Congratulations! You have taken the first step towards making it: You have recognized that what you have attempted so far, has not worked.

Now take the second step: realize you cannot keep doing what have done so far and that you need to change both WHAT you are doing and the WAY you are doing it.

Third, ask those in your up-line, at the Forum, F2F and other senior Team Leaders, preferably from your country or geographic location, WHAT they have done to become successful recruiters

1) Have a definite plan. For example; decide you will invest only the money you make from SFI, back into SFI. (This is only possible with this business)

2) Collect all the VP from daily, weekly, monthly and one time actions. In the first two months you can easily get to EA & EA2 status without buying or investing in anything.

3) Promote SFI & TripleClicks through your gateway on your facebook page, twitter, LinkedIn etc and any other free advertising sites you can find.

Every one of us have a 'circle of influence'(family, close friends etc)

Get new PSA started off by talking to 'their circle of influence' about the 'new business' they have begun.

Beyond the fact that it is 100% free, I have found over my 10 months at SFI, those who signed up from my circle of influence are the most active, loyal and long standing PSAs I have. They have helped me get to BTL and stay there and some of them have got to BTL themselves.

Here's what I would do:

FIRST - Define what 'YOU' mean by 'SUCCESSFUL' - What do you want to see accomplished by your marketing campaign;
new AFF sign ups? - if so how many? from what parts of the world?
new ECA referrals? - if so how many? from where?
my present team do more & move up the leadership ladder? - quantify, numbers & levels

SECOND - Look at these three areas to make your plan:
1) What are SFI's marketing tools and strengths?
2)

How can we reassure our downline to continue their activity with SFI after the recent cyber-attack?

The best reassurance to your downline is, as it has always been, your own actions.

You should address this matter ONLY if any of them seek your advice on it.

The reason I say this is that Gery Carson and SFI management have done one of the best jobs I've seen in managing and getting stronger through a cyber-attack. Their commitment, clarity, transparency and speed of response has been nothing short of phenomenal.

SFI's response in itself has already provided every

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

Tell them this:

"I'm so glad you asked, because it is one of the best things that has happened in my life.

Like most people you see, I too was trapped in a regular job, until I heard of SFI.
Have you heard of it?

It's one of the most fascinating business models I've ever seen. What's great about it is that you can work from the comfort of your own home and build an international business for yourself because it is Internet based and markets over 110,000

There are three things you need to be the best SFI Affiliate or for that matter to be THE BEST at anything: PASSION, PERSISTENCE, PERSEVERANCE.

PASSION: Carry it in your heart, not just your head. Do everything within your power to 'know' all you can, 'do' all you can . . . and then more. And do it as 'soon' as you can. Give it your all, always. Make it Your Dream that keeps you from sleeping.

PERSISTENCE: Keep at it continuously. Do not slack or ease up. Do not let anything

I have experience with in-person presentations, direct mail, trade shows, handing out biz cards, network at events, etc. Can offline marketing be as effective for my SFI business as online marketing?

Sure. Offline marketing can be as effective as online marketing for SFI. Just keep in mind these few things.

1) SFI is an online business - so offline marketing should be used to supplement and enhance your online marketing efforts.

2) Offline marketing will be more effective in terms of conversions & sign-ups, but online marketing will be more efficient in terms of cost per contact & will deliver a far wider reach too (global).

3) Always work with your strengths

When you don't have to ask this question anymore!

When you are successful at SFI believe me, you will know it.

You will know it from the money you make each month, from the number of Team Leaders you have on your team and in your down-line, from the number of badges on your HomePage and above all . . .

. . . from the warm, glowing feeling of well being and success you feel within you.

Keep keeping on and you will get there for sure.
