Hi Ronald,

This is very unfortunate but true and happens to a lot of affiliates. We provide unconditional support to our downline but the most important thing is to know, is that support effective and relevant enough?

I must tell you that sponsoring is a very systematic and sensible method. The most important thing is to create a bonding with our active downline and have regular interaction. We have to provide timely and appropriate support and keep on monitoring their performance and providing the feedback as well.

Support is not like just forwarding regular newsletters, news updates, important features, methods, contests etc. We must be very much aware of our team and their individual(esp the movers) activities. We cannot wait for them to ask something and rather tell them in advance what's wrong and what's right.

We shouldn't have the feeling of doing any kind of favor to them(because we have our own profit in it as well) and that will help us to strengthen the relation. We should take the first step and be sensible, co-operating & innovative in our approach.

Having said all these things, its also necessary to get the reaction of the downline. If they don't react we'll be unable to find and sort out the problems they're facing. There will always be a major no. of affiliates joining SFI with the aim of earning some easy money and no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to impress them. So we need to carry on with our approach and take special care of the ones(active movers) who're ready to learn and apply the things.

I hope the above mentioned explanation will help you a bit if not completely. I know you're doing your best but there's always a scope of improvement, best of luck with your SFI journey.

Now that’s a very important question applicable to a lot of affiliates. I’m trying to explain it in a simple manner, please go minutely through the mentioned details:

Daily VP's:
Log in to your homepage every day.
Click on the "To Do List" tab. Then click on the button at the bottom of the page. This will give you 1 VP.
Check out the latest items at TripleClicks.com by clicking on the latest items at TripleClicks link you’ll get 1 VP.
Click on the other 9 red tabs and click the button at the bottom of the page to get 9 VP’s.
This gives you total 11 VP’s for each day of the month & 11*30=330 VP’s for the month.

While visiting the tabs, don’t forget your entry into the Daily Grand Drawing at the "Win It" tab. If you’re lucky enough you can grab exciting prizes changing the whole scenario.

Weekly VP's:
Send a support message to your downline using any of the SFI Group mailers to get 30 VP’s/week.
Visit your TConnect page to get 5 VP’s/week.
Send a "Stream Post” three times per week to get 3 VP’s/week.
That’s(30+5+3)=38 VP’s per week and(38*4)=152 VP’s each month.

Monthly VP's:
Submit your SFI and sponsor ratings form & grab 10 VP’s.
Set your monthly goals by the 10th of the month & grab 5 VP’s.

So now you have a total of(330+152+15)=497 VP’s for the month. You now need to earn the other 1003 VP’s.

Check out your ToDo list thoroughly and see if there are any other points available to you.

P.S.- It’s not all about collecting the versa points, its gathering the much needed information's attached with the VP's which is essential for your SFI long term.

Without any other VP from actions you will be able to make up the final 1003 VP’s with a purchase of 10 individual TCredits for $19.90. This will earn you 102 VP for each with a total of(102*10)=1020 VP, for a grand total of(497+1020)=1517 VP.

By setting up a standing order, the price will drop to $1.89 each and reduce your cost by $1.00 to $18.90.

As an Executive Affiliate, you’ll also be awarded 2 CSAs each month.
You can use 1 TCredit to bid on PriceBenders auctions and earn 1 VP and 5 MRP for each bid(Preferably do this the next month of purchase)that gives you 10 VP's & 50 MRP's.

You’ll also earn 25 VP’s for product rating/review(Preferably do this the next month of purchase). To determine if you have pending reviews/ratings to do, just log in at Tripleclicks.com, click the "Member Center" link in the top right, and select the "Review Center" link.

So now you are an EA & will start the next month with 35 VP’s & 50 MRP’s.

Since 1 TCredit can be purchased for 120 MRP, you could purchase 1 TCredit after 3 months using your(50*3)=150 MRP’s, reducing your cost by another $1.89.

Hope these details will help you & other financially challenged affiliates!

Hi Sabastine,

This is a very critical situation, which is faced by all the sponsors sooner/later & is need to be addressed very sensibly.

