The team mail, stream and your team members email (if it has been registered).

Using all 3 of these venues will provide you the means to send your team members your motivational words. Words of congratulations and words of encouragement.

I, myself, use the team mail multiple times a week. Not just the 1 time to gain the VP. The same goes with the stream messages that I post for my team members. If you have given your email to your team members, you will find that some of

Within the forum, you will see members posting questions or posting their advice.

So you, yourself, could learn from the answers given in reply to the question or from the advice. You can also ask your own questions and see the advice given.

The other side is to have resources for your team members when they have questions. You can direct them to the links of specific forum dialogues to provide the guidance they are looking for.

If I only have one hour a day to spend on SFI, what should I spend this limited time doing?

I would suggest that you:

1- Complete your daily, weekly and monthly tasks
2- Advertise some TripleClick products that draw your attention.
3- Have a daily topic picked and take a few minutes to read the lesson or thread.
4- Check on all of your stats IE: Your Acct, Hit Tracking, Genealogy
5- If you feel comfortable with your knowledge of AskSc questions, jump on in and help fellow SFI'ers with answers to their questions.

The above is a basic outline of my

First off, I would find out exactly why they feel they have been demoted.

2nd, take a look at their activity IE: VP ledger, profile etc. Take notes from what you see. The next step would to open a good dialogue with them. Suggest improvements they can make. Let them know if they are missing out on actions to collect the VP.

3rd, continue to support them. Let them know that a business is not built overnight. They will have times where they will fail. This is a part

This is a question that many of us have. I, myself, have 1500 team members and only 5 to 6 are active.

What I suggest is to provide your new sign ups with proper guidance and motivation. Let them know what they will be able to achieve building their business within SFI. All of the perks that they can receive by being dedicated and committed to their business and team.

In the end, it will be up to your new sign up to make the decision to log in on a daily basis and work

First, be honest with your team members. Let them know that SFI is a business. It will take time to build your business from the ground up. SFI is not a get rich quick scheme. It will take time and effort.

2nd, Ensure that your team members know that you will be there to help guide them along. Make sure to provide your team with information that will help move them in the direction of success. Direct them to the SFI Basics, The Launch Pad, and Internet 2.0 classes. Forward links

How can I earn 1000 AVP for the status of BTL if I do not have any team members yet?

Hello there, attaining BTL is my goal every month as well. This is what I do to achieve my BTL status every month.

Your Daily actions can provide you with 15VP, which is 450VP for a 30 day month.

Weekly actions provide you 20VP/ week, that is 80VP and 83VP if you submit 3 messages via the Stream.

The monthly actions provide you 20VP.

So, in total, that is 550VP. Now, we are going off of a 30 day month, this means that we will need an additional 450VP.

1 of the many great things about SFI, is the interaction a person can have with fellow team members all over the world. The 1 downfall of using the translator, is that it might not help you in getting your exact message out there. What we may type in English and translate to, lets say, Spanish. It may be perceived by the Spanish speaking individual differently than what you intended.

Participating in the Native Language Forum for any individual will help create understanding and comfort.

As we all know, there is a lot of information that is at our fingertips. I give the advice to my team members to:

1-Focus on their Daily tasks (The To-Do-List).

2-Check their VP Ledger to ensure that they haven't overlooked any tasks and miss out on the valuable VP's.

3-Do to the possibility of being overwhelmed by all of the information, I advice my team members to pick one subject to learn on or read and concentrate on this. The next day pick another topic.

"How do you know if you are capable of building a successful SFI business?"

I feel that this really depends on an individuals ambitions.

Is the person willing to spend the time to build their team, help guide others and learn the business?

Everyone needs to realize, whether you have computer/internet experience or not, that SFI has all of the training that a person will need. So, this in fact, will allow a person to be successful in building their business.
