The reassignment tool is your greatest asset to produce duplication through 7 generations. The reason is simple - you have trained these individuals to be the best of the best and they have followed your suggestions to create synergy in your organization. So as active recruiters they will grow your genealogy no matter what level they are on. Being an active recruiter your self you will have many top gun affiliates. Make your selection by the numbers. Pick the top 5, 10, 20 or whatever your goal

The best way to utilize social media sites to recruit affiliates and promote TripleClicks is to differentiate your message. Many social platforms are purely social. People don't go there to buy anything. Although Facebook has a public stream for everything under the sun, they also have business tools that you can use. On Facebook, and some other social sites you can set your permission and create a professional looking profile that will work quite well to refer TripleClick members. Take it one

This is a delightful position to be in! Thanks for asking. When you sponsor an affiliate, the first you want to do is introduce yourself and let them know that you are glad to assist in any way that you can. It is critical that you make a good first impression with them in the first 24 to 48 hours. SFIChat is okay and if you can engage your new affiliate this way great! I like email because I can answer multiple messages at the same time and I always answer my emails. You don't need to go into

The best way to get ECAs is to target small shops near you first. Go and visit the shop. Become familiar with their offerings. If you are enthusiastic about their products as to speak with the manager and tell him/her about the ECA program. Let them decide if they want to participate. Just remember to grow your ECA members you can let your fingers do the walking - then all you have to do is reach out and touch the right merchant with your message. They are just a phone call or fax away. Create

Here's a good example:

Congratulations on your decision to join SFI! It's obvious to me that you want the best that life has to offer and you have taken a step in the right direction! Congratulations again - you've made the right decision.

Now, I want you to know that I will help you to achieve success beyond your wildest expectations but there is something that you must do. For the next 30 days promise yourself that you will set aside 3 hours per day to work on your SFI

Remember, if you have a PRM you must have someway of communicating with them outside of SFI. Currently there is no way to communicate with PRMs with SFI tools. This is corporate policy to protect SFI and PRMs. So the absolute best way to motivate anyone to take action is to give them the facts upfront. When you place ads for TripleClicks avoid ads like Get Free Stuff For Free! This sends a message that the people will never have to purchase anything! Instead, use ads that say Join the Wave

When should we give up on CSAs who don't respond to our messages or do anything?

When should you give up on CSAs depends on you. If you have not done what you need to do then why should you expect them to work when you haven't. However, if you have then realize that there is always planting season, then the growing season, then the harvest. Too many of us are looking for a harvest when we have not allowed adequate time for growth.

I was inactive for 3 years! I do not say this proudly but sometimes life does get in the way. Everyone has ups and downs. Think

Here's a good example:

Greetings!

It's great to here from you! I know how you may feel about SFI. There is a lot to learn. You don't know where to start. So I'll be brief and simple.

SFI is a 13 year old company that sell products all over the world through their TripleClicks domain. The bottom line is that as affiliates we should promote TC merchandise and generate sells. When we do, we earn a commission.

SFI is also a network marketing company

As far as success stories, my story is not yet finished! After 3 years in SFI, I learned to do ppc (still learning and plan to become a certified specialist) and started using an autoresponder and safelist to grow my sales team. What I didn't accomplish in the first 3 years in the last 2 years, I have started to earn commissions that pay for my standing order. :) and allows me to give gift certificates to my movers. Although I am ranked No.1 in my class and about 52 in the world, I don't consider

What is the best way to promote your TConnect page?

The best way to promote your T-connect page is to promote through your team mails. The essence of your T-connect is that you want people in your genealogy to connect with you so that you can promote business resources to them. Moreover you can recommend products that you have used from the TC marketplace and they have prior knowledge of the products and services you mention as Triple Click members. You can still promote your T-connect to others outside of SFI but you want to connect with those
