Good day Akinlolu,

This is everyone's ultimate goal in the new year and with a plan, set goals, commitment, focus and strategy, we can achieve success in our business.

There is the saying that little drops make a mighty ocean. Likewise, encouraging our downlines to do their daily, weekly and monthly tasks regularly non stop will aid us achieving some of our goals. For instance, if we had a shop, we need to open to our customers everyday at 8am and close 6pm having in mind that when we don't open, we would not sell for that day. Likewise, the same is applicable in our SFI business. If we don't log on, we do not get the Versa Points for the day.

Another thing I would do differently is to encourage my downline to advertise more aggresively. Towards the end of last year, it was stated that before you can become a Team Leader for instance, Bronze Team Leader, you must have at least 1 EA2 first level. This is the new twist unlike before you can be a Team Leader without having an active team. This I agree would be an incentive to my downline as I can set up a team contest awarding T credits, Gift certificates or Transfer of Affiliates to hard working affiliates who have recruited some PSA'S via their blogs, personal websites, paid and unpaid free sites to advertise Tripleclicks products. These incentives are important as they would keep recruiting PSAs having in mind that there is a reward after recruitment has been achieved, new recruits serious in their business and grow it.

Working with these affiliates will help both of us as i am growing my team wih first line of EA2, or Team leaders and they in turn duplicate my actions with the goal of recruiting at least 5 active team members to help rise in Team Leader ranks and aid Duplication easier. This would have a positive significance as your active PSAs would be someone's CSAs helping to reduce redundancy and Inactive PSAs that would be churned by SFI.

Another aspect I would look into differently in 2016 is to lay emphasis on Tripleclicks sales. As we all know that Tripleclicks is our online store. When we encourage our downline to refer friends, family members to shop on tripleclicks, for each purchase, made by them, they get a commission. Going on out with their Tripleclicks x cards and distribute to propects will go a long way. Likewise, they giving out Tripleclicks gift cards to prospects will help generate sales and PRMs. Alternatively, I would also inform them of other Marketing aids they can use to advertise and get more PSAs.

Another aspect that I would look into this 2016 to see that my PSAs become active is for them to try the Price bender auctions to their advantage to get household items at reduced prices. We as Sponsors, we need to lead by example. If we personally want them to participate and win the auctions, we need to have won a price bender auction which would be displayed on our Homepage as well as give tips for them winning a price bender auction. I personally have been guilty about not actively participating in the auctions for the fear of not winning. But I have come to realise this that its a win-win situation. If I don't win the auctions, I still get mrps an action VersaPoints for each bid. For each 10 bid, a possible full PSA or part PSA. So its a win win situation as It will also enable them build their team.

Also, another aspect I would look into wisely is the efficient and effective use of my t credits which I buy on a monthly basis. To avoid me losing them after a year of purchase, I decided to list unwanted items in my home thereby, creating traffic to tripleclicks and likely sales of the items. Also during my leisure time play Eager Zebra Games with my t credits. Each bid gives 1 AVP which helps in build their rank.

Also, what I will do differently this 2016 is to inspire my team members more so that they know that they made the right decisions via the testimonial of other affiliates. Remember, actions is what people want and for such we need to back what we are saying for them to belìeve before we get any commitment.


In 2016, what I would do differnetly is to give full support to my PSAs and CSAs so that they know I am always there for them and that they can count on me. In otherwords, if I am an awesome sponsor, I will get nothing but the best for my team.


In 2016, I intend growing my team further by recognising my hard working affilaites that have been committed and offering my support by issuing a gift certificates if I see that they have achieved or reached certain parameters.


The above is my strategy which I have designed for 2016 for my business to grow and succeed. With that, training my active affilaites in the team to Duplicatè my actions, there would be no limit to my earnings.


All the best

What will I do differently in 2016?

That is a great question.
1. advertise more
2. use more websites
3. teach my affiliates more about SFI
4. contact my movers more by praising them
5. being more active by handing out more gift cards
6. keep in closer contact with my affiliates
7. contact my sponsors & co-sponsors more for answers to questions that my affiliates may have
8. lead them to my leader page
9. show them how easy it is to get badges
10. Share my badges that I have worked for just in 20 months. This is a short time frame that I have been able to work for 39 badges so far.
11. show them how much fun it is to work hard and still have fun playing games and bidding on auctions

I believe these 11 areas that I have listed is very important in order to show my affiliates how important it is to become more active SFI and why it is important to teach them to do what I have been doing. By seeing how much I have grown in such a short time will demonstrate that it is possible.

