This is a very difficult balance to achieve, and it's something I'm still working on. Here are some of the things I have done:

1. Create a support blog for my team. Most of my team mails are simple, short emails, letting them know I have posted something new on the blog.

2. Run contests that your team members can choose to participate in or not.

3. Include a brief message in every team mail to remind your team members that you are always available if they have questions

In general, send team mails that will apply to all members. Reminders to do daily tasks, learn something new every day, read all Forum posts for extra DailyGrand entry, rate 30 askSC answers, etc.

For more specific support/motivation, go to Movers tab first, check VP Ledger for activities. When you see someone lacking in any area, send an e-card of tips that might be of interest to them, or tactful suggestions.

If they do not respond, leave them be. If they do, and need/want

I noticed on word in your question that I recommend you think about. The word is "demanding". In this business people are here because they have a desire to own a business of their own. They are not looking for a boss. A better approach would be to think in terms of suggesting to them what they might do to increase their income, sponsor more PSAs, or earn more VP.

When I am preparing a communication to my genealogy list, I try to put myself in their place. What kind of help do

Hi Florence.

Nice question. I hope I can support you in this matter as I myself need to know why so many people are not interested to make money. Easy money!! Easy is when once they join, straight away they do all the actions needed without telling them what to do.

Some people who had bad experience with other internet business might not want to be told what to do. They prefer to watch and wait. They knows that SFI can make money, but afraid until proven. But they never even

There are several ways in which you can support and motivate your team members. But the simplest and cheapest method am goin to lay emphasis on is mailing.
SFI as provide the powerful mailing tools that you can easily use to reach your team members without stress.
Start sending mails to your team from the first day you recruit them. Send a Welcome message immediately you have them, Let them know about the goodies at SFI and that you are ready to fully support them as their sponsor.

For a Successful SFI Business we need to have a strong, active and motivated Team. How can we do all these & support the Team Members?

Quite often I read, " How to be an awesome Sponsor?"

I would like to share some of the best points I gathered from there:

1. First and foremost, we lead by example. What we want them to do, we should do and
show them how that can be done; People will trust a person who demonstrates rather

Motivation is key in this business.

Given that this is not just money, it is necessary to invest a lot of effort into it.

Daily contact with the PSA is very important.

It is very important to keep them active in the business - everyday.

Every day - with a new message, lesson, information ....... in SFI has so many motivational tools, but they should be used.

Everything is on the site of SFI.

SFI operates more than 16 years, and

Support and motivation depends more on satisfying their needs than it does on the outcomes themselves. Good incentives, whether in the form of T-Credits, PSAs, or shares of a cooperative can make a bigger difference than actually demanding anything... but you have to know your team members well first.

Elicit responses from them, know what interests them most, whether through SFI/TripleClicks or through outside hobbies. When someone understands that you're on his or her side, you can
