Good day Erika,

This is a very nice question and i do hope based on my experience, I would be able to assist you in strengthening your team.

As a team leader, we lead by example. Like I have a Standing Order which is t credits that I get 1500 versa points. I let them know that with a minimum of 1500 versa points Standing Order, that they will get 100 versa points as bonus. The badge is usually displayed on your leadership page.With that, they will believe you.

Another way of encouraging your team members is by guiding them on how to play EZebra games especially Card King. Let them know the importance of sidekicks and how each 1 t credit spent equates to 1AVP. With the action vp, helps to build their ranks. Winning is what motivates and if they see your badge, they would have the belief that they can do it.

Remember as the saying goes, seeing is believing. As good sponsors, we need to encourage and motivate them and with that, they can also duplicate your actions. Work with the workers, encourage and motivate them and you will get nothing but the best.

I am really happy with my approach and it has worked well with me.

I do wish you the very best Erika.

Leading by example in SFI literally means doing activities and acquiring some sort of recognitions or achievements worthy to be looked up on by your affiliates. This is also applicable to EAs and basic affiliates alike because even them can have a roster of their own PSAs.

You can simply do this by logging in to your account daily so all of your PSAs and CSAs will also be encouraged to log in daily upon seeing your daily VP Streak badge. The higher the number there is on that badge, the more they are likely to want to acquire the same or even be more challenged to beat it.

Badges are very good motivators. Try acquiring the best badges you can possibly have at the soonest time possible so you'd have a lot more to show to your downlines. They are such excellent leadership boosters. Your affiliates will be eager to know how you came up with those badges and will in turn be pushed to explore our system even further to be able to maximize every opportunity it takes to earn every single badge available. Of course, they are not just after the badges as badges but they would want to earn those badges too because they give some sense of achievement or recognition. They simply mean, the affiliate has already achieved something at an early stage of the business.

Send them mails every now and then about how you make sales or how you advertise. You might have some marketing strategies in mind that they do not know yet. Your sent messages will give them an idea on how they would communicate with their affiliates as well.

Maintain a constant presence in the forum so that everytime your affiliates see you and your posts, they would be motivated to participate in the threads too or even start a thread or create their own posts. This will make their knowledge base on SFI deeper or broader. Who knows, later on, they will transcend into forum gurus and make them the best representatives of our company.

Present them concepts on innovating SFI and TC products by directing them to pose questions or suggestions at our Ask Gery column. Do this by posting your big picture question to Gery himself. If they see your point and the impact it brings, they might as well be the greatest contributors on SFI development through the Ask Gery page.

Try your best to win even once on auctions. Seeing their leader win something from an auction means it is never impossible for them to win too. Sometimes, when you don't see someone within your group to actually win something, you won't really believe that you'll be able to win there too. They, and I'm sure everyone else just need a little proof of anything. The same applies on games too.

Submit questions to Ask SC. When they see you there, they might as well follow your lead.

Take them to your blogs or websites so they will see how you incorporate SFI and TC in every activity you do online. Give them a tour on the kind of products you usually promote just so they can have a grasp on the products they might be missing on.

Everytime SFI introduces something new, be one of the premier subscribers so that your affiliates will also be encouraged to jump on quickly at every new opportunity.

To sum up all these, just be everything that you would want your affiliates to be.

We've grown up hearing the saying, "Monkey see, monkey do." But in SFI it's not that easy. When we want our PSAs and CSAs to duplicate what we do and teach it to their PSAs and CSAs, then we really have to focus their attention upon what we want them to take into their routines. And there are many, many things that fall within that category.

Looking at our badges gives us an idea of the different categories that must be covered when teaching duplication. It's not enough to just say, "Do what I do. Earn the badges I earned." Many new affiliates have not seen the importance of the badges, have not looked into how to earn them, and think they are purely for bragging.

As part of the lessons about duplication, they should be directed to look at the badges, the sponsor should tell why each set of badges, keyed by color, is important for a leader and what needs to be done to earn them.

As part of the preparation for teaching this, the sponsor should gather as many of the badges as possible, each with a respectable ranking. Then he can tell his team what he did to earn them, and why he thinks they are important.

The badges cover the obvious things that should be duplicated, but there are other things that a sponsor does that may not be seen by everyone of his team. What comes to mind now is the willingness for a sponsor to treat his team members as individuals while he is dealing with the team as a whole. We write team mail. A PSA who never communicates with his sponsor may not know how wisely his sponsor can answer individuals with questions. A PSA who never visits his sponsor's Leadership Page may not know the wisdom of having contests with rewards to stimulate the affiliates. These things and more are part of an awesome sponsor's tool chest, but those who don't participate won't know or duplicate them.

