“During you first 30 days you should learn about our business using our training material in the Affiliate Center. During your second 30 days you should practice sales for TripleClicks products and form a team around the purpose of selling products” would be what I say to interested prospects.
In case your affiliate already had a successful network in some other business, chances are they know what they are doing and what they are trying to achieve a lot better than inexperienced PSA’s. In that case I would leave them to do what they want. In case your affiliate is inexperienced, you should consider what I’m about to say.
After once becoming a team leader without a team in SFI and letting it go eventually, after almost a year has passed since, I would have to say with most certainty- there is no point in becoming a team leader without a stabile team.
Having team leadership as a goal by itself is not productive. Team leadership should be a product of successful earning results for you and your members.
Perks and benefits of becoming a team leader are truly valuable, but they can not compensate investment in sales and action points required if it is coming directly from personal investment.
So, my answer is- YES, you should advice them to slow down. In fact, I would advice them like that before they reach one critical point: achieve sales at TripleClicks.
Why? Because, even if they find 5, 10, 15, 20 active people, that is still not a stabile team. A team is stabile when your first level of affiliates begins to earn more than they are investing.
Most current team leaders may not like what I would say next, because I see a lot of them talking dominantly of “generating EA/EA2” members as a key point of SFI success. I disagree with that. You don’t generate anything. Generating means doing something directly that produces results for you. You either teach your team members to become EA2 by selling products at TripleClicks, or they do that by purchasing Standing Orders or with other personal investments.
And there is a key difference in a way your members become EA2. If they become EA2 by sales, they earn. They will respect you and they will stay.
If you build a team based on Standing Order or personal investments as method of maintaining EA2, and severely neglect TripleClicks sales as a method of earning, your network will crumble sooner or later.
Your network, your PSA’s network- anyone’s network. There is no way around that, I see it happen every day.
So, rather than just focusing your work around team leadership on it’s own, focus your work in spending time with your PSA’s in showing them how to:
a. find a convertible advertising media/panels/websites
b. plan a successful paid advertising campaign
c. become a webmaster of successful business website
d. become a webmaster of successful sales website
Good luck!
