Back in the day, this was the way ALL telemarketing was done. If you wanted to reach new customers, you got a phone book and phone and went right down the listings and called.
This was then & is now, a BIG waste of time. In those days, this was nearly the ONLY way to get to new customers, at least on a budget.
But, today we have a better version of that archaic marketing and that's your COMPUTER. Use it! Mention SFI and TripleClicks anytime you can. Buy things at TripleClicks yourself,

Honestly, if you are super shy AND not internet savvy, this may not be the line of business for you. Because SFI and TripleClicks are about connecting with people to teach them how to make money thru SFI/TC's and you need to be able to get people to join your downline. So you must be able to overcome you shyness quickly and learn how to do the basic things on a computer...or you will have a difficult time making this business work for you. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

At SFI!. The best way is to become a member of
SFI and TC's and go through the volumes of information and training they have available for you. ASK! Go to the forum & ask folks. Go online and ask people. But right here at the affiliate center is the best place to go. Our Superior Support Team is also a great choice if you just don't know what to do or where to go. They will help you quickly and with a smile. Join A2A and get friends that are other SFI'ers just like you....they have

Ask them! Send out a little survey to your downline and offer a small reward for the quickest responses.
Send team mail to your downline asking them that very question...what they would like to buy from Triple Clicks if they could?
Communication is pretty much the only way to get an accurate wish list from your downline or anyone your trying to recruit.
While there are certain things that all people find valuable, like Tcredits or free gift certificates to TC, to get a specific list,

How can I use a PSA's Affiliate Profile to help him or her get off to a good start and become successful in SFI?

First, the profile's are just plain interesting. It's neat to be able to get a snapshot picture of what your new team member is like, where they are from, what their experience is and what they are looking for. If you know this upfront, you can focus your motivating them to what is pertinent to them and not just general one size fits all, guidance.

I would immediately read the Checklist and follow the instructions there as to what to do with your new team member...until you are happy

Is it wise to offer non-SFI related incentives to my CSAs and PSAs? For example, create a standing order and get a free DVD?

If you have a lot of something that is valuable to your general downline, then YES. But, don't try to offload some crap that no one wants, right? Better yet, if it is business related free stuff! Or better yet, use the product as a reward or prize for a contest you can run to motivate your crew. I wouldn't go out and spend money on incentives, but if you have it already and it's seen as valuable to your downline, by all means, go ahead!

There are so many things you can get with them. Choose a product or service that you want to have and just keep racking up the MRP's until you have enough! It's fun and free in the end. You get both MRP's & VP's for each purchase you make through Tripleclicks. Look under the 'Rewards' tab on the page for details.

I wish you could GET them to become serious, however, you cannot. Your downline must be willing to put in some effort and realistically, a little money, into their SFI/TC's business to make money.
Not everyone 'gets' the SFI/TC concept and how they make money with it. I've had a few Opt-outs say they didnt understand the program as the reason for leaving.
So I would suggest that you try to determine your individual downline's strengths and weakness by asking them questions and try to

Is it better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about...or more lengthly, detailed information?

I think you should have a variety of communication with your downline. I start with a concise Welcome eCard, with a basic rundown of what to do next for them. In a few days, I send another communication with a mini SFI lesson that is applicable to that person. I have several times a week I send out tips to my downline, or something new I found on SFI/TC. So your communication should be a variety of long, short and in between as far as information level goes. If you give them too little, they

Network with other Saleswomen...ask questions....you must have a bit of a thick skin and not take things too personally. And you must be patient. Sales is a numbers game....lots of times you will hear a LOT of No's before you get a few yes'. You must persevere. If you give up, you obviously wont sell anything. And you MUST believe in your product. If you don't believe and want the product you are selling, how could you expect anyone else to want this product from you?!
KNOW your product.
