This is a very good question especially for people who are new in internet marketing. When I joined SFI, I had to take some due diligence and I will share the following:
From the testimonials of the other affiliates, I did not find any complaints about fraud, loss of money or unsafe leaks of personal information. So I reckoned that if SFI isn't safe, none of the affiliates would have spent more than a year in the business and yet many of my A2A friends have been in SFI longer than one year.
SFI is now in its 17th successful year on the Internet. In that time, SFI has grown from just one product to multiple subdivisions and 93,192 products and services.

With over 30,000 new affiliates joining weekly, SFI is one of the fastest growing companies of its kind in the world.

Since 1998, SFI has paid out MILLIONS of dollars in commissions to affiliates in over 200 countries. In reality, SFI is in almost every country in the world! And in the process, SFI has become, truly, one of the Internet’s biggest success stories.

SFI's parent company, Carson Services, Inc., is now in its 30th year of business and is a longtime member of the Better Business Bureau serving southern Nebraska.

Working with SFI means having the peace of mind of working with a proven, debt-free company with a long, successful track record.
SFI and tripleclicks are secured websites and next time when you are making payment you can see a padlock icon on the browser which indicates that the site is well secured.
From my personal experience, I have never had any bad any bad experience at all and yet I am a frequent shopper.
Whenever I log onto a new computer, SFI always locks me out and sends a requirement that I must enter a code that is sent to my e-mail address.
There is question if I am using a public computer and if so, I check on the public computer box. This way, in the unlikely event that there was a power outage or I forgot to logout, my account will be logged out automatically.
In a nutshell, SFI is safe and secure and we can trust them entirely.

We face the challenge of access to computers as well in Africa.
In my team, for example, I have a set of long distance truck drivers.
Due to the nature of their work, they will get internet access in the cyber cafes in some of the towns that are designated as rest areas. When they travel to the remote areas, there are no computers.
How do they overcome this challenge?
The smart phone comes in handy and most of the drivers have access to smart phone.
I also have a team of mechanics who may work from time to time in areas where there are no computers. One time they went to repair a truck that had a breakdown on the highway in uninhabited area.
They borrowed a tablet from one of the truck drivers who stopped to see if they needed some help, connected it to the internet using a mobile phone WiFi hotspot .
Then they used the tablet in turns to do their tasks and even make purchases. That truck driver who had previously only used the tablet to play games and social media was so impressed that they recruited him to join SFI.
The most creative experience that they have shared was There is an old adage that if we want something badly enough, we shall look for a solution. If not, we shall make excuses. Challenge to look for solutions and use this limitation as a motivation to ensure they work hard in SFI and that way they will earn their own computers within a few months.
P.S. – I was able to win an I-PAD mini for only USD 1.58 on the PriceBenders Auction within a few days of joining SFI using the T-Credits that I purchased for my SO. It was shipped to within a month.
So, SFI really offers a quick solution.

If I were to start over with SFI, I would do several things differently.

Key among these things, I would model excellence from day one.

Some of the activities that I would do include:
1. I would completely buy-into the business and work with more conviction
2. I would purchase the NMP
3. I would place an SO of 125 T Credits to go Gold Fast Track
4. I would sponsor more affiliates and coach them to become EA Fast track
5. I would coach the PSAs to duplicate numbers 1, 2 , 3and 4
6. I would place S-Builder every month
7. I would learn the business so well and become the go-to-guy for everyone who wants to venture into internet business
8. I would advertize my links on regular and consistent basis
9. I would make sure that I lead my team in sales so that they can model the same and ensure that we have the most productive team
10. I would line up lots of items to list everyday
In a nutshell, I would view SFI as a real business.

There is a saying that if you treat a business as a hobby, it will cost you because typically, hobbies do not pay. So, I would create a solid plan to build this as a business and start earning from it ASAP.

The good news is that we always have an opportunity to do things right at any time that we decide.

There are always 2 very important days in our business, i.e. the day that we sign up for SFI and the the day AHA day that we finally get it.

