I believe you should go for the rank of Team Leader even if you have no team yet.

Firstly it gives you a booster in building your self confidence.
You will automatically receive CSA's as a result of being a Team Leader,
So you can slowly start learning the responsibilities and you always have
others to help you too, like your Sponsor, Co-Sponsor and further upline.
If all that fails you still have the forum where everyone is very helpful.

There is also plenty of information on how to be a Good Sponsor.
In my opinion the more committed you are the higher you will want to go,
and the higher you want to go the more committed you become.
So why not start as soon as you can keeping yourself motivated and determined
to succeed.
It is quite common to find that you get quite a number of inactive CSA's and PSA's
so you have plenty of time, especially at the beginning to look after your active team
members as you go learning Leadership yourself.

Remember you would like your team to become Team Leaders as soon as possible,
so what better way to show them than by becoming a Team Leader Yourself.

Aim high, stay focused and put in the work to learn....
Follow the teachings of those who have a good active teams...
Above all be honest when you start receiving you down line and gain their trust.
Honest and Positive people are the best teachers...

Hope this helps

I would like my 10 A2A friends, to be people I can easily communicate with and that I find we have mutual respect in helping each other to succeed in our Businesses, and share ideas of what is working for each one of us.
Followers are generally those that I find have useful information to share but in general I don't have a one to one connection like I tend to have with A2A friends.

I personally never actually chose my A2A friends. originally they actually sent me a request which I accepted.
We do have the choice to change our A2A friends, so if I were to find that some would not communicate with me at all, I can always replace them with someone that I have become more connected to.

We also now have the chat facility, so whether A2A or not we can communicate with others too So with time we might find ourselves adjusting our A2A friends if we felt it would be beneficial.

Hope this helps.

In my experience lately, I am finding out that telling, PSA's that SFI is not for everyone, as it takes determination and a real desire to succeed, so if they feel they haven't got that desire then it is perfectly ok for them to leave no problem or shame in that.
As humans we do not like the idea of anyone thinking that we haven't got determination and desire.
But as I haven't said it in a derogative way, they automatically want to prove they are genuinely interested.

Next step is make sure you are there to help them with questions they might have and booster them up for the actions they take no matter how small....They are new and to them any progress is a big thing, so share in their excitement. Remember we have been there too.

I always tell them that the suggestions I make, I have done them myself first, then it is up to them to do the same or not...I will never ask them or suggest to them something that I am not willing to do myself.

Those that I see logging in daily and taking action, I will tell them that I see they are fast learners and very bright.
The more honest praise you give to your team the more their self esteem grows and the more they enjoy SFI.

When they tell me they have 10 or less PSA's but none is active, I explain that I felt the same at the beginning, until I realised that many join SFI for different reasons, curiosity is a main one and the idea that they can make money for doing nothing...
Only those like themselves who are seeing the big picture and enjoying with determination are the ones who make it....but like them and me there are others and slowly we will start seeing those serious ones.

They feel good because you are talking highly of them and still being honest..

Many people love window shopping but not everyone enters the shops and buys. It is the same with SFI. When those customers enter the shops, they might still not buy but if you treat them nicely and make them feel special...without being pushy and allowing them to have a look around they will start feeling more comfortable and visiting your shop more often and one day realise they would like to buy from you...
If we have patience and give people the treatment that makes them as individuals feel good good..the easier it becomes to get them attracted to SFI with enjoyment and no pressure.

Psychology works wonders if we use it in a genuine honest way.

Hope this is of some help

Hi Theodore,

I myself am disabled, I am mainly wheelchair bound and often bed bound among other illnesses.
I can work SFI from my bed, it makes me feel useful and even though some think it is a waste of time, others back me up because I am determined not to let my disabilities get in my way.
I can choose what is the best time for me to log in daily, I am learning a great amount daily which boosters my self confidence.

In actual fact, when a disabled affiliate succeeds in SFI the testimony will be stronger for those who are not disabled.
I want to prove to my family and friends, some who are also disabled, that we often use our disabilities as an excuse that we cannot achieve much in life. But the truth is, if we changed our way of thinking we can achieve much, others have succeeded then so can we.

I want my children to learn there is another way to live than just spending most of the lives working hard and have little time with their families...
So that gives me an extra booster to succeed with this Business.
Everyone has good and bad days whether disabled or not.

I would love to see more disabled people, succeed in SFI, with determination and confidence and believing in themselves.

So by all means, get the disabled involved in SFI it will do them good.

In my opinion, this would be an effort on not just the affiliate's part but also on the ECA's.

If ECA's bring the prices down to a level that is very competitive and in the buyers interest, then it becomes a lot easier to attract buyers.

Attractive and accurate description of products are very important, because at the end of the day it is very often the affiliate who advertises the item that gets the first approval or disapproval of the item from the buyer.

If shipping is free it normally makes the price of the item higher, this can easily be explained to prospective buyers.....like for example asking them, if they can buy it cheaper in other sites how much does it cost them for the shipping?.....You will often find that after adding the shipping cost the prices can change quite an amount .

