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.

If you want to be successful in your business, you should sponsor as many affiliates as possible, because so many of them do not make any effort to work. Others start out well, but they do not continue to stay the course, for various reasons.

Because you really cannot know who will be motivated or who will not do anything or just be a complainer, it is wise to, "load your wagon." It's like planting seeds. You don't know which kinds will grow and continue to harvest and which ones will fail to grow. You don't know how the weather will affect them. All you know is that you must keep planting seeds and making sure they are watered and cared for. Eventually you will have a plentiful harvest.

So do not try to look at numbers and question how many affiliates you should sponsor. Just go out there and do it! Encourage them and teach them to do the same. A harvest is sure!

How many affiliates? Actually, if you can have more recruits/sign ups each month the better. It will make you have higher percentage of having a good number of serious affiliates in your team. Yes having unlimited sign ups every month will increase your chances of having affiliates that will duplicate what you're doing in building your business.

But if I may to choose, I would concentrate recruiting those people that I know that will fit and will work the SFI path to success. Begin it with your close relatives and friends in your locality. If you can have five of them that will commit to work & build also their own business, its a good start than having many sign ups that we will not be sure of.

Yours is a very interesting question and somewhat difficult to answer. Nevertheless I think the answer to this questions is simply it depends.
What does it depend on?
It depends on the quality of the affiliates you sponsor.
Those of us who have been affiliates for 3 months or more know that you can sponsor hundreds of affiliates monthly some do so on a daily or weekly basis but the turn over is rapid.
The rapid turnover is based on the interest of the sponsored affiliate; what they are looking for.
Many affiliates are looking for a quick fix and therefore they sign up take a look around and exit after weeks, days, or even months of consistent activities.
However, as stated in the SFI teaching resource, you need only to sponsor 5 active affiliates to have a successful business.
Active affiliates are those who follow the basics as outlined by SFI consistently.
They read, learn, log-in daily, complete daily activities, invest time, advertise and share all that SFI have to offer using varied social medium. They are patient, and they participate in the Forum, helping others understand the business. In a nut shell they are goal oriented, patient and persistent.
If you are able to sponsor 5 persons with the listed qualities then you will have sufficient person to build a successful business. If you sponsor r persons of this quality each month you definitely will experience long term success.

Hi Alvin,

Thank you for asking a valid question that comes in the mind of most new affiliate.

Do you wont to know how many PSAs you sponsor every month or how many of them should be EAs every month so that a successful business can be built?

Well there is no limit set up by SFI on this, either upper or the lower. Why ? because your SFI business is your own business. You are the Boss to decide.

The income tab shows you the (estimated)income calculator. You must have tried it. So one may be having a clear idea about how much income he/she wants to generate through sponsoring . Based on this figure one can have a general idea of how many affiliate one needs to sponsor to build a successful business.

If we sponsor 5 EAs every month that will lead to a strong basic foundation for the future business. These 5 should be EAs every month and they should duplicate this formula for their own business.

If you through past forum posts or Ask sc question answers , you will find people recommending ONLY one EA per month is also sufficient to build a business.

So number of affiliates to sponsor may vary from person to person as the business expectations from own business will very from sponsor to sponsor.

According to me, key point here is how many sponsored affiliates you can provide personal attention and help them to build their business?

Some say it is a number's game. Go on sponsoring hundreds of affiliates a day. But for your success it is important that they retain EA every month in SFI.

Remember SUCCESS has to be defined by You,and you should not build your business by bench-marking SUCCESS achieved by other affiliates .

And have you given a thought that one need not sponsor any PSA for building SFI business at all? One can promote TC products and is entitled to earn as much commissions he/she wants to earn . There is practically no limit.

Hope you did not expect an exact figure as an answer to your question but have got the a new direction to think and act.

Look forward to hearing from you about your success story through inspiration post in forum.

Sponsoring Affiliates into SFI is one of the basic actions every Affiliates should carry out continuously. But when it comes to the number, how many; then there is no hard and fast rule.

