There are two reasons why our VP appear to reset to zero at the start of each month.

1. What ever VP we earn is paid the next month - We are paid monthly so its just right to remove what was already paid.

2. Our Ranks depends on the VP we earned (Part is action VP and part is VP from purchases). Our rank is the basis for many incentives we received, like our share on the CSA's, our share on the executive pool, and the number of free TC. So it is right to look at only what you earn for the month.

Just assured your affiliates that whatever they earn for the month is being added to their total VP and can stay there for 90 days and can help him rank in VP leaderboard.

Versapoints reset every month to zero because affiliates get paid On the 15 of every month. Every month affiliates have to do actions from the to do list to accumulate versapoints so that we earn commissions. For example if you joined SFI in February of 2015 then you have to complete the getting started actions, Launchpad and the red tabs to accumulate the most action points possible and the buy products on TripleClicks such as the New member pack to get Sales VP and also get VP for Fast track. So at the end of February you accumulate 3000 VP you will earn about $1.00. The point is that the 3000 VP you accumulated in February will earn your commissions on March 10 but you will not be paid every month unless you repeat the same actions to accumulate more points.
So on March 1 Your VP Will reset to 0 and then you must work from the to do list to accumulate more VersaPoints.

The reason for doing this is to motivate affiliates to be active and log in everyday not just to get points but to really take the time to slowly educate themselves on how to start their own business. It is important to point out the fact that accumulating Versapoints for just one or two months and then never coming back is not going to bring success. The Monthly Versapoints will not provide them ongoing income if they are not committed seriously to work. This business is not about free money it is about Commitment, Dedication, Patience,Perseverence and importantly Teamwork.

You simply tell them the truth that each month everyones monthly VP total is reset to zero. This means every month you have to requalify for milestone achievements. Commissions are paid on the VP you earn from month to month. The cummulative total of VP are used to maintain power ranking only. Those VP will start to roll off after 180 days. This levels the playing field for all affiliates and encourages those affiliates who may think that they can't possibly achieve the higher VP totals due to lack of resources. The training VP don't roll off and again that only serves to maintain your power ranking after the first month.

Every month there are contest like VP Rank and Country Rank, and it would be impossible for a new member to rank on these leader boards if they were facing an affiliate who has been generating VP for 17 years and has millions of VP saved up. Since we all start back at Zero each month you are not facing years of investments, you arent facing the person who dumped $10,000 into their business 6 years ago for the rank, you are facing other affiliates who all started with zero VP this month.

Add in the fact that our rank is adjusted by our VP earned in a month and each month it is required to re-earn your rank and you can see exactly why these VP expire but think of it this way.

If you work really hard in a business and get promoted this month to manager for all that hard work it would be fair to you and fair to the company. If in month two you stop doing all that hard work and just rest on your prior accomplishments it would not be fair for the business to have to pay you for work you are not doing, so in a offline company I am betting by the end of month two you wouldn't be a manager any more.

Likewise with SFI if you do the work this month and make money, earn a leadership rank, get the perks and rewards, as well as the status it's fair to you and to SFI. But if you come in next month and do nothing, SFI can't be expected to pay you what you earned the month before so your rank goes away, you lose the perks, and you earn only what your effort is worth.

This is done for several reasons, beginning with the space required to "store" ALL of the information of VPs that we have all earned!!

It also creates a more level (fair) playing field for us all. Every one of us must requalify as EA, EA2, all the way up to whichever rank we attained last month. This keeps us all involved with OUR business, plus SFI and TripleClicks. If we did not, we would not be up to date on all the newest happenings, changes, improvements, etc.

When everyone's monthly VPs start over at zero, everyone has an equal opportunity to score well during the month, building their business as they go, which keeps all of us in business:))...

Let your team members know that:

1- This is a business venture. In every business there is a time frame set, IE; weekly, biweekly or monthly, to calculate all of their profits, loss, inventory etc. After all calculations are made, then the money goes out to where it needs to and the business makes a new plan to improve on the next rotation.

For us in SFI, it is the same basic principle. We work on our business. SFI does the calculations. SFI pays out the commissions. Then, afterwards, we set our goals to achieve for the next month.

2- Just like in any business, the time period resets to better calculate the new plan implementations, loss inventory, loss EE's etc.

The same goes for us in SFI. The Versa Points are reset for the same reasons a business resets their pay period. Team members that were not active may become active. Maybe they were active then became inactive. Team members may also cancel/create new purchased items from TripleClicks.

All in all, there are a lot of reasons that could be explained. They reset to give all of us a level playing field. To set goals and do everything we need to to reach these goals.

As well as, if SFI left the VP's and did not reset them; it would be very difficult to track one's progress. Team Members that become inactive would reap rewards for actions they did not accomplish the next month.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

If you work for a company that pays you commission, they will have a cut-off date for sales so that they can calculate your commissions and add up what they need to pay you. Once the check is written, you don't get paid anymore from those sales. The sales numbers start over for the next pay period so you are back to zero sales.

This is the same concept with versa points. Versa points are used so SFI can calculate your commissions. Once they close the month and figure out how much to pay you, those versa points are no longer needed. Your versa points reset to zero so they can start a new month for your commissions.

VersaPoints resets monthly! But why? Why not let it continue to accumulate without resetting?
The following are my view:
1) It is like moving on from one class level to another.
If we remain in the same class, say class one all through our school days, how would it look like? The motivation in learning comes from starting another level at the set time. In SFI, if VPs do not reset, the motivation would be gone.
2) We work our SFI monthly because VP resets. Today, we have a lot of inactive affiliates, but there would have been more if VP does not reset.
3) There is much we learn as we work to qualify monthly. Some of us are becoming better online entrepreneur because of our daily visit to our home page to build up our VPs to qualify.
4) If VP does not reset, there would be little or no money available to pay out at the pay day. The success of the whole system depends on this.
5) Resetting VP makes us feel good when we are able to grab enough to qualify to earn in dollars, a badge and sometimes just an entry in Daily grand.
6) VP reset makes a difference between the real SFIers and those that just come to peep around.
7) VP reset awaken us to work hard and yet smart as we even do some calculations!

Each month commission is paid out to affiliates who are EA2 and above, a check is issued or money deposited. The VersaPoints(VP) that we acquire during the month are used to calculate this commission and pay us.

On the first day of the next month we begin earning again. We require a new set of VersaPoints to calculate our commission for a new check at the end of that month.

The VP's are therefore reset to '0' because your commission is set to '0' once paid.

The VP's don't disappear altogether, they are added to your VersaPoints ledger.

Hi Bamidele

You have had lots of great answers on this question, about
- how the monthly TC Executive Pool is shared based on VPs collected individually in the last month
- how your monthly activity determines your rank
etc.

However, I would just like to add an aspect I have not seen mentioned yet.

Because VPs are reset each month, everyone has an equal opportunity to earn from the TC Executive Pool, whether they have been with SFI for many years or just begun. Whilst it is true that the long-standing TLs will build their VPs quicker each month because they earn Matching VPs from their downline, if the VPs did not reset to zero, these TLs would have just so many VPs accrued, that the TCEP would be so diluted it would be impossible for a new affiliate to earn anything of value from it. So the answer is to build your team so you can benefit from the Matching VPs each future month.

I hope this helps you explain.