Shipping often takes quite long, this should be explained to buyers that it is beyond your control and that most free shipping sites anyway does take some time.....it is not something that only happens in TripleClicks.....then if items arrive earlier than buyer expected it is a bonus and you have happier customers.

Buying items yourself and then showing others is another way that I find an advantage.
Often people like to see items before purchasing....so if you can invest in personal purchases it helps you and it could become a future conversation point to attract other buyers.

Especially as the holiday season is so close we need to take into account that people will want their items to arrive in time......so it is up to each affiliate to check shipping times and tell buyers to check shipping times.....

Customer service from ECA's and even affiliates can make a big difference..often people will pay a bit more when they find good customer service, than buy cheaper from an ECA with bad customer service....

Hope this has been of some help.

Never Give Up On Them...
If they haven't opted out, there could be many reasons for them being inactive at the moment.
Keep them in your weekly mailing list and then concentrate on those who who see are taking
more interest.
Sometimes there might just be something in one of your emails that makes them think about
trying out SFI or even re-trying, however the case may be.

I myself joined SFI many years ago and though I remained for a while, even with standing orders, circumstances in my life changed and I stopped.....I was even making profit for a few months after I stopped, but I was in hospital for 7 months and I just gave up... just popped into SFI every so often, but did nothing...but my Sponsor still kept sending me emails every so often.
I learned my lesson, I never had the self confidence and determination to fight against all odds.

Now though I am still ill, my own mentally has changed, of course I have my bad days but don't we all. It took me 3 years to come back to SFI and I am glad I did....a lot in SFI has changed for the better and still changing, I realized this is a company that is standing the test of times..I have come back with renewed energy in wanting to learn more and more.......
So just like me I am sure there are others with similar stories, all because their Sponsor never gave up on them.

Hope this answers your question.

If you know they have money to invest, then you would have to show them ways
to get a good Return on their investments (ROI)

The following are a few.

They could easily open up their own ECA and inform them of how many people could
potentially be advertising their products.

They can afford to place Standing Orders for prospects (PSA's) Personal Sponsored Affiliates
and Standing order with at least 1500(VP's) Versa Points within the time limit, to at least
become an EA2 immediately (Executive Affiliate) and obtain monthly shares from the Executive Pool and all the benefits that comes with it.

They can buy PSA's which would build their team and as they become higher Team Leaders they will also receive CSA's

If they like games and auctions, they can also be enjoying themselves whilst building the Executive Pool which is also beneficial to them.

One of the best ways is to imagine that you, have the money to invest, and study what would you be investing in the most in SFI and TripleClicks?

Then you yourself would find what is most beneficial and could easily explain it to them because you have studied it yourself.

People are more attracted to you when they see you know what you are talking about .
If money is not their immediate worry then they could easily start building a good growing
residual income with minimum effort on their time....

Encouraging words, is something everyone likes to hear.

Examples :

"Well done,"
"You are doing really well."
"So proud to have you in The Team."
"It is people like you that encourage others not to give up."
"I can see you have determination"...

Yes giving T Credits and Gift Certificates also helps
But in my experience building up the affiliate's moral and showing you
genuinely care, will make them feel appreciated.

Congratulating them and showing their names in your Stream when they win prizes,
or attain a higher level.
Recognition in your leadership blogs.
Remind them you are only an email or a chat away, should they need your help.

Think of what makes you feel appreciated and then make sure you do this to your
affiliates...
Very often we might be too busy running our Business and forget that they are the
ones helping us build our Business,
If you treat your affiliates with respect and genuine appreciation you will often get the
same from them in return, it works both ways.
Which is why we should also make an effort to show appreciation to our Sponsors,
A good word to a sponsor can turn them from an inactive sponsor to an active one
because they need appreciation too.

I would tell them that there can only be one winner of E365 out of the whole Class
and that many others would have also wanted to have been the winner too.

They are still winners in their own right, because the fact that they are disappointed must be because they have tried very hard and had the incentive and determination to go for it, that in itself is "The makings of a Winner".
If they have gotten that far to reach so close to becoming an E365 Winner they are on the right track.

I would encourage them and praise them for what they have already achieved and to continue with that winner mentality, keep focused on their dreams and don't allow the fact of not having attained E365 Winner to hinder there path to success.
Many,( if not all...) Great Successful Business men and women had and possibly still at times have disappointments, but because they don't give up, they are in the world of Success today.

I study a bit everyday what SFI has prepared for us.
I advertise through social media like facebook,
Free Traffic Sites,
Learn from the forum, which is one of the best places I find to learn
and interact with other members.
Ask questions when I cannot find the answer in SFI support index
Try to plan different strategies.
And one of the most important to me is listen to people
especially in facebook about what the latest trends are and
what people seem to be wanting to buy online and then
try to create a group selling those things from TripleClicks.

There is always something more we can add but we have to
concentrate on one step at a time, instead of trying to do all at once
