At first it might seem a little limited to have it as a lapel pin but it is not necessary to wear it only in a lapel ;)
A scarf might benefit from it too or some other means of displaying it about you.
If you go about your daily activities wearing it then it gives you a conversation starter without feeling you have to approach everyone at any chance you might have.
I tend to wear mine in my shirt as if it was a button when I am taken out so it attracts a glance...many times that is all it takes to strike up a conversation.
In a few months time I will be holding a public meeting with another affiliate from our city and these lapel pins will be on display as proof that we hit the ground running, after all people follow people and look for proof of example.

To our success!

When I talk with people who see the opportunity of SFI and TripleClicks or the real business that it is I try to introduce S-Builder to them as a quick and easy but effective method of recruiting while getting to understand better how to market on the internet.

Not everyone comes to SFI as a natural recruiter nor is it a progression from what they previously experienced so to be able to pay a nominal amount and get a steady flow of recruits to either PSA or PRM does make a difference.

While it is based on advertising that might produce results in a matter of weeks it does pool the strength of budgets to rotate a steady flow into our teams. Some have the ability to recruit so are able to sell signups in their ECA stores but most new affiliates would value the S-Builder route. What really matters is not simply the signing up but the welcome people have when they join because it is not more money for the recruiter necessarily but more the opportunity to make a difference for yet another affiliate and their family. This is a real opportunity and should be celebrated for the difference it is making to people lives. That witness can only come from you and not a sales page. Share this success with your team and they will understand why they would benefit because you are proof they should consider.

To our success!

Hello, Ann. The first time I spoke on stage was to a conference that was later preparing to listen to Bob Allen speak so I was anxious that I might not make a good impression but took encouragement from the organizers and a couple of mentors and for my timed session I had good feedback which is evidenced on my Facebook wall with signatures of the organizers and mentors too.

The point is that in person the impression that can be made is very powerful.

I remember learning that people do not join organizations but they join people they know, like and trust. Be yourself and be that person who is doing well in this opportunity, so well in fact that you just have to let others in on the wonderful opportunity you've found with SFI and TripleClicks.

I suspect you will be much more successful than me in recruiting because while I am shut in at home and rely on automated optin and capture pages to try and convey some of the excitement and benefits of being in SFI and TripleClicks you will at least be enthusing your experiences to people you meet.

To our success!

There are for me two options which might be worthy of my spending $100 extra if I had it. They are: either spending on solo ad recruitment clicks and signups or gift cards.

Spending on solo ads to get enough clicks from a list of buyers that someone else has does present a certain opportunity of getting signups although the rate of return can be variable. Buying gift cards where physical or electronic do at least provide us with the opportunity to talk with people before we pass on the benefit of the gift card. It allows people to see our enthusiasm and hear us rather than try to find a line or two in a sales page copy written with a hope of making an impression for someone to sign up.

For me, I would go with gift cards and meet and talk with as many people as possible so as to maximise the opportunities of recruiting where they are going to sign up as PSA or PRM or ECA. After all, it is stated often that, people join people who they know like and trust.

Learning and earning is how I state the essence of SFI and TripleClicks. As I retired Computing teacher I know that if I did not keep up to date with computer programming then I lacked credibility in delivering lessons to my students. In a rapidly changing world no-one can rest on former achievements.

I found that within a short time of joining SFI I was allocated two CSAs from my own class. While one didn't respond and fell away from SFI the one who responded took up my contact and indeed we are firm friends. We shared our discoveries and trials and grew stronger for it. I never regard myself as being more knowledgeable than any of my team for in my second homed CSAs are more capable Team Leaders. What I can offer is myself and a listening ear being prepared to find out answers if any of my team are having questions they need answering. By learning about their answers I am building up a knowledge bank that will be useful to others so I hunger for learning. I hope my enthusiasm helps my team get excited about SFI too.

Being a leader is to set the pace with your team and supporting them to achieve your success in duplication. Not until your PSAs/CSAs can recruit and teach their PSAs/CSAs to recruit can you be as successful as you would like because that is true duplication.

So how to achieve? Getting two way conversations using whatever medium needed. Be a listening ear and be there when needed so no-one feels alone or lost. Share good news (which we have in abundance) and share hints and tips. Don't keep anything back to yourself for if we don't show the tracks that lead to our success no one can follow us;)
I keep in touch using various social media, training website and yes no matter where they live I phone my team when I can. After all no-one joined a corporation...they joined other people who they came to know, like and trust. Share your trust with them, share your why with them...why your heart beats strong for SFI and TripleClicks and they will follow you and duplicate you in their downline and teach their downline the same.

To our success!

I concentrate my answer to "I help businesses grow their contacts with customers" as for me this is the essence of SFI whether I am building a team of affiliates or ECAs.

It's unique selling point in my own mind is the ability of stores to be assisted in promoting their goods and services by SFI affiliates connecting with them for promotion and marketing.

The implied answer is a number of hours but in practice it depends on us as individuals. My own learning is still ongoing after 8 months as I do go back over the training pages, both launchpad and Basics on occasions as well as the other sources of information as they are all excellent resources to learn about internet marketing.

It is how I am though but I have no doubt that many would be able to spend a short time at the keyboard for say daily tasks and some advertising and some learning. Even saying that quickly it means about 1 to 2 hours as recruiting and sponsoring takes time communicating what has been learned so the team benefits from one's own learning.

In practice as many hours as it takes to get to a point where a routine is in place which is productive in terms of recruiting and advertising. It would be unrealistic to expect money to be throwing itself at you if you only turned up to work for an hour and expected a weeks wages so as we are our own bosses the answer to the question is am I doing enough hours to make this work well for me? If not how can I make adjustments to improve use of time and resources.

It depends what you are comfortable with in terms of teaching what you have learned. I know that's not an explicit answer as circumstances will alter for us all. If recruiting friends and family its easier to hold one to one sessions which work through various questions and topics effectively. scale that up to a webinar and quickly it might overwhelm unless a plan is in place. Also some might not be comfortable holding a skype meeting even with a limited number of screens even.

I use a 500 seat web conferencing facility for various activities so it's a point worth saying about branding being careful to remove any links to non SFI or we might offend where no offense meant or implied as cross solicitation might occur without meaning to.

The basics of getting to EA status doesn't necessarily mean a lot of spending so that is a question worth answering from the get go as some affiliates sign up and almost run away from a cost without realizing their time is costing more to pay for internet cafe or just type for hours at a time...there are not enough hours in the day to do all like a robot!

Help them to understand the value of networking and using the internet to make connections that might well result in new recruits one day if not immediately. Slow and steady is an oft mentioned theme in training yet clarity of pathways is not always visible to a quicker reader so be prepared to verify your audience has properly understood the outcome you intend as often as not a tangential direction might be where they go...

Whatever you do, crucial is that you tell your story as people are attracted to people not programs or schemes. People want to knwo how you are affected by SFI and what is means in your life so they can decide for themselves. We all learn at a pace suitable for us so don't worry if you think you aren't teaching "it" "right". there is no right or wrong. "Good enough is good enough", is what a mentor of mine says which is all about doing something without being too much or a perfectionist about someone else's standards or you'll always fail that. do what you can and it will come across to your team and they will follow;)
