As a new Team Leader the single most important thing that you should be doing is building your team of passionate affiliates. The core principle of SFI affiliate program is Duplication. Make sure that you read and understand SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD.

Here’s how to get started:

- Increase your knowledge base by learning one topic at a time found on the SFI Training materials such as Sales, Sponsoring, LaunchPad, Getting Started, Rules of Success and so on.

- Apply what you have learned. The application of each topic will require some time or some money investment depending on your situation and level of understanding. It is very important that you master the basics of SFI in order to teach them to your affiliates. Your affiliates look upon you as their example; therefore you should be consistently logging in and performing your To-Do List. Strive to excel in everything that you do, whether in sponsoring or supporting your affiliates.

- Establish close relationship within your team. Laying the foundation of solid and healthy relationship within your team is paramount to every one’s success in your team. If you as a Team Leader succeed in the beginning in establishing close relationship within your team, which is based on honesty, sincerity and trustworthiness, your affiliates will hear you. SFI has provided great tools to achieve this (Leadership Page, SFIM, Team Talk, Stream Post, Forum, E-Card and so on).

With these steps in mind, you’ll achieve your full potential of being one of the most decorated SFI Team Leader and you can pass this on to your downlines.

Hi Stephen,

I summed it up with this words: Lead By Example.

In grand scale, is to help grow the business of the Company and your team. As new Team Leader, some of the specific things you need to do, that will contribute to this success would be, ensuring both you and your team stay focused and motivated. Finding things they can do or do differently that can improve relationship and performance, between you and your team members. Rules of Success applies.

Without real relationship or friendship with an affiliate, it will be difficult to build an optimal level of trust with them. Once this established, its easier for a Team Leader to make a suggestions for the affiliate to utilize/apply in their works.

You succeed only if they succeed.
"Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves it is amazing at what they can accomplish."
-Sam Walton

Be a Great Leader....

As a new Team Leader the single most important thing I should be doing is to provide support for the team. Support for the team includes effective communications, motivating the team, imparting knowledge, solving their problems pertaining to SFI, answering their questions, checking on their progress, providing feedback and helping them to progress to become Team Leaders.

Effective communications is a vital part of the support. There must be regular communications to maintain the rapport with the team. Communication channels such as Team Mail, Stream, PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, Genealogy Group Mailer, E-mail etc. must be used often to provide the needed support.

A Team Leader should motivate his team to perform. This can be done by offering his team rewards like TCredits, PSAs, gift certificates, reassigning movers, getting them to participate in Co-Ops etc.

A Team Leader should impart his knowledge to his team members, so that they can progress too resulting in a win-win situation. In order to do this Team Leaders themselves must learn and be well versed with SFI business.

The team members will encounter problems from time to time pertaining to the building up of their SFI business. The Team Leader must be able to address these problems and help them to succeed.

Team members will have questions for Team Leaders. The Team Leader has to provide the answers for their queries. The forum, ASK SC, FAQs etc. are avenues where answers can be found.

Team Leaders should check on the progress of the team, measure their performance, provide feedback and advise them on the corrective action to take.

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate! (But not too much...)
It is most important that you keep in close contact with your team, without overwhelming them with information. One email every other day is the maximum I set - unless there is a pressing concern. SFI has set up a system that rewards you for weekly communication - use it!

Do a team letter every week. You never know when an inactive member will decide to take a closer look. Your continued care for them may light that spark.

Stream every other day or so. Encourage the team, congratulate accomplishments, promote advertising, accentuate selling/recruiting points that work for you.

Keep your Leadership Page up to date. (This is vital, because you can lose your status if you don't!) Keep an eye on your Home Page header. If you see a little red dot next to your picture, it's time to update!

Contact your Movers personally if you see a change in their performance.

Welcome every new person! You can write a welcome letter that will automatically greet them as soon as they sign up. However, your business will be in a state of constant change, so write a followup with any additional information your new Team Member may need.

Most of all, keep learning, growing, and striving to build your business! Your team will do what you do, so do something every day - big or small - to grow your business. Be a LEADER. That's the real key.

The short answer here is for you to Lead your Team and be an Awesome Sponsor/Co Sponsor.

Always remember that your team members are all real people, with dreams and aspirations and most likely loved ones who may be dependent upon them.

They have joined SFI for a variety of reasons but if you look at their profiles you will see that it is most likely 'to get out of debt' 'to be wealthy' 'improve my standard of living' etc.. These all have one thing in common, they want to be successful. Your own reasons for joining SFI are most likely similar. Remember that.

Your role is to assist them achieve their goals and thereby achieving your own goals. Its a win/win situation.

You can coach them to earn money within SFI using all the income streams available, but I strongly recommend that you coach them and teach them the art of Duplication. Work hard at this.

Duplication, as I see it, is the key to your success and to those of your affiliates.
Teach and coach them on how to recruit and sponsor their own teams of affiliates. Be an awesome sponsor and co sponsor. This to me is the single most important thing that a Team Leader should do.

Hi Stephen,

I think the single most important thing you should do once you become a new Team Leader is to communicate with your team and let them know that you are there for them. Read "How to be an Awesome Sponsor" and follow those guidelines. They will help you learn what to do and what to avoid.

Share with your team the knowledge you have acquired and try to find out how you can help individual members who are struggling. Work directly with those affiliates who show an interest and are willing to work, and continue to communicate, at least once a week, with your less active affiliates.

Continue to read about new ways to improve and expand your knowledge so that you can answer your team member's questions correctly and efficiently. In order to do this, I suggest you rate 30 answers in the ASK SC section each day and visit the Forum at least once a day to find and save the answers to questions your team members may ask in the future.

Good Team Leaders take good care of their teams.

I believe the most important thing you should be doing as a team leader is motivating your team. Lead by example and show them how to be successful with SFI.
Actions speak louder than words, so if you're not practicing what you're preaching, no one will listen to you.
This means being active every day in SFI. Posting stream updates and updating your SFI blog regularly. Send out team mails with either words of encouragement or ideas on how to make SFI more successful for your downline.
Show your team how to be successful by being successful yourself.
If you're not sure how to encourage your team, ask yourself what you would like to get from your sponsor. What would help you the most? What would convince you to keep logging in daily and completing your tasks? What would motivate you to promote your business?
Write down a few answers to these questions and send them to your team.

As a leader, we should have team members under us. The measurement of leadership not just here in SFI is how well we motivate our team mates to keep on working or participating in team work with sustained passion and interest.

This can be done by frequent communication to motivate our team mates to work on with us towards success.

But the best way one can be a leader is by SETTING AN EXAMPLE. Being an active affiliate yourself, your team mates under or above you will be inspired to follow your example as well.

So start the leadership within yourself by being an active and determined affiliate and indeed it will spread like fire among your team mates.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day everyone!
