Before one can answer this question, we need to define what the requirements are to become a platinum leader.

They are two parts that must be attained every month as the counter starts over monthly.

First, one must accumulate a minimum of 1500 to maximum of 2000 Sales VP
This is accomplished by having a standing order of 1500 VP monthly but can also be attained by
purchasing any number of products in TripleClicks as long as you don't exceed 2000 VP. You may exceed 2000VP
but it will not count towards your qualification.

The second part of the PTL requirement is to attain or accumulate another 4000-4500 Action VP. The
Difference is the amount of sales VP you choose to accumulate. My recommendation is to max out 2000
sales VP as it is much easier to attain. Going with that notion of 2000 sales VP, one must generate 4000 action VP.uild

This is most easily accomplished by building a downline of EA2 or higher PSAs. This is how it is scored:

EA2 - 100 per PSA
BTL - 150 per PSA
STL - 200 per PSA
GTL - 250 per PSA
PTL - 300 per PSA

As you can see, obtaining 4000 action VP is heavily reliant on your success at building your downline of successful Affiliates with ranks of PTL being the biggest contributor. For one to obtain 4000 action VP by doing nothing else but sponsoring PSA, the ideal method is to build a downline of all Platinum Team Leader. That is not necessary as any combination of all ranks can quickly add up.

The key is you don't have to build all 4000 action VP by ranking PSA. You can earn a substantial amount of action VP by the following:

Daily, weekly, month to do total 497 action VP
Allowed 200 Max action VP earned from TC gaming
Allowed 500 action VP from Auction bidding.
Allowed 300 max monthly for gift cards
Allowed 50 max for downloading songs
Every new ECA you recruit you get 100VP on their first listing
25 VP for every rating of products you purchase in TC the first time

Depending on your capital, you could accumulate almost half of the 4000 action VP with NO downline. Essentially one become a BTL and almost STL with out recruiting a single PSA. I would not recommend grid as it's costly monthly and not duplicating properly but the point being you don't have to build all 4000 with PSAs.

Knowing the requirements now, it comes down to preference, knowledge, capital, and strategy.

To become a PTL monthly, having a 1500 VP SO and purchasing 500 more in products you use normally is essential. If you have capital, be sure to purchase TCREDIT SO so you can leverage both action VP from bids and sales VP from MRP. You can also bid on auctions that assist you in building action VP like gift cards, PSAs, TCREDIT SOs subscriptions.

No matter what you do, you will have to build a downline of at least 5-10 solid team leaders or more if EA2s. Once you start to build a downline e of ranking PSA, the process of repeating it monthly gets easier as the bigger your line gets.

In basic terms, the best strategy is to have a 2000 VP standing order and build a downline of team leaders and train them to do the same. Duplication is what we call this and if followed and consistently acted on for a period of time. You can become PTL very fast or over time. In either case, it is very attainable with persistant daily action, great communication, business know how, and most of all read and follow the directions or rules of success that time has show has made many PTL s successful and not to reinvent your own wheel.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Duplication, duplication and even more duplication.

This is the best strategy you can follow to become successful within the SFI framework.

To become a PTL (platinum team leader) you need a minimum of 4000 AVP (action VersaPoints). This is why you get a monthly bonus for each of your personally sponsored leaders.

Those leaders are not very likely to stay leaders if they don't build their downlines! The best way to ensure this happens is for you to coach each and every one of your active downline individually. You would also want to encourage your affiliates to do the same for their downlines.

So the best strategy I would say is to promote SFI and TripleClicks as much as you possibly can. Once you are getting sign ups take the time to get to know them and build up a trusting relationship and get them to do the same.

Hi, in my opinion, the best strategy is keep recruiting the new PSA. There is no short cut. Because in order to become Platinum Team Leader, you need at least 6,000 or more VP for the month and 1,500 min/2,000 max from sales/purchases. The other criteria like maintaining Leadership page and 3 star sponsor rating shouldn’t have any problem. As long you provide a good services to your downline. It’s not difficult to achieve.

The situation is the VP you need to generate. In order to generate 6,000 VP, you need to generate enough PTL, GTL, STL, BTL and EA2 below you.

300VP / PTL
250VP / GTL
200VP / STL
150VP / BTL
100VP / EA2

You do the math. From there you will know how many EA2 and Team leader you need to generate. You have to generate more TL and EA2 than you expected because you need to deduct the no mover. So the best strategy is to keep recruiting and servicing. Just stay focus and persistence. You will become PTL in no time.

The two most important areas to focus on is sponsoring and duplication across the board. Sponsoring and duplication has to be relentless.
Training of PSAs plays a major role in the sponsoring and duplication efforts.
Train your PSAs to become EA2 and Team Leaders. Bottom line is to teach them how to earn money.
The road to PTL comprises building a team of EA2 and Team Leaders.
Team Leaders should focus on recruiting affiliates and teaching them to become EAs and Team Leaders themselves.
As long as you are an EA2 you can earn:
100VP for each of your PSAs each month who are at least an EA2
150VP for each of your PSAs each month who is a BTL
200VP for each of your PSAs each month who is a STL
250VP for each of your PSAs each month who is a GTL
300VP for each of your PSAs each month who is a PTL
If you can consistently maintain a pool of at least 40 EA2s each month, some of whom will become team leaders then your PTL rank will be a long term one.
It all boils down to sponsoring, training and duplication.

