Hello Natasa,

In reality Natasa, what we perceive as "CONVINCING" someone to do something, is actually that person's "ACCEPTANCE" of what we have to offer. Meaning, if someone isn't interested in, or feel he/she is in no position to accept, it's fair to say we won't be getting a sign-up (or sale) from that person.

Therefore, your main focus should be to understand exactly what you are offering, then present to them in a positive and convincing fashion. You're not truly "CONVINCING" them but, rather, you are explaining to them, in full disclosure, exactly what it is you are offering.

To do this, you must know your "PRODUCT" and your products are SFI/TripleClicks. So, Natasa, understanding SFI and TripleClicks will be the "KEY" to your success. And that's where SFI's "Training" and "Marketing" techniques come in. Study, Natasa! Learn the ropes. Know and understand what you are offering, and "SUCCESS" will follow!

Hello Teresa,

For me, it's mainly about not giving up on my desire for financial independence. You see, I've given up befeore, and I refuse to allow it to happen again. Besides, it's not difficult to persevere with SFI. You only have to examine the true nature of SFI's Marketing Group Affiliate Program to understand the 'true' benefits of it. It make persevering that much easier.

Just think of it this way. Imagine starting something from scratch, like we all do when we join SFI. Now, imagine building your very own sales force, only it's not really a sales force but a group of partners whose desires are basically the same as yours. Can't you see the overwhelming excitement and potential this can bring? Granted, not everyone will share your full optomisim, but in my "mind's eye" it's always "What if they do?"

Truth is, with each person added to my Team, there comes an added hope. Then, there's my a2a friends. They are like an extension of my own Team and, of course, SFI's Training and Marketing aids. Through them, I am able to learn much to help me increase my overall opportunities here with SFI.

And, let's not forget all the ways SFI goes out to make our venture more exciting with each passing day. Entertainment like "Knockout Trivia" and others. All of these things and much much more, makes it easy for me to persevere. Like having my own ecommerce store, enabling me to buy and/or sell tens of thousands of products. Through it, my family, friends, co-workers, anoyone and everyone becomes a potential repeating customer.

Oh yes, Teresa, it's easy for me to persevere with SFI.

Hello Marty,

I've read several answers to your question, "Which is more effective--distributing TC gift cards online or in person?" and believe most of those answers center more around "difficulty" than on the question itself, which relates to "effectiveness!"

In my opinion, it all boils down to how much you know and understand about TripleClicks and the benefits your potential customers can receive by purchasing their products from you online. The more you know and understand, the easier it will be to convey in person. The less you know and understand, then, naturally, the harder it will be. Without a doubt, it becomes more "EFFECTIVE" to distribute TC Gift Cards in person, because then you are able to express the benefits in person, face-to-face, thus creating a more sincere business and customer relationship. For sure, people respond more favorably in this way.

So, knowing and understanding TripleClicks, their products and the benefits the prospect receives, will by far determine the effectiveness of your TC Gift Card distributions.

I hope this answer helps

Hello Alvin,

To answer you question, think of it as being a prerequisite to getting people (in this case your downline) to do what you are doing. If you are an EA, then you'd at least want your downline members to strive for the rank of EA.

As an EA, you'll need to know and understand the business as much as you can. One of your roles as a team member would, then, be to elevate everyone below you to a higher level of commitment for obvious reasons -- namely, in order to get to the higher level, they must work the program, accumulate VersaPoints, and in doing so, your team becomes pro-active, thus increasing the overall productivity of the team.

What will that do for you, Alvin? I'm sure it's become clear!

Good Day Manuella!

You've brought up a question I'm sure many of us have asked ourselves at some time. For me, it comes down to passing up this opportunity in 2000. So, to begin with, the first thing I would do differently is not pass up on SFI.

2. Log on everyday (which I do now) to earn as many VP as possible, while learning as much as I can at the same time.

3. Be more dedicated to the business right from the start. Advertise and promote SFI more productively, with more enthusiasm to family, friends, co-workers and everyone I came into contact with.

4. Promote my TripleClicks E-Commerce Store daily (as I do now).

Truth is, there's a whole lot more I'd do differently. But I'm sure you get the message Manuella.

