Hi Sharon!
If you have a large active downline, you must also be active. SFI has provided us tools to use. You can use your Genealogy to filter your downline. You can reduce pressure by reassigning your team members to those who are more active. You can do this in many ways according to your team.
You can filter your team according to:
>> Countries and reassign them to their country's Team Leaders,
>> Languages and reassign them to their language Team Leaders,
>> New affiliates and reassign them to those with few downline, etc.
As it is said that if you want to succeed you must help enough people to succeed. By reassigning your team members, you will be helping each and everyone in your team to succeed and reducing pressure to yourself. That is why it is called a 'Team'. You are a team, you must work as a team and share responsibilities. This way everyone will receive personalized attention.
I hope this will help you build a strong everlasting team.
Thank you.

Communication between affiliates has never been easier. SFI has several ways in which it facilitates this. Starting with the Genealogy, this is a smart way to single out your "active" downlines and movers from those affiliates who are waiting to be pushed to work. From here you are able to collectively send one message to all your movers.

Your Movers List is another area where you are provided a snapshot of affiliates who are moving your team and theirs. This covers a more personalised approach as you are able to send E-Cards to your active downlines but if you have for eg 50 active affiliates, this would mean 50 E Cards. It is not difficult to do this but it will be time consuming. I would use this as one of the options when I have time at my disposal. This is a good way to motivate your downlines and ensure that they remain active.

Whitelisting email addresses becomes even more important as your team will expand and you can use this for messages you think are as urgent as they are important-though keep in mind that SFI also forwards general messages to all the affiliates especially if they are subscribed to the SFI News.

A more personalised approach would be to chat through SFIM but keep in mind that with the different time zones you may not be able to connect with all affiliates when you decide to. Skype, for me also remains a useful tool to rely on as you can discuss and leave messages for your affiliates when appropriate.

Hello and thanks for asking the questions.

Since its two questions I will start with the first one.

Its a good thing to have active downlines but managing them is surely a different thing. Here:

1. To manage your large team you need to communicate with them, always be ready to give them your attention. Response to their mails and chat is very important in other to have a good relationships with them.

2. No active downline is too large to manage when there is teamwork. ensure you use your PSA reassigning tool adequately. Assuming you have a downline that includes 10STL, 20BTL, 50 BTL and hundreds dereds of affiliates, you can resign PSAs to the VERY SERIOUS Team leaders so there will be division of labour.

NB: No insensitive is lost on any affiliate you reasign as long as you remain a Team Leader yourself.

3. You may not have answers to all questions asked by your team but ensure you encourage them to be part of the Forum talks that relates to their questions as many affiliates with same challenge in the past will be there to help out.

Now to provide a personalized attention for them, here:

1. Use the geology. mail to send messages to team members

2. Use ecards for individual for a particular need or tips to encourage them.

3. Organize webinars for each levels of leaders in your team once in a month. For example
1st week for all PTLs and GTLs
2nd week for all STLs and BTLs
3rd week for all EA2s and Affiliates.
This way you have created a personalised attention for them.

4. Its good news with Follow the team leader in forum. Send the links of your posts in forum to them so they can read.

5. Setup contest in various level, this one personalised way of getting your teams attention.

So this way you will be able to manage your large active team and as well as getting their attention, I hope this helps.

Cheers

I find the filters built into the Genealogy Report the best way to send targeted messages to groups of affiliates. Example: I can send congratulations to all affiliates who have gained versa points this month, have become EA this month, or to send a Welcome Message to all the new affiliates today, etc.

Sometimes a message to one affiliate is necessary because that person has asked a specific question and I want to show them personal attention. I always respond to all requests for help.

My recommendation is to make use of the Genealogy filters as much as possible because it will save you lots of time.

Let's assume not just thousands. Imagine you have more than 100,000+ new PSAs signing up daily. That's amazing. You must be rich by then. But you may worry how to manage them.

Don't worry! SFI has everything in place, a place for everything and solutions for every problem.

1. The best tool to manage is here https://www.sfimg.com/Reports/Genealogy

2. Once you have filtered, send team mail/group mail using the group mailing tool provide in the same screen. That can send all your directions, instructions, guiding principles in the mail to every PSA at once, with just one action.

3. Use the reassignment tab to your downline EAs and let them do the job.

Don't worry even if there are millions coming in next day.

A very good general query particularly meant for affiliates or team leaders with very large, active down-line affiliates.

I very clearly and truly intend to agree with affiliate members or TLs who think and say that managing so many active affiliates under so many generation levels is a tedious and difficult task, which saps a lot of mental and physical energy apart from the need to possess lots and lots of patience and tolerance. It is only under such circumstances that various management methods and techniques has to be learnt and applied to overcome such problems.

There may be several methods and techniques which can be applied to such a problem or issue but I intend to put forth here-in-below, what I think is the best for the benefit of all the team leaders. What one has to do is to draw or set-up a line or benchmark on various parameters for the affiliates to achieve independently by their own efforts. Once we do that, the managing part would become very facile and easy. Only thing one has to do is to regularly watch the development or growth of each and every affiliate down under and note down their achievements.

