Reach out to everyone in your team - if you leave it to their sponsor then they may receive no support at all

Yes, It is depend on you, How you treated your PSAs/CSAs. And at which stage you have taken work from them. If you are capable you may accept 7th generation in your group. All the best...

At the moment I have only 1 generation PSAs and CSAs so it is easy to reach out to them. I email them regularly just to keep in touch, sharing valuable tips I come across from the SFI Forum, and reminding them that I am there for them to help in any way I can. This I will continue to do especially when I have 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. generations! I will keep on reaching out to them even if I don't ever hear from any of them, for they are on my team.

Without question! Not only should support be offered throughout your entire downline but encouraged for SFI's entire platform. Without supporting each other we, as a community, would never have gotten as far as we have. Take Ask SC for an example, this is a support group right here! Without support the SFI platform would not be what it is nor have the success rate it has. Just recently someone from outside my up/downline has given me a form of support a new affiliate like me could only dream of finding.

Make time for all your affiliates from 1st to last. A simple message of encouragement and willingness to help from time to time will greatly boost the morale and tightens the bond within your team. Always remember that whenever a sponsor is removed due to inactivity then their downline passes up to you, so if you are always there for all of them then their will never be any confusion among your team whoever their sponsor might be.

Yes, reach down to them and develop a relationship and cement the parts of your team together. By looking at your genealogy and checking each of your PSAs who have sponsored affiliates, you can tell if he is in a position to be of help to his downline. Look at his badges, his total and monthly vp, if he has earned all of the available communication and stream vp, if he has completed his To Do List including the LaunchPad. These can indicate that this is a good or bad sponsor.

Your first

Reaching out to them as their co-sponsor will make up for your sponsor being on vacation or all the times when their sponsor isn't available. This gives them an extra support to help them make their EA or higher status. Since you're not going to say the exact same thing as their sponsor, they will get help with things they may not be able to help with.

It also gives their sponsor a nice break when they can't be there.

So yes, you should always support your team, and all who

It all depends on their sponsor. If they have an active sponsor you better concentrate on that sponsor and show him the best ways to sponsor his PSAes. On the other hand , if they have inactive sponsors you should definitely reach them and offer your help.

Also you can include them in any tips or advice you are mailing to your PSAes. Remember that in case those inactive affiliates in between you and them disappear all those active affiliates from level 2, 3 and so on will move one level

It is very important that you reach out, not only to your PSAs but also to your entire team! The reason is that you build your business by helping all members on your downline and encourage them. It helps with commissions for everyone because those who are EAs or higher earn greater commissions and share (as Team Leaders) in greater commissions from those who are EAs or higher on their team. It boosts morale with everyone on your team. It helps with communications between each other. It is a

Always bear in mind that ALL generations in your genealogy that you stand to benefit from their success DO NEED YOUR 100% SUPPORT! Remember, their success is your success so supporting them is supporting yourself ultimately - this is where DUPLICATION comes hard into play!
