As a new Team Leader, you should still be trying to gain as many PSAs as possible, but at the same time you should be developing and training those who are showing a keen interest in succeeding with SFI. As your numbers increase, you will quickly be able to spot your star Affiliates and, as you do that, you will want to help them keep up their enthusiasm. You will then begin to think of reassignments.

The number of PSAs is not always the best determining factor as to when you should begin to reassign.Reassigning affiliates is one way to bolster enthusiasm, if done in the right manner. It also strengthens your team. And it gives the chance to group people from the same country, language, culture together so all can understand how to succeed with SFI.

So you will want to look at your list of PSAs who are eligible to be reassigned.
You will find there are three groups:
1) Those that have not make much progress since logging in,
2) Those who have worked on their To Do List but have stopped
3) Those who has earned at least 600 vp in the past 90 days.

Now you will have to determine the purpose you are doing the transfer:
1) So you can get the 5 vp for doing the transfer
2) So the receiving PSA will have someone to write and receive the 120 vp per month for using the mailers
3) To truly give your star PSAs a start on building an active team.

Then you look to see who fits into which category.

You will probably find that you have an over abundance of do-nothing PSAs and you can easily reassign them to your PSAs who need some in order to begin to learn the Genealogy, use the Mailers, and learn how to lead. There' probably no question of whether you can afford to give them up. EXCEPT you must prepare your receiving PSA to understand that these are to help him practice using the methods SFI provides so he will be ready when he gets some active PSAs of his own.

As you look at your list of PSAs, you will look to see how many workers you have that are worthy of receiving reassigned PSAs and how many you have to reassign. Remember, you do not want to give out all of your good workers. This is not a one time process.
You want to keep some promising workers for yourself.

It is said that 5 good workers will eventually build a decent sized group of workers. I would keep more than that in my front line, So I would not begin to reassign the good workers until I had more than that number.

Also, the person being reassigned and the receiving PSA should be notified and
assured of the benefits for both of them, and asked if they are ready for this reassignment.

If when you look at your list of PSAs and you have some who are really working hard enough to be rewarded with valuable, working PSAs, but you do not have many available working PSAs to reward all of your reward worthy PSAs, then stack them.

Lets say that A has 600 vp and two working PSAs, B has 750 vp with 3 PSAs, C has 450 vp with no PSAs, and D,E,F have less than 100 vp. C needs the practice and use of the mailers so give him D,E, and F with the understanding that they will give him experience and when he proves himself, you will give him an active PSA. Then give C to B as a reward to B and a help to C. And finally give B to A not only as a reward, but also as a challenge to keep ahead of B.

This not only builds depth, but rewards A,B,and C, by giving B, C, D, E, F potential successful upline, while retaining your help in the future. You only earn 5 vp from this reassignment, but you are building depth and strength into your team.

Another very useful use for reassignments is to link affiliates who speak the same language or have the same culture. By placing a downline under an active person who speaks the language and knows the local ins and outs, it can strengthen him and make the business a lot easier on those who don't understand what it's all about.

This cultural reassignment might bring strength to your team even before you feel that you have enough generation 1 PSAs.

This is one of the most important questions that should be in the mind of every leader. Thank you, Pstricia, for bringing it up.

First of all one should understand the reason, why is it a good idea to reassign PSAs under other PSAs in the first place. Of course, the best insights on this are delivered by Gery in this article:
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/AskGery011907

Now, if you really believe in your hart that reassignment is a right thing to do, that it is better to have team of two PSAs, one under another, than just two separate PSAs, then the right time to do the reassignment is when you have 2 PSAs! That's right, there is no benefit of waiting until you have hundreds of PSAs to do what is right. Why wouldn't one want to give his first PSAs the same chance of success as PSAs they recruit later on?

Of course, you want to do it smart. Here are just some ideas how I suggest doing the reassignment:

- typically you want to reassigned PSAs under someone who is strong. Better chance that that person would provide leadership and support that their newly assigned PSAs need. And, hopefully, that leader would do the same thing that you are doing and reassign some people under them.

- PSAs who are have great communication with their uplines are the best candidates to receive reassignments, in my view, since they are more likely to appreciate what are you doing for them.

- If you have very significant number of new PSAs, you can run a contest with your existing PSAs, to encourage them to do more in order to get reassignments.