We can leave the affiliates who have crossed the benchmark level and only concentrate of the affiliates who are below the benchmark. If one remembers the early days of SFI life, there is a rule in SFI - always stay above the green/blue/red line. It is just like that. We have to provide help to these affiliates who may require it and may be awaiting for the help to come.
We have to enquire or find out what the problem or issue is and try to find the remedy, give them proper directions to overcome it and show or redirect them on to the correct path. Moreover, we must clearly let them know that this is only one time help for such problem hence it is quite necessary for all of them to learn how to overcome it on their individual and independent efforts in future.

A small/little help at the correct time would give them all a lot of confidence and satisfaction to move forward. Not only that, all of them will be faithfully following the team leader forever who extends timely help which is a clear-cut case of making a positive impression among all the needy affiliates.

I usually adopt the above technique and I have always succeeded by adopting it. When I always succeed I do not see why others would not?? Just try it once or twice and see/watch the results yourselves.

At this point in time I would assume that you personally do not have a large active down-line. Well neither do I so I am in the same boat as you are right now.

I am the kind of person who thinks too much about doing things that hasn’t happened yet. I guess I am always trying to be ready if something does happen. The thought of having a really large team of active affiliates has had me a bit concerned in the past.

But the beauty of SFI and TripleClicks home based business is that it is not a get rich quick system therefor I know that by the time my team has grown as big as you may be indicating I will already be trained in how to manage my huge team.

As your team gets larger over the year or years you will be ending up with Team Leaders on your front line. You know what? Those team leaders will be taking care of their own personal teams and you will not have to be concerned about it.

That is the fantastic rewards of duplication you are a team leader with a few team leaders on your front line. You are taking care of your “leaders” while they are taking care of their personal groups. Therefor your entire team is being managed.

With the personalization needed only when you are contacted directly by others in your group.

In other words when your team is has grown too large for you to give personal help to everyone then you put your effort in only helping those who are contacting you. Everyone in your group that contacts you needs your personal reply.

You will have to be polite but brief and stick to the quickest answers which can include directing them to their Team Leader sponsor or to a link in the SFI training.

I have learned to look at it this way – with the training I am getting from the forum and ASK SC I know that without a doubt by the time my team is that big I will be more than qualified to handle the magnitude of it all.

You will learn as I; that you will cross that bridge when you get there, and the path to that bridge has already been laid by those who went before us so let us at this time stick to following the well laid yellow brick road to our empire.

It's everyone's dream here to have a large and active downline,right?For sure.It will provide you then many,many benefits.


I suggest you to start fulfilling that dream here:
https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=191295

Read all the "Do's" and "Don't's" (if you haven't already).
It is great start for everyone to realize how to become an awesome sponsor.

Plus this one (rules of success):
https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/Index


Besides that there's something else that you can do.

1. organize meetings.Whether it will be live meetings (if you are from the same area),or online meetings (if you are from different countries or continents).When organizing meetings,then it's chance for all your affiliates to meet others from your downline (or even upline).When people interact among themselves they feel more "secure",greater feeling of togetherness and eventually more happy and satisfied.

2. organize so called "webinars".It actually online seminars.Invite all your downline members at a certain time (say,Sunday evening when most people are free,at 7 p.m.).Connect online and discuss subjects and/or issues with SFI.Share your opinions and experiences.Let the new members ask questions and give answers to them.What I've said for meetings applies here too.

3. make your own forum or website.The place where your team can see how you're working and what you're working.And place where you can also interact with them (like forum).

4. encourage them to contact you anytime they feel necessary.When they know you are available for them (almost) anytime,then it will make stronger connections among you.


However,even with all your efforts,you can not provide attention literally to each of the members of your team.Nor you have to.You'll need more then superhuman abilities for it.

...but that's why you'll have your team leaders (or future team leaders).They will "monitor" your downline or at least part of it.That's good both for you and for them - you can't actually babysit them forever,they need to get experienced too.And to become what you have become already (platinum team leader,as I see).

It is not so tedious as it may appear. As we organize our daily schedule by segregating the tasks into need to do, must do and should do.

Similarly, you should divide your affiliates in various categories like
Self starter, Push starter and non-starters.

Thereafter, you need to check their stage at which they are, specially those who are active.

Devise a plan for each and provide the learning material that may interest that particular category. This way you would be able to pay attention to all of them and provide what at that stage is needed for them.

Right kind of support at the right time is the key to their success.

Hope this helps.

We've read this time and again that your PSAs are the backbone of your SFI business. Having said that, I know from experience that if you are truly passionate about the backbone of your business (in this case your PSAs), it becomes natural rather than obligatory.

And yes it may seem like hard work writing a personalized email or response to all your affiliates, but, remember you don't have to do this all the time; this is something you have to do every now and then.

If you take this personally (like myself), and you view it more like your job description rather than like you're doing them a favor, it becomes easy and you may manage to provide personalized, tailored support to your downline!
