Hi Oprea,

I use the new e-cards regularly, because I believe they're professional looking and will be read.
I use welcome e-cards for new affiliates.
Using these help get the new affiliate's attention. I believe, they will read a colorful, professional e-card over an e-mail or plain mailings.
Then, I send a follow up e-mail to each new affiliate explaining SFI and how to begin working on the website.
I believe if they read the e-card, they are more likely to read the follow up e-mails and mailings that I send. Helping to get more new signups to stay and work.
I also congratulate affiliates and a2a friends on their accomplishments with an e-card.
These e-cards are such an improvement over just sending mailings and e-mails.
I congratulate the staff for this improvement.
Hope you decide to use them too.

Hi Leslie,

Your question is interesting and causes much frustration for many leaders. The fact is, so many people join SFI, but never work. This causes you to have a lot of inactive affiliates in your downline. Don't worry about whether they're active or inactive, just keep in contact with them ALL by sending group mailings. You never know when someone that's inactive will come back and start working. That person could become your star affiliate.

If you keep giving helpful tips and information in group mailings, the affiliates that do work will contact you. I also praise the affiliates the make the Movers tab. These are the ones that want to become successful. Please answer their e-mail as soon as you can. This is very important, so they know you will be there to help. If you miss the mailing right away or don't know the answer, contact them right away and let them know you'll get back with them as soon as you can with the answer.

I've learned that it's best to welcome new affiliates and co-affiliates individually. This lets them know that you're interested in them personally. Ask questions as "Have you worked on the internet before?" I send a follow up letter after the welcome letter also, letting them know how to start working on the website.


Always keep in mind that the Basics of SFI: https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics is the foundation of how to work and become a success.

May you go far in your business.

Jennie,

If you are a Wave3 member, you can always order new W3 business cards from TripleClicks.
The cost $1.00 for 100 business cards. You just add your ID#.
If you're not a Wave3 member, I suggest that you check into becoming a member.

Have you checked out the X-cards for SFI or TripleClicks? Either ones are $4.15 for 50 cards. Again you just need to add your ID#

If you still prefer to make or order new business cards, you must first decide what you're promoting and what gateway you will be using into the website.
Now, you will have to decide what you are putting on the card to draw people to read it.
Example, "Put a whole new world of customers at your fingertips at no risk to you."
Then, you will need your name, e-mail address, phone number (optional), website with you ID# or your prestige domain.

I hope this has helps.

Hi Estrado,

Why do you have to wait for someone to ask you what you do when you become a full time affiliate?
I'm always telling people that I own my own business on the internet and I can work from home or anywhere I can take my computer.
I tell them the website is called SFI and has been around since 1998.
It's paid out millions of dollars in commissions to over 38,000 affiliates in more than 200 countries.
I then tell them that I actually own two website businesses. The other is called TripelClicks and is a division of SFI.
I then ask, "You know E-Bay, right? Well, TripleClicks is something like that only much better. It's used by people in over 200 countries and you can buy, sell and bid for items. This state-of-the-art internet store features over 114,000 products from people all over the world."
After telling the individual or a company representative the above information. I ask if they are interested in seeing my websites? If they are and have a computer (or use my own) we go into the websites and I explain what I do and how they work. I then sign them up as an affiliate or TripleClicks ECA store.
Now, if they say they're too busy right now, I say, "That's fine, I'm kind of short of time now too. How about we get together next week? I have Tuesday morning or Thursday afternoon. Which would be best for you?" Then set up an appointment. Take your computer and other information I have available. Show them the websites and set them up as an affiliate and/or a TripleClicks ECA.
I hope this helps you start telling people about your business now, so you will be able to make it a full time business.

Hi Rania

I don't know if either is better, it is really up to you how you contact you new PSAs.
If you use the Mailer, I do suggest that you use the ~FIRSTNAME~ which will put their individual name on the mailing they receive.

Personally, I contact my PSAs individually by E-Card to welcome them to my team.
Then, I follow up the next day with information on how to work their business using their email address.
This lets them know I really want to help them work their business.
It also lets me know if I have a correct email address for each new affiliate.
If they have not posted their correct email address, they probably will not be back to work on SFI.

Many people are surfing for a "Get Rich Quick" website, so they come and go.
We each are looking for PSAs that will really work at their SFI business by doing and
learning the SFI website. This is why the first month is so easy.
It lets your new PSAs learn what to do and to study the Start, SFI Basics, and the Launchpad.

We are all given the same chance, the tools, and training for free.
It's up to us if we become profitable or not.

I have found the best way to become an expert is by learning something new everyday from the "Training". You can find all your Training on the black tab or go to: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/

I hope this is helpful.
May you be Blessed with Success.

Hi Emmanuel

To explain in a simple way why people should become an affiliate in SFI is easy. Just memorize the SFI Basics.
There are only 4 steps. Make sure to tell them to enter the Win It contest to be able to win prizes.
Then suggest they try doing this for 30 - 60 days as it's free to join. Keep in contact with them and answer any questions they may have. They'll let you know what they think.

If you can used their computer or carry yours, you can show them the website and the compensation plan and have them sign up right then.

If they don't want to decide right away or say they are too busy to talk to you, make a date for another time. I suggest you give them a choice of a couple of dates and times. Don't let them tell you the date or time as this shows you are busy and need to have a time that's best for both of you.

I hope this helps you on being a success in your business.

