First, I want to clarify something in your question. You asked what the best “product” is for a Standing Order (SO). If your SO is worth at least 1,500 VP (sales VP), that helps you easily maintain EA status each month. You’ll also be awarded with an extra 100 VP (action VP) just for having a SO with 1,500 VP. However, you’re not required to have “one product” that has at least 1,500 VP attached it. You can have multiple items on standing order throughout the month with less than 1,500 VP. So as long as all of your SO items add up to 1,500 VP for the month, you’ll hit EA and gain your extra 100 VP once all your orders have gone through the system. This can be very helpful for the financially challenged affiliate. These affiliates can choose to set multiple standing orders, maybe one order a week or one every two weeks, depending on when they get paid, rather than paying the entire SO all at once. Just be sure to do your math on the cost of the item versus the VP earned, or you may end paying more in the long run by spreading out your SO. All that being said, here are my top recommendations for a product (products) in a SO.
1. IAHBE – International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs
While SFI offers you wonderful free training and resources, an IAHBE membership will give you access to more in depth training and professional development (i.e. starting up and running your business, marketing your business, etc.). It will also give you some wonderful personal development to better yourself as a leader, business owner, and employee for your own business. The cost is $29.95 with a SO. You’ll receive 1,500 VP for this order and gain your extra 100 VP because of it.
2. Two 100-pk TCredits - TCredits can be used for various things:
- Bidding on a Pricebenders auction
- Entering a Pricebenders Pick the Price contest
- Selling your items on TripleClicks (TC)
- Promoting sales of items on TC (When you give out one of those TC X-Cards for a free listing, it uses one of your free TCredits. If you don’t have TCredits, only 75% of your X-card referrals will be assigned to you.)
- Purchasing extra items (not part of your SO) on TC that can be paid with TCredits
- Rewards for your downline
**Note that this is not one 100-pk, not other pack amounts, but Two 100-pks!
A 100-pk of TCredits costs $29 with a SO. A 200-pk costs $58. Essentially, the cost is the same when you order two 100-pks. However, the 100-pk comes with 1,200 VP (2,400 VP when you get two packs), while the 200-pk comes with 1,661 VP. For the same price and same number of TCredits, you receive an extra 739 VP (sales). Plus, you can spread out your SO to two separate $29 purchases in the same month, rather than paying it all at one time. To top that, if you decide to use your TCredits on auction bidding, you can also earn valuable action VP, up to 500 VP/month (200 VP if you only use the TCredits you just bought)! Another perk? You earn 5 Member Reward Points (MRP) with every auction bid. So try bidding on some of the Double MRP (DP) auctions for 10 MRP/bid! Once you build up your MRP, use them to purchase gifts for birthdays or holidays!
All in all, you’re looking at a total of 1,600 VP (IAHBE SO + extra 100 VP) at a cost of $29.95/month, or 2,700 VP (TCredit SO + auction bidding + extra 100 VP). You do the math. In the long run, I would highly recommend IAHBE for anyone that just wants to easily hit EA each month. It will cost the least and you can set this up to take effect at the beginning of each month. For those who want extra VP to help them reach Team Leader status, stay well-positioned in the E365 contest and leader board rankings, or just earn extra shares of the TC executive pool, I highly recommend placing a SO for TWO 100-pks of TCredits. You’ll definitely get the biggest bang for your buck!
