Good morning! Bamidele,

My simple explanation would be to use a job that uses a time clock/time card, where you are required to punch in/out.

At the end of the week, the manager replaces the old with new ones. He then reviews and totals the hours and forwards them to the Payroll dept.

So you may consider the Versa Points the same as the amount of hours worked and completed for the week. Your commission is calculated on a weekly basis.

Some companies pay weekly, some pay by-weekly. SFI pays commission monthly.

Much success to you!

Hi Bamidele

It’s a important question for everone to understand and not get surprized when at the beginning of each month your score board shows zero Versa Points. First of we must understand why we score versa points?

We score versa points each month to get our commissions, benefits and bonuses. If we need these perks every month, then we have to score Versa Points each and every month. You need to score. Moreover, if there is no requirement to score Versa Points, no affiliate would like to work.

We get the bonuses depending upon our rank as follows:

10 TCredits if you're an EA2
12 TCredits if you're a Bronze Team Leader
14 TCredits if you're a Silver Team Leader
16 TCredits if you're a Gold Team Leader
20 TCredits if you're a Platinum Team Leader
24 TCredits if you're a Diamond Team Leader

Requirements to stay as EA2, BTL, STL, GTL, PTL & Diamond are as follows:

A BTL needs to score 3000-3999 Versa Points
An STL need to score 4000-4999 Versa Points.
A Gold Team Leader should have 5000-5999 Versa Points.
A Platinum Team Leader need to score 6000 or more (1500 min/3500max0 as sale Versa points.
These Versa points get reset to zero at the beginning of each month & we need to work and earn them again.

Hope it helps.
Cheers!!!

SFI is set up to motivate and inspire to success. We draw our commissions once a month. Even those who work at the factory get's set back to zero. Think about it, when you got paid, did they pay you for the previous pay period too? No, you got paid for the most recent pay period.

We get our commissions based on the pay period (the month). The new month starts a new pay period. In order to calculate how much you have EARNED, the month starts with zero. Why should you get paid over and over for June when the month is now April?

Starting fresh each pay period is what ALL businesses do, realize it or not.

This a good question. I wondered about that myself when I was a new affiliate back in 2012.

At that time we kept our Versa Points total forever and didn't have to lose some after 6 months.

Versa Points are not something that you collect to earn more money or even prestige. They are to measure your activity on a monthly basis to work out your commissions check or pay-out.

If you have a standing order of 1500 VP per month or more you will ensure your EA2 status so that you will receive commissions. As you sponsor and help PSAs, CSAs, ECAs, TripleClicks affiliates etc. on your team, this is how you will bring in more commissions. It's not only your own VP, but the VP and commissions each month of the whole team you are leading and helping. It's the activity of everyone on your team who are EA2 and above, CSAs, ECAs and TripleClicks affiliates.

There are many other ways to earn income but this not an answer to the question. Let me just comment that income is more important than earning Badges and Versa Points.

Dear Sir,
In addition to sea of answers you received, I wanted to add this:

Members of your team should understand that they work for company just like any other. We are employees BUT without boss, alarm clock, office and formal dressing code. Just like in any other company - salary is to be earned, in our case, luckily - by multiple means and in various ways, MONTHLY.

Otherwise, our titles could be earned once, and we could just do nothing - they will understand that nobody pays anyone to do practically nothing. But I must stress this: someone who wasn't qualified for EA in one month can transfer VPs in next month within 7 days! You shouldn't forget to inform your team about that.

Another cause is fairness - imagine how many points would have someone who is 3, 4 or more years or months in the business - how could anyone of fresh members compete with them?
That is also the answer to other question you'll likely to be asked - why VP disappear after 180 days. Be prepared for that, although it's clearly written on our Home pages.

So - in short, main thing is:
We receive monthly salary, so we must earn it monthly.
I am happy because I work for real corporate company, from home - that's main beauty of this job. I think when your team members understand that, everything will be more clear.

All the best to you and your team!

The monthly VersaPoint totals are used to determine your activity levels and your rank for that month, as well as all the various rewards that you have earned with that rank. The monthly totals reset every month so you can continue to achieve those goals.

It's only your monthly totals that reset, though--the points you earn remain in your Power Ranking for six full months, and that's used to determine your ranking within SFI.

Hi,good day to you!

Every single VersaPoints (action/sales) that we accumulate during the whole month period, requires payment by the company.Therefore all of this needs to be reset to zero because it is already been paid. By doing this the company insures us that we will start all over again, no matter what rank you are or how long you been in this business..in simple term. No work... No pay! More points, More money in your pocket!

Hope it will help you sir!

Hi, Bamidele,
Great Question!