First of all you need to ascertain properly the activities of your PSA/CSA to ascertain where he/she's going wrong. You need to analyze his daily SFI activities, marketing efforts, sponsoring efforts etc. You need to understand their background, economic condition etc. Only after fully analyzing you can provide a suitable & timely feedback & guide them to the route of success. I'm mentioning some of the possibilities along with required actions below:

# New affiliate : For the new joiners you need to first of all make them understand program. Tell them to Visit the SFI home page - https://www.sfimg.com/Home on daily basis and go through the three options - "Getting Started, SFI Basics & Launchpad" & don't just read them but apply the instructions accordingly.

# Proper Monitoring : You should be well aware of your team(esp. the movers) & monitoring their progress or where they're lagging in a proper/regular manner.

# Timely feedback : Provide timely feedback so that they can undo their mistakes & move in the right direction. If they ask for any help, don't ever ignore it & be prompt in your response(ASAP).

# Economic constraints : There are lots of affiliates who are not economically sound enough, you should help them out by suggesting how they approach their business with min. investments. Check this link - https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc_question&id=9284 for reference.

# Contest : Arrange regular contests & reward their efforts to help & motivate them. You can provide them TCredits, reassign affiliates, use gift certificates etc.

# Duplication : Make them understand the importance of duplication & how they can multiply their efforts with the help of that.

# Advertising : Tell them the various ways & options(free classifieds, traffic exchanges, blogs, websites, forums, social networking sites etc) of advertising to generate more PSA, PRM, ECA, Sales etc.

# Power of interaction : Tell them to interact with the fellow affiliates & visit the forum on regular basis. Lots of affiliates gain enormous knowledge, resolute their problems from the large knowledge pool of experienced & helpful affiliates active in the Forum.

# Lead by example : You're the team leader so its your duty to share your milestones & success methods with them. You should lead by example & make them to follow you. Make them understand that it takes everyone for a while to get success(you can give your example as well), but their should be continuous & sincere effort.

# Positive intent : Finally the most important part is to provide the positive intent by sharing motivational quotes, success stories etc. Always remain by their side, if not financially then at-least mentally. A positive approach can change a lot of things & work wonders.

I hope I've been able to put some light in the process of encouraging your affiliates. Move out, apply it & build/maintain a strong team to excel in SFI!

Best of luck!

This is a comparative question which needs proper evaluation. First of all we should make it clear what do we mean by a successful SFI affiliate? Would you call a person to be successful on the basis of his/her rank, no. of PSA’s/CSA’s, total VP or no. of badges earned very quickly in just weeks?

I won’t agree with that because all those above mentioned things can be achieved very quickly by investing money. For me a person to be successful does not depend on how much he/she invests but on the ROI(return on investment).

Initially it may appear that a certain affiliate is achieving a lot of things very quickly through investment, but there are lot of other affiliates who are mentally & technically well equipped but doesn’t have the privilege to invest a large amount initially. A person, who is concentrating on building a strong team & focusing on marketing & sales as well through proper advertising & follow up on regular basis, is going to be a winner sooner/later.

Two persons using the same approach but still it may happen that they taste the fruits of success at different times.

It all depends on a lot of aspects mentioned below:

1) Luck factor
2) Prior experience of online/network marketing
3) Availability of a caring & helpful upline
4) Time factor
5) Monetary factor
6) Technical aspects

There can be many more reasons varying from person to person.

Finally I’d conclude by saying that don’t get overwhelmed by the initial nos. of others, but concentrate on your own goals, plan & execute accordingly. SFI itself speaks about long term commitments & determination.

I hope I’m able to clear some of your doubts if not completely!

Cheers! :D

Failing to plan is setting yourself up for failure. It is like you are driving at top speed, but don't know where you are going.

Setting goals is not just about writing down something. It includes careful monitoring and control periodically to ensure you are following what you wrote down.

That is the reason why SFI have added a review of the goals tab - https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=goals. You will not earn your 1VP from the goals tab until you state what you have done on that day to meet your goal.

Hence while setting your goals, remember to make them specific, measurable, attainable/achievable, realistic and timed bound. It is called the SMART Principle. Also Make sure to follow the KISS Approach(Keep It Short and Simple).

Hope the above helps in your route to success!
