Dear Emmanuel,

Before SFI, I never had any experience in selling, neither face to face, nor online.

SFI is my School, a free Advertising and Marketing course that can help me reach my personal goals.

You could explain it in the similar way to your prospects. Everybody can become a Marketing Affiliate and earn a second income.

It is not a skill that cannot be learnt, it's just a matter of Readers becoming Leaders. And SFI is the free Bestseller you recommend!

Hello!

I guess your goal is to make affiliates more active, and team contests are a great way to do that. Just have in mind the following:

1. Let them know about the competition, than keep occasionally reminding them, through Stream posts or Team mails.

2. Give them a hint on how to accomplish the task you gave them. Maybe they need to sponsor most affiliates and they don't know how. Send them a useful tip, link, idea.

3. Finally, think carefully about

Hello!

Being competitive is great if it pushes you to be the best affiliate you can, - in marketing, referring and sponsoring.

If winning the E365 Championship is your goal, focus on building a great team before the first year in SFI expires. Not only will it bring you a lot of matching VP,and commissions, but also a lot of ACTION VP. And as sales VP is 'erased' after the first six months, you need to focus on earning action vp, and team building and keeping!

Is it a good idea to reassign your PSAs to someone in their own country?

President Gery says that reassigning is generally a good idea, because it helps you build your team, and motivates your PSAs who get a new member in their team.

This is what I ask myself before reassigning my PSAs:

- Are they happy with me as a Sponsor? Would they like to be reassigned? (I know I don't want my Sponsor to reassign me)

- Are they doing well in SFI? If not, is the language/cultural barrier the reason? (If it is, they might really benefit from being reassigned

Hello!

There are no rules in SFI about how often you should contact your sponsor, because there are no two people (Sponsors and Co-Sponsors, or PSAs and CSAs) alike!

You can, and you should contact them as often as you have a question or a problem you need help with. Of course, there are a lot of questions answered in SFI, but it's difficult to know where to find them when you are new, and your upline can help. When they help you or praise you, you can thank them. (although

When I am fully self-employed with SFI, and someone asks what I do for a living, what do I tell them?

I am not fully self-employed with SFI, but here is what I see myself say:

'I'm an online marketeer with Strong Future International Marketing Group'

Too many people are ashamed to say they sell things to people for a living. I don't know why - there is nothing shameful in selling things to people who need it, and helping shops find customers worldwide.

If you prefer, you can stress your role of a Team Leader, saying your job is to train other Marketeers. Or, if most

SFI is, in some aspects, the same as any other business. Just think of what would make you a good employee in any company. Plus what would make you a good student, because, as a new affiliate, you need to learn about the program.

To my mind, this is what you need to do:

- WORK HARD. Being a good learner and being action oriented is vital.

- THINK. Think about what can be done, and how. Think about things you have already done. Has it worked well for you? Should something

Hello!

I'm sure there are some young adults who would see what a great program SFI is. However, I know myself and I am sure I wouldn't have recognized it as such when I was 18. And although times might have changed, some things are still the same.

For one, most of them are still a bit immature. And rather impatient. The idea of earning for the future is, for them,... well, almost as far away as retirement. Outside SFI, I am a teacher and I teach a lot of 18 and 19-year-olds,

Dear Ron,

Many affiliates have already pointed out that SEO is the way to go. So, I would just like to mention something else.

Personally, I know nothing about web designing, nor about making my blog more Google-friendly. But I still advertize my blog via social networks and in ads posted on bulletin boards in town. My friends share it and it is a slow process, I admit, but the word of mouth is enough for me at the moment. You see, I still have my full-time job and I don't have

A complete stranger sees your WAVE3 banner on your car. They ask what TripleClicks is. What do you say?

If a stranger asks about the banner, it means they are interested in new things. Buying online is still new for most people in my country, so I start with asking them if they buy online.

If they do, I tell them 3 sentences - 1 about how great TripleClicks is, 1 about what Wave3 is and in the last one, I give them a Gift card or two to try it or a Wave3 card, depending on how I likely I think they are to like TC.

If they don't, I tell them about my first online shopping experience
