Before answering your question, I would like to address the aspects of moving up to a higher rank and the difference of training and support. Presenting these two aspects will give you a clear picture of the course of action that you need to take.
You should continue to try training and supporting them, because you know the importance of communication in building relationship. A well coordinated effort in building your downline will pay off in the long run as you maintain to stay connected with them.
What are the factors that would influence your PSAs/CSAs to move up to the higher rank faster than you?
- They’re fast learners.
- They’re well disciplined in their time management by consistently putting in their time and effort to learn the SFI system and they’re go-getters.
- They’re result-oriented driven.
- They have set up both their short and long term goals.
- They invest financially by allocating and maintaining a sound budget to expand the growth of their SFI business.
- On the other hand, an affiliate can move up faster to higher rank by collecting all his/her training AVPs in his/her first month and topping it up with financial investment. Time will tell, if his/her business model is sustainable.
What’s the difference between training and supporting your PSAs/CSAs?
- You can support the members of your team on a variety of ways, including training, coaching, mentoring and providing emotional support. It can all seem confusing to many people to explain the difference between them.
- Training is a planned and structured process aimed at improving affiliate’s work-related skills and knowledge.
Equipped with the above information you can do the following to your affiliates, who advance faster than you:
- In the case of your affiliates who are experienced marketer, ask their input, tips and advices for the development and growth of your whole team. Particularly, you can ask their cooperation to share their marketing plan and strategy for the benefit of everyone in your SFI organization.
- For affiliates who collect all their training AVPs in their first month and are relying on investing more financially to move up to higher rank quickly, you will need to emphasize to them the proper training to run a profitable SFI business. They would need your coaching and mentoring. This would be the perfect situation where you can make use of the knowledge you gained from the first case.
- In both cases always be prepared to provide your emotional support especially when your affiliates are having challenges which may result in a sudden inactivity. This is the time when they need your encouragement and motivation the most.
It is a great motivation to see your affiliates advancing, whether they’re moving up faster than you or not, continue to train and support them. Everyone has the potential to become a top performer and a tremendous asset to your SFI business.
