Hello Rebecca, Thanks for asking this question.

the best way to receive ratings and comments for being a great sponsor is to first have an active downline if none of your members are currently active or you do not have a downline yet you would need to become first a EA2 and receive your 2 CSA's each month as well as advertise your gateway to get some PSA's on your team.

Then when you have active PSA's and CSA's in your downline you can send out a reminder message either through genealogy mailer or through their personal e-mail address, stating that its that time of month and you are eligible to earn 10 VP for submitting your rating of your sponsor/co-sponsor and feel free to leave me a comment on how you feel I am doing as your sponsor/co-sponsor

that I think is the easiest way to achieve your sponsor ratings


Thank you

Hello Irena great question

this is where I would begin-talking about duplication and leveraged income and the effects it will have on their business. The more people you and your team members sign up the better their chances are of finding the select few they need to make great commission checks from SFI

Do not try to pull their leg to get them to spend any money I have quite a few affiliates who are unemployed at the moment who are unable to make a S/O. Just give them the information needed to help them build their business and when they are able they might make the efforts needed to help themselves to make a solid income with SFI
for the time being just keep up your efforts with sponsoring new team members you will never know who will be your next star or where they might come from.

One thing to remember though is you can lead a horse to water but you CANNOT make them drink it! They have to be willing and able to make any purchase no matter how small.

here is an email I send out to my team every three months or so, so my newer team mates can see the power of duplication and how leveraged income actually works. With a little patience, persistence, and perseverance in this business we call SFI we all can have a strong and healthy bank account and our future is looking brighter every day!

The Power of Duplication!

I once was told by an A2A friend that if you were to buy say 10 individual TCredits for $18.90 and you can get 10 of your team members to do the same you will have a $58 commission and 1,020 VP and if you are active in doing your daily to do list every day through out the month you will have 1495 (for 28 days) you will need to use 5 TCredits to make up the 29th day, 1506 (29 days), 1,517 VP for the month (30 days), or 1528 (31 days) you see for less than $20 a month you are earning a minimum of $58 per month you would then become EA2 every month and earn more commissions

Think if all of your team members would spend that $20 every month so for minimal work you would receive great rewards depending on how deep your team goes say also if you were able to get 15 people since they are now EA2 every month would also give you 1,500 free VP

So in total you would have 1,020 VP from your purchases +1,500 VP from your team reaching EA2 + 497 VP for doing your daily, weekly, and monthly to do lists = 3,017 VP making you qualified for BTL and the matching VP bonus at the end of the month AND 1 share in second home CSA's (they are CSA's who because their original co-sponsor were not able to keep EA2 that month and were reassigned to those who were Team Leaders

1 share for BTL, 2 for STL, 3 for GTL, and 4 shares for PTL sometimes I get active CSA's other times they are inactive and it's our job as Team Leaders to try to bring them around and become active in SFI again sometimes it helps other times they just stay inactive it depends on what motivates them I try to make sure I include ALL of my team in any messages I send out active or not just to keep them in the loop of what is going on in SFI and what they can do to reach their goals they have in life and with the reasons they joined us here at SFI.

So just imagine how many VP you could earn at the end of the month when commissions are paid out on the 10th so on average if you had your 1st generation ONLY maintains EA2

you would receive 1,500 VP per affiliate so for your 15 team members that's 22,500 bonus VP combined with your 3,017 VP is 25,517 VP equaling about $12.76 + the $87 =$99.76 so minus the $18.90 you paid for your 10 TCredits would give you a $80.86 profit each and every month.

This does not include profits from your CSA's considering you would be getting anywhere from 20-100 new CSA's per month due to your now new position of BTL and if you have them purchase 10 individual TCredits per month @ $28.50 per month at a conservative rate of only 15 CSA affiliates taking you up on your offer your total commission for each month would be $109.36

So for your less than $20 investment in your SFI Business you could be earning a nice commission check each month the total commission for 1 year would be $1,312.32 for your first year assuming you only sponsor 15 EA2's if you were to do this every month so for your first year your total sponsored EA2's would be 180 EA2's.

