- How will you go about achieving your desired results?
The answer to this, you can call strategy.
- Do you have a business plan set up?
Clearing up all these questions will help you define your next objective, keeping you in the right track in growing your SFI business.
1. What do you want to achieve?
Most people joined SFI to supplement their income and improve their living standard. SFI affiliates have the potential to earn a residual income. You can call this your final objective, achieving your long term goal. Before you can achieve that, you have to undergo the stages of growth as you follow The Plan. The Plan defines the steps to get to top earner level by attaining the rank of DTL (Diamond Team Leader).
There are 6 steps to DTL:
1. Step One – Advance to the rank of EA as a monthly qualification.
2. Step Two – Advance to the rank of BTL as a monthly qualification.
3. Step Three – Advance to the rank of STL as a monthly qualification.
4. Step Four – Advance to the rank of GTL as a monthly qualification.
5. Step Five – Advance to the rank of PTL as a monthly qualification.
6. Step Six – Advance to the rank of DTL as a monthly qualification.
As you can see above, SFI designed the structure of how you go about your objectives to attain the top earner level. To achieve every Step, you have to fulfill SVP and AVP requirements. The SVP requirement can be met through generating TC sales or you have the option to purchase TC products/services. The AVP requirement can be met through the daily/weekly/monthly free actions, TripleClicks Special Actions, Bonus AVP or developing EA2s, etc.
In your case you’re an EA2 (Step One). You have to maintain EA2 before you can go to your next objective which is Step Two – advancing to the rank of BTL. Between these steps you will have to ask the following questions:
- How will you go about achieving your Step Two?
You have to come up with a strategic plan which identifies the steps or strategies to achieve BTL. Your strategic plan should focus on all areas such as team leadership, sponsoring new affiliates, team building (developing EA2s), training and support, etc. You need to invest considerable amount of time and some financial investment for these activities. Your strategic plan answers "how will I do it?" questions. It includes a detailed action plan for your goals.
- Do you have a business plan set up?
A business plan sets your course. It answers “what do you want to do?” questions. It includes your organizational structure, marketing plan and financial projections. Its purpose is to define where you want to take your SFI business.
Bottom line, the business plan and the strategic plan are both essential planning tools for your SFI business. Where one may provide more value than the other depends on your stage of growth and what you’re trying to achieve
