The number of affiliates that you need to sponsor each month will vary based on the opinions of many, so no set answer is either right or wrong. It's the quality of affiliates who will make commitments and not the quantity that is more important than anything else. The most common goal is to find your 1st serious 5 people who will actually get active, work, move up to EA status and maintain it each month. In my opinion, you should at least sponsor 5 to 10 Affiliates a month, a great indicator to strive for.You will never know who will actually work the SFI business and move forward, but as long as you constantly and persistently add new affiliates, it would be the key to helping you build a successful business. This process should be ongoing and never ending.

The next step would be to lay out your blueprint, step by step and help those 5 serious people to reach the same goals. We usually refer to them as the Executive Team. Spend all your valuable time coaching , coordinating ,working and building this team to do the same as you By the yard it is hard , but by the inch it is a cinch, if you get them one by one. In the end , results are what you are looking for. Your Team should then understand the Power of Duplication and how it really works.........

Example....
You

Level 1 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th

The first level should be your top 5 people who are EA2 qualified each month. Notice what happens when your Executive Team duplicates what you did and it continues down for 7 levels.

Level 2 5 5 5 5 5
Level 3 25 25 25 25 25
Level 4 125 125 125 125 125
Level 5 625 625 625 625 625
Level 6 3,125 3,125 3,125 3,125 3,125
Level 7 15,625 15,625 15,625 15,625 15,625

Note: You would have 97.655 serious Affiliates in your downline and continuous growth every month .

Hope that this helps....

Building a business is not about quantity but quality. You only need a handful of active affiliates in your first generation in order to have a large and steady income.

SFI recommends building a team of 5 active affiliates in your first generation and then just from these people alone your team will grow into thousands of affiliates up to 12 generations deep.

When you advertise you are playing a numbers game which means that you have to experiment in order to know how many people you need to advertise to in order to get one active affiliate. An example would be to advertise to 10-50 people to see if you get 1 active affiliate so if this works out then double your efforts to 100 people to see if you get 10 active affiliates and so on.

So I am saying that a small fire produces little heat so if you want more heat light a bigger fire.

That is if you want to get just 5 or 10 active affiliates advertise to about 50 or 100 people at a time until you find your go getters but don't stop there because you have to grow your team.

You must then duplicate your 1st generation so that they also Sponsor affiliates so then you must advertise to about 500 or more people to get about 50 or if you get lucky 100 active affiliates to distribute to your first generation and then you teach them to do the same so that you will have about 3 levels or generation so do you see a pattern? It is something like a family tree or genealogy.

So in order to build a handful in your first generation Sponsor small amounts at a time and then you grow your advertising gradually into larger amounts so that you can distribute to your first generation.

The moral of this is to advertise to a few hundreds or thousands at a time in order to get the diamonds that you need to succeed.

Hello Alvin

I think if one can sponsor 2 affiliates a day i.e. 60 affiliates a month, it should be enough, provided you find at least 2-3 active affiliates each month. But experience has shown otherwise.

Out of 30 if one affiliate is active and continues to be EA, consider yourself lucky. After all we need only 5 good quality affiliates who are capable of becoming leaders.

But it does not limit us there. We can sponsor as many affiliates as we can due to the fact that even the active affiliates are likely to get dropped at any moment, so we need to replenish their empty space as and when they drop down.

So, in stead of having 5 active members, try to maintain your downline list at 10 at least. Although the task is not easy but can be achieved with S-Builder and PSAs to go purchases.

So every month, it will depend how many more affiliates you need considering the number of active affiliates in your team. We just can’t say for sure how many would be required in each month.
Hope it helps

Have a good day !!

The short answer – as many as you are able to.

I know the system says you only need 5 committed affiliates, but why limit yourself! Go get as many affiliates as you are prepared to sponsor.
I say ‘prepared’ because there is no point in recruiting people if you don’t look after them and sponsor them well. If you don’t, the bulk of them will soon become inactive or opt out and even worse could ruin the reputation of SFI.

Even the ‘committed’ affiliates for all sorts of reasons do drop off, leave or become inactive, so keep on recruiting and sponsoring.

This should always be an ongoing activity if you are to build a successful business. Don't limit yourself.

Happy sponsoring.

This question is a little obscure. You could sponsor 5 and they are all good workers or you could sponsor 105 and none work. It’s the luck of the draw really.

