There is nothing that you can do with PSAs that do not want to recruit affiliates or engage. People like to do business with people they know and trust. If your PSA is disengaged it simply means that they don't believe in SFI, you, or possibly themselves.

May I suggest that you welcome your PSAs within the first 24 hours of signing and affirm their decision to join your team. Assure them that you are there to help them reach their goals and that your agenda is to work with them if

I'm glad you asked this question. Never chase people. As the adage goes . . . you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. The genealogy tool makes it simple just to send a blanket message to this 'drift wood'. Drift wood is good for making a fire, or perhaps even building a canoe. But until it finds a purpose it just drifts along. So you never really give up on them but I wouldn't bother sending each one an e-card! That's a total waste time when you have 1000s of them.

In my experience, don't reassign affiliates until you have a plethora of EAs to assign to team leaders or other loyal EAs. SFI is a solid business with a long range strategy. Most affiliates will not last a year and many for much less time. So reassigning affiliates becomes fruitless when you do gain the downward synergy required for massive duplication. This is the only reason that you will need to reassign affiliates.

You will find that some affiliates will not work as diligently

The best way that I find to perpetuate TripleClicks participation is to boast a little about the great prizes and merchandise available. When I win an auction, I like to post this to my social network. It peaks peoples curiosity when they see that you won something. Everyone loves to win. You can't win if you don't play the game. When you play you must realize that it is a game. You will have good fortune and some less fortune. To change your fortune you have to try again.

Many affiliates seem only interested in the Daily To-Do list. How can I motivate them to do other activities?

Motivating your affiliates to do anything that they aren't willing to do is not possible. Lead by example. Share your interesting blog posts with your network. Share your youtube channel with them. Share your forum posts and talk about strategies you use to win Pricebender auctions. Share some pics on your social networks with some of the stuff you've won. Some still won't be impressed and that's okay. Some will be impressed and motivated to try it themselves! Work with workers and don't

This is a very good question and here's your explanation. Search engines index pages across the world wide web every so often. They work tireless like a librarian cataloging books on the shelves in the library only they are gather information from millions of sites across the web. Just like the librarian follows a system to catalog books, the search engines use a system to index sites. The system they use is based on a set of rules called a algorithm. There are several factors that play into

If you are shy and not internet savvy then you may need to reconsider your choice to go in this type of business. Business is about interacting with people and you can't afford to be shy when profits are at stake. If you are not internet savvy then you may want to consider a more traditional approach to the business.

Direct mail has come of age and is a viable way to grow your business. You can use a reputable list broker to get biz opp leads that are interested in working part time

Good question. The E-Commerce Associate program is a way to expand your customer base. So this is how you explain it:

"Sir/Ma'am thanks for allowing me a space to share our ECA program with your store. I see you are offering gifts. Are they selling well locally for your store?" Yes. "Great! Since that is a good selling item it is likely to have a good market in places where you don't have a store. Have you ever considered sell this item online?" We have a

How can we get across to our affiliates that investing minor (at least) amounts of money into SFI is smart?

The simplest way to explain anything is to be straight to the point. When it comes to investing money into SFI most have a misconception. It is the misconception centered about the "no obligation to buy" policy. Let's get it straight. You don't ever have to purchase anything if you don't want to. You can just do without. Right?

However, if you want to maintain EA over the long term you will either have to invest in a transfer buy or create an active network. A large inactive
