SFI system has been designed for everyone who wants to supplement his/her income or earn residual income depending on one's goal with or without experience in network marketing.

It offers training and support for basic, intermediate and advanced level to achieve its purpose of fulfilling the core principle of SFI, which is duplication.


The SFI system which includes SFI tools and resources contains so much information designed for affiliates to learn and acquire the necessary skills for a successful network marketing business. It covers the A-Z of network marketing that if implemented extensively, an affiliate will greatly benefit in expanding and growing his/her own SFI business.

If you are an experienced network marketer, you can add some of your own touches and strategies, but I would recommend not to deviate from the concept of SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD.

You can develop and enhance your own marketing strategies based on the principles above by doing the following:

- Keeping yourself inform about the latest in network marketing and how best you can apply them in your SFI business.

- Implement the latest techniques designed to increase your exposure and expand your list of targeted prospects.

- Staying up-to-date with the latest about networking strategies in social media.

- Join groups that might be looking for your knowledge, form relationships there by asking questions, looking for a need (read the feeds) and be there to be an expert on that “need” with either a comment, a link to your blog or a question and so on.

Conclusion:

In adding your own touches and strategies, make sure that you adhere to the affiliates agreement (terms and conditions) set by SFI.

Before answering your question, I would like to address the aspects of moving up to a higher rank and the difference of training and support. Presenting these two aspects will give you a clear picture of the course of action that you need to take.

You should continue to try training and supporting them, because you know the importance of communication in building relationship. A well coordinated effort in building your downline will pay off in the long run as you maintain to stay connected with them.

What are the factors that would influence your PSAs/CSAs to move up to the higher rank faster than you?

- They’re fast learners.

- They’re well disciplined in their time management by consistently putting in their time and effort to learn the SFI system and they’re go-getters.

- They’re result-oriented driven.

- They have set up both their short and long term goals.

- They invest financially by allocating and maintaining a sound budget to expand the growth of their SFI business.

- On the other hand, an affiliate can move up faster to higher rank by collecting all his/her training AVPs in his/her first month and topping it up with financial investment. Time will tell, if his/her business model is sustainable.

What’s the difference between training and supporting your PSAs/CSAs?

- You can support the members of your team on a variety of ways, including training, coaching, mentoring and providing emotional support. It can all seem confusing to many people to explain the difference between them.

- Training is a planned and structured process aimed at improving affiliate’s work-related skills and knowledge.

Equipped with the above information you can do the following to your affiliates, who advance faster than you:

- In the case of your affiliates who are experienced marketer, ask their input, tips and advices for the development and growth of your whole team. Particularly, you can ask their cooperation to share their marketing plan and strategy for the benefit of everyone in your SFI organization.

- For affiliates who collect all their training AVPs in their first month and are relying on investing more financially to move up to higher rank quickly, you will need to emphasize to them the proper training to run a profitable SFI business. They would need your coaching and mentoring. This would be the perfect situation where you can make use of the knowledge you gained from the first case.

- In both cases always be prepared to provide your emotional support especially when your affiliates are having challenges which may result in a sudden inactivity. This is the time when they need your encouragement and motivation the most.

It is a great motivation to see your affiliates advancing, whether they’re moving up faster than you or not, continue to train and support them. Everyone has the potential to become a top performer and a tremendous asset to your SFI business.
