As a sponsor, our role is to provide guidance, support and give praise when our team members do well. If we are doing this, the rest is up to the team member. I would suggest to send your team member a message asking if they need help to guide them along in building a successful business. Then move on to your next team member. Then concentrate on your business building.

Hope this helps

There are a lot of us that feel our communication skills are lacking. Myself included.

What I would suggest is read thru some of the example letters that SFI provides for us to read and emulate.

On the other hand, if your are dedicated to providing your team members with answers to their questions in a timely manner. Offering guidance to them, congratulating them and simply being there for them will provide the good support that they need. In doing the above, you will

In my opinion:

1- I would be honest and open with them. Let them know what SFI is all about and what it is not. It is not a "get rich quick" scheme. It is a legitimate business, team building opportunity.

2- Don't push your team members to purchase items so that you can gain commissions. Give them the options they have available to them if they can invest money or not.

3- Lead by example. If you are going to ask your team members to do a set of actions,

I would let the Affiliate know that the loss of the Daily 1 VP actions could mean the difference between not re-qualifying or qualifying. The difference between reaping the rewards of their teams actions and not.

Every business has tasks that need to be completed however mundane, they are a necessity to reach your goals.

A team member completing all of the daily tasks to gain VP also gain knowledge.

In the end, the 1 VP daily actions are not a waste of time. They

Garage sales usually generate a lot of traffic. People wanting to see what you have to sell and what may interest them.

So to try and generate possible interest and opt-ins for your SFI and/or TripleClicks, set out some business cards next to where the individuals pay for the items. This will draw their attention and prompt some questions which can lead into a good discussion of your business, what it is about and the potential.

TripleClicks is also a great opportunity for

Absolutely continue to support them. This shows, in my opinion, that they are taking direction from your example. You should be very proud of your team member.

I would continue to provide guidance and congratulations to the team member. The one thing we all have to remember is that we need to work together. This is not a one way street. I let all of my team members know that "If we work together, we succeed together".

Should I stick strictly to using SFI's system or would it benefit me to add some of my own touches and strategies?

In my opinion, if you are like me and have no idea about marketing and advertising online. Then stick with all of the training aids and material that SFI has to offer.

If you would consider yourself well rounded (or a guru) with marketing and advertising online, I would say to read SFI's rules, make sure that what you would like to proceed with will fall within them rules and go.

This is the framework for building a business. SFI provides all of us with the base to start

"What would you say to a PSA who states that their goal is to find an online job involving filling out forms and typing?"

I would, first, ask your team member is he/she has read any reviews on the topic or specific sites advertising their want.

I have ran across quite a few of these "fill out forms and you will get $X for each one". After reading reviews from reputable sites, most of them turn out to be scams.

I would then delve into the SFI business

The new ECA tab is a great way to get snap shots of the ECA's that are a part of TripleClicks. There are over 3900 of them.

This tabs purpose is to highlight 1 ECA per day. When reviewing the featured ECA, you might find products that really peek your interest. If this is the case, you have the ability to connect with them. Then you can use the URL generated for your connection to the specific ECA and advertise their products. When a potential customer clicks on your URL to browse