So a sponsor must also tell the team in his team mail what he is doing, encourage them to not only participate in those activities, but also to use them as tools in their own leadership. Don't leave it for them to figure out.

Hi Erica
To lead by example requires the following:
1. Being a successful leader. Nobody follows a failure. This is the pivot of everything.Your success will speak in your earnings as well as your badges and what you've won in the business. That is what they will want to see first. This is the yardstick that'l demonstrate your leading example.
2. Being a good example to your team. Show them that SFI works by the way you run your SFI business.
3. Accomplishing first what you are asking them to do. Be a doer of your instructions.
4. The building qualities and skills and the ability to lead. Not everybody can lead but it can be developed. You must have the qualities that make you a true leader. It is these traits your team will also see in you before you can demonstrate your leading example to them.
5. Ability to help and support them when necessary and when needed. John C Maxwell said, 'your team will overlook your absence, but they will never forget your absence when they needed you most'.
6. Ability to teach, train and help them to be successful. This is you duplicating yourself in them. This is the peak of leadership. The ability to train others to the point where you are no more needed and they can operate their business on their own and that without your support. This is like creating other leaders in your team. This is the power of duplication.
7. Ability to win the Leadership Challenge Contest at least once. This badge is the proof of your leadership ability, acknowledged by SFI themselves. This is will boost your team's morale and momentum to accomplish the same.
8. Attaining the Leadership rank.
Like my sponsor would say, 'attaining the TL rank challenges your team to rise higher in rank as well because they see you attain it. If you wait, they too will wait. Waiting for you to attain it first'.
8. Make sure that you attain as much badges as you can with many laurels of winnings to show for it. I realize that you are an ECA. That's good. This will encourage your team members to become one and know that you are a serious leader worth duplicating. That is another way to demonstrate your leading example.
These will boost your confidence to teach, train and lead your team and they'l believe you because they see you do it and they will follow suit.
The above are what i saw in my sponsor that made me duplicate her and it is showing in my business.
Do the same and you will end up showing them by example.
Good luck.

This requires a two way approach on your part, one that relates to your growth and second that relates to your Team members growth.

Leading by example would mean that you should be a team leader first and do all that an awesome Team Leader should do. This would help promote duplication.

In the first part, show progressiveness by:

1. Maintaining you rank month on month and look forward to higher rank.
2. Enhancing your Badges list on regular basis.
3. Remaining active in Eager Zebra games, Price bender auctions, patronizing Tripleclicks.
4. Improving your overall, country and class positions with each month gone by.
5. Being an active member on Forum and by posting questions and answers regularly in Ask SC.

In the second part, you do what helps your team to grow directly;

1. Provide continuous guidance and support to your PSAs. Communicate well.
2. Give them the required training as per the stage they are on. SFI rules of success can be an asset in their growth.
3. Discuss growth strategies and help them implement those. Show them the path you followed to be successful.
4. Set up a co-op to help them set up a team in their initial phase.
5. Make them realize the importance of duplication and show them the path and the plan.
6. Help them unleash the hidden potential of the compensation plan with their growth in their rank.
7. Educate them about all possible ways they can earn in SFI.

I personally try to do these things and the results have changed since I started it. The key to success is your active profile and your active support to the team.

All this not only makes you awesome sponsor but motivate your team members to emulate you and that is duplication.

So, You must present your achievements to them via your Leadership page.Your Leadership page should look impressive and full of various badges.

Take up any multinational, corporate, professional firm or a successful business and ask the Chief Executive Officer where they started off their careers or business! You will hear one answer and that is common to all. It is at the bottom. They all started off as trainees, had apprenticeship and worked in a business that they later left to start off on their own. This is leading by example.

You never ask your workers to do what you do not know how to. This is the meaning of "leading by example" as I understand it. This is an important lesson to learn when building your business and this means that if you are not prepared to undertake the following tasks, do not expect your PSAs or CSAs to follow you.

* log in daily - show the commitment to your business with your action. Maintain your daily VP Streak

* ask questions when you do not understand because this is how you will learn, participate in the Forum - hear what others have to say. There is a world wide web on the Forum. Make use of it.

* taking actions by participating in the competitions that SFI organizes means giving yourself a chance to win; winners never get unnoticed and your name in the winners' list is motivation for your PSAs and CSAs.

