Here's one way:

1 - write down in point form the 5 most attractive things about SFI that made you sign up.

2 - Rate them in their order of importance to you. 1 being most important and 5 least.

3 - Point no:1 is your headline. Try to make it as short and as catchy as you can.

4 - Points no: 3,4 & 5 make up the body of your ad. Again try to write the point as short and as appealing as possible.

5 - Point no:2 is your base line. Try to write

One of the great things about SFI is that even someone who is completely new can get up to speed very quickly and then help others too.

To do this SFI has 03 excellent methods:

1 - All the training material is provided free of charge at 'SFI Basics' and 'rules of success'. Don't just read these to gain the VP on offer. Study this material very carefully and repeatedly, especially if you are new.

2 - Your up-line. When you are faced with a question you do not know

Successful leaders on SFI or anywhere else, first have to be great followers. A successful leader always starts by being a successful follower.

What do they know? They must always know more than their team. So they must read up more and keep reading up more all the time: No one wants to follow someone who does not know more than they do.

They must be excellent Visionaries who focus more on what can be, rather than on what is.

They are great communicators, motivators

One word: DUPLICATION!

Without a doubt this has to be the 'best way' to get AVP.

Of course there are so many ways to get AVP, but that is NOT your question now, is it?

Duplication enables you to develop your team members into leaders (Bronze / Silver / Gold / Platinum) who know how to make their team members into leaders who understand the value of Duplication.

This is by far the best way to get AVP as it has no limit and continues to grow.

How to get across to affiliates that investing into SFI is smart?

Remember duplication? Show your team by example: Tell them three things - 1)How & what you have already invested in. 2) The results it delivered for you. 3) The time span between investment and return.(Be as specific as possible)

Select genuine workers who have this issue and send them a small gift to shop on TripleClicks for themselves. My Sponsor once sent me US$20 to shop on TripleClicks; what a lift I

As soon as an affiliate has signs up, welcome them to 'THE TEAM'. Introduce yourself not only as their team leader, but also as their personal guide to success with SFI.

This will make them feel comfortable to ask you for assistance and guidance when ever they need it.

Build a relationship with them both within and outside SFI. For example; send them a friend request on facebook, LinkedIn, or some other social network, so you can get to know them as 'people' not just 'affiliates',

1) Encourage all your affiliates to sign up as TripleClicks members too. (It's free so this should not be a problem)

2) Introduce them to the exciting things about TripleClicks; auctions / TCredit buys / WAVE3 / MRP etc. Then watch their progress.

3) Send out posts to your team about special bargains YOU'VE discovered on TripleClicks.

3) Send a small 'gift' of TCredits or cash (US$10 even) to those who have already signed up on TripleClicks to do some 'free shopping'.

4)

By yourself you can only do so much. BUT if there were several of you, imagine what you could accomplish.

This is the basic idea of duplication - multiplying yourself, your work ethic, your determination, your effort and above all, your results.

Two things happen with duplication;
1) You empower others to become successful too.
2) Their success enhances your success.

This is particularly so with SFI because of the structure of the operation - one of the

You need to establish strong rapport between you and your 'Team' members to get them to participate or even respond to you on a regular basis.

One way of doing this that has worked well for me, is to establish lines of communication and build friendships outside the SFI platform as well. Connect up on Facebook, Linked-In, or similar social networks that they already use. Share emails, phone numbers etc if they are open to it.

This way you can keep in touch and maintain communication,

Hi Friend,

Remember the adage; 'It is better to teach a person to fish than to give them a fish a day for the rest of their lives.'

Well, that's how far you should go.

Help your Affiliates to learn how to succeed at building their own business with SFI.

At the start it may require some hand-holding and even some hand-outs, but always teach the lesson and demonstrate it by your own actions too.

You may have to start by giving them a fish, then
