What is the best way to motivate members of my down-line to become Team Leaders and not stay EAs?
Love your question – I would assume that you are already holding a team leader position. Every affiliate who has reached this level should be thinking of how he/she can motivate their down-line EA2s to push on to a team leader level.
I noticed many answers have already suggested that you can share information on how you obtained that level yourself. Some answers gave a list of perks you can send to your down-line in hopes that they will desire the same. Some have even suggested sending them a copy of your income voucher as proof of the money that can be made. (That’s a no-no)
So far all of the answers I have read have merit and are good methods of ways to attempt to entice your EA2s to keep pushing forward. It is a small thing to send this type of information to your EA2s by using the several different ways of communication through SFI and TripleClicks.
What we need to realize is that most of your down-line will not be able to copy what you are presently doing because of many variable reasons when dealing in a global enterprise. Some of those problems deal with the Country they live in, family problems, lack of computer access and Internet service, financial difficulties and many other reasons.
All the problems listed above need to be taken into account when dealing with your affiliates that are maintaining an EA2 level. If you push them to much (information overload) they may pack up and leave never to try again.
The best plan I can come up with for motivating my EA2s to become team leaders is to be an Awesome Sponsor. The people who are workers and movers in your down-line are going to be there for a long time (if they are not given a reason to leave) so you need to build up their trust in the system and in you as their leader. They need to see that you are not just trying to line your billfold/purse with their efforts.
Many answers to this question has made the suggestion of giving your EA2s re-assigned affiliates that have over 600 VP within the last 90 days - This is a great idea and it may motivate a few affiliates to start trying to build their team up enough to reach a team leader spot.
I personally take this one step further – I give them new affiliates, this way if the affiliates are active then your EA2s will receive up to 45% commissions from their down-line instead of only 15% from re-assigned affiliates. Do this enough times with your movers and you will see many of your EA2s moving into leadership positions. (By the way I do not charge them any co-op fees; I do this for them free of charge).
Did you lose money doing this? Good question. No – any investment you make in your personal business will bring you more income than you originally spent. At the same time you will be building trust, loyalty and friendship. Without which, you will have no business to speak of.
You ask – “Are you doing this now?” Yes I am. You ask again “How many team leaders do you have on your front line or in your personal group?” Right at this moment I do not have a “mover” on my front line. “Well then how can you suggest that others do this?”
I do what all smart team leaders are doing and that is working with those who are workers and movers and at this time they are all CSAs. As much as I can, I treat all my affiliates the same. Why not? They are in my team therefor if they make money – guess what – so do I.
