The use of a Co-op is a great tool in the growth of your down-line as well as the down-line belonging to your team members.
I read the suggested Co-op Manager ideas from SFI under the Power-Tools Tab and opted to do the following:
I chose to purchase several units/shares of the S-Builder Co-op and then share sign-ups with members in my down-line. I chose to do this as my down-line members assist with my business growth and earnings; therefore, this is simple way to make an investment back into them.
I am mindful of the quote that Zig Ziglar states in all of his books and presentations, "You will get what you want by helping as many people as you can to get what they want". Consciously, I review every month what the activity level of down-line members looks like and then I simply sign-up affiliates under my team's co-op. Once they are signed in, I send each person a Team Mail informing them of what I have done and simply request that they be the best they can be every day to lead their down-line members to do their best with owning a SFI business. It is that simple.
I did initially try to have EA2 down-line members send e-mails expressing interest to receive sign-ups through a Co-op but two things happened: 1. no one was coming forward to celebrate their personal best when becoming an EA2, and 2. no growth was being shared as all the S-Builder units were only benefiting me-no one else. Thus, I decided to change my business practice to simply recognize good work by signing-up down-line members to receive sign-ups/new affiliates without their permission.
Personally, this is how I create meaningful connections with my down-line members as they work every day to invest time in their SFI; subsequently, their efforts are investing in my SFI business too. So I decided to sign-up different down-line members every month to receive down-line members from team Co-op.
To get down-line members to participate in a Co-op can be done in a variety of ways so please do consider the different ways - and be creative, as there will be something that will fit how you run your SFI business. Setting up a Co-or or more than one will benefit everyone.
