Great question Ryan.

Depth is where the money is.

You can have hundreds or even thousands of PSA's in your first generation but this creates more work for you.

You have to keep track of what they are doing and then contact them to encourage them. You have to answer all the questions that they have. And they will all be at different levels of understanding.

This is why schools have different classes and don't just have all the students piled together in one room.

It's much easier to delegate some of the work to your movers. (and it encourages them as well)

Also think about it this way... If you can sponsor 6 people per week just by yourself then imagine how many 6 people can sponsor? (or more)

I have put around 3000 new PSA's in our team during the last 4 months. Of those I have kept about 10% as 1st generation and have divided the remainder amongst my movers. In fact one of my movers have more in their 1st Gen than I do as a result.

Share the love (and the work)

Reward your movers and they'll reward you.

Good Luck Ryan.

I would prefer to do both sponsoring hundreds of new PSAs every year and teaching/supporting smaller number of EAs to form their own team of EAs.

Network marketing is a numbers game. You can’t just focus on sponsoring hundred of new affiliates every year and leave to uncertainty the training of smaller number of EAs to expand your network.

You need to stick to the concept of SFI BASICS to build your SFI business on the right foundation:

- Maintaining your EA status

- Sponsoring new affiliates

- Teaching them the same three steps

When you sponsor hundreds of new PSAs you’re providing fresh supplies of affiliates in your organization to be trained and build as well as expand your team.

You must however manage your time efficiently in order to fulfill these tasks and the responsibilities that come with them.

The main key is, you need to focus on duplication which involves both activities to ensure a solid profitable SFI business.

Dear Ryan
1. It is a nice and important question as your strategy is based on this very fact. In my opinion recruiting hundreds or thousands of PSA is very important. It is good to keep recruiting them on a regular basis, as you may never know when you might come across a diamond among the rock of stones.

2. In fact you should use all the ways to have more PSAs by advertising on cheap or no cost advertising websites including social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, BizOppers, Swom, ebay, Amazon, Google+ etc.

3. You can buy some PSAs through S-Builder Program having a Standing Order. That way you are sure to get some PSAs along with assured VPs.

4. Another good goal should be to buy PSAs to go whenever you have some extra fund to boost your SFI business.

5. Your goal should also be to recruit as many PSAs as possible using Safe List, Text Ad Exchanges, Traffic Exchanges, Blogs etc.

6. Why I am against teaching few Eas is the fact that all of them may not like to follow your instructions due to the reasons best known to them only. They may have financial constraints too. It is rightly said, “You can lead a horse to the river, but cannot make it to drink water”

Hope you agree with my reasons
Cheers !!
Happy sponsoring……..

Hello Ryan,

Thanks for asking a great question.

"What would be a better goal and why? Sponsor hundreds of new PSAs every year or teach a smaller number of EAs to each develop EAs themselves?"

In my opinion, quality is always better than quantity. That said, a better goal is to teach smaller numbers of EAs to each develop EAs themselves. Then take that a step further and teach your EAs how to become Team Leaders and how to develop Team Leaders themselves.

Why? Because, it's all about creating duplication and leverage in your team, and one of the best ways to accomplish this is by supporting your hard working EAs and Team Leaders.

A great way to get the ball rolling with team building is by using the Reassignment Tool in your Genealogy. The best explanation I've found for using the Reassignment Tool can be found at https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/AskGery01190.

Gook luck to you and I hope this answer helps.

Hi Ryan, I think there is just only one way to get people under you in SFI; and that is by sponsoring. To teach a small number of EAs as you said will start with sponsoring them first. Only when they become your PSAs that you can now talk of teaching or helping them to achieve EA status. So your goal should be sponsoring. The following are ways through which you can acquire new PSAs:

1. Get new PSAs from Pricebender auctions.
2. Buy PSAs from tripleClicks PSAs TO GO.
3. Set up S-Builder coop for your team to get new PSAs.
4. Get new PSA sign-up through TripleClicks direct referral program.

When they come in, the next thing to do is to teach and mentor them for productivity:

1. See your team members as your colleagues and not your sub-ordinate, therefore don't be too pushy.
2. Hash words should not proceed from your mouth to your team members at anytime, especially inactive ones.
3. Give them enough independence on running their own business, your words to them should always be advisory in nature.
4. Lead by example, be doer of what you want your team members to do.
5. Try as much as possible to welcome every new member(PSAs and CSAs) to your team and initiate a chat session with them.
6. Always appreciate the effort of each of your team members e.g for being consistent every month.
7. Congratulates anyone of them that WINs in any contest e.g E365, Daily Grand, T-Time, Knock Out Trivia etc.
8. Motivate everyone to put in good effort by announcing prizes for achievement; e.g. be EA2 this month and earn 5 Tcredits etc
9. Always look at your PSAs and CSAs VPLedger page and tell them what they can do to improve themselves.
10. Always open your team members to new discoveries you have learn to help them grow.
11. Ephasize always on the use of training materials at the SFI homepage.
12. Update your blog and leadership page with encouraging words frequently, and include in every correspondence with your team members.
13. You as a leader must not give up on any of your team members no matter what
14. Finally, teach them how to do the things you do to be successful. Teach a man to fish, and you'll feed him for a lifetime.

