Hi, I think SFI's proven track record and market stability is a huge factor and this had been confirmed by other affilliates posting answers to your questions.

What is significant for me is SFI's "online-ness". It looks and feels as if I am building an online business. I can manage my business "on-the-go".

Having experience with one other network marketing business, the other factors that attracted me to SFI (after not giving SFI as much as a glance for nearly two weeks), was the opportunity to sell your own products through TripleClicks and the opportunity to list your favourite eCommerce Associate (ECA) as a TripleClicks partner, increasing your chances of earning a commission.

Kind Regards

Dear Michael. It is possible that your sponsor's or coSponsor's mother tongue is not English and it is difficult for him/her to communicate with you. Secondly, as another post mentioned, your sponsor could be a new affiliate, but he/she should inform you that they are new and does not know anything. Thirdly, if you receive no joy from your sponsor then it is perfectly acceptable to contact the next person in your upline, or ask relevant questions in the forum, a2a members are a good source of information too.
kind regards.

When they rate you, do they give feedback as to why they are rating you down?

Because ---
It could be highly possible that these PSAs are not very successful in applying what they should have learned from the SFI training materials while they are studying them, despite your unconditional support. And they may feel that you are to blame.

What they need to realize is that supposedly only 3% out of 97% of the 7 billion people on earth succeed in whatever they set their minds to. It is very often the deliberate and conscious steps those in the 3% bracket take that ensure success.

Therefore your PSAs cannot continue to tie success of their SFI business directly to you. They need to decide whether they are "opportunity creators" or "opportunity consumers".

If you believe that you are dotting every i and crossing every t where Sponsor support is concerned, then it is understandable that you are concerned, because their rating is directly responsible for you attaining a certain rank or level.

My biggest challenge/ obstacle to succeeding with SFI is myself. I was told by my spouse that I am wasting my time with SFI.

Truth be told, when the PSA and CSA, quit or never gets started, I do get despondend and I feel like giving up.

However, I am adamant to persist, and, to learn to grow personally and to succeed. Then, to help others grow personally.

I carefully and diligently read through the SFI training and other resources. And it really helps not to reinvent the wheel, but to stick to the script and keep things simple.


I am still learning, things, more every day.

The best way to handle people with a strong need for instant gratification, is to ask them to opt out of your business. Your time and commitment to building your own business is too precious to waste on these types.

SFI is not for those who want to get rich quick, but for people who are serious about building a long term business that will be sustainable in the long run.

Having said this, one needs to know when to invest in your business and how. You cannot build a business running on empty and expect to make money.

SFI Affiliate Quantity vs Quality Sign Ups

SFI is your business and how you approach it is entirely up to you. It also depends on how well you relate to other people.
In affiliate marketing there are various approaches and it depends entirely on your goal. Choosing an approach that suits you also depends on your personality and leadership ability.

Example: Affiliate Type A is comfortable with quantity. S/he prefers to cast the net wide and catch a lot of sign ups. Some sign ups will be good. Others will be duds, but you are hoping that your and SFI's marketing techniques and aids would have done the trick.

THE QUANTITY APPROACH:
PRO's
A lot of sign ups in a short amount of time.
You will increase your PSA’s quickly.
CON's
Not all of the sign ups will be good.
You will find that you still have to convince them that SFI is the business for them before you can motivate, develop and train your PSA.

Example: Affiliate Type B prefers to “hand pick” the people s/he wants on her/his team. It is like having to interview prospective candidates and choosing those best suited for the job at hand.

THE QUALITY APPROACH:
PRO's
You have a measure of control over whom you bring into your team.
It will be easier to motivate, develop and train that affiliate to duplicate what you are doing, because you will have a measure of credibility.
CON's
Your business grows slowly.
You need a thick skin and the gift of the gab, because you may have to talk to a lot of people before you can get a single sign up.
You may have to spend more time than average building a solid down line.


Either way most affiliates will agree that it helps to use a combination - getting quantity and quality. This means, that it becomes necessary for you as an Affiliate to know your own goals for starting an SFI business. You may also find that you need focus on getting to know yourself really well and to develop your learning character and leadership skills simultaneously. You may need to consciously do things to develop and create better habits, like reading books that will help you grow in confidence. If you know yourself, it will be easier for you to identify with and influence other people and to help them make better decisions.

Always, Remember to be open and honest.
