No matter what stage you are in at building your business, you must ask specific questions of your upline to get the maximum support from them.

If you leave it to your sponsor or upline to guess what you need help with, he may choose a topic that you are well versed in. If you want the weekly letters to have more meat in them than what a beginner needs, then tell your sponsor what you want to read about. Ask the questions. That makes it much easier for an upline to write a letter and know that it is going to help someone. And then answer him back and give him some feedback on his advice.

A team leader does not want to appear pushy or bossy, but at the same time, he feels like an old mother hen, trying to tuck everyone back into the safety of the group. By replying to his contacts, you are focusing his wisdom on things you want to know.

It also helps to continue going forward earning VPs, using the TCredits he sends you, doing as he suggests, and asking more questions.

I suggest that you contact your Sponsor or Co-sponsor via an email or E-cards first.
If no response send it on up the line as they are available to help you too.
Go to your home page and click on the black My Acct tab and My Upline for their information.

Tell them what your problems are and ask for any solutions or ideas to get you going in the right direction.
They will provide you with all the support you need because they will benefit from your progress in SFI and all you need to do is ask.

Most sponsors monitor what you are doing and will send you a team mail or E-card providing you with a congratulations for a good job advancing in SFI. They will also provide good information to you that you can use to achieve your next level because they have been there.

Remember don't try to change the system just duplicate what your sponsor has done.
As as Sponsor you also want your people to follow what you have done using the duplication process.

I hope this will help....

You need to ask them a lot of questions. One of the things you must also know is that, your sponsor is the best person whom you have to look up to.

Ask them what is it that has made them successful in SFI and are where they are at the top. In reply, you will know what they did, and how they made it done. You in turn, follow these steps. Be serious minded. Take what you can afford and don't try to be like every one else. You must get to understand through what you'll learn from them, that it took a lot of hard work, time and investment to achieve it.

You should be determined and know that you are going to definitely encounter challenges no matter the availability of the resources you have. These are the things you have to maximize. They have to be your priority and focus.

You should know what actually you have invest your time or money on that will yield profit and show forth good results.

If you have a good upline team, they are suppose to know what to do. Every serious minded person will face their own business and head toward their success. SFI is not a place for you to spend time looking up to one upline member or the rest. You have to pave out your success out from here too.

Take out time and guide yourself for the greatness that awaits for you here.
Remain bless.

I suggest taking time to prepare a list of "needs" that you can identify that will ultimately stimulate growth for your SFI business.

Consider topics that you have no knowledge about or need assistance with - once you have identified your business needs then communicate these items with your up-line team. Ask your up-line team members where you may find solutions to your needs or even provide ideas that you may implement right away which will start to grow your SFI business.

Maximum support is only achieved if you share what you specifically are looking for that you will consider useful for you and your business. If you do not share what you are needing or looking for then you will receive communication from up-line members that may not be considered useful thus you continue to work alone in a business that is truly build on collaborative efforts of affiliates sharing ideas and strategies.

Be sure to regularly communicate with your up line about what you find useful and what you require more of and less of so that you do gain the maximum support.

Try thinking about what it is you'd like to see the affiliates in your own team do. What is it that your affiliates would do to make you sit up and take notice, and that would make you happy to support and reward them?

What is it that you look for when you study the VP Ledger of each of your affiliates?

Then be sure to do those same things to make your own sponsor and upline happy.

It is likely that your affiliates doing some or preferably all of the following things would make you happy:

your affiliates:

- complete all of their getting started actions quite quickly
- do all their LaunchPad lessons - but not just in two or three days
- log in at SFI every day
- do their daily and weekly tasks
- ask you to please give them the link to information they're struggling to find on their own
- ask questions in the forum
- give correct advice in the forum
- score a decent amount of sales VersaPoints
- play Eager Zebra games regularly
- get a decent amount of PSAs on their own
- achieve EA2 rank or higher in their second month
- maintain or improve upon their EA2 or higher rank in their third month
- carry out your instructions or follow the advice you give

Affiliates who do these things make their sponsor happy. Do for your sponsor and upline what you'd like your own affiliates to do for you.

-Ask questions and RESPOND them when they reach out to you. Not just in emails, but when advised, prudently and diligently consider what has been shared by them for you to act on and then act accordingly.

For instance, if your sponsor see's that there is a task on your VP Ledger that has not been completed for VP's and points this out to you, look into it and then act on it according to the instruction given by your sponsor.

When it is within your means, skillset, and ability to do so, you should ALWAYS seek to act on and complete whatever task/s your sponsor gives you and remember, almost whatever is good for you is also good for your sponsor and your team on the whole.

