Hi Robert,
Our downlines should be taught that successful business people do spend some money before they can get profits or at least break even. No business entities operate without putting in some money or capital forefront. Secondly, make it clear that a main purpose of SFI business is also to get profits. A combination of some investments, hardworking and smart management will trigger faster result. As we all know, any business needs four main factors. These factors are entrepreneur (owner), capital
(machine or money ), labour and land.
In SFI, you act as an owner to determine your way of building up the business, you are the labour ( the worker) and you need the land ( place to carry out your task). So ask your downlines where are the capital? Four main factors must be provided so that the entrepreneur can function effectively and smoothly. Can you go further up without spending any money? Yes, still you can but it really needs your time and energy profusely to do sponsoring and advertising.
I assume that your downlines have already attained an EA status because your question is to maintain that status but not by spending. Make it clear to them that every month they must accumulate at least 1500 VPs and to get that amount of VPs without spending, the most points they can get by completing daily, weekly and monthly task is as below:
Daily tasks: 450 VPs,
Weekly tasks: 152 VPs
Monthly tasks: 15VPs
They can get other points by generating sales and providing support for each personally sponsored EA2. Generating sales and getting PSAs are quite tough if it is not done by performing some advertisements and usually the advertisements require some money to be spent.
Other points from Eager Zebra Games, Auctions, Member listing or TC Musics can be attained only if they have TC credits, which have to be purchased from TripleClicks. Again, money is needed.
If your downlines say that they do not care about EA status, then we understand that they are not serious. Again remind them their purpose of joining SFI. Only serious people succeed. Be serious means they must plan in advance and some steps must be followed. If they do not maintain EA status, how can they advance to greater rank with greater income ( and must come with active PSAs).
So, Robert, do not worry about being greedy or not. It’s just a feeling inside us that tends to make us feel guilty, which actually should not be. Do not say to your downlines to buy certain products to maintain EA, but tell them what other successful leaders have done. Duplication is one of the keys to success in SFI.
Hope this will help.
