To get your downline to focus on duplication, as a Team Leader you must have established a good relationship with them. Building a close relationship will take time. This can be in the form of group support message, promotion/incentive and recognition. Constant communication with your downline is very vital to build this kind of close relationship. If you have shown to them that you are there for them in their journey with SFI, then they will most likely listen to your tips and advice.

By displaying your badges like, as a top enroller, S-Builder Co-op, Power Rank, etc. on your Leadership page, you are leading a good example to them.

You can explain to them that they will be able to achieve the highest Team Leader, a PTL as they continue to step up their sponsoring consistently, keeping in mind the guidelines in “Be an Awesome Sponsor”. Let them know that by giving back to invest some of your SFI earnings in the form of promotions and incentives (Gift Certificate or TCredits) in helping them, you are performing duplication. By doing this, you want them to be highly motivated.

The first thing I would do is define Duplication to your downline.

In SFI "duplication" is the action of generating a certain number of PSAs in your downline and teaching them to do the same.
For example: acquire 5 active PSAs, who you then teach to acquire 5 each of their
own active PSAs and so on ( up to 12 levels in SFI).
Each must build their own team to succeed in generating a long
term residual income.

The idea is they will follow your lead with your support.

-Your actions and progress in SFI carries the greatest influence on your downline.
-You must be willing to teach duplicating methods, advertising, sales and so on
in your daily/weekly communication with your team is very important.
-Focus can be enhanced by using a reward system for sign up goals.
-Consistent recognition of their progress is a moral builder.
-You may try a freelance reward system based on progress for your
individual achievers.
-Use contests to keep them motivated and on target.
-Encourage goal setting.

Your ability to monitor your team and follow up with relevant information and
tools to assist them in their business is key to everyone's success.

Keep your Leadership Page up to date with tools and articles.

Good "duplication" begins with you and your ability to teach your downline.

Hello. Simply tell your downline to do as you are doing. That is, if you are duplicating.

The point to stress is that every business needs workers to take care of everyday tasks. So, also their business at SFI needs workers to do the daily tasks at hand and on a daily basis.

Stress the fact that without their own downline, they will be like a small boat struggling in a high storm, being tossed about.

You could also suggest to them to opt in to S-Builder, have a Standing Order and in general keep doing the daily tasks every day. I would suggest to them that they go over all the training that Gery has provided in SFI and not to just read it but to learn it.

Going over the Launchpad would also help a great deal.

They could start with family and friends, who are easier to chat to about SFI, and from there they can gain the confidence to speak to neighbors and work colleagues.

Get them to send out E-Cards, post fliers, or send emails to only people that they know. There are many places where one can advertise for free as well.

I hope this will help and wish you all success.

Its actually pretty easy. You can't force anyone to do anything, but if you give them the proper information, they will most likely follow it, or at the very least find a method that they prefer that will still make them successful, which in turn makes you successful.

First and foremost, before you preach anything to any of your down line, make sure you do it yourself. If you're telling people that they need to have a Standing Order, but you yourself don't, they are going to think that you are just benefiting from money that they are spending. Also, if you say one thing and do another in one instance, they will think that you do that for everything you say.

Next, pick out a few good, basic things that you do in order for you to earn some VPs and or PSAs. Some good things to mention are Standing Order, S-Builder Co-Op, Daily Grand contest, Your Daily Actions, etc. etc. Advertising techniques are a great thing to mention too. Posting flyers in public places, giving out TC giftcards, posting links on social media sites, etc. Give specific examples of what you did for each type of advertising strategy.

Having people copy you in the roundabout way is better than actually saying "Duplicate Me" or "you need to do everything I do in order to be successful". Tell them everything you do in an email, and they will either naturally copy you, or they will get their own ideas from things that did or didn't work for you.

Hope this helps. Good luck to everyone!

Duplication is the most important factor in creating wealth with SFI. Therefore affiliates must become aware of this in their initial stage of joining SFI. The person responsible for ensuring that this is done is the Team Leader.

It is not to be assumed that they already know. After explaining the duplication process and its importance inform the affiliate that they do not need to sponsor hundreds of people to be successful. Once you have five good persons you can work with that and be successful. The emphasis should be on quality rather than quantity.

