Most persons would advise that you wait until you have learnt enough about the business and is able to coach others based on your knowledge and experience.

I would say as soon as you have the resource to invest in the purchase either by participating in the auctions or by purchase of S-Builder Units.

It is my firm belief that you would learn in a more meaningful way through helping others.

There is nothing that says you must know all before you can help others. You

The best way to motivate such affiliates is to help them identify the time of that is best for them to access the internet with the least possibilities of being interrupted.

Mark and blot that time on his or her daily schedule or appointments calendar and communicate to every one that he or she will not be available for that window of time each day unless there is an emergency that is a matter of life and death.

Explain to him or her that it is imperative that they stick to

If the ability to speak English was a criteria for becoming an Affiliate at SFI the I in the corporation's name would have to be replaced. Smile! On a more serious note, the English language nor internet experience should pose any serious threat to sponsoring affiliates that have limitations in either area. Use of the internet is more self taught than any other computer based skill that persons are required to develop. The more you use it the better you become. So it is with the English language.

Depending on the time you have to spend in preparing your advertisement, I suggest that you advertise both individual products as well as the entire TripleClicks store. There is a wide market out there that you can tap in to; filled with customers with varied interest. The medium you use to market products will also help you to determine which product to advertise based on the target audience of the site. There are benefits to be gained from doing both. The only limitation might be the resources,

Cold calling can definitely be a useful tool for attracting new PSAs; when used judiciously. Meaning, expect rejections and be prepared to respond rejections respectfully. Some persons will welcome the opportunity afforded by cold calling if your opening sentence is one that grasp their attention. Others, because of prior bad experiences with telemarketers, will shut you down instantly. Be sure to be polite to all contacts that you initiate, regardless of the response.

I think cold calling

You should indeed promote participation in Pricebenders Auctions to your team. There are many reasons but the ones that jumps out are the MRPs and AVPs the team members will earn from participation that will go towards them meeting their goals for maintain EA status or above.

Furthermore, the possibility of winning the auction and acquiring items of interest at a 80 to 95% savings on the actual price of the item.

Every affiliate stands to gain from participating in the Pricebenders

Yours is a very interesting question and somewhat difficult to answer. Nevertheless I think the answer to this questions is simply it depends.
What does it depend on?
It depends on the quality of the affiliates you sponsor.
Those of us who have been affiliates for 3 months or more know that you can sponsor hundreds of affiliates monthly some do so on a daily or weekly basis but the turn over is rapid.
The rapid turnover is based on the interest of the sponsored affiliate; what

For anyone to become serious about something, they first understand it. The same applies to becoming a serious business builder at SFI.

So, your first step is to explain what SFI is all about and promote the educational tools provided in helping your prospects to gain a clear understanding about the business.

Secondly, you must be able to demonstrate that what you claim is actually true; by becoming a serious business builder yourself.

There is a saying that: people
