What is the most important goal you've set for your SFI business and why?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
I would have to say the most important goal I have set for my SFI business is growing an active team of PSAs and CSAs. Recruiting as a Top Enroller followed by training them to be successful in the duplication process while growing their own teams.
Why? Because continuing on without an active team of SFI Affiliates is like being adrift at sea with no place to set anchor. Without direction and action one will not go far enough to visit distant shores to share in the spoils of success and adventure.
When I'm living my dream I'll have something worthwhile to share.

Why do so many affiliates become inactive shortly after joining SFI?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
People often procrastinate because they fear the unknown. Without a clear path they will not follow. This is where one must exhibit a talent of communicating vision.
Many years ago my dentist moved me to floss everyday. He spoke in a graphic way to the point I was seeing pictures in my minds eye. This is called vision. If one does not have vision they will not move in the desired direction.
When one visits the SFI Affiliate Center Home Page they will often freeze because they have ventured upon unfamiliar territory. They must be exposed to SFI numerous time before it becomes familiar to them.
Having action without vision you'll just be passing the time away. Nothing of any value will ever get done because the vision to grow and overcome isn't there.
Start giving your team the vision it needs to move on turning their dreams into reality or stay poor.

Is it worthwhile to create individual, personalized welcome letters to new PSAs using information from their Affiliate Profile?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
No! Not in that way. If I did this I would run the risk of making a mistake because I am sending welcome letters to different PSAs and CSAs using a copy and past method. Plus it would be to time consuming to individualize each based on their affiliate profile.
Yes! It is a good idea to create personalized welcome letters and I do that. But the only part I individualize is addressing them by their name. If I have need to send them a message that is individualized based on their affiliate profile I believe it is best done in separate communications - via email, E-Cards and or other SFI channels of communication.

Is it better to build a team within your own spoken language and environment...or go beyond these boundaries ?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
SFI is a Global Business Opportunity. You do not want to place restrictions upon yourself by building solely on your own environment and language.
Powerful programs exist to convert one language to another. If you have a PSA that is a real go-getter from India, for example, you can reassign others of your team from that county to that active PSA.
I also advertise in my area but I will not restrict myself to that alone. Neither should you.
Fear of success is a major problem for many people. How do you get past this with your team members?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
Fear of failure is destructive to success but I have never heard of anyone fearing success. People can procrastinate to no end because they lack vision. Without vision they will freeze because the path before them is not clear. One must overcome what he/she perceives as unfamiliar territory or they will not venture forth for fear of getting lost and making a mistake.
Because everyone is so very different in the way he/she processes information we will need to try to understand each person and reach out in a way that will open their minds to the possibilities that await them if they will but take action.
Vision must be instilled in people so the path before them will appear clear for them to proceed forward. If they're taking those early steps you will need to do whatever it takes to keep their forward momentum going.

Which is better to pursue...CSAs or PSAs?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
Neither one is better to pursue than the other. Many SFI Affiliates would not have remained active in SFI were it not for CSAs. I have several very active CSAs. For November 18 CSAs rated me with most of them giving me 5 stars and 8 of those CSAs left me generous, kind and encouraging comments. I passionately support my team and I cherish their comments. I have only one or two barely active PSAs. It is just the way it is and if it were not for a great team of CSAs I probably would have opted out.
Never under estimate CSAs. For me they were easier to acquire. My working with them has gained me much experience which will benefit me when I have PSAs that want to work.
Why take the view of which would bring you the most profit? You have an opportunity to help someone become successful and if it happens to be one of your CSAs you could be providing that person support they're not getting from their sponsor or anywhere else. We should be helping and serving all SFI affiliates including a2a Friends and in the Forum. This will benefit all of us in a whole host of ways. We need to look at the big picture and not have a narrow view of what is before us.
Together Everyone Achieves More.

How can I win a Pricebenders auction?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
You can win often if you, are patient, persistent, rested and have the time. It will help if the sounds are working and turned on. Be prepared to sit it out for the long haul if need be. Don't play if your tired or sleepy.
Strategy is an important key to winning. With experience it will not matter weather or not you are using the Autobidder. Remain the top bidder as much as possible. Any hesitation or drop offs of players will increase your chances of winning if your on top. You must know when to push ahead full and when to draw back and let your competition run down. Just don't postpone bidding as the clock counts down.
If you can command the Autobidder you will dominate the bidding process. Keep in mind that if more than one Autobidder is engaged TCredits will be used up very fast. Someone will usually deactivate their Autobidder when this happens. If someone is not monitoring at the time this happens they may find out their T-Credits were used up. Only you can decide when to draw back and bid manually until you have another opening to take back the Autobidder.
Manual bidding can work for you in the same way. The key is to dominate by staying top bidder. Every time you are outbid you would respond in kind to remain on top or draw back and let it play out. If your competition are strong players it can be tough to win. You will just have to decide what you will do based upon your particular situation and what is most important to you at the given time.
It would also benefit you to study the Auctions, Winners Section and Winners of Pick the Price. This will help you develop a winning strategy.

How can I get my affiliates to see the benefits of playing games like Knockout Trivia so they will play them?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
Greetings Richard,
Giving your brain a regular workout will bring you many benefits. Playing games that require you to think will increase your brain activity, provide emotional satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, improved memory and ability to process information faster.
As we age it will help slow down mental decline, reduce the risk of dementia, improve concentration and reduce boredom.
In business it can help you develop new patterns of thinking. Because we're creatures of habit our ability to succeed can be inhibited by our pattern of thinking. Developing new ways of thinking will increase the amount of available information, expose alternative viewpoints, and provide creative solutions.
If you find yourself stuck and not making progress it's because your pattern of thinking is holding you back. Your entrepreneurial pursuits will only continue to be inhibited unless you change the way you think.
Change! Become Unstoppable and Keep Aiming ever Higher!

How do I advertise if I want to reach a specific target group?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
If you are advertising for one of the following: PSAs, TripleClicks ECAs, ECA Program, PRMs, Games, Price Benders Penny Auctions, Music or W3 then you would search for advertising sources best suited to fulfilling your request.
The other ways would be to focus on advertising sources that provide the means to target a range of specific categories and groups.
How do we get the most from the MRP (Member Reward Points) we earn?
Affiliate since: 04/08/2016, Power Rank: 99999999
This is very simple. What is most important to you for the growth of your SFI business? Right now I am saving my MRP until I have enough to buy the Apple iPad 2 from the MRP Store. My reasons for this is because; 1. I have never had one 2. It would be a great backup to take care of business if my computer is down for a time. 3. Portability on my property and for Travel.
If you are very active in SFI supporting your ECAs, participating in the Price Benders Penny Auctions, Games and Contests you will accumulate a lot of MRP very quickly. In much less than a year I will have enough for the Apple iPad 2.
Now if I win the Apple iPad 2 before I use my MRP to buy it then I would likely use them to fund the growth of my team and the Co-op's I run. You know that 20,000 to 40,000 MRP will buy many PSAs.
We all have different needs and goal sets so ways of getting the most from your MRP will differ from one individual to the next. Some may have a harder time accumulating MRP or saving them. This cold result in someone setting more short rage goals than long range goals.
You might be more inclined to use them to buy single TCredits to boost yourself in the ranks or for TripleClicks Products for the home. Personally I would go for "The Natural" products from TripleClicks.com.
A well thought out plan can be worth its weight in gold when the goal is reached
