Hi, good question!!

Obviously try to log in everyday and get all of your daily, weekly, monthly points... Some other answers have nicely detailed these for you!

The best ways to get more VPs are...

Buy single Tcredits... These cost $1.99 each, so they are an expensive way to buy them, but you get a massive 102 VP (sales VP) for each one! And if you have stored up MRP you can use them 126MRP to buy instead of money.

The other way that is great for getting VP is giving out TripleClicks gift cards... You need to invest in them to start with, around $30 for a pack of 30, but you get 10VP (action VP) for each one that you register as given out! Or if money is an issue then you can try to win a pack in one of the auctions!

I hope that helps?!

Firstly, have they said they don't want to recruit PSAs, or are you guessing that? Either way, try to find out the real reasons... Maybe they think they will need a lot of money to recruit, or they don't know enough about SFI yet, or they don't think they have the skills to build a team yet... There can be many different reasons so try to understand them as an individual.

Secondly, never make them feel guilty! Ultimately it's each person's choice what they do and how they want to develop their business. It's your job to understand them and help them achieve their aims.

Thirdly, make sure you've done all you can to help them understand the principle of duplication and how powerful it can be in helping them achieve their goals, and long term business stability, but leave the decision to them!

Fourthly, if they really don't want to build and lead a team yet, find out where they do want to concentrate their efforts and help them achieve that! Give them time and they may well come back later wanting to build a team of PSAs! Be there for them now and they'll trust you later on when they see other ways to develop their business!

Lastly, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink... If they really aren't interested at the moment just let them know you'll be there if or when they want some help, and leave them be... Work with the workers!

Hi,
Do you really mean no success, or not as much success as you wanted or expected?
Either way, I would start by analysing what you've done over the past year. Identify exactly what it is that you're disappointed with. Are there some areas of your business that are doing well, but others that aren't? Were your initial goals too ambitious or too vague? Did you not have enough money or time to invest, or not as much as you thought you'd have?

Next I would go back through the SFI rules of success and the LaunchPad lessons to see if there are any key things there that you've missed, or neglected.

I would draw a line under the last year, take some time to debrief yourself and note down the things that you've done well, the things that you tried, and whether they worked or not, and the things that you've learned. I think you'll be surprised at how far you've come and how much you've learned! And that should encourage you!

Lastly I would make a new plan! Set some new goals, make them realistic and achievable as far as you can tell, but not too easy! Form some specific questions for things you would like answers to and submit them to the forum.

And maybe most importantly, don't beat yourself up! The past is done! Learn from it and move on! Don't let discouragement defeat you! You can make this succeed if you want to!

I hope you manage to turn it around and turn it into a successful business!

Good question!
I think that for most people, the first few days in SFI, if they are active, are a bit overwhelming with so much information being sent that it's ok to send a preformatted message to them, as long as you use ~FIRSTNAME~ to personalise it if you use the genealogy mailer.
What is more important is a follow up message in the next couple of days, and that is better if it is individual/personalised. You can check on the Movers tab to see who has done something and just send to those new affiliates if you don't have time to message all of them individually.
Sadly there are many sponsors in SFI who don't look after their downline, so any communication from you is better than many will get, just make it sound as personal as you can.

I hope that helps.

Hi,
You don't say what your current approach is so it's a little hard to say exactly, but my suggestion would be to debrief yourself and your current approach for attracting new affiliates!

What do I mean by that?

First you have to think about exactly what is that you have been doing until now. You can brainstorm this into several categories, e.g. How much time you spend trying to get new affiliates, what marketing methods have you been using, how much money have you invested etc

Next I would go back to re-read the LaunchPad lessons, see if there's anything there that you missed, or that you've neglected or stopped doing.

Once you've done these tasks, sit and analyse them, think through where you can improve, or do something differently. Once you've written some stuff down it may be more obvious to you!

