Hi Richard;
The best way to motivate your downline, is with your example;

What motivated you not to stay an EA forever? What steps did you take to get to the next level? In what áreas were you weak and worked out to overcome them?

If your sponsor gave you some kind of rewards for a " good job" all you have to do is the the same thing.

We have to understand that in order to duplicate, we must follow some simple rules that SFI provides for everybody, as simple as that , we don´t need to reinvent the Wheel.

Hope my answer helps a bit.
Thanks

The best way to motivate your team to become leaders is to lead by promoting a team building concept. This means that you help every member that maintains at least EA to build their network. Provide a co-op and explain to them that a co-op splits the cost of advertising. If you are using free advertising, then explain to them that a free co-op will save time because the more people using a network will draw a larger following. In marketing this is name as the swarm effect.

Many marketers are discouraged from free advertising because everyone is using it. While this is true, everyone does not know how to engage the prospect in such a way as to command a desired response. Traffic exchanges are growing because more people are looking for ways to create additional income. So this is a viable source of traffic when you know how to tap into it by distinguishing your message from the competition. That's why all the businesses try to get into the business district in town!

Any way, EAs are the building blocks of a growing network. Your network starts with EA. So reward all of your EAs with new members. Not only with this motivate them to maintain EA but also it will encourage them to recruit for themselves. Teach your EAs how to set up co-ops and reward their EAs with members. Then over time you don't ever have to mention higher milestone achievements because they will start to occur naturally. This is spontaneous growth. This is where you want your focus to be.

Contrarily, when you place demands on your network to reach for higher milestones without the support of EAs in your network burnout is the end result. It is not possible to maintain the higher milestones without active EAs in your network. When you drive your team to such a exasperated place they start dying off like flies! This is why people who were once active in SFI quit - burnout!

Therefore rather than recruiting 1000s of affiliate a day in the efforts of making Platinum, it is far better to recruit 5 and teach them how to recruit 5 and so forth. Build sustainability in your network by creating EAs that understand how things work. This is not a sprint but indeed it is a marathon because it take time to develop such a network. You start at square 1 and lay a strong foundation based of the basics. Your workers will understand and respect you when you focus on a team build model and not on a make money fast model. When done properly over time no EA will remain EA. No BTL will remain BTL. Everyone will eventually go Platinum! That's the beauty of the Strong Future International compensation plan. Awesome, isn't it?

Hello fellow Affiliate,

As far as I am concerned, I believe that becoming an EA every month is mandatory to earn a commission in SFI but becoming a Team Leader is more beneficial and ladder to further growth.

Through my weekly support messages, I always insist on the importance of becoming a Team Leader rather than just being an EA for very long time. I also believe that our Weekly Support Messages will have the desired impact on them instead of separate lengthy mails to the concerned. Besides that, you can also interact with your downline through social networking sites to convince them more effectively.

By becoming a Team Leader, it can be BTL, STL, GTL or PTL, according to our choice and the requirements, we earn not only the direct commission but also the very attractive matching commission from our downline till level 12.

Moreover, we also get a huge chunk of Second Home CSAs from the SFI as an appreciation to our efforts to become the Team Leader.

I feel, if you can explain all these benefits in a very systematic and inspirational manner to your downline, I am sure, they will give an ear to those suggestions and act accordingly.

Wish you great success.

Hello there,

A team leader is a title awarded to an affiliate who has accumulated at least 3,000 VersaPoints for the month (1,500 minimum/2,000 maximum VersaPoints must come from sales and/or purchases to qualify for Team Leader status). There are four VIP Team Leader titles: Bronze Team Leader, Silver Team Leader, Gold Team Leader, and Platinum Team Leader.

When we start out initially, we get to an executive affiliate,EA, but it is the desire of everybody here to become team leaders especially when you start sponsoring affiliate.

For you to be able to motivate your downline to become team leaders, you must need to be a team leader yourself and this should naturally, show on your badge chest. That is why the badges is an important component of SFI. With your badges, you do not need to tell your downlines verbally to become EA or team leaders. They see what you do and they want to copy you, in the process.

There is no better way to motivate your downline to become team leaders rather than to practice what SFI management has been preaching all the while....That is to be an awesome sponsor.

For instance, i have been a team leader now for 16 months as a BTL. I see my sponsor is one step ahead of me as a Silver Team leader. It is my aspiration to go past BTL and into Silver or above. Unknowingly, my sponsor motivates me without any verbal communication simply because i see it in his badge chest. I try to do what my sponsor does as an awesome sponsor. I hope with that i should be able to motivate my downlines to go past the EA level and remain there.

