Hi Mary,

To answer your question I think you need to establish just How Active these people actually were. This you can do by checking on your genealogy tab.

If they had been completing their Daily To Do List daily, their monthly and intermediate tasks, participating in the Eager Zebra games, bidding on Price Benders, have set up a Standing Order, distributed gift cards, signed up PSA's,sold anything on their TConnect page, become a Wave3 member, become an a2a member. This is

Personnel emails I believe are the most affective way to communicate provided that the address given is genuine. This however can be time consuming unless you have a standard content that you can send to all your down line providing it doesn't sound too much like telemarketing. Also use your Genealogy Report. This will provide you with everything you need, to communicate with your team.Do your research as this is one of the many tools that SFI have provided to help affiliates to progress in this

This is what I send my new affiliates, obviously with the initial introduction and welcome.

Your first goal is to become a Fast Track Member. To get the Fast-Track silver badge you need to complete 5 small tasks,(see your Getting Started Tasks), and for the gold badge you need to do the above and in addition you need to generate $20 in sales or purchases which can be achieved easily with a $20 New Member Pack that is also available during the first 10 days as an SFI affiliate or TripleClicks

It is my opinion that the majority of people who sign up for SFI are merely just having a look. On finding out that you actually have to put in some work and effort and not make a quick buck by doing nothing puts them off.

It has been my experience in the short period of time that I have been with SFI that those who enrol and do not even fill in their profile are really not serious and are going to be very difficult to try and convince to work the business, regardless of your efforts to

It seems that the focus here is on the countries that have the most sign ups of new affiliates. I believe that the focus should be on how many of those sign ups actually reach the rank of EA2. In this respect I think that the current statistics would drastically change.

Don't worry about which country has the most sign ups. Focus on your own country where you have something in common with the people. Where your friends and family are and where you can communicate with like minded people

I think one of the most important aspects of becoming a Fast Track member is that it is only a one time opportunity and what needs to emphasised is:

If it is not taken within the 10 day window from the date of sign up all the benefits are gone forever!! Like 250 Bonus VPs, 30 Free entries in the Daily Grand Drawing,10% Fast-Track bonus shares of the TripleClicks Executive pool, their name and photo added to our Fast-Track wall of Fame, Fast-Track Member certificate and exclusive Fast-

How do you motivate your downline to spend money monthly to maintain EA status without sounding greedy?

Why would you sound greedy by simply explaining to your down line that the easiest way to maintain EA status is to have a Standing Order for 1500 VPs?

The investment is small but the rewards are huge. Maintaining EA status this way will allow them to focus on other aspects of the SFI business, like duplication and building their own down line, advertising, setting up their own web site or blog etc., without having the stress and worry of where and how to get VPs to attain EA status.

Looking at your down line members VP Ledger would be a good place to start. From here you will be able to ascertain if they are doing their To Do List daily, if they are using the forum regularly, if they are participating in any of the Eager Zebra games and Pricebenders auctions, downloading music etc. as well as if they have a 1500 VP standing order. Are they receiving VPs for support of EA 2s in their down line

Another indication is their home page. From the badges did they achieve

The word demographic if used as a singular noun is described as follows. (Business) In business, a demographic is a group of people in a society, especially people in a particular age group.

So to answer your question. Retired persons in this case fit the bill. Home maker? I am not sure what you mean by a Home Maker. Are they house wives, house husbands, students working from home, people with a current home business.

If the above is the case then one would assume that homemakers
