Which is better for winning Pricebenders auctions: using the auto-bidder or not using auto-bidder?

This question depends on some variables. First I have to say that it depends on how much time you have on your hands to sit at the computer and secondly it depends on how many TCredits you have to spend and I think it depends on what day of the week it is and the time of day.
I personally like the auctions that you can bid on yourself. This gives you the control over how much you are spending and it does not use up all of your credits at once. If you have time to sit and watch where the auction is going. The weekends are more likely to have more bidders as people are not working, same with later evenings, more people seem to be bidding at the auctions.
Auto-bidder can eat you TCredits like a little kid going through a pack of bubble gum, quick, fast, and in a hurry. If you have the TCredits to spend then you are more than likley going to be more successful with the auto-bidder. I would just say, expect to use more TCredits and pay more money for th item in which you are bidding.
Happy Bidding...

How do you ensure that the TCards you send out are used...and what do you do when they are not?

IT is hard to judge if people will use the TC Gift Cards. I have personally handed out 90 and not one has been used as of yet. I do not let that bother me though. I will continue to hand them out. I think of it as a potential client, in business not every person is going to be interested in your product. It is an investment that I might get a return on just as purchasing PSA/CSA to go. How many PSA/CSA's end up sticking it out.
The bottom line is, if you don't hand out the cards you are not helping advertise your business. The cards are an inexpensive way to advetise. If you hand one a day out throughout the month, you are only spending $30 for the month in advertising. To make money we have to spend money.
If you have handed a card to people you are comfortable talking with give them a call and ask them if they have checked out items they can purchase with the card. You could tell them that you just gave them a $12 bill and the yare not spending it. Let them know that there is no obligation to them for using the card just thought they deserved it.
Best of Luck....

How can I best utilize my monthly Standing Order of TCredits?

I use my TCredits as awards for my team members that make EA status each month. This is a nice incentive for your team members.
TCredits can be used at the TripleClicks Auctions for bidding, in turn you get valuable Action VP as well as MRP that you can later use to buy more TCredits and other items at TripleClicks.
Use your TCredits to sell things on your TConnect site. If you sell items there you are making another source of income for yourself. It only costs 1 TCredit per item.
Take part in the games, some take a credit, but you will get a point for Action VP when you use the TCredits. It is a win, win for a person.
Remember, for every TCredit you use, you get Action VP. This is the hardest VP to get until you start building a successful Team that you will later get points for when they maintain their EA status each month. I really like giving a few TCredits to the team members that are working their business consistently.

Who is the better demographic to target in my ads? Retired persons...or homemakers?

I think that both would be great target areas.
On one hand the retired people may have more time to spend during the day to work SFI. Retired people may have a little more money to invest in their business as well. They are also out and about and can spread the word around and talk with other retired people that may be looking for a little more nest egg to have a little more fun in their retirement. One way to look at this is that the retired people have already been out and about in the work force and know how to approach people.
The homemaker may or may not have extra time to work an online business. I would think it would depend on how many kids they have and how old they are. If their children were toddlers or babies then they could probably work a little while the kids are napping. However, if their children are school age the homemaker may be running like crazy getting kids to school, sports, dance,4-H, ect.
My bet would be on the retired persons. Only trial and error will tell the outcome. Best wishes to your business ventures...

Apart from the 125 TCredits pack, what other Standing Order product with 1500 VP would you suggest to replace IAHBE?

IF you happened to be a member before then you will automatically get the 105 TCredit pack for $29.95 and 1500 VP. I think that is a great pay-off as a person has more T-Credits to use for bidding at the auctions, games, list products to sell, use to pay for things that you want to buy, or award your team with some of the credits for all of their hard work.
A person can never have too many T-Credits. At least that's my opinion. So many uses for them.
All my best....
An affiliate logs in after a long period of inactivity. Should I acknowledge this? And if so, what should I say?

I would first welcome them back. Then, I would let them know I was concerned about them, like telling them I hoped everything was ok for them and the family. I would offer my assistance or advice to them and encourage them to stay focused and remember that SFI can generate them a nice living if they do their work on their end. I would then welcome them back again and close.
What's best? Sponsoring fewer PSAs and concentrating on coaching and helping them build...or continuously sponsoring new affiliates?

I think that both are important. I have found that their are a many of the affiliates that will sign-up with SFI, but then they fade out. Look for those affiliates that are active and seem to log-in daily. The ones that go through their to-do-list and complete requirements to make VP and move to the next level of leadership. Help those that are trying to help themselves, we can not make a person sign in daily and do what they need to do to be a success with SFI.
This is where sponsoring new affiliates come in to play. I have found that less than 50% of the affiliates will actually do something with their business ventures. Sponsoring more affilates will give you an advantage as you are only going to have a select few that are actually going to work. The more affiliates a person has the more likely they are going to become successful. Don't forget about those that are trying to work the business though, they are equally important to your success.Send regular emails ( I love the group emails) to all affilaites and let them know that you are there to help them with whatever they may need to be successful.
Good Luck, and Have Fun.

There is a lot of fraud on the Internet. How do we convince skeptical prospects that SFI is legit and real?

I would tell them that SFI does not require any money from a person. Usually fraudulant business schemes require a person to put some money in up-front.
SFI has A LOT of support, BBB listed, and tons of reviews or people telling their stories about how they have done well with SFI.
SFI is not a get rich quick scheme, like fraudulant schemes advertise.
A person does not have to put any information into the SFI system that they do not want to, ei...credit card, social security number, address, etc...
Tell them they have all of the time in the world to check it out. No cost to join and they can retract or stop whenever they want if they don not like what SFI has to offer.
Hope this help, there is a ton of information for a person to look at here at SFI. They really just have to want to do it. SFI is a company that is helping people for the future. I am doing it for the money coming in as a residual income, retirement, and anything extra I want.
Best wishes

What makes you persevere with SFI and not quit?

My best answer that I can give you is:
I always think long-term goals. I did not sign-up with SFI for a get rich quick scheme. I wanted a real business that had the potential to make me and my family a secure future income. I think about having money for a comfortable retirement, money for the children to pay for college, being able to buy the things that we want and not letting other things slide because we cant afford them.
The bottom line is that you always have to stay positive. I know it is hard to do some days. Another thing that I do is, I always think of SFI as my job. It is my business and if I dont invest the time to get it off the ground, it will be like any other business that is not supported, it will fail. I work SFI every single day, even if I only have enough time to get my Daily tasks done. The To Do List is a big one and check my emails.
Think: retirement, long-term, investment in your future, being financially secure.
All my best to you, don't give up. You have to believe in yourself and your business.
