Actioning the Daily to do list in my opinion is like a swimmer treading water - it keeps you afloat. It doesn't get you anywhere. If you don't strike out and swim you will stay put and you will eventually run out of energy and sink.
To really succeed in SFI you've got to do more than just simply doing the to-do-lists.
Our two core roles as SFI Affiliates are selling TripleClicks products and services, and also recruiting SFI affiliates. If we all focus on these, I am certain that SFI will be even more successful. Sure we do talk about residual income, duplication, sponsoring etc... but these are all in aid of our core roles.
To answer your question, these are the main things I do in addition to the to-do-lists:
1. On going Self Training. I am a firm believer in training & learning about our roles, what they entail and how to go about carrying them out. I therefore always allocate training time in my weekly SF schedule. I set out my training schedule (monthly) and I include in there such things as SFI Basics (refresh), the Launchpads (refresh) SFI texts, using SFI tools, Internet Course, marketing & advertising, sponsoring etc... I need to know what I am doing and what I am talking about to my team.
Self development as a person, mentor and leader are also important and I try to do some reading about leaders, motivational skills, inspirational stories and methods etc..
2. Advertising. I post ads to recruit affiliates and also promoting TripleClicks products, auctions, games. I think it is very important that I do this every day if possible. Without people signing up as PSAs, ECAs or TC members, I would be just 'treading water' and not growing my business at all.
3. Sponsoring. An awesome sponsor should be able to train and motivate his/her people to succeed in SFI - to refer PRMs and sign up PSAs.
With PRMs, other than sending them a gift certificate, all the other contacts and promotions to them are done by TripleClicks.
That leaves us free to focus on the PSAs and CSAs, sponsoring them:
Daily ensure new PSAs and CSAs are contacted and welcomed.
Check and reply to all messages from my team members
Send out congratulatory messages to those reaching milestones & acknowledging achievements
Check movers list, genealogy reports, VP Ledger and send out encouraging and tips notes where relevant.
Send out newsletters, streams, training notes to team members
Run incentive contests for all my team members.
Update team online training material at team website/FaceBook group etc..
4. Research. This goes hand in hand with items 2 & 3 above especially advertising: etc..
What are the market trends regarding what people are buying online
Who are buying items online - (It appears that British women spend the most online than any other - men or women.) What do they spend their money on?
Business programs that can help me build my business.
There are of course many other things to do but what I have set out above are the main activities which I think one must do in order to really succeed in SFI.
