Hi Hillari!

I am glad you asked that question because I have a great answer for you! This answer is just fresh from the oven, so to say because it happened just a week ago to me.

I'm just thanking God and lapping up all the great prizes I've won. This stuff is great to use for validating the benefits of the SFI business to prospects and new affiliates.

I won the Card King Zackpot. The final Zackpot was 2632 TCredits. My share was 18 TCredits (can be much bigger on other days).
I won 2 TCredits for the T-Time game the same day + free MRP and AVP's too! A total of 20 TCredits in one day for me to use just as I wish to - play more Eager Zebra games or participate in PriceBender Auctions or buy products from TripleClicks or transfer some of the booty to my team members who did not have any TCredits in their account.

So I said to myself, I seem to be on a roll and can't wait to play some more!

So I went ahead and I also won 20 TCredits in the TripleClicks Gift Card DistribuSTAR Drawing A total of 44 TCredits in just 2 days! I also won 10 CSA's in the DAILY GRAND Drawing and 4 T-Credits Flash Drawing for FREE TCredits in PriceBender Autions!

You can always find plenty of such examples of Affiliates winning great prizes on the Forum under various categories but more in the Eager Zebra, Compensation, Inspiration/Testimonials, etc categories. Just ask your team members to get a first hand account from all the affiliates who have benefited like me from playing Eager Zebra Games. However, the best way to demonstrate the benefits to your team members would be for you to participate in the games yourself and give them proof of your winnings.

SFI has many ways to compensate affiliates for their participation in all actions besides Eager Zebra Games. I hope this is helpful.

So go ahead and enjoy yourself playing all the wonderful Eager Zebra Games and spread the cheer to your own team members and all other affiliates too! These games are great "stress busters"!

Hello Sunmonu!

At the outset, I'd like to mention that you are in a great situation to succeed in a reasonable time in growing your SFI business if you can invest $50 and have an hour to work on it. I have just completed one year with SFI on 31st October and have been working on similar lines (though there have been days when I've had to spend more than an hour too). I have managed to have a 11 month EA Streak, build up a downline of 45 PSA's and maintain BTL status almost through out. The suggested actions are listed below:

Invest in:
TCredits - 125 pack -- Special Standing Order only, $36.25 (reg. price $52.50) - this will help you maintain your EA status and also afford the luxury of using 2 to 3 TCredits everyday to participate in Eager Zebra Games and PB Auctions. You would also be in a position to reward some PSA who is performing extraordinarily well and deserves a reward of 5 TCredits to motivate him or her.

The Daily Actions will take you about 30 minutes. Once done, utilise 15 minutes to send out E Cards to motivate your downline and to send out invitations to your contacts to join your team. The balance 15 minutes should be used to send out invites to potential Local ECA's whom you need to recruit to earn lifelong Royalty income from their sales.

In order to make maximum mileage of the one hour you have daily, you will need to have standard formats for the invitation mailers or standard scripts for making telephone calls to your contacts where you can just change the names of the prospects. The same applies to the ECA referral invites.

Now, from the balance amount of $13.75, you could buy a Gift Certificate of $10 and use it to motivate your ECA's or PRM's to get used to spending at TripleClicks. The balance $3.75 can be used to order products for yourself with Free Shipping from various ECA's from all over the world which wil also fetch you 25VP for each product review.

This is a brief suggested list but can be varied on a monthly basis by replacing the Gift Certificates purchase with an Order for TripleClicks Gift Cards--30 cards for about $30 once in 3 months to stay within your average monthly budget.

Finally, if you can duplicate this method of work with 5 of your PSA and CSA affiliates, you can very well be a great success in your SFI business. It would also be useful if you could put in 2 to 3 hours on weekends if possible to give personal attention to outstanding performers in your downline and ECA's as you can grow only if they grow.

Trust this is helpful.

Hello Snezana!

You have prbably received enough responses to your question but I'm going to add my two bit to those too.

One of the best ways to help your PSA's who have no money to invest is to send them a Gift Certificate in the early days of their joining SFI. At the outset, you need to qualify the person as someone whom you you can rely on. Then you need to explain to them that you are prepared to help them with the minimum investments required for them to grow their business provided they are willing to accept the responsibility to work as advised by you till they are able to do it on their own. You should also get a commitment from them to take necessary actions to sponsor at least 5 PSA's and 5 PRM's every month from their own list of prospects with your help. Next, help them to get to EA level in the first month without any investment. It is in the second month that they would require their help to get to EA2. If they have even 3 active PSA's & 3 PRM's and 3 ECA's at this stage, they can earn enough to re-invest into the business from the third month.from their earnings. Be willing to guide them on what to buy (TCredits, products with high VP, PB Auctions to bid, games to play, etc).

In my opinion, this would be a simple yet straight forward way to help people with no money to invest. Hope this helps you and all the best!

That is a really interesting and debatable question.

I think any affiliate who considers all the possibilities for generating leads would definitely want to explore this avenue for leads. However, it has two sides to it just as any coin would have. It is purely a personal choice that one makes after weighing the pros & cons. I have attempted to answer this with some aspects of both sides of this question.