I hope this answers the question.

Hi,
First you should have a look back in 2015 and review all your activity regarding this matter. As our leaders teach us to lead by example and we take them as our closest example in our activity, you should do the same. You are the teacher, you are your PSAs leader, you are the one who advice them so you should be the first one ho applies what you teach . I see you have a S.O., I see lots of very nice badges won through hard work, I see you are active and continuous since 2014 so CONGRATULATIONS! They should follow your example!
Second, you should know that not all of the people are made to be entrepreneurs, leaders, not all of them are willing to invest, some of them are simply not made to have their own business, so it is not your fault if lots become inactive from the first, second, 3rd, 4th ...etc day. Some of the people subscribe just from curiousity and they find out it is not what they wanted. But you still have to go on as you did before: send welcome e-Cards, tips e-cards, weekly e-mails, to stream the same as efore, maybe even more and not just to win the weekly VPs, you have to continue on winning badges and VPs as before or maybe even more, you still have to invest in your own business.
Third, you still have to continue to read, learn and teach as before or maybe a little more, because leaders are readers and they should be informed and they should learn so they could be able to teach others and answer questions.
Communciation is very important and maybe you should consider sending e-mails to those who stopped their activity asking what is wrong, if you can help, you should remind them the reason why they subscribed in SFI,
In the end, a leader, just as a teacher works more with his top people and doesn't waste longer time than he should with the ones who prefer to stay at the end of the class and don't do their homework, he invests time and prices in the ones who show interest and helps them so he would have great results.
I just hope i was helpful to you and i wish you have a very successful 2016.

Distribute/share a gift card to your SFI affiliate or award cash like $2,$3,$4, $5,$6 etc.

What can/should I do differently in 2016 to see that my affiliates become active in SFI?

I can’t “see” (or make) my affiliates become active in SFI. That is their personal choice. But perhaps if I change a few things I might make it harder for them not to become active.

So, I am trying to make myself (and hence SFI) more real to them. I want them to realize that I am a real person, just an ordinary bloke, just like them, and that SFII is for “us ordinary people”. In fact SFI is for everyone! This is how I am trying to do this: -

1. I make the Stream posts and weekly TeamMails that I send out quite personal. I talk about what I am doing. I describe the problems and challenges that I face and how I am trying to overcome them. I talk about how my family life impinges on SFI and visa versa. And I talk about my achievements and the wins/rewards that I receive from SFI.

2. I try to break down SFI into small progressive bits. And I advise them to work at their own pace, don’t become overwhelmed. SFI will still be there for them tomorrow. Just do what you can each day or whenever you can.

3. And I am trying to put my face before them. For instance I prepared and sent out a video clip on Youtube with a short Christmas message. And I did another one for New Year.

I’m not very good at this. It is something that I will have to learn to do better – and I will. And the next step is for me to prepare Youtube training video clips and send those out.

4. And I want to follow these Youtube clips up with a series of day-by-day “this is what you should do” guides. I’m in the process of preparing these now.

The above is all about trying to get my team to begin in SFI. Once they do, once they ask me something – then I can give them specific, personal, “one-on-one” advice.

Is what I am doing working? Well, the very small number of affiliates who rate me each month give me 5 stars. That is very satisfying. Of course alot do not respond at all. But perhaps the most encouraging thing that happens is sometimes an affiliate who has been inactive for some time logs in and has another look at SFI. Maybe they don’t do much, but at least they came back. So perhaps what I am doing is making them more curious about SFI. That gives me hope to keep on trying.

What can/should I do differently in 2016 to see that my affiliates become active in SFI?

Excellent question. There isn't much you can do to control what other people do. People tend to make their own assumptions based on the information they understand even if it is a misunderstanding. Of course, people have their own personality type. There isn't much you can do about that either. However, what you can do is focus on improving your understanding of SFI and learning to discern those who are serious and those who aren't. Network marketing is about learning how to sort and sift through the movers and those who aren't willing to do the work.

