I believe of all the questions that I have seen on the Ask SC's, this is probably the most personal question. The reason that I say personal is that there is almost NO right answer, but it is all relative to the individual.
If I am in USA and I wish to see a paper-trail, I am going to request being paid by a check. If I am in Nigeria and don't have much Internet service, I would request it via Payoneer. If I don't use my bank account that often and would prefer to use my PayPal debit card, I'd suggest Paypal.
The point I am making is that which way is best is relative and I believe that individuals should decide what's best for themselves - we can't tell you about yourself.

Besides the requirement to qualify, what is expected of me in becoming a team leader?

The expectations once you become a team leader are quite high, especially the further up the ladder you go. Once you become; however, a BTL (Bronze Team Leader), the "fun" time begins.
It is no longer just about qualifying, now you really have to "do" something. This business will NOT just coast by, once you get to the Team Leader status. You are mainly expected to "lead" your team.
By leading, I am referring to constantly providing leadership resources to your affiliates. Team Leader status means that you MUST communicate with your team.

Why is it good to participate in the new Eager Zebra game(s)?

You asked why it is good to participate in the Eager Zebra games? I think that the games are not only fun, but they are very beneficial to our VP record. I also believe that the games are a way for the SFI community to come together.
The games are yet another way of increasing our team and assisting each affiliate in helping their downline.
I totally agree with the Zebra games.
There is a lot of fraud on the Internet. How do we convince skeptical prospects that SFI is legit and real?

You will have the hardest time trying to convince folk that an Internet business is legit. The ONLY way to be able to show that it is legit and that it is something that they can become profitable from is to walk the journey with you and see what you do and have done.
What I do is tell folk to simply join my team (for free). Then, I let them know that for the next 60 days, I will show them how to start using the system and that during that period, they will NOT have to even spend a single penny. I let them know that if they do EXACTLY what I say, they will begin to see some results.
It is ONLY when people are able to do the things for themselves that they are able to believe that it is proper.

Since I have won a few items from TripleClicks, I simply use them as my marketing tool. I show them what I won from the auctions and they are usually impressed. When I tell them how much I paid for it, they are usually like, "WOW!"
I then proceed to let them know that it wasn't an exclusive thing and that they have many gifts like this that are available on this site called, TripleClicks. I then, hand them my card and that's that.
Sometimes there is a conversation, some times there isn't, but either way, they now have seen with their own eyes AND have my contact information so that they can choose to come on board. For the most part, they at least look at the site - some have even become customers... long term. Gotta love SFI/TC...

One of the easiest lessons that I have retained, since being an SFI affiliate, is that the ONLY way that I can "convince" someone to do something is for that person to see me leading the exercise. I would suggest that in order for your PSAs to want to do an SO, they should first see that you are a SO member.
The second reason, if for no other reason is... you get 100 free VP's, just for having a SO. Hey, it may not be much, but it may be the difference between EA & BTL at the end of the month. So my suggestion, just do it - doesn't hurt anything and you are always assured of EA status, at least.

What was your greatest challenge to success in SFI...and how did you overcome it?

My greatest single challenge in SFI was that I needed to study SFI like a real business. At first, it seemed like a "side-show." It appeared as something that I was doing as fun, but then I realized that if I am going to really make a difference in my own life and those around me, I need to start trying to see this as a legitimate business.
I started taking my daily VP seriously. I have over 6-month streak for my daily VP's. Everyday, I have made it a habit, to check in on my business. The other thing that I do is check the pulse of my business, now. What I mean by that is that I check how my team is doing. I understand that if they are not doing well, it inevitably means that I am not going to be doing well either.
The last thing that I will mention that I do is I look for more ways to achieve success with SFI. I see that this company, SFI, is not my "end," but rather is the means to the end. I see it as a vehicle to get me where I am trying to go - therefore, it is my job to always keep before me new ways to expand my business and grow my people. That's how I have overcome...

How do I convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses?

Affiliate since: 05/24/2017, Power Rank: 99999999
What I have noticed is that when people have bad experiences elsewhere, they usually throw everything into the same package. They think that ALL online businesses are "trash," "scams," "not worth it."
Since they are coming to me with this mind-set already, I don't try to change their minds. I have simply encouraged them to play the PriceBender games or auctions. I let them know that my job is simply to help people find EXTREMELY great priced items and buy them from auction.
Also, in regards to the PB games; I have let them know that I know the craze with online gaming and contests. I let them know about the contests that we are running and share with them the great things that our contests do.
After they have played the games OR gotten a part of the PB auction, I ask them if they enjoyed themselves? Usually, the answer is yes. I ask them if they are willing to tell someone about their experience, I will give them $12. That is so easy - I get people to come back to me, thru word of mouth advertising. Then, I tell the original person that I would love to have them on my team to help build the fun and awareness...
Simple as that!!!

What's the secret for easily qualifying for the rank of Team Leader each month?

(While chuckling) I am not sure there is a "secret" to becoming a Team Leader each month; however, I can tell you what I do and see if that helps you - ok?
First of all, becoming a Team Leader isn't really that difficult, you just need to know how to keep it. SFI allows you to purchase 2000 VP per month, which is a wonderful thing. That simply means that all you need to do is come up with the other 1000 VP and you have, at least, earned Bronze.
If you do your daily actions and do your 500 bids from the auction, you should EASILY get your 1000 action points necessary. At least that's what I do...

How can we shift from quantity to QUALITY with our sign-ups?

Affiliate since: 05/24/2017, Power Rank: 99999999
This question is a great question because in a business like this, it almost doesn't matter how MANY people you got if they aren't workers. The truth is, if you have gotten 400 signups and only 2 of them are working, there is NOT a significant gain. What we want to do is have the best QUALITY of affiliates working with us. How do we do this?
I believe the best way to get quality signups is to try to personally get them. The best affiliates are the ones joined because they actually WANT a network marketing experience and have already been involved in this type of system and would like to try a new one.