After that 1st year you would be receiving 18,000 VP just for them being EA2 making you qualify for Platinum Team Leader and 270,000 VP per month just in matching VP and your own 1,517 VP (30 day month) for a total of 289,517 VP earning you $144.75 from VP and $1,072.50 from sales equals $1,217.25 per month after your first year in SFI.

Think about if your team grew to your 2nd through 12th level in your downline, your matching VP could be in the MILLIONS! I know several A2A friends who are now above the MILLION VP level.

Now that you are Platinum Team Leader you will get 4 Shares of Second Home CSA's giving you anywhere from about 100-400 new Team members per month to earn commissions from. And you will be earning matching VP on ALL 12 levels of your downline Team.

If you can sponsor even 5 EA2's every month either through free ad sites or paid advertising or co-op's it will pay off in the long run it just takes time to build your Team of affiliates who will be willing to build their Business in return helping Build YOUR Business.

The longer you are ACTIVE with us here at SFI the more you will make. If you cannot afford to spend the $20 per month right now I recommend starting with 1 TCredit for $1.89 then slowly add more and more TCredits till you reach 10 individual TCredits earning you EA2 status. As you sponsor more and more affiliates teach them this method and you will succeed . SFI is here to stay they are NOT going anywhere but UP and more popular as our program gets more and more exposure on different ad sites and in local newspapers through out the world. Keep up your efforts and you will succeed it just takes time, patience, and persistence and if you keep logging in daily and are active in YOUR business you will survive your first year, which will be your hardest year We survived and so can you!

thanks for the opportunity to share this message to all of my SFI friends

Hello Emmanuel and all SFI affiliates,

Great question!

The simplest and easiest way to explain what SFI is about would be to tell your prospect that SFI stands for Strong Future International Marketing Group and we are a company backed by 15 years of success. And that we are an online company based in Lincoln Nebraska in the United States.

Then I would explain that it is free to join and there is never any requirement to make a payment of any kind. (but if you decide to spend a little money it will help build up your business and it could grow faster than without buying something)

next I would tell them the benefits of SFI like 6 different ways to make a commission each month. Also talk about TripleClicks and the benefits of the combined forces of a sales and marketing site and an affiliate program all rolled up in one company

Then explain what residual and leveraged income is about and how it is achieved by duplication and sponsoring.

Then finally reaffirm that it's free to join and that you can start building yourself a second or replacement income starting in just a few hours a day with simple actions and copy and paste ads that are already approved for us to use or as he/she becomes a team leader they can submit their own ad for approval.

That's about as simple as it gets!

I hope this has been of help to you and all of SFI

Thanks

Hello Sherri Great question

Which of the Power Tools works best for me would have to be the S-Builder Co-op because I get referrals from me winning an auction or outright purchasing shares each month. I have had a few active affiliates from the Co-op but most as of now have been inactive. I still feel it is my favorite Power Tool because for the price and what I get (more potential superstars) then I am happy.

One thing I would like to mention is SFI, me, or anyone else cannot predict if an affiliate will or will not be active! I have done my part and I continue to do my part in sending them weekly messages and updates but its their choice to decide if they are active or not. I wish all affiliates were active but there are a lot of people who do not understand the potential of what SFI has to offer them, it's sad really

Back to the question S-Builder offers so much in return for each share that I try to buy or win it as often as I can (I live on a very limited budget right now and cannot always afford to keep an active share each month) but it is a win-win I get PSA's in my downline and I am active in SFI/TripleClicks daily and I am building my business (slowly but surely)

I hope my answer has been Helpful

Thanks and I will see you at the top!

Hello Keith and all SFI affiliates,

Personally I do have a tight budget I live month to month on disability anything extra left over at the end of the month goes toward advertising my website and ads. I set aside every month for $58 to come out of my PayPal account for (2) 100 packs of TCredits so I can try and maintain my BTL with my small team, so far I have done well.

