Hello,

I understand where your question is coming from. It's not easy to tell people you think they should be doing things in a different manner, because it might hurt their feelings or discourage them from continuing their work.

In my conversations with my downline, I always tend to emphasize how well they are doing first. I make sure they understand that I appreciate their efforts and acknowledge their progress. I encourage them to continue good work and do even better. I tell them they are capable of doing anything if they really want it and work hard to get it. Secondly, I suggest what I think they should or shouldn't be doing. I explain them my opinion. Sometimes I give them an example of my own actions that didn't give good results, so they can learn from my experience.

So, basically, I try to praise them first and criticize second. And when I do have to criticize, I try my best to be gentle and tactful.

I hope this answer helps you.
Best regards

Hello David!

In my opinion, the best way to get the most from our MRP is to use them to buy products that will help us grow our business. I specially prefer buying TCredits with my MRP. In this way I save money. I buy TCredits I can use for bidding on Pricebenders Auctions or playing Eager Zebra games, and I get valuable Sales VP for each purchase. My favorite transaction is buying 1 TC with 126 MRP and getting 102 VP as well.

I hope my answer is helpful. Best regards.

Hello Sandra!

In my opinion, you should definitely advise your PSAs not to rush with qualifying as Team Leader.
There is no point of becoming a Team Leader without a team. TLs benefit mostly through duplication, and if a PSA doesn't have EA2 downline, or active CSA, becoming a TL is unprofitable at an early stage of SFI business.

Of course, if your PSAs still decide to qualify as TLs right from the start, respect their decision and their desire to succeed. It's actually a good indicator that your PSA is serious about the business. This is something you should cherish and nourish. But I still feel that it's our duty to be honest and act in our PSAs' best interest, and therefore to point out to them they will not have any significant benefits from their TL rank until they build a team.

Hope my answer is helpful. Best regards.

The benefits of Pricebenders auctions you can promote to prospects are:

- A chance to win and buy valuable product at amazingly low prices.

- A chance to buy PSAs, CSAs, Tcredits, S-builder subscription, etc. at very low prices to help them grow their business.

- Participating in Bid and Build program and getting 1 PSA for every 50 bids in auctions.

- Earning 1 Action VP for every bid in auctions which helps them reach a desired rank for the current month.

- Earning 5 MRP, or 10 MRP if it's a Double MRP Auction, for each bid. Accumulated MRP can be used instead of money to buy products on TripleClicks.

- Possibility to change some products they win into a certain amount of TC, which allows them to bid on another auctions, earn more VP and more MRP.

- Opportunity to get back all of their biding TC if they win a WBF Auction.

- The fun and excitement of participating.

These are the benefits of Pricebenders auctions and in order for your prospects to understand them you must explain them the terms used in SFI an TripleClicks. People that are not SFI affiliates yet, or have joined just recently, do not know what Versa Points or Tcredits are. You have to clarify to them what they are and how are they used. That can be done if you are using warm marketing or face-to-face marketing to promote your business. On the other hand, these terms may be very confusing for your prospects, especially if you are promoting your business online. In that case, I think it would be better to promote Pricebenders Auctions more generally, e.g:

- Win brand new gadgets and appliances at amazingly low prices.

- Win marketing aids to help you grow your business.

- Build a team of affiliates while bidding on auctions.

- Get special Member Reward Points you can use to buy products in Tripleclicks online shop without money.

- Have so much fun.

I hope this answer is helpful. Best of luck!

Hello Snezana!

I actually conducted a short study to answer your question.

According to Wikipedia, targeted advertising is a type of advertising where, in order to reach as many prospects as possible in the most efficient manner, ads are placed as to reach a specific group of people. This group of people is defined with a common trait or set of traits. These traits are divided into two groups significant to advertisers:

1. Demographics, which usually includes gender, age, ethnicity, location, knowledge of languages, marital status, employment status, etc. Marketers usually combine several variables to define what's called a DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE. Demographic profile represents a typical member of the targeted group.

2. Psychographics, which includes activities, interests, opinions, values, beliefs, behavior. These are often called IAO variables, because they mostly focus on Interests, Attitudes and Opinion.

So, your first step is to have a clear vision of who the typical person you want to address with your advertisement is. In other words you have to make a complete demographic and/or psychographic profile. Next step is to create an advertisement that will target exactly that typical person and no one else. This means that your ad shouldn't or mustn't be broad and general, but quite the opposite, it should be very specific and targeted.

When you place, so-called paid advertisement, for example on Facebook or Google, you have the ability to make demographic and psychographic profile by choosing a set of offered variables. This makes targeted advertising a lot easier because your ad will be sent only to your targeted group of people. Still, your ad has to be efficient, so make sure you address your group properly by choosing text and images accordingly.