- another tip: its always good to get over 20 VPs per day to get extra chance in Daily Grand contest. So, on slow days, when you had only 11 VPs from daily actions, you can boost your total by doing reassignments to get you over 20 VPs. You get 5 VPs per reassignment of a PSA who had over 600 VPs in the last 90 days. You never know how those extra chances to win can improve your business.

In summary, get on board with the concept of reassignment as early as you can, it is never too early to become a leader!

Under the SFI policy, you are only able to reassign an affiliate when you become a Team Leader. After reassignment, the reassigned affiliate become the new PSA of the receiving affiliate. We are only able to reassign once and it is an irreversible action, in that you cannot take back your reassigned PSA. I have to make this clarification because I have seen a similar question ''pop up'' in the forum before.

Why would a Team Leader want to reassign an affiliate when he/she earns the largest matches on the affiliate on the first generation? The reason is ‘’leverage’’.

The ideal SFI model entails team leaders to have 5 active Team Leaders as PSAs. The more team leaders you have in your genealogy, the more security you build for yourself. Each team leaders build their own active downline which is also a part of your team!

And so the networks of generation continue to grow to enviable proportions. We all know that, in the long term, you are better off with five Team Leaders on your frontline, than 25 EAs, or even 50 EAs.

As a ''rule of thumb'' if you don't have many personally sponsored Executive Affiliates (EA), you may not want to use the reassignment tool yet. This is because developing and maintaining EAs help you earn enough VersaPoints to qualify as a Team Leader (TL). In other words, if you want to keep receiving all the benefits of being a TL, you don't want to give away too many of your personally sponsored EAs.

Thus, "As a new Team Leader, how do you know when you have enough PSA's to reassign to your downline?"

You should know this when you have at least 5 active and committed Team Leaders in your first generation as PSAs. Reassignment though not compulsory, is a very good tool to encourage commitment and team building.

It is my humble submission that affiliate reassignment is a strategy and a great tool every one of us Team Leaders should begin to think about and possibly act upon. It is better to have 5 Team Leaders in your frontline than 25 or more EAs.

Thank you for reading.

The number varies from leader to leader. Everyone has his own satisfactions level. Few thinks 5 good and active ones are enough to get going few thinks 10 is the minimum number. I would suggest few points to consider before reassigning

1. If you get and good and quality affiliates early in your business do not hesitate to reassign him affiliates even you have only few. Because you will rarely find them. So once you start rewarding he will perform better. This will keep your team in a right way.

2. If you want to reassign just for the shake of reassigning, then you always have your inactive affiliates. But thats not at all in the spirit of business or reward.

3. If you really want to reassign quality affiliates to down line then just ensure you got atleast 5 good affiliates under you who can make you to BTL atleast every month. Then you can start reassigning.

Hope it is helpful

That's a great question. Its initially confusing to everyone, regarding how to know at what point the reassignment will be most beneficial to build the business..

The answer is very simple if we understand the basics behind the reassignment.The reassignments are done, when

1. The sponsor is having too many PSAs that he could not clear all the doubts of all the PSAs..

2. An actively working PSA who needs a team.. That active PSA may be financially weak to afford for S-builder or co-ops or posting priced ads.So reassignments are an act of encouragement to that active PSA..

3. As a reward to a PSA for winning the contests organised by the sponsor in the Leadership Page or in the co-ops..


Now back to the question..If the sponsor can help and support all the first generation PSAs in their team, there is no need for reassignment.. On the other hand if the sponsor is busy or has too many affiliates that he couldn't manage, then it is time for reassignments..

The most important thing is, to whom the sponsor reassigns the PSAs.. The downline to whom the sponsor reassigns the PSAs must be active.. If the new sponsor is inactive, the reassigned affiliates will lose hope.. So the new sponsor has to be the active downline...

The PSAs who are being reassigned to new sponsor must atleast be active (though not EAs).. Otherwise the new sponsor will be a little backed down..

All these things must be considered before reassignments..

This is the answer that i know of.. I hope this answer helps.. Thank you..

I know it is time to reassign PSAs when one of my PSAs becomes an Executive Affiliate. It is one of the most common incentives that most team leaders gave their EAs.

It does not end there though; Team Leaders has a responsibility to make sure that he monitors the progress of the new EA or team leader as he will be receiving questions from his or her down lines.

