There are many benefits to running contests. It will help both the downline affiliate as well as YOU!

Motivating your team will help them move up in ranks or become better affiliates (depending on your rewards and qualifications for the contest) and will keep them interested in SFI. Maintaining interest can be difficult for some people, so sometimes they need that extra "push."

If you keep them interested and working, especially if they maintain EA status or above,

The biggest benefit of contests is that if they are carefully crafted they

There are a lot of benefits of organising a contest for your downlines. But the most important is how to get them to participate in those contests. Sometimes they are not even aware that a contest is on-going. Hence you as a Leader, should be proactive is promoting those contests.

Hello,

There are several good benefits to organizing a contest for your downline. You get to keep them actively engaged here in SFI wanting to do more and more everyday. You push them to the best of their abilities. By pushing them to be the best, you also push yourself to be the best by wanting more than what you're doing right now.

I think the benefits of organizing a contest for your Down-line would be as follows

1) Gives them the chance to win prizes, points, memberships, etc
2) Great way to reward your down-line team
3) Shows them you care about their success
4) Allows you to be in contact with your members in a giving way
5) As well as gives them an idea for having one for their own business, in other words it is displaying duplication, its working for your Leader so why not do it yourself

I believe one of the greatest things you can do is introduce an opportunity for a challenge. Every person, I believe, wants a reason to be challenged. The contests simply provide a chance for people to see a goal; to see a desired destination and go after it - with a prize to follow.

I believe that friendly competition breeds excitement and purpose. When people are involved in a level of competition, they all of a sudden have a special portion of purpose - to get to the desired destination.

The benefits of organizing a contest for your downline mainly come when you get consensus as to what your affiliates would benefit from most. So why not take a poll among your affiliates and ask them what type of contest would they like to see? When contest become interactive and dynamic they can truly achieve greater activity percentage, a heightened sense of teamwork and foster some team pride. You can even use them to build the morale of your network when done in a way that promotes goodwill.
