Before introducing contests in your downline, consider these important points so as to make use of its full benefits:

1. Know your downline

You need to classify your affiliates based on their activity. You're not going to reward someone who never log in, or someone who demands it in return for logging in everyday. Your focus should be on duplicating yourselves, so concentrate on the affiliates that constantly push themselves in achieving their set goals.

2. Establish

The benefits are many.

Firsty, a contest is a great motivator, it gets your affiliates to set goals and go for them, and also to compete, which is what business is all about.

It gets your affiliates to strive to be the best they can be, and go as far as they can. Want affiliate to be an EA? Do it again next month and become EA2? What about become a Team Leader in their own right, how far away are they from hitting Bronze?

Make sure you give recognition on your Leadership

Good question.
The contest for the members of your downline is one of the links in the chain on the road to success.
Please, think about it on this way:
You are successful in duplication and number of your members is constantly increasing.
All active members are working for themselves, but they also work for you.
It's your team that you need to help with advices, it would be better for you.
But, how to attract them to work even better?
Simple - to organize the contest.
First,

The benefits of organising a competition are two-fold:

Firstly:

Healthy competition gets people moving. And getting people moving is the most important thing you can do for your business. An active downline means a profitable business! This is the theory of duplication.

Secondly:

The rewards of the competition give your downline even more opportunity to improve their business, be more active and earn more money. And if your downline has a better business

It is a very good idea to organize a contest for your downline.

This helps them to compete among them. When you provide any prize or gift to the contest winner, it boosts them a lot. By looking at the winners, the other downline members also try to achieve the same.

Also they have a feeling that there is someone who can really guide and mentor them in their growth with SFI. They will also try to follow the same to their downline team members.

This not only helps you

Good question...
The benefits of organizing contests for your downline are quite numerous but I guess I could just mention two;

1. When you organise a contest for your team, you motivate them into taking their SFI business more seriously. The anticipation of a reward makes them give their best and help them grow faster. You could make the contest about getting the most VP or more signups, either way your team grows.

2. Another benefit of contests is that it promotes duplication

In my opinion,the main motive behind the setting of contests is to motivate,support and reward both hardworking affiliates to work more and non-working affiliates so as to ginger them to also work.Some people sometimes will not start anything unless they're motivated and given incentives,others will also start but unless motivated and supported will only run at a low pace.It sometimes become necessary to keep people like these moving by motivating,supporting and rewarding them through contests.Once