Hi Natalee,

Unfortunately, I have found no way of getting PSAs to commit to SFI, nor CSAs for that matter. Their commitment can only come by way of wanting to commit to this business. Try as we may, if they aren't ready to work the business on a daily basis, understand that to achieve success takes time, effort and patience on their part, and that SFI is, indeed, a real business, we'll simply have to put up with their inactivity for as long as it takes them to.

You, me and all other SFI business owners, Natalee, must do the things that are within our control - like setting the example for them to follow. Our Leadership Page will show just how committed we are. Keep learning and striving. Stay with it and, in time, you will receive the "fruits" of your labor. They may even see it too.

I hope this answer helps you Natalee

Hello Abraham Mascarenhas,

Your question is very important, because it beats home an important fact (daily logons)!

It's clear, every affiliate should be able to accumulate at least 11 Versa Points per day in a 30-day period, provided, of course, they logon to their Affiliate Homepage every day. That means 330 VP just for accomplishing their "red tabs" assignments (i. e. To-Do List, Tips, etc.). Additionally, every week, the affiliate will gain an extra VP for "STREAMS" up to 3 per week, 5 points for per week just for reviewing their TConnect Page, 30 points per week for sending out their PSA, CSA, Team Mailers. Just in weekly Team Mailers alone, that's an extra 120 VP per month. And let's not forget the extras that are available when you consider the "Daily Grand or "Win" daily entries, where the affiliate has the opportunity to win even more VP (every day). Add to that the ("red tabs 'ASK SC'") and the affiliate answering just 10 extra questions, they'll also get an extra entry in the "Daily Grand" giving them an extra chance to win more VP.

But the real point here Abraham, and SFI Family, is that the only cost to them is approximately 45 minutes of their time (or less, depending on ability) each day. That's not a great deal of time when you consider the rewards to be gained. And that's before any monetary or financial consideration comes into play.

Then, Abraham, and Family, there's the TC Store. In their own TC (TripleClicks) Store which has over 90,000 TC Products they can promote, which not only can generate VP but affiliate income as well. Each product comes with it's own gateway url, as well as a url for the entire products department from which the product was promoted.

Basic point, Abraham, and Family, support your new affiliate from the second month, and every month thereafter, by recommending they sign in every day, earn VP every day, promote their SFI Business and TripleClicks (all facets) every day. It will become so habit forming, they won't even realize their doing it.

To everyone's complete and utter SUCCESS!

This is a very good question. One I used to ask myself over and over again. So, I tried to put myself in their shoes, and I did, by remembering what it was like for me after my first few months with SFI.

I wanted overnight success, and when I didn't get it, I became discouraged. I kept on searching for other online opportunities that would give me the overnight success I so desperately craved for. Once I found out for myself that there was no such thing as overnight success, online or offline, I settled down to facing reality. And for me, the reality was SFI.

My point is, it may seem possible to encourage those in your group to become more active, or less dormant, but it all comes down to them. Final analysis, you keep feeding them what you must as a Team Leader. Selling them on the fine points of their SFI business. Like their very own TripleClicks Store, where each of the products, some 78,000 of them, represents a potential gold mine when properly promoted.

Keep feeding them with information that allows them to make up their own minds as to how they wish to conduct their SFI business. Like recruiting others to become part of their team, who will likewise recruit others and sell more products.

Fact is, what it all boils down to is this: There is but one encouragement, you do all that you can do, and that's understanding the business yourself, and, then, keep feeding its fine points to everyone in your team!

I hope this truly helps.

As a former military man, I know what it's like to be away from family and friends for long periods of time. After struggling through many dissatisfying jobs, I know what it's like to be at the mercy of someone else. The most important benefit I've gained from being a part of SFI is 'three-fold' - (1) I get to spend more time with family and friends; (2) I'm my own boss, working from my home in my own business; and (3) I can travel the world making new friends without ever leaving my home. Man, the magnificence of it all!

First, understand that motivation doesn't grow on trees. You're either willing or unwilling to be motivated. I learned this in my former years in the Marine Corps. You can explain SFI to a thousand people, each will have a different reason for either accepting or rejecting the opportunity. Motivation begins and ends from within a person. Know your friends (even family). Are they individuals desiring to change their present position in life, or are they individuals who are satisfied and disinterested in what you are offering to them? Usually, within the first couple of minutes these questions will be answered! Remember, it serves you not to waste time trying to motivate those unwilling to be motivated.
