How do I assure that duplication happens in those I sponsor?

Sorry to say that unless you have personal contact with your Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSA) so that you can physically twist their arms to assure that they get out there and recruit someone else, there is no way to "assure" that duplication occurs.

The best that you can do via email is use sweet reason to persuade them to do someting. If you offer the proper education and encouragement to them, you might be able to up your chances that they will duplicate a bit, but the desire must be there for you to awaken it. The person must be willing to advertise or buy the referrals in order to duplicate.

I have found no difference between affiliates that have come from my personal efforts and those that have come from purchased sources. If they do not catch the vision and want to do something with this business, they will not duplicate. There is no way that you can force them. To expect that every PSA and CSA will duplicate is a BAD idea and will set yourself up for a bad experience.

If you get 1 in 100 who duplicates, consider yourself lucky and help that person as much as you can. People who will work the business are out there, but you must find them. Sorry to say that my sponsor dropped out...

Hi Khalil,

You can only ensure duplication if the affiliates you sponsor are willing to learn and apply what they learn. Few will, but those who show even a spark of interest are the ones you need to focus on and spend more time with, in order to teach them how and why duplication works.

Duplication is an easy enough concept to understand, but in practice it takes some work and a bit of luck, which is why your role as a teacher and adviser is so important. You will need to explain the basics and benefits of duplication to your active affiliates and point out the different methods they can use to find affiliates of their own.

You'll also need to keep them motivated and focused, because it may take some time for them to find active affiliates. In order to do this, you can suggest they review the compensation plan and benefits chart to make sure they know how important it is to maintain their EA rank.

You can also suggest they visit the earnings calculator to see what sort of money they can earn when they finally find active affiliates of their own. Let them discover for themselves how lucrative having an active team can be. In short, do your utmost to convince them that they will eventually be able to find their own active affiliates, just as you found them.

Once they finally have one or more active affiliates of their own, remind them that it is now their turn to take on the role of teacher. They can still count on you, but it is important that they begin to teach their new affiliates what they have learned, so that the duplication process can continue.

I hope this is helpful.

Start by analyzing your own efforts. Are you approaching SFI the right way? List what you do to succeed in SFI then share that list with your team.

Teach your team SFI basics and as you grow, share with them what you are doing daily to improve. If you learn something new, share that with them.

Teach your team members to communicate with you on a regular basis. Reach out to them. Do not wait for them to reach out to you. Let them know you are available if they need help. But telling them this is not enough. Look at their versa points ledger and see where they might need help and offer them help and suggestions.

When you tell them the SFI basics-keep it as simple as possible so they can in turn, teach their team members. Show them why it is good for them to become an Executive Affiliate-do not just tell them to do that. They need to understand how the SFI business works. Refer them to the Compensation plan and the Earnings calculator so they see the big picture. Show them how to achieve EA status and how to maintain it. Let them know about standing orders but also show them how they can log in daily to earn versa points, and how they can win versa points by entering the Daily Grand and the new games available in SFI.

If they are on a tight budget teach them how to buy one t credit to get 102 versa points and how 126 MRPs can be used to buy one t credit. As simple as this sounds you are teaching them how to survive when the going gets rough, especially financially. Do not assume they know. Teach them because there is a lot to learn here.

Lead by example. Show them that you are logging in daily and explain the importance of consistently logging in, not just to gain those valuable VersaPoints, but also to achieve discipline in their business dealings.

Explain why you do what you do. For example, don't just tell them to do ASK SC ratings but show them that learning on a daily basis will help them to become good leaders themselves. As they improve their leadership skills they will better understand how to teach duplication. Even more important, they will be leading by example.

if you notice that a team member is not logging in as often as they use to, find out why. Let your team understand that you care about them, not just about your own SFI business. You care that they succeed and you care about their happiness on a daily basis. They are not just business partners to you-they have become a part of your SFI family.

Remember to inspire and motivate your team members as often as possible. Try not to be stingy with praise or tangible awards. Think of what you like about your upline or about someone you hold in high esteem and make sure you treat your team members the way you would like to be treated. You do not want them to become dependent in the sense of not trying for themselves to achieve but at the same time you need to find out their needs and do your best to help them to succeed. Whatever it takes, be willing to do it for your team. If you cannot help in a particular way be honest about it, but do not ignore their questions or requests. You are building relationships with your downline. If you are here to succeed without building relationships you have joined the wrong business. Your happiness will come not just from you arriving at your destination in terms of building a successful business, but it will also come from the knowledge that you are helping others to achieve their dreams.

Duplication involves all these factors and more. When you have mastered the art of duplication you will have mastered how to live not just with your SFI family, but with others in general. Set high goals for yourself and share and teach others to strive for the same. All the best, my SFI family!

