You need to be positive and upbeat in all your communications with your team. This is of up most importance.

You want your team not only to have a positive attitude towards SFI but also excited about it. Even if you manage to change their attitude from negative to positive it would do you absolutely no good at all if they dont do the work. Getting them excited about SFI will greatly help them to start working and keep on working and growing their businesses.

If you are able to establish the reason/s for their negative attitude that would be a major accomplishment because then you can address the reason/s for their negativity. You can establish the reasons by keeping in regular contact with them and asking them. You can also ask them to fill out a questionnaire or use a similar tool to establish the reasons/s for their attitudes towards SFI.

I suspect however that their attitudes towards SFI would not be entirely negative, otherwise they would have opted out of SFI altogether. Even if you are of the opinion they are negative because of what they have said to you, there is still hope of a change as long as they remain SFI members.

Now what do you do and/or say to them?

- Let them know that you are a real and genuine person. Share a little bit of yourself with them. That's what friends and partners do for each other.
- Let them know that you want to have more successes in SFI and you also want them to succeed.
- Let therm know that you really care for them and will be more than happy to work with them growing their business
- Let them know that you are here for them and that when ever they need your help all they need to do is to contact you. Encourage them to use you and include your offer of help in ever piece of message/communication you have with them.
- Teach them and make sure they clearly understand the SFI system. The negative attitudes they have may be due to inadequate knowledge. We often hear of people complaining about not getting paid when all they have done is action the 'to-do-lists,' not being able to get the 'SFI credit card' but they haven't earned any commission, of obtaining PSAs via ECAs but they 'dont work' etc.. Address these deficiencies.
- Try to be proactive and anticipate where your team might be having problems. For example towards the ends of the month, remind them and make suggestions where they are likely to obtain those last VPs they need for qualification.
- Be upbeat when pointing out to them new innovations that SFI regularly comes up with. Support the innovations, join the discussions in SFI Forum, answer and review answers in ASK SC, take part in the auctions and all the games and competitions. When ever you secure some form of success or if a team member does that, let the whole team know. In other words, lift your profile within SFI, your team will see this and hopefully they will become positive and excited about SFI.

A tip.

After login on every day - go straight to your Genealogy. Use the Birthday filter and send a Happy Birthday e card to all those celebrating birthdays that day. I love getting birthday cards and I am sure your team members would appreciate them too. An easy action to do but it goes a long way to getting rid of negative attitudes.

Cheers - All the best

You indicate that you want to attract Affiliates. To me that means you want to build a team of SFI Affiliates. I would therefore suggest that you focus on promoting SFI.

Affiliates automatically become TripleClicks members when they sign up for SFI. Hopefully, they will start using and purchasing from TripleClicks early and continue to do so in the future for you.

One of the main attractions of SFI is TripleClicks itself. When you are promoting SFI you would naturally make references to TripleClicks, even if you don’t mention it by name. You may talk about SFI trading online for almost 17 years, you may talk about commission, residual income etc.. As a result of all these, people sign up as Affiliates.

On the other hand if you promote TripleClicks, the focus here is simply to sell products. They join TripleClicks as PRMs and apart from a gift certificate which you may send to them, you will have no contact with them at all. You cannot influence them in any way to become affiliates.

They are interested in buying products or playing games etc... and not into building a business. They may however notice the affiliate side of things and become PSAs and that’s great, but its more luck than anything.

Promoting SFI would help you a lot better.

When you say senior citizens I believe that you are referring to those who are in retirement or nearing retirement.

Not all people at this stage of their lives are drawing healthy pensions or have a lot of money coming to them when they retire. They would be looking at supplementing their retirement pensions. They are mostly mentally sharp and I believe that SFI would be ideal for these people.

In your promotions and advertising, I would recommend that you promote the 'extra' income and also the residual income aspect of the business.

Search out senior citizen computer/internet clubs and promote these aspects of SFI to them.

We have in our country what is called 'Aged Concerned'to which anyone from the age of 55 can join. Its all to do with the well being of senior citizens. Join such groups if you are able to and if not get yourself invited along to one of their gatherings as a guest speaker. You can then speak about SFI as a way of earning an extra income to supplement their pensions and also a business they can bequeath to their loves ones.

Work & working Smart is the 'secret' to making money in SFI.

This is not a 'making money for doing nothing' venture. It is a business and as like any other business it requires work.

This means:

- Turning up for work. Open the doors of the business and login. We urge our members to do this daily

- Actually doing work to grow the business. Auctioning and Gaming are fun and fine. They can contribute to the business, but in my opinion to a very limited extend with regards to growth. If this is all you are doing, you do not have a business - you have a hobby.

- Learning. The staff of any business needs to be trained. You need your training in order to run your business well. Do not neglect your learning. This brings us to

- Sponsoring. As your teams sponsor or co sponsor train them, urge them, encourage them to work on their business. Show them and lead them in doing the work.

- Promotion. We are a marketing business and that means we need to advertise the business and products. If we do not advertise, we do not have sales. If we do not have sales our businesses will fail.

- Consistency. We need to be 'bull headed' about this business. Keep on keeping at it. Don't give up. Work consistently at it, promoting it, sponsoring affiliates


Working Smart is the other half of the 'secret.'

We all have limited time to work on the business. Regardless of how much time we spend on the business or how hard we work if we do not get the result we are looking for then we are wasting our time and effort. We need to be working smart.

That may mean:
- Working to a plan. Set goals and work to a plan to meet those goals. Don't just drift around.

- If you work to a plan your time will be well used. Great satisfaction can be achieved by reaching ones goals as planned.

