I can answer this from personal experience. I joined SFI under "Plug-in profits" with Stone Evans. You can find him quite easily in the SFI leader pages. It was a well thought out system but at that point, I wasn't interested in spending more than I had. Besides there were other profit making sites 7 years ago that made quick profits and then disappeared. I got caught up in that.

In short, I wasn't looking for something long-term but only hoping to make it big quickly.

7 years later, I'm back again in SFI. I probably am like many of those who never really studied things that carefully and I could have if I had more foresight back then.

So my take, is leave them be. Just share the positive things that are happening for you and perhaps someone will "bite" at the right time.

I got my TCurrency license because I had made sales in Tripleclicks and I wanted another way to take out the money. Why not sell TCurrency, increase my sales and gain new customers?

I put my rates [$10, $20, etc], the bank to transfer the money to, my email and phone number. Everything needed to make it streamlined and easy to process.

I would get 1-2 TCurrency enquiries a month. Usually a couple sales a month. So yes, I did increase my sales overall BUT take note of the following things that happened:

1. I got customers from other countries who had no clue how to pay me.
2. I got a request to borrow $10. [I'm still waiting to be paid by this ECA] So I put a note that TCurrency requests without deposit to my bank account would be cancelled.
3. I am currently the only TCurrency provider for my country, the other ECA in my country offering TCurrency stopped offering TCurrency. [Maybe they had another reason...I don't know, this is only my guess]
4. I had a purchaser try to contact me but I was out of town. My staff didn't understand the customer. I tried contacting the customer by email and phone number given but he had changed his phone number. I honoured the TCurrency sale while waiting for payment. He finally paid a few days later. [Possibly someone new to Tripleclicks] So I've tightened up the process so that less problems could take place. Time will tell.

Getting a TCurrency could help increase sales but just be prepared for a few curves along the way.

Cheers.

My own sponsor has always been responsive. I've had some of my CSAs communicate with me frequently and they would share about their sponsors being non-existent.

This was my advice to them:
1. Contact your sponsor and have him or her submit a ticket at support.sfimg.com authorizing us to allow you to change sponsors. Once this has been verified, let us know the name and SFI ID number of who you want your new sponsor to be and we will make the change.

2. Cancel your current account (opt out) and wait for six months, then sign up again under a new sponsor. [Don't Do this]

IMPORTANT: Before pursuing either of the above options, make SURE you read the following article about this topic:

Doing No. 1 could have a few possible outcomes. In the case of FJ, he managed to open communications with his sponsor and they have now an improved working relationship. This is the least problematic, most appealing scenario to SFI, the sponsee, Sponsor and co-sponsor.
Why? Everyone's doing what they're supposed to be doing.

Another outcome would be no reply from the sponsor and the sponsee goes up the line for support. The Co-Sponsor helps out but then doesn't get the full benefit of being a sponsor but does the sponsor's job. I had one such outcome where my CSA asked to be transferred to me but he didn't get a reply from his sponsor. I'm waiting to see what happens here. Perhaps the sponsor will "revive" or we'll have to ask support for help here.

A 3rd outcome would be a refusal by the sponsor to give up the PSA and perhaps would give room for the sponsor to improve. By now, he would be getting negative reviews and that carries some weight there as well.

I have been acting sponsor to a few of my CSAs and they have responded very well. What I have shared with them has either improved sponsor/sponsee communication or at the least I would possibly have a newly-transferred PSA.

Hope this helps.

I know from the questions they ask. If they are committed, they usually qualify for the 200VP bonus quite easily within the first 24 hours. They try out many of the facilities. T-Time, TC Gift cards, W3, qualify for the Daily Grand, have a standing order,
I find the auctions okay but I'm still working with Tech support on this one. I guess being committed to go through with tech support. I have another issue of registering 2 ECAs with the same name and we are trying to figure out the problem. Tech support is still trying to rectify the problem. So I guess patience and perseverance without giving up would be another good sign.

Willingness to try out new ideas. Following up on affiliates. Being on the ball.

Quick Start to a lot of reading that could otherwise be avoided.

Learning from the experiences of others for a quicker easier transition into online marketing.

Sharing your own personal experiences so that other newbies can benefit.

The first few steps could make or break it in such a busy world whether to keep using SFI or ditching it.

I suppose if I'd checked it 7 years ago when I first joined SFI and gave it up, maybe life would be a little different
[This isn't a negative statement, just a real one]

Little successes build confidence in the SFI opportunity.
