So, you'd like to become SFI Group Leader... Here's how, in One Year, or Less!

[bralland]

Wouldn't you like to be a Group Leader in SFI, making thousands of dollars, by this time next year?

You can... in One Year, or Less.

Yes, it really CAN happen!

You actually, realistically, and easily can become a Group Leader in SFI in under 1 Year. It's true!

Before you say, "No way - it can't be done!", read on. I'll show you how.

Just produce one Mutli-Income Qualified (MIQ) affiliate per month! Only 1 - in other simpler words...

MIQ YOU.

Neat, huh? Smile! :) You've just discovered the secret that can soon make you rich, give you free time, and the freedom to do what you want.

Keep reading... the rest is short and sweet.


Here's what is likely the best and quickest way to build your SFI business.

I call it the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan, a 3-step pattern for you to follow, a blueprint your upline is using right now.

1) Buy 10 SVP, each month, to be MIQ, of any product/service of SFI's that you want... your choice at your Affiliate Store in the SFI Affiliate Resource Center.

You should know that SFI never will require that you buy a thing. You can sell retail if that's what you want. In fact, if you're able to sell every month to be MIQ, that's great. That costs you only your time and effort.

Not many people have the desire to sell or can succeed at finding and retailing to customers, but don't let that stop you from trying. Retail success, with customers who buy from you, can add very quickly to your income.

However, there's a better way, a faster way that takes much less effort on your part. Personal buying to become EA and reach your goals is far easier than selling. And you get the excellent benefits of being EA and using SFI's products and services, whatever they are, with what you've purchased.

Just buy from SFI each and every month. Produce at least 10 SVP monthly. Purchase only what you want at your SFI Affiliate Store. Commit to that, from now on.

OK, stay with me.

The cost of buying to be EA isn't much.
Your investment can be as little as $29.95 each month (for an IAHBE subscription, for example).
Or just a bit more for SFI's quality and exceptional and very popular Veriuni products.
Or $39 a month for your subscription to Affiliate Mastery.
Or simply pick whatever you like or want.

Just buy at least 10 SVP every month.

You see, a monthly SFI Standing Order to IAHBE and Veriuni or a monthly subscription to Affiliate Mastery works great to keep you MIQ.

Why do you want to be EA each month?

The reason is, being EA qualifies you for higher levels of income. EA qualifies you for promotion to PTL and GL. EA give you special perks. And SFI has some really neat stuff you'll like to use, or for resale.

Whatever it is you decide to purchase, believe me, it's going to be well worth it. Why? Because soon, very soon (perhaps within 3 months or less), if you and your sales team follow this plan, you'll be on a cash flow, profit basis. Cash flowing back to you, in your direction, every month. Just like it is for me. That feels good, really good!

But, there I go, pardon me... I digress.

Here, for your enjoyment, further edification, and increasing excitement,
are the remaining 2 steps of the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan.

2) Find just ONE person, only 1, each month, who promises and takes action to do the same thing as you, and the same as their upline leaders (who already know this secret, this plan - but don't you keep it a secret - tell everyone you can!! - pssst...it's how this plan works - by discovering affiliates like you who want to build their own succesful SFI business and are willing to commit and take action to do it).

3) You, and every EA affiliate on your sales team who wants to be GL, must pass along to your downline the entire contents of this document, and they in turn must promise to do the same thing their upline does, meaning each one become a follower this plan, doing it and teaching it (to teach them, email the document to them, or give them the link to this thread).

That's it! That's the plan. In total. Simple as 1, 2, 3!


Now then, here's what's going to happen - and what you experience may seem to you something almost magic.

Month 1 - you're a new EA affiliate, and you start banking your PTL Bonus Pool shares.
Month 2 - there are now 2 EA affiliates you've produced, and you're also producing 20 SVP.

Month 3 - (it's time to get excited)
the 2 of you have each found and produced a new EA affiliate,
and there are now 4 new MIQs that have been created,
and you've become PTL since you're producing 40 SVP,
and you've begun collecting your banked PTL Bonus Pool shares,
and you're now enjoying the extra financial benefits of being a new SFI PTL.

And to top it all off, you're ready to have your very own personal powerline, your sales team, yours to add new affiliates and MIQs and PTLs to, which eventually - next month likely - will qualify you for even more income and benefits from SFI.

You've become a brand new Powerline Team Leader, eligible for all the rewards you've qualified for!

Doesn't that feel good?!


See how easy it is? Just by you becoming and staying MIQ. Don't make your SFI business hard. Keep it fun.

And follow the plan.

