Suggesting downline requires adept knowledge of their activities and preferences. How do a downline member responds to a tip from upline and also are your downline members willing enough to accept any kind of advice. In most cases downlines require active leaders to guide them from beginning to invest cautiously in order to grow maximum business at minnimum cost. Leaders even if themselves may not have followed that tip for one reason or other must guide their downline to follow the route which

Work With the Workers do not waste time on someone who is not willing to work the biz. Also make sure you are spending monthly to maintain your EA status, Offer an incentive to maintain EA status for members of your team such as coops,contests, training etc. Communicate with your team on the value of maintaining EA status and What is in it for them if they do and what the consequences are if they do not maintain. When a team member reaches EA do a shout out on the stream giving them recognition also

Hi Robert,

Very good question.
Let we think the way how to make downline are own-motivated (not a leader always motivate the downline) in the SFI Business.

Sometime we face a problem because we are running a business not follow the system correctly. After we achieved of a level, we get stuck and difficult to reach higher level again. If it happens, I believe, we will think this SFI is greedy to use money to keep the rank on the top.

The system explain how

Nobody likes spending money for nothing. First of all we have to know that affiliates are looking for easy way to earn money. People know about clicking for money, advertising for money etc. At the begining in SFI we all think "this is the same sh...t like all other online businesses". Many of them leave SFI w/o getting any VPs, some did those getting started tasks, lanchpad lessons ... for some it is very boring to do daily tasks. Some poeple read, read and read and count. Some just counts.

The best way to encourage useful and meaningful spending in your downline is to detail the usefulness of the products you want them to purchase.

Obviously you will have this detail by having tried the product yourself. Do not pitch anything you have not purchased.

Finally after you have explained in detail what the product does offer a substantial reward (50-80% back of the purchase price) for those who purchase the product.

The reward can be in the form of:

Hi Robert,

You can never guarantee what people will do.
There is no way to make your PSA or CSA do anything they don't want to.
Be honest about what SFI is and how to work the business.
Here are some ideas of what to explain to your new PSA/CSAs.

GREET NEW PSA OR CSA
1) Send an E-Card through SFI
2) Personally, I follow up with an e-mail on what needs to done daily.
3) This will make sure your affiliate has received a message

Yes This is a awesome question.
You should inform your downline what are the benefits behind becoming an EA each month. Below are some of them.
1. Maintaining two months as EA, an affiliate is achieved a status known as EA2.
2. You will be awarded 2 CSA after becoming an EA each month which will help to enlarge your team.

I would communicate to my downline what the benefits are when they become EA's. I would also tell them what I experienced and did to get to that milestone. Tell them it is easy to get 1500 VPoints a month, without spending a lot of money. List ways that can help them, by directing them where to go and what to do to gain VPoints. By listing ways for them to do the actions will help them understand and not get frustrated searching all over to find the answers.

Tell your downline they can

Hi Robert!
Just explain to your downline that every business need investment. Investment here is done in time or money or both.
Tell them they don't have to spend money to maintain their EA status unless they want to. Tell them they can generate sales at TripleClicks and/or do transfer buying. Explain to them that with transfer buying they don't have to spend extra money. Since they are already buying many of the same products TripleClicks sells—but from other stores or sources. With

While I understand the importance of having a Standing Order for 1500VP or more, we need to remember that EA status can be gained by 1500VP gained by either purchases OR sales.

Psychologically speaking, most people resist giving something up (spending), but readily accept the prospect of gaining something. With that in mind, I have found that you will run in to much less resistance showing your downline how to sell TripleClicks items, for which they receive both commissions and VP before