Hi Stein,
There are so many places to post flyers.
1) Coffee Shops
2) Garage Sales
3) Flee Markets
4) Yard Sales
5) Malls (if they have a rack or bulletin board)
6) Grocery Stores
7) Restaurants
8) Gas Stations
9) Fairs
10) Resale Shops
11) Welcome Centers
12) Gift Shops
13) Work Place (If your friends, relatives will post it)
14) Special Events (Ask to place an ad in their Bulletins)
15) Stores
16) Schools

Most of these places will require that you get permission before post or leave your flyers. Since word of mouth is the best advertisement, this is another way to recruit a new ECA or Affiliate.

While asking to do leave the flyers, you can explain what they are about and the benefits of TripleClicks and/or SFI. Giving the person a TripleClicks Gift Card is also a good incentive for them to hand out your flyers and going into TripleClicks to see what it is.

May you be successful in your business.

Hi Lotfy,

If your new affiliate saying they must earn now, it's important the explain that he/she is now the proud owner of a new business. Any new business takes time to make money.

One of the most powerful features of SFI is it's completely free to become an SFI affiliate, and there's NEVER a requirement to purchase anything. Did you know that if you qualify for EA2 or higher each month, you are given $220.00 worth of products? Some of these are co-affiliates,T-credits, etc. You can check this out on the Benefits Chart at: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart

Compared to buying a franchise. even a lesser-known franchise, can require an investment of tens of thousands of dollars! That's just to get started. On top of that, you'd have rent, labor, product costs, utilities and much more. That's not including the time to make it profitable! On average it takes 5 to 7 years.
With SFI, you can literally "start on a shoestring." Yet, SFI's income potential is just as great if not greater than most franchises. Everything is here at SFI for you to become a success.

When we first opened our restaurant, my husband and I had to worked two jobs for 10 years before the restaurant started to make money. We spent almost a million dollars to make our restaurant a success. (Just finished paying off loans!)
We are Blessed that it IS successful now. We are now called an "Icon" in 3 counties, because we have been around so long! But we've seen so many new businesses come and go, because the owners ran out of money or had no knowledge on how be make their business successful.

Did you know that marketing is just advertising your business? It's true. You must market any business and this is why I formed an advertising agency to market our restaurant.

The good news about working with SFI, is you joined for free, are able to receive a free marketing/advertising education,(worth at least $500.00) with dozens of free, almost-free, and inexpensive marketing techniques that you can use to get started with right away.
In other words, with SFI, you can choose to invest money Or YOU CAN INVEST TIME to build your business, making SFI one of THE most affordable and practical businesses in the world.

You will NOT find that "get rich quick marketing company". All those e-mail are there to get what money you have and go to the next person. I know, I've checked them out too. I'm so glad to finally find SFI. This is why you need to advertise SFI to all the people you know and on all the websites you can find.

To be a success it's important to log in and do your daily tasks. If you are logging in everyday you can become a E365 Champion. Many people lose out on some good items. You can check it out at: https://www.sfimg.com/E365?tab=info_and_rules

Logging in daily is how you get your VP's to re-qualify each month. Yes, you have to
re-qualify each month to get paid again, just as you have to go back to work at a regular job each week to get paid.

It's important to read and answer questions on the Forum and Ask SC. Read the Alerts Latest News each day, you can get an extra Daily Grand Entry Award. SFI NEWS has been redesigned also. You can find it at: new.sfimg.com when you are looking for something.
This Alert is important for more VP's and MRPs make sure to check it out at: http://news.sfimg.com/2014/03/05/new-bonus-action-vp-and-mrp/

I hope this will help your affiliate understand that he/she is now a real business owner of not only one internet business but two! It's time to get to work!
May you and your new affiliate be Blessed in all you do.

Christopher,

If your team live around you, set up a time to meet at your home or a coffeehouse or restaurant for a meeting each week or bi-weekly. This would be a good way for your PSAs to bring in prospective new affiliates and business owners that may want to sell their products on TripleClicks.

Personally, my team resides in many different countries, so this would be impossible.
You could use a Webinar or an E-Mail class to communicate with your team.
To do any of these, you need to do the following steps.

1) I suggest that you e-mail your full team and invitation, whether they are active or inactive.
2) Invite them to the scheduled class with date and time, don't give a choice.
3) Choosing a personal meeting or Webinar, make sure to consider the different time zones.
4) Pick a time that most of your active members will be able to attend..
5) Decide whether the meeting will be a weekly or monthly meeting.
6) Have your affiliates invite their team members and prospective SFI & TripleClick member.
7) Inform what the topic of your lecture will be.
8) Ask for an e-mail conformation of attendance.
9) An incentive for those that attend may help members show up, such as a door prize.t
10) Some examples of a door prize could be T-Credits, Gift Certificate, or W3 Kit.

There was a question asked on how to utilize a Webinar meeting. For more answers on this go to:
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc_question&id=10002269

I personally find a weekly E-mail class is the best. You write about a subject and ask a question at the end. The affiliates open and read their e-mail and then sends you back their answer.
1) Send an e-mail invitation to join your weekly e-mail class.
2) E-mail your class on the same day every week.
3) It's important to recognize the participating affiliates.
4) Ask to receive e-mail addresses for new prospects that may want to join your classes. You should send an invitation to these prospects.
5) Recognize accomplishments and any new affiliates or prospective affiliates or TripleClicks PRM or ECA.
6) Ask what your group are interested in learning.
7) Ask for feedback on your class.
8) Send each person an individual e-mail or E-Card telling them whether they answered your question correctly or what you were looking for if they didn't answer correctly.

I hope this is helpful. May you be successful in all you do.
