If you could completely start over with SFI today, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?

If I could start over with SFI, I would look at it more seriously than before.
I wasn't to sure at first due to the fact that I had been had by so many other sites promising me to make lots of money if I joined and paid. Stupidly, I did just that! I learned the hard way.
I would of been able to earned my "Fast Track" Badge, could of worked harder on my E365 from the beginning without being hesitant, and would have given SFI my all.
That was then and now is now!

What is the best way to help my affiliates who can't afford to purchase anything?

Encourage them to follow the basics, launchpad and get their Daily VP. Have them "Pick the Price" at Pricebenders Auctions for a chance to win. Be sure they enter the Daily Grand for a chance to win there as well. Encourage them to advertise daily. Remind them to Never Give Up!

I have many affiliates in my genealogy that haven't been active for weeks. Should I just ignore them?

Treat them the same as the ones that are active. I have found that there are some that will come rolling back to SFI. Be patient they will open their eyes! Be patient.

Is there a way to grab the attention of affiliates who sign up and then never log in again?

Treat them all the same, each time you send email out
also send one to the inactive as well. I have had a couple
return and take off a little faster than the first time.
Never give up hope. The ones that have bad emails? Place them in a safe folder so if they do come back you have that in your records and hopefully this time they have given a legit email. Never give up Hope!

I have affiliates come to me for help who are not part of my team--should I help them or send them away?

I have gained knowledge about so many different projects with SFI and the Training is Excellent, even though I wish there were more video type training. I know there are some on You Tube that I have been checking into. The Support and Forums and all the SFI Team have been a Huge Help as well. I am learning Daily and thoroughly enjoy it! Basically I love everything about SFI! It helps me to become a better person and leader, while teaching me patience at the same time.

When communicating with my downline, is it best to use the SFI email utility or my own email? What is the most effective?

First I check to be sure they have whitelisted mail@sfimg in order to be contacted by email. If not then I proceed with the TM message through SFI as you know it will be delivered. Always as a first time contact I go through the SFI TM until they have have contacted me by personal email and or whitelisted. It is hard to get some of them to Whitelist. Always follow the Rules!

What is the most important daily activity that SFI Team Leaders should engage in?

Many people join looking for a get rich quick and then they do not fully understand SFI when they join. It is our job to help them understand and contact them. Then it is up to them to decide for themselves. Remember Some will and Some won't.
