Hi there,

I am glad you structured your question properly by qualifying what actually happens. The VP "appears" to reset to zero each month. You are actually correct in assessing this event but also slightly wrong because each affiliate is placed on level footing each month to accumulate fresh VP for the new month.

To qualify the appearance of resetting is that you have a total running VP tally which those VP are still added on to your account. However all VP will expire 180 days after issue.

But in specific case to the monthly reset this helps assessed your new actions better for the current month. If each affiliate was judged on the total VP they could accumulate loads of VP in 1, 2 or 3 of their first months and then do nothing after that and be still rewarded for having the highest rank in VP.

This way affiliates recruit more, participate more, share more each month making the network a dynamically growing entity rather than first-ins sitting on top of others actions. It is a truly fair assessment mechanism.

We build better teams that way.

Active roots, branches, stems and lots of productive fruit.

My approach to writing a newsletter here on SFI to my team members employs 2 strategies:

The KISS strategy - Keep It Super Short

and

The REAL strategy - Recurring Experiences Accentuating Learning

I aim to summarize in the most detailed manner ideas that foster duplication but without information redundancy and verbose (that is no unnecessary repetition)

This is done simply by structuring a weekly letter by:

1) Talking about what I have learned in my SFI journey
2) Talking about the latest news (pick up what is new as news.sfimg.com)
3) Talking about a tip or point of reference with no particular focus rather a highlight of an area of the affiliate center (eg. launch-pad, hot-spots, menus, income, reference, marketing, gateways, ledgers, etc. etc. etc. pick any at random)

That's the best way to do it in my opinion.

Hi Ash,

I will address your question directly and the short answer is yes. Locally motivated promotion will be more valuable and give you a more quality affiliate or business prospect however it is not easier than the strong leverage in the use of the Internet which has global reach (which includes your surrounding area).

However I would like to clarify some assumptions made in how your question is structured. Not all local promotion is necessarily personal and not every Internet promotion is global.

We can see this by the specific promotion on your Facebook social network where most of your friends are in your area. So the best of both worlds are had in that you will get a quality prospect with the necessary muscle of an online promotion.

Straight up online promotion is designed to be impersonal but easy by removing the physical effort to duplicate or explain your promotion to your prospect (reaching more people at a time). This must be followed up by personalizing your message by communication.

The best way to approach people face to face is to not think about the approach.

We interact with people each day however if we are thinking about the approach we are then just thinking too much about pitching your SFI Business idea.

Be natural in whatever setting you are and I believe it will come natural what you have to discuss.

My approach is to never assume anything but rather let a genuine conversation ensue.

This is of course different to a planned meet and greet in that case you should work on your presentation as you would for a speech or a lecture. Use cue cards and practice practice.

Reaching 1500 VP in your first month is easy due to many one-time actions such as liking Facebook pages, uploading a profile pic, placing a banner on blogs, reading articles, answering quizzes and generally setting up your account. These are Action VP or AVP. The bulk of the AVP are in one-time actions but there are also daily, weekly and monthly actions.

But in the second month it can be quite difficult to achieve 1500 VP without:

(a) An active downline
(b) An active Standing Order (SO)
(c) Selling products from the super store

Since there are no more one-time actions (probably all used up in month 1) you have to rely on specific actions that focus on sales and team-building. There are a couple one-time actions that won't apply until later in your business development but here are the main actions you will be looking at in month 2.

You get more AVP (100-600) for each referral who reaches EA2 or higher and also you get Sales VP or SVP when you or anyone you refer purchase from the super store. It is encouraged to setup the SO to automate your minimum SVP but also to get 100 AVP for any SO worth 1500 SVP or more.

However most persons do not have money to purchase or don't know how to sell or know how to recruit. This discouragement is what is met in any online business or opportunity:

1. Do I have money to support this or invest in this?
2. Do I have the skill to sell this to others to join me and put their money where they see fit?

That is why I also encourage that you read ALL info that you get in month 1 so that you will be CONFIDENT in month 2 and answer YES and YES!

