Hello dear Festus,
Excellent Question.

Being in this business, you have to have some really deserving, and hard working affiliates in your downline, who are financially challenged and are unable to invest more.
Such cases normally occur in the early months of their joining in.
As their sponsors, its our ethical & moral responsibility to help them out in establishing and settling themselves down in SFI.
Its obvious that your success depends on theirs.

You can certainly offer them some support through the following ways;
(Remember, the support may not always be in the monetary terms)

1. By awarding Gift Certificates (It may of any amount from 2$ min)
2. By awarding them TCredits (Upto 10 TCredits initially, as and when required).
3. By transacting a few dollars directly into their bank accounts
(If they are short of credit for making a standing order) etc.

*** Personally, I would recommend to go for every possible extent by providing them the
maximum support.
*** This will not only increase the interrelationship but also develop an atmosphere of
mutual understanding, trust, and confidence.
*** You shall be repaid soon for all your generosities as your downline will grow day
by day with a max no active affiliates.

I hope, it would help you....
Wish you best of luck, and Stay Blessed.

SFI provides us with the best ways to offer financial help to our affiliates. You can buy them a gift certificate or transfer to them some Tcredits using your genealogy interface.

However, the best way to support a hard-working PSA/CSA who is truly financially challenged is not just by giving them money.

The real need of many are:

1) more guidance to succeed rather than offer financial assistance. Money is not the most important think to succeed here. Though it is required.

2) the right knowledge. You might work hard, but fail for lack of appropriate knowledge.

3) motivation to apply acquired knowledge. Knowledge is useless until applied.

4) proofs that this business is real and that they can succeed too.
Thanks.

To every new EA among my PSAs (and sometimes, among downline, if I see/know there is someone who needs it), I'm sending 5TCs and/or gift certificate with $2. I always send a message, that it is not much, but enough for Pick-The-Price and for W3 starter kit. Then I explain what are the benefits from both.

Further, if I see that they are persistent, working and reading daily and have interests in promotion, I do some reassignments (at least inactive members, so they can start figuring out what sponsor is supposed to do). Hard working PSAs, in their second month, often need a little bit for EA2, so another gift certificate or some TCs for bidding is my next support.

From there on, as for me, that kinds of help are rare. Why? I think that, if one were active and have read all that is given to us, in third month must start to collect his/her results: realized sales and that way commissions AND VPs and VPs from their downline. Of course, they still may need some extra help, but if they followed tips, they should have some TCs acquired for free (from status, from games). With them, third month is easy. This way, it's easy to maintain EA while building the stable team.

Exceptions can be made, of course. But, in that case, you must be sure, that member of your team is the Worker, because we should work ONLY with the workers!

There are ways you can offer support to your down-line who are truly financially challenged. I will list below

* You can transfer TCredits using the Genealogy report
* You can send Gift Certificates
* You can also add them to your Coop for free..but you must also advise them that they should exhaust all free advertising methods to enroll PSA's and not just to depend on all free means.

With this method you are also growing your team and ensuring that they stay motivated as most people will quit SFI within their second or third month especially when they don't have much to invest and not seeing quick rewards turning...and when they obtain the rank of EA and above they will start receiving CSA's which they will start to see how it can be beneficiary to them.

Hope this helps?

All the best in your SFI business!

Great question. There is a real simple answer too.

First things first. We need to get some assumptions out of the way as the question does not clearly do that for us.

In answering this question:

***First I will assume that you are financially capable of providing this support.
***Second, the person whom is financially challenged but a hard working PSA/CSA that you so wish to support is working smart too and not just hard working.

The first assumption is straight forward, if you are capable financially and willing, you have four fantastic resources to use:

1. TripleClicks gift certificates in denominations from up to 100 or higher
2. TripleClicks TCredits which can be transferred up to 100 total before having to request a limit increase
3. Free Affiliate coop shares that you can offer them
4 Affiliate Reassignments from you to them

All four of the above are viable options that all can support well a PSA/CSA whom is financially challenged. This leads to my second assumption and that is this PSA-CSA is not just hard working but working smart too. Meaning they are exhausting every single little avenue to get VP and they are truly now without any further means to get to say EA2 or BTL again without assistance because they are not yet sustainable on their own quite yet.

If these two assumptions, you being financially capable and the PSA/CSA exhausting all avenues and is strapped for money, then the four options above are the best resources at your disposal and you should be using them if it makes sense as it will pay off on the long run.

Hope this sheds some further insight on how to support your cause.