If you want to have even more fun, if you want to build your own website to link to SFI gateways or products, that's fine. Or if you want to attempt marketing and advertising, that's OK, although it may be a new discipline for you to excel at, and it can be hard and take much time to do.

But... the major thing is this. Do not neglect the very simple and easy to do GL 1, 2, 3 Plan! It's vital, the key to your SFI success!

Remember, each EA on your sales team MUST produce ONE, and only one, EA affilate every month. YOURSELF. Not at all complicated. You can do it - as can each one on your sales team! You and they must!... That is, if you want to be PTL and GL fast, as fast as the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan will allow you to rise to those levels.


Finally, here's how you get to be Group Leader within 1 year.

Note that it might take a bit longer since you may experience the minor setback of EA affiliates of yours who, for whatever reason of theirs, drop out of this plan (it could happen, but not likely for the ones faithfully following the plan).

For you to be a GL, your sales team needs to be producing just 1,000 SVP each month. Don't be alarmed. Your growing sales team can do that amount easily.

The GL 1, 2, 3 plan makes it simple as 1, 2, 3 for each EA affiliate who wants to become a GL.

Remember...

Each EA stays EA every month.
Each EA produces just one new EA each month.
Each EA commits to and adheres faithfully to the GL 1, 2, 3 plan.

Now that you've seen how the upgrade process works, you're ready to begin anew with your personal powerline, your new sales team.

OK, here we go. Hold onto your hat.

Month 4 - you produce the first new EA in your personal powerline. There's now 1 EA on your new sales team - your team is producing 10 SVP (10 assumed for this discussion).

Month 5 - you've each produced 1 new EA in your personal powerline. There are now 3 MIQs on your sales team - your team is producing 30 SVP.

Month 6 - You and the 3 MIQs produce 4 more, now 7 MIQs on your team producing 70 SVP.

Month 7 - 15 MIQs, plus you, producing new MIQs, 150 SVP.

Month 8 - 31 MIQs producing 310 SVP.

Month 9 - 63 MIQs producing 630 SVP.

Month 10 - 127 MIQs producing 1,270 SVP.

All accomplished by you, and EA affiliates on your sales team, staying EA however you like every month.


Hey! Look what's just happened... YOU'VE BECOME A GROUP LEADER!! And in less than 1 year! And, guess what? Your group now has a lot of PTLs who will soon become Group Leaders just like you, if they, like you,...

Follow the Plan!

Does this plan work? YOU BET!


But, what if it takes you more than 1 year to become a Group Leader? Not a problem. Just be patient, and keep on with the plan. You'll get where you want to be by following and doing this simple and easy direct action plan as long as it takes.

Even if it takes you 3, 4, or 5 years, you can, and will, do it!

Be a Group Leader.

Every day shout, "I AM A GROUP LEADER!". Write those words. Post them on your wall. Group Leader is your dedicated dream and SFI business goal. Make it happen! Get your EA team following the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan today!


Test the plan. See that you can make it work for you and your team. Follow the plan. Become a Group Leader as soon as you can, in the best time possible! You, and your committed EA team, can do it!

Climb this hill. It's just a little one. No mountain. You'll get to the top soon. But, get there. Why? The view and the benefits at the top are most impressive! Believe it!


Simply devoting a minimal investment of your money and/or time can cause your business to explode to your great benefit in just a few months.

The sooner the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan is begun, the better.

Isn't it time YOU started?


DISCLAIMER: To fully implement this strategy you must be PTL with a personal powerline. However, the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan allows for affiliates to begin today, right now, and make PTL quickly. Affiliates on a sales team might not follow the plan. It's up to you, and those who do follow the plan, to see the plan through.

Teach every affiliate you sponsor of the plan's wisdom, workability, and benefit to them. New PTLs produced from your sales team might break away and stop helping you produce MIQs, but each is advised to follow the plan fully.

The plan assumes that ALL EA affiliates sponsor new affiliates, ALL PTLs help upline PTL to GL, ALL PTLs regularly show downline this document, and that each month at least one sales team affiliate commits to follow and act on the plan.

All DBoard members or SFI EA affiliates, and only DBoard members or SFI EA affiliates, who read this thread have my permission to use the document above in promoting to the SFI affiliates in your downline.

[sarsuelo]

Thank you Bill. It's superb!

:BigEyes:

[mactan]

I was almost asleep before I read your post, but now I'm all EXCITED!

Thanks!

[omeomi]

Excellent....excellent...excellent!!! :BigEyes:

[Mr.Frugal]

Question though:

Does my sponsored PTL's Personal Powerline SVP count towards my GL requirements?

