Good question Nima!
To gain the trust of your affiliates is very important and the only way you to build a good team.
1) As soon as a new affiliate joins the team, it's important to send a welcome e-mail or team-mail.
2) Include your e-mail address, ask them to let you know they've received the message, and they're welcome to contact you with any questions they may have.
3) Serious workers will respond and most do ask questions.
4) Answer any messages from your affiliates

Hi Augustine,

I send Group Mailings weekly to my complete team, so no one is left out IF they read the mailing. I explain my contest or co-op at the end of every mailing I send.

It's not only important to communicate with all your team, but it may change an old affiliate's mind and come back to work at SFI. This could be because their situation has changed. They miss SFI or they want to be included in the contest or Co-op. I have had a few that had started, left, and then

Hi Alvin

You can never guarantee what people will do after they join.
It's important to read and learn the Training information to help you make your team stronger.

Your job as a team leader is to give information about SFI as:
1) SFI is a real working internet business. Not a "get rich quick scheme"
2) Give prospective PSA an opportunity to become a business owner.
3) There is no investment to join.
4) Every affiliates is given, for free:

Hi Mamunur,

This is a very good question.

Let's imagine you're an owner of a traditional business.

You will need:

1) Technical know-how to run the business and/or schooling to learn how.

2) A lot of capital for schooling, for inventory and advertising (marketing) and to keep the business going for approx. 5-7 years. This is the predicted time for the business to become a successful.

3) The responsibility of owning a brick &

I'm an ECA. Will getting a TCurrency License help to increase my sales?

Hi Randy,

Getting a TCurrency Licence really depends on how easy it is for your team or for other affiliates from your country to receive T-Connect. If you find that it's hard to get TCurrency then this may be a good decision for you.

When you sell TCurrency as a licensed TCurrency provider, you will be able to sell for the face value of the TCurrency plus up to 15%. For example: You purchase $50 in TCurrency from an ECA whose rate is 4%, your cost for $50 in TCurrency would

My upline was there with a greeting when I joined and have help with any questions I've had. They have sent me to websites that had information for learning from how to cut and paste, how to recruit new affiliates, and how to advertise. This has been very valuable to me. It's nice to have them there to help. I am trying to follow this with my affiliates.

Hi Jim.

SFI recommends that you use your Movers and/or your Genealogy, to identify your five best, most active PSAs. You are going to want to help each of these five become a Team Leader. If you don't yet have five PSAs that are working, start with the ones you do have. You can add active PSAs as you receive them. Make sure that you equally
reassign affiliates to your working PSAs.

Don't worry about reassigning affiliates, because you can earn Matching VPs on every

Hi Georgina,

You benefit not only when your PSAs are working, but when PSAs, CSAs and PRMs are buying.

SFI is just like any business your work for, you work daily and at the end of the week or month, you receive a paycheck. Your boss will receive a bigger paycheck. The owner and stock holders receives much more. Your goal in SFI is to become the owner of your business and make the most.

When SFI affiliates read and educate themselves on how to be an expert, it

Hi Wendy-Ann,

Here are some ways to maintain your SFI position while on vacation.

1) Place yourself on vacation to preserve your VP streak. You can do this by going to: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/#vacation

2) Try to log in as much as you can, so you will be able to keep up with some of your daily actions. There are many places to use your computer. I was able to work even on a cruise ship. Of course, I had to pay to use the internet.

3) Ask your

Melvin,

In my welcome letter, I make sure that the new affiliates know they need to show up to work everyday. That this is not an internet scam, but a real job.
To be on the fast track, they must above the green line right away, so they will be eligible to you receive the ways to get the perks that will be available to them.
I send the following information to all the new affiliates a few days after the welcome letter,so they know what to do.
