They say in network marketing that it is never about any products or any money, it is all about yourself. It is even more so about the personal connections that you make.

A lot of people make it hard and show no connections, personality and do everything like a robot. Imagine you were one of their down line. I guess most of us have had it before where we do not get our sponsors contacting us or answering back emails. It can get really frustrating and most people quit.

The way forward is to lead by example! Get social wit your new members from their very first day. This goes to prove that you are in deed a real person. Nobody likes a standard email from a company, giving it a personal touch with a few questions or maybe a bit of humor can go a long way. Remember to send out weekly support messages, and maybe even offer one on one support. Obviously this could get a bit tedious with a down-line of thousands.

Just remember that this type of business is not for everyone. As long as you are doing your utmost best to teach and train your team then you will eventually find the takers. Do not let a few bad apples destroy your faith. It is a game of numbers, you just gotta get to the right ones first.

Hope you do well with this advice, good luck and happy team building

There is no way to assure that everyone you sponsor will duplicate in your business, but you can do the following to help:

- Complete your daily, weekly and monthly tasks.

- Participate at TripleClicks in all the games, where possible, and participate in the auctions.

- Folllow the Rules of Success and encourage your affiliates to do the same.

- Communicate with your affiliates, individually and as a team.

- Send welcome messages to new affiliates.

- Work your business every day.

By doing these things and encouraging your affiliates to do the same, some of them will eventually duplicate your activities.

How are you Khalil?

Your question has significant and far reaching implications.

Sponsoring and successfully teaching duplications are vital to our SFI Businesses.
They are what make our efforts worthwhile, and our achievements sustainable and lasting.

When we sponsor successful team leaders and they go on to duplicate our efforts, we are on our way to achieving our goals.

Among of the different ways to answer your question, I will choose one training and guideline, as well as one specific tool: "organizing contests, both outlined by SFI:

A. SFI Training and Guideline: "How to be an Awesome Sponsor".
This is one of the most important training materials we enjoy here. It is of paramount importance that we apply the strategies, the techniques and tactics as well as the wisdom offered here.

The does and don'ts listed in this training module offer great wisdom for successfully motivating our PSAs and CSAs.

B. Organizing Contests among your PSAs and CSAs
This is an efficient tool for helping your downline set periodic goals, motivating them, rewarding them and giving them the good habits that will help them be successful in their own efforts and encourage them to duplicate what you have shown them to be beneficial

It is to be highly recommended that every team leader organize such contests.

If you apply these tools and techniques, you will ensure duplication among your downline affiliates

First, especially for those who are not yet familiar with this word - let us see the meaning of "duplication" as described here https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=33335&referrer=search. Just copy-paste the link if you want, I just want to save space here.

I am sorry but your question can be of 2 things because it is not distinct so I presented 2 questions which I think was the one you really needed.

A) How will I know if my PSAs are doing duplication?
B) How can I assure myself that my PSAs will do the duplication?

Here are my asnwers.

A) It is very easy to know if your personally sponsored affiliates (PSAs) are doing duplication. Those that duplicates are more than obvious to be active affiliates. All you have to do is go to your MOVERS Tab* and a list of your active affiliates will be shown. From this list, click on the affiliate's name and you will be directed to that affiliate's profile. Under the PSA's profile, you will see the AFFILIATE MANAGER. Click on the ACTIVITY tab and you can see the activities of your PSA including how many sponsored affiliates your PSA has. The greater the number of affiliates your PSA has, the more it gives you an idea that your PSA is duplicating (take note of your PSA's sponsored EAs, BTLs, STLs, GTLs, and PTLs).** Also, if your PSAs are duplication, you will notice shortly that your earnings are getting higher because you earn from these PSAs actions, you have to remember that you will earn if your PSAs are doing duplication. In addition to that, pay attention to your VPs, you might notice that you are earning VPs even if you are not doing your daily action task, making TriplClicks sales, etc. This is because you are already earning MATCHING VPs*** from your PSAs who are already EA2s.

However, if letter "A" was not the one you are looking for, it could be letter "B".

B) If you want to assure yourself that your PSAs will do the duplication, you have to be an awesome sponsor as it was indicated here https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor?referrer=search. If you employ everything that you have learned in this training (Awesome Sponsor), you will surely find affiliates who are success-minded and self-motivated. I am not telling you that all your PSAs will do duplication because only those that have fully understood the essence of hard-work and SFI's ideals and those who are determined to succeed with the help of SFI will be the ones doing the duplication.

C) I wish that I have answered your query. :)

D) I'm still looking for my idol who puts humor in his answers here.... message me and let's be friends :)

*MOVERS Tab - find that tab here https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=movers
**It is more than obvious that if your PSAs have produced leaders in their teams, they are 1001+% duplicating

Be a awesome sponsor and lead by example.

Be focused on keeping your team members motivated and doing the training task. Learn to seek out the issues they are fighting against and figure out new ways to get them past their own hang ups and issues.

When the need motivation that's your job.

When they need Information that's your job too.

When they need a friend let them call you that friend.

Be connected by as many streams as possible so that your team can reach you in the best manner for them, and check in daily and handle all your support as if this was a customer service desk and you don't want angry or confused customers talking down your business to others which will happen when people fail and say SFI was just too confusing, my sponsor never helped me.