[bralland]

Whatever SVP you and your group earn and produce each month that gets you 1,000 SVP per month in your powerline will achieve your goal of GL.

See the GL qualifications at the SFIMG Compensation Plan.

No

You get SVP advancement from his/her EA upgrade plus the 3 MIQs he/she left behind before becoming PTL. Any sales made by him/her personally will however go towards your rank advancement.

All SVP from EA upgrades in your sponsored PTLs powerline goes towards his/her rank advancement.

You still get the commissions on the lot though : )

Someone correct me if I have this wrong. Thanks.

[Mr.Frugal]

GL requirements:

The three qualifications for Group Leader are:

1. You must meet all PTL (Powerline Team Leader) qualifications.

2. You must maintain a minimum of 1,000 SVP in your personal Powerline. Note: only SVP from actual sales may be applied toward GL qualification. Bonus SVP, Promo SVP, and Action SVP are excluded.

3. Group Leaders must actively support all of their personally-sponsored PTL's.

In this thread :

Month 8 - there are now 128 MIQs in your group, and your group is producing 1,280 SVP.

1,280 SVP in your group not your personal powerline.

I still think it's a great thread as far as inspirational, motivational, etc... I sent it out to my affiliates before I realized this.

[Karen Barnes]

Bralland for a Math Major you sure have a way with words.

Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good work as always.

[dwayne]

Bralland,

You did a great job explaining that for our new affiliates. Some of us have a hard time explaining this the right way and you nailed it.

I am sure you did not post to get recognition or praises but they are do.

Have a question for you though.

I am almost done with my Team Training Website. I would love it if I could add a GL123.html page. I just thought I would ask for your permission first. I know you said earlier that it was ok, but did not know if you meant usage in this way.

Thank You,
Dwayne Freeman

Substitute "personal powerline" for "group". Not hypothetical at all. Indeed it should be viewed the way you indicate.

Or put a little statement at the top that gaining Group Leader status depends on what is done in a PTL's personal powerline and that the word "group" in the document means personal powerline. "group" is easier to say than "personal powerline" anyway. Or we could use another word. I do see the argument that it's confusing when considering that a Group Leader (or PTL or EA affiliate) can have many PTLs downline, if one considers that a group.

It works out the same. Just make sure the MIQs are in your powerline. That gets you to Group Leader. Of course, one has to be PTL in the first place to have a personal powerline.

The idea is the word "group", for the purposes of this document, does not mean the same as the word "Group" as used in Group Leader. It means "personal powerline".

My intention as I was thinking this through and composing it was that the word group, in my situation, meant to me personal powerline because that's how one gets to Group Leader, not any other way, and all my MIQs are in my line, with no PTLs other than my wife, and she has no MIQs.

Anyone have a suggestion for a different word than "group" since I'd rather not use "personal powerline" (too long and wordy, though it's accurate)? Should the document also be addressed only to PTLs (though I think non-PTLs can benefit from using it, or at least planning to use it once they're PTL).

Thanks everyone for the nice accolades. They are much appreciated. I must tell you all, selfishly I did this for my "group" ;) so I could hopefully more quickly grow my own SFI business, but then I realized it might be useful to others.

It will be a very good test if many people use the document to see if it really does produce more MIQs, PTLs, and GLs than you've experienced to date. If that happens, more upgrades and income for the user, that's all the recognition I need.

And as I said it's free to use intact for SFI people. If there are found errors or logic flaws, I of course will honor their discovery and correct the document. The most up to date version will always be here, and I'll note if corrections occur. Unless it's found it doesn't work.

Thank you very much for the suggestions on clarifying to my team.

I spent a little time trying to draw a downline progression, to see how much time it would take (with the miq 's becoming PTL) . Although I didn't come up with any concrete evidence... it does seem like it'll take around the same time... the fact being that each EA is sponsoring 3 MIQ's before starting their own line.

Again , IMO ... This great thread not only explains the Power of Duplication, but also leaves the reader with "I can do this" mindset.

[sarsuelo]

If I understand this correctly,

The SVP from MIQs you sponsored before you become a PTL will not count toward your GL qualification. That means you will start off with 0 MIQs and SVP in month 4 instead of 8 MIQs and 80 SVP.

I could be wrong. I'm no math whiz. :O

[omeomi]

In correspondence to my powerline, I usually use the word "team"

Well... I was going to say your wrong , but the key is you do say, " start off with 0 MIQs and SVP in month 4. But if you are following the plan ... you will have your first EA in your personal powerline by the end of month 4.

