Sponsoring is one of the major discussions SFI teaches from our early days with this amazing company. Sponsoring people to join SFI is the easy part, which is fine, however, if you want to boost up you time in creating wealth finding the right affiliates is a challenge. Plus, the goal here is to create wealth with less effort(s), and time as much possible right? You wouldn't want to waste time and effort on 100 affiliates who will not lift a finger to help themselves right?

I suggest find 5 active affiliates and teach them to duplicate you, and the more knowledgeable and active they are the better. Below is a link within SFI that explains more on the subject of sponsoring and duplicating.

Remember, wealth is no accident, it's created by people who know how to control it.

Hi Ryan,

Well, in my opinion, the ideal would be to do both. You would grow your team(s) faster and you would earn commissions faster.

Granted, with a working team (the trick is to get your team working) of PSAs you earn a higher commission rate, 45% CV, and EA2, 15% CV. Your EAs will have a team each sI think you will gain more due to 1) duplication; and 2) multiplication.

On the other hand, if you take the commissions you will earn from one PSA and one EA2, you will earn 60% CV between just the two of them. Imagine your commissions for hundreds of PSAs plus EA2s and their teams. Wow!

I wouldn't go for one or the other; I would choose both. Why? I work very, very hard (but I have sooo much fun!); I want to be more successful and have more fun than I am; and I want to be wealthy. You know, really rich.

I think, if you could sponsor hundreds of PSAs and teach them to duplicate or have a lesser amount of EAs with a team of EA2, you will be fine. And you should have a lot of money. :-)

All the best.

"What would be a better goal and why? Sponsor hundreds of new PSAs every year or teach a smaller number of EAs to each develop EAs themselves?"

Thanks for this thought provoking question.

The complex nature of an Affiliate Program of this type is that we do not know who will give up, when and who will remain active, etc.

We may think, a Strong and active PSA in our Team will become a Top Leader, etc. It will be shocking when that person ops out without any reason suddenly. It would be more shocking if that person was introduced by your own hands.

The other side, you would have been assigned to few people as their Co-Sponsor to take care of them and help them to grow.

By experience, we know most of them remain inactive and when we do not know when will they become active.

Such being the case, it is always better to introduce as many PSAs as possible. Take care of them to the best of your abilities. Help them grow step by step. Ensure they reach the next leadership levels continuously. This way you will have a strong and active Team Members under you.

Once you see their progress, Teach them all about Duplication. If they are able to follow your steps and develop their own Team within the Team its awesome. What else you can ask for as their Sponsor?

Conclusion:

1. Please Sponsor as many new PSAs as possible regularly.
2. Take care of them continuously.
3. Help them Grow consistently.
4. Out of so many even if few of them remain active and reach next level leadership
positions continuously, its fine.
5. Help them to develop their own Team within your Team.
6. Do realize that not all those who are your PSAs become EAs continuously. They too
can give up without your knowledge.
7. Its ideal to have a long list of PSAs, who should be inspired by our own
achievements so that they would be motivated to stay long in SFI business!!

Hello,

This is very interesting question.

My opinion is that you should work on both of these goals.

1. With sponsoring of hundreds of new PSAs every year you could obtain considerable number of EA's.
2. Among this considerable number of EA's, there could be those with potential to reach some of the Team Leaders positions (BTL, STL, GTL, PTL).

Therefore, you should try to sponsor as many as possible PSA's, to monitor every of the potential candidates from this bigger number of PSA's, and to choose smaller number of EA's.
Then you should focus to this smaller group of potential Team Leaders, and provide them every possible support that you can.

To Your Success!

It is not either or, but these two are all part of the process of building solid foundation in SFI.

let me explain.

In internet affiliate marketing we should embrace the fact that only 0.1 to 5 percent of our recruits will become active. It's a number game.

So having a large number of affiliates is the first step to have few numbers who will become active and become an EA. So do not neglect this part you need hundreds or even thousands of affiliates before you can have few good active affiliates.

Then give extra attention to few affiliates who starting to become active. Give them assistance, motivate them, coach them and answer all their question.

This is the way we build our SFI business. The mistakes of many is they concentrate only on earning VP and not working on finding affiliates!

Affiliates (PSA and CSA, including PRM's) are our bread and butter here at SFI and we need hundreds of them before we find what we want from an affiliate.

Give me 5 good, hard working affiliates and within 2 years I will build a full time income, fire the boss, pay off my debts, and maybe even start buying a house and newer van.

Quantity is nice but can be darned frustrating if you don't get quality in high quantity. I see people all the time spend $500-$1000 or more adding thousands of PSA and then quitting because all they did was lose money, and aren't making close to what they expected.

You need to know how to make money at TripleClicks and with SFI which means you need to learn how to generate sales at TripleClicks. This occasionally happens with PSA who place a standing order but more often than not the PSA joins because it says free to join, no upgrade required in the ad.

The affiliate comes to SFI in need of money, they don't come here to buy products or t-credits from day one so planning on building your business from PSA alone is foolish. The first question PSA ask me is, "How do I start making money?" and I have never had any of them ask me what they needed to buy, some bought and still buy but even those ones wanted to know how to make money at SFI.