I think the best way to go is to get yourself up to team leader status and in this case you receive free second home CSAs each month. After a while you will receive good workers amongst these CSAs and you earn 15% from their activities.

It is also beneficial to purchase a regular amount of PSAs. I have found PSAs to go as the best option. Now if you purchase 1 unit of SBuilder (which in itself will give you a few PSAs each month)you are then able to buy PSAs TO GO Special Offer. Buy some of these regularly…perhaps each payday or each week. Your team will grow beneath you quite quickly and regular additions to your downline will start to bring you in a few workers….just remember you only need 5 good workers to be a success.

Alvin,

The company says to get 5 active affiliates and then teach them to get 5 active affiliates. This is called Duplication. To do this you need to be sponsoring new affiliates each month. The statistics on new signups are truly depressing. Less than 1 out of every 100 will become an active affiliates. Your results may be better or worse than this. In the end, however that law of averages will win out. Using that logic, if you want 5 per month, you need 500 raw recruits a month. You can get them by advertising or by purchasing recruits from one of the vendors at TripleClicks.

Set a Goal and work to achieve it. Each EA2 will earn you about $8 in Direct Commissions. So each one will bring your business closer to profitability. I have budgeted for two years of 50 PSA a month, then to re-evaluate. I opt to purchase rather than spend a lot of time advertising. That is me. You will have to make your own decisions. I am finding the Law of Averages to be all too true.

The best answer to this question is to sponsor as many people as possible.

You really only need 5 personally sponsored affiliates to become Platinum or Diamond Team Leader to be very successful and to become a Diamond Team Leader yourself.

The problem is that you need to sponsor many to find 5 that will be active for long enough to become Platinum Team Leaders.

If 1 to 3 present of the people you sponsor is active, your will need to sponsor between 200 and 500 people personally.

The faster you can sponsor active people, the faster you can grow your business and income. If you have more than 5 active people, you can allocate them to your most active PSA's and help them to have 5 active people each. This will then duplicate, building your business faster.

So, the answer to the question is: Sponsor as many as possible per month!

How many affiliates do I need to sponsor each month to build a successful business?

This is a tricky question.

Only because, what one would call a Successful Business, may not be what someone else would call a Successful Business.

What would you say is a successful business?

Earning $500 a month? Earning $1,000 a month? Earning $10,000 a month?

Besides what SFI suggests to build a successful business, which you can find in the SFI Basics https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics3Steps

1. Become an Executive Affiliate (EA)

2. Recruit five affiliates

3. Teach your five affiliates to do the same

Depending upon "How" successful you want to become, will depend upon "How" big you want to build up a successful business.

The more you sponsor, then the more successful you will become, so if you keep on sponsoring, then the "Sky is the Limit", just don't stop sponsoring.

Set your goals (a financial limit), to what you would call a "Successful Business", keep going until you can reach that goal.

Then, and only then, will you have what you call a, Successful Business.

Aim High & Dream Big!

SFI is a number game.You need unlimited number of affiliates(PSAs and CSAs). Get at least 5 active PSAs to give me a good and stable foundation to success. Both PSAs and CSAs will give me a good source of income from their sales and a bigger share in the Executive Pools(matching Points) up to 12th generations.
However in spite of hundreds of affiliates, majority are inactive. So if I can have one or two actives EAs/TLs, to start with, I can consider it a way to successful business. This number gradually grows as new EAs will emerge from their slumber to become EA2s/TLs. In the near future I can have 5 TLs who will be bronze to diamond.
You can identify potential candidates through the 'Movers' . Sponsor these candidates and guide them to achieve their goals. To get unlimited number of affiliates, you need to subscribe to S-Builder, PSA TO Go, biddings, Daily Grand, EZ games, recruiting, and sponsoring through SFI gateways and through the social media.(advertising).

There are no hard and fast rules as to how many affiliates you need to sponsor each month. You need to work out something within your budget and time availability. You also need to set some reasonable goals as to quantity and quality of PSAs sponsored bearing in mind this is a numbers game.

If you can get 5 active PSAs among the pool who have been taught how to duplicate, that would be a reasonable figure during your first year. How many affiliates you need to sponsor each month to get 5 active PSAs, that’s anybody’s guess. These 5 active PSAs will help you maintain your BTL rank during your first year.

Sponsoring should be a continuous effort to keep building a team and if you have a steady committed team of 25 PSAs who keeps duplicating your efforts then you will be earning a steady income stream.
