As a new Team Leader, you should still be trying to gain as many PSAs as possible, but at the same time you should be developing and training those who are showing a keen interest in succeeding with SFI. As your numbers increase, you will quickly be able to spot your star Affiliates and, as you do that, you will want to help them keep up their enthusiasm. You will then begin to think of reassignments.
The number of PSAs is not always the best determining factor as to when you should begin to reassign.Reassigning affiliates is one way to bolster enthusiasm, if done in the right manner. It also strengthens your team. And it gives the chance to group people from the same country, language, culture together so all can understand how to succeed with SFI.
So you will want to look at your list of PSAs who are eligible to be reassigned.
You will find there are three groups:
1) Those that have not make much progress since logging in,
2) Those who have worked on their To Do List but have stopped
3) Those who has earned at least 600 vp in the past 90 days.
Now you will have to determine the purpose you are doing the transfer:
1) So you can get the 5 vp for doing the transfer
2) So the receiving PSA will have someone to write and receive the 120 vp per month for using the mailers
3) To truly give your star PSAs a start on building an active team.
Then you look to see who fits into which category.
You will probably find that you have an over abundance of do-nothing PSAs and you can easily reassign them to your PSAs who need some in order to begin to learn the Genealogy, use the Mailers, and learn how to lead. There' probably no question of whether you can afford to give them up. EXCEPT you must prepare your receiving PSA to understand that these are to help him practice using the methods SFI provides so he will be ready when he gets some active PSAs of his own.
As you look at your list of PSAs, you will look to see how many workers you have that are worthy of receiving reassigned PSAs and how many you have to reassign. Remember, you do not want to give out all of your good workers. This is not a one time process.
You want to keep some promising workers for yourself.
It is said that 5 good workers will eventually build a decent sized group of workers. I would keep more than that in my front line, So I would not begin to reassign the good workers until I had more than that number.
Also, the person being reassigned and the receiving PSA should be notified and
assured of the benefits for both of them, and asked if they are ready for this reassignment.
If when you look at your list of PSAs and you have some who are really working hard enough to be rewarded with valuable, working PSAs, but you do not have many available working PSAs to reward all of your reward worthy PSAs, then stack them.
Lets say that A has 600 vp and two working PSAs, B has 750 vp with 3 PSAs, C has 450 vp with no PSAs, and D,E,F have less than 100 vp. C needs the practice and use of the mailers so give him D,E, and F with the understanding that they will give him experience and when he proves himself, you will give him an active PSA. Then give C to B as a reward to B and a help to C. And finally give B to A not only as a reward, but also as a challenge to keep ahead of B.
This not only builds depth, but rewards A,B,and C, by giving B, C, D, E, F potential successful upline, while retaining your help in the future. You only earn 5 vp from this reassignment, but you are building depth and strength into your team.
Another very useful use for reassignments is to link affiliates who speak the same language or have the same culture. By placing a downline under an active person who speaks the language and knows the local ins and outs, it can strengthen him and make the business a lot easier on those who don't understand what it's all about.
This cultural reassignment might bring strength to your team even before you feel that you have enough generation 1 PSAs.
