How much information do you send your CSA's, or do you let their sponsor take care of them so they are not overwhelmed?

This is a great questions.
I think that a Co-sponsor should share as much information as possible with their CSA's for the following reasons.
1. Since a co-sponsor has similar responsibilities as their sponsor; CSA's should in no way be treated differently in terms of the information that a co-sponsor passes on to their PSA's.
2. You might be their only life-line to building their business. The truth is, not all sponsor's support their PSA's; hence the reason we have co-sponsors to provide added support.
3. T.E.A.M ; CSA’s are a part of your team . For a team to work well together you have to create a balance. If you are only providing certain information to your PSA’s and not to your CSA’s then you will never have that team that you are looking for. Remember you do earn commission from your CSA’s. Also, whether you realize it or not, helping them build their business will help you in the long run.
4. We all learn from each other. By having the added support we all learn from each other. Just look at it this way and ask yourself. What if my co-sponsor did not support me the way that they did? Maybe your co-sponsor was the one who gave you that nugget that you needed to push your business forward in the right direction. I personally have received so valuable information from my co-sponsors that have helped in building my business.
5. Remember that your PSA’s are also CSA’s.

I think these are some one the best ways to market when you are out and about.
1. Wave3- Get it. It's free and post the sticker on your car
2.Become a walking billboard. The truth is that we advertise free for all these name brand companies so why not become a walking billboard for your company by wearing SFI/TripleClicks clothing?
3. Gift cards. It is a great idea that you walk with some gift cards and just give them to somebody. Since they cannot use it anywhere else and I am sure they will use it; that's money going right back into your pocket.
4. If your out and about at the supermarket, community center, GYM find their bulletin board and place your marketing materials there.
5. And last but not least and more importantly talk to people. For example if your in the doctor's office strike up a conversation with the person next to you and tell them about your business.

Yes it is possible to be successful in SFI even where your PSAs and CSA's aren't building there business. The great think is that SFI in not a one pony business. There are several ways of building your business with SFI.
Here are the ways that you are really able to build your business
1. E-Commerce Associate (ECA) Program. When you refer companies to sell their products on TripleClicks you will earn 10% commission on the CV value and also you will get 100 VP for them making thei first $10 in sales on TC.
2. You might also want to look into SFI Pay-Per-Action (SFIPPA). Here you are acting as a advertiser for SFI by refereeing others to the auction. Each qualified SFIPPA will earn you $10.
3. Last but not least keep on sponsor and you will find 5 people who are determined like you.
I hope this helps

How do you explain to potential ECA prospects what the E-Commerce Associate program is all about?

I think a great way to explain to potential ECA what the E-Commerce Associate program is all about is by using the term "Free Advertising". The truth is that everyone wants to grow their business. Becoming an ECA is free of charge until their product is sold then the ECA's are charged a processing fee.
There are several reason why one would want to become an ECA is that
1.As an ECA their business would have a greater presence in the international market since SFI has a great international presences
2.As an ECA and once their products are listed; their products will also be promoted by others through the referral links.
3.ECA are also able to save one adverting. Since SFI/TripleClicks already have a large customer based the platform is already set for ECA’s and they don’t have to worry about attracting new customers.
There is no reason your prospect shouldn’t become an ECA because the stage is already set for them. All they have to do is list their products and watch their business grow. Everything is taken care of for them. The order are taken, payments are processed and all the ECA has to do is to ship the product (s) to their customers.

What is the best strategy to win the E365 Championship for my class?

Affiliate since: 03/11/2012, Power Rank: 99999999
This is a great question to which my answer is consistency.
There is a saying that "the race is not given to the swift but to the strong" and that has been my experience literally as an e365 champion. I remember from the first day that I joined SFI. All I wanted to do was to stay above the green line. I wasn't even thinking about being an E365 champion; all I wanted to do was to make it to the next round. That was until I became an EA. So here is what I did.
1. Stay above the green line. You first have to make it to being an E365 finalist. This can be done by completing your to-do list on a daily basis, shopping at tripleclicks. Etc just any action that will earn you VP
2. Become an EA and maintaining a EA status or high
3. Make sure that you re-qualify for the next month as an EA or higher
4. Get on standing order
5. Try to win auction that will give you re-occurring VP points. I.e. IAHBE 3 month subscription will give you a total of 4500VP for the 3 months in addition to your standing order.
Just remember that in order to become an E365 class champion you have to have the most Versa points at the end of the 12 months after becoming an E365 finalist.

Where are the best places to post advertising flyers?

Affiliate since: 03/11/2012, Power Rank: 99999999
The best place to post you advertising flyer is anywhere that you can legally post them.
One of the most common place that you can post your flyers is at your local supermarket where you will get the most foot traffic. Because guess what everyone goes to the supermarket.
You can look into other places such as your
Local community center
GYM
carwash
If you in college you can post them in the info boards
Coffee shop
The fact is anywhere that has a bulletin board you should post you flyers. However, you should when posting your flyers in certain places like for example a coffee shop or gym you might want to ask permission first just to make sure it is okay.
Also, if you choose to leave your flyers on cars or in someone's mail box you might want to check with you state or local authorities if it is legal to do so. For example in NY it is illegal to leave a flyer on a person's car. In NJ it is illegal to put a Flyer in someone's mailbox.
Also, Please make sure whatever you do is also in accordance with SFI.

What is the best way to contact a prospective ECA?
Marchella Rose, Aff (New jersey, US)
4/15/2014 1:53 pm
Affiliate since: 03/11/2012, Power Rank: 99999999
I think the best way to contact an ECA prospective is by starting with the people who you know (direct contact) that owns a business and can market their products online. For example, last night I was talking to one of my girlfriend who informed me that she just opened up a boutique selling Jewelry. Well The first thing I did after our conversation ended was to send her the referral link so that she can start selling her products on TripleClicks.
As for the people you don’t know directly. I think that the door –to-door or in store contact works best. The fact that you are able to sit down face to face with someone and tell them what the program is all about works better than sending a letter in the mail that will more likely be looked at as junk mail and placed in the trash.
However, since this might not always be the case you can try giving them a call or try advertising. The great thing about advertising is that if someone isn’t interested they will not call or sign up.
It is good to note that different methods works best for different individuals. If you aren’t a people person then the in-store or door-to-door approach might not provide the best results for you. As a result you should limit yourself to only one approach but explore all options possible like the ones that are outlined for us in the ECA referral guide such as
Sending letters
Advertising
Going door-to door
Telemarketing
Just to name a few.

The Best way to help your affiliates get a better understanding of SFI is to encourage them to utilize the affiliate center.
1.Whenever, an affiliate joins SFI there is a to-do-list that has to be completed. If he/she spends the adequate time needed to review this information then it will help them understand the business better.
2. Repetition. Encourage them to go over the information more than once.
3. Communicate with them.

This is a great question. I find that when every you start telling someone about a business opportunity especially a business like SFI the first think that they want to know is how much money you make. To which my answer is never judge your success by someone else success.
However, to answer your question these are some of the facts, stories and figures that I would share with them.
1. The history of the company. SFI didn't just start yesterday but have been around for years.
2. The compensation plan. Review it with them and show them the different ways that they are able to make money through SFI, TripleClicks, Wave3 etc.
3. Use the Earnings calculator to show them their potential earnings.
4.Use the Testimonials
5. Lead by examples. As I mentioned before when telling ours about a business opportunity like SFI they will always want to measure their success by yours.
I think the best question that you can ask them however, is "what do you stand to lose?" SFI is free of charge to join. Where can you find a better business opportunity?