Many people come to SFI everyday looking for a better alternative to improve their standard of living. Ninety-five percent of them are not willing to do the work required to build serious income. About 2% of them are willing to do the work and most of them don't know what to do. Hence, this brings us back to your question.

To see that you maximize the efforts of the 2%, be sure to follow these recommendations.

1. Be very knowledgeable about SFI's rules, policies, comp plan, and the business center. You need to be skilled at finding information using the resources so that you can provide this information at a moments notice to your team.

2. Focus on team building and the morale of the team. People won't perform well when they are disillusioned about something. Again, you need to be up to date on the latest SFI News. You need to work on team spirit. Whether it's through a contest, or giveaway, or gift certificate, do something to reward your active business centers. Praise them often and always be willing to lend a hand. I don't mind helping workers with a gift certificate as long as they meet some requirements.

3. Follow the plan as explained here: https://www.sfimg.com/the_plan It will be imperative for you to work with your team through a co-op so that you can anchor down each business center until you have the number of DTLs you want. This means you want to have active members on each level of your network. Teach them how you do what you do.

4. Recommend strategies in a step-by-step sequence to help your movers move from 1 milestone to the next. Keep it simple and stick with the basic principles. As soon as you discern a mover, walk them through the process from affiliate, to fast track silver, fast track gold, then EA. Walk them through to team leader. Then they should be able to duplicate your actions.

5. Provide visual aids and other tools to help your team. Allow them an inside look at how you run your business. Webinars, hangouts, skype, facebook groups, and other social mediums work well to add interaction among team members. You can do a Q&A session, brainstorm, and teach on marketing strategies.

6. Always follow the rules of success found here: https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index?referrer=search and be an awesome sponsor as described here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor Don't be an absentee sponsor - Lead by example.

7. Expect the best and accept what you get. Know the strengths and weaknesses of your movers. Definitely, know your own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone doesn't have the same budget or skill set. Just because we differ doesn't mean that we can't agree to disagree. We are looking for people who want to forge their own path. Be flexible enough to realize that your recommendations may work but may not be accepted as the rule. As long as everyone is productive to the best of their ability everyone wins.

These principles are such that the team is put at an advantage and not a disadvantage. Remember that your team is in it for their benefit not yours. Put them first and you will have an awesome team that respects you and accepts your recommendations. Pushing mandatory quotas, sales, sponsoring, or standing orders is going to hurt your team more than it will help. Let your motives and recommendations add value to your team and you will get value in return.

* Reflect on your weaknesses in the past year.

* Ponder over the affiliates who are not active, which region do they come from, for how long have they been inactive and what incentives can you provide.

* Talk to your up line support team members who have reached higher ranks within the same period or less than what you have achieved during that time. How have they overcome hurdles if they have faced any. This is vital to your business.

* Discuss and form a plan of how you will invest in new recruits, that is your time, finances, efforts

* Formulate a strategy for rewards to your down lines who are willing to move forward with you

* Communicate regularly, if last year you did not send out any e-cards, these are very motivating, make sure you include at least 1 e-card for your active members as well as those who are not, send them a regular e-mail.

* It is not always necessary to talk about SFI; share your experiences with your inactive members. Make some light reading - SFI already sends out heaps of details to affiliates, you do not need to repeat.

* Focus on generating Sales at TripleClicks, this is one of the most lucrative business which most people shy away from because they think it is just selling. Understand that you are developing relationships with people and in the process and they will bring in commissions. Expand your business into various sectors of SFI.

It helps to create an overview of how you performed in the past year and then compare your efforts with your results. Your income will be one indicator of your performance so if you have earned $1.00 on your personal VPs in the past year, it is time to see how you can earn $5.00. It is essential to keep up with everyone in your team, both active and inactive affiliates.

I recommend that if you haven't done so already, review your performance in 2015. If you haven't been doing these, make it part of your regular practice starting now.

Active Affiliates are vital to your business and setting goals that are related to their activities and growth are absolutely essential. If you haven't been doing that, start doing that as from 2016.

Have a look at your last years goals. Were your goals met? If not why not?
Identify where you did well and capitalize on those - fine tuning them or building even more on them.
Where you did not do well - why not? Can you afford to drop those areas and/or do you need to do more work there. For example if you did not do well in TC Sales, why not? Did you do any advertising? If so, how much? Where? Tracking? Wording of the ads etc...

