I'm fortunate and blessed to be one of those TLs. SFI is a team business which means that no one individual is responsible for a "huge" downline. However, there's a few things you can do to position yourself to have such a business...
1) I strongly recommend you focus on learning to generate and convert your own leads. Your ability to build lead systems will greatly increase your chances of building a business with tens of thousands of Affiliates.
2) Co-oping with your PSAs is a great way to leverage your own advertising skills and start building depth. Leverage is important!
3) Building depth through duplication is a critical part to having a large group. Duplication does NOT mean that every Affiliate does everything exactly like their upline. This is a myth! Duplication is a commitment to the business building process using one or more of the hundreds of systems and tools available. After almost 30 years, 20+ years full-time, in this type of business I have NEVER seen 100% duplication in any group or company.
4) Keep your system simple so your Affiliates can emulate some or all of your efforts.
OK, here's the real secret to building a group numbering in the tens of thousands. The secret is momentum! You need to put enough effort into building your Affiliate group that momentum sets in and suddenly your group is growing beyond your span of control. There's no magic to this business and there's no reason why you can't have a group in the tens of thousands. You just need to put forth sustained and ever increasing effort over a long period of time. Sticking with it is the hard part!
