I'm a little over the top, I actually just opened my own internet café in my rural town just so that I can invite and teach people about SFI's online opportunity daily! A less involved and costly way, would be to frequent WiFi cafés and get a group of people interested in earning online then book a room at a local library and hold a meeting there. They usually have free WiFi. You could also hold a meeting at a local college where they have WiFi all over their buildings in various locations. As long as the meeting is small, the college probably wouldn't mind. Placing a notice that you will be at a location on social media sites at a certain time to show people what you do online to earn money would be a great way to get peoples interest. Try to get RSVP's from your friends so you know the size of your group. It will help you decide where would be best to hold them.

I imagine that the best way to convince prospective ECA's that TripleClicks can be great for local sales is to show them how you are earning locally or show them how local online garage sales are doing and how other online sales sites are doing. Explain that these people are people whom they can educate about TripleClicks. Then explain to them all the perks of being an ECA with the extra added international exposure with the millions of members Tripleclicks has all over the world. Explain to people how Tripleclicks is growing in popularity every day. Also explain how TC. does not have all he fees that other sites have.

Great question!
Here's what I like to do...
I post other peoples items on the many international social media sites I have joined and grown my friends over the past two years. I get commissions when they sell.
I make sure to share varied item that sell internationally. People will see that these are items sold from average people around the world and join up!
I add a comment posing a question about what they think of a different or fun item it is when I post other vendors items on my social media sites. This way the comments start to come and people will see this post more than once.

I print flyers of items for sale and place them in the local laundr-o-mats, local diners and grocery stores.
I place my vendor items on the local online garage sale sites.
People frequent these places and most are selling things because they need cash.
I hope this helps!

The affiliate who says this is usually new and doesn't understand all that he or she can learn from clicking through the 1 VP actions. I feel there is almost too much information to learn about SFI in the beginning to get started. I like to show them my commission page where I dropped out for 2 months and then how it began to grow as I became active with my daily VP again. I also explain that there is much to learn rom these pages that they just "don't know" they "don't know" yet! I explain to them the over 50 "Ahh Hahh!" moments I have had, since joining, which have helped me had just from browsing my VP actions daily. I ask them to give it time and actually read through as they have time. I try to actually give them an example which is often easy to find on the Tips page every day.

Of course completing the daily and weekly To Do list is standard practice for earning Versa Points. Other ways I like to earn them include:

Purchasing daily used items on Triple Clicks.

Evaluating the products and services I have purchased at Triple Clicks

Setting up the Standing Order is by far the easiest and most productive way to earn Versa Points and build your business. If you think of it as an investment in your business, you will realize that there are few businesses that requires such a small financial commitment.
I buy 50 + PSA's and 125 T-Credits monthly. These versa points ensure I reach EA.

Buying triple Clicks gift Cards is great way to earn Versa Points as well as get people interested in SFI.

Sell Products on Triple Clicks. I have not done this yet but it is my next goal!

Building your team is a great way to earn Versa Points. You get Points every time your team affiliates reaches EA monthly, and these points increase as affiliates climb the leadership ladder.

Going DOWN the to Do List everyday~ not just hitting the red tabs will help you complete the list daily and get all available points.

I hope this helps!

I love this question!

If you are a friendly person like myself who has no problem making conversation with anyone, then I suggest you:

Distribute the cards at gas stations to the counter help!

Visit coffee houses, and give them to people you build a rapport with.
* Be careful, there may be policies against marketing to their clients. With a rapport and friendship established, the opportunity for you to receive the question; "What do you do all day on that computer when you come in here" opens the legal opportunity.

Visit college cafeterias and hallways that have Wifi. Repeat the above process .Respect the policies and only share with people you have gotten to know as a friend. I define this as exchange of phone number and/o social media and a few conversations.

Keep them in your wallet and car. When you run into friends at the mall or grocery store and you are chatting hand them a card and tell them ow much you save and am earning with SFI. Be sure to not bother them if they seem rushed.

Go to the library and read a book or hang out on your computer. Repeat the above steps!

Go to the swim club...repeat the above steps.

Have a girls movie night. Put them in a little gift bag with the piece of home made Banana Bread. Talk passively about the TC and products savings.

Hit the laundry mat. Repeat the above steps!

If you are not sure how to open a conversation, try this..

"Thanks for helping me find that product. I appreciate you going out of your way and hand then a card." This can apply to any store you are in.

Any time ANYONE who talks about budget issues and seems friendly and in a good mood, hand them a card and tell them. "This helps me save money and, if you want, even earn money, and it's free to join!"

I wear my TC jewelry and when complimented hand them a card. Add a comment like; "Thanks! You would NOT believe the price I paid for this!"

Any sales person who helps you purchase an item from who spends time with you to make the sale: Simply say "Thank you." and hand them the card.


I think you get the picture at this point.

Happy Marketing!

