What is duplication and How do I explain the importance of it to my downline affiliates?

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 are keys to everyone's success. 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, (Platinum Team Leader), as they continue to step up their sponsoring consistently, keeping in mind the guidelines in “Be an Awesome Sponsor” ( https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor ). 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.
