Recruiting affiliates face to face and one on one should only form a small part of your sponsoring campaign.

For a start, depending on your personality, you need to be the type of person who is comfortable with talking business face to face, has the charisma of a successful car salesman, and can take No for an answer with grace and dignity.

There are books and self-help e-books you can read and get inspirations from, articles in SFI training tools and manuals, tips and hints from internet gurus which can help you develop personally and gain confidence with the knowledge.

However, there are more effective ways of sponsoring/recruiting affiliates by buying a share in the S-Builder Co-op, or from some good ECAs, PSAs To Go, etc. without the need of going through the trauma of a face to face rejection.

The Affiliate Center can be overwhelming for some people and to get your new PSAs up to speed will do just that- overwhelm them.

It will be a huge challenge to get new PSAs to speed up with SFI. There are many factors that will affect each PSA’s understanding of SFI and how it works. So take it baby step by baby step.

At the beginning, a friendly advice to just click the blue "SFI BASICS" button on their homepage will be helpful. Being new, your PSAs will be feeling lost and simply would not understand what the new terminologies meant, like TC, SFI, VP, MRP, for example.

Advise them to review the four actions in SFI BASICS and focus on them only. All that stuff that seems overwhelming and overpowering is really just aids, tools and resources to help with the actions described in SFI BASICS.

Give them a simplified version of the Getting Started. Explain that logging in daily and doing the daily tasks is all that matters at the beginning while they are new and finding their way around SFI.

Be there for them when they ask question and respond promptly and simply.

You want to them speed up their understanding and knowledge, so that they have full comprehension of what it takes to build a successful and profitable SFI business and not to speed up their rank when they are not ready to face the challenges of a higher rank.

Be patient and be the best awesome sponsor you want them to become as they learn and understand the business and soon fast learners will just get up and go!

I am a firm believer in the KISS principle of doing things, the simpler and straight to the point the training is, the better for new PSAs and CSAs to have a full comprehension of how SFI works. We need not complicate things for them.

So the best way is to start from the time you send a Welcome E-card.

A request to confirm their registration, complete their affiliate profile and whitelist [email protected] will put them in a good starting mood.

I would also add:
. To click the START and watch the short video by Gery Carson for a quick overview of the Homepage.
. SFI BASICS, to read the 4 things they need to know to succeed in SFI- this their guide.
. The LAUNCHPAD. It has 30 lessons to be read, reviewed, and studied fully and referred to as one goes about doing the daily tasks.

To address the unspoken question about how to earn money quickly, point out Day 1- Central to Your Success, and Day 11- Overnight Success- NOT.

When a commitment message is received, or as soon as they have contacted you that they are ready to proceed, send a follow-up E-mail. Check their country of origin, their language, so that you can point out the TRANSLATE option available at their Homepage.

It should contain a bit more tutoring, explanation and guidance, especially how to learn more and earn their daily VPs by performing the Daily To-Do tasks.

Tell them about the Fast-Track, how they can enjoy the long lasting benefits of becoming a Fast-Track Member on their first 10 days in SFI.

Advise them not to skip any items on their Daily To-Do, especially rating 10 answers in Ask SC to add to their training and growing knowledge of SFI.

The Monthly and Weekly Actions should also be explained and how doing these tasks will add more to their training as well as earning VPs.

They will also need some instructions on how to bid at auctions, play EZ games and enter contests for chances to win great prizes and enjoy the fun and excitement of winning.

On their second week, when they are comfortable with the procedure encourage them to explore their Homepage and TripleClicks, and get to know ECAs and their products.

Invite them to participate in the Forum and Sub-Forum, where they can meet and greet others to learn from and to share experiences with and enjoy the feeling of belonging in a large family of SFI Affiliates.

To learn more about using the Training Tools and to read articles on Internet Income and how to apply what they learned will help your new PSAs and CSAs gain more confidence in marketing and sponsoring.

Teaching them the basic fundamentals of building a home-based business on the internet like SFI from the word go, new PSAs and CSAs will have a fighting chance of staying and progressing and eventually succeeding in SFI.

Teach them to follow The Plan (www.sfimg.com/the_plan) and that success has rules. SFI RULES OF SUCCESS provides the best training and guidance one must follow to ensure success.

Acquiring and applying valuable knowledge, experience and know-how to share with your own team is the best training you can give to your PSAs and CSAs. Good Luck!

Limitations and roadblocks are the negative thoughts we put in our minds.

It’s been said that while the path of LEAST resistance is rarely the right one, the path of LESS resistance might be just the shortcut to success we need.

If our limitations has to do with finances, for example, this kind of limitation will instantly become a negative thought and a roadblock as big as a mountain that will eventually limit our ability to think of ways to find a solution.

SFI has given us many ways to solve or conquer whatever personal limitations and roadblocks we all face in becoming successful in SFI.

It has given us free entry to a worldwide marketing platform, with all resources , tools and training provided free, for personal development and growth and to enhance knowledge and skill.

