It mostly depends on how much time you have available to devote to SFI and how much your team requires of you. Don't put so much in that you drain yourself, yet make yourself available as much as you reasonably can.

This is a people business, so we will be involved with people. Helping them can be one of your greatest assets as you build this business. If things get too busy for you, don't try and do it all at once, space it out throughout the day. Do some in the morning, some in the afternooon, and some in the evening.

If you have a smartphone this can be one of your greatest tools in this business because you can use it to work your business when you have time and you are away from your home computer. Keep it fun, keep it simple and yet professional.

Hello!

I am always for helping affiliated move forward. The only occasions when I think we should stop is:

- what the affiliate can do it on his/her own (and learn from the experience)
- when helping the affiliate means a violation of SFI rules or your moral codes


It is true that our PSAs and CSAs need us most in the beginning, but I wouldn't say that you are supposed to focus on them for a few months, and then focus on some other beginners. Or help them reach BTL status, and then let them be. Some team members will always turn to you for advice, no matter how successful they get. What matters is that they will also push you into being more successful to lead them. Isn't that great?

I believe that every sponsor should gauge their affiliates' progress and their desire. I have learned in times past, you may not be able to tell if a person is serious based on their language, but watch for their investment. People generally put their money where their mouth is.

As a sponsor, I would spend time with all of my PSA's, but the line will be drawn on affiliates that are simply trying to get only freebies and not really putting in any real time.

The limit - the limit should be that you are willing to do everything to keep your PSA's momentum... It is my job to help him WANT excellence...

As a Sponsor, it is our duty to ensure our PSA's are provided with the proper information to enable them to successfully move forward with their SFI Business. We should also be prepared to answer any questions, concerns, or just general comments in regards to how we do business with SFI. Continual encouragement is also a great attribute to provide for your affiliates, this will provide you both with a meaningful and trustful relationship in the long-term.

Any point that you may consider to be invasive is a point you should not allow anyone to go beyond. But, building a trustful relationship with ongoing communication can assist to avoid pitfalls such as this.

Hope this helps, and Good Luck.

There is no "distance" or limit one should put on training your Affiliates.
Duplication is one of the main goals we push for and we all should be open
to seeing our downlines do better than ourselves! However, just as raising
a family, there is a point when the child must move out on their own. As any
parent would say, "support is always here" meaning I am always around to help!

The point of "coddling" is reached when the PSA/CSA uses too much incentive
and is too giving. This means that their Affiliates become expectant and lose
their "drive". Thusly, it is key to stay in touch but avoid overly "parenting".

Hello fellow affiliate,

This is a very apt question in this business where the object is to lead as many people as possible to success, thereby helping yourself by helping others.

A good leader teaches and encourages. The sponsor should show the affiliate both by example and by communication how to go forward. The sponsor should in effect teach the affiliate how to "fish" but at no point should s/he do the "fishing" for him/her. S/he can however put the bait on the hook until the affiliate is confident and skilled enough to do it alone.

In the end it is up to the individual sponsor as to how far is "beyond".

Be blessed and have fun while learning!

There is an old saying: “Give somebody a fish and you’ll feed them for a day. Teach them to fish and you’ll feed them for life.”

A Sponsor should follow this wise advice and teach their team WHAT they have to do and HOW to do it. No more and no less.

It isn’t an easy task and we all learn while working. Lead by example, explain as much as you can and always be available for questions.

But when it comes to doing business it’s one’s own responsibility. If your team members have mastered the rod, they will catch their own fish. And your task will be fulfilled.

well, u can help your affiliates move forward In so many ways:

firstly,sending congratulatory messages whenever that affiliates reaches a milestone,earns a badge,wins a price.you can also send E-Cards to them which are made available for free maximum one daily for each affiliate,
The idea transferring t-credits to ur affiliates is another wonderful way of suportin them..giving them ideas on some steps to take to achieve some ranks,positions or badge

introduce them to the world of duplication and sponsoring..let them know that duplication is an important factor to succed in sfi..that way they earn commissions from their affiliates purchases,who in turn earn from their own affiliates and it goes on and on.
You can still serve as a reminder to them.some may have forgotten,some especially the new affiliates my not be aware of the vast services sfi can give them and end up quitting because of poor or no sponsoring...Don't only be a sponsor be a Teacher and also a friend.
However we find out that after giving much support some affiliates don't know how hard and how much u have put in to keep them going because they don't care or not even interested in where they have found themselves.Most of them are disappointed because they thought it was going to be a fast cash scheme so they quit.

I once gave an affiliate of mine the support I thought he needed even going to the extent of doing his tasks for him so he could reach the minimum requirement because he claimed he didn't know what to do and was confused even after the explanations I gave him..i helped him get very close but the rest was what I coudnt do I told him to finish he never did it and never reached the minimum.Thats the kind of thing u see as a sponsor but don't ever give up!
You can go as far as ur strength can take unless ur convinced they are not Interested!dont force it on them lest they look at it like ur interested in the gain u can make from them.just keep reminding them.always give your support
And above all try To be the Leader your Affiliate will want to Emulate!!

Interesting subject.

It's difficult to say how much you should help them but one is certain you must make them independent. It's ok in beginning to help them explain them certain things but if this continues over and over again after a few months and you need to explaining them every thing that they read than you are doing all the work and they are doing nothing, and this would be the line you should never cross. It's difficult subject because we don't have same knowledge so based on that you need to judge who need more help and who need less but don't make them dependent on you. If you see that they read something about subject and asking you something that is not clear to them that is perfectly normal and it's great but if you see that they did not read anything and expect from you to do everything for them this is not good. Maybe this sound a little harsh but imagine that you have 20 guys who are lazy, just imagine that kind of team. This is like doing 20 jobs. Don't let this happen.

It is a duty of a team leader to guide each Affiliate under his sponsorship especially at the initial stage where there may be a confusion on how to proceed. You will notice that as he moves to the next level with your guidance, he become knowledgeable even more than his Sponsor because each one of us has its own talent in doing things. Of course, the Sponsor is part of the development process but there's a time to give your Affiliates a chance to shine from their own initiative.

You can not set a time frame to stop mentoring because our business is a continuing "give and take" process. Communication and consultation are ingredients for success and should always be there. There will come a time that Affiliates will be working on their own teams and so on. But it is always good to communicate once in a while and discuss about the business.