Now this brings up another question on wording to me! I know my personal SVP goes towards my EA and PTL status. But according to the GL requirements... (1,000 SVP in your personal Powerline) ... I am not in my personal powerline... I am in my parent's personal powerline (this means you Pat ;) ).

So , at the end month 4 (if I am understanding correctly) you have 10 SVP towards GL. At the end of 5 months ... 30 SVP. (You bring in 1 more EA + your EA from month 4 + the EA that the EA {from month 4} brings in for your month 5). A total of 3 MIQs (30 SVP) for month 5. In month 6 , there will be 4 new MIQs (one from each previous month's EA + yourself)... so at the end of month 6 you now have 7 MIQs (70SVP). *Note* ... At some point in time, in month 6 ... your first EA in your personal powerline, has now qualified for PTL and next month- that PTL's next EA will be in his/her personal powerline.

OK... month 7 ... you now have 2 more MIQs qualifying for PTL and a total of 14 MIQs in your personal powerline . This is as far as I have taken it on paper (it would be nice if it was my actual Geneology listing ;) ).

I am only trying to see how this plan can work for the new EA affiliate, as it does not apply to me (Sorry Pat ... I did not leave you 3 MIQ's) , as my 1st month of being PTL consisted of 20 SVP from personal purchase.

Another side note* I personally don't like to use the word "team" in this plan because I receive/offer help to other SFI affiliates in other powerlines (under different GLs even). + my "team" here at the dboard .

Thank you everyone :)

[huineng]

When you make a presentation like this, the usual answer I get is this: I can become EA and also get a EA but I cannot make that EA get a EA etc.
And then they ask: oh! This is a chain link program, is it? I thought it is illegal.
Bralland, how nice it would it be for all of us, if only people can understand this concept and work at it.
I have downloaded your original post and am asking my MIQs and PTLs to read it.
Let me hope some good will come from it.

[bralland]

Thank you, huineng, for your compliment.

So far as I know, this concept and method is perfectly legal (affiliates may choose between the options of buying or selling or both), and SFI is comfortable with that.

I'm sure Gery Carson will comment and correct my assumption if it's wrong and there are problems he sees with the plan.

Note that the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan works perfectly well if only sales are used by the participants.

SFI is free to join, and no affiliate is paid anything by SFI for that. What happens after the signup event occurs depends upon the wishes of the affiliates involved and how they want to proceed with their SFI business.

[hanserd]

Hi Bralland,

I have a question.
I tell my affiliates that if they get MIQed say with the IAHBE, the cost for that is realy about 6 dollars a month...because they are now EA and the SFI company residual commission Profit Shares "I call them" get put into thier account. usualy about 24 dollars a month?

so the cost for EA is really smaller?

PLEASE HELP

[ Email address removed per SFI DBoard Policy - moderator ]

Any affiliate of SFI may EA by selling retail to non-SFI customers 10 SVP, or more, of SFI's products and services. No out-of-pocket money expended makes EA free for the cost of only the affiliate's time and effort every month.

Buying to be EA is not necessary, but there are some nice advantages to it over selling, in my opinion.

[tab426]

I like the plan, but the one other thing you should look at is what Mr. Frugal pointed out. At the time your MIQs become PTLs themselves they will no longer be putting MIQs in your line, but into their own. This will slow down your progression towards GL.

No matter what, the plan WILL multiply your income. There's no arguing that.

Even if it takes 3 to 5 years to reach GL, it's still an aggressive goal. It's not a question of IF you'll reach GL status by following the plan, it's a matter of WHEN.

Yes, the document (see DISCLAIMER) does point out that possibility as well.

However new PTLs should continue to add one EA per month to their parent powerline, as well as one more EA per month to their new personal powerline, for the plan to work best.

After all, a basic premise and strong assumption behind the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan IS teamwork, as your avatar icon promotes, cooperating together by the entire committed EA sales team of the prospective GL to get the new PTL's upline PTL elevated to GL quickly, as thanks for supplying the vehicle for the new PTL to get to GL himself or herself very soon after that as well.

But, agreed with your opinion, some PTLs will not agree with my philosophy on that.

How would a PTL go about adding one EA per month to their parent powerline? By advertizing their PTL's Gateway?

[bralland]

Originally Posted by Mr.Frugal

Advertising your upline PTL's selected or favorite gateways is one way.

Lead Manager is another possibly better way, if you use it, where you add your upline PTL's SFI ID Number to your Lead Manager list of PTLs. Works upline as well as down.