Good luck

I believe that before you can support your hard-working PSA/CSA affiliates, you
should make sure that you have your SF1 business in order first. That means that
in the beginning of the month, you should have your rank taken care of. You
should have your 1500vp, or 3000vp, etc in place first, with a SO or purchases
from your TC store. With your rank taken care, then you have the rest of
the month to decide what to give to your hard-working PSA/CSA.

This maybe in the form of gift certificate to purchase TC. If they check in
everyday and only accumulate 497vp and they are an EA OR ea2 then I would
award them a $20 GC. I would advise them to use it on TC to get the remaining
points that they need. I would also stressed the need to advertise and bid at
the auctions to increase their points.

I would also tell them that with this business, you will have to spend money
if you want to retain your rank in the future.

I hope this answer helps.

You should not financially support your PSA / CSA ??directly, for this reason, that if they stop supporting them leave. The best PSA / CSA ??will be the person who will survive the crisis of the second month. The SFI important is perseverance and determination in pursuit of the goal. Therefore, a better solution than financial support, is learning and showing how did you get yourself to where you are.

There are ways to support the reward system:

1. For example, offer to each gained 500VP of the second month one assigned to PSA
2. Create a Co-OP and add all PSA / CSA ??who obtain a minimum 1000Vp of the second month.
3. Give to everyone who reaches 1500VP within the first month of one P SA (those not active), so that it can perform tasks with to-do lists for PSA Mailer (150 VP)
4. A good way is the way 30 gift cards on TripleClicks. 30 per month, one per day for the most active P SA.
5. Consider also over what your team from where they are and what might be necessary, and adjust your rewards to what they need

Important point- Simple & Straight.

First you have to ensure that your money is useful and you are not just throwing it off to wrong person by identifying the Movers

1. They have taken enough time to read all the Launch pad,tutorials,internet lessons
2. They have the drive in SFI Business based on their interactions
3. They are active for more than 2 months - this shows their dedication and consistency
4. They do all to-do-activities everyday

Then you can support them based on your affordable methods as below

1. Transferring some Tcredits- This is the easiest way to recognize almost immediately to buy something or to bid in pricebender
2. Re assigning the affiliates to increase their network
3. Going for advertisement co ups- Either share or 100% to build their network & yours too
4. Gift certificates, Gift cards

It is better to issue the gifts which can be used in Tripleclciks which motivates everyone & grow this business by networking. Purely WIN-WIN

It's a good idea, in this situation, to find out as much information as possible about the affiliate in question and what the needs really are.

If the person truly proves that he/she is a hard worker and really needs financial support to grow in this business, then give some TCredits or a gift certificate or some reassignments of affiliates (if you have enough EAs to do so) or give affiliates through one of your co-ops. As the affiliate grows stronger and is able to support himself/herself financially because a team is well established, then you can begin to change the financial support so the affiliate can learn to help others along the way, just as you have done. In every way, teach affiliates to do what you are doing so they will learn to not be dependent financially on others, but to help others to do the same.

It's good when people learn that hard work pays off and not to be dependent financially. However, there are times when the unexpected happens. At those times, we should all help support those in need, no matter how large or small.

Hello!
Your Question is somewhat tactical, but let me give a try.
I am a Executive Affiliate today but some few months ago I was consistently working very hard only getting 330 to 450 versa points which can’t qualify me to becoming an EA, not until my 4th month when I got a boost from my Co-Sponsor with a GC worth $2.00 followed by numerous TC. This very act by my Co-Sponsor rejuvenated me and gave the audacity to carried out a serious plan which make me to qualified for EA the following month.
The point here is every hard working PSA/CSA deserved support from the Upline Team Leaders. Remember as the Sponsor or Co-Sponsor you succeed only if they succeed.
Now the question is how to render financial support. This can be done in many ways by sending to the bank account of the PSA/CSA if they reside in the same locality with the team leader or by hand. But if in other country there are more than 40 payments/Receiving channels that can be utilized depending on the type accepted in the country to which you are sending the cash. The easiest one is Western Union Money Transfer and so many others.
I think it all depends on your financial capability to helping your hardworking downline Affiliates to grow in the team as your No 1 responsibility as the Sponsor or Co-Sponsor. Normally here in SFI the best way to assist your hardworking donline Affiliates is by sending them GC,TC or any other redeemable item that they can used to set up a standing order to becoming a EA. Have I made a positive contribution to this question? I believe I do. Thanks For reading it.
