The SHORT ANSWER is; Anyone can succeed in building a viable SFI/TripleClicks business.

The reason 98% of franchise owners succeed and 98% of folks who open a businesses on their own fail within the first year is, franchises are boilerplate, cookie cutter stamp operations. Franchises are a tried and proven programs that can be duplicated by anyone willing to learn the system, follow directions, and make the investment of required time and money. You must determine what your willing to

Excellent question!..

The short answer IS ~ CREDIBILITY, SEO & BRANDING...

The long answer ~ FIRST IMPRESSION & PERCEIVED CREDIBILITY;

When I see someone using a FREE eMail and domain/website/hosting service it tells me they don't have enough confidence in the longevity of their program to themselves invest for the long term in their project. So why should I even take the time to evaluate and consider their venture! Yes I'm a critical, skeptical thinker.

It's stated by most business collage courses that most people fear public speaking over most other activities. Since speaking in public is not a requirement your shyness should not be a deterrent.

Assuming you're in or have been involved with another person you shyness was overcome by a desire to gain! And if you have children, your shyness didn't stop you from propagating. Again shyness was overcome by a deep burning desire. So I ask you, can you apply that same desire to overcome shyness,

It depends on your disposable & discretionary monies you have available. If you financially capable do both. If you're on a slim budget in my opinion it's better to initially focus on your EA/EA2 qualifications first by investing in the 'Standing Order Process'. WHY?.. SFI is not your typical get rich quick promo that never pans out. This is a business that must be constructed day by day and brick by brick! " The Brick meaning solid PSA's". This is business is like framing a house.

There is NO bad method of recruiting PSA's. Having said that, keep this in mind. If your going to phone solicit people using a phone directory, you could get in trouble with the Nations "Do Not Call List". Calling people who are on that list violates certain FCC regulations. There are ways to avoid this problem but it requires purchasing a memberships and using a whitelist phone directory. In addition it takes allot of manual time just to find interested suspects, you must cultivate into

For my own part or involvement in SFI this question clearly strikes home. Here's the reason it should be important to others,. so pay close attention.

I'm age 65 and living on disability. I wanted to improve my standard of living but had become extremely limited in my capabilities to perform. Literally relegated to the confines of my room and bathroom.

I was first exposed to 'SFI' back on October 27th, 2014 via online searching for an opportunity. Because I didn't have a trusted

Let's first start with the concept of having FUN!... The Pricebenders auctions are fun to participate in. There's allot of great products. In addition you can win!... I certainly have and it's exciting. On one occasion I acquired a $100 bluetooth receiver for just 39 cents. Two days later it was delivered. I let others know about my success and it's producing results with others participating.

You can't teach others how to swim unless you are in the water yourself!... Participate and share

It has been well established throughout the independant sales and marketing recruiting & advertising world, that less than 1% of those who start out being recruited will survive. And half of that will be really successful in their game of things! So you can estimate that 1 in 100 will be those you can count on!!