There are a lots of reasons given, why affiliates, should not aspire to be team leaders without an active team. Yes, with an active team, it becomes easier to progress but you can and should put faith in your business by going the extra mile to become a team leader with or without an initial active downline.

Hope you remain a team leader as you try to motivate your downlines to remain team leaders.And above all, be an awesome sponsor always.

Thanks

The best way to motivate members of our down line to become Team Leaders and not stay EAs is to:

1. Explain the benefits/compensation plans applicable to EA to Different levels of
Leadership Positions;

2. The ways and means to achieve the different Leadership levels;

3. The disadvantage of just remaining EA;

4. How to create strong down lines?

5. How to motivate, inspire and activate all inactive Members of the Team?

6. How to be an awesome Sponsor?

Above all, when we demonstrate all these through our OWN example, our Team Members will certainly be motivated to put in their best effort to create their own Team which means they are growing continuously!!

Everything begins from the Leaders/Sponsors!!

Gery Carson, the Founder of SFI has amply demonstrated all these!! Its time for us NOW to duplicate!!!

When we DO, our Team too will DO!!!!

In order to motivate you must in yourself lead by example.

* Display your achievements in Banner, Rank and the ROI you have made since you became an affiliate.

* Show and prove to your down line that you are actuallly earning more being a Team Leader and how you do it.
Visual evidence are easier to convince, it explains why people quickly click and fall prey to the online marketing schemes promising "6 figures" with less work. When in fact its impossible.

Its as simple as that, whatever you may have to tell them must be with proof and they would quickly follow suit and do same just to be like or earn like you did. Anyone of them who had be hesitant might immediately get motivated by you after viewing facts!

Hope this is close to what you needed to know.

That is a very good question,

Your Team need to learn about this business before they can teach others. You do not manipulate them. You practice patience assessing their VP ledgers and checking that they are following the required actions each day.

If they are true Leaders they will motivate themselves and that is what the Mover's tab is for so you can Assess their progress and reward all the things that they are accomplishing and doing correctly. Showing them how communication is very important and that we are their support not just out to line our own pockets.

Not every member on your Genealogy report is cut out to be a team leader and you are just looking for your five strongest Team Players who have earned their place in your front line.

You have to show by example what a Leader is supposed to do by doing all the things yourself, that you would like your Team to be doing. We all learn best by example and being shown the way, not told what to do. They will grow with love and much success
if you treat them well and they will get there at their own pace.

You have individuals who have inherent talents and qualities so they are born with those characteristics and therefore it takes little or no effort for them to accomplish those tasks-they just develop the talent over time and become the best in what they choose to do with their talent. Then we have those who work hard to achieve similar results. It's possible to compete with the one who is naturally talented but it depends on you how far you are willing to go to achieve those "best" results.

Similarly, leadership requires qualities that may be inherent in some but can be developed with hard work, commitment and an attitude of willing to create opportunities for others. You can be a born leader but if you are not inclined to take a stand and be at the forefront of what is going on around you, you will stay in your comfort zone and not take a step forward.

SFI is an equal opportunity player and this gives everyone a standard platform which allows you to tap on your potential and become a leader. The time that you spend in duplicating and sponsoring affiliates is the start of your leadership. The qualities you will need to get you to that level of leadership :-
- aggressive marketing initiatives
- never getting dejected or discouraged
- not giving up easily when there are hurdles in SFI
- encouraging and brushing your positive attitude to those who are in your team
- being there for your affiliates when they need help
- having passion for what you believe in and this gives you guaranteed results

You are already a leader once you move up your ranks and it is the beginning of the momentum you will set for your affiliates. One final word, the correct focus gets you to become the kind of Leader that you want and once you believe this will happen, it will.

If your downline members continue to remain EAs then obviously they have valid reason for doing so. The fact that they become EA shows clearly that they have understood SFI and the system very well. Mostly they miss out becoming BTL due to shortage of action points which should be a minimum of 1000. So by teaching them to get maximum action points you can motivate them to become BTL.

The real income in SFI shows up only at BTL provided you have as many EA2s as possible under you. Therefore the idea of duplication is very vital. Having said that, once you becomne a Team leader your paramont duty here is to teach and motivate your downlines to do exactly what you did. There were experts, masters and seniors who have very clearly shown the path to success. SFI has its own "Awsome Sponsors" training and lessons which can be very useful in this context.

Please remember that to motivate others you have to be motivated always.

Best wishes and warm regards.
