It is evidenced that providing financial support to one's team members, by investing in them, may be useful in helping them growth their business faster.
But, it is far from being the only effective mean for guiding them to success. Nor is it necessarily the best. It is certainly not the most constantly used to encourage affiliates to be active and productive.
In fact, as sponsors, our role is, first and foremost, defined as friend, and mentor. Our job is to establish a one-on-one business relationship with our PSAs.
We achieve such goal of being an effective sponsor by following the established guidelines.
Among the suggested sponsoring support that has direct link with investing funds on an affiliate, we find:
- Offering incentives, such as free leads, and SFI Gift Certificate, etc. to encourage affiliates to accumulate VersaPoints and become an Executive Affiliate.
- Adding them to the S-Builder Co-op we may have set for our own advertisement.
- Helping them qualify for the Silver and Gold Fast Tracks.
- Rewarding contest winners with worthwhile prizes that keep them interested in take part in those contests in the future while they also get the benefits of building their businesses.
To reach the same intended results, there are numerous ways to substitute other activities and forms of support..
Instead of free leads and/or membership to our S-Builder co-op, we can re-assign some of our sign-ups to the affiliate we want to help.
Instead of gift certificates, we can direct the affiliate to undertake the sales activities that will help them score enough Sales VersaPoints that will qualify them as Executive affiliate while they are earning commissions.
We should educate them on the alternative ways to qualify for Gold Fast Track, using the second chance options available to affiliates who miss the deadlines of the first ten days, after joining SFI.
More importantly, what provides true lasting benefits is the trust we build with our affiliate. When we create that special rapport, bond and friendship, our PSA will feel understood, valued, and cared for. They will know that we have their best interest in mind. They will be responsive to our guidance; they will use our tips. They will take our advice to focus on sales and sponsoring.
They will be highly active to their own benefits and ours.