* your attitude will drive your team so demonstrate it in your encouragement, communication and enthusiasm about the business - your down lines will notice this.

The other pertinent details about your progress with SFI is shown in the various badges you have acquired over time and this speaks volumes about your dedication and commitment to the business. Any of your PSAs or CSAs who get to see your SFI Snapshot can immediately tell how well you lead your team or your lack of interest in the business.

This question centers on leadership. Ironically, there are two (2) scenarios to which one can lead by example: failure and success. And of course, when it comes to our SFI business, we are talking about how to lead by example toward success.

There are various pictures I would like to present to demonstrate success-leading by example:

1. Standing Order Badge- You should believe in money investment with your SFI business by having a standing order of at least 100 TCredits. If you have this badge, you are serving as a strong example for your team that investing money to insure your EA status each month in one important element of success here.

2. Daily VP Streak badge- this is the proof of your being patient, focused, persistent and consistent. It is not easy to establish a daily routine in a new work/business. But since you are the leader, you should inspire your team to plant the seed for a thousand day VP streak! This is based on the assumption that you are there to make it big in 1-3 years.

3. Status/Rank Badges- your present affiliate status tells if you are a working leader by example.As an Executive Affiliate or a Team Leader, your corresponding badge proves your track record. Your downlines will see and emulate what you do in terms of achieving such milestones in your SFI business. As you go up the ladder to the top as a Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond team leader, the appeal of your badge will persuade and motivate.

4. Eager Zebra Game badges- it is important to lead by example in playing the games. With your EZ games achievements, you are telling your team that SFI business is both play and work.

5. ASK SC/Forum presence- If you can, submit questions or answers to the ASK SC to have the chance to earn extra free VersaPoints if you get to be among the top 3 authors. And if you are recognized as one of the top authors, you are in essence leading by example in the knowledge building attitude that affiliates must possess to be well-versed in this business. As the saying goes, "readers are leaders".

6. And the last but not the least, believe that "only quitters fail". If you have this attitude and mind-set, you are the best leader to your team members.

All the above are just some of the ways you can adopt to lead by example and help propel your team to the top. While there may be different approaches to apply them, the effect will be generally related in terms of results.

Hello Erica

You can demonstrate this to your PSAs and CSAs through “Leading by Example”. Few examples are enumerated below:

1. Score maximum Versa Points and generate more sales at tripleclicks. In order to create maximum income, you need to have a team of active members and maximize your Versa Points Matching.

2. VersaPoints Matching means that every month you can get matching shares of the TripleClicks Executive Pool on every affiliate under you within up to 12 generations downline (and on every one of your Co-Sponsored Affiliates, too). In other words, for every VP they earn, YOU can earn matching VP!

3. Many SFI affiliates earn thousands of matching shares every month on the activities of hnudreds/thousands of affiliates! YOU can join them by following the guidelines provided in this article: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=191295

4. Do lead by example. Perform all the action that you wish your team should perform and you will see them following you.

5. Provide and offer the best support to you downline they may need always. Never forget that YOUR success depends upon their success.( https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/ROSYouSucceed)

6. You should "work with the workers" and never forget this critical principle. (https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/ROSWorkWithWorkers).

7. Complete fully your Leadership page (https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/LeadershipManager) and then keep it fresh by checking it at least weekly for needed updates and/or for adding new content

8. Send out a weekly newsletter to your entire downline and CSAs. You can use the group mailer in your Genealogy, the PSA Mailer, and/or CSA Mailer. Think up your weekly newsletters as follow-ups. In the advertising world, it's well-known that most people have to be exposed to something at least 10 times before they even notice it...and often many times more before they will take action such as making a purchase. Use this knowledge to your advantage with a regular, weekly newsletter!

9. Post a message on your SFI home page's Stream tab at least every three days. Post a brief word of encouragement, a short tip or insight, a favorite quote, a quick comment regarding a recent SFI news item, a thank you, recognition of team members who have reached a milestone, or just a description of what you're doing to build your SFI business today.

10. Use your SFI badges to lead by example. Note that, when your team members visit your Leadership Page (or view your Affiliate Snapshot), your badges are displayed to them. Your team members will do as you do. Hence, make sure everything you want them to do you've got the badge for on YOUR page...such as: Fast Track, Standing Order, a high Power Rank, a high VP leaderboard rank, W3 membership, E365 finalist, S-Builder, etc. If your page isn't sporting these badges, don't expect your downline members to work for them either. That’s what we call ‘Lead by example’!


Hope it helps
