Hi there,
If you are sending a newsletter, always encourage your team members, give tips, ways that worked for you. Help them to grow their own team. Tell them about duplication, go back to SFI basics, do the Launchpad again! Sometimes reading it again, suddenly makes you 'click'
Don't push them in buying products! You can suggest an item, but that's it!
If 1 of your team members has an achievement, put it in the stream tab, everyone will see it!

How do you make SFI not be overwhelming for yourself and team members?

I was totally overwhelmed in my first month!
There is so much info that I wanted to take in, I got more and more confused!

Then I decided just to take 1 piece of info at a time untill it made sense to me, that way I finally 'got it'.

Now, when I send a teammail, I also try not giving too much info. Take it 1 step at a time.

Read, read and read untill you understand!

What would you consider to be too much and unnecessary communication with your team?

Good question,
I don't think that there is too much or unnecessary communication!
I appreciate the time my sponsor and co-sponsor takes to send me messages, even personal e-mails!
It shows me they do care and by sharing what they do and great tips that I have received from them!
That is why I send out weekly e-mails to my team, team mail and have some on facebook and I also encouraged some of them to get Skype.
That way you get to know them better, see that it is real people

I have bought quite a few e-books on business and advertising. And i can earnestly say, That it didn't help me at all!!!

The best "book" I can recommend, is SFI itself! I got my best tips from SFI. Reading what your fellow affilliates are doing, their tips and advice, are far more valueble than any book you will buy. It is proven advice!
Read te stream tab, the tips and your SFI launchpad.

And ask your upline, if you don't ask, you won't get an answer! The

1. Do your daily to-do-list
2. Having a standing order.
3. Rating products you bought at tripleclicks.
4. Buy tcredits and use it at the auctions.
5. Enter the Eager Zebra game.
6. Distributing gift certificates.
7. Duplicating and getting points by making rank.

This is some of the ways to make your action vp points!

Is it possible to be successful in SFI even when your PSAs and CSAs do not work or have stopped working?

Yes it is!
There is a lot of people registering, and then do nothing! The best advice I can give, keep on advertising, you will get people that is willing to work and see that SFI does work!!!
People are lazy, they don't want to go through all the information provided, and then loose out on a great opportunity.

I just love this question and I have read many good answers,adding mine lol.
Firstly I have a great sponsor, always helping me, thank you! My co-sponsor on the other hand, well I got another one!
I agree with what someone answered, if your sponsor is non-responsive, they are not serious about their SFI business, get a new sponsor! A sponsor without a team, not helping and guiding them, is not a sponsor!!!

Above all else, what is the ONE THING that has made the difference for you in succeeding with SFI?

I have read quite a few answers to this question!
For me, the one thing (person) that made a difference, kept me going, was my sponsor.
He has helped me numerous times, always answering my questions and giving great advice.
If not for the great support, I don't think that I would have made it this far!

How often should I communicate with my Sponsor and Co-Sponsor?

Halo there!
How often? My personal opinion, as often as you must! How else would you be able to learn and understand SFI!
There is so much info, if you start out! That is why you have a sponsor, to help you learn the business and grow, be a success.
Without communication between you, you will eventually fall out. If you have a question, ask!
There is no question or query that is 'stupid'!!!
If you want to learn and make your SFI business a success, communicate until you

HI there,
Great question!
I have tried quite a few, some did not even get a response.
The best one that is working for me is -
Worldwide internet system that works!

Then I add that it is absolutely FREE in joining and that it is not a scam.
Also mention that tripleclicks have more than 75 000 products.

Hope this helps, it does for me.
