Everyone learns differently so it will be important for a leader of a down-line team to consider different ways to share information that will help others to build their downline. The following may be of benefit to understand so that presentations or explanations about down-line recruitment are understood by several of your fellow team mates:

Learning preference:

1. Visual - likes to see a demonstration, a video or a picture of how it may be done

2. Auditory - likes to listen to an audio clip of a presentation of how recruitment growth may work

3. Verbal-linguistic - likes to learn from reading materials so can offer references from SFI website of articles, review Launch Pad lessons or even read posts on the Forum and Stream to learn how to build a down-line team

4. Physical - likes to do trial and error to see what works best for him or herself. Provide little direction but this type of learner will just take your suggestion then immediately try and see how it goes

5. Logical - likes the "why" of tasks or strategies for down-line growth so provide a little more constructive information as to why certain strategies will work or the why one approach is done in one manner and the other in a different manner

6. Social - likes to work in teams so may want to suggest connection with another fellow affiliate via Skype or offer your time through Skype to host brain storming sessions that promote social connection with you and others to learn how to build a down line team

7. Solitary - likes to work alone and use self-study for their learning how to do things. Provide some references for this learner to carry on with their efforts but be sure to give opportunity for he or she to connect with you to discuss any barriers that he or she may have to their down line growth.

It is apparent that as a leader you have the "know how" as you are now asking how to teach down line members to build their own teams so it is now up to you to share your "know how" to build down line teams to match the different learning styles of people. As you can see from my brief comments above - people are diverse so it is important to differentiate your explanation and teaching to meet the needs of all your down line learners.

Hello Olufolake, the best way to teach your down line to build their own downline is to
to go PRACTICAL with them. Teach them the following strategies:

A. Getting Started Help.

First thing is to teach them how to get their downlines to start and where to go.
Login at their SFI home page, click on the Hotspots menu, then click on VPLedger.

This is where they can quickly become an EA. How? They need to do all the things on the VPLedger.
Executive Affiliate (EA) requires 1500 VP. A successful completion of all tasks in the VPLedger
guarantees you EA status in the first month.

B. They should Advise on Getting New Member Pack (NMP).

Talk to your downlines on how to introduce the NMP to their downlines. How it is a timely decision if they join SFI now:
- They will get 50 Tcredits
- 200 MRP
- 10 Eager Zebra Express Tokens
- 30 FREE entries in the TC daily grand drawing.
- 5 FREE MRP upon purchase.
- Fast-Track Bonus Shares (For every 100 VP you earn, you’ll earn 10 additional bonus share of the Executive Pool for a lifetime )
- Exclusive Fast-Track Member badge for your home page
- His/her name and photo added to our Fast-Track Wall of Fame
- Exclusive Fast-Track Member Lapel Pin (after three months of Fast-Track qualification)
- Fast-Track Member certificate etc;
- Actual cost is $61.90, but as new TC member they can get it for just $20; saving $41.90.
- Let them know they can take advantage of the offer its just for 10 days after joining SFI.

C. Introduce them to Business Building Ventures.

- Getting S-Builder as a co-op, they can reduce advertising cost for their business.
- Place S-Builder on standing order (S.O) so they can ensure a spot on the co-op each month.
- Their team success is their success,they should invite all their team members to be part of your S-Builder co-op.
- Give reasonable reward to their affiliates for milestone achievements using S-Builder co-op PSA assignment:
1) They maintain the rank of EA for 3 months and get 2 PSAs extra.
2) They raise a team leader for 3 months and get 2 PSAs extra for each team leader.
3) They become a team leader themselves for 3 months and get 5 PSAs etc
- Lastly, engage the use of sound keycodes in dispersing co-op sign-ups to your affiliate,
misplacement of keycode will bring a lot of problems later.

D. Using SFI Affiliate Manager Tool.
1. SFI is a type of business you need support from people who are ahead of you, if you must succeed.
As a result you are to provide support essentially in all areas of SFI business to your new downlines.

2. Communication details: email, phone numbers etc are available on the contact tab.
As sponsor they will have to communicate with their PSAs just signed-in; so they can give them
immediate information and welcome them into the business.

3. SFI made provision for standard checklist of what you should do to assist your PSAs. Some of this include:
- Contact, introduced, and briefly described their background, goals etc.
- They should add their PSAs to their newsletter mailing list
- Offered general assistance to their PSAs on setting up his business, answering questions, providing direction, etc.
- Provide your contact information (e-mail, phone number, IM address, Skype number, etc.

4. Monitor the activities of your PSAs.
Follow-up on the progress of your PSAs and contact them with appropriate feed backs:
- Alway appreciate the effort of each of your team members e.g for being consistent every month;
- Congratulates anyone of them that WINs in any contest e.g E365, Daily Grand, T-Time, Knock Out Trivia etc.
- Always look at your PSAs and CSAs VPLedger page and tell them what they can do to improve themselves;
- Emphasize always on the use of training materials at the SFi homepage for better understanding of the business.

