There is more to being a successful ECA than just adding posts to the TConnect page so I thought I would share this with you all.

One of the main obstacles to selling products online is to have customers visiting your website and buying your products. As an E-Commerce Associate on Tripleclicks this problem is solved for you. This is accomplished in several ways.

As an ECA you have online marketers already waiting to promote your products. You NEED to connect with them. If you

This is what I tell potential ECAs

Have you been:

Searching for a way to start selling your products online or increase your current online sales?
Receiving quotes to build an eCommerce website and finding it is out of your price range?
Getting bombarded with technical jargon about managing your eCommerce site?
Managing a website that just does not get the customers to make it all worth your time?
Competing with others and losing your

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

Greetings Irena and fellow SFI Affiliates

You can point out that ALL successful businesses invest in their own businesses. Without self investment no business can survive. Major companies such as Apple, Samsung, Coca Cola and MacDonalds all invest in their own businesses because they understand this fact.

The common misconception here is that affiliates are investing in the SFI or Tripleclicks business and not that they are investing in their own success.

Support and teach your team. Do not expect them to leave a rating or a comment if you are not giving your full support and communicating with your team members.

Reward their efforts and give credit and recognition where it is due. Be friendly and treat them with the respect they deserve, not as your downline, but as REAL people.

DON'T ever ask them to leave you a particular rating or comment. DON'T even remind them to do it. If they are workers they will do it as a part of their

Greetings Justin and fellow SFI affiliates

Being active with Tripleclicks (TC) is an essential part of being an SFI affiliate. If your team members are not involved with TC how can they possibly understand the SFI system and teach their own team members to duplicate their actions?

All commission income generated from SFI is generated through purchases of made through TC. If no one is active in TC as a customer or a seller there is no income for anyone. For that matter there

Greetings Dah and my fellow SFI associates,

THE DO'S

- As a team leader your support should be defined to DIRECTING your PSAs to actions that will bring success. To do this YOU need to understand the SFI business yourself. Learn ALL you can to be a great leader.

- For new affiliates SFI already have a mailing system set up to help your new affiliate to get started. Your best action at the beginning is to simply introduce yourself and let your new affiliate know that

I think the TripleClicks TCards are a great marketing tool. To whom would you give the cards to and why?

You can give them to anyone BUT if you give them to local businesses you may find you have opened the door to sponsor a new ECA or affiliate while you are presenting the gift card. A great ice-breaker even for those who are a bit shy when approaching potential business partners.

Never be afraid to give them to the most successful people you know. Successful people already know how to be successful. By them becoming a Tripleclicks customer you would have a chance of them also becoming one

It is MINDSET. They need to have the 'WORK FOR OTHERS TO ACHIEVE MY OWN SUCCESS' mentality. Unfortunately there are few people who are educated in this way. They are taught 'LOOK AFTER NUMBER ONE' meaning 'look after myself before others'.

Without this mindset most people are not going to continue with SFI or any other business and be successful. You will see them flip from one business opportunity to the next and never make headway with any of them simply because they are 'SELF-FULL'.

How do we get the most from the MRP (Member Reward Points) we earn?

Hello David and SFI Friends

I believe Member Reward Points are very under-valued and over-looked as a reward for being active with SFI and Tripleclicks.

Firstly, you can use your MRP to purchase items from the MRP Store at Tripleclicks:
https://www.tripleclicks.com/member_rewards.php

or

you can use your MRP to purchase any other item available on Tripleclicks, including TCredits (5 x MRP for 1 TCredit).

Personally, over the last 12 months

Greetings Shekhar and fellow SFI Affiliates

Neither of these will generate the quickest income. Others will argue with this because they will have had their own experiences and that is good. I will be interested to see the answers to this question to see how they differ from my opinion and my knowledge will expand.

The reason that I say neither is because the results will depend on the individual affiliate and their contacts.

If you are well connected with people