When placing free ads by posting on social networks or free classifieds, you have to pay even more attention that your text and images address the right audience. You can also place targeted ads in groups, forums or communities, where your targeted group gathers. For example, if your demographic profile is a young mother from a specific country, you can find FB groups, or Google+ communities, or even forums, where young mothers from that location exchange information and experience and place your ad there.

I know my answer is a bit lengthy, but I hope it's helpful. Best regards.

Hello Carl!

In my opinion, the best you can do is influence your affiliates to become serious about the business, but there really is no 100% guarantee they'll ever get serious.

You could, and definitely should, show your affiliates how much you are dedicated to your business yourself. Show them your persistence and your own determination and make sure they understand that these qualities are necessary in order to succeed in any business, and therefore in SFI as well. Show them how much you love what you do. Show them you didn't succeed by pure luck, but with hard work and smart investments of your time and money. Hopefully, they will copy your pattern of behavior.

But be prepared to often be disappointed, because some affiliates will never get serious business builders no matter what you do. It doesn't make you a bad sponsor. Actually, it has nothing to do with you. Its a matter of human nature. Some people quit before they even start. Some quit halfway to success. Some quit, and this is probably the most devastating phenomena, just when they are about to achieve something big, and you never see it coming, because they seem very serious about the business.

So, do your best to influence your affiliates to become serious business builders in SFI, and the best way to do it is to lead by example. On the other hand, don't feel bad if some of your affiliates never get serious. Not everyone can recognize the unique opportunity that SFI offers.

Hope this answer is helpful. Best regards.

Hello Ana!

I think it is better to provide prospects with brief overview, because too much information can be a serious turnoff to them.

Think about how long it took you to fully understand the concept of SFI business. If you provide your prospects with detailed information about SFI there is no way they will understand any of it. Think about just the abbreviations we use here in SFI. Starting from our company's name to PSA, CSA, EA, EA2, PRM, MRP, ECA, TC, VP, BTL, STL, etc. There is no way you can explain to your prospects what all of these abbreviations stand for without making them very confused. And these terms and what they represent is essential for our business. If you give too much information to your prospects, they will be confused and feel overwhelmed. They may come to think that SFI business is too complicated and that there is too much to work and too much they have to learn.

So, in my opinion, it is better to provide less information to your prospects. But make sure your overview is, though brief, also accurate, concise and presents the essence of our business.

Hope this answer is helpful. Best regards.

Hello,

I think both are equally helpful for our business.

With each Eager Zebra game entry (which costs 1 TCredit) you earn 1 Versa Point, 5 Member Reward Points (or 10 MRP if you play Double MRP KO Trivia) and a chance to win hundreds of TCredits. When playing free games, you have an equal chance to win TCredits, but you don't earn VP and MRP. Accumulating VP helps you achieve a rank in SFI, and higher you are ranked in SFI the bigger is your share of profit. You can use MRP or TC to buy products on TripleClicks, and with each purchase you also earn VP. You can also use TC to bid on auctions.

With each bid on the Pricebenders auction (which costs 1 TC) you earn 1 VP, 5 MRP (10 MRP if you are bidding on Double MRP auctions) and a chance to buy valuable products at extremely low prices. If you win on WBF auction you also get all your bidding TC back. And now, with the Bid&Build program launched, once you reach 50 bids (on one or various auctions) you receive a brand new PSA for your team. So, auctions help you reach a higher rank, accumulate MRP to buy products on TripleClicks, and also help you build a team to increase your profits.

In conclusion, both Eager Zebra games and Pricebenders auctions are important for our business and they both help us grow our business in multiple ways.

I hope this answer is helpful and wish you good luck in games and auctions!

Hello!

In my opinion, it is worth it. You never know when a PSA or CSA might change their mind and become active. You never know if an email you will send to them is just the right trigger for your PSA/CSA to start working.

This is an online job and somewhat impersonal, so we sometimes tend to forget that people from our downline are just regular human beings with their regular everyday problems. Some of them might be confused with all the information regarding SFI business. Some of them might be skeptic because of so many scams on the Internet. Some of the affiliates might have some private issues that are preventing them from working.

I send supportive emails to all of my PSAs and CSAs even though most of them are inactive. I send them news about all the great features in SFI that can help them in their business. It doesn't cost me a thing, just a couple of minutes of my time weekly. And yet, maybe one of those emails will reach an inactive affiliate and push just the right button.

Finally, supporting my downline is a part of my job, so it's always worth it.

Best regards.
