To help new Affiliates in their marketing efforts and also promote the existing culture of rewarding them for their hard work, the Standing Order to replace IAHBE program should have as much of a learning value as well as have an immediate tangible benefit to the Affiliate.

With the introduction of the new Trivia Knockout Game which is, in my view is already popular, perhaps a few changes should be incorporated in the NEW Standing Order to give it out as a package which includes the following:-

a)..a website to market SFI-there are some simple ones that are currently created by affiliates who are conversant with the procedures; this would make it very easy for the Affiliates to send their website to prospects and give them an opportunity to learn the SFI concept in an abridged (shortened and summarized) version.

b)..a small pack of T Credits, maybe 75 that is discounted in price - there is a higher usage of T credits in the Knock Out Trivia by Affiliates which is not eligible for either VP or MRP for example, for using the lifelines you do not earn any VPs.

c)..maybe upto 10 or more serious PSAs or CSAs to get the Affiliates started off in the business. SFI already rewards us CSAs for maintaining leadership levels and I believe this package can encourage more Affiliates to place the SO in the first month of joining SFI.

If the above is combined as a SO package, it also becomes an incentive for those affiliates who are not able to recruit new affiliates, to get the momentum going in the business immediately.

I do not consider myself a "superstar" yet but I am definitely learning from the "stars" that are in my team. One of my upline members answered a very pertinent question when I asked him "how do you get so many EAs" and his reply was "leave them alone". This is the basis I use in determining who will lead their team into the future with SFI/TripleClicks.

When I joined, I was also left alone and I worked my way without being followed by anyone. When I had questions, I would bring them to the Forum or ask my upline and downline team members. I realize that this is a workable strategy. The reason I say this is because the "superstars" as you call them are workers and they do not need to be pursued.

This feature will be prominent in your "stars" from day 1 and they will work and try and understand the system without too much complaining, questioning or negativity. They are quick learners and can once in a while, acknowledge your emails and appreciate your efforts as an upline team member. They will invest in the business quickly and pick up tips from others fast. I have a few of these type of members in my team and I consider them very valuable.

I would believe that these characteristics show you the difference between the slow workers, those that take time to decide whether to make an investment, how to duplicate or generate sales on TripleClicks and the "superstars".

Absolutely.

At the very beginning of my journey into SFI, I found myself behind my two team leaders in rank; in fact they pushed me to become a Team Leader. I believe strongly that you should let your PSA move forward for the following reasons:-

1. They will understand the program much better left on their own devices. You can monitor their progress through the VP Ledger so nudge them if you feel they need some guidance. An E Card would not go amiss.

2. Some PSAs do like to work on their own without too much pushing from their Sponsor; this is a consideration you must give.

3. Not all PSAs need guidance and not all of them will have financial constraints - some will take up all the opportunities presented to them by SFI faster and there is nothing wrong in that. Let them progress.

We usually have a very good mix of PSAs in SFI from various cultural backgrounds with each one having her/his own level of know-how. As a Sponsor, you need to ensure that your PSAs know that earning is SFI is made a lot easier with an active team. Help them realize that financial investment alone will not advance them.

Get an active downline, do not advance on your own but with your team.

The SFI program is so self explanatory that I feel, the Sponsor is only in place, just in case you need some guidance.
However, if you find that there is hardly or any communication between the Sponsor and you, there are many substitutes you have,the important ones I have highlighted from my own experience.

1. This is your business and you need to be independent of the Sponsor-treat it as how you would work a traditional business-use the resources that are available online, the Forum, Ask SC and I know that any of your upline leaders will be very happy to direct you. The Forum is the best one!

2. I am assuming that you would have been in SFI longer than one month and therefore will have discovered the A2A which can be a resourceful area of information if you know how to make use of it.

3. It helps to look up the Power Rankings and see who is at the top in your country. Approach them for help, they will be a lot more responsive having been with SFI much longer than you have-I did this and was amazed at the detail I received! You can use their experience in your business.

4. Do not expect anything more from the Sponsor, focus your mind on building your own team and try to become a better sponsor than your own. Mine has been unresponsive for nearly 3 months and I am a BTL and building my team-you can do the same.

Work at your business, do not rely on anyone else to give it a push and you will succeed.

There are many viewpoints to this question but these are my observations having been in SFI for over 1 year.

- When you have an active team under you is the ideal situation to upgrade your rank because it is done automatically as you earn points from your active down lines.

For example if you are already an EA2 which means you have been in SFI for 2 months or more, and you have two EA2 in your team, you will receive additional 200 action versa points towards your rank qualification.

- Once you have identified your active members in your team, this can help you advance to becoming a Team Leader. However, you must also have a contingency plan in case circumstances change and one or all of your active members stop doing the business!

- Identifying your workers in your team is an ongoing task which you must work at so that once you have achieved your Team Leader status, you do not drop in your rank. I find that to be very demoralizing so make sure you hold onto your TL status.

- It will help you immensely if you start communications with your team members early on in their business so they are aware of the importance of leadership in SFI.

As we are in an era where technology is not only necessary but an important part of our existence. There was a time when we did our work without mobile phones, we had access to the internet but the majority of us had to rely on cyber cafe's and today our lives revolve around being able to have access to all these facilities.

It is no doubt therefore that having a blog or a website will make your interaction with the global community a lot easier and the results will be faster. A website is an integral part of business today!

Until I joined SFI, I never felt the need to have a blog but now that I have one, I can capitalise on it and keep in touch with everyone, all the time. Having said that, I cannot do without my SFI or TripleClicks website. At every step of the way, I have a ready link to share with my prospects. I have made it a point that whenever I leave home to run any errand, I make sure that I carry either my SFI flyers, W3 or any other marketing material that will help me market SFI. If I have by any chance forgotten to carry any of the above, I immediately give out my SFI and/or TripleClicks website!