Another thing I do is I place several FREE ads through out the week. I know people say free ads do not pay off and are time consuming but for me they work fairly well.

when I have some extra time I also like to go to traffic exchanges and just view other peoples ads for credits to get my site viewed doing this several days a week has generated a few leads here and there over the last year maybe 2-3 a month but every little bit of advertising helps especially the free ones there are so many free ad sites out there I have just scratched the surface

I just google different keywords and scroll through the pages and pages of websites till I find one I like and then I bookmark them till I get a chance to post there

one final thing I'd like to mention is buying from your own TripleClicks store when I needed a new usb adapter for my Ipad I looked here first and found one! and any Christmas and birthday shopping I do I look here at my shop first before I go to Walmart or Amazon. It's a good habit to get into because we might not have everything here YET but we will one day and a lot of ECA's offer free shipping too

Hello Milos this is a great question,

I have two ways that are the easiest for SFI members the first way to receive your commission the fastest is the SFI/TripleClicks Mastercard.

The reason being is that it is accepted in every country that we do business in and it loads automatically each month no waiting for a paper check to be mailed.

BUT if you wait to get the TripleClicks Mastercard till you are earning around $20 a month then the fees are not taking your entire commission every month I want the TripleClicks Mastercard but right now my commissions are to low and would just be taken by the load and monthly fees

And as a bonus you can show prospective members your TripleClicks Mastercard as proof and validation that this business IS REAL and does pay its members monthly commissions a great way to get them to join us (and your team)!!

The next best way to receive your commission the fastest is PayPal (if it is accepted in the members country)

The reason being if you do not want to pay the fees associated with the TripleClicks Mastercard you can sign up for and verify a PayPal account easily and its free.


I am not one to know if there any fees associated with the commissions being sent to your PayPal account but if there is its very minimal

also if I am not mistaken it gets transferred to PayPal around the 15th of each month

thank you for allowing me to be able to answer this question here in Ask SC

Hello Ovidio as well as all of SFI this is a great question,

What is the best way to contact a prospective ECA?

in my personal opinion I do most of me ECA searches online so I would say by Email I have 1 ECA at the moment with 2 possible ones maybe joining from this method!

the main way to attract "Local" ECA's is still and will always be face to face I am typing up my best proposal letter this week and tweaking it to make it even better!

Then with a stack of ECA brochures and the letters printed on TripleClicks Letterhead I will be walking to my downtown business district (after I call the different businesses) and make sure that I can come in on that day I will be building my business and their businesses as well!!

for both of these methods I typed up a great message getting the prospective client(s) to sign up at or TripleClicks store as an ECA

For anyone new to sales and marketing closing the deal can be scary at first till you get use to explaining the proposal clearly and precisely but doing it by Email first can help alleviate those first time jitters once you got the knowledge down to an art it will become easier to discuss in person (it's the not knowing an answer to their question that makes it a feared thing to begin doing)

Arm yourself with Knowledge this is one key to remember in any business. Without knowledge there is no sale or referral because the fact is you CANNOT sell someone something you know nothing about. If when you started working with SFI back in 2013 say you had no experience with marketing and sales and were a true newbie then as with anything you are truly wanting to invest your time and or money into you have to learn all you can about the company, the business model, compensation plan, and the different ways to earn a commission one being the ECA program.

You would not buy stocks or bonds from a company you knew nothing about and the same goes for the ECA program

What you are doing so far is the right thing asking your own questions in Ask SC, now you also should go to our forum and research prior questions/answers, as well if you cannot find an answer, to ask one yourself many of our finest leaders (including Gery) are always at the forum to answer any question we all might have

And of course rejection is still there you cannot avoid it I figure (overall with SFI in my opinion) out of every 9 no's I'll get 1 yes. For every no I am that much closer to getting a yes and possibly get a star ECA who you both will benefit from the relationship that has just begun.

