If an affiliate asked me how or if they should create and maintain their own SFI website I would encourage them to create a site that first and foremost highlights them and then the SFI business. Why?...because it is easy to duplicate with each new person who joins.

People connect with people and want to know the character of the people they will be associated with. They want to know that you care about them, their goals, dreams, and successes. They want to know you will be there to help them when they are frustrated or have failed.

The SFI site is a vessel for storing all of the information for training, products, levels of achievement, marketing materials, rewards, and FAQ. As such a web link to SFI would be important but not as important as your ability to sell yourself first. Without people, no business can succeed.

You know most people who quit do so because they never made a human connection with someone who can listen to them and help them. So if you sell yourself first and include your enthusiasm for SFI with links that introduce them to the business, you will get more people who will check it out and sign up with you. And...isn't that what you are after?

Also remember this, people listen to a radio station called WIIFM (What Is In It For Me). So if you have a website or landing page that answers this vital question (WIIFM), and highlights YOU the affiliate or Team Leader, you present a stronger vision of what they can achieve. And, they could create a website for themselves easily, with or without your help.

Success is achieved by standardizing what you do and then doing it over and over and over again. So remember this phrase "standardize and replicate" then put it into practice.

Make every day a good day to succeed.

Believe it or not you may be in a better position that you think in communicating. If you believe you are communicating at a basic level, you are doing exactly what you should be doing.

So don't worry about your skills rather focus on whether the person you are communicating with understands.

Here are some simple facts that should help you when you do not know the level of education or fluency of the person receiving your message.

1. Communicate using basic sentence structure. This means short sentences focusing on one topic or subject at a time.

2. Use simple words as all languages have these and keep the sentences short. This makes it easy for Google to translate your words into other languages.

3. Most people understand what is being told to them if you speak to them at a fifth to eighth grade educational level. So no big or fancy words need to be used.

4. Answer the person's question simply and directly. Don't try to interpret what they want to know or add a lot to the conversation. If you do not understand what they want, ask them to explain. Keep in mind you can always end with "anything else you need" or "do you have any additional questions".

5. Ask if they understand your answer and let them know that they can always contact you if they need more help or need more explanation.

If you are communicating, which is the exchange of ideas or information, and the other person understands, then you have good skills.

Have a great day.

The answer is not to focus on why you feel frustrated because you are not getting a response but to focus on what you can do and show your group. Remember this is a business and not everyone will respond. Here are some things you can try.

1. Show them. First and foremost do the best you can at all times and set a positive example of what can be achieved in SFI. Your success sets the example and shows your group they can do it too. Don't be surprised if your group looks you up and checks your results.

2. Tell them in a different way each time you communicate. When I was a trainer working for a company, the first thing I learned is that people receive and process information very differently than you think they will. So find different ways of presenting information which allows them to learn and digest it at their own pace and in their own way. For example, provide tips, write short emails discussing only one subject, do a Q&A email on one topic, provide links to resource information or the forum.

3. Let them know you care. Remember "people don't know you care until they see that you care?" Find ways to relate on a personal level by sharing your business building struggles then provide tips of how you over came them. They will use your tips to succeed.

4. Communicate, communicate, communicate to everyone. Today's 'sleeper' could become tomorrows 'super star' so communicate to everyone equally.

5. Always end your communication with an open invitation for them to contact you if they need help.

6. Don't take it personally if they do not respond. Everyone is busy and life has a habit of getting in the way. Just stay consistent in your communication and encouragement and those who have a spark of a dream will someday respond.

Now take a deep breath and get busy.

When you initiate a chat with a new PSA remember that since they are new, they 'do not know what they do not know'.

Most of the time we are tempted to ask what questions they have and are disappointed when they don't respond. They "do not know what they do not know" but feel they should be asking a question because you are asking them. If they feel bad or pressured, you run the risk of them ending the conversation even before it has begun.

Do Not start with "Do you have any questions" because the response will likely be "no or no not yet".

Start with a warm welcome to SFI and that you are glad they are part of your team. Ask about them, for example, why did they join SFI or TripleClicks. What do they think of SFI or TripleClicks so far? Or, let me tell you what you can expect from us. Don't ask what they need from you, they do not know the answer yet.

Once you go through these basics, you can start with asking questions around the 3 Simplified Steps for building the business.

Step 1. Become an Executive Affiliate - ask them if they have set up a standing order 1500 Versa Points or if they have decided how they want to approach getting to Executive Affiliate. Tell them that is where they start making money.

Step 2. Recruit five affiliates - ask them what would they need to recruit five affiliates using the Marketing Methods listed under the Marketing Header.

Step 3. Teach your five affiliated to do the same - ask them if they understand duplication and can they teach their new affiliates to do what they are doing. Point out what you are doing with them is duplication and they will see how simple it is.

That's it. Remember while you might be able to cover this in one conversation, we would recommend you break it up in several conversations. Ask them to work on one point and ask when they want to back together.

Tip: The purpose of a conversation or communication with them is to share information and agree when you will communicate with them again. Repeat these steps each time you get together.

Follow this simple plan and yoru team will want to communicate with you. Right? Yes, Yes, Yes!
