It is mostly in the mind. A change of mindset can lead to a change of approach.

You are addressing two issues: self-esteem and experience.
A low self-esteem is often a result of lack of confidence. This can be confidence on many fronts bust mostly personality and ideas. Experience on the other hand is earned.That is, it takes time and cannot be achieved overnight.

If you are struggling with self-esteem, the first thing to do is identify the causes and confront them by changing

It is true that today, more and more people use mobile devices such as smart phones than desktop computers. There are two classes of mobile devices: those with access to the Internet and those without.

For advertising SFI and Tripleclicks, this situation presents an opportunity and not a drawback; to reach out to even more potential affiliates than would otherwise be possible. Let us not forget that a smart phone is a mini-computer in itself: people can read their emails and get links

You basically have two types of SFI marketing: Online and Offline.

Although social media falls in the first group, it is unlike many other forms of online marketing in the sense that, social media initially set out as place where people can meet friends or join groups of the same profession. As the number of people using this type of media increased, it became a minefield for placing advertisements and indeed many businesses have benefited from it.
As long as your advert is creative

You are not alone in this! Inactive Affiliates are slowly outnumbering Active Ones!


I think one approach in awakening sleeping affiliates is to ensure that you keep communicating with them even if you do not get a response. Because they are inactive, it means that they do not log in but as long as they have an email address any message you send through SFI will still reach them.

People become inactive for many reasons and it is not possible as a sponsor to know all but

In communicating this great news to your downline, bear in mind that you are dealing with two types of affiliates;
Existing/old members and
The “Newbies” or just enrolled.
And therefore the manner in which you correspond should be proportionate with the target.
I would say for the first type, that is your existing or established downline, it is a case of sharing and reminding them if they have not yet read the news. I would therefore

This is a very interesting question because when one makes an investment, how much he or she gets in return is often what is of outmost importance on his or her mind.
Investment looks at both short and long-term returns.

It is good that you have a budget to invest at SFI and since you already have a standing order, I would suggest that you could spread your expenses to include advertising. In my view, in building a strong SFI team, this what is likely to take up most of your budget

You have to prepare what you are going to say well in advance because you have a very short time in which you are expected to leave an impact. What you say in those few seconds will determine whether a more detailed dialogue is possible later on.

Your pitch should certainly involve you introducing yourself and your business. (Your name and the name of the company) and could go along these lines:

“ SFI, an international marketing company with a record of 17 years, offers a

As your question rightly states, SFI crosses all borders around the world. The main reason for its success is because of the language it speaks, “business!”

The key to communicating this language of business is “understanding” and this means one can still make himself or herself understood to people who do not converse in the same spoken language, in this case English.

The easiest way to do this is by using Translation tools. Almost every major language of the world

You have touched on a subject that is of genuine concern to anyone building a team; “the new affiliate signs up on day 1 and never logs in again!”

Although as a sponsor one can do more to overcome it, this problem is largely due to the type of affiliates who are signing up. In my view, there are three categories:


1. Those who are really serious about finding a home based business.
2. Those who are looking for a business that will give them instant monetary returns.
3.

Often, when you are engaged in a dialogue with the prospect, he or she will be asking more questions than yourself. The prospect is keen to know what this new idea is, how it works and how it will impact his or her life. The prospect will also be wondering whether they have the means or the capacity to succeed. The dialogue can be either face-to-face or online and either way, your art of listening is vital if you are to get your message through.