How active are you in SFI? See if you need to raise you profile within SFI. Set yourself up as the ideal model that your affiliates should follow and duplicate. Tell them and let them see what you are doing. Let them see the badges of achievements you have.

Have a look at the innovations that SFI has come up with and use them.

Signing Bonus - These are linked to Fast Track. You may want to actively use these get your new affiliates off to a good start, motivated and remain active.

Games, Auctions, Contests - Your affiliates are all different and different things appeal to different people. If you haven't been promoting/encouraging.

Are you in the DD program? If you haven't received an invitation from your sponsor and you believe that you can commit to it long term, send him/her a message. Solicit an invitation. Hopefully those inactive affiliates will be helped and motivated by your involvement in the program.

There are many more things that you can do to motivate your affiliate to become active. Its your call really but I would recommend that you use the tools and programs within SFI to do these. Some of these are just awesome.

Before making your move, if you're going to do something different in 2016 to see that your affiliates become active in SFI do the following steps:

- Go to your Genealogy and evaluate the progress of your affiliates in regards to their journey with SFI.

- You can identify from the previous year how many of your movers are still active, how many are semi-active and inactive. Based on this result, you'll be able to know if your strategy is working, if not you will need to modify your strategic plan.

- You need to be critical in looking at the results of your evaluation of your entire downline in regards to their activities and see how you can improve your training and support. You should make known to your affiliates right from the start that you're always be there for one-on-one support. This is a very effective strategy to offer customized solutions to the unique challenges of your affiliates.

- If you see one of your most active affiliates dropping in his/her growth-promoting activities (you can identify this through your Genealogy, Movers tab and VP Ledger.), you would have to communicate with him/her to find out where the difficulty lies. It's very important that you concentrate first on your Movers in light of the recent change about the new additional TL qualifications.

- With the recent changes and additions of new innovations, you can do many things differently and motivate all your affiliates to become active. You can do the following:

1. Being a Team Leader, you can take advantage of the Designated Diamond program. First identify five serious PSAs in your team and designate them to become Diamond Team Leaders. You'll be working with them closely towards achieving their ultimate goal of being Diamond Team Leaders. By doing this, you're promoting the development and growth of your affiliates to the highest possible rank level and encouraging them to stay active.

2. Let your affiliates know how they can earn an extra one-time bonus through the Milestone Shares. Be an example to them by going up to the maximum 18 Milestone Shares. To get them started, communicate to them clearly that they need to become EA, maintain their EA status and strive to move up to the TL rank. They need to score at least 10 VP daily which corresponds to 10 Milestone Shares so that they'll automatically be banking up to 18 Milestone Shares. When they reached a milestone from EA status to BTL, all their valid shares banked to date are added to monthly commissions as a one-time bonus.

This will greatly motivate them to become active and even increase their level of activity in accumulating more VPs with the additional one-time bonus commission.

3. With the “More VersaPoint opportunities” and the “New simpler VersaPoints rules” recent announcements, you can encourage your affiliates to go for the maximum VP accumulation with TripleClicks Pricebenders auctions, EZ games, TC Music and Member Listings. To establish your credibility, you should be setting an example to them whenever you encourage them to do something. You should be the first one to implement these new changes in your SFI business. Explain to them clearly that they'll get lots of benefits in promoting the growth of their SFI business. The benefits include helping them to fulfill their VP requirements to maintain and move up their rank, accumulate MRPs (you can redeem any TC products/services with MRPs), earn prestigious badges, etc.

The above steps will guide you and act accordingly in regards to your affiliates becoming active. Only you can take actions to motivate your affiliates to become active.

What should I do?

Firstly, I need to lead by example. So I would check the Badge Gallery to see which important badges I lack and try and get them as soon as possible.

Secondly, I need to advertise more or sign up for more shares in the S-Builder Co-op. The more PSAs I got, the better is the chance of getting semi-active and active PSAs.

Thirdly, I need to communicate BETTER with my team. If my weekly mail does not work, I need to try a new approach next week. Until I get at least one response to my mail.

And lastly, READERS ARE LEADERS. I need to study the system more or review my lessons again. And don't forget the Forum. Many a question are answered here even before it has been asked by you as like-minded people has done it already.