I feel it is always worth it to create individual welcome letters to your affiliates! Unfortunately it is not always possible. Do you not enjoy hearing personally from someone of "whom's" company or club you just joined? I do!
But with SFI, you can often bring on 100's of affiliates a day with their PSA to go program. Therefore it is harder to do a personalized welcome email.
I the rely on both genealogy and the movers page as I do this monthly with a standing order.
I send out a generic welcome letter and invite the PSA's to email me personally with questions.
My letter may be in "updates" for Gmail or Spam if I am not added to their contact list (White Listed)
I look at my movers on the To Do List and reach out to those who are active. I check out their ledger and then contact them.
In Genealogy, I go to the most recent points filter and write those who did not make it on my mover list and write them as well.
I use both instant messages and group mail. Some have joined SFI but bow out quickly. It is my hope that by email, I may change their mind. Instant message can give them a boost and quick advice they can utilize on the site right away.

See you at the Top!

I believe there is no exact answer to this question.

If you have the opportunity to actually know your prospects, then you may well be able to decide what they would best want or need regarding the actual type and amount of information needed to make a decision to join SFI.

Some people are analytical and want lots of data. Others would get overwhelmed with this and really just need to trust that they are not being scammed and that this is a real business. The basics are best for these folks. They do not want to be pushed or SOLD. Mentioning that it is a business wit 16 years of success and providing important links and how to proceed at "start' and that it is free to join with no obligation are my high points in a much shorter letter.
I have had people tell me I needed to shorten an info letter while others have thanked me for it's thoroughness when I knew it was lengthy.

For my new affiliates I purchase monthly on TripleClicks, I try to keep the email to 1000 letters and then write them individually if I see them active in the program. Even though these affiliates have joined, I consider them prospects until I see continues activity in the program.
If it is a friend on the internet showing interest, I go with what feels right at the moment.

I hope this helps.

Absolutely not!
I feel it is better to embrace their enthusiasm and be available as they have questions and learn the business. If they bring on affiliates early also they can always refer questions to me until they are better educated on the program. If the affiliates have money to invest in SFI and they want to this is, it is wonderful! We just need to be supportive in showing the new team leaders how their investments and position as leaders can benefit them and where to find this information on the site that explains this so they can completely understand it. We also need to lead by example and mentor them in the leadership role.

There are many was to accomplish becoming a great salesman or saleswoman.
1) Formal education in marketing. Eg. College.
Pro's
You will get a thorough education in all kinds of marketing theory and the complete skill set you need to be successful
Con's
Expensive and timely
2) Mentorship
Watch how, when where the successful marketers communicate their message. This is one of the best ways I know. I had an awesome mentor and it was well worth it!
Pro's
Quick initial tools can be picked up if you are observant to start building your business right away.
Con's
Mentors don't show you the "whys" unless you ask or can understand their motive. finding an awesome mentor can be a challenge if you do not understand marketing and know what you need to learn.
****** I suggest the forum if you are looking for strong leaders and mentors!
3) Reading~ SFI has an awesome training program that is free to tap into. Also every link is filled with marketing ad business information.
Pro's~ learn at you own pace and you can ask questions on the forum or your sponsor even support if need be.
Con's~ I can't think of any!
4) Ask questions~
Pro's~
Knowledge is POWER and is always obtained better when you are interested and want "to know" something. Eg. question. "How and where do you share your link? You sponsor should be able to help you with the how, why and the where. Be it the Co-op, internet sites brochures, eCards..... Or be able to send you to the SFI link or another site that does. If you do NOT ask you will miss out on so much important information.
5) Online video sites like Vimeo and YouTube.
Pro's
There are videos now on how to do everything in every language.Marketing is covered quite well. It gives you the visual and audio learning that is missed with reading alone. If you are not a strong reader, this is a great way to learn.
6) literature and internet~
Pro's` You can read on your own time and the information is endless!
Con~ You may not always have access all the time to books or internet or be a strong reader.
7) Give Feedback and ask for Feed Back~ Always give feedback to anyone who is teaching you. I love getting critiqued by my teams with comments. If I get a low evaluation score from my down line, I am best served with a comment about what I can do to improve my marketing skills, so I can sharpen my leadership and marketing skills, so I can sharpen them. We are ALWAYS learning
.
The most important tip for last.

Strive to Learn and KNOW "ALL" your products and services of your busines.
Pro's~
You can respond to a prospect's question quickly while they are showing the interest in your business or item for sale.
It gives you better credibility which improves your sales and helps build your team faster etc.

My Best tips....

Lean on your leadership or find leadership you CAN lean on until you master your business knowledge and marketing skills.


This will get you actively marketing your business quickly. If you do not know your product and services, there is no way you can succeed in the long run. But why not get in the game now and learn as you grow? Your sponsor or mentor should embrace your enthusiasm to get the business going and do what it takes to help you.
