This is a tough question! Not a fixed formula but a combination of several aspects.

The bottom line is those who become affiliates of SFI have to be convinced that they want to be part of this initiative. They must have a basic understanding of the concept. (Not a get rich overnight scheme) Sadly many join out of curiosity and when this is the case the outcome is obvious, they quit.

They ought to have a desire to persevere and have great expectation so the chances of getting weary is slim.

The team leaders have a great role to play in keeping their down lines motivated and remind them of the bigger picture. Some fun and challenge can be brought in to make them be anxious for what's next. If the leaders are doing well the down lines will have a desire to follow. The leaders must show their down lines that they value them and are interested in their success as well. let's do it together so that we all win.

Work Hard win big mentality!

I do not think there is a right or wrong answer for this question because every customer is different but I think when one sell on TripleClicks he or she should focus on meeting the needs of every individual who may visit the site and by so doing the cost of items should be attractive enough and should benefit both the seller and the buyer. Most buyers look at price first but there are those who will look for quality. It makes no sense to put items for sale that can be obtained elsewhere and put them at exorbitant prices, it is very likely that the items will not be sold quickly or at all.

My advise as a prospective ECA would be to sell things that are in demand(a market research could be a good option to make a judgement), calculate your price based on the cost of the product including all overheads and add your mark up. Do not forget to take into consideration the percentage on sales which has to be deducted on your sales, this should be considered as well.

Assuming that the person does not know what is SFI, I would first pose the question, " have you heard of SFI?" Depending on the response I would answer accordingly. For someone who does not know about it, I would first explain by starting off with the meaning of the acronym SFI.
SFI stands for Strong Future International, it is an internet based marketing business which has been in existence for about 16 years but started off with just one product. This business is now the home of over 98,000 products and services, this explains the speed of growth. It is also an affiliate based business and every affiliate becomes part of that business so no one should sit idly by and wait for others to work on their behalf. It calls for team effort and commitment. It is important to note that SFI is not a get rich overnight business and is no way a pyramid scheme or any other scheme. It is an innovative way of allowing every member to earn and your earnings are based on your efforts. One could look at it as a retirement fund which you can tap into before retirement. There are a lot of benefits to be derived such as action points where you get versa points all the actions you are directed to do, there are also hourly, daily and annual draws where affiliates could win various prizes including cash and also a platform for selling, purchasing and auctioning where over 190 countries are at your disposal.

To ensure you benefit in a timely way you need to spend time in your business ( you have to treat is as that) and read a lot. All what you need is provided for you and the good thing is in your first month as a member you earn whilst you learn, so you cannot lose. So much I could say but I would want you to explore the possibilities for yourself to prove that what I am saying is not a beautiful painting so I recommend that as you become an affiliate go to the SFI basics and you will see the steps well articulated. Go to this blue box on your top right hand corner which says SFI BASICS, between the grey and green boxes. I am sure when you get started nothing is going to hold you back from continuing but one thing we all should overcome in life is our fear.

Go for it!

There is a vast difference between the two, though the both may be geared towards the same goal and that is to get a good return.

With the traditional business you may need to do a market survey to ensure that you are entering the right business or maybe to have an idea of the possibilities of success but as an SFI affiliate the work is already done for you all you need it to enter with a determining spirit and work towards your set goal.

Again the traditional business is exposed to more risks whether it be financial, market, operational or otherwise but the only risk an affiliate is exposed to is what imposed on yourself. If you work hard you expect results. No free meal.

With the traditional business there will always be winding down cost but as an affiliate you could get up any day and decide to give up on your dream but there will be no immediate cost just a loss to you for that decision.

There are lots of overhead costs in the traditional business which must be factored in the price of the products but with SFI no overhead cost because I am sure majority of affiliates had internet connection before the thought of SFI came and they were already paying for the service so this will not be an added cost as a matter of fact your will be making good use of the service and the returns from SFI can enable you to upgrade your internet package.



So many differences but do not want to exhaust the reader therefore I will end here and let someone else add to the list. I hope you got the point!

This is a very good question. It may or may not be but depends.

There are two sides to this question and that is a negative side and a positive side. On the positive side I would say yes and that is based on the relationship that exist. We could work as a team and have a common goal. The support could be far reaching. If we all understand that our success in SFI calls for hard work dedication then we could put resources together. Also it could be easier to keep in touch with a family members and keep then on track. In the case where they may be in a different location they could build a team on their end and we all could benefit.