Now that I know what I should have done right from the beginning, I will start NOW.

What about you?

What will you do differently starting from today?

Today could be the day that you turn your business.

The question is, do you want hobby results or serious business profits result?

I know the answer to this question…

See you on the success lane.

The first thing you need to do is to answer the WHY question.

Several experiences and testimonials from successful people have shown that
IF YOUR DREAM IS BIG ENOUGH, THE FACTS DO NOT COUNT

When I decided to launch onto the SFI business with complete commitment, I took some time to do due diligence and check out on google what other people say about SFI.

I read some very good testimonials for people who have succeeded in SFI. They all have some similar qualities.

They have conviction that SFI is a good business opportunity to help them achieve their dreams

They are determined to win
Whenever they meet challenges, they are willing to look for answers
They understand that success is a personal responsibility
They are consistent and they think longterm
They are willing to learn and apply
They are willing to invest time and money in order to grow their business.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED
They QUIT! Yes, that is the first thing they all say
They blame Gery and the the compensation plan and blah..blah..
Some of them are in other businesses and so they want to smear SFI with dirt as a way to hook others in their newly found ‘BETTER BUSINESS’. It is laughable because when you search the comments on their so-called better business, there are hordes of complaints from very disgruntled success wannabees.

So, back to the Question, How do you know if you are capable of building a successful SFI business?"
1). Have a strong reason why you want to get into business. This is brought out when we are filling in the affiliate profile and the questions bring our dreams to life
2). Develop the conviction that SFI is the best business opportunity and just feel grateful and you have the opportunity to fulfil your dreams through a vehicle that took someone else many years and a lot of resources to create it. So many other people have created both finance and time freedom thru SFI, why not you?
3). Have a teachable spirit and be willing to learn how to do this business.
4). Invest your time and money to build this as you would do in your own business. In the corporate world, if we were to start a business, you would either build or rent some business premises, pay licences, pay goodwill, buy stocks, advertize, hire staff, buy the requisite equipment, furniture and fittings needed. But in SFI, someone else has already done the set up for us. So, let us just follow the system. If it has worked for others, it will work for you
5). If you can talk to some people and show them what you are doing, then you can recruit. Create a list of the people you would love to see succeed, starting with family, friends, colleagues, people you are in the same interest groups, the people you buy services from e.g. the doctor, electrician, banker, lawyer, barber, security

I could go on and on
Suffice it to say that if you really want to succeed in SFI, FAILURE, won’t be an option.
A last tip:
Have a strategy. You can splint in this business or you can run it like a marathon

What a good question!!

I will give you a firsthand experience that will most certainly look hilarious and comical.
In my country, there has been a has been a digital migration for our broadcasters from analogue to digital transmission.

As a result, all the non-digital TV sets have been rendered redundant

As an extension, people have started classifying themselves as either analogue or digital.
When you approach anyone who cannot operate a smart phone or access internet they tell you that they are … you guessed right.. ANALOGUE

And when you approach the others who can access internet they tell you they are .. ahem… yes.. DIGITAL.

To bring your question into the context, how do we promote SFI to prospects who are self-proclaimed … anaologue..

I belong to the generation known as BBC (Born Before Computers).

I saw my first computer at the university

And I started using computers many years after I had been employed.

What is my point, exactly?

That computer skills can be learnt.

What we need to promote are the benefits of the SFI business.

Once the affiliates understand the benefits of the SFI business, the excuses melt. Hahaha seeing the big picture will cure excusitis

The people who I have met who are not very well versed with the on-line business mostly express the following fears:
• Is my personal data safe?
• What if someone steals my money from my credit card?
• I don’t have a VISA nor MASTERCARD
• I don’t know how to create a PAYPAL account
The list goes on and on.

What these people are expressing are the fears that exhibit when we venture into the unknown.