A website link is therefore very important to share with others who you wish to bring into the SFI business - very often I open my SFI Homepage or take a screenshot of a particular page to help new affiliates understand the business better.

Having a website just facilitates you to work in a professional environment that SFI offers and indicates to prospects how serious you are with it. So, yes it is good to have a website - your success however is not just dependent on your website.

You can have an excellent website but if you do not know how to market your business, it will not reap you results so various other factors also contribute towards your success in SFI and since that is not the topic of discussions here, we will leave it at the stage where we need to agree that it is important to have a website to become successfull with SFI.

There are vast opportunities for using your creativity to help you create business cards to promote SFI and TripleClicks

- keep in mind that people to whom you give the cards to should retain and utilize your card and therefore designing your own cards can be extremely rewarding in getting the desired results as well as not spending a lot of your resources if finances are tight;

- it is also advisable to maintain a professional overview with your design to ensure that when people see your card, they understand that SFi and TC are both serious businesses;

- hand-made business cards are less expensive and these lend a personal touch to your marketing efforts. I sometimes prefer to use these because it raises the curiosity amongst the recipients of the card; you are likely to get sign-ups

- if you can afford to, get some professionally printed through Vista - there are various offers and you can upload your own design and include content that you need to;

- you can use some of the resources available from SFI to add your own personal touch to it provided you are not breaking any copyright rules or breaching any agreement you have with SFI/TripleClicks.

There are certain principles I follow when I write Ads. I have learnt how to put across the detail explicitly with training experience and generally first researching about the market in which I wish to place that Ad.

The rules I follow may be useful to you.

RESEARCH YOUR MARKET
1..write the AD with the primary aim of getting maximum exposure within the market you are advertising and get maximum results.

KEEP IT SIMPLE
2..keep in mind that that AD message should have clarity of content with not too much detail, simple to understand and depending on where your AD will appear, keep in mind that some ADs have limitations on the size of your copy(*)

CREATE INTEREST
3..Prepare your AD with the intention of creating interest, attention and a response. That should always be the aim.

USE DIFFERENT FONT SIZES TO HIGHLIGHT YOUR DETAIL
4..Try to get the reader of the AD to notice the most important part of the AD through either altering the font or highlight it and let the writing be visible from a distance. It should catch the eye and stand out amongst other ADs if for instance you have a notice board on which you will place it.

YOUR CONTACT
5.. should always have the correct contact information to enable those responding to it to have immediate and easy access.

LEARN FROM WWW TRAINING SITES
6..there is a considerable amount of information on any available topic you wish to learn on the World Wide Web and this can be your source of help. You will at least get some idea on how to write an AD and as you prepare them continuously, you will be able to focus on what content to include that is relevant.

7..Practice writing on various topics

I always keep in mind when writing an AD is that I do not disclose all the details about my venture in my AD because the aim is to have as many people contact you to find out more about your advert.

* copy will be the AD that you finally print to use in your advertising campaign

I believe your ECA is probably the most powerful income generating resource that SFI has provided as an opportunity for its Affiliates. You can advertise your products to over 2.5 million Affiliates and others outside but there will be no point in your advertising campaign if you are not going to look after your potential customers.

An ECA is simply a "store" but it's importance is highlighted when you attract customers to your store who wish to purchase products from you. It is a highly competitive market out there and this means first that your ECA has to have high standards.

DO'S

** immediately your ECA Application is approved, ensure that you have a few products that are ready to be listed...DO NOT think about the products afterwards. Before your application is forwarded for approval, you should already know which ones you will list.

**connect with other members and start promoting your ECA link once it has been approved. It does not take more than 2/3 days for the approval to come through if everything in your application is as per the requirements of TripleClicks

**send out group mail to all your friends and family notifying them of your new online Store and the products

**it would not be a bad idea to give away a complimentary gift item for the first 10-15 buyers.

**answer queries promptly

DONT'S

> do not give reason for your buyers to complain, you are trying to receive customers to your store not scare them away.

> give your best! communicate as much as you need to. Not answering mail is a common problem. If there is an issue, it can always be sorted out but show integrity and communicate with the buyer.

> it's your first month as an ECA! Do not be afraid to make a mistake, we all do at different times but we will learn and improve. Some of us are not computer savvy and a simple task may seem impossible or difficult to implement, take time to understand the procedures and inform Support if you have any specific issues.

> do not promise the buyer what you cannot deliver and this means do not list products that you do not have - it s being dishonest.

> do not have practices within your Store that will allow your buyers/customers to question your honesty.

> do not fail to fulfill any order unless you have a reason to but remember, you must keep the buyer informed of the status of the order.

Communication between affiliates has never been easier. SFI has several ways in which it facilitates this. Starting with the Genealogy, this is a smart way to single out your "active" downlines and movers from those affiliates who are waiting to be pushed to work. From here you are able to collectively send one message to all your movers.

Your Movers List is another area where you are provided a snapshot of affiliates who are moving your team and theirs. This covers a more personalised approach as you are able to send E-Cards to your active downlines but if you have for eg 50 active affiliates, this would mean 50 E Cards. It is not difficult to do this but it will be time consuming. I would use this as one of the options when I have time at my disposal. This is a good way to motivate your downlines and ensure that they remain active.

Whitelisting email addresses becomes even more important as your team will expand and you can use this for messages you think are as urgent as they are important-though keep in mind that SFI also forwards general messages to all the affiliates especially if they are subscribed to the SFI News.

A more personalised approach would be to chat through SFIM but keep in mind that with the different time zones you may not be able to connect with all affiliates when you decide to. Skype, for me also remains a useful tool to rely on as you can discuss and leave messages for your affiliates when appropriate.
