The answers to this question are likely to be sharply divergent. There are strong views from experienced affiliates that persons should remain as EA2s and allow their team members to take them beyond that level to Team Leader (TL). Some have even dismissed the practice of being a TL without a team as being nonsensical, not earning/working for TL but buying rank. I disagree. I could even argue that relying on your downline to take you to TL could be considered predatory practice.
I would motivate my downline to advance in rank (if they are open to the suggestion) by impressing upon them the following:
1. As a Team Leader you get a share of Second Home CSAs each month which turns out to be about 60 or so affiliates. I know of no better way to build your team. In fact, my CSAs are more active than my PSAs that I have bought through S-Builder Co-op, PSAs to Go and at ECA stores as well as those that I recruit from my warm market. This means from a strictly financial perspective, my Second Home CSAs which I receive for maintaining BTL rank are better value for money;
2. Contrary to popular belief, you are not ‘buying rank’. I have a monthly S/O which earns me 1500VPs. I make other purchases to build my business-Gift Cards, Hits to my Gateways, referrals, etc. that usually give me another 500 sales VPs. These are legitimate purchases that any affiliate who is serious about building his/her business will make (as long as he can afford to). These purchases earn me AVPs which when added to my daily, weekly and monthly tasks give me the required 1,000 AVPs for me to retain rank.
3. I would put some of my movers under my aspiring TLs to help boost their business and push them upward and forward
4. Start a co-op that invites the participation of those in the EA and above rank.
We should proactively encourage our team members to move forward in their business in keeping with the SFI motto: AIM HIGH, DREAM BIG.