I'm sure there are other possibilities in that regard. Just can't think of any more right now.

[tab426]

Another way is to open a PTL co-op and put in your MIQs that are in your parent line. Also, this could be used as an incentive for the affiliates who are not EA in your parent line. This will also help create another income stream from the affiliates in your parent line. (This is my personal preference... you do give up the sellers commissions, but long-term the money's in the overrides... especially if they follow the plan.)

[bralland]

The document was changed to take into account pre-PTL EA affiliates and to indicate the personal powerline as a PTL's sales team.

Also corrected were slightly off numbers and phrasing.

Hopefully it reads better and more logically now. Better yet, see if it really works for you to produce MIQs, PTLs, and yourself as GL in less than a year.

Please comment. Let me know your thoughts. Feedback is desired.

Here's a thought of mine.

MAJOR MAJOR HINT FOR PTLs:
Add the text below, in italicized bold,
to your presentation, after presenting the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan.


Want to be Group Leader even faster?

Here's how. Produce one or more MIQs per week (instead of per month) according to the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan.

That will make you a GL in 10 weeks, or less!!

And the first in your downline will be GL a week after that.

And even more GLs in the coming weeks.

Wouldn't you stay EA at least 3 months to see that happen?

After all, nothing more is required of you than that you
1) believe in the plan,
2) faithfully follow it through, and
3) stay EA as you show your affiliates this way of getting there, so they can get there just like you.

Oh yes... and cash your ever-growing checks every month.

Get the picture? :Super:

[bralland]

:Point: Dare I suggest 10 days to GL?

Possible? Yes. Logical? Yes. Fantastic? Yes.

Doable? Maybe.

Depends on you, and your sales team, and how fast each of you want to reach your goal of Group Leader.

Any takers? :greenie: :Pinkie: Please, no suggestions of 10 hours, 10 minutes, or 10 seconds to GL. :spin: :laugh:

[huineng]

How many MIQs should work together(inducting 1 EA each week) to get the GL plan to succeed in 3 to 6 months?
Just answer that question and I will do it.
As I keep saying, Bralland you are an excellent motivator.
Hats off to you!

[bralland]

I'll pick month.

1st month - you
2nd month - you and one other MIQ
3rd month - you and 3 other MIQs - you're now PTL
4th month - 1 EA you add to your personal powerline
5th month - 2 more MIQs that you and your first EA add - total of 3
6th month - 4 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 7
7th month - 8 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 15
8th month - 16 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 31
9th month - 32 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 63
10th month - 64 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 127 - you're now GL

Now I'll pick week.

1st week - you
2nd week - you and one other MIQ
3rd week - you and 3 other MIQs - you're now PTL
4th week - 1 EA you add to your personal powerline
5th week - 2 more MIQs that you and your first EA add - total of 3
6th week - 4 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 7
7th week - 8 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 15
8th week - 16 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 31
9th week - 32 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 63
10th week - 64 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 127 - you're now GL

And finally I'll pick day.

1st day - you
2nd day - you and one other MIQ
3rd day - you and 3 other MIQs - you're now PTL
4th day - 1 EA you add to your personal powerline
5th day - 2 more MIQs that you and your first EA add - total of 3
6th day - 4 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 7
7th day - 8 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 15
8th day - 16 more MIQs that you and your sales team each add - total of 31
9th day - 32 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 63
10th day - 64 more MIQs that you and your sales team add - total of 127 - you're now GL

See a pattern here? Each month you, and each EA on your sales team who wants to be GL, add just one new EA each to your personal powerline. Shoot for the stars!! :) Go for it - you can do it!

[sarsuelo]

Brilliant! :Super:

[bralland]

OK, now that we've blown this bubble :Bubble: , let's see if it can be punctured. :sword:

1) Neither SFI, nor I, nor anyone else can promise income from this scheme. It's not a scam, but it is a scheme. Plan or strategy is another word for scheme. Legal, but beware.

2) There can be no guarantees with anything as something will always interfere, even with what seems to be the most logical of strategies.

3) Not everyone is interested in promoting the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan or even cooperating with you or even buying from SFI.

4) The main incentives of the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan are to become GL and earn thousands of dollars. But will all the MIQs at the bottom ever reach the top? No. Some will. But not all can.

5) Even if the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan works for some it can't work for all because you'd soon run out of people if only purchases are made.

Example - The PTL promoting the plan needs 127 MIQs to become Group Leader. OK, say that happens. Then each of those 127 would need 127 to become GL themselves, and say that happens. Then each of the 127 times 127 would needs 127 each to become GL.

