Good day Mihaela,

We as Team Leaders should know the importance of sending out the Designated Diamond invitations. The invitations are sent to hard working affiliates in your team. That said, the PSAs that you have sent this invitation, has an insight as to what the Designated Diamond Programme entails.

If they don't, we would send them an email. The first email sent would be to:-

1. Appreciate them for accepting your DD ( Designated Diamond) invitation.

2.

Simply explain to them that this is part of a long term goal achieved by doing what they normally would every day. It is not a hardship task that is out of reach, but something that will bring them greater success a couple years or so down the road. Help them to understand that you are not placing a burden on them, but rather a means to achieve greater things that will reward them at a greater level.

Diamonds are regular people just like you and I, they've simply experienced a level we

Every Designated Diamond affiliate is not a new PSA in the team. DD is a reward, of hard and dedicated work, from an upline to his/her PSA. At such, every PSA given should see it as a privilege.

After accepting the DD offer, SFI has already congratulated the PSA and the Team Leader need not to worry about welcoming the new DD but open a line of communication that will ensure the commitment entered is confirmed by the Team Leader.

As a Team Leader, your first correspondence with

Your Designated Diamonds are in my opinion are seasoned and know you very well
And they are active, so they don’t need any new welcome letter or introduction. When
They join or accept your Designated Diamond invitation they already know what is
going on.

But one thing what you can do is, you have to praise them for accepting your invitation
And taking the challenge to build their future and reach the Diamond Team Leader
Position in the near future.

You

If you are able to contact him/her by phone, why not pick up the phone and ring and say "Hi Tony, thanks buddy! You are my DD Affiliate!" or words to that effect, sounding very pleased and excited.

You can do the same with any email message, e-card, telegram, smoke signal or whatever!

You are first of all acknowledging that your PSA has accepted your invitation to the DD program and that you are delighted.

You would have been communicating with DDA

Designated Diamond is a person who belongs to your Team and not a stranger.

You have been working with that person for quite some time and you would have identified the fire to grow more in him. That's why you have chosen him to be your Designated Diamond. There is no need for you to do something strange in terms of welcoming him.

Once you got a DD, what you can do is:

1. Explain about the program in detail;
2. Share the commitment involved - from his side

There’s no need to welcome your Designated Diamond like you do with new PSA.

Your Designated Diamond is not a new arrival to your team- he is your active worker whom you have selected and invited as DD because you acknowledged his potential, his hard work, dedication and performance, and with whom you have already built a strong working relationship and can work towards your mutual goal to become DTLs.

As the DD Program is directly aligned with The Plan, it formalizes

Welcoming a designated diamond is a big deal. Obviously they have already shown that they are a leader, hard-working, and focused on goals. They already know that you are supportive, and an awesome sponsor. The only left to do is to make good of the commitment. Personally, I find the stipulations very generous when it comes to the time frame involved.

Therefore, my first conversation with my designation diamond would start with some fact finding questions like the following:

A new Designated Diamond is not a new SFI affiliate, nor your new PSA, and not lower than your first generation. It is your PSA who has shown himself to be worthy of an invitation to the DD program. Worthy of your attention, time, training, and relationship.

(I hope that you are not so eager to send out invitations that you send them to everyone in your genealogy. Be patience but deligent, your team will grow and those worthy of invitations will show themselves. SFI isn't going to end
