We all have different ambitions, abilities and different level of resources.
It would be unwise to hold back someone who is ambitious and has the ability and resources to advance through the Team Leadership level. It would be just as unwise to urge through the levels someone who is yet to learn the business, hasn't acquired the necessary skills as yet or the resources.
You don’t want the ambitious stifled or discouraged. Those who advance rapidly but don’t have the ability or resources I find, tend to drop down after the second month in SFI. They get frustrated, or lose heart and then abandon working the business or leave SFI.
I believe the key is to be explicitly honest with them right from the word go.
I tell them very early that in the 1st and the 2nd months in SFI, they can make EA easily. After that the going can be tough to achieve or maintain EA and TL levels if they don’t strategies and prepare for them.
I refer them to the Benefits Chart and explain to them the VP requirements for each level and also the consequences of losing their EA or TL ranks. The drive therefore is to acquire, preferably exceed, the necessary VPs for the rank they aspire to, month after month.
I tell them that ones they have used up the readily available VP at the homepage they will have to collect VP from elsewhere – TC games & contests, sales, sponsoring others, daily to do activities etc.. They therefore need to start promoting TripleClicks and recruiting affiliates to sponsor as early as possible. Even if they don’t know what to do, as their sponsor I would help them.
My intentions are to make sure that they fully understand what advancing to Team Leader means and the consequences of failing to maintain that level, e.g. the loss of CSA etc... I applaud their efforts and will always be encouraging and supportive but I believe that it would be unwise of me to tell them to slow down or speed up.
The businesses are theirs and they are the ones to make the decisions regarding where go with their businesses and how quickly they get there.
