Should I stick strictly to using SFI's system or would it benefit me to add some of my own touches and strategies?

The system that SFI has in place is, for many, more than adequate to market their SFI business. However one should remember that this is your business and the more ways you are able to market the more likely your success.

There are many ways you can go about it and most, if not all, of those techniques are addressed in either AskSC or the SFI Forum.

What do you say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time?

Just do the math for them.

If each one(1) Daily Action is performed as prescribed, an affiliate will receive a minimum 15 AVP each day. Extend that out to 30 days and one will have accumulated 450 AVP for these “waste of time” actions.

Small steps lead to huge gains in the end.

My personal experience here is letting the Ask SC questions go because they took too much time for just one(1) VP. But I soon realized that I was letting 30 VP slip away (not to mention

What is the best way to help people who do not have money to invest in SFI?

Money is not a problem in SFI.

Yes, of course anything is easier with money but if there is little to invest there will be little to lose, eh?

The first thing would be to demonstrate the accumulation of VP through daily, weekly and monthly actions.

Secondly, teach the marketing of their own web store using the free tools, both online and off, available through SFI. The building of a group of loyal PRMs is probably the most sure fire way to build a strong and lasting

There are numerous ways to build your team. However the best way to get started might be through the tools offered by SFI.

Number one would be the S-Builder Co-op. Inexpensive and very functional it delivers both PSAs and PRMs to your team. Many Team Leaders purchase multiple shares of this co-op and have built large organizations with this as the main tool.

Number two is, of course, PSAs To Go. It is a quick and reliable way to build a team, fast.

After these, a

What are the best Genealogy filters to use and why?

Mostly I use the Quick Filters for most of my activities.

1. “Movers” You might think this one is redundant since you have the Movers Red Tab. The difference is the filter is more extensive and comprehensive than the Tab. Where my Tab may have six “movers” listed the Movers Quick Filter will display 11 or more depending on activity. It will show everyone who has logged in regardless of activity.
2. “EA last month, not yet EA this month” This is self explanatory. Encourage

Why should an SFI affiliate have his own domain, what are the advantages?

Yes. If you are going to have your own growing, thriving business you must have your own domain.

The advantages are many.

1. Your own domain can be used in any way you wish. If for no other reason than to set up a redirect to one of your SFI Gateway sites. There are several advertising and social sites that don't permit SFI URLs (guess they are jealous of others success!). So using your own domain name is one temporary fix around that.
2. You can start a blog about

What do you say to your affiliates who are disappointed about being knocked out of the E365 competition?

I would simply tell them that it is not the end of the world. This is a business venture that has multiple avenues of income and the E365 competition is only one part of the SFI experience.

If they had logged in EVERY DAY, clicked on the red tabs and set up a standing order (like they were told to do) they would not have gotten “knocked out.” So they should get over it.

I am one of the thousands of SFI affiliates who was not a part of my class E365 competition as I sat

If you already have your five future PTLs identified (per THE PLAN), should you keep developing more first-level stars?

The answer is - absolutely!

In life anything can happen. You might have five movers who all have the potential to become PTL. However you just do not want to rely on these few. One might just lose interest. One might have a family emergency and not be able to continue and yet another might decide to just continue as EA and wait to see what happens while he pursues other outlets. Then there is the fourth one who has a spouse that doesn't get it and is jealous of the time and money being

The SFI business is so simple. There are numerous income streams within SFI as seen in the Compensation Plan (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan). But to increase your profits there are several steps one can take.

1. Master the art of sponsoring. Whether online or off you must learn to teach people the SFI system. Daily activity with the “red tabs”, set up a 1500VP standing order and teach others to do the same.

2. Start your own ECA store.

3. Promote TripleClicks

Offline or online recruiting...which is best and why?

Both are best!

The best one for you is doing whatever you are most comfortable with. However I feel that both should be used as they reach different audiences.

Offline you are speaking to friends, family, coworkers and acquaintances. This is your so called warm market and you can often find the most loyal and active affiliates in this manner.

Online you will be able to reach thousands of prospective affiliates from all over the world. Something you can never hope