I feel the frustrations of some of the EAs or team leaders in my down line when their PSAs are not active. When I feel that my team leader is about to give up, I encourage him or her to hang on and persevere. Reassigning a very active affiliate will normally uplift the team leader’s spirit.

It may sound an off-topic but reassigning affiliate based on localities was working fine with me. I looked at my PSA’s country and reassign them to a team leader in the same country. This way, the means of communication are localized, for example, they can easily communicate by phone or practically, meet in person if they belong to the same city.

Personally, I think if you are wondering whether you have enough PSAs to reassign, then you are asking the wrong question!

Questions you should be asking are:

1. Do I have PSAs who are working hard to build their business?
2. How can I best help those PSAs?
3. Will reassigning PSAs (or even one PSA) to them help to motivate, encourage and reward them?

There are probably more good questions, but those are the ones I ask myself.

As you can see, there isn't a question there about whether you have enough PSAs to reassign. If you have just two PSAs, and one is clearly working hard, while the other is slower to get started, it can make sense to reassign the slower one to the hard working one. This sends a clear message to the active one that you are very happy about what they are doing, and want to support and help them in any way you can, including passing on one of your precious PSAs to them.

Remember, also, that reassigning PSAs will only cost you direct sales commission (if they spend money at TripleClicks). Your main source of income, in time, will be from matching VP on your PSAs and their teams, and you will still earn that even if you reassign them. Meanwhile, the PSA you have reassigned them to will earn the direct sales commission, and will be very happy and encouraged, and will work harder. So, you really have nothing to lose by keeping your first generation as small as you can.

As soon as you have PSA's that are eligible for transfer.

Reassigning PSA's is a great tool for helping your downline, especially helps new members have some downline themselves. The hardest part of starting out is getting a downline especially if you have limited funds. Even reassigning inactive affiliates gives the new person the opportunity to gain 120 VP points for sending out a weekly newsletter. This gives them practice in writing the newsletter, and they might be able to activate someone that you couldn't. In fact, I have just noticed two people, who have been inactive, becoming active since I reassigned them to members from their own country and language. I reassign members to others from the same country no matter what level they are in my group. I do this in the name of their sponsor.

You can set up a contest where you reassign two members to anyone who reaches EA in their first month. This helps them to strive for EA, and also to reach EA2 easier in their second month.

I have reassigned my active members to people that I felt would be stronger if they made Btl. This has worked and even though I don't have the 5 EA2's in my 1st level, I am down to 5 levels and I have more than 5 who make EA2 every month in my genealogy.

Reassigning is one of the strongest tools we have as members. You don't have to be a team leader to use this tool. Being an EA2 and reassigning can help you reach btl.

Hi Patricia,

Knowing when to re-assign PSAs in difficult, you have to strike a balance between safeguarding your own position and encouraging your other PSAs, you also have to consider if you will actually discourage the PSA being moved.

As we all know you can only move PSAs who have scored 600+ versa points in the last 90 days,and you can't re-assign PSAs who have been re-assigned to you.

To achieve the level of Bronze Team Leader you need to amass 1000 versa points from non-sales activity, you can get around 500 each month from the daily, weekly & monthly actions, and you would get 100 for each EA2 which re-qualifies, so really you need to have 5 good working PSAs before you consider passing any to your downline. That being said if you have a fantastic PSA who is really good at encouraging 'sleepers', you are much better off with an active 2nd level affiliate than you are with a non-active PSA, this also acts as a reward to the PSA receiving the re-assignment.

It's very much a question of knowing the individuals in question, if you know they won't mind being re-assigned, if you know the recipient is going to do a good job at encouraging them, if you know you've tried and can't get any more from them perhaps somebody else can (are you sure you tried hard enough?)

Hope that helps

Very Good Question, I have to say "You'll Never Have Enough PSA's"

Now it is very important to build a strong team and a stronger network, when you reassign PSA's you are not just doing it as a reward, you should see this action as part of your planning to get strong network bases, and as a result a more stable, larger and solid income.

You must realize that reassigning would guaranteed a regular income on your hard worker PSA's, this would stimulate their performance; the more they get the more you do.

And as bottom line, remember this business is base on duplicating and replicating so if they learn well they will do the same, and that would guarantee the constant growing of your Network. Increasing exponentially your network value.

Have a Very Successful Day... SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!!
