Whenever I get free CSA's for attaining TL rank, I always let them know that though I am just their Co-Sponsor, I want them to treat me as if I were their direct sponsor. Why?

A lot of the CSA's you get probably will not be active, but every now and then, you will get a few that are motivated and willing to learn. If their Sponsor gives little support or none at all, then what will most likely end up happening is they will turn their back on SFI, and rightfully so. However, if you offer

In my point of view, the quality one really needs to have is perseverance. Why? Well let's say you have mastered some techniques to recruit affiliates. And let's also say that you are a truly awesome leader (which I assume you are since you're reading this). Now when all is said and done on your part, it's still up to them whether to capitalize on this opportunity or not. You can't really do the actions necessary for them. All you can do is draw the path for them to walk on.

SFI has some of the best marketing tools (Online and Offline) that I've ever seen. From cards, to letters and what not, they really have it covered. But it is up to you to use it in the most effect manner possible. Since the question is about Offline Marketing, I'll share my method with you guys that I found to be effective compared to the other methods I tried.

Ok, so first you need to arm yourself with some SFI business cards (either self made or the one's you can buy from the TripleClicks

SFI tends to be overwhelming to majority of the affiliates here mainly because they have their eyes set on the pot of gold. We've heard the success stories of our sponsors and if you've finished the LaunchPad, I'm sure you'll also remember a lesson wherein they prominently featured successful SFI affiliates earning crazy amounts monthly.

Knowing these stories is good and all, but people tend to set these success stories as their goals. While I do admire the optimism, we need to be down

When you are trying to convince a person to join a Network Marketing Company, you must show genuine interest in helping them reach their goals, regardless whether you know that person or not. Leading prospects to your affiliate link is a good start but it's not enough. Why? Because when they join, they will see that they too have the same tools as you do. This will make them feel as though you didn't personalize it in any way. Now I'm not saying change how the landing page looks. I'm just saying

If an affiliate is giving up on SFI, then I take it that at some point that specific affiliate learned the basics and actually went through the LaunchPad. So pointing out certain basic aspects of SFI or certain topics covered by the LaunchPad will not do much good and in some cases might even further solidify one's decision to give up as they will feel that you are just quoting something that they have seen already.

So back to your question now. How to convince an affiliate giving up to

If you want to be a true winner of Pricebenders auction, then here is my point of view. Okay, everybody here is giving you pointers on how to win an auction and that's great. But if you want to be a true winner of Pricebenders, then here's how I view it.

YOU NEED TO ADVERTISE PRICEBENDERS! Everybody is winning brand name items for really low prices. And it's only fair that you get your lions share of the whats being won. Everybody will want to bid and hence everybody will need TCredits!

Well, anybody that has seriously read through the LaunchPad and has a firm grip on the SFI business idea will most definitely tell you to never give up on anybody. While I do agree with that statement, you have to understand that giving everyone 100% of your time and support is not a wise way to start your business. Allow me to elaborate on that a little bit before you guys start bashing on me.

Now let's say you have an active CSA who maintains their EA / TL rank and is intensely learning

When somebody asks me that, I first inform them that earning with SFI without spending is very possible, but I also tell them that it's a very challenging and probably frustrating road to take. Because at the end of the day, when you start at SFI, I tell them that they are going to enjoy their stay here even more by maintaining 1,500 VP every month. That way, they keep gaining CSA's instead of losing them. Losing CSA's is losing potential income. You can't let that happen. My number 1 tip aside from