So we need to do the following:
1) Assuage the fears of the prospects by enlightening them that SFI and TrippleClicks are super safe
2) Let them know that they do not need to become internet geeks to prosper in SFI. They just need basic computer and internet skills. They will gain proficiency as they go along.
3) What I tell the prospects is that if they can join Facebook and do all the things that they do on Socio media, they can surely navigate SFI
4) We show them how to create PAYPAL accounts
5) We show them how to obtain VISA and MASTERCARDS. They can start with Debit cards where they only load the amount of money that they want to use.

In conclusion, let us not make SFI look difficult because it is easy.

Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

This is a very interesting question. It is very good to have prospects who have money to invest because they will be able to spend the money purchasing products
Most people who say they do not have the time fall into 2 key categories:
1). The super rich who do not see additional income as an incentive
2). People who are salaried or in businesses who are expressing objection to launch into an unknown.
How do we approach the 2 categories:
For the super rich, they have already achieved financial success. What they are looking for is moving from success to significance. How do they gain significance? By helping other people to succeed. I have a plan to request some very rich prospects to sponsor a team of prospects who are in colleges and others tamarcking looking for jobs. That way, each of them can instantly have a team working under them and achieve the twin objective of showing others how to generate wealth and thereby improve their financial status as well as earning some good money in return and continue the process.
Every person has a different dream, different aspirations. That is why the questions in the AFFILIATE PROFILE are absolutely key to understand each prospect. Listen to the prospects, learn their needs and then guide them accordingly.
The second category is for people like me. I am a General Manager in a busy transport company. An ordinary day involves attending meetings with clients, staff, bankers, other service providers like suppliers, lawyers, etc. very tight. Then I have a family with the usual obligations, I am actively involved in church and in the community.
How do I go around it?
I have a powerful story about SFI, what we call a testimonial. Do you have a story? If you don’t have a story yet, tell the story of your sponsor, the upline leadership team or from A2A friends.
What is my story? I participated in PB auction and won this I-pad mini for USD 1.58. In each of the meetings and seminars that I attend, that story really captures other people’s attention.
This is basically the art of prospecting. All of us start with little commitment.
As soon as these people sign up and they see the potential in SFI, the commitment grows. These people will then adjust their schedules and manage their times better.
Learn how to deal with objections by doing a very good presentation showing the company profile, the product portfolio, the compensation plan and compute some projections. This shows the prospects the numbers and quite often, they will sign up and time is no longer an issue.
Remember, to handle objections, we use the 3 F Words, namely:
FEEL, FELT, FOUND
I identify with the way you FEEL
When I joined SFI that is exactly how I FELT
After spending some time in SFI, I FOUND out that it really takes only a few minutes and after investing for some time, SFI gave me the financial independence and freed my time because I no longer need to keep a salaried job.
Finally, thank God that you have a very good problem: Prospects with money. Just work with them to show them creative ways to free up some time.

This is a mind-provoking question because it is possible to be in SFI and really not understand the fundamental details.
It is very key to create interest as you have rightly mentioned. In marketing, we use the acronym AIDTE

It means we should create Awareness, so that the customer develops Interest and then makes a Decision to do the Transaction and after they receive the product they Evaluate whether it has met their satisfaction based or not. Based on this outcome, we either get customer Loyalty or lose them.

TrippleClicks is an E-Commerce Shop operated by SFI.
It has over 90,000 listed items to suit all tastes and meet all needs. These products include:
Antiques, apparels,art & Craft, books, computers, digital downloads, electronics, food & beverages, , jewelry, Gifts & flowers, Health & wellness, magazine subscriptions, movies, music & games, personal care & beauty, phones & accessories, Tools & automotives
The beauty of purchasing from TrippleClicks is that you get very high quality products at very good negotiated prices and you buy online, it does not interrupt your schedules and the product is shipped to you pronto.
TrippleClicks sells items via auction, aka Pricebenders auction and you can participate in the auction and bid for the item that you what and if you are the highest bidder, you buy the item of choices at a very low price. It is almost like a gift.
TrippleClicks also allows you to play a wide variety of games from which you can earn fabulous prizes.
TripleClicks offers an opportunity for other business to advertize their products online for free through a program called ECA. Here, any business will get an opportunity to showcase their products to a worldwide customer base of billions of people, and the sun never sets on TrippleClicks. It is open for business 24/7

People who have registered as members of SFI get an opportunity to buy the items and earn a bonus called Versa Points. These members aka affiliates have been given the opportunity to refer these products and services to willing buys. Each time the referral purchases, the affiliate will earn a commission. It is the best affiliate marketing opportunity.