The positive aspect is that it opens up a huge, readily available data base of potential affiliates especially if the Directory has category wise listing. We are in a fluid & dynamic economic situation in almost all the countries of the world today and hence we can almost be sure that there would be at least one member in a family who is actively looking for earning an income either full time or part-time in nature. We are also more open now than ever before to working from home because we do not want to battle the traffic getting to work on a daily basis, higher time & cost of travel, exposure to pollution, lifestyle & age related health problems, work place stress & politics and many other factors.

The flip side in my opinion tilts against cold calling because of the following reasons especially for affiliates like us:

1. A cold call is treated as an intrusion by most people because there are so many businesses trying to sell them something or the other on a daily basis. The first reaction of the recipient of the call is to say 'No' irrespective of the product or service.

2. An affiliate who is not very thorough in knowledge about the business can end up being completely frustrated if the responses are negative to his/her cold calls. They are not yet used to hearing a "No" from a prospect unlike a seasoned & experienced Sales person. One has to be a high caliber sales person with a really high level of confidence in self & conviction in the product before attempting a cold call.

3. A Cold call could show the caller in poor light as it may give the recipient of the call that the caller is desperate for leads or prospects. This could also reflect on SFI as a company desperately trying to rope in people for their business.

4. The recipients of the calls could put SFI callers into a slot of 'nuisance value callers' without even taking the time to hear out what the caller has to offer.

5. All of us who have been in affiliate marketing for a while know that a personally referred product or service is much better received when compared to a cold call.

I am sure there are more reasons but I will restrict myself to these for now. In my opinion, a cold call should be used only one we have run out of all other methods to connect with people whom we know or can be referred to by someone before we try cold calls. We all know that PSA's are far more easier to work with than CSA's because of the personal touch involved.

Trust this answer helps you in making the right decision about making cold calls.

Cheers & God bless!

Great question, Natalee. It is important to get a commitment from our new PSA’s and can be done in the following ways that I could think of:

With a PSA, since one is acquainted with the person before he or she signs up, you could explain the major aspects of the SFI business such as duplication, Networking, using contacts, changing the habit of buying from the neighborhood store to online purchases, the residual income generation possibilities, etc.

Approach people who trust you and will take your word for it when you vouch for SFI being an ethical way of earning money for them with some time & effort. You can give them your own example of success in the business if you have already a good track record in SFI or you could show them some of the Testimonials on the SFI website.

Show them a demonstration of how you earn VP everyday by completing your Daily Actions from your To Do List. This will help them see how the VP is added immediately for actions completed. Be open about every aspect about the business including the fact that you will make money only when they succeed and how their success is also dependent on the affiliates they sponsor into their team.

Show them the various products, services, games, auctions, etc available on TripleClicks.com especially with things which you know they love or are excited about.

Always be upfront about the fact that SFI is like other businesses where one needs to put in place smart plans, investment in terms of time, effort & money, be willing to allow your Sponsor to mentor you and be willing to follow the rules strictly to achieve success. Mention the gestation period before they start earning a regular income. This will avoid a situation later where they expect you to do their work for them.

Once you’ve explained the concept, ask a specific question to the effect of “Do you find this interesting”? or “Are you excited about this opportunity”?”‘Do you think this is your cup of tea”? And so on. If there are doubts or objections, handle them right away to avoid the objections which will come up after they’ve joined SFI if not taken care of. If your answer does not satisfy them, go to the related link in SFO or TripleClicks which will help you in addressing their concerns.

Above all, don’t show desperation at any point of your explanation. Be truthful in everything you tell them about the SFI business. Remember that people may have gone through bad experiences earlier in their life and hence may be skeptical. Your role is to present the opportunity to them. Let them make the choice to say yes or no to SFI. You’ve got to be like a fisherman who remembers that there are plenty of fish in the sea and that the biggest or heaviest one need not be the best. Sometimes it is the least likely person according to your estimate who goes on to be the best PSA you’ve sponsored!

There could be some more ways to get a commitment but I guess I’ll let our fellow SFI Affiliates give them to you.

All the best! Trust this was useful.

Cheers!

The answer to this important question can be found in a gem of a verse from the Bible - "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others" - Philippians 2:4. These words were perfectly modeled by Jesus when He walked on earth.

To successfully lead your team you need to not only know where you are going, but also be sure that some part of you is connected into the people supposed to be following your example or lead. Otherwise, it is possible that we may have set ourselves very high goals without really practicing or achieving them first, because nobody is following us. Confucius said, "a leader without followers is just a person going for a walk".

A team member can have a strong relationship and connection with the rest of the team as a Leader only when he or she proves to them by reaching goals & targets as a team player first. A team member who acts with a servant-leadership attitude by not letting his or her position or pride in abilities do not get in the way is essential to one who wants to take on the role of a leader. A team member can lead others in a manner that together everyone achieves their goals.
A good example is again found in the life of Jesus when He was teaching the huge mass of people who were following him around to listen to His teachings. He did not forget to feed them when they were hungry. He showed how could don the important role of a team member and still be a leader.

The same principle applies to our SFI and TripleClicks business as well.

Trust this answer is helpful.