About the money here is the cut-and-dried approach: Invest in your business, where you see the value and profitability of your spend. As you can see at month 2 investing in an SO has value of maintaining an EA2 or higher status for more benefits for your business, such as co-op manager, downline mailer, re-assignment manager, IM system, cash bonuses, cash shares, team spill-over shares, etc, etc.

Source for Money? Some at this very moment may have no money at all. Do this:

1. Ask family or friends for loan or advance to invest in your online business
2. Set aside money from your offline job
3. Get a job!
4. Do simple online jobs to make at least the minimum investment you want to make

The best way to track your ads is to use SFI key codes. I recommend using a legend where you can monitor ad groups per particular sites.

For example 1XXX can represent ads placed on one site from banners, text ads etc. listing each from 1001, 1002 and so on while 2XXX is another ad group. All the while taking care to avoid pre-defined system codes see https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/KeyCodeTracking for more details.

Also for PRMs, PSAs/ECAs recruits you can start from 0 and count up to keep track of ads sent to prospects.

If you use a blog or personal website to place your ads you can also get additional tracking information from Google Analytics.

Generally any new prospect joining SFI knows the type of business they are getting in to: Home Business based on E-commerce. If the business model of SFI has been misrepresented in any way your ideal goal is to present that model to them. A good way to demonstrate that is to present them the comparison chart: https://www.sfimg.com/ReviewSIM/SFIComparisonChart.pdf

Avoid using a tone that says "you have to" or "you must" but rather "you will be able to" and "you will get to"!

I always promote SFI as a series of simple tasks to residual business income. Also a peaceful and exciting journey in owning your own business where everything from recruitment to investment is covered in easy to understand steps and the best part is you can work your way up.

In developing your team you should always use the Genealogy Tools provided such as Team Mailer and Affiliate Snapshot to communicate with your team. Also the stream and A2A messaging will help with your wider community. However as your team grows you will need to keep track of them with a more investigative approach. Take notes on working emails and other forms of contact mainly social media and telephone, Use these backups to communicate effectively. I always find the best technique outside of Affiliate center is email, the text message, then social media.

Also, build your list by leaving your own contact info in all your messages.

In addition to using your JMT gateway for most of your prospects a very nicely written sales letter or ad should explain what I am about to tell you:

TC e-store is a rapidly growing and worldwide e-commerce solution for individuals and small businesses to sell used items as well as new products and services. It carries a wide array of products much like top line portals such as Amazon, E-bay and others.

My relationship to the e-store is that I affiliate this portal as my own personal business helping individuals and small business sell their products and services through the TC portal. Individuals also have the ability to become an affiliate of this personal referral network (SFI) that grows the e-store.

Once an affiliate or even just a member of the e-store you get great discounts and also the ability to sell your household items (as a listing) or have a mini-store in the portal as an E-Commerce Associate (ECA) and sell your products and services.

Auctions and Games make the e-store portal unique and gives even greater discounts seen nowhere else online.

SFI owns the TC portal and uses affiliation to grow the e-store portal. Affiliates are especially rewarded through residual income in a tiered affiliate system when they recruit other affiliates (ECAs and just personally sponsored affiliates, PSAs) and TC personally referred members (PRMs).

Affiliates are also rewarded for learning the system by accumulating points through actions of reading, connecting, leading, investing and teaching all leading up to ranked levels of Team leader status for even more monetary rewards.

As a Team Leader in SFI my job is to help you duplicate the business that I do in addition to E-commerce Solutions, I guide you through the affiliate system which on its own is self-explanatory but I provide the human element of aid.

The best way to encourage useful and meaningful spending in your downline is to detail the usefulness of the products you want them to purchase.

Obviously you will have this detail by having tried the product yourself. Do not pitch anything you have not purchased.

Finally after you have explained in detail what the product does offer a substantial reward (50-80% back of the purchase price) for those who purchase the product.

The reward can be in the form of:

1. PayPal