Good luck in your business!!!

I feel that you must sponsor PSAs regularly to help you pick up EAs who will become active and then work towards building their own team. Both functions work simultaneously.

Your goal must therefore be to sponsor and support and when this happens you get a balance of achieving both goals.

If your goal is to sponsor 5 PSAs each year then you are limiting your EAs to 5 or less. However, if you sponsor 500 PSAs in one year, your chances of having more EAs are higher than 5. There is no guarantee, however that in the 500 you will get more than 5 EAs but the probability is high. Having said that, if you sponsor 5 PSAs, you can also have 5 active EAs who will develop their own team. Therefore, you will need to consider the manner in which you have sponsored your EAs and where they are coming from. Other peripheral factors come into play in determining whether the PSAs will become EAs or not.

Once you understand that you are in this business to build a strong team (foundation) under you which means "duplication", that is where your core interest should lie. Thereafter your work to support and help your PSAs takes you to the next stage of your business expansion. Both goals overlap and you cannot ignore one and pursue the other.

I believe you should try to achieve both goals: teach your active EAs to develop their own teams and continue to sponsor hundreds of affiliates. This is why:

If you already have a small number of active EAs you can teach them to duplicate your actions until you feel they are ready to take on greater responsibilities. Once they show their commitment, you can reward them by transferring some of your active affiliates to their team so that they can become Team Leaders and reap the benefits of their new rank. Having active EAs on their team will also motivate them to find and develop more EAs of their own.

Turning your active EAs into Team Leaders not only motivates them, it also gives you the freedom to continue sponsoring hundreds of new PSAs, among which you will very likely find more active EAs. Depending on the commitment of these new EAs, you can decide which ones have the ability to become Team Leaders and which ones should be reassigned or transferred to one of your top Team Leaders.

The ultimate aim is to grow your team as much as possible and then channel your resources in order to motivate and reward the few who show the most promise.

Hi Ryan,
1. We all are aware that out hundreds of PSAs sponsored by us,we will be lucky to get around 10 of them who would be active & appear in the ‘Movers’ list.
Your question can be answered considering two stages:-
A) Stage -1:-
This is the initial stage where you go about sponsoring through verbal,social media, SFI gateways,your own blogs,Prestige custom domain gateways,personal domains etc.
At this stage your goal should be to sponsor a maximum number of fresh PSAs.Out of the sponsored affiliates,once you get a reasonable number of active PSAs (say 5 to 10 of them) who are sincere and dedicated in logging in & carrying out the daily tasks and earning a minimum of 1500 VPs per month to reach the EA level,you can proceed to the next stage.
B) Stage-2.
Please remember that at this stage you have already have a minimum of 5 to 10 active, performing EAs. Now is the ideal time for counseling and training this limited number of performing PSAs in the art of duplication. You have to go all out “tooth & nail” bucking & encouraging these fellow affiliates of yours to sponsor more affiliates under their down line. These will in due time increase your earnings indirectly!
2. As many of us have experienced,these active ones known as ’movers’may decide to take a ‘nap’ all of a sudden even after sufficient motivation/encouragement from their respective sponsors.
3. As & when you arrive at this cross-road, you will have to re-switch to Stage-1 for recruiting more affiliates. Hence,it’s a question of recycling from one stage to another as the situation demands
Finally,to summarize, both of these goals are required but at different stages.

Happy Sponsoring! Wish you all the best

Recruiting hundreds of new PSAs each year is a great goal so long as you are able to cope with SPONSORING them: teaching them, encouraging and motivating them.

Not all those who you recruit will be active PSAs and we all know that a large percentage of them will do nothing. Recruiting can be an expensive activity, financially and time wise, so there is a need to strategize to achieve your goals.

I recommend that you look for those workers who will become EAs or higher and will work on duplication to develop EAs themselves. To find these, you may have to initially recruit and sponsor hundreds of PSAs each year.

When you have found these people (EA) you can reduce your level of PSA recruiting and really concentrate on working with them. You will of course still carry on with PSA recruiting & sponsoring not only to continue building your team but also to replace those EAs that leave SFI or drop off the active list.

So to answer your question, I would say one is no better than the other. Its a matter of strategising. Find those EA by initial massive recruiting and then focus on those EA for duplication purposes.

Hello! Great question!

My answer to you is BOTH are great goals and should be part of your daily business activities.

First...You should sponsor a lot of new PSAs every year because this is network marketing...and it is a numbers game! The more people you sponsor, the greater the number of future EAs you will find. People come and go because "life happens". You may have an EA who stops working for months and you will need someone to fill that spot so that you can maintain your residual income.

Second...You should teach EAs to develop EAs themselves. This is how we make money. If your EAs don't make money, they will not continue working. They need to develop a strong team for themselves, just as you need to do for yourself, so that all of you can create a residual income that will last all of you a lifetime! Isn't that why we joined this great company?

Hope this answer helps!
