"HOW YOU CAN BUILD
A SIX-FIGURE INCOME IN SFI!"

  NEW SFI AFFILIATE TRAINING SERIES #4

"What in the World are Powerlines,
and Why are they Important?"

Sometimes the simplest concepts are the most difficult to grasp and that’s easily the case with the SFI Powerline.

Nobody has any problem understanding that an SFI Powerline is a straight down line. That’s pretty self-evident and self-explanatory. People are added to a Powerline at the bottom, one right after another. What can be confusing in the beginning is whose Powerline is whose, and where new signups are going.

Every Affiliate in SFI has two Powerlines to think about. First is their Parent Powerline, which is the Powerline each each new affiliate was "born" into. That’s the line you signed up into when you joined SFI and it’s where your sponsor is and where you will go for support. It will remain your Parent Powerline forever. The other Powerline that we are concerned with is our own Personal Powerline.

Let’s talk about the Parent Powerline first and what it means to you. Your Parent Powerline is your SPONSOR'S Personal Powerline. This is where you, and everyone else they sponsor, is placed. Since this powerline belongs to your sponsor, they are your Powerline Team Leader (PTL) and earn all the special bonuses that level brings them.

Your job is to also become a Powerline Team Leader just as quickly as possible. You do that by starting your own Personal Powerline. But you can't do that until you first meet the qualifications.

Before you are allowed to start YOUR OWN Personal Powerline, you must first "give" your Parent Powerline three (3) MIQ affiliates. This will be more important to you when you actually start YOUR Personal Powerline because every MIQ Affiliate in YOUR Personal Powerline will also have to "give" YOU three (3) before they can start their own Personal Powerline. But let’s start with the three (3) MIQ affiliates you have to "give" your Parent Powerline.

In order to qualify to be a Powerline Team Leader (PTL), that is to start your own Personal Powerline in SFI, you must first personally refer three (3) MIQ affiliates into the SFI program.

Of course that takes affiliates and lots of them. Until you get your three MIQ affiliates, all of your affiliates will go into your Parent Powerline straight down at the bottom. You won’t be the only one adding to your Parent Powerline, so your Parent Powerline is going to grow by leaps and bounds.

There will be many, many other affiliates in your Parent Powerline who are, just like you, trying to get their three (3) required MIQ affiliates to qualify for PTL. So you’ll see your Parent Powerline growing by your efforts, by the efforts of your Powerline Team Leader, and by the efforts of other affiliates in your Parent Powerline. Everyone is building the line straight down.

Your efforts in adding to your Parent Powerline will actually put money back into your pocket as well as your sponsors. As the personal enroller of the 3 required MIQ affiliates, you still receive MOST of the bonuses. You earn the 40% sales bonus AND the 40%/month bonus on their 10 SVP purchase. And you earn matching bonuses on that person's future growth. But you don't earn the PTL Gold Override Bonus, because you aren't the PTL of your Parent Powerline. Your sponsor is.

Just as soon as you get your required three (3) MIQ upgrades your own Personal Powerline will automatically start. That means you stop flowing affiliates you sponsor into your Parent Powerline and everyone you refer into SFI now goes into YOUR Personal Powerline.

Before we move completely over to your Personal Powerline let’s take a minute to look at what happens to the affiliates you brought into SFI that were placed into your Parent Powerline.

Those affiliates will always be yours. If/when they upgrade to MIQ you will receive all the appropriate referral and renewal commissions for them. However, those signups that you referred into your Parent Powerline will never be in your Personal Powerline. SFI never moves an Affiliate once they are placed. So if you have particular people who you want in your Personal Powerline you should wait until you have referred your three (3) required MIQ upgrades and then start your Personal Powerline with the people you have in mind.

Likewise, if/when any of those Affiliates that you referred into your Parent Powerline upgrade to MIQ and begin working the program, your Parent Powerline PTL, and not you, will get the PTL override commissions for their efforts. Again that’s because those Affiliates are forever in your Parent Powerline.

That may sound like you’re giving away a lot but let’s look at it from the perspective of YOU being the PTL. Once you get your three (3) required MIQ upgrades you’ll immediately start your own Personal Powerline. Now everyone you refer goes into your Personal Powerline, straight down at the bottom.

What’s most important here is that EVERY affiliates in your Personal Powerline must also "give" you three (3) MIQ upgrades before they qualify for PTL and can start their own Personal Powerline. So the growth you saw happening in your Parent Powerline is going to happen in YOUR Personal Powerline in time. And you’ll be receiving 10% (the PTL Gold Override bonus) per MIQ affiliate for people you did nothing to recruit. The work and cost to recruit were incurred by someone else and yet you get the PTL Support Bonuses (see the Comp Plan for all the details about PTL bonuses).

The general rule of thumb is to work your Parent Powerline only long enough to get your three (3) required MIQ upgrades. Then your own Personal Powerline will be started. The time and effort it takes you to get your three (3) MIQ upgrades in your Parent Powerline is designed to give you the opportunity to prepare yourself to support your Personal Powerline.

That’s it. You are born into your Parent Powerline and you’ll work that line until you’ve placed three (3) MIQ affiliates into it. Then you’ll start your own Personal Powerline and that line you’ll work forever, building it straight down to infinity.

When affiliates in your Personal Powerline start their own Powerlines they’re called "offshoot" Powerlines. When your Personal Powerline has 10 PTL's in it, you qualify for Group Leader (GL).

One Personal Powerline forever. Ready, set, go!