First & foremost, for all of us who are existing SFI Affiliates, setting VersaPoints to zero at the beginning of each month, is a conscious effort to enable us monitor our past performances and be gingered to do much better in the new month. We really need to set present goals/targets to achieve in the new month.
You see, there are five (5) Golden Rules when it comes to goal-setting; and these are:--
1. That we set goals that motivate us. When an individual sets goals for himself or herself, it is important that those goals actually motivate him/her, are value-driven and highly important to achieving overall success.
2. That we set SMART goals. ... (S.M.A.R.T. here is a mnemonic acronym that guides us in our goal-settings. So, S.M.A.R.T means: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant/Realistic and Time-bound). For us to succeed, all our goals must meet these five (5) criteria!!
3. That we set these goals in writing. ... … (Pls. for constant reminders to perform, you should try to have your goals written out in a handy paper on your desk at home; and get a copy of this paper to carry with you anywhere you go. Of course, in these ‘technological’ days, you can have these goals set out in your laptop, iPad, Notebook, etc. & carry it along with you everywehre).
4. That we make specific action plans to achieve these goals. ... and
5. That we stick with the achievement of the goals!

Next, we need to bring all these into the fore to our new Downlines and explain to them that these are the basic issues for achieving overall success, not only with SFI business, but also with any other business for that matter.

Hope this helps!!

As we all knew, we are together here in SFI to learn, how to create an Income and setting up business, from home.

All activities and programs in SFI is a training format for all to practise and follow, duplicating act will only helps to form us as a Strong Foundation Internationally SFI.

By treating this business as our real business, we will soon understand the reason why, we must have something or value to practise every month, starting back from point 'Zero'

Understanding a Real Business, there is a payment to be made, and mostly it is in a really big amount. Example; store rent, services fee, transportation, ordering new products, workers pay and many more.

Much said, applying it into our training, we need to put in a value to be practise by all, as per in a Real Business.

So how do you think about a Point, an activity point or a reward point, or shall we say a point that can reverse or converse... hmm...
I can hear you...
I agree with SFI to name this point, ~VersaPoints~

Remember, this is a Real Business.
Every month, every one of us will need to start from a starting point position, or shall I say, Back to Square One..

New affiliates will learn better following how their sponsors and upline deals with this every month without fail, and in achieving more heights.

And the fee to an EA is just 1500vp in this training,
Our Real Home Business.

The points/ Versa points are the ones by earning which your ranking is decided ( on par with other parameters of course). Our career in SFI starts with acquiring Versa points. Up to a level i.e, Exev.Affiliate (1500 V.pts), it is not that difficult to secure them. But above the cadre of E.A1 and EA2, it is quite a difficult task to get them. Moreover maintaining every month at a minimum of E.A2 is a bit difficult. Even more difficult is to start from square one every month. Because, at the end of month however many points you would acquire, the next month you have to start your score on a clean slate. Appearing to be a bit tedious, there is a valid point in doing so. That is the point of discussion here.
We are aware that every month for the versa points we secure and the points we secure through Executive pool, the commissions, etc., are all calculated basing on the versa points we gather.We are also aware that versa points are two types:
a) Sales versa points which we get through selling the products of Tripleclicks (direct) or through indirect sales ( through our Affiliates) and
b) Action Versa points that we get by performing certain actions, like the actions we do daily in the Affiliate Center (To-Do list) etc., By whatever means we secure them all these points are taken into consideration to calculate our earnings. And, for all the earnings we get in a month, the amounts are settled by the subsequent month 10th.Do not you think when once we are paid for what we have done and/or for what we are eligible and entitled by next month 10th., it is not correct for retaining on the score board? That is the very reason why the points once gotten and reckoned for payment are removed from the score board and we start afresh next month. I am not stopping here with the deletion. But, these points though are deleted for count for current calculation, they are retained for the cumulative score.. In other words, the points are added to our previous months total score. They are the points in effect we have secured. This is the main reason.
When once we start from point 1 next month, it is not only you and me, but all affiliates irrespective of their rank, designation/cadre. Thus equal opportunity is afforded to all members in SFI to work to their utmost capacity to secure as many points as possible...
Of course the points allotted to each action whether it be to-do list or otherwise very much depends upon the nature of item to be done having a bearing on the SFI business. It is well to remember that for becoming a Fast Track we have to get minimum of 500 versa points, in order to be conferred E.A.1 or E.A2 it is 1500 points this score is vital because unless as said above we maintain a minimum of 1500 points we will not be eligible to earn commissions etc., Similarly , we have to maintain 3000 score each month if we have to maintain Leadership position. Why all these are being reiterated? It is because every month we have to procure the points as stated above to sustain the respective designations.