Hello Geraldine,

You jumped from affiliate to straight to platinum status.
Not knowing what position you have but just your question.
If you are not a team leader or haven’t have at least an Executive
Affiliate status please slow down and study about leadership
Because to be a leader especially to reach at platinum status
It require a great deal of knowledge, wisdom and understanding.
To lead your team and handling the responsibility.
To achieve it is not that hard, just follow the guide line, how
Many point you need to accumulate, meet that requirement
You are there, just got the platinum status. But how long have
You been here?. One month, two month, six month, a year
Or more?.

How many fellow affiliate you have?. You can get there with
Or without a team member. But if you climb up there without
Having anyone in your team what’s the purpose of it. Whom
Are you going to lead ?.

We have few people over here got
To leadership position by themselves without a team even not
Knowing what they are doing and what it means. Learn from
Them. Learn from their mistake.

That’s what great leaders do.
Also read here ( ASk SC ) page very often everyday if possible.
You will learn a lot. You will find out a lot of affiliates share
Their story what mistakes they did in the first month of joining
SFI and warning others to learn from them not to make similar
Mistakes. That kind of advice is priceless and we need to take it
To the heart.

Now to answer your question. The best strategy to become a
Platinum Team Leader is to build your team. Work together,
As you help your team and help them to achieve every step
Of leadership position in return they will help you to advance
Indirectly to higher leadership position. In time you all climb the
Ladder together step by step, eventually you will achieve your desired
Platinum Team Leader position.
That’s will be also a team built in a good foundation.

To me the best insurance you can get for becoming a Team Leader of any level is to slow down the number of people who join, are active for a bit, then quit.

Doing this is vital to long term success and the biggest reason for people leaving is because after X number days or months they haven't made any money. So your first focus needs to be on learning to promote the products at TripleClicks to generate sales. If you learn how to generate a steady stream of sales at TripleClicks you will be able to teach your team to also generate sales at TripleClicks.

If your team can generate enough sales they can be in profit and not have to buy a standing order to make it to Executive Affiliate each month unless they choose to have one.

Recruiting becomes easier when you have money coming in so you can advertise in higher quality locations that get better results, like Facebook Ads paired with a Facebook Fanpage about your business.

A team that generates sales is a team that generates more Versa points which also increases your total earnings. We make our money when sales happen because SFI has no upgraded membership you have to buy.

Your Personally Sponsored Affiliates want to know how a free member in a free program can make money, they didn't sign up to hear a thousand request that they set up a standing order so your long term success is in teaching them to make money before they invest in themselves.

The best strategy to become a Platinum Team Leader for me is:
To sponsor as many PSAs as you can each month and be opened to support them in anyway.
This is a numbers game and from all the affiliates you sponsor, only 2 to 5 percent of them will take action. So you need to sponsor as many as you can. Maybe 1000's of affiliates each month. Then send them a welcome message the same day they sign up.
I have written and saved a series of messages to send to my PSAs:
-A message to send to Ready-To-Go affiliates
-A message to send to Affiliates that achieved Fast-Track
-A congratulating/rewarding message to send to EAs and one for EA2.
-A message to send to Passive affiliates to motivate them to log in to their SFI homepage again.
And so on.
Do all the above continuously and you should make it to Planinum Team Leader level. Good luck.

Who wouldn’t want to attain the highest level of being a Team Leader by becoming a Platinum Team Leader (PTL) in SFI? I believe every SFI affiliate should aspire to become one in order to enjoy the benefits.

First I’m going to show you the benefits of being a Platinum Team Leader to give you an inspiration and be motivated to go for it. Here are the benefits:

- Direct Commissions 45% CV from your PSAs/PRMs, including earning VPs from purchases made by your PRMs and 15% CV from your CSAs.

- You’re entitled to earn additional income through SFIPPA (SFI Pay-Per-Action).

- Participate in TripleClicks Executive Pool. As PTL you’ll have the opportunity to receive matching VPs on all EA2’s in your downline within 12 levels including your CSAs.

- Earn ECA royalties for life by referring companies selling products.

- You’ll get all the privileges of being an SFI affiliate which includes access to affiliate center, free TripleClicks membership, VIP title, free 20 TCredits/month starting on EA2 level, get paid instantly to your TC MasterCard, access to wholesale prices at TripleClicks, receive 2 CSAs/month, 4 shares of Second Home CSAs, express affiliate support, create own SFI-approved ads and promotions and so on.

Now that you have seen the summary of benefits above, what’s the best strategy to achieve that rank? By reviewing the requirements of becoming a PTL you can create the best strategy for you. The best strategy for me might not be the best for you. You’ll have to consider factors like geographical location, your economic situation and so on.

To become PTL:

- accumulate 6000 VPs or more. The VP requirement is consist of 1500min/2000max Sales VPs and 4000 Action VPs.

- maintain Leadership Page and a minimum 3-star sponsor rating. The 3-star rating requirement is waved if TL has less than 5 ratings from PSAs.
Most of the work involved in fulfilling the requirements above lies in the accumulation of 4000 Action VPs and this should be your main focus.
The best strategy to achieve the PTL rank:

- set a goal of sponsoring certain numbers of new affiliates. This will depend on your time and effort, budget, advertising media and methods of advertisement.

- Train and support new affiliates to become EA2s. This will require your time and effort as you establish trust in your team building.

- Encourage EA2s to become TLs by using the power tools, such as S-Builder Co-op, PSAs To Go, Reassignment/Gift Certificate Mgr and so on.

- Train and support them in building their own team.

- Communicate and follow-up your team’s activity consistently.