See what's happening.

127 times 127 times 127 = 2,048,383 people (about 500,000 households, or 1/4 of these, capable of buying from SFI).

Factor in 127 a few times more, and there are no more people left to work the plan, as there are only about 400,000,000 people in the U.S. and Canada, and there are about 6.5 Billion people in the entire world.

Do the math with your own calculator.

Thus, you see, the prospective Group Leader must also get retail sales, lots of them, and it's why SFI concentrates on sales as does any legitimate network marketing company that wants to be legal with the authorities and regulatory agencies.

As SFI makes more sales through its affiliates attempting to become Group Leader, SFI will thrive, and there will be many PTLs indeed profiting with cash flowing in their direction, but not everyone can be Group Leader through purchasing only.

Time, however, and the desire to excel as more and more people come aware of the possibilities, both are on your side in sucessfully implementing the strategy I've laid out.

The lesson or moral of this story? Treat SFI like any solid business. Don't expect phenomena like greed or instant gratification to vault you to great heights. Doing that is like building your house on sand or creating castles in the air.

Rebuttals?

Hi Bralland,

First of all, thank you very much for a VERY INFORMATIVE and ENCOURAGING post. It really did lift up my spirit -- made me to believe more on the opportunity that SFI is presenting.

Just got one question regarding one of your posts. It showed:

2nd month - you and one other MIQ

I got confused on getting PTL status on the 3rd month. If my understanding is correct, on the 3rd month I would only have 30SVP -- 2 personally sponsored EA + myself. This makes me short of 10SVP to qualify for PTL. Did I get it right or am I totally out of it?

Thank you very much in advanced. :)

Your welcome, wallym.

Here's how it works.

The 1st month you EA yourself by buying 10 SVP of SFI's products and/or services, and you have 10 SVP for promotion.

The 2nd month you produce a new 2nd EA by showing your affiliates the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan, he/she buys as you did, and you now have 20 SVP for promotion.

The 3rd month you produce a new 3rd EA just as you did your 2nd month,
your 2nd EA produces a new 4th EA by showing his/her affiliates the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan, who both do as you did,
and you now have 40 SVP, which is the main requirement for your promotion to PTL.

The pattern continues as above.

About working with 127 MIQs...

The good news is that each PTL (prospective GL) need work only with the first 3 MIQs to get to PTL (not applicable if selling or buying 40 SVP).

Then the PTL (prospective GL) works only with the 7 MIQs who get him/her to GL (in other words the PTL's first level).

Each of the lower level PTLs work only with their 10.

All PTLs work together with their upline PTL until that PTL becomes GL. Teamwork.

By "works only" I mean encourages the lower level MIQs to remain EA and follow the plan.

[uniquelyyours]

Now do you have to keep the 40 svp monthly as you do with the 10 svp thanks

Michelle

[Elmarc]

To remain PTL, yes.

[bralland]

Fee or Free? Dispelling An SFI Myth

Purchase or retail to non-SFI customers. Either way. Work the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan with your choice of ways to be EA from now on.

[bralland]

Michelle

The minimum you must keep is only 10 SVP to be and remain MIQ. Of course you can have more SVP if you wish. The other MIQs you sponsor likewise must keep at least 10 SVP, just as you are doing. Together as a team you work to maintain your PTL status at 40 SVP, and more SVP, up to at least the 1,000 required for GL, as your new sales team grows into your new personal powerline. Just as the MIQs you sponsor eventually will accomplish after they get to be PTL with a personal powerline.

[sandy2601]

I'm getting an anxiety attack. Does all this mean I have to keep the same original 3 (or 4?) people in my powerline, or I risk losing PTL, not to mention never achieve GL? When the newest people brought in by the new people go off somewhere in their own powerline, are we original 3 left huddling together till the end of time? Can we bring in others? I'm so confused.
But more importantly, where are all these MIQs coming from? Let me get 1 first, then I'll worry about 2 ... and then, when and if I get 3, I hope someone will wind me up and point me to my line. :eek:

The SFI system is detailed for you at your Affiliate Resource Center - http://www.sfimg.com. It's important that you get a good awarenss of how SFI operates so you understand clearly how SFI helps you build your business.

Then the first one to get Multi-Income Qualified (MIQ) is YOU!

This qualifies you for promotion and higher income. More importantly it shows that you are willing to commit to SFI and it sets a good example for the people you sponsor. If you aspire to leadership, this is vital.

