Leading a team can be complicated especially when there is so much to learn here at SFI. The good news is that SFI created an excellent training program that takes a person step by step through everything they need to know. The bad news is that most people don't have the patience to go through the training.
The first step to leading your team through the confusion is to find out how they were recruited. Where did they find the ad for SFI? If the person found the ad on a traffic exchange that contains many online business opportunities, there is a good chance that he/she was looking for something quick and easy that will produce money right away. At the very least, the number of ads that promote free and easy money on those exchanges work against us because of the expectations of those who click on our ads.
If the person is expecting a free and easy way of making money, your first goal should be to show how SFI is not that kind of business. Once you get beyond the initial shock of this being different, the person can settle down and start learning. Unfortunately, most people who are expecting a free and easy way to make money drop out after they realize that we actually work for our commissions.
However, for those who decide to hang around and try to understand SFI, my best advice is to encourage them to stick with the bare minimum for as long as it takes to get used to the business. Pick 1 or 2 key areas to focus on (daily tasks, PB Auctions, Eager Zebra games, etc) and don't add anything else until they master what they have already learned.
Most of all, slowing down is the best way to learn anything. In our fast past world, we pride ourselves on the ability to achieve success overnight, but overnight success usually doesn't happen until after several years of work has been going on behind the scenes. Once the people understand this, they will be able to have the patience to learn before they earn.