Finally I would use the Forum and a2a network to ask advice from people who are managing to attract lst of new affiliates... Find out what they do, how they do it, and how long it took them!! Maybe you just need to persevere a little longer!

All the best, and don't be discouraged! Keep at it!

Great question!

First Skype - what a great tool for communication! To promote SFI and TripleClicks to people who aren't yet joined up may be a bit limited, but it's a good way of talking to all your existing contacts instead of just emailing them! It will take a bit longer to get all their Skype addresses, or to persuade them to sign up to Skype if they aren't already using it, but once you have it set up you can call or message so easily!

The big benefit I think is with your downline, especially those who are struggling at some point or not really getting going. It's so much easier to chat to people so they can ask questions. Sometimes we don't even know what our question is, but when we talk it through with someone it comes out and our questions are answered! You can be that person to your downline! Even if some of your team don't speak the same language as you very easily, it's still nice to be able to establish a good friendly relationship between you so that they know you really care about them and their business!

Also, you can choose to setup a Skype account in another country, so for example, if you have a lot of PSAs or contacts in India, but you live in Canada, why not setup an India based Skype account so that if you have to call a phone rather than online Skype to Skype, then all your calls will be at the local rate, not a really expensive international rate! This works well for anyone who doesn't have reliable Internet or who doesn't get much time online!

And you can put something about SFI and TripleClicks on your Skype ID so that people will see it as soon as they see your ID. Be careful not to SPAM contacts that you don't know yet though!

YouTube - if you search on YouTube there are so many videos already about SFI & TripleClicks! And not all in English! There are videos in so many languages! Take some time to look through them, and favourite any that you think will be really useful to you, then you can use those to promote SFI.& TripleClicks! You can use them one to one with friends, family, local businesses or other people that you meet, or send the link to your contacts in an email, or social media link, or use the link in your blogs or websites if you have them setup already!

Of course, if you have the skills and knowledge about SFI and TripleClicks you can make your own videos and post them to YouTube, but why not start with what's already there?

With both of these tools, you need good access to the Internet. YouTube in particular needs good Internet speed and reliability to make it useful, but don't be put off if internet isn't good where you live, maybe just o for shorter videos and do Skype by message or just voice call without video!

Have fun and all the best with your business!

I think the answer is probably 'yes', but I don't have experience of that myself...
Why don't you contact some affiliates who have a TCurrency licence and ask them about their experience? Maybe some a2a contacts are licence holders, or you can look on the leader boards to find people who have a TCurrency licence and then contact them through a2a.

All the best.

Affiliate since: 04/05/2014, Power Rank: 99999999

I would tell them your own story with SFI and try to get them to connect with some a2a people who've built solid businesses... I'm sure most of them can say that it didn't come overnight!
If you don't know of any specific people yourself why not encourage them to check out the leaders on the different leader boards and try to connect with some of them on a2a!

I hope that helps.

All the best.

Good question!

Avoid..

> anything untrue or exaggerated - already too many new PSAs drop out before they get going, we need to be honest about the opportunities and not lead people astray in any way!

> too many words, or complicated words - Keep It Simple - for many potential PSAs, English is a second language, and no one wants to be made to feel stupid by 'clever' use of words!

> anything that you personally don't understand, don't believe in or can't deliver. E.g. Don't set up complicated advertising campaigns using websites, webinars etc if you don't understand them yet!! I'm Definately in this category! Got some learning to do before I move on to this!

> giving too much information in one go - its better to get someone's attention with one thing than to bore or confuse them with Too Much Information and lose them! Have different adverts for each area of SFI, TripleClicks etc.

I hope that helps you in deciding what to avoid in your adverts!

All the best for your business!

Most answers suggest using both, or at least that they are both as effective as each other.
My question to you would be which format are you more comfortable with? If one is much easier for you to start with, then start with that one, and build up knowledge to use the other one later.
For example, even if you yourself have no experience of setting up websites or blogs, you may know someone who can help you start one or the other, so draw on others' experience and help if you can.

All the best in developing your business further!
