It is not just a case of encouraging or discouraging your PSA's to become a team leader. You need to give them a full explanation of your reasons for the advice you are giving.

You should be explaining to them that they would not be getting any of the team leader benefits, (apart from 2nd home CSA's,) if they haven't got a team to lead. Of course if they are extremely lucky they could pick up a couple of EA2's in their 2nd home CSA's but that is rather a gamble.

They would be

Encourage them. But point out to them that there are costs - financial and other in becoming a team leader.

Personally if you can afford $36.25 a month for an SO, BTL is easier to attain than EA2.
It is not that hard to get 1000 Action VP if you have 1500 Sales VP already. The 1500 VP Standing Order is 100 Action VP. Doing the daily actions on your To-Do list is 360 and playing 6-7 games of Gold Streak every day is another 200. Your weekly and monthly actions are another 167 VP. You

As per the compensation plan of SFI, our earnings depend on VPs along with the leadership level at which you are currently in. When PSA becomes EA, it has to recognized promptly in order to encourage and motivate to go higher right away.

As PSA progresses to EA2 then becoming BTL is the next step forward. This needs investment , knowledge of other programs in SFI and ways by which to get the necessary Action VPs and sales VPs to go higher levels. Therefore encouraging them in every way

Most of the answers to your question that have been posted here have touched on the idea that you need a team before you can be a team leader. SFI is a team building program. Each EA2 you develop is worth 100VP each month. When you have several EA2's on your team, becoming and maintaining "Team Leader" is much easier for you.

I would rather encourage my team members to maintain their EA2 rank and encourage their PSAs to do the same. Teach your people Duplication rather than encouraging

Dear Aunty! Thanks for this question !!

In my opinion,
First of all, we should not discourage any person we are readily and willingly working in SFI. They may wish to become Team leader like BTL, STL, GTL, PTL anyhow, but we need to explain them the real fact. Its our responsibility as a Team Leader.

Our work here is to always encourage them in all their proceeding. But, one thing we have to keep in mind. "Moving very fast is always danger". Insist this

Hello friend,

This is a very complicated question for many but for the experienced ones, it would be relatively an easier one to answer.

As far as I am concerned, I always encourage my PSAs to retain their status as EA (Executive Affiliate) in the system to earn a commission each other and other perks till they are in a position to create their own Team to become a Team Leader.

I do believe in the simple logic that a Leader will survive for long only if he/she has

Your PSAs who want to become Team Leader right away have a great vision with SFI business. Great vision can provide extra energy to do the daily tasks assigned to them no matter what happen. As sponsor of these PASs, you can guide them with their journey to a fruitful and successful destiny.

Don't forget to answer all their questions regarding SFI business. And always encourage them, so they could fell that you support them all the way.

As a reminder, make sure that you did

I believe you should encourage affiliates that want to become team leaders. Some might believe that the emphasis is having a team but I put the emphasis on Leader. If an affiliate wants to be in front, showing how to lead I support that one hundred percent. I have been a Bronze Team leader since the second month in SFI.

I see a leader as someone out in front, not the bourse carriage driver snapping the whip on a team of horses taking me to my destination. When an affiliate chooses to

Hi
I don't think you should do neither.why? This is because, encouraging them is bringing your labour over into fruitlessness, the reason is because encouraging them to become team leaders overnight without a team is like being a father without a child to call your own. They won't last in that position because they won't get the result they are looking for, which is the money attached to their matching VP, so they opt out in the end which won't be good for you if they had been active.

I think this is good question and more or less all sponsor or co-sponsor gets this question from their members. In anxiety, member wants to become Team Leader and also sponsor/co-sponsor also ask to go ahead in anxiety. Some times it is wrong to advise to become Team Leader if member do not have sufficient team to justify himself. It is important to look at the pros & cons of becoming Team Leader before we take final decision. In my opinion, if member have sufficient hard working team members
