How do we know if our PSAs and CSAs are serious about building a successful SFI business?

You know they are serious when they email you and instant message you with questions about the business. Anyone who is serious would obviously take great pains to understand what they have gotten into.
But that is not the only indicator. Sometimes, like me, certain people like to read on their own time. Understand the system by themselves through reading and watching. Then they take the dive. So don't be sad if no one contacts you coz maybe you just happen to have these kind in your team.
Just be sure to always contact them on schedule. Like the weekly team messages, the stream posts, etc. Let them know your are there and will help when they are ready.

How can we get across to our affiliates that investing minor (at least) amounts of money into SFI is smart?

Investing in something that you don't believe in or don't understand is never a good idea. Therefore, you should encourage your affiliates to understand SFI instead. Read the Basics. Read the testimonials. Use a2a to get information. Not information about whether to invest, but information about how strong this company is. Is their business strategy sound? Are they changing with the times and technology? All the usual business questions.
Once these are answered and understood, investing will come naturally.

Where are the best places and what are the best ways to get answers about SFI?

I feel that the best place to get answers about SFI is the Forum. Your sponsor and co-sponsor is not a bad place too. But since they are only one person, you will receive only one opinion to your question.
Since a lot of people participate in the Forum and our SFI family is a helpful family, you will get a lot of answers and opinions to your question. Some may be relevant to you and your country, some may not. It is up to you to sieve through the information.
I've been in SFI for one year now with no success. What should I do now?

Well, it depends on your definition of success. What was your goal? If you did not reach it then yes you can say that you did not succeed even after 1 year in SFI.
Therefore, I would recommend you set your goal. Obviously your ultimate goal would be to make money with SFI. But break it down into steps. Start small, like reaching EA every month. Then develop the steps you need to do in order to reach that goal. Discuss with your sponsor AND co-sponsor. You have 2 people who can help you, therefore 2 potential ways of thinking. If both doesn't sit well with you, find a2a friends that can help. My own turning point is an advice from an a2a friend.
When you are comfortable you can reach your first goal with no problems, then set your next goal. Maybe 1 PSA every month. Again develop the required steps. Discuss. Get ideas. Read up.
Once you do this, before you know it, you've completed 5 small goals. Lo and behold, you will start to see money coming into your account for sure. Because if you are active with SFI, then you will see returns. It will be small returns at first. But that first amount you see will spur you on to make more next month, and the next, and the next.
Good luck in your second year.

Are there any shortcuts to success in SFI for new affiliates?

By 'shortcuts' I think you mean fast success? And by 'success' I mean money in your account every month. Or do you mean not having to do much but still get the rewards?
Sorry to say that there are no 'shortcuts'. But there is HARD WORK. You can get fast success by referring as much new PSAs, PRMs, ECAs and WAVE3 members as you can. With PSAs and PRMs, you will get 45% of the CV. With ECAs, you will get 10% of the CV on ALL their sales. And with WAVE3 you can potentially win $250 cash.
Put these all together with hard work and you will soon have a team of workers under you duplicating what you have done yourself and soon, without having to do much, you will get money coming into your account monthly.
The trick is HARD WORK and NO SHORTCUTS! But the good thing is, everything that you need to do is FREE! You only invest if and when you yourself choose to.

Change your approach. Easier said than done, huh?
Well that is what your sponsor and co-sponsor is there for. Discuss with them on their methods. Explain to them yours. Maybe you can adopt their methods or maybe they can help to finetune yours.
Want more ideas? Try developing a2a friends. Look up the Top Enrollers in SFI. Discuss with them on how they can get so many. Modify if you don't have the resources they do.
I used to have SBuilder but I stopped because I thought the money would be better spent on TCredits (I have a limited amount every month). But this mean I would need to step up my own advertising efforts. I started slow, doing things thousands of others are doing. But now I managed to get new ideas from an a2a friend of mine. Am currently trying it out. Hope to get better in the next few months.
And good luck to you too in your advertising.

How is SFI different or better than other affiliate programs?
Shamsina Sabdin, Aff (Malaysia)
9/17/2014 9:08 pm
Affiliate since: 03/28/2011, Power Rank: 99999999
Because of its various income streams.
My favourite is the ECA programme. How many affiliate programmes that you know allows affiliates to sell their own products? In fact, with some programmes, there is a fixed product that they must promote and sell in order to earn commission. With SFI, we have thousands to choose from and we can add our own too.
Another aspect where SFI is different is its games. SFI understands that even serious business people needs to unwind sometimes. And what better way to do than offering games. And the games are not for nothing, you actually receive VPs for them and increase your TC Executive Pool share.
I feel that SFI is both different and better.

You wanted a brief answer.....TripleClicks is like any other online store you see on the internet these days. But the good thing is, if you are an SFI affiliate, you can earn from everything that is being sold on TripleClicks.
At this point then your prospects might be thinking they heard wrong. "Everything? Surely not everything? We earn only on those sales we make"
Aha! Start reeling them in!
We practically earn from everything. How?
1) The TripleClicks Executive Pool obviously. Your rank determine how much share you will receive from the TC Executive Pool. Therefore, start racking up those AVPs.
2) From Direct Commissions and Co-Sponsor Commissions. Therefore start building your team.
3) From PRMs. Start promoting TripleClicks to those avid shoppers out there.
4) From ECAs. Start promoting the ECA programme to businesses, stores, etc.

Should I encourage or discourage my PSAs who want to become Team Leaders right away?
Shamsina Sabdin, Aff (Malaysia)

Affiliate since: 03/28/2011, Power Rank: 99999999
The important word here is 'want', If your PSAs want to become Team Leaders right away, then by all means support them and guide them. Make sure they understand what a Team Leader means. Make sure they understand the rules within SFI (like the starting from zero every month: this always confuses people).
Then guide them on how to build their team. Show them the ins and outs of SFI and TripleClicks so that they can really start being a Team Leader to their own Team. After all, the more active PSAs we have, the better for us in the long run.
Now the important thing is to be certain that your PSA do not rush before understanding. This is where you as his sponsor plays a part. If he wants to succeed, he would've started asking questions from Day 1 and you should've started answering them from Day 1. Teamwork is important.

Don't sell a product to someone. Instead offer a potential solution to them.
Find out what is their problems, issues, needs, requirements, etc are. Inform them that you found this particular product that might be able to help them (like supplements for their ailing knees or something). Show them where to find the product. Tell them that if they're not interested, it's ok. "But why don't you continue browsing and see if you can find anything else you need in here"
So you may not get a sale instantly (or if you're lucky, you might), but if that person continues browsing, you will get a sale eventually.
