Hi,

That's what I say:

"First of all, question yourself. Are you ready to become a leader? Leading an alliance is not all fun and games.

Leading is a massive time commitment. You will need to be super active if you want to become a good leader. You will be overseeing actions within the SFI, sorting out requests, overlooking the forums, researching other affiliates. Last of all, but by far not the least, you will be leading your affiliates members.

Hi,

I personally have adopted this method, I made a pattern where I see in real time the clocks of all my affiliates.

As for the different cultures, I try to respect the different aspects informing me, I have many friends of affiliates all over the world and as I said the basis of everything is respect.

At the beginning of my adventure in SFI had a little bit of fear in the face and confront people with a different, but then I realized that sincerity towards our neighbor

Hi,

my basic theory is that a good salesman must have at least two basic qualities: empathy and ego drive.

Ability to feel.
Empathy, the important central ability to feel as the other fellow does in order to be able to sell him a product or service, must be possessed in large measure. Having empathy does not necessarily mean being sympathetic. One can know what the other fellow feels without agreeing with that feeling. But a salesman simply cannot sell well without the

Hi,

WHY IT'S VITAL TO REVIEW THE PROGRESS OF YOUR BUSINESS.

It's easy to focus only on the day-to-day running of your business, especially in the early stages.

Reviewing your progress will be particularly useful if you feel:

uncertain about how well the business is performing unsure if you're getting the most out of the business or making the most of market opportunities your business plan may be out of date, e.g. you haven't updated it since you started

Hi,

each of us is blocked by some form of unconscious fear that over time has become part of our mental program. These fears stem from past experiences, encounters wrong, mistakes unintentionally by parents or other people who have been close.
Nobody teaches us that fall in love with ourselves, in everything, is the single most important thing to live a happy life.
 
And so we find ourselves constantly searching for something or someone that we complete, and we are convinced

Hi,

My advertising strategy.

Almost every business needs to promote itself in some way, reaching out to customers and potential customers.

For businesses with large numbers of target clients in well-defined market segments, advertising can be a cost-effective way of communicating with them.



Setting your promotional objectives and deciding whether to advertise.

Determining your promotional budget.

I personally think that building a team efficient does not depend absolutely on the type of language you speak, sure maybe if you have affiliates who speak the same language you can easy to explain all aspects of SFI.

However nowadays even if you do not know other languages perfectly, you're helped by translators like that of Google that allows you to translate from your language in almost all languages of the world including less used and still a good percentage of people in the world

Hi,
always better detailed information like:

When it comes to being involved in a business, it doesn’t take much to see if one is or isn’t serious about it. I’m sure most of us have joined a site for one reason or another, right? Often, just because one colleague asks one if you join mine I will join yours? Most of us have done that to absolutely not accomplish anything whatsoever, unless its merely a referral contest going on, to collect emails.
Seriously though, what

I personally use both methods, when place an ad on a site that allows the use of gateway SFI, when placed in sites that do not allow it, I put a link to my site with the explanation of the work in SFI.

Here are some of Free Advertising Methods that Really work and I'm using them on a daily basis:
Free classified ad sites
Facebook (fan page)
Twitter
Squidoo
Craigslist's
YouTube
having your own blog/website
PTC websites