On the negative side, family members surprisingly might do everything in their power to sabotage your plans for personal reasons. They may be sceptics and consider your plan foolish and may even doubt the credibility of SFI and discourage you. Also in the case of a spouse it may not be such a good idea because it may seem like you all are competing against each other and that could bring tension rather you could just solicit the support of your spouse in all aspects. As long as he/she understands and sees the benefit you will be guaranteed to have that support.

I am sure this has been the thought of many affiliates especially those who are now enjoying or ripping the benefits and this is absolutely normal as human beings because we cannot tell the future.

As an Affiliate for only four months, after the second month I asked myself is it worth it because I felt I had put in a lot of work which warranted better returns. However when I look at the way SFI works and I began to have a better understanding of it, I told myself it is worth the effort. Everything you need to progress and succeed is available all you need to do is explore, read a lot and learn how to maximise the benefits available. Also you have to understand it is not a get rich quick program so as long as you are committed and persistent the benefits are immeasurable.

Now let me tell you what kept me pushing forwards. I have my eyes set on the future and the bigger picture of SFI since I am about 20 years away from retirement legally therefore if I put my energies and resources into it, I will be actually imagining myself in a gold mind. Not forgetting the exposure I can get through the web when I set up my shop and everything is already in place to get me started. I have told myself the first year will be all about the knowledge of SFI while I maintain my EA status.

Those of you who contemplating giving up, my advice to you is that you should give yourself some time to learn about the business and make it personal to you. "My business". Read! Read! Read!

Member Reward Points (MRP) The name speaks volumes...
In broad terms everyone loves to be rewarded and that is basically what is happening. We are being rewarded for our actions and as I read in someone's answer even when you lose (in the pricebinders) you win because the MRPs earned during the auctions can be converted to what you have used up which is the T credits which are necessary for achieving specific statuses like Executive Affiliate (EA) which in turn enables you to earn more because you would be able to access a wider pool for earning. MRPs can be used for purchasing items available for sale and can be used to facilitate those low on funds at any given time.

In a nutshell MPR is very useful in the whole set up of SFI and Tripleclicks so they should not be overlooked because they can bring a lot of benefits. Just as you monitor your versa points and T credits, you should monitor your MRPs.

Enjoy!

This is a good question and I will attempt to give my input.

It is difficult to separate the two quantity and quality in SFI because depending on the goals you have set you need both. While it is true you may have 100s who may have signed up and do nothing, imagine if they all were to do something the impact that could have on your business.

To answer you question in a more direct way, to move from quantity to quality would need to start with you, you ought to be enthusiastic about SFI, develop a passion for it that makes it difficult for you to be separated from it, you must be educated in SFI, we know knowledge is power and without knowledge of what you are doing you will not be able to help your affiliates who at the beginning can be very reliant on you and lastly, you must be an enduring individual, one who is patient but optimistic. In that way you would have the right approach to the business and be able to target the right people to be part of your team presenting to them, the business that is reputable (Maybe you can say if it wasn't you would not be associated with it) the benefits are tremendous.

It is important to help your downline understand within the first month, the concept of SFI. It is an affiliated business and we succeed through duplication. Once they get the understanding of it then the concept duplication will be driven automatically and adopted. Someone told you about it right? Then you in turn tell others and that is where the duplication begins. If you are not driven to tell others and encourage them to become part of it then it means you are not convinced within yourself that it is a good business and as a result you will not be successful.

They have to think of it as depending on others to make an income.

This question and answer was well articulated in one of SFI's tips/forums. I read it somewhere but I just could not find exactly where it is to send the link but never mind I will some day. So much information to chew on, it feels like a gold mind in here ,the more you dig the more you discover. However, I will still give my take on this.

Both methods are effective and are relative to the group you are targeting. The paid advertisement may require less work because you may have folks working on your behalf and because that is their job their efforts may be harder but still may not craft it exactly to suit you. The free ads can be effective as well but would require some more effort on your part to ensure that it gets to the right group of people and they are strong enough to sell your product.

Although I have not done much advertising except one on one conversations I will go for both for starter to really judge the more effective one.