To start with, the number of Affiliates you sponsor every month do not necessarily translate to success. There are instances where people have a team of 500 PSAs or more with none of them being active. Experience have showed that, averagely between 1 to 10% of Affiliates are active at any point in time.

Therefore, your goal primarily is to sponsor active Affiliates. While you may not ordinarily determine beforehand whether an Affiliate would be active or not, people by monitoring and evaluation have discovered they get more active Affiliates from some particular sources than others.

You need to optimize every source where your EA or EA2 conversions is high; that is you sponsor more motivated Affiliates from such sources than tire-kickers that abound in some other sources. Spend more time and resources on those sites so that you eventually build active downline guaranteeing success.

However, you cannot completely dissociate quantity from quality. The more Affiliates you Sponsor, the greater your chances of getting a couple of ones that would make it to EA and thereafter EA2 and upwards.

Remember, according to the PLAN in SFI, you need 5 Active Affiliates in your first line to break even in this business. It is now left to you after getting them to either concentrate on completely supporting these 5 or to support them while you look for more first line active Affiliates.

Actually, duplication should be your goal. You should not just be the only one sponsoring Affiliates, but the entire team. You should always try to help your downline also by organizing a COOP.

Therefore, sponsor, sponsor and sponsor; don't ever limit yourself until you develop your team from first line to maximum 12 levels. Ensure you distribute the recruits for optimal strengthening of your entire team.

Best of luck!

We don't believe anyone can truthfully answer your question because the number can vary with each affiliate and the amount of time and the effectiveness of each sponsor.

One person may have an extremely effective training method and "converts" 80% of his sign-ups into active team members. The next person could sign up 1000 "tire kickers" and not get a single active team member no matter what he does to help them understand the opportunity they actually signed up for.

So, the correct answer is all you can do is sign them up, work with them the best way you can, support them, and always be ready to answer their questions, congratulate them on a job well done, and finally feel happy you ACTUALLY HELPED SOMEONE HAVE A BETTER LIFE.

I think the question is not how many you need to sponsor, it is how many active affiliates you need to sponsor.

I got 12 new affiliates last month. 9 of them signed up and without doing one single thing and earning 0 VP they just never came back. 3 of them signed up, earned 150 VP immediately and they were gone. So how many active affiliates did I get last month? 0

I send a welcome e-card the moment I receive notification that I have a new affiliate. Then I send a special welcome letter to introduce myself, give them my e-mail address and to give them a few start up tips. Still they just do not react.

Until we figure out how to get every sign up to be active I would say you have to sponsor as many as you can. As for myself - if I have 5 active affiliates and I know they won't quit I will support them like kings and queens until they are diamond leaders. At that point I will decide if I am gong to retire or am I going to start with 5 new affiliates. (nice to dream, isn't it?)

Hi Alvin!
SFI doesn't limit you. They say "Sky is the limit" and "Do something to grow your business every day".

Don't limit yourself. Sponsor as many people as you can. You will not create a successful business by thinking about it. You will create a successful business only by taking actions every day. Every day, no matter what, make sure you're doing sponsoring to further your business.

You must think big if you want to be successful. As our SFI slogan says, aim high and dream big! Small desire produces small results, just as a small fire produces little heat.

If your things goes well and you have too many PSAs to sponsor. You can reassign them to your dowlime. Reassigning is a powerful tool you can use to provide action, upgrade, and/or team-building incentives and rewards to affiliates in your downline.

I hope this will help you to build a strong and big team that will help you succeed.
Thank you.

Hello
I think better question is
"How many ACTIVE affiliates do I need sponsor each month to build successful business"

Because you can have 100 PSA monthly but point is are they active.
If they are not you have not benefit of them.
Recommendation is to have 5 active PSA that will work and bring new 5 PSA which would be your 2. 3. 4....generation.Then it is true success.For each of active PSA who have EA2 you have 100 VP and DC of their purchase.
But it rarely happens in practice, because the success is if we have at least one active PSA montly who will also lead one or more members ( I belive that this is the case of many us ) then we can hope that success is best seen in SCOREBOARD tab.
I hope I help you and many more new affiliate who are still confused about how this job work.