SFI has provided websites to use at no additional cost. We have our own Homepage and Leadership Page as we became team leaders, to write blogs on if we are technically challenged. For me, this has solved my personal limitations and put away the roadblocks that threaten to destroy my dreams.

SFI does not require any compulsory spending if one is ready to put in extra time, effort, commitment and hard work, be patient and willing to go the extra mile, to keep on and not give up.

One has only to promote the many thousands of goods and services in our TripleClicks store and those from ECAs to earn commission and residual income by referring good PRMs and loyal customers.

SFI encourages personal discipline to help us develop good work habits and ethics. to learn how to prioritise and organise our days better and smarter.

SFI has added more ways to earn daily VP with the addition of ECA tab, EZ tab, PB tab and the FORUM tab.

And to ensure we are reading the SFI Newsletters, SFI has introduced Spin & Win. This is a really clever way of making sure we take the time to read what SFI wants us to know.

SFI acknowledges and recognizes with Badges and honours Affiliates who have overcome those limitations and roadblocks by becoming awesome sponsors who are able to build an awesome team and succeed despite the odds.

I don't know the answer to your question, so may I quote Section 39 of the SFI Affiliate Agreement:

"39. Transferability of SFI Affiliateship: In the event of an Affiliate's death, SFI will keep sending commissions in the method that's been selected on the affiliate's account. For example, if the affiliate had chosen to have his or her commission mailed by check, the affiliate's surviving spouse or other representative must ensure they have the legal right to cash a check made out to the name on the SFI account. However, surviving spouses and representatives can also log onto the affiliate's account and make the necessary adjustments to the account name and information. IMPORTANT: surviving spouses and representatives must have account login information. SFI will not provide that information. Note that, other than this particular exception, logging into any SFI account other than your own is strictly prohibited."

As you're only retiring from your business and not dying, perhaps you can ask SFI if you can legally transfer your business to your beneficiaries.

One needs to be creative and have a sense of fun to make SFI more exciting for our team.

To keep your team engaged, give them something to aim for.

Try having a Team Contest where you reward Gift Certificates, a share in your personal co-op, or Reassignments to the winner/s.

For example, $10 Gift Certificates for First Sale, First Recruit or First Personal Sign-Up, etc.
$20 Gift Certificate for First Time EA, EA2, or First time BTL, STL, etc.

Get them to join your UBER League team if you have started one, and challenge them to win.

With each milestone, send appropriate E-Cards and share the exciting news with others through your Stream Post, Weekly messages, and on your Leadership Page blog.

Use the power of recognition and the positive power of praising people.

Early Birds- this is my special way of getting my team, especially the very hardworking and very active ones get to lead every month by requalifying on the first week of the month. This started as a trial with Gift Certificates as incentive, but to my surprise my awesome team don’t even need it! Most would requalify on the first day of the month, and so would I! Now I have an unofficial Early Birds Club!

There are many other creative ways to make SFI more exciting and fun for your team , stretch your imagination even further…Sky’s the limit!

The most important thing about this is showing how much you care and value your team by going the extra mile to get them engaged and excited about being in your team.

You have been given some very good advice to having an open house get-together to present the SFI opportunity. Some are very impressive with the effort and thought put into writing their answers.

May I add that the days of in-home, or open-house, presentations are over, if not done with, with regards to SFI business opportunity?

For local affiliates, this may still work, but is it duplicatable? Affiliates from other parts of the world are struggling with the basic necessities of life, let alone having a place of their own suitable enough to have an open-house get together.

SFI has a great and simple marketing plan.It has provided us with the SFI Basics and the tools and aids in the Marketing Center which should help in building our business without the need of personally hosting a business presentation.

Once an affiliate understands how SFI works and what it takes to build a team, have achieved the rank of Executive Affiliate, he now feels ready to move up and should go for the rank of Team Leader even without a team.

As a Team Leader, he should now begin to actively sponsor people, going for higher rank, start team building and being a leader by starting from the 2 CSAs he receive upon becoming EA2. He may also receive support from his sponsor through reassignments.

It may take time to find workers, so at this stage, the person should now start to invest in his business. Paid ads cost money, but if money is not a problem he can advertise, or buy a share from S-Builder co-op, or purchase some PSA packages from PSAs To Go, or from any good ECAs. Prospecting friends, relatives, work colleagues, and other acquaintances
would also help in quick team building, even if only one or two join up.

The Marketing Center is full of marketing/sponsoring tools and aids to help beginners to go out and meet and seek like-minded people to become PSAs and PRMs.

He can also participate in Pricebenders auction and bid for PSA/CSA Packages. PSAs can be earned while bidding, as well as earning the valuable VPs and MRPs. CSAs can be won at Daily Grand Drawing, from playing Eager Zebra games, etc.

So if the person is ready to become a Team Leader, lack of a team should not be a reason for not moving up.
