Hi Dalitso!

Different people have different opinions. If I understand the term, it says “Team Leader” meaning someone who provides direction, instructions and guidance to a group of individuals, who can also be known as a team, for the purpose of achieving a certain goal.
I think the best time to upgrade your rank from EA to Team Leader is when you have those active people to lead.

SFI gives us the three steps. It says:
Step1. Become an Executive Affiliate (EA)

Hi Mary!
The most important thing in anything that you do is understanding. When you understand what you are doing and why you are doing it, you do it great.

What I do to help my PSAs to be team leaders is helping them:
1. To understand what is SFI and how SFI works. SFI Basics.
2. What is a Team Leader, what it needs to be a Team Leader, how to maintain it and why they must be Team Leaders.

To do that, I help them with their training. I answer their questions

Hi Sharon!
Yes it is worthwhile to create individual, personalized welcome letters to new PSAs using information from their Affiliate Profile.
Most of the time, when you send the welcome letter, the profile is not completed yet. But you can use whatever is available. Most of the time you can see what language the PSA has chosen as a Primary Language and the country s/he comes from.
It will be worthwhile to send him/her a welcome letter in his/her language if his/her language is not

Hi Marija!
When you limit yourself, you are limiting your success.
It is better to go beyond these boundaries. SFI is a global business. It is done on online. Whether you do it in your environment or global, you will do it online. Talking to people online is the same. Whether they are in a next house or overseas, it's the same.
Language is not a problem. We have many translating programs this days.
I'm talking from my experience. When I joined SFI, I recruited about 16 of my neighbors.

Hi Marija!
There are many reasons that make it important to visit SFI forum daily. I will just state few reasons that are important to me. The badges are not a reason, they are just bonuses to decorate my profile and proof to my downline that I do participate in the forum. Your question is about the forum. I will include the Ask SC as well because they both did wonders for me.
My main reasons is that:

What can I do with affiliates who become EA in the first month and then stop, saying SFI is not what they expected?

Hi Anwar!
To be able to help your downline, you must develop friendship and trust with them. Make sure that communication channels are open while they are active.

When they stop and start saying that SFI is not what they expected, it become easy to motivate them and show them what SFI is because there is communication between you.

This is what you should have done from the moment when they join SFI to avoid such problem. So because they say this after it means it wasn't

Hi Jay-Ar
W3 and S-Builder Co-op are two different categories to be compared.
1. W3 - You join and participate by promoting TripleClicks. When successful you gain PRMs then get other benefits,
2. B-Builder Co-op - You buy shares of the advertising and the resulting and wait for your affiliate and PRMs.
You only participate in W3. In S-Builder Co-op you buy and SFI do the recruiting.
For conclusion, I'll say it is better to participate in W3. When you have money, buy shares

Hi Alvin!
There many reasons that causes this problem. Many affiliates will answer according to their experiences. I will answer according to mine.
**As we are here, we come from different backgrounds. Some people believe in quick/easy cash. When they don't get quick/easy cash, they quit. Some are lazy to read, if they have to log in and read everyday, they quit. Some don't have money for Standing orders or to make a purchase to get SVPs. Some have problems with Debit/Credit Cards. Those

Hi Jonjevic!
To answer your question is not possible since we do not know what kind of advertising you are using and where you are advertising.

Since you are still learning about SFI. I suggest that you give yourself time and learn more about SFI, TripleClicks, TripleClicks products and the places where you are advertising. It takes time to get to know the products. It takes time to develop a game plan. It takes time to figure out what marketing activities will work best for you.
