We all know of the amount of back office work put in to safeguard SFI from future cyber-attacks. In addition the several layers of security put in place when you log in. This in itself shows that SFI is taking its' business seriously. One of the reasons for the cyber attack is I believe the success of SFI and competitors are trying to destroy the credibilty of SFI.

We can assure our downline that SFI means business and that during the attack, SFI credited affiliates accounts that were

Hi! Sue,

A very good question.

I had been a Sales Manager for an electrical Appliance Importer and the company had a difficult time as the economy was just opening and television was a new thing for us in the early '80s. As Sales Manager, I got organized a Sales Workshop comprising my sales field staff and showroom staff. We had a brain storming session and outcome was that the Sales Division would inform the Service Department of all TV sales. The Service Dept. would then allocate

You could advise what products your ECA can list for sale in their stores. what I would do first in check the products already listed by clicking on the products tab and running through the drop down list.

Second check what items ECA would want to sell in their stores. Then run through the list once again and this time compare the products and prices offered. Work with the ECA on how to differentiate their products from those that are already listed at TripleClicks. The plus points to

The advantage of becoming an ECA is that you will earn commissions from the sales made by your downline, you also are able to earn from the items that you sell through your stores. Not only do you earn commissions you also earn matching VP from purchases made by your downline team who are EA or higher rank. If that is not enough you can also promote items of other ECA's on social networks and earn additional commissions.

The more VP earned you are able to grow in rank at SFI.

Hi Elif,

I usually carry the Wave 3 X-Card together with some Gift Cards. When opportunity does knock, I do give either a W3 x-card of the $12 Gift Card according to the circumstances. But the best I like are the SFI and TClicks flyers.

I live in a small town which has only one newspaper distributor who distributes 18 different publications and 12 daily newspapers. I have a understanding with the distributor to insert these flyers in the English Language Weekend Newspapers,

Hi Antic

I am glad you asked this question. Towards the end of every month we have affiliates requesting help on how to gather the shortfall VPs to either maintain or move to next rank.

I did address this issue with my downline yesterday and posted it on my Leadership Page. The transcript as below:

Quote:
It is a new month. It’s a new beginning. All of us have our monthly scores set to zero, immaterial of whether we are seniors, newbies or in-betweens. So

All affiliates who reach or re-confirm their EA rank status are rewarded with 2 CSAs.

What joy, what happiness this brings to the new affiliate. He is excited, oozing enthusiasms and passion to become an awesome sponsor. In our rush to prove to our own selves and to our affiliate how good we are, we do just the opposite.

Some of the mistakes to avoid are:

Do not overload your downline with information. As it is, all information require for growth are available

Leading the horse right up to the waters edge. By this I mean go to the full extent. Lead by example. Sponsor should:

- encourage downline to reach their potential through weekly team mail, stream etc.

- recognize movers and work with them. check on their VP Ledger on a weekly basis and send e-tip card or mail on how movers can increase their points to attain the next level of status or re-confirm EA status.

- should be ready to assist downline with not only words
