The SFI system is very comprehensive and is more than enough to build a successful SFI business. Every facet in building a successful SFI business is covered in the system. However there are opportunities to fine-tune the system to adapt the business cultures of the respective countries or regions.

The nature of doing business is always evolving. So adding some of your own touches and strategies will come in handy.

Your sponsor would have first noticed you when he received the notification that he has sponsored a new affiliate. He would notice you further when he sends you a welcome letter and provide you some guidelines.

You could then perhaps reply to the welcome letter showing your interest to be active member of his team. He will then guide your further on how to make a start etc.

As you go through and complete the commitment activity, your sponsor will receive an inbox message that

The importance of communication with the team cannot be overemphasized. Communications should be robust and no amount of communication is considered too much or unnecessary. There must be constant communications via the PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, or Genealogy Group Mailer to motivate them, give team members a good start about the SFI business and to clear their doubts. This support through communications should be maintained to make it a cohesive team. To conclude constant communications is the cornerstone

Advising your PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country can be helpful in many ways.

One significant advantage is it saves on shipping cost and lead time. The hassle of paying customs duties can also be avoided. The shipping cost alone can be a hefty sum if the ECA is not local.

Buying from local ECAs can foster personal rapport and makes it easier to buy and sell the ECA’s products.

Buying from ECAs in your own country facilitates transfer buying and helps to obtain

Social media is a great place to obtain leads. However it is not a place to sell. These sites are used to network with people and build relationships. The relationship built can be used to lead your connections to become your affiliates.

Look out for groups belonging to network marketing, home business etc and make friends with the group members. From here you can learn and share your knowledge with these people.

Start your own network marketing group and invite people to join.
