As a new affiliate coming into SFI and wanting to build a good business they are going to see many forum post or stream messages that encourage them to help their down-lines become team leaders.
With that being said; we as team leaders need to be training our new affiliates what is the appropriate assistance that they should be giving their new and up-coming team leaders.
One of the easiest traps to fall into is when a teammate of ours will contact us with a plea for financial help. I am soft hearted and an easy pushover for a good hard luck story (because I have been there many times myself). So I ended up giving financial help too many different affiliates over the period of three years.
I kind of told myself; “This is an investment in my business,” As of today I must say it has been a bad investment. Not a single affiliate that I have helped financially is in my team today. As soon as I have helped them they disappear or quit by the end of the month.
So I would say that you do not need funds to invest in them because it doesn’t pay. Also when we are helping them financially we are setting a bad example for our teammates to follow. Remember we train our affiliates to duplicate our actions and many of our affiliates cannot afford to help others financially.
One other point to consider is that when helping our teammates financially we are helping to create “dependents” and that is not what we want to create, we want them to be in-dependent affiliates building their own business.
Give every kind of assistance that your affiliates needs as far as training, recognition, and in teaching them how to market and sell products. Help our affiliates sponsor people in their team then teach them to train their down-lines.
Stay in constant communication and contact with your affiliates and answer their questions as soon as you can.
Be the Awesome sponsor we all wish we had – but keep your wallet in your pocket or purse.