-STAY BUSY! Sign in everyday, complete your daily tasks for VP's (red tabs) and truly study the material provided by SFI on every page. These actions are not just for you to earn VP but also for you to be well acquainted with the program. You will need to be able to train your future AFF's, EA's, and TL's and this will NOT happen if you cannot give adequate support which can only come from experience and knowledge combined.

-GET INVOLVED! Make TC purchases, advertise, play games, answer questions, give words of encouragement and offer advice in the forum.

There really are so many things that can be done to make sure you are "gaining maximum support from your upline.

The sponsors are people who want to see actions. All the people prefer actions then just words. So, if you were in my team, I would of course congratulate you for being a part of it and would offer you my support. But if I don't receive reply or action from you, I won't go further to communicate with you. It wold be seen as irritation on my point of view. When people in my team don't ask me anything and don't reply on my messages, it's useless to reach them, because they already ignored me as a supporter.
You can gain maximum support from your upline only if you are active in your business and stay behind your words for action. Regular communication is a must. I communicate with my own upline one or twice a week through team mail or e-mail. This way we became friends. Of course sponsors and co-sponsor can not grow your own SFI business, but they can support you and share their own experience. The growing of your SFI business is your responsibility, upline just shows the way.The simple truth for growing the business is based on:
1. Regular communication with upline and downline
2. Work every day at least 1 hour for the business
3. Staying by the side of the team member when is really hard /showing concern and sincere care for the person by treating her/him as human being not a "bag with money"/

Hope this helps. I can say with all active people in my team we're great friends. This is the secret on our mutual inspiration.

Short Answer - The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Grease.

Medium Answer - The way to remain on your sponsor's radar is to stay on his/her mover's tab. You might also remain in contact with your upline by connecting with them in chat or by sending them periodic team mails. This answer really equates to the 'squeaky wheel' thing but many times people miss out on benefits/perks/rewards simply because they didn't ask for them.

Answer that Nobody Wants to Hear - There are sponsors that are complete duds. They are greedy and refuse to help the needy. You might have to learn only to rely on yourself. Don't allow the fact that your sponsor is worthless to you let any negativity creep into your perspective. Make a positive use of their negative influence by thinking of them as an EXCELLENT example of what you do NOT want to be.

Turnabout is Fair Play Answer - Lead your leader by your superb example. Think of those things you would like your sponsor to do for you, then do exactly that for your affiliates. Keep your sponsor advised as to what you're doing for your troops and perhaps that will shame him/her into doing more for you too.

Ultimate Answer - When you point one finger you should notice that the other three are pointing back at you. Having a supportive sponsor is (or would be) nice but the one person you will always get the strongest support from is currently reading this line. I have faith in you and you should have trust in yourself too. You can do it!

Hi Abdul,
I find your question very interesting because to be honest, I've never thought about what I should do to gain maximum support from my upline. So, its a challenging thought !

So, now thinking about it - I would suggest:
(presuming that my Upline is watching me on their systems...)...

Let my Upline see that I am a serious minded Affiliate, by

1.1. logging in daily, and following as many of the actions as I have time for.
1.2. investing in myself, by buying at least a S.O. for 1,500 VPs, so that I become and retain an EA2 status.
1.3. try as much as I can to at least 'do better' than my Sponsor, or Co-sponsor.
Keep checking on their 'badges' and seeing if I can 'duplicate' their actions.
1.4. ask my Sponsor and co-sponsor for help when I have a problem - or rather ask them where I can find it, if I fail to do so on my own initiative. (Seeing that there is so much information on SFI - in the ASK SC, or on the FORUM, it rarely becomes even necessary to ask my upline).
1.5. try my best to get involved with the GAMES, and the Auctions, and even try to introduce a few new local ECA's to Triple Clicks.
If I succeed in all this, my Upline will certainly notice their 'passive income' improving.. and will be only too pleased to be giving me their continued 'maximum support'.

I hope this helps you in your planning, and I wish you every success to get to the top,
and grow your SFI business like the 'money tree' on our cards!

Hello,

To gain maximum support from upline leaders,

1. You need to ensure that you maintain atleast EA2 status and with time TL. Here both your sponsor and co sponsor will be notified so I'm sure like you, they too want to grow so they will give you all necessary support.

2. You must concentrate on team building by recruiting members, ensuring that the active ones duplicate you, they too should maintain minimum EA2 status. Here your upline has benefit of matching VPS, so you'll get maximum support.

3. Sales... promote tripleclicks, here too they'll give you full support

4. Promote eager zebra games , encourage your team. You too actively participate, coz by chance when you win a share of zackpot, a share is given to you sponsor so you'll get max support.

5. Take part in price bender auctions.

6. Encourage your downline to duplicate you on above points beacause when you'll help them grow, you shall grow and your upline too grows.

Be very active in all the above and be sure to get all the support from upline . Wishing you great growth and success in SFI business.

regards