First, check the profile of each affiliate to identify your most serious workers. Observe their strengths and work with them anyway you can. You might observe that some have leadership skills, some experience in marketing and some state that duplications is the area that will prove to be most difficult for them. Work with each one and gradually get them active. Then you can encourage them to work together as a team.

Organize competitions. For the most timid ones, encourage warm advertising at first, then move on to social advertising like, face book, twitter, etc. Furnish them with free advertising sites and even help them to word it nicely. Give reward for actions, consistency and progress. When they see how you work with them patiently, they will transfer this same care to the new affiliates and the CSAs they are given to take care of.

This is a nurturing process and we must be patient with them. Constantly keep reminding them that success will come if they don’t give up and always let them know that you are behind them one hundred percent.

Getting your downline to focus on duplication is one of the rules of success. As you are explaining to your downline about how to be successful, expressing the importance of duplication is part of your pitch.

Duplication will help them earn more money. As soon as they have several EA2's in their downline, they will be getting extra action points for supporting them and it will be easy to become BTL and higher. Once reaching Team Leader status, their income will go up because they receive compensation for their downline's VP as well as their own. As the duplication continues, with their downline, it continues to grow.

Since duplication is one of the rules of success, it should be easy to convince your downline the importance of the process! They should be excited and be working on their own downline.

I have recently started seeing success with some of my own downline and it has fired me up and gotten me more involved with SFI! It will happen with your downline as well! Good Luck!

Good question.

Lead by example. If they see what you do works, they will duplicate what you do. Period. Be sure to practice what you teach your downline. If you say do A, you better be doing A too. Successfully too. Remember, you, yourself, should be duplicating your up line or SFI mentor that is producing well.

How can you teach duplication if you are not also successfully duplicating from someone else your efforts. Last thing you want is to teach your downline, whether you are doing it too or not, to duplicate the wrong effort.

To summarize. You need to be duplicating successfully your efforts first. Then teach your downline to duplicate you by leading by example and your results will be the pudding in the pie. If they see results, you don't need to spend a lot of time explaining the importance of duplication as they will likely pick it up.

SFI success is predicated on duplicating what we know already works. In laments terms, that is

Learn to become EA
Remain EA
Build a downline of 3-5 strong PSA
Teach them to do the same.

That is duplication in its simplest terms.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

I am glad that this question is asked because our SFI business largely depends on Duplication.

Duplication simply means you will encourage your affiliates copy what you are doing, and in return they will also encourage their affiliates to do what they are doing.

With this simple concept of duplication there are very important elements that must be present in order to duplication to occur.

1. Since duplication starts from you, you must do something worth duplicating. The least that you should do is you are maintaining a rank by accumulating VP' and you are recruiting affiliates. if you want them to focus on duplication, you yourself is focusing on duplication.

2. Not all your affiliates can do or will do duplication. Identify movers and you must work only with few interested PSA's. You can easily identify them even at the time they join SFI. They are usually the fast trackers. They complete their profile and give you notice that they are ready to go.

3. After Identifying few interested affiliates, tell them that you see in them the great potential to become successful in SFI but they need to focus on duplication if they want to make it happen.

4. You must identify the areas where they will find difficulties as they would try to duplicate what you are doing. Be sure to offer options on how to overcome the difficulties.

5. Help them overcome those difficulties. Do not encourage dependency but rather teach them techniques, specially on finding affiliates.

6. Establish good communication line between you and them. Propose a coaching session if they like.

7. Monitor their progress and always encourage them to persevere.

8. Tell them to pass on what they are learning and doing to their own affiliates.

I wish you and your affiliates big success as you focus on duplication.

Duplication is when you do what you would have them do. The golden rule works very well here. If you want them to contact you, contact them first. If you want them to become an EA, then you must do it first. You should always lead by example. Don't expect your team members to do anything you're not willing to do yourself. Once they see that you've already done what they need to do, they'll be more likely to follow your lead. Show them your badges, and just be a good sponsor and help them to get where you are. They will want badges like yours and anything you can do to help them achieve their goals without preaching at them, the better.

SFI corporate will be working to help them as well, so there is no need for you to keep telling them they need to set up a standing order or what they need to do in order to become an EA. Just send them motivational and encouraging e-mails. Build their trust by not harping at them, or trying to force them to do things. Force never works. It will just make them want to quit. Be gentle and understanding, focus on their needs and they will like you and want to do things to help you.
