Seven Ways To Be a Good Sponsor in Any Business Opportunity.
Ok. So you sighed-up to a new business opportunity, and tried to learn all the things about your new company, so you can support your new team members. Of course, knowledge always helps especially if you are trying to be a Good Team Leader and you want your team to be successful. You must create effective sponsoring and duplication strategies. You must learn how to lead and grow a large team in order to earn big residual income. Here are seven ways to be a good sponsor for your team.
1. As a team leader, you should always lead by example. Do all the things that you want your downline to be able to follow. Always ask the question from yourself: Could all of my team members do this? Remember: Duplication is key to success!
2. Be especially supportive to every member of your team. Try to put yourself into their shoes. Don't forget: They are your gold currency and you succeeds only if they succeed!
3. Work with your active members and help them with their questions, problems, or anything else that they ask you. If they send you an e-mail, always reply to them in the first 24 hours. Sooner if it is possible. Be compassionate. Show them; you care. Caring will win your trust.
4. Recognize the good work and milestones of your team members. Everyone likes to be recognized and praised for their hard work and accomplishment.
5. Send out to your team weekly newsletters, with the recognition and praise of the hard workers, and encouragement or advice what to do next. For a new affiliate, every step to success can be overwhelming. We all have our doubts and unsecured feeling occasionally and a friendly encouragement from the sponsor might help them emotionally get back on track.
6. When your downline is slowing down with their activities or involvement, or if you want them to reach their goal, set-up some contest for a prize. Some members might like challenges and like to get a prize. Everybody like to win a prize.
7. Finally: always educate yourself with reading new materials, books, tapes, videos on leadership and this way you can find new creative ways to motivate all your team members. Learn from the big success leaders. There are plenty out there on the internet.

Making initial contact
within 12-24 hrs and following up with help and support as needed.
Checking the genealogy on an ongoing basis to see whose active and who
isn't... and recognizing those who are working the program with emails
and stream posts. Always respond to contacts and chat notices. Make
certain they're aware of all details of E365, Wave3, ECA, Pricebenders,
and Daily Grand.

A good
leader in SFI puts his affiliates first in line for his attention. He
answers communications from them and initiates regular communications
with them. He studies his training pages and knows the SFI system pretty
well to enable him to help those who ask for help. He leads by doing
what is necessary to succeed: logs in at least once daily and does the
Daily's. Has a standing order and buys and promotes household and other
products from TC and promotes them to his team. He keeps up his
Leadership Page with useful and interesting material. He never fails to
recognize achievements and encourage and help those who need it. And he
reads and participates in the Forum.

A good
leader leads by example. Therefore the first thing you have to do is to
be a good affiliate; earn you badges. Participate in the programs, ECA,
Wave3, IAHBE, A2A, S-Builder, E365 etc. and show your commitment to SFI
by investing in a standing order. In the process you will gain the
necessary points to move up in the ranks. Teach and mentor your
affiliates to duplicate what you are doing. Offer them incentives like
TCredits, gift certificates and reassign affiliates to get them
started and so that they realise the advantage of having PSA's. Just as
you daily visit your affiliate center check your genealogy so that you
can prompt and offer tips to your downline when they are close to rank
upgrades or at risk to being eliminated from programs such as E365 or
SFI itself due to inactivity (not the latter since you would have kept
them motivated and active :)). Above all boost their self esteem by
applauding and rewarding their accomplishments and highlight their
importance to your organization. (This is a great motivator.) Assure
them of your commitment to their success and challenge them to do their
part to realise this goal which of course is intertwined in your own.
Let this not be lip service. Answer questions and offer advice promptly
and clearly. You create more and better movers at all levels of your
organization and greater earning potential for all.

According to
the president of SFI it's simple LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Whatever you want
your team to do, you do because they are following you. A leader has to
work with others, support and assist their affiliates, communicate with
them, answer emails, questions, concerns etc... A good and proficient
leader must have knowledge of all aspects of SFI, must read and continue
to learn and stay abreast of new occurrences, new initiatives and new
ventures, for example recently launch; announcing ask SC?. Am sure a lot
of the leaders may not be aware of this yet so that is not considered
to be good and proficient. A leader should praise their affiliates,
give them motivation and inspiration and help create interest and
develop strategies to keep them interested (coaching skills to improve
performance). Provide positive, encouraging and uplifting comments
whenever they can. Do continuous training themselves so they can
continue to lead. Last but not least, build your people and never
forget your affiliates. Let them see & feel the best in you!! Think
for you & them, reach for the sky at SFI and teach others to do the
same!!

Communication, Example and Support.
Make sure you are communicating with your downline. Send a newsletter to them each week and answer any questions they may have. Give your time freely to those who are willing to work.
Do as you would have them do. If you say it is a good idea to by a product make sure you have already bought and checked the product for quality. Recommending items for the sake of gaining VP or commissions is not a good practice and many people realise that you are doing this if they buy a product you have recommended and it does not live up to the description you have given it.
Always support your downline and if it is within your means send them a gift of TCredits or a Gift Certificate as a sign of appreciation for their efforts.

A leader is
the one who leads by example and leads from the front. It's the prime
responsibility of the Leader to explore the path to success. He/She uses
all the resources to achieve this. He / She shoulder the responsibility
of materializing the dream rather than leaning on others. A self
motivated powerhouse with a die-hard attitude who imbibe confidence and
optimism in the team. Always helping, never Hippocratic. He/she keeps
the fire of desire to succeed, always alive.
The one, who develops these qualities, is sure the leader.

1.First of
all, you have to be well familiar with SFI. Knowing as much as possible
about the system and about the possibilities, knowledge, the SFI offers
to members for free is the ground on which you could build your business
"house" here. Without this knowledge you could not be helpful for
anybody. But the leader have to be.
2.Your personal experience, your skills from your diversal tryings comes here immediatelly after that and are very useful.
Try to incluse on your own way here also the suggestions of your sponsors, experienced and successful marketers, the knowledge from the SFI Forum and other forums additionally.
3.Share this, step by step, with your downlines and trace the feedback. When something seems not working, try another way. And another...without end! Between the attempts everytime give some time to your downlines, ask them personally, if they needs some additional suggestion, help maybe...encourage them, but not loose too much time with just everybody.
After several group mailings or suggestions it will be soon clear, who deserve your help.
Spent more time and share your "special" knowledge, additional offers with the workers only.
4. Be yourself the best example for your downlines. Think and DO in direction, that you could everytime do something better. The obstacle in front of you doesn't means, it is immpossible to pass by. It's up to you to find the way. You will not find it only if you stop there, without searching the way to pass by.