With a team of over 1700 affiliates I have only a couple people who are placing full standing orders. Only a dozen or so work their business still, and the ones who do are looking to make money before they can spend money. So teaching them how to refer personally referred members or PRM as we call them is vital.

A PSA comes here with little to no money looking to make money not spend money. A PRM on the other hand is coming here with money and seeking specific products or auctions to spend it on so even though they pay the same commission as a PSA who places a standing order they tend to buy more and buy more often. It's rare that a PSA would buy a $1200 Iphone 6 but tens of thousands of people bought one just last month. All could have been your PRM and bought at TripleClicks.

So learn how to recruit PRM, preferably in high quantity from high quality sources and then work on getting 5 good PSA to teach to do the same. Help them find 5, and watch your network and net worth grow.

Eternal question:what is better - quality or quantity?
Well,I say that you need quantity to get quality.


What does it mean?
First,when you get new PSA,just by his/her name you can't tell if someone's serious about this business or not.And at the beginning you never can tell with 100% guarantee if someone will become bronze,silver or gold team leader or not.Some PSA have a great start,but then,for some reason,leave this job.Others may be inactive at first,but later it turns out to be great leaders.If you sponsor many affiliates you'll notice it too.

So,you may have hundreds of affiliates,but not all of them will work seriously.Sad fact,but it's like that.Because not all the people see this business the way we see it.Our's duty,as their sponsor,is to present them this opportunity the best way we know.Some will follow us,others won't.Saying goes "work with workers",so spot the workers in your downline,the ones who are progressing,and focus on them.

That doesn't mean that you totally abandon others.Keep in touch with them,send them e-mails once in a month or so,check if maybe situation have changed.But keep your primary focus on those who are willing to advance.Your time is precious,you can't waste it,have more respect for it.


On the other hand,you may choose to start with a little group of PSA and to focus on all of them from the very start.That's nice,because work in small groups enables the leader to get in more personal connection with his group members,which will result with better training.

However,as I said,not all of us are the same and not all of us see thing the same way.So you may have situation that you focus on little group and to find out later that you've chose wrong persons to train with.Then after a while you'll have feeling that unfortunately you just wasted your time.


So,my advice is to combine those two:get larger group of members,then see who are the workers,and then put your efforts to promote them into team leaders.It's like in sports:at the beginning you have many kids coming to training,but not all of them will end up playing in the first team.As time goes by their trainer (sponsor) will notice who is working and who is not,and then he will focus on the smaller group,but it will be a group of good workers.And it will bring the sponsor incredible results.


You never know where the hidden diamond lies.Maybe you won't find it at first.But keep searching for it,and sooner or later,after "a million" ones,rest assured that it will appear.That's the way to success.That's why we need quantity to get quality.

Which is better hundreds of new PSA's or a few EA's each duplicating themselves.
This is an interesting Question.

You may have to sponsor a large number of PSA's to get a few to the point of being EA's, it may be a large number of PSA's before you find the diamonds that understand that it takes action to build a Business. You certainly want to help develop your PSA's into EA's and Team Leaders.

If you can sponsor hundred of new PSA's, you should do what you can to develop those into EA's.
It is good when you can find people who are self starters, and you need to work with those to build a team. Set the stage by example, keep in contact with your PSA's and work together for a common goal of being a successful TEAM in SFI.

So which is a better goal, sponsoring hundreds of new PSA's or teaching a smaller number of EA's to each develop EA's themselves. The most important is to develop EA's who will duplicate themselves and be leaders, that is teamwork.

Once you get a nucleus of working EA's, and you have the skills of sponsoring hundreds of PSA's you will improve your organizational team by placing working EA's in groups below in your team.

Actually Ryan, I suggest 2-goals you should pursue right from the start: (1) Building your Downline Team of Affiliates and (2) Your TripleClicks Memberships.

DOWNLINE TEAM OF AFFILIATES.
Here, your goals should be to increase your selling force as quickly and economically as possible. I recommend S-Builder as one of your primary sources in accomplishing this.

TRIPLECLICKS MEMBERSHIPS.
Here, you'll want to make the products in your TripleClicks e-commerce store available to family, friends, co-workers and/or any/everyone you may come into contact with. Every time you go to the grocery store, pass out one of your flyers, business cards, and always making sure your name, telephone number (optional, of course), and your TripleClicks gateway (url link) are included on all flyers and business cards. Of course, SFI has some exceptional preprinted cards you can use. https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

Now, consider the BASICS! Push hard on DUPLICATION to your Affiliate Team. As your business shows growth, your additional goals should increase.

My answer to your question will be that you keep on sponsoring hundreds of PSAs every year and also keep teaching your EAs to duplicate themselves.

My reason is that if you only concentrate on sponsoring PSAs or teaching EAs to duplicate themselves you have succeeded in putting a limit to the income you would have made in SFI. The more PSAs in your down-line that are active the more benefits you will get in SFI and also the more EAs you teach to duplicate themselves the more benefit you will get. So you can see that both are important.

There should be no limit to your income in SFI, aim high and dream big.
