Should you advise your new PSAs to slow down and not qualify as Team Leaders so quickly?
That's a tough question, Sandra, because every new affiliate is different, with different skills, different goals and different insight and understanding of the purpose and benefit of the SFI ranking system.
I wouldn't discourage a new PSA from charging full speed ahead, but I would definitely encourage them to FIRST get a full understanding of the SFI compensation plan and ranking system. It's not like other plans, and we don't want them making decisions and taking action based on incorrect assumptions.
Just how we educate them properly and effectively is a challenge, though, because there is just so much to learn and only so much you can take in at a time.
I think communication is the key. We should follow a standard, step-by-step learning program for new PSAs, rather than everybody giving THEIR new PSAs different priorities to focus on based on their own interests or perspective.
- We need them to understand what VersaPoints are, what the purpose and value of VP is, and how it relates to their Team Leader achievement levels.
- We need them to understand the various ways to earn income with SFI and what role Sales VP and Action VP play in it all.
- We need them to fully understand that the advanced Team Leader levels are dependent not just on accumulating personal VP, but on actually building a team with members who are earning VP monthly.
- And we need them to understand that it is very likely that the majority of people they recruit will NOT be business-builders like they are, so it may take more time than they expect to build a strong enough team to effectively maintain the advanced Team Leader levels.
However . . . that's a LOT of info to take in all at once, and since it's all new to them, they may not fully understand it and get all the connections! Where do we start?
That is the challenge we all face with our new PSAs: Communication; Understanding; Effective Planning