5. Encourage your PSAs to always communicate with you and other upline leaders incase of difficulties:
Mostly, many PSAs do not know who to talk to their uplines when they join SFI newly.

E. They should Apply Sound Business Strategies.

1. Reassign consistent and always active PSAs to help build their team.
2. Check the number of EA PSAs you have before reassignment, if few consider not to reassign.
3. Since an affiliate can be reassigned only once, be convinced of your action; so you don't lose your benefits.
4. Use the WIN-WIN approach; For every affiliate you sponsor this month, I'll match it.
5. Another strategy is to use the reassignment tool as an incentive for your PSAs to achieve success.
6. Organize Team Leaders and put EAs under them. Develop Team Leaders who will be making profit, and therefore tend to remain active.
7. Compensation plan for your PSAs. If they sponsor their first affiliate you reward them with two extra for example.
8. Reward every milestone achieved by your PSAs. e.g become Team Leader, and get two PSAs FREE etc.

F. Special Advisory Role.

1. Use the movers tab to help you play direct advisory role on your most active affiliates.
2. It is a veritable tool that takes the problem of page loading off you; use it to your advantage.
3. Use the tab to identify specific view or category of affiliates for critical performance appraisal e.g newest sign ups, currently online etc.
4. Use the tab to access each affiliates details like country and power rank, reassign affilaite from the same country for language coherence.
5. Through the movers tab you can access the VPledger of any active affiliate, and suggest what he/she can do to improve.
6. Know who is active and inactive,use the tab to identify who to motivate for greater effort.
7. Based on VP earned, some of your affiliates may need encouragement; use the movers tab to find out and contact them.
8. Monitor the status of each of your affiliate for appraisal of their performance.
9. It brings into view affiliates that has been off the scene for a long time, so ensure you contact him/her and give word of encouragement.

G. Continuous Communication.

1. Sending supportive emails is essential.
2. Carefully select your words to be in form of advice rather than criticizing.
3. Use inclusive words like "we", "our", "all of us" etc. in your email.
4. Appreciate the affiliate's contribution before mentioning what he or she should improve upon (if any).
5. Always share your past experiences in related or similar situation and how you survived it.
6. If using email; let your mail content be formal instead of informal.
7. Lead by example, ensure you have done what you want your PSAs and/or CSAs to do.
8. Hash words should NEVER proceed from your mouth to your team members at any time.
9. Let them know you are willing to help them achieve success as your team members.
10 .Ensure your leadership page and blog are up-to-date;direct them to your blog and Leadership page in every correspondence.

Wishing you Best of Business.

There is no simple way to teach anyone to do anything in my opinion. Lots of people like to do things their own way. Taking that into account, I would compose a short message to my team and put it in point form.

Point form works for many as there is not much reading to do and it stands out.

You can say something like this:

“Hello to all my team. Hope you are having a great day. I would like to include a few tips for you to help you build your team”

“There are many ways to build a team. Some are free and some cost money. The free way is a bit slow but, of course it is free. The paid way is faster for those who have a little money to invest”

“Start by doing some free or paid advertising. Just Google the words “Free advertising” for more information”

“You can purchase your team from one of the many sellers in the TripleClicks store. This is of great benefit to you. As well as receiving PSAs, you also receive VP and MRP which you can also use to purchase more PSAs”

You get the idea. In your messages, always make your offer of help and include your own email address as well as any other hints and tips you might have for them. You also need to include your Leadership Page details and make sure your Leadership Page is up to date.

When you have an active down line it is important that they develop a strong team under them. To achieve this you should tell them about two important sources and ask them to work on them.

They are their warm (close relatives and friends) and cold market (unknown people).

Teach them the means and information’s that they need to dissipate to attract the two market segments.

They should be well versed with the methods and aids that are provided by SFI to build their team. Your role would be to help them understand and implement to their success.

Help them understand that warm market would ensure steady team growth and better foundation formation of their team. Family and friends would last and would be easy to train and to help them grow by duplicating successful methods adopted by you and your down line members. They would easily relate to your success and follow themselves to be successful.

As their warm market would provide them desired stability, their cold market would help them strengthen their team to next level. This would provide them the long term benefits and would be helpful in increasing their commissions many folds.

Tell them about the importance of Team Leader position and how it can help then fortify their team. They can also add on to their team by winning PSAs and CSAs through Pricebenders’.

Once you make them aware of all resources and teach them how to implement them your and your team’s success is ensured.

I think the word that answers your question is Devotion!

While you're training your team, always answer their questions. As I lecturer, I can say that those who ask the most questions are usually the best students. Encourage them to read and learn on their own, but let them know that you will always be there for them if they need help.

