The main advantage is financial gain. The focus of a successful business is the ability to offer a product or service that people will pay for at a price where the entrepreneur will be able to receive a profit and still purchase more goods to keep the customers satisfied. You want to be fair to your customers and encourage them to return to do business with you.

Additional benefits are that you get your own online store with no investment ; free placement of your goods and services in

Online business may be new to your ECAs therefore, they will be in need of your assistance. Promoting ECA activity is best done by identifying the products you think will sell.

Discussing it with your ECAs individually will be a key to helping them to understand their new project. Get to know their inventory so you can suggest the best sellers for the TC market.

Consistent contact is important so that they will be comfortable and build their confidence in the organization.

A cyber-attack can be upsetting to many of the affiliates especially if it had been their first experience and if they had been directly affected. Some may be reluctant to return to the business. However, it is our duty to reassure them to continue their activity.

Most importantly help them to recognize how quick SFI was to take action to stop the attack. There was an immediate alert to all affiliates and there was a counter plan in place to ensure that our sites were not compromised.

Advertising, Sponsoring/Duplicating and Referrals are the most cost effective ways of boosting your income with SFI.

Advertising (Low cost or free): This is essential for your business. Put your gateways on all social media. Create your own blog/website. Use the classifieds and don’t forget warm advertising to family and friends. Be creative and make use of the many marketing aids and banners provided by SFI.

Duplication: Whenever you sign up an affiliate, help them become

Humans are generally curious creatures. Therefore you have to be creative and appeal to their curiosity.

When you write to them of talk about SFI do not give them all the facts. Always leave something for them to ask about. For example, let’s say you just received your monthly check/payoneer card. You can mention it casually in conversation or use it in their presence and then let them ask you about it. Then, ask them if their network has anything like that.

You can do

Success in SFI does not depend on any ‘best country’. You can advertise your gateways anywhere and everywhere. And sure as day, people will sign up. Now, that is when your work as a team leader begins. The personal touch is required to welcome the new affiliates. Encourage them to communicate with you. Not all will begin to work. For those who do, build a rapport and friendship with them. Send praises to the achievers and encouragement to those who seem to be struggling.

For whatever reason they might have stopped, they are not aware of what SFI is presently doing. Therefore, one sure thing will be to highlight the new changes in SFI that they would not be aware of. Help them to see that SFI is a steadily progressive company that cares for its affiliates. Here are a few highlights you could give them.

During 2013, substantial improvements were made, such as:
? New site design and new TConnect pages
? Major investment in powerful new servers

If you are to be successful you will think success and nothing or no one can prevent you getting there! SFI has a plethora of income streams that you can use. Duplication is the main stream but not the only stream. Therefore, while your downline may be asleep, resting or on leave, make sure you are not doing the same.

Set up yourself as ECA and add your products – be as creative as you want and invite others to your store. Refer others as ECAs in your country and help them to promote

I love people so I initiate conversations as often as I can. If you own a vehicle, have the Wave3 sticker visible. It is always a conversation piece. It is actually designed for persons to be curious since it does not advertise anything in particular. You have to do some explaining. It works all the time for me!

When you explain the concept you can give a TC gift card (which you should always have on your person). Business cards are also a good way to introduce yourself. You can also

When we enter a new adventure or purchase we want to share that information with those whom we love and are closest to us. It is the same with SFI. It does not always mean that they will support you.

They will tend to be kind and go along with you until they find a way to opt out. Since they may know one another, your success or lack of it may be up for discussion before you are even aware of it. However, later on, if they realize your success they tend to come right back.
