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?

Obviously, of what use is sponsoring hundreds of new PSAs without them not growing?

The essence of SFI is not just acquire more and more affiliates, but quality ones. That is why inactive affiliates are remove over time.

Develop your EAs to develop EAs themselves and what you could have achieved with hundreds of PSAs, can be achieved easily with EAs duplicating you efforts.

That is why, SFI encourages TEAM LEADERSHIP & SUPPORT by awarding VersaPoints. See compensation

Great question that I guess a lot of members want the answer to. If you sponsor hundreds of PSAs, you most probably will get a few workers who will go on to develop a great business. This take on business building will possibly cost quite a bit in advertising and purchase of the PSAs

On the other hand, if you only sponsor a smaller number of PSAs and expend your time to teach them to build a successful business, it may be a cheaper option in terms of advertising and purchase of

It’s been said that to find quality, you have to have quantity.

Building a successful team requires a number of good, active, and hardworking PSAs. And a steady supply of new ones. You may want to concentrate on a smaller number of EAs and train them to become Team Leaders, but there’s no guarantee that most, if not all, will stay active and keep working to achieve their goals.

While you’re working to get to the next level, and assured of a number of EAs to requalify,

Can I sponsor hundreds of PSAs a year and teach them all to be EAs and duplicate? :)

It is better to focus on QUALITY advertising and QUALITY recruiting. If you use QUALITY advertising to recruit your PSAs, you are more likely to find people who are legitimately interested in earning money with a program like SFI. The better quality recruits

Sponsoring hundreds of affiliates each year is just like casting a net into the sea. Ones expectations are a bumper harvest of very good and expensive fishes. Now, these fishes are sorted out and graded. So is the recruitment drive. Great PSAs are graded into a first class team and special attention paid to. Such serious ones can be approached on "one on one" basis because of their ability to progress faster.

The next group is grsdually and patiently groomed to pick up but not

Ryan it really depends on you. If you are equipped to recruit 100s and support them properly then do it. You will be in a better disposition. More is always better when the quality is there. However, if you can only effectively support a few at a time then do that. That is what would work for you in this case.

SFI is so versatile and multifaceted. You don't need 100 inactive affiliates but if you don't recruit you will have none! Five good affiliates is better the 100 poor ones

In my opinion!!

It is better to teach a few to develop themselves, consistently duplicating you. In my experience I have over 20 PSAs and over 100 CSA's currently. And only 5 PSA's are really working. Some are self driven. Others need the motivation. And others need the day to day guidance.
So work with a few
Not putting aside the fact that you can continue advertising to get your PSA's continually, should any of your PSAs decide to opt out. At least there is a constant stream

Because there are no fees paid to join SFI the number of individuals we will get as PSAs are huge. Each of these individuals has an interest in the business but many after starting either do not see the big picture or just do not have the time to move on. The fact no one is automatically dismissed for not being active within a short while, leaving sponsors/co-sponsors in a quandary especially when they have a large amount of inactive PSAs,CSAs.

Option 1 - concentrate on your small number

It is important to mention that sponsoring hundreds of PSAs is a means to an end. The major means in my opinions, may be to increase the probability of reaching your objective of the smaller number of EA you wish to develop.

Some have argued that sponsoring hundreds of PSAs may be a waste of resources, but what if you have the resources or you have reached an optimum level, where the increase in your signups does not necessarily result in increased financial resources in your advertisement

Your question is a lot like: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

To get an EA you first have to sponsor a PSA. Only a few of those PSA's will put forth the effort that it takes to become an EA, let alone an EA2.

When you get a PSA from any source, you should welcome them and try to motivate them to put forth the effort to become an EA so that you can work with them.

To get those EA's you have to filter through a lot of PSA's, so your focus needs
