Encouragement is the most important quality that my a2a friends gave me. Yes they gave me guidance and answered questions but their encouragement is what kept me going.
I spoke many times with 2 a2a members that always told me to "never give up" and "you can do it". Every time things looked bad or my PSA didn't make EA2, I remembered what they said and it gave me the strength to continue.
Without my a2a friends, I may not be with SFI today. They are therefore very important for a successful business.

If I had $102.70 a month to spend, I would buy a Standing Order of:
100 T-Credits for $29.00 and 1200 Sales VP
30 Gift Cards for $29.70 and 100 Sales VP
2 S-Builders for $44.00 and 560 Sales VP
2 T-Credit for 252 MRP and 204 Sales VP
This will give you a total of 2064 Sales VP for $102.70 and an affiliate at the EA2 level after 2 months. I would then become a Bronze Team Leader (BTL) by:
Standing Order = 100 Action VP
Distribute 30 Gift Cards = 300 Action VP
Make 100 Auction Bids = 100 Action VP plus 500 to 1000 MRP
Perform Daily, Weekly, and Monthly actions for around 500 Action VP (will vary from month to month)
This will give you around 1000 Action VP. Combine this with the 2064 Sales VP for 3064 VP which will make you a BTL.
This monthly plan will:
1) Get you PSAs with your S-Builders
2) Get you CSAs for being a BTL
3) Get you PRMs with the Gift Cards
4) Maybe win additional PSAs, CSAs, or T-Credits by bidding at the auction.

How can I elevate my SFI advertisements above all the competing business opportunities out there?

By giving the customer what they want.
Your advertisement should be about THEM getting something they what ... not what you have to sell. Make the advertisement about them ... not you.
For example ... If you have SFI Gift Cards, your ad should read:
"I'll give you a $12 Gift Card ... FREE!!!"
So make your advertisements helpful to sign ups or future PSAs and don't try to sell your product.
How do I advertise if I want to reach a specific target group?

If you are trying to get new PSAs with your ad, place your advertisement with an agency/business that will attract PSAs.
These agencies MUST have areas for ads under subjects such as "work from home" or "business opportunities". This way you are targeting exactly the type of people you are looking for and have a better chance of finding a "diamond"!

Fear is based on not knowing a subject or your surroundings. To get over the fear of success with your SFI business you must:
1) Launchpad - Once you go through your Lanchpad, https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/, you will have a good understanding of what you need to do to have a successful SFI business.
2) Forum - There is so much knowledge and experience waiting for you at the forum. I learned 90% of my information from forum posts. It is very educational.
Once you do these 2 things, your fear with go away because you will be very familiar with SFI and understand that the process of a successful SFI business isn't complicated, it just takes time to learn the business.

What is the most important goal you've set for your SFI business and why?

My most important SFI goal is:
Log in everyday and get my 500+ action versa points every month.
I have been with SFI for over 17 months and I have never missed a day of getting the maximum possible versa points. Without these versa points, I would not be an EA or BTL every month so it is a very important goal to reach every month.
Why do some affiliates find success with SFI in just weeks, while for others it takes months or years?

1. Some people have experience in marketing or a personality that allows them to sell things easier.
2. By taking advantage of the many different ways SFI offers to make money. So don't concentrate on just getting Versa Points or Price Benders. Use your T-Connect Page, find ECAs, concentrate on getting PSAs and CSAs. There are at least 8 different ways of making money with SFI, use them all.
3. Some people have a bigger group of friends, family, and co-workers. Imagine working for a company with 1000 employees, a family of 10 siblings, or being part of an organization with many members . Some people have these recourses so look at each one as a potential PSA.
Anyone can be successful with SFI, you just have to find different ways of being successful and use them all.

How do you set proper goals for yourself in SFI?

First look at the goals you made for yourself last month. Did you make all of these goals? Did you make some of these goals? Maybe you were close in making some goals and others you were not so close.
The secret to setting and making SFI goals are to review your goals from last month and determine why some goals were made and some were not. Adjust your goals for the next month so you make them or come closer to making you goals.
If you don't make all you goals each month then that's great! Think of it as a challenge to work harder and make that goal next month.

How do I get my downline to focus on duplication? How do I explain the importance of duplication to them?

Duplication is like a rule of being successful with SFI, if you don't practice duplication, then your success rate will be decreased. Your downline could also become confused and frustrated causing them to quit SFI.
Most importantly have them read this, https://www.sfimg.com/Training/Duplication. It gives a great description and the benefits of practicing duplication!

Don't think of it as being rejected, think of it as being a challenge. Just because they said no now doesn't mean they will say no in the future. Try them again in a few months or in 6-12 months after you have a nice monthly income.
I have many prospects that I plan to discuss SFI with again. These people want me to "show them the money" before they will join ... which I plan to do. One day, they will be my PSA!
