Sponsoring and duplication are very important aspects in building a profitable and sustainable business here at SFI because it is the foundation for generating a life long residual income.

The S-Builder Co-opting (Co-op) is where you and/or your PSAs (some or all) share signups generated, either by sharing the cost or where the sponsor elects to bear most or all of the cost. The S-Builder Co-op can be an instrument for both sponsoring and duplication; sponsoring by generating signups through

In my own opinion, I think the major reason VP reset at zero monthly is because you may receive money and other benefits from your monthly VP based on the work or actions you carried out in that particular month.

Notwithstanding this, many still question the rationale behind it so just explain using a hypothetical case scenario like this one:

Let VP = hours worked by a worker who works for a company
At the end of the March for example, all daily hours are calculated and

I don't think you should restrict your recruitment potential because of perceived language problems because there are various tools in SFI and outside of SFI to reduce the negative impact of this problem, some of which are:

1. Direct your team members to translation tools on the Internet like Google translate, so that they can use it to convert content into language they can understand. There are various types you just need to assist and encourage them to try as much as they can and to

In any human endeavor you cannot do more than your best, so there is very limited assistance you can render to affiliates with limited Internet access. Internet limited access varies, e.g., having none at home or not enough network bandwidth to function properly. However, I will attempt to give a general overview of the type of help you may render below:

1. Use other conventional methods like telephone to communicate important and helpful information to them.

2. Limited access

They are:

1. Filters- They enable you to search directly at the type of information you want to process. For example you can use the Red Flagged filter if you want to communicate those that are about to be removed from the system as a result of inaction or the Last Login to access those that are no more regulars at the affiliate centre. The trick here is to encourage those that are about to be removed to not miss the opportunity this organisation provides and to show concern for those

Each of them brings different kind of benefits; TripleClicks is mainly buying and selling while Sponsoring major in team building.

The benefits of referring TC members are that you receive the VP associated with the products purchased by your referred members plus 45% CV of their purchases. Added to these, you'll also earn 10% of the CV on all sales at TripleClicks if any of your referred members becomes an ECA plus 100 VP when your referred ECA generates at least $10 in sales. Your referred

Certainly if you are prospecting for ECAs there are various methods you use like letters, emails, face-to-face, advertisement etc, combined with other SFI materials and texts we are expected to use when approaching ECAs. These have been provided for global use and not specific to any geographic location.

However, you may decide not to go global but within your sphere of influence and knowledge which can include you country or region, but may not necessarily be limited to your country or

SFI management is responsible for creating the enabling environment for us to effectively function as business people in a professional and enduring manner. All the structure, platform, training, e-commerce etc are designed, programmed and continuously refined by SFI management, in order to ensure that the ‘fluidity’ with which we carry out our businesses is devoid of encumbrances.

It is therefore pertinent and appropriate for us to depend, in this regard, on SFI management to ensure

One of the reasons people do not approach people face-to-face has to do with shyness, rather than for strategic reason, so you need to overcome this shortcoming but first what is shyness?
Dr. Bernardo J. Carducci identified 3 components of shyness:

1. Excessive Self-Consciousness- you are overly aware of yourself, particularly in social situations.

2. Excessive Negative Self-Evaluation- you tend to see yourself negatively.

3. Excessive Negative Self-Preoccupation-

In order to encourage your downline to purchase from TripleClicks, you need to let them know what it means, how to go about it and the benefits.

1. What it means:

Transfer buying- Let them know that contrary to what some think, transfer buying is changing your usual place of purchase to TripleClicks, so it does not necessarily mean spending more money because you are going to be purchasing the usual products you need and have been purchasing at you former place of purchase at
