The answer to your question is "YES". By moving up the ladder, you are not only showing them the way, but also allowing your down-line to consider you as their role model. When they visit your Leadership Page and sees your badges and ranks, it will definitely inspire them to move up the ladder.

Once your down-line starts following you, you can be sure that you have crossed the first hurdle. This is the most difficult task. To get going... Once they are up and running, then it

it is absolutely better to have a higher rank so that your downline members will surely look up on you,and its easier to do the 'DUPLICATION' when your downline have trust on you...and i believe on the saying that EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER...

Right said, I don't think personal rank in SFI is the most important thing. Yes, it will be shown under your name and so what? You're the person who will lead, not your rank. Yes, it will build respect for sure but other people have the same title. To gain trust you should share information, show care and concern,be open for questions or just to listen and do trainings for your team. They will see you are true leader and a friend they can rely on. I do it myself and my team want to know and learn

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves. It will not be fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.

Yes, moving up your personal rank in SFI will definitely help you gain the trust of your downline members because nobody wants to be associated or work with a poor teammate or leader. Its called leadership by example. Hard work is very important and it sure gives you confidence and naturally brings trust your way.

Yes, you gain much more credibility when you put into practice the things that you recommend to your downline, especially progressing in rank and maintaining that rank once you have achieved it. This gives your downline the confidence to realize that it can be done. Whenever your downline views your affiliate snapshot and sees the rank that you have achieved, they aspire to attain the rank that you have. I know that my sponsor's excellent example and rank of Silver Team Leader inspires me to work

Leading by example should be primary is guiding newbies. A leader needs to be sure HE is leading correctly. Sometimes we give answers that do no reflect what we actually do.
The Bible speaks about "Blind leaders leading the blind." Of course, that is referring
to people who think they know the WAY when they do not. It applies to business as well.
Some use money to gain position. "Them that HAS. GETS!" philosophy. Unfortunately, these leaders are not ones that are

My answer is yes, but not only that, moveing up in rank to executive afilliate or team leader will give you the confidence and knowledge to help and instruct your downline to duplicate yourself!

Trust from your down line Yes, but fueling growth depends on many factors. A more permanent growth is brought about by your ability to recruit PSA month after month. on monthly basis is your ability to sell items from Triple Clicks. But usually sales from TC will also come from your PSA. I hope every one who is reading this can see the real key for growth.

Absolutely! SFI is a business based on duplication. Show your downline how you improved your rank so they can follow. Once they see you moved up and hearing all the benefits that you have got from moving up in rankings then they will want to do the same.

Most definitely! When you show yor affiliates, both PSAs and CSAs that you are moving up the ranks and that you are a hard worker and that you lead by example and you help them by communicating effectively with them and help them by awarding them for their work and by helping them t achieve higher levels when things are going not so well in teir personal lives, financially and otherwise, you gain trust from them and they will follow your example. However, please remember that some affiliates, no
