I personally would never ask a new affiliate to slow down. Thats like asking a 100 yard dash man to slow down because you do not want him to win yet. I encourage a new affiliate to get Team Leader right away so they have a good feeling about SFI. Once they are there then you work with them the next month and the next month to help them keep going. I would like to see them make Platinum and make big money. Do not discourage them by saying SLOW DOWN.