To many years of great success.

Duplication is one of the main things that we should be doing as sponsor. The other two are finding affiliates and earning versa points.

There are two sources of our affiliates. First are those that we invite personally and the second are those that signed up through our internet marketing efforts.

Duplication is easier to apply to those that we recruited personally because you are there physically to guide from signing-up up to the time when they are able do it themselves. There are greater percentage of those who signed up through warm marketing that we can apply duplication.

Those that are from internet marketing however, only 1 to 5 percent of them will work, therefore we only pour out our efforts of duplication to these few. It's unrealistic to expect that majority of them will do as we do.

So what we want to make sure that duplication happens are to those who wanted to work. Because duplication is always a two-man show. You and your affiliate. Concentrate on what is your part for duplication to happen. Here's what I consider as important.

1. You must have a comprehensive grasp of SFI business processes. Your affiliate needs guidance to start doing what you are doing. Read and study everything from SFI and TripleClicks websites. And read more outside of SFI website.

2. You must lead by example. You do first whatever you want your affiliate to do. Example, if you want them to set up an Standing Order (SO) you must set up an SO first yourself.

3. Establish good working friendly relationship with your working affiliates. It makes exchanges of communication a lot easier. Asking and giving of help is easy.

With these three in-placed I think you have done your part to assure duplication, the other half however is in the hands of your affiliates.

How do I assure that duplication happens in those I sponsor?
Here is what I do and all the PSA that got active still are.When I greet my PSA I let him/her know first about me what I expect and inspire them for the same way I did it he/she can.
My favorite phrase is "I know you can do it" . Any person who made the decision to enroll here deserve the chance to make it possible, and it is, as long as you try.I always tell them this is work Not a job.So you get what you put in.I do not bribe my PSAs for I do not want dependents so I am leaving my gift certificates to later.I tell straight up front you cannot make money without spending money no what occupation you take you have to invest in it to see true progress.My gift certificates would not be baste on reaching EA2 it would more be based on them getting first 2-3 PSAs to EA.This gives more competition to me for I know this is a challenge so to me this would really show me if they really learn anything while I was duplicating them for you see "seeing is believing" just prove it 'and of course my little phrase "I know you can"
In terms of team building for my whole team I intend to do coop of mostly traffic to gateways.Like that package here that I am praying is still on by the 10th of next month.
I believe in the "Best I can be" so assure a duplicate of me I need to have great communication lines open.I never got a welcome from my leader I do not get tips from my leader I find they send you links there is no description there are like ROBOT messages.For I do not understand them.I have a great mentor here in a2a and he helps my if I email him for advice he reply before 24hrs.I tried my sponsor but he like he does not understand me or he is very busy.I do not wait for my PSA to contact me I contact them daily even if it is only to wish them a Great Day.This is the role of a leader to make sure every thing is in place.If you see them trying to reach for too high a leader let them know truth don't let them continue for your gain for this is not fair.Always let them know it better EARN your leader status than to BUY it.It's much cheaper too!!
So to make sure duplication happens you must open the door breakdown the wall.Make a gateway for communication!!!
To assure my duplication is success which is no accident.It's hard work,perseverance,learning,studying,sacrifice and most of all my love for what I am doing!!

How do you assure duplications happen or take place in those you sponsor, my dear let me be frank with you, in SFI here it's not your duty to begin monitor if your PSA recruit, it's the duty of your PSA because it's their own business too. Your business is to teach your PSAs to do what you do to build your business. If your PSAs refuses to recruit, well it's their business, so my dear work with the workers in your downline. Moreover I don't think any if your movers or serious affiliate will not be burning to recruit PSAs because we all know that's were our great income come from.

Stop waiting time to assure your PSAs are recruiting. It's your duty to recruit and teach them what you do because you want to make more money just the way your sponsor recruited you to make more money. So if you refuse to recruit, your sponsor is already making money on you as long you remain EA. He has taught you what he did to boost his business, likewise do the same and don't wait for him or her to check or force you to recruit and duplicate.

Am not saying you should not care about your 2nd 3rd and so on generations, if your PSAs you sponsor recruited, it's your duty to carry them along as an upline team leader because you get matching VPs from them but not to be making sure they recruited, they already know it's their duty to recruit just as it's your duty that you recruited them. Teach and encourage your PSAs to do what you are doing period.

In a “brick and mortar” business where we see our team members, face-to-face, on a daily basis, we can employ several methods, such as various types of testing, to ensure that they are performing their job in the manner that we wish the job to be done. In the SFI world, because our teams are spread out worldwide, we can’t employ those same methods. Therefore, communication is the big key here.

As a sponsor you need to communicate with your team on a regular basis. For example, send out weekly mails to your team, write a blog on your leadership page and reply to their questions in a timely manner. What I do is send out a weekly mail with tips and advice as to how I am working my business. I also add in anything that I have seen on Stream, Ask SC or the Forum that I feel would benefit them. On my leadership page I will also blog tips and advice, but not all the same information. In addition, if I receive a question from one of my team members that I feel the rest of the team would benefit from the answer, I will post that on my blog.

As a sponsor, you can’t be absolutely positive that your team will follow your lead explicitly. However, by communicating with them regularly, you will know that you have given them the steps they need to follow.

Wishing you much success!
