Training and supporting them are two different things. You should continue supporting, and except support from your downline member. Send them training where you think it might help them, and ask them to train you on what is working for them.This is collaboration.

Collaboration means that you two are working together for the good of both of you as partners instead of sponsor and downline. Both of you have the same goals in SFI, and just become one of you is progressing faster than the

If you are lucky enough to sponsor affiliates that advance faster than you do, you absolutely support them and train them. You want to develop a strong relationship with this affiliate. You can work together and build a much stronger business. Here are some things I would do with an individual who is advancing faster than me.

1. Communicate 1-on-1 at least once a week by phone or Skype if possible
2. Learn from each other.
3. Create an advertising strategy together
4.

The most important rule of our work is work.

 Only if we work we can get results. In the end it does not matter that much how good you are or capable in certain areas of your work.

 No matter if you have the necessary tools. It does not matter if you do not do things the right way. If you continue to work, in time you will become more skilled. E 'inevitable

.And Even if your downline grow quickly, and your PSA will reach its goals in a short time, you will have

Of course u should continue train and support them no matter if they advance faster than you.

The sponsor is in SFI for supporting his PSAs and teaching him/her,there is no garanty that they will keep their Team Leader status forever,most of the affiliates become EA2 and then stop working and then is your PSA in trouble and needs your helping hand

A teacher, as I am, always looks forward to his or her students to do better than themselves! So never feel badly when the student or in this case, affiliate outshines you. That is to be expected! Keep the training going, Keep reading new books which can give you another perspective on business so that you can suggest it to your downline or upline remember business always needs an out of the box perspective so that you can put it into trial and if it becomes error it is a learning curve. If it is

Yes - Absolutely

By all means continue to support and encourage them. The fact that they have advanced faster than you must mean that you are a darn good sponsor - you are awesome!

Your relationship with your affiliates will naturally change and this will depend to a large extent on the experience and knowledge of your affiliates. If they are relatively new to SFI, I suspect they will still need training in some aspects of the business, and this is where you come in. Continue

If your PSA is growing faster than you are it's a good chance that they already know as much as you do about SFI.

I would put less emphasis on "train", and more on "support". Just let your PSA know that you are there if needed, and just continually recognize their success and cheer them on!

The other thing you could do is to reassign affiliates to them that have shown some effort, but are no longer responding to you, or that are in their country.

Remember,

If persons you sponsor in SFI advance faster than you do, it may be because they are more committed to SFI than you. This commitment may be financial for instance. I.e, perhaps they do more purchases from the tripleclicks store, spend more time playing games, etc.

In the end, my advice is encourage him to do more. You may be EA2 while he's already an STL, but that's good cos in the end, you are still his sponsor meaning you make commissions off his sales and purchases. His success is

Hi Ovidio

First, I need to say you’re very lucky!

It is great to see a member jumping in and participating.

Now, let’s talk about your question!

My answer is absolutely! Why not, it’s a good thing for you if you got a member like that.

You probably don’t need to train him/her for basic stuffs but it’s always good to share good point about everything you know with him.

I’m sure he/she got some good point to show you and

Absolutely! You should also be learning from those affiliates, for then you become a mastermind group.

As a team, you will accomplish so much more here at SFI and beyond. Remember "The Plan" (https://www.sfimg.com/the_plan) - you have to have five Platinum Team Leaders for you to advance to Diamond Team Leader.

Let them advance and show the rest of your team how to do the same!