I don't think we can ever be assured that duplication will happen in those we sponsor and the proof of this is in our genealogy where most are perhaps inactive and only a few are working towards their goals. They won't all duplicate; the key is to LEAD BY EXAMPLE then try to identify those who show serious interest, those who are need encouragement and help them understand the amazing potential earnings they can achieve through duplication. I like to call this process the 3 "C"s.

1. Communication- As Team Leaders, we must reach out to those we sponsor. Remember that it can seem confusing at the start so we need to get them off to a clear start towards understanding how they will achieve their goals. This is actually a continuous process throughout their growth and even success.

2. Classification- Even though this is not a perfect science, there are times when we can identify those that show genuine interest. For instance through accumulation of VP, ordering of W3 Kit or even just confirming registration is another good sign. This shows their interest in SFI and then you as their sponsor can offer more detailed tips to ensure they are on the right track to duplication.

3. Co-op Advertising- Feel free to give your PSA a nudge by including them in a a co-op you may be running. Having just a few extra PSAs coming their way can be an encouraging catalyst for their increased effort at duplication.

It is important to keep the lines of communication open so that those you sponsor will always feel supported and motivated to tap into SFIs gem....DUPLICATION!

"How do I assure that duplication happens in those I sponsor?"

Be sure you train each and everyone the same way.

Keep communication open for this is a big factor. Call them, skype them, whatever it takes to help them. If they are local then meet with them and hold a meeting(s).

It is just like training people at a regular work place.

Be sure they keep a notebook to list any questions they may have that they need answered. They may forget otherwise.

Be patient with them and nurture them. Treat them like a plant that needs nurturing for they do need this.

Build youtube videos if you must in order to give them samples.

Do your best and they will Follow your lead.

Most of all be honest and be there for them!

See you at the top!

Hi Khalil,

This is very important aspect of SFI Business - 'Duplication' - and all affiliates by now as they go through their training and who have surpassed their training period should know the importance of duplication.
Whom you sponsor becomes your down line and is part of your team and your success is when they succeed. This is a chain system where every one succeeds if they do duplication even your PSA's will have a team of their own in time to come and they will have to teach their down line duplication.

How you can assure duplication happens in your down line:
# be an example do what you want your down line to do.
# send T-Mail, E-Mail, E-Cards to your down line to encourage and help them.
# answer any questions that your down line asks you.
# be patient with yourself and them.
# do not force them but allow them to make choices when and how to do their SFI business.

You do your part the very best you can and sponsor more affiliates and build your team,there will be 'one in a thousand' who will do as you do , one day rest be assured in these that you will succeed no matter what.

Hope the very best for you.

Duplication happens in those who work. Not everyone you sponsor will be willing to do the work it takes to build a business.

Those who are wanting to actually build a business will be paying attention to what you are doing through your communication with them. If you are sending group messages each week and you are active, they will see it when they login. SFI shows your sponsors name, rating, and number of badges beside at the top of the page.

If you have 1 or 2 badges, your downline will probably not place value on having badges themselves. If you have several badges, your downline will see that also and want to match or exceed your badges.

People tend to imitate what they see. Show them how to work the business and those who are willing to work will duplicate your actions.

All the best!

While there is no guarantee that all of those that you sponsor will duplicate your actions, there will be some who do. The answer to building a great business in SFI is to continue to sponsor until you have a core team of maybe 5 PSAs in your team who are willing to work. If you support these workers they in turn will follow your lead and duplication will be created.

Once you have your core team in place continue sponsoring but allocate these new PSAs to your team to help them get their 5 core team members. Once your initial Core team is working well and largely independent of you then start to build a second team of 5 thus duplicating your own actions with the second, third, forth teams....you get the picture

Do not be disappointed that all your PSAs do not go ahead: only a small percentage do, but you can improve that statistic by being the very best sponsor you can be

I think you need to be friends with your downlines first. Because to get anyone to follow what you say and do, that person need to trust you first. After all, you will not follow just anyone, right? That is why some people say get your friends and family to join SFI too if they're interested. It's easier for the duplication.

How to get them to trust you and how to be friends? Well, if your downlines are in the same country, give them a call. Nothing too pushy. Just to let them know you are a real person and not a computer generated something that emails them. That is step one. Letting them know you are real.

Next, maybe in your weekly emails, be country specific. Search for ECAs in their country and let them know these ECAs exist. But be very careful about asking them to buy stuff from these ECAs. You don't know how well off your downlines are and it might put them off. I guess maybe that's why we get complaints about uplines trying to sell stuff to their donwlines. Just a misunderstanding, methinks.

Lead by example. Become an EA yourself before asking your downlines to become an EA. After that, aim for BTL. Buy groceries from TripleClicks and rave about them. Participate in the games and let your downlines know about these games.

But I think first off, to ensure duplication, build trust.
