The INTRODUCTION to SFI is a very important aspect of your SFI business.

The one mistake that probably a lot of individuals who are introducing an Affiliate into the business do is that they enrol and then start the induction process. All the aspects of the business must be explained clearly before signing them up. When this is done effectively, some of the questions (negatively put) will not arise.

This means you have to have a clear understanding yourself to be able to pass

SFI has its support right from the time you join the business and therefore there are certain factors we must be aware of whilst building your downline. Some of the common mistakes we tend to make are:-

1 Do not flood the new affiliates with a lot of additional material or links to go through at least until after 1 or 2 months of their induction. Give them time to get used to the homepage and its contents.

2. Do not offer any financial assistance to the new affiliates or

Let us be realistic and analyse this question deeper. As much as I am able to communicate effectively on the internet and look for information and talk to people about my online business, I am not yet proficient. There are still areas that I am not very competent at in online recruiting and I would therefore concentrate on offline recruiting because this is what I know and I am good at (contrary to what others believe).

I agree that I may be slow when it comes to the numbers I recruit

The concept of the business of SFI is to build a team which will generate revenue for SFI as well as the Affiliates who join. When the team is active, the business is successful and so are the Affiliates. However when the team is either passive or dormant and will only intermittently work the business, there will be little or no rewards generated by let us say one affiliate who maybe active.

You realize that the minimum requirement of being in SFI and being able to receive benefits

Cost effectiveness in your business should mean get the maximum out of your present resources so you are not actually running a debt to finance your business or that you are spending money that you do not have and stretching your finances. This means you should endeavor to accomplish the following tasks religiously

LOG IN DAILY
- you must complete all the daily, weekly and monthly tasks and everything that is on your Things To Do List
- take part in daily games, T tIme and any

Versa points means either sales or action points and this is an important distinction to make. For example when we start a fresh month and every affiliate is trying to accumulate as many points as possible = to qualify as an Executive Affiliate (EA) you can create Sales or Purchase from TripleClicks and you will easily qualify as an EA. This is because at the EA level there is no differentiation whether you make Sales or Action points.

1..Create sales and make your own purchases on TripleClicks

This is an easy question to answer. Sponsor and duplicate your team as quickly as you join - this will generate income for you especially if you are able to explain the concept to 2/3 members of your down line immediately you join.

- hold small meetings with groups of people who see internet marketing as one of the ways forward
- give away rewards to your team members when they perform well-acknowledge their contributions
- pay particular attention to the various cultures of

We talked about a similar issue with my upline a few days ago - he said "leave them alone". You should be content for now because they are at least logging in and completing their RED TABS. We have affiliates who never log in from the time they join and they are deleted from the Genealogy.

With time, as you get to know your affiliates better, you can convey a few learning messages in your team mail. Get them to realize that the daily points are as important as the rest of

Physiologically men and women think differently and this is evident in the decisions that they make whether it is buying a television, a car, a home or day to day groceries. There is a definite thinking process that goes into the decision to invest in a product or a venture.

Firstly let me tell you that it is not possible to sift through 1000s of affiliates and categorize them into those that will turn out to be serious and then discard the ones that will not be serious enough. You just cannot tell who will become serious and who will not. Sometimes, the ones you believe will be serious turn out to be a total disappointment and the ones who may look like they are not serious, surprise you.

The seriousness of your business has to come from you first. How serious