- Keeping an eye on your finances. You are running a business. Money is the lifeblood of any business. Without money it will dry up and die.

The secret is work & work smart.

Communicate with them. Assure them that you have the utmost confidence in SFI and that is why you are staying with SFI.

You can start by point out to your downline that as soon as the trouble started SFI was onto it. They were exact and decisive. They did not procrastinate.

The actions they took were exactly what one would expect a professional organisation to take.

The security systems that SFI had in place prior to the cyber-attack were far more than adequate, however cyber criminals are constantly coming up with new methods of hacking into systems and are constantly probing and testing websites. Obviously they were able to breach SFIs security.

This does not reflect poorly on SFI. The most successful organisations in the world are constantly under attack by cyber criminals. This is a kind of a back handed compliment to SFI. The more successful we become, unfortunately, the more cyber criminal pay attention to us. There will be more attacks in the future because we are becoming more and more successful.

Point out to your downline that the systems that SFI put into place prevented the business from getting into trouble and the affiliates from suffering losses. These security measures were put in place pretty smartly.

It shows that the people at SFI are very serious about this business and really do care about the affiliates and their businesses.

Their communication to all the members and the way they dealt with the threat epitomises professionalism: - Each and every member were clearly informed of what was happening; There were daily updates; Members were informed that their earning capability regarding daily VPs and VP streaks were protected and they were.

There should be nothing but gratitude and admiration for the support team. They no doubt worked under immense pressure ans they certainly rose to the occasion. Well done to them I would say.

Cyber-attacks is unfortunately an occupational hazard for online businesses. It has happened and it was dealt with professionally. No doubt it will happen again, but this is no reason to leave SFI. Its a prize of success.

Once you sign on as an SFI Affiliate, you have taken on the role of a student.
Once you start recruiting SFI Affiliates, you have taken on the role of a teacher as well.

At the beginning while you are learning about SFI you are in fact preparing yourself to be a teacher as well. In time you will recruit and grow your own team. Your role will be that of a sponsor for your team members, in other words - their teacher among other things. What you teach them can greatly affect their successes.

Two of the most common word/statements in SFI are 'leaders are readers' and 'duplication'
- As a student you read so that you can teach.
- As a teacher, you teach duplication.

To be a great and successful teacher you have to be a successful student as well.
- You have to learn and get to know SFI very well - inside out
- Keep up to date with all the developments within SFI
- Get to know all the tools and aids available within SFI, even if you do not use them yourself
- Keep up with marketing trends & methods
- Keep up with online shopping trends

You have a dual role of student and teacher once you become a sponsor and you have to keep working at these.

I believe that the most important question when seeking serious SFI affiliates - should never be directly asked of prospects. And I don't think prospects are being regularly asked this.

The reason why I say this is because as prospects we all have one things in common even before we join SFI. We want money. You can sugar coat it any why you like but that is why we joined. We can say - we want to pay off my debts - want a better standard of living - want to be wealthy - etc but it all boils down to having enough money to achieve these.

How serious we are about earning that money is another matter altogether.

When we join as affiliates, SFI asks (indirectly) how serious we are about earning that money by encouraging us to complete our registrations and our profile. As sponsors we read these and most of the time we can tell if an affiliate is serious. Becoming a Fast Tracker is another great indicator of how serious an Affiliate is about SFI. They also tend to be great communicators.

All prospects want money and they are serious enough to a certain degree to go a head and sign up as Affiliates.

Have a look at the Affiliates profiles and their actions and their communications with you to determine the really serious ones and then work with them.

Play the games yourself. Your successes will be well demonstrated by the badges you will have on your profile and your team members will see these. You will be leading by example.

They see that you play, so Okay why play? What are the benefits of playing these games?

You need to tell them the benefits of the games and your experience. Tell them that:

1. The games are actually a lot of fun and of great satisfaction especially when you win a prize.

2. Most of the games are free to enter or at the cost of 1 TCredit

3. For most of the games, you can win TCredits and MRP. With the Daily Crown drawing all you need to do is play one Eager Zebra game and you are in with a the chance of winning TCredits, MRPs, Gift Certificates and EZ Express tokens.

4. Products in TripleClicks can be purchased with TCredits and MRPs. Refer them to https://www.tripleclicks.com/MightyTCredits for the uses of their TCredit winnings and how these can help grow their businesses.

5. Refer them to http://www.tripleclicks.com/member_rewards.php for what to spend their MRPs on.

They may not initially take notice or appreciate the value of these but if you keep on reminding them about they games they will eventually venture out and have a go. Keep motivating them. Keep reminding them through the 'streams' and if you win a prize let them know about it. If one of your team members win a prize at the games, share it. Congratulate the member and let the others know about it.

Hopefully all that will motivate them to play the games.

This is a common question and most people when they say 'build their downlines' they mean increasing the number of affiliates on their books.

Some of the ways you can help your affiliates do this are by:

1. Pointing out to them where they can purchase PSAs either SFI direct or ECA and any special deals going. You will need to be alert to these deals.

2. Teach them about advertising - online and offline - free and paid advertising - how to run advertising campaigns - how to write ads - tracking ads etc..

3. Promotional methods such as blogs and websites

4. Pointing out to them products on TripleClicks eg website visits etc..

5. Running recruiting co-ops yourself

6. Running competitions among your team regarding say the 'top recruiter of the month' and give them a nice prize.

7. Encouraging members participation with the Price Bender Auctions and the games.

These are only some of the ways, but I believe that the quickest way to build the number of affiliates in your downline - if you have the money - is to purchase PSAs for your 1st generation and reassigning them to you Team Leader movers.
