Hi Ana, it is better NOT to suffocate your prospects with too many details per time.
If you do, you get your prospects bored with so many things. From experience, this is my observation. Rather, choose to pick the information to pass across to them based on the circumstance that comes per time. For instance, a prospect who has been in the business for a while will need advise and leading on how he/she can make the most out of SFI. This you can do by checking the VPledger of individual prospects

Hi Deniece, the life of any business is knowledge. What you don't know you can't practice.
However, you must first be an ardent user of this tool before you can talk to others about it.
To demonstrate to your team members the importance of accessing training materials at the SFI home page do the following:

1. Always share new ideas from what you read with your team members.
2. Use web address link in your communication with them sometimes e.g http://www.sfimg.com/FT

What would be a better goal and why? Sponsor hundreds of new PSAs every year or teach a smaller number of EAs to each develop EAs themselves?

Hi Ryan, I think there is just only one way to get people under you in SFI; and that is by sponsoring. To teach a small number of EAs as you said will start with sponsoring them first. Only when they become your PSAs that you can now talk of teaching or helping them to achieve EA status. So your goal should be sponsoring. The following are ways through which you can acquire new PSAs:

1. Get new PSAs from Pricebender auctions.
2. Buy PSAs from tripleClicks PSAs TO GO.
3. Set up

Hi Slavica, wining a pricebender auction requires adequate preparations. The following points are my tested tips:

1. Read all the FAQs so you're familiar with how Pricebender works.
2. Check how competitive the auction is. If too competitive don't join.
3. Don't immediately join the auction if fresh or just starting, so you can save some Tcredits for the actual war later.
4. Review previous pricebender auctions for the final wining price, so you have a guide when to join.
5.

Hi Julito, the wining word in this business is NEVER GIVE UP.
I will advice you to keep sending. Why?

1. Motivation and words of encouragement are the only way to get inactive PSAs and CSAs back to work.
2. They are just like a seed you burry in the soil, which one will prosper you don't know.
3. Every effort you put in this business is rewarded, they will bounce back one day if you keep talking to them.
4. A number of these inactive affiliates just need someone to

Good day Natalee, I must let you know that getting new PSAs to be committed
requires wisdom and intelligence. Three things you should look into include:

A. Your approach in introducing the business:
- Tell the truth - avoid words like, get rich quickly e.g make thousands of dollars in two weeks.
- Use selective and well-constructed words.

B. Benefits:
1) Talk to your prospects on the on-going NMP promotion and how it is a timely decision for them as

Hello Alvin, It is important to develop team members into leaders for business to grow.
A business that does not grow the owner will groan. Principally the task of developing
team members into leaders is vested in the team leader. To grow a team, the team leader
should play the following roles:

1. Lead by example in everything you do with them.
2. Welcome them immediately they joining SFI and keep talking to them from then onward.
3. Let your prospects know

Few things readily comes to mind:
1. I will click on "Hey New Affiliate, Not sure how to get started? Click Here!" button at my SFI home page to know what are priority things for me first.

2. I will have a thorough discussion with my sponsor to know how best to succeed in the business.

3. Go through training materials from time to time on how I can improve on myself.

4. Engage in teamwork from day one with my team members because Together Everyone

Hi, the support and encouragement I received from day one in SFI from emails, notifications,alerts and what to do to improve my reward standing, as well as enough reading materials which are in themselves so elaborate on how I can succeed is what is giving me encouragement to continue till date, knowing fully well that the future is bright.
