Hi Affiliate,
In the first two to three months you should personally work on improving your own rank. In the process you could become a BTL your self that is no problem at all. Buy NMP become a fast track member, enter E365, buy S-Builder all these actions will give your team the image of a leader they would like to follow if you develop a team later.
Believe me I did all this and today I have a team of 70 first level PSA's, 25 level 2 PSA's and 274 second home and own CSA's together. Thats quite a big team tohave and work on.
I feel it is not necessary to have a team to become a leader, be a leader and team will follow. Play EZ games, take part in PB auctions, read Forum Ask SC, enrich your knowledge by reading for "{learners are earners". This will also make tou capable of answering your team without much reference to the Ask SC library. Cocentrate now on Affilates to EA2/team leaders. Make atleast five EA2 in your team, To do list and marketing activities and wait for your commissions to build
Hope this helps. All the best.

It depends on what the particular wants to achieve. First, he/she may want to receive the benefits of a Team Leader position. This could mean gaining shares of CSA's from the Executive pool on a monthly basis as TL. Those shares help to build a study down line that builds his residual income on all of the CSA's sales and purchases. Second, this creates an area of duplication. The CSA's and PSA"s will recruit other's to further increase your down line and earning potential, given that all parties are logging on and completing all daily actions. Third, as a Team Leader, you'll want to sustain a rank that is achievable by yourself as well as others.

This business takes work, perserverance, and dedication. Some, such as myself, become an Affiliate, an Executive Affiliate, then decide to rise to a Bronze Team Leader. They try S-builder, Co-ops, and other channels to achieve their goals. Last, but not least; You may win 100 CSA's in an auction to build a team, just as I did a few months ago. It really boils down to what goal you are trying to achieve, whether its monetary, leadership status, prestige, or etc.

Absolutely - as a one word answer.

Team Leader is simply a category that SFI uses to identify how far along an affiliate is in their achievements.

TL status is a personal achievement based on an affiliate's determination, commitment and consistency.

Being a TL can simply be a way to show others that you're able to successfully lead self thus become a mentor to others no matter how you know them. SFI is built on collaboration and shared knowledge, it is not limited to having leading a team.

Lead self first and others will follow.

Very good question!
Most of us will agree that there is no need for that but there's a catch ... When you become TL - next month you will receive one share CSA (for BTL), 2 share CSA (for STL), and so on ...
CSA are also members of your team so when you becoming a Team Leader you actually build a team?
CSA you get in this way may be more active than CSA who have just joined, and often more active than PSA who have just joined!
At some point their co-sponsors have not confirmed EA and lost their CSA so that when you become a Team Leader - you receive them for your CSA!
Some of them are inactive, some maybe also Team Leaders so decide for yourself ...
Any job you are doing (unrelated to this business) - you should be achieved maximum!
People follow successful people and if so - makes it easier to attract new members (when you're Team Leader) than just an affiliate?


This is just my opinion on this question and I hope that is helpful ..

Certainly Yes. In my experience for 4 years in SFI I can say that my active team members are from my first year when I was BTL. When I became again BTL last month I received another active members. If you can afford being BTL don't hesitate to do it. In my last 3 years I was EA2. I was always with 1-2 active members from my first year and of course empty pockets. My investing was not returned. I always was on red with SFI. When I became BTL in May this year I received more than 2 CSA and bigger commission. My current investment in SFI is also not returned, but I don't need to invest more than my commission /and SO/. Relying on 2 CSA from EA is not serious in my opinion for building a team. And regarding auctions for CSA and PSA you can't win them, because there is Fierce competition and you will probably use your T-credits for nothing /over then 30 T-credits per auciton/. Building a team happens with the support of SFI when you're TL - around 30 CSA is more than 2, right? The program helps TL to have bigger team and bigger possibility for active people. For my three years I recruited a lot of PSA with paid and free advertisement and not even one is active till today. I followed everything written in SFI, but people just don't like to work hard. With my BTL status I received another active CSA at least. Once again, BTL rank seems more serious than EA2, right? This is what I think. Until I can afford being BTL I wil be one. Meanwhile I am sure I will have active people and my investment will be not on zero and slowly I will have active team.

Hello Waleed,

Thank you for the question.

Yes; a person should definitely go for the rank of Team Leader even if they don't have a team. Leadership is all about goals, determination and success.

However, this condition will only arise when one is going for Team Leader in the first month of joining SFI and has not yet sponsored any affiliate. By becoming Team Leader, one gets shares of Second Home CSAs and thus a team under him/her is created. Also there are many ways of getting PSAs; depending upon suitability one can form a team. Becoming a Team Leader will help one learn and practice leadership skills and become a true leader.