One way to help alleviate this rejection and fear is to have your own ECA store I will be opening one hopefully by the end of this year if I can find a niche that we do not have in our TripleClicks store yet and is feasible in terms of shipping the items for free and has a good margin for profit I am still looking for those criteria but things are looking up at the moment

Having your own store gives you the KNOWLEDGE you need to expand you list of ECA's on your team knowing how to sign up, what paperwork is needed,and how to list an item for the first time as well as knowing the ins and outs of our TripleClicks ECA site, examples being - how to find an order that was just placed or how to receive your payments or how to make a price change or delete a listing are all necessary

to sum it all up both in person and email are great ways to contact a prospective ECA, it just depends on how comfortable you are right now at doing face to face prospecting.

I really hope this information has helped you I know I went a little off topic but I felt it was important to point out the whole story too

Thanks

Hello Pavle

The reason duplication in our SFI business is not only important but essential is that without our team doing the same thing we do there is no money to be made.

Basically we could sell sell and then sell but not everyone just likes to sell. Then there is the issue that some people are not good at selling or convincing others to keep buying and some people who will buy something once and then never return again to TripleClicks so you would have to sponsor a truck load of PRM's every month just to make a profit compared to sponsoring a truck load of PSA's where on average 1 out of 10 affiliates are active and MANY affiliates are great at duplication, compared to just selling, getting sign-ups and sponsoring other affiliates. Those are the people who will make it here at SFI because the more people you can sponsor and teach them what you do every month day in and day out, as long as you can find a decent place to find affiliates (which takes time) the better your chances of you succeeding in turning a good profit heck might even be a great one depending how you work with your team. Some people like me enjoy having a team who they can seek and give advise to , and then supporting their team with weekly messages and solutions to their smallest to their biggest questions.

And with duplication say you buy 10 TCredits for yourself for less than $20 and you get 15 of your teammates to do the same minus your $20 you will make $58 profit just in sales and if they all sponsor 15 people who also buy 10 TCredits with you already EA from your sales and purchases as long as you do all things on your to do list every month then you will become BTL the next month from them reaching EA2 status themselves because those 15 affiliates will give you 1,500 VP just for maintaining their EA2 status.

Then say you keep sponsoring every month and you get another 15 who are also active then that is $116 just from your sales to your team that does not include anything from your ECA's if you can sign some up, then CSA's and PRM's. It can add up really fast especially if you are good at sponsoring (takes practice and patience)

I hope this has shed some light on duplication and why it is important as well as essential.

Thank you for asking this great question.

Hello Jennie Great question!

When you are designing a business card you want it to stand out so first off I would include a flashy picture say something that jumps out at the person like a 3-d graphic
or just an amazing picture that can be used as the background

then you would need to include the basics like
* your website or your referral link or if you have a custom domain from SFI
(I strongly recommend having your own website because its easier to remember)
* email address
* a good contact phone number
(if you want you could call your local phone company and ask for an 800 number with an easy to remember number say like 1-800-Call Jen - its cheap to set up)
* and on the back include some basic key facts about SFI like maybe the ultra simple 3 step plan
Thats about it except maybe a catchy slogan

I hope I have been helpful

Hello John and all of SFI

If I had an extra $100 to spend on my business what would I use it for to grow up that business?

Well not everyone can agree on one or more things that would build up your business with that $100 but in my opinion there are several things I would do especially if that $100 was a monthly investment.

1. S-Builder Buy 2 shares for $44 this will help with your structure of your business (sponsoring more PSA's)

2. 125 TCredits for $36.25 so you can place bids and strategically win more TCredits at first till you get some of them saved up for other bigger auctions like IAHBE 3/6 month subscriptions IPad Air/ the 42 inch tv either for you to use or resell at local venues like flea markets and other places or for your team as prizes for being top sponsor-er or for becoming BTL or really any contest you may run.

3. for the remaining $19.75 you could place several online ads at different "high traffic" websites check out their Alexa rating before you place an ad and see what their ranking is if it gets a decent amount of daily traffic it might be worth posting an ad there

But do not forget to do Use A/B split testing through every step of the advertising process! When using A/B split testing put 80% of your budget in your best ads and use the other 20% for testing purposes. A/B split testing = Always Be Testing! Google the term if you get a chance...

thanks for posting such a great question
