Hello Mary,
First, i want to thank you for bringing up such an important question and to your efforts at the forum in answering affiliates questions. I have gained one or two things from them.
When an affiliate joins SFI for the first time, it is good you allow the affiliate to move at his/her own pace. You may just be at the background watching his/her improvement through the VP ledger.
Of course, you have to state in your welcome letter stuff like the FAST TRACK and the bonus that comes with it etc. Personally, we all want PSAs and CSAs who would become team leaders from the word go and continue to requalify as Team Leaders every month. Don't we?
In the light of the above, i will never discourage my PSA who wants to become a Team Leader right away. If i were to start SFI all over again, i would be a Team Leader from my first month. But you know that affiliates have different levels of reasoning and finance plays an important role here too.
I have read in some thread, of people saying that it is not good to become a Team Leader when you have no team to lead. I don't buy that idea entirely. If you are ready and quite happy to spend the money to become a TL without a team why not? I have always been a TL and i started that process even when i had no team to lead.
So discouraging a PSA not to become a TL might be limiting his/her potentials. If your PSA asks for your opinion about becoming a TL please do not discourage him/her rather, let him/her know of the implications of what is to come and the benefits. The problem is that most persons sign up with SFI with the hope of making it quick. By the time they try it for 2 months without any gains they become inactive. There is no way such class of persons can be successful in business even outside SFI.
To conclude, i will say encourage your PSAs to become Team Leaders if they want to and let them move at their own pace too.
I hope that was helpful, see you at the top.