Making a blog page is very important. SFI business is not complicated, but the very volume of information you can find on our website can be overwhelming. So, try to help them by using your knowledge and experience to downsize the number of articles they need to read in order to understand something.

Make a list of useful links to information that helped you reach success.

Help them set their goals, help them reach those goals, and congratulate them when they do.

Keep in touch with your team members. Let them know you care!

When you do all that, teach them how to do the same themselves. And you'll have a great team.

Good luck!

Your question is about duplication: gaining experience in building a team and a business, and effectively sharing that experience with your PSAs and CAs, so that they can do the same, and continue the process with their own team members.

In other words, to successfully teach your team members how to build their downline, you need to build your own, first. When you build your team, you will have the right answers. You will be ready to provide support and guidance.

You can also, as a beginner, start building your team and associate your downline to your efforts. There are several proven ways to do this, with potentially good results.

1. Set-up an S-Builder Co-op and invite your eligible downline to join. Follow the S-Builder Co-op set-up rules to maximize the benefits of this team building tool.

2. Pool your and your downline resources together to buy PSAs to go and bid on PSA auctions. Use the new re-assignment tools to share these new sign-ups with the team members who participated in this effort.

3. Set-up an advertisement co-op and share the advertising costs with your downline that is willing to participate. The fruits of these advertising efforts should also be shared in proportion to every participant's contributions.

These are some of the methods and strategies available to starters. While they can continue to be used, the best, most effective approach is true duplication, as stated above: leading and teaching by example

There are many ways to teach your downline about team building.
• You should set your own example for them to follow.
• You should check their snapshot window to know about their performance and achievements.
• Keep in touch with them through genealogy, PSA mailer, CSA mailer and Email.
• Teach them how to recruit new people for SFI, generate TC sales, and recruit PRMs.
• If you think they need more help you should get their phone numbers and talk to them, listen their problems and then give them your best suggestions.
• If some affiliates belong to your city you can arrange a meeting and tell them about purchasing PSAs, taking part in auctions to win PSAs.
• Your downline,s success depends on your communication skills.
• You consider them as your students and utilize all your energies to make them successful.
I hope it would be helpful.

When talking about building their downline I presume that you are not just talking about increasing the number of affiliates in their teams but also increasing their activities and profitability - teaching their downline to be all these.

In my opinion, the 1st thing to do is to ensure that you are of Team Leader level, at least EA2. As EA2 you have demonstrated that you can lead a team and SFI awards you with 2 new CSAs, allowed you to answer questions at ASK SC etc... Learn as much as possible about being an awesome sponsor at https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=191295
It is a lot harder to inspire and motivate team members if you are an Affiliate, then if you are a proven leader.

The next point to address is your image that you project to your team.
Do you project a professional image?
Do you do what you say you would do?
Is your word solid?
Do you lead by example?
Do you do what you preach?
Do you inspire in your affiliates and prospectives confidence that you will lead them to successes?
Do you communicate with them clearly with care and respect?

The answers to these questions should be all Yes. If that is the case you will have quality signups and your people will be willing to work with you, follow your examples and follow your suggestions.

You do not have to directly teach your downline how to build their downline. You just simply go about building your team to the best of your abilities. If you are good, your team members will respond positively to your efforts and they will in turn naturally do the same to build their own downlines.

In the the Rules of Success I have read the one That says Lead by example so I saw a quote in there that says " You don't lead by Lip service" This means that you don't teach your affiliates by telling them what to do but by doing.

For example if you want to teach your downline to get signups and TC members by using SBuilder then you have to use it yourself and then your downline will see your SBuilder Badge and then they to will start to use it.

Speaking of setting an example lets say that you won a pack of 50 affiliates at PriceBender auctions and then you post a picture and a message saying that you won then guess what happens your downline will see your post on Facebook and they will also participate in the auctions.

So what I am saying is that your downline will see what you are doing and they will copy you because they are silent witnesses. So this is the case of monkey see monkey do.

Advertising in general is the best way to get downline but as a Sponsor it is your job to do the work of testing and even spending money in order to know which websites get results and which ones don't. SFI the provides you the tools to teach your affiliates which places give results by using you leadership page or PSA/ Genealogy mailer to communicate with them.

I apologize for not teaching you actual methods because I see that you already know how to build your downline so all you need to do is set the example. On the To-Do List you get 100 points for setting an advertising coop for your affiliates so it is obvious that you will add your 5 most active ones so that they can receive a share of the sign-ups that you receive so how do you teach them about this? Well one of the ways is by having your own website or blog so that you can educate your downline and then create a fan page on Facebook so that your affiliates can ask you questions and you put your answers in there. So by doing these things you are setting an example for your downline.

Remember the best way to teach your downline in general is by teaching your affiliates to do all the things that you are already doing.