Then you advertise your assigned SFI gateway websites to get retail customers and new affiliates who want to join the SFI business opportunity. There are many, many ways to market SFI. Your job is to choose the ways that produce results for you. People who respond to your ads and join SFI are the ones you sponsor.

Initially they are placed in your parent powerline, the one you're in now. After you're promoted to PTL, the ones you sponsor go into your new personal powerline. They, your sales team, are the ones who will help you get promoted to Group Leader.

It is these new affiliates that you've sponsored to which you want to offer the GL 1, 2, 3, Plan. Your parent Powerline Team Leader (PTL) if he/she is participating in the plan will be offering the plan to affiliates in her/his personal powerline (your parent powerline).

As the ones you sponsor accept and commit to the plan, they will become EA like you. Some will, some won't, so what, next. The ones who will follow you and commit to SFI are the ones you want to spend most of your time with to ensure they stay with the program, again just like you.

The moment you have at least 3 affiliates who you've sponsored into SFI, and you and the folks you've sponsored are producing 40 SVP, you'll become a PTL with a personal powerline of your own.

Until then, and even after, you produce new MIQs so that you can be promoted to GL and so that you get an ever-increasing commission from SFI.

Take it slow at first, one step at a time, until you see how it works. Study, understand, then act. That's the key.

Sandy,

No, any 3 will work. But you definitely need to be
the fourth one :)

nice article.Looks doable.This is my first 24 hours with SFI and I got 1 signed up under me already.Have to contact him and send more info his way.I cant believe how easy it is to get people to sign up and take a look at the store.

[sandy2601]

[quote=bralland]The SFI system is detailed for you at your Affiliate Resource Center -

I've been there a lot, Bralland, for all the good it's done me re this powerline thing. I guess I don't have to worry about that yet. And yes, I am MIQ.

Then you advertise your assigned SFI gateway websites to get retail customers and new affiliates who want to join the SFI business opportunity.

I advertised, with free ads, using the tips I picked up in this board, and elsewhere. I am still in the process of doing that, but so far, the only people I found are ones who want to sell ME things.

Take it slow at first, one step at a time, until you see how it works. Study, understand, then act. That's the key.

Thanks again Bralland. There is so much to study here and it's taking far longer than I thought it would. But I'm not a quitter and I will do everything I can to make a go of this.

How did you do that? Please share.

[jenandersn]

Ok folks,
Heres a question...I became EA the same day I signed up for SFI...at this time all I am doing is reading as much as I can on how all of this works. So what all of you are saying is the SVP's do not roll over to the next month correct? In order for me to become EA I became an IAHBE member, does that mean that as long as I stay a member I will have 10 svp every month? Also when I looked at the SFI Compensation Plan Chart it said I qualified for the Fast Track Pool which is defined as follows: Fast-Track Bonus Pool
A one-time income pool consisting of 2% of all Subsequent Sale CV (Commission Volume) for the month companywide. Affiliates who become EA within their first 10 days with SFI earn one equal share of the total pool for the month in which they became a Fast-Track member. Im sorry but I really do not understand this definition. :headbang:
Thanks,
Jen

[ChrisAvalon]

Jen-

Congratulations on taking direct action and becoming MIQ!

Yes, your SVP does not roll over into the next month, however, as long as you have a standing order with IAHBE ($30 a month) you will earn 10 SVP a month, keeping you MIQ.

The Fast Track Bonus Pool means that if within the first 10 days of signing on with SFI, you become EA (which you did, so you therefore qualify), then you will recieve a special one-time-only paycheck which the amount of is determined by a bonus pool consisting of 2% of the total sales of the entire company.

Each month the company earns a certain amount of CV (Commission Volume) and it is split many ways. The Sale CV or Sales Commission Volume means the total amount of sales everyone in the company has earned. With each sale you make, you earn a particular amount of CV- it's different for every product- and that "CV" or % earned from the sale, is split up many different ways. Some of it goes to you, the seller, and some to each of the bonus pools- like Fast Track.

The Fast Track Bonus Pool is 2% of the Total CV Company-Wide, put into one pool. Every month, new members join up, and for each new member that becomes EA within 10 days, they each get a "share" of the bonus pool. It's split evenly among you. Depending on how many others like you there are, and the amount of CV generated this month, that will determine that pay-check you recieve.

Example:

Company generates 100 CV. 5 New Members. 2 Become EA in 10 days therefore qualifying for Fast Track. 2% of the company CV = $2. 2 in the bonus pool. Split the $ equally. $2 / 2 = $1 each.

Not a realistic example, but see how it works? 2% of the Total CV makes up the Fast Track Bonus Pool and it is divided by the amount of Fast Track Qualifiers for that month to see how much each of them will recieve.