I trust at this point, that person has a bird eyeview of TrippleClicks. It is not too much to be boring, and not too little to be inadequate

Wish you more successful propecting

F
or someone who wants to build a team of affiliates, it is key that you are able to advertize. In this case, the most important tool is the list of your gateways.
Let us keep in mind that for SFI to work as well as it does, there are very many systems that work together. To bring this into perspective, consider a car. What is the most important part of a car?
Is it the engine?
Is it the electrical system?
Is it the suspension?
Or the tires
What it means is that the car won’t move without any of the above

And even though I would consider the gateways that enable me to advertize my links and that way attract new PSAs, I still need all the other support systems in order to help them to become productive.

Ultimately, the compensation tool is very crucial. Without compensation, we would not have a business.

In a nutshell, I consider all the components that makeup SFI to be very important.

I read this question and found it very interesting.

I also have a Fast-Track lapel pin and I put it on with pride. And I like the way most people admire it and it helps me begin a conversation.

SFI have very well thought tools and strategies to help us become successful. The Fast-Track Lapel pin is a great prospecting tool.

But first, let us digress a little bit.

Let us discuss how to do wear the Fast-Track Lapel Pin the right way so that when we put on the lapel pin, we ooze with pride and professionalism.

Is there a proper side to wear your lapel pin?
Lapel pins are typically worn on a suit jacket or blazers for men and on a coat, silk scarf or blouse for women. The pin should be placed on the widest part of the lapel and on the left hand side of the body.

Where do I wear a pin if I am not wearing a jacket?
Men who are not wearing a jacket but are wearing a tie can wear their pin towards the middle of the tie. If a man is wearing a jacket and tie it is most appropriate to wear the pin on the left lapel and not directly on the tie.

Men wearing shirts without a tie or a jacket traditionally wear lapel pins on the left side of the shirt, near the heart.

How do I attach the pin to my jacket or shirt?
You need to take off the backing, push the pin into your lapel (or tie or shirt) until the point comes through the other side, and reattach the backing.
The pin should sit upright on your lapel, tie or blouse. Make sure it is not upside down or at a strange angle.
The pin should be tightly clasped on the back so it doesn't rotate when you move.

If we put it on in a clumsy manner, we might easily end up looking unprofessional. This will repel rather than attract attention.

So, we are agreed on how to wear lapel pins the right way, right? Right.
Now we are talking.

When wear magnificent Fast-Track Lapel Pin, what happens?
1) We Get attention. The people we meet whether in the workplace , in the social places, in malls ..everywhere we go, will notice the Lapel Pin. It makes you stands out from the crowd
They will most certainly ask us what it is all about.
And voila.

We should be prepared to tell them about this marvelous company that offers this great opportunity, to create a second income.

People are visual. This is a strategy that helps bust through the noise and the information overload and we get noticed.

2) You cannot win in this business if you are obscure. You must adopt strategies that generate enough awareness about you and your company. Obscurity kills businesses.

Imagine working in a marketplace where SFI is a known and a trusted brand. The ease of market penetration would be out of this world
By wearing the SFI Lapel Pin, we generate awareness.
We start conversations about SFI and TrippleClicks. And publicity is good.

3) We also demonstrate to the others that we are proud of SFI. And this creates interest. We also pitch SFI as a company that cares and recognizes the contribution of its affiliates. There is a saying, People will work for a living but they will die for recognition

So let us wear the Fast-Track Lapel Pin with pride. Let this beautiful and precious prospecting tool work for us to break the ice and open for us opportunities to bring in other people.
