I feel the 3 biggest keys to success with SFI are:
1. KNOWLEDGE: It's the primary thing you need to succeed in any business. The Launchpad lessons, the Internet income series and all the rich pool of training materials available on this site are there to equip you with the knowledge you need to excel on your business. So ensure you grow in knowledge everyday!
2. COMMITMENT: This is a real business and success is not overnight. Without the commitment to doing the right things everyday -

Moving from an EA to a Team Leader means business! Unlike the EA rank that can be attained simply be setting up an SO of 1500 VP, Team Leadership requires at least 3000 VP and in addition, you must:
1. Have minimum 1,500 points / maximum 2,000 points from sales/purchases each month
2. Maintaining a Leadership Page, and
3. A minimum 3-star rating (not applicable if TLs have less than 5 ratings).

While you can easily pick up 2000 VP qualified points from TC sales/purchases,

I think it's a great tool for motivating your not only your PSAs, but all other members of your team. But for contests to be effective, they have to be set up to attractive and you have to create enough awareness for all qualified to participate.

I currently have 5 contests running and I've planned them in such a way that there is something in it for every member of my team - PSAs, CSAs and other downliners. Some of the celebrate their successes while others motivate them to aim higher.

Does having a co-op for your downline help get them active and stay active?

The answer to that question is simply YES!

One of the things that keep an affiliate active is having his own team to support, nurture and build. Apart from logging in every day to carry out their daily actions, they'll now have the reason to log in daily to assess the progress of their team and provide support for their downline.

But then, the task of advertising and generating ones own leads can be a difficult task. Free advertising can be effective but it requires ample time

You must let him know that we all felt disappointed when we saw our first commission, including those making heavy commissions currently. The only way he would have made much in commissions the first month was if he generated heavy TC sales or had referred ECAs who made great sales.

SFI isn't a one hit business and was never designed to be so. It's a real business and like every real business, it takes time to grows. This is because you'll have to take time to learn the principles governing

It's true for affiliates below your PSAs, you don't have vital information them like their emails, phone contacts etc. nor do you have access to their personal VP ledger to see details of their activities for the month. But from you genealogy, you are provided with information on their total VersaPoints and their VersaPoints for the month. Armed with this information, you are able to measure to a great extent their level of progress in SFI.

Now how do you help them? Your only means of

When it comes to encouraging your affiliates to do things, nothing works like being an example yourself. For every affiliate, the advantages of having a Standing Order (SO) are enormous and you should point them to it. Here are a few of them:
1. You get the products in your SO delivered to you every month without the troubles of reordering every month.
2. An SO of at least 1500 VP ensures your re-qualify as an EA every month and never get to lose your EA status nor your executive benefits