Hope that wasn't too confusing. Theres much to learn with SFI, so take your first month and do as much research and work, little by little, as you can, and you'll be ready next month to take off with a running head start.

Spend a lot of time in the SFI Glossary, Compensation Plan, and definately, a daily stop at the dboard. This is the best training resource SFI has to offer. If you have any questions, feel free to post.

Good luck with your success!,

Chris Avalon

Thanks to all the wonderful info on the board I just found the answers to my own questions. This is great..... :Bouncers:
I am getting so excited about starting. :Pinkie:
Thanks everyone,

Thanks Chris,
Thats the info I was looking for.

Bralland-

Excellent idea, very straightforward, easy to follow, productive, and doable by everyone.

One comment I have though is the logic in the beginning.

Month 1

-you miq

Month 2

-you miq
-you recruit 1 miq

Month 3

-you miq
-you recruit 1 miq
-your first miq recruits 1

Here's where I see a minor flaw. The first miq that you sponsor is not in your personal powerline, so the affiliates that he/she recruits goes into your parent powerline, and you therefore do not earn SVP from that recruitment. So it is month 4, once you have personally recruited 3 affilates + yourself, that you will have 40 SVP and then become PTL. Then those 3 affilates and yourself must keep up that SVP to stay a PTL, until your powerline can give you enough SVP. It's a smart backup plan to keep in your reserves some backup to earn yourself an immediate 40 SVP in a month if you need it. (By buying or selling more products)

After that I agree, 7 months and you will be a GL, if the plan is followed through, because all the SVP from that point on is in your personal powerline.

I wrote up for my ownself some numbers on this, and how much you would be spending/making with this plan at worst scenario. The total expense before you turn a profit is $50. I'll write up that version with the plan again and post later. It's a great idea, so simple to follow, yet very productive. Also keeping in mind this is the slowest possible this plan could move (by month) which makes it that much more doable and safe. It could progress a lot faster, and then again, twists could come along and it could take longer, but it's so easy to adjust and work with this plan.

Great idea,
Chris Avalon

OK, now that we've blown this bubble , let's see if it can be punctured.

1) Neither SFI, nor I, nor anyone else can promise income from this scheme. It's not a scam, but it is a scheme. Plan or strategy is another word for scheme. Legal, but beware.

2) There can be no guarantees with anything as something will always interfere, even with what seems to be the most logical of strategies.

3) Not everyone is interested in promoting the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan or even cooperating with you or even buying from SFI.

4) The main incentives of the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan are to become GL and earn thousands of dollars. But will all the MIQs at the bottom ever reach the top? No. Some will. But not all can.

5) Even if the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan works for some it can't work for all because you'd soon run out of people if only purchases are made.

Example - The PTL promoting the plan needs 127 MIQs to become Group Leader. OK, say that happens. Then each of those 127 would need 127 to become GL themselves, and say that happens. Then each of the 127 times 127 would needs 127 each to become GL.

See what's happening.

127 times 127 times 127 = 2,048,383 people (about 500,000 households, or 1/4 of these, capable of buying from SFI).

Factor in 127 a few times more, and there are no more people left to work the plan, as there are only about 400,000,000 people in the U.S. and Canada, and there are about 6.5 Billion people in the entire world.

Do the math with your own calculator.

Thus, you see, the prospective Group Leader must also get retail sales, lots of them, and it's why SFI concentrates on sales as does any legitimate network marketing company that wants to be legal with the authorities and regulatory agencies.

As SFI makes more sales through its affiliates attempting to become Group Leader, SFI will thrive, and there will be many PTLs indeed profiting with cash flowing in their direction, but not everyone can be Group Leader through purchasing only.

Time, however, and the desire to excel as more and more people come aware of the possibilities, both are on your side in sucessfully implementing the strategy I've laid out.

The lesson or moral of this story? Treat SFI like any solid business. Don't expect phenomena like greed or instant gratification to vault you to great heights. Doing that is like building your house on sand or creating castles in the air.

Rebuttals?

I can see how many members you will need to become Group Leader. But you are overlooking the fact that your downline will be contributing SVP to more than one person in their upline. If this were not true. There would be a very limited number of Group Leaders. Run this through your caculator again,

Total accuracy was not my reason for posting the GL 1, 2, 3 Plan. Rather the point of the document is ease of understanding, simplicity of duplication, and getting downline to MIQ. For these purposes, with regard to the document, what upline gets is irrelevant, if I understand your point, which I'm not sure I do.
