I totally agree with you - purchasing a NMP is definitely a smart move.

I find that the main difficulties we have with a lot of the new PSA regarding this are:

- that they are trying to understand SFI,
- they most likely signed up because joining SFI is free but now they are being invited to make a purchase,
- there is a time limit of 10 days to make the purchase
- they really don’t appreciate the benefits of Fast Track and
- they don’t understand

If I have to choose between the 2, I would say the homemakers. This is a generalization of course and its based purely on my preference.

There are some retired persons who would be great in the SFI business, just as there are homemakers who would be lousy at SFI.

The only reason why I say the homemakers is because they are generally younger, more tech savvy and up with the play with modern technology, trends etc.. and because of this are generally good marketers.

Explain to them that you are an SFI Affiliate and you have a dual role with SFI and TripleClicks.

SFI is the overall company that has an online store called TripleClicks.

TripleClicks is central to the operations of SFI. At this store people can purchase products and services. They have online auctions and people can also play online games and enter contests.
Your role as an affiliate is to promote the products and services of TripleClicks. When people purchase from

PROMOTION - TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT IT.

If you have unlimited resources - simply use them all to tell the world about SFI and TripleClicks.

That is of course not possible for most of us, so we do our very best using:

- the power of the internet and all the avenues available there
- printed media by submitting article to local papers etc
- posters being strategically placed
- radio: place ads and go on talk show if possible
- conferences

I would like to distribute TCards to friends and family by email. What should the email say? Samples, anyone?

Make sure that your message is personalised. You are giving them a gift, so avoid being formal and giving a message that looks like a robot wrote.

If the purpose of the GC is to get them interested in SFI and TripleClicks, then you should say something about those. Don't just hope they will see the connection because they may not.

Say something like:

"Hi Mary, it was nice chatting with you this morning. Its a pity that your car has broken down, but here is

Creating my own SFI co-op...or starting a blog about SFI...which will provide the most value?

Both of these are good but you want to know which will provide the best value.

Which one provides the best value will depend on what your goals are - are you after PSAs, ECA, sales and within what time frame? How much time and funds are you going to invest?

The SFI co-ops tend to be for shorter terms. You can set up the co-op fairly quickly and then
wait for results which you go on attending to other aspects of your business. These can also be cheaply funded depending

Your ratings are based purely on your opinion and these ratings are very important.

Your opinion will be influenced by your relationship with your sponsor: how accessible he/she is - the amount and quality of the coaching and teaching you receive – her team building activities such as team incentives and team competitions, cheering and encouraging messages, keeping the team up to date with developments etc.. You take all these into account.

You owe it to yourself, your

Apart from the 125 TCredits pack, what other Standing Order product with 1500 VP would you suggest to replace IAHBE?

To my knowledge there is no other product on TripleClicks books that is similar to IAHBE in nature.

If you are looking for a SO product that gives you 1500VP other than the 125 TCredit pack
go to the Advance Search on the Triple Click page and enter 1500VP on the panel on the left side and press Enter on your keyboard. That will give you a whole range of products with products that will give you around 1500VP. What you choose will of course be up to you. Select the ones that can

There are several ways to ensure that your team members receive your email messages.

I find that the E Cards and Group messages via SFI are good in that the messages go to the SFI Inbox as well as to the members standard email addresses. That means that even if the members do not log into SFI, they will still receive the messages via the emails they have supplied when the signed up.

Having said this, we must also bear in mind that not everybody communicate via email. Many

Hi Gilbert

The 1st thing to do is to send them a special welcome message. Don’t use your standard message, personalised it.

They are you countrymen; use your language, local dialect and sayings. For Kiwis, say ‘Kia ora cousin’
Be friendly and assure them because you have a special bond, you are going to do your very best to help them in this business.
Encourage them to make contact with you and keep the conversations going.
