I would tell everyone that cyber attacks can happen at any successful organizations such as SFI and Triple Clicks. Although the attack was a bit troublesome it made the owners of this organization realize that the security they had was vulnerable and needed to be updated. And, they have diligently accomplished that mission.

Their quick actions, when the attack was discovered, prevented catastrophic results. None of the Affiliates personal information was jeopardized. That alone is very reassuring and, although the attack happened, the security that was in placed kept the attacker from completely penetrating sensitive areas.

Discovering the attack is very commendable as it was probably designed to be so minute, not very noticeable. They can see how Gery and his staff were closely monitoring the activities within SFI and Triple Clicks. They did not wait to take actions.

I will point out to them that I, myself, feel secured that Gery and his staff will protect my information. I've seen how quickly they responded to the attack and feel more assured that they now have the best security system implemented. Because now they are more educated and aware that they can't take anything out of ordinary for granted.

I will further point out that Cyber attacks can happen at any time with any organization they do business with. There are individuals out there that have nothing to do but to create havoc. So, as they utilize the internet to buy or sell they can do their part by implementing their own security such as having the bank, creditors, etc. notify the, of any suspicious transactions and to monitor their own accounts’ transactions.

As I am setting up my own ECA products, the one advise I would give them is to read through the "Do's and Don't" regarding products to put on their site. Read SFI's guidelines.
As far as the pricing of their products I would tell them to do research specially if the product is common. I would refer them to EBay or Amazon to see how much their common product is going for. They need to be competitive with the market otherwise nobody will buy from them if they can get it elsewhere much cheaper. They can't sell their product at a loss however. They need to include in their price a modest profit and the cost of shipping the product, and SFI's 15%.

With that said, I would advise them to not sell product that big organization such as EBay or Amazon sells as they probably keep product in bulk and can sell them cheaper unless they too have them in inventory. If so, they can compete. If not have a product that is unique, is not a trend.

My answer to this question is yes. Sponsors can create a forum page specifically for people of the same country. Here people of same country that speaks the same language can feel at home and can brain storm about SFI, and easily share or exchange ideas. You can easily create this forum page using Facebook.

While English is a universal language not everyone specially from other countries can speak it or understand it fluently. There is always a risk in loosing the meaning during translation. Misunderstanding occurs and if an Affiliate stays confused he/she will lose the motivation. It's like when telling a joke. you must tell it just right, miss the punch line... nobody laughs and you lose your audience.

There is no harm in it in my opinion, it can only help. It is almost a must and duty for Sponsors to make a forum page or a web seminars for its members who speaks the same language.

The problems facing the older generations these days are a) does not have enough money in their retirement funds if they have one at all, to sustain them the rest of their lives b)statistically people these days are living longer and c)in this day and age of technology there are many who are afraid or are not computer savvy. We need to approach this cautiously cause many of seniors live on a limited income and they will surely quit once they are faced with extra expenses. So, be honest with them what this business entails so they are well informed. Many of our seniors are being taken advantage of these days so you really need to be honest and sincere of your intentions.

There are a lot of online business opportunities out there so what is it about SFI?
1) I would first let them imagine being able to earn income working from home, setting their own hours,having the time to spend with families and friends
2) In presenting SFI I would point out that it's free to join. That they will have the support,the guidance, and all the tools they need to succeed. Talk to them about the Founder of this organization, his background, etc.
3) Give examples or testimonies from people of their own age who are in the business.
4) Be honest with them of what this business entails, i.e. out of pocket expenses. After all, nothing in life is free and they know that. The more honest you are the likelihood of joining is high. Talk to them about Triple Clicks. How they can purchase some of the products they normally buy on line...give examples of different ECA's (locally) they can buy from, saving money on time and gas.
5) Discuss with them the simplicities of running their SFI business, that they don't have to be computer gurus.
These are just some ideas I can think of. But, the bottom line is be honest and sincere about helping them. Why they can benefit from having their own home based business. Don't be aggressive, that will just give them a red flag of your intentions. Put yourself in their shoes.

This is a very good question by the way.

First impression is everything in any business. Your picture is your business’ signature.
Your picture should be inviting. You don’t have to be in a business suit. The attire should be colorful not black or gray. Pay attention to your hair and don’t forget to crack a little smile…remember you are trying to attract people to your business.

What should new affiliates NOT do in their first month"
1) They should not ignore their sponsors. Many new Affiliates refuses to communicate with their sponsors. Their sponsors have more experience and may can offer ideas and/or advise.
2) They should not think they can succeed on their own. Many successful people would not be where they are had they not have had the help of people more experience than they are.
3) They should not consider asking questions or for help a sign of their inabilities to know what SFI is all about. They should not let pride get in between them and their goal
4) They should not rush through the Lessons just so they can earn the VP points or get the “Fast Track”, “EA”, “BTL”, etc. status. There is so much to learn and rushing through is a chance of missing important notes on how to succeeds in SFI. It’s like getting ready for a test in school. If you don’t take the time to read and study don’t expect to have high grades.
5) They should not take SFI as a fast money making, overnight success. Success is not something that happens overnight. It takes time, work, perseverance, confidence, etc.
6) They should not do the Launch Pad Lessons in one day but rather do them daily in order to learn and fully take in the Lessons.
7) They should not have it in their minds that success does not take financial investments. What is great about SFI is that you are not forever having to pay just to get to the next level as with other businesses. It takes money to make money as the saying goes.
8) They should not skip a day from their business. The first month is very important in ensuring that they get themselves trained to logging on daily. Not taking the business as a real business is detrimental to the growth of their business. This is the time that they are developing the “habit” of working their business.
9) They should not let doubt enter in their minds. The need to be confident, have faith and believe. Doubt cannot co-exist with confident. “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”
10) They should not skip around or choose which tasks to complete. They should do it in order as listed. There is a reason why the tasks are set up that way.
And, they should not avoid reading the Rules of Success.

Mountains are climbed step by step.
