What is the quickest way to advance from affiliate … all the way to Diamond Team Leader (DTL)?

Briefly there are two things you need to do: -

1. You need personal sales/purchases each month of 1,500 VP (SVP).

I suggest the easiest (and quickest) way to do this is to establish a budget of $36.25 per month and invest that in a Standing Order (SO) of one pack of 125 TCredits.

That is not very onerous, is it? The cost is less than $1.20 per day – less

When should I start buying PSAs?

My best advice is: - Do it IMMEDIATELY - as soon as you can?

This is the biggest mistake I made when I first joined SFI, over two years ago. I concentrated on developing myself - my knowledge and understanding of SFI.

I was pretty nervous about SFI at first too. Was it for real or just a scam? And I wasn’t prepared to speak about SFI to other people until I had convinced myself that SFI was a genuine business and a GREAT opportunity.

Yes,

Your sponsor must be so pleased with you, Avinash! Not only are you EA2 but you wish to go further. Good on you. That’s the spirit. Keep on, you will do well in SFI.

My advice is – “AIM HIGH – DREAM BIG!” (The SFI motto.) And we should all adopt this for ourselves too. But the reality of the situation is that we must work within our means and at our own pace.

This is what I have sent out to my PSAs.

You can decide how good it is.
And please feel free to use it and/or change it in any way you like.

I want my PSAs to know that this program requires them to commit and work. I don't want to hide that from them. Hence I am asking them to "step up to the plate."

I hope I will get a response.

What do I say to an affiliate who complains he's not getting as much out of SFI as he's putting into it?

What do I say to an affiliate who complains he’s not getting as much out of SFI as he’s putting into it?

You have a great affiliate there! At least he is “putting into it”, almost all affiliates who sign up don’t do anything. So, you have a worker – work with him.

This is what I do: -

1. First I congratulate him for being active and trying. It is important that we always be encouraging.
2. Then I tell him my own thoughts when I first started in SFI.

What is the advantage of becoming an ECA...and if I become one, how does it help my SFI business?

TripleClicks is the heartbeat of SFI. It is only by selling the products and services listed in the TripleClicks Superstore that we earn commissions.

Any product or service listed on TripleClicks is either a SFI product or one supplied through an ECA. Hence ECA are essential to TripleClicks success.

So what about me? With over 114,000 products and services currently on sale at TripleClicks why can’t I just market those? What’s in it for me?

Here is a few things

An affiliate logs in after a long period of inactivity. Should I acknowledge this? And if so, what should I say?

Yes, you should acknowledge this. In fact I have found it to be a great way to actually get one of my team to reply to me.

The first thing I do is send them an E-Card, here is an example of one I recently sent out,

“Welcome back, (name).
SFI is definitely worth checking out again. This time I hope you decide to "give it a go" by consistently logging in and doing the 12 daily tasks. If I can help you, please let me know.”

When the security threat was first mentioned to us I immediately followed the instructions given and re-verified my computer and mobile for SFI use. And, as requested, I also changed my password. I have had no problems since then.

We were also asked to reassure our downline. This I did in a Stream Post and in my next weekly TeamMail to all my PSAs and CSAs. I include it here because I think it will probably adequately answer Narine’s question.

Should I be assisting new ECAs I've referred to set up their store and products? If yes, how best can I assist them?

Yes, you should. The type of assistance you give will vary from ECA to ECA and from product to product. But you should be there for them to help in any way needed.

The first thing I did was set up my own ECA store and list a product. The reason was two fold. I see my own shop as being one string in my SFI bow. And I wanted to find out how to do it so I could best help businesses I approached to become ECAs.

But before I set up my ECA I had to have a vehicle through which to

WOW! How lucky your sponsor is to have someone prepared to spend time (daily) and money on their SFI business!

Let me say that I think your commitment IS enough to start building your SFI business. So, what do I advice?

First the money:

1. Don’t muck around – purchase 1 pack of 125 TCredits as early in the month as you can. The cost is $36.25.
