How do you explain to team members why VersaPoints appear to reset to zero at the start of each month?

I explain it like this
Your versa points will reset to zero every month, because it is like a monthly time card. But more importantly that reset starts a new process for the next month. You can actually record your progress using your own methods and see what is working or not working for you. And you will soon find out that if you don't show up for work you will not get paid.
Taking that in mind, when you start a new position you normally don't start at the top making the big bucks. SFI, same thing! You have to show up everyday, do the work, put in the time, and then you will get paid. So try to submit your time card with more hours and complete all the work everyday, every month!

How often should I communicate with my Sponsor and Co-Sponsor?

My experience is when ever necessary.
When my sponsor was assigned to me, he contacted me right away. I was glad he did, because it let me know that this business has integrity. Then off and on I got in touch with him when I needed some help with some thing I couldn't figure out.
As it stands now he just let's me go on my own and checks in with me now and then. I understand that he has his own obligations as well as I, so we don't make it a regular communication habit. All in all, we touch base about once a month, but we read each others stream and email on a regular basis.
In so saying, communication can be on a regular basis, if you really get to know your sponsor and build a friendly relationship with them. Or you can do as I do and make contact when it's really necessary. But the choice would come from how comfortable you are in the communication.
Hope this helps.

How do you handle prospects and affiliates who expect to get rich fast?

From my experience of being in SFI, I would say the best thing to do is to be 100% honest with them.
I think it is vitally important to tell them that this is in no way a "Get Rich Scheme." In this business it will take a commitment from you to put in your time, learn about the business, and plan how you want to operate your business. This is not an overnight thing where you can just sit back and expect the business to perform for you.
In the beginning it may be easy the first two months, but after that it will take determination and persistence from you to make EA every month. Now let's not get it wrong, some have the finances to buy their way to the top. But there are some (self included), who have to set realistic goals each month and work to meet those goals.
All in all, you get a real sense of accomplishment. On top of that you will begin to see your commissions build and from there you just keep going until you reach the goal you set from day one. If you can see your future from this you will push on to reach that goal and beyond.
Hope this helps.

I am not very good at talking to people. How can I talk to them about SFI or TripleClicks in a simple and easy way?

Hi Nurul,
I was a little shy at talking about somethings to people as well. Although SFI has many marketing materials, this helped me a lot, because it was my work for my business in SFI. So thinking out of the box, I created a small brochure (sort of like a church tract) and carried some of them with me.
I had information about all the things of SFI I was passionate about. I also asked myself, what would someone ask about SFI, that I could put into the brochure? So behind the first page, I listed some of the benefits of SFI. https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart
The next page I had information about TripleClicks, http://www.tripleclicks.com/
And on the final page I had my contact information in case they wanted more information later on down the line. I had one friend come back to ask me how the business is going and that they are really considering signing up.
I'm a firm believer that once I get my Payoneer Card, that will seal the deal with a few people I've given my little brochure to. As a small tip with strangers. When I overhear a conversation in reference to having their own business. I walk up to them and say, "Excuse me I overheard your conversation and wanted to give you this gift!" I hand them my brochure and quietly walk away.
Hope this helps!

Which is better...doing two separate blogs about SFI and TripleClicks...or a single blog about BOTH?

Just saying!
I believe that one is sufficient enough, if you know how to link all the elements together. SFI has explained to me what all of the components of the business are in the Launchpad. So I started a blog and found that with the information I received in SFI, I can also go through the same methods.
For me it is one blog. But if you have blogging experience and can contribute the time to do two blogs, then go for it. But I have to caution you. Sometimes when we are into our blogs we may find a blogging block. In other words we may find it hard to separate the two.
Some may find it easy enough, through practice and experience to do both, but I think that even they have a block. Not that I am very experienced with blogging, but I find that one blog is working.
So my final analysis about this is, if you can maintain the thought pattern for two, go for it. But if you are new at blogging, try one. Then maybe later on down the line you can create a new blog separating the two. Which means that you can fly as high as you want, as long as you can relate to what people are trending. Get to that point and I can see you making big leaps in your business.

How do I convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses?

I personally don't think you have to convince anyone about SFI. But I will say this If they are tired of having to listen to a video that asks for money up front for their program, then SFI might be interesting to them.
If they are sick of hearing how you can make huge amounts of money while you sleep, only to find out that they have to give up a lot of money for a program that is not guaranteed. (Read the disclaimers). Then SFI might be for them.
If they want to test drive a business for as long as they want without having to spending a dime, and get free extensive training then SFI might be for them.
I think they might think that it is too good to be true, but real testimonies from real people seem to be pretty convincing.

What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month?

From what I see new affiliates should not commit themselves to this if they don't take this as a real business. Although it is a gift they should have and maintain the attitude that it is going to take work to get where I need and want to be.
If they gain the attitude that I can get fired if I don't do my job, and believe just that, then they may go very far in this business. I am finding out that patience and everyday work is beginning to pay off. My attitude is this: If this is what I'm seeing now, imagine two, three years from now! Then all I can say after that thought is WOW!
