This is a good question and one I asked myself a few months ago.
The benefits of being a Bronze Team Leader are:
matching VP for the work of your team down to 6 levels.
12 bonus TCredits every month
1 share of second home CSAs
a once-off $10 Bronze Bonus the second month you maintain BTL
The benefits of being a BTL must be weighed up against what it may cost you to attain or maintain that status. I became a BTL in my first month by doing all of my training right away. Of course I didn't have a team to lead, so I didn't benefit from the matching VP.
The shares of CSAs I received were useless because none of them did much and the minimal CSC I received was a pittance compared to the cost of maintaining BTL.
I persevered for several months buying PSAs through S-Builder and Pro-Profit. Most of these never logged in and of the few who did, most dropped out after the first month.
I realised I couldn't maximise the benefits of being a BTL unless I had a strong team to a few levels deep. There is no point spending money to maintain that rank if the cost of doing so far outweighs the returns you get from the rank.
I decided to drop back to EA2 and focus on building a strong team and making sales in TripleClicks before worrying about becoming BTL again. I keep a check on my Scoreboard page which shows me what earnings I may be missing out on by not being a BTL. When I see that my team is growing and generating enough VP to make it worthwhile to outlay more money, then I will again become BTL.
So you maximise the benefits of being a Bronze Team Leader by having a strong team going to several levels with regular EA2s in more than 1 level. You need to work hard at building your downline and helping your team to grow and become strong before you can benefit from being a BTL.
It is definitely worth aiming for, because you will never get rich staying an EA2. The power of this business is in the TripleClicks Executive Pool matching VP and you must be a team leader to tap into that. However don't waste your limited resources maintaining this level until you are in a position to really benefit from it.