Generally: First month, when an affiliate becomes EA; gets 2 CSA. Next month, when the affiliate becomes EA2, gets 2 more CSA. So the affiliate already has a team of 4 CSA under him/her before becoming BTL. This way, the SFI program provides the platform/team to develop one's leadership skills for the rank of Team Leader. By becoming BTL one gets 1 share of Second Home CSAs, this helps in growing team faster. One would have (and should have) been sponsoring from second month. This is what affiliate learns when they graduate as EA from SFI. By the end of third month, the affiliate would have sponsored at least some PSAs and so would be having a team of PSAs and CSAs when going for BTL.

Be confident, become a Team Leader, set example for others, help team members and grow your business.

One of the ways of becoming a team leader is to purchase PSA's at TripleClicks. This gives you a team as well as helping you to become a team leader. If you feel that you are confident enough to lead, then why not?

So the team leader status becomes easier to get, you get the two CSA's a month to add to your team, and you have a way of becoming a team leader each month.

Of course if you don't feel you have the necessary information and skills to lead a team yet, there is no need to. You can spend more time learning about your business so that when you are ready to lead, you are confident.

In short, if you feel able to lead, there is no reason why you shouldn't go for Team Leader.

The first stage for any affiliate in SFI is Fast Track. This is not the situation when he starts building up his own team. After reaching Executive Affiliate, he will start contemplating to have his own people in his own team who will work for him to build up the business.The question to be considered is whether he can acquire Team Leadership without his own members.The straight and simple answer is he cannot. When we go deep in to the reasons:
1.He did not have enough of experience in SFI to handle things as a Leader nor does he have in depth knowledge of men & matters in SFI.
2.A Leader is a person who leads . Where there are no followers, how can he be a Team Leader without his followers?
3.He does not have full comprehension of the Organization, nor its, objectives, policies etc.,If he does not have personal & thorough knowledge, how he can become a Team Leader?
4. For a moment, if we think that he has the wherewithal (financially) to become and therefore he has become Leader by having minimum of 2000 Sales Versa. Points and 1000 Action Versa points. He is conferred Bronze Team Leader. O.K. But he has to sustain that cadre. Will he be able to do it month after month? It is impossible and highly improbable. The question is Why? He

can not every month have a S.O with 1500 V.Pts and earn , 500 points through sales or purchases. Earning 1000 Action Versa Points is really tough. Might be it is true, he has become one or 2 months. But third month he will be forced to get down to EA2 position. It would have been possible by at least having 2PSAs orTwo CSAs, or one PSA & One CSA, Then he can consider to go to that stage. But single-handedly, he will not develop energy to go further in business but develops frustration & even steps out of SFI.

What I mean to say is one Affiliate must naturally grow in to a Leader, but it should not be attempted to be achieved per force. At best it can only be transitional but not longstanding.. We should not forget natural growth which is from within, natural and continuous is the grwoth what we desire. But not artificial growth which is a growth by accretion (external addition), temporary
and can be reversed any time as it is unnatural. Hope this will help.

I think yes!

Many people here in SFI may argue that without an active team of affiliates none should go for the rank of Team Leader but I think when you become a Team Leader you will definitely receive a team of co-sponsored affiliates some of which may be active. That will definitely build a team for you.

If you have financial ability, you should go for the rank of Team Leader and then definitely build your team not only with CSA but also with PSA. If you cannot directly recruit PSA, you may purchase S-Builder Co-op Unit and you will definitely get some PSA even some active ones. You may also purchase PSAs To Go.

But please remember, without an active team, you cannot do profitable business here. Have a strategy here. Become a Team Leader, maintain for a certain period by which you can be able to build an active team.

Keep patience, you may not be able to get one active member say out of 100 PSA. Don't disappointed for that. Look for ways to recruit more PSA. 5 active PSA may change your fortune. You may ask your nearest friends to join SFI under you. Give them some rewards. They may become gold for you.

Please don't think to earn money within short time. Work hard, you will be rewarded soon. All the best.

This question is very similar to one that was recently asked and I will answer it in the same way - until you have an active team, it is pointless to spend your time becoming a TL.

Your time is better spent in preparation to become an excellent sponsor and Team Leader. You can do this by educating yourself. Complete the Launch Lessons, your daily to-do tasks (red tabs) and all of the other available trainings, especially how to become an outstanding sponsor.

While you are doing this you will likely pick up a CSA or PSA or two and you will want to start working with them in hopes of their becoming active. This is a good time to practice your communication skills with weekly communications like Team Mails, ECards, etc.

As you progress with your education and training with your downline you will be learning what works for you and what doesn't, how to advertise you gateway links and all the other new skills.

Once you have at least two active PSA's or CSA's, then strive for the Team Leader status. That's when it will start to pay off.
