Planning a get-together and want to present SFI to prospects? easy!

1) Just make a statement or two about a small presentation that would be given in the in-house get-together by placing it in either the bulk text message invite that would be sent, or the invite tickets/flyers that would be printed out and shared. This would avoid you taking your prospects by surprise so you don't miss out on true affiliates.

2) Make sure you've gotten your X-cards ready ;). I personally think it is the best sponsoring method in this case. It contains the major information you will need to get an affiliate in business from a quick spot-on situation. You want to avoid given them too much flyers and all. It may be too much information. Soon your get-together may just switch from being one to being a business meeting.

3) Another good sponsoring method is to attach Gift Certificates to the X-cards. Since it is a get-together, your friends or invites may just see it as an appreciation for coming to your party.

4) There is no harm in letting them in on a little bit of SFI fun. after all, it's a party. You could put up a projector and everyone in turn play one of SFI's EZ games. Trust me it's gonna be fun. This would keep them interested and a lot of your prospects would want to go into Tripleclicks in their free time to try out some more games. They spend TC credit as a PRM, you get your commission.

I hope these few ideas help.

Hello Augustine,

This is a very good question because we all know that 99% of SFI Team Leaders face the problems of not getting responses from their downlines.

I know a lot of people would say to utilize the PSA and CSA messenger or the Team mail but I humbly disagree with that.

Truth is, the PSA and CSA mailers are good. They are the best option SFI can provide for us right now. However as an awesome sponsor and team leader I think the best way to communicate with your downline is to have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with them.

I learned this from my Co-sponsor and it has been very very helpful. You can go about it in the following way.

- When your new PSA joins SFI, send a mail to him/her welcoming them to your team.
- When he/she has confirmed his/her registration and is 'ready to go', you can now utilize the following PERSONAL methods of communication which from research has been proven to be more effective considering that a lot of people do not regularly check their emails.

1) Facebook
2) BBM (Blackberry Messenger)
3) Google+
4) Skype
5) Twitter
6) LinkedIn etc.
7) Whatsapp

Note: You could still send team mails via the PSA and CSA mailers but the above mentioned methods should be thoroughly taken into consideration and utilized. If your PSA or CSA is not attached to any of the social media packages, encourage them to create an account for one or more while still keeping in touch via mails.

On the other hand, for a few that would not mind handing their personal contact numbers to you, you can keep in touch with them by calling. This is only going further to prove what an awesome sponsor you are, always ready and available to tackle issues your downline members might have.

I hope I helped.

Hi Dear,

I think I can pretty much wrap my head around this question because I would want to look at it from two different perspectives.

It's important that your family embrace your SFI business if you're the family type. Otherwise it's not much necessary.

As a family person however, I've weighed the effectiveness of both perspectives and given more credit to "Allowing family embrace your SFI business". This is because of the following reasons.
1) They could support you in areas where you're lacking financially if you need to make one or two investments in SFI just as my mother had done for me when I recently became an affiliate.
2) They could put in a word or two for you in your absence when someone asks and is interested in SFI. That might just get you another new PSA.
3) They themselves with time, may become interested in SFI and it could soon become a family business, hence the ease of sponsoring and mentoring each other for the growth of your individual businesses. As it is always said, 'A family that eats together, stays together' In the same vein, 'A family that does business together, stays together and also succeeds together'.

However, like you said. What if they don't embrace your SFI business.
Well, it is understandable. And like I said earlier it wouldn't matter much. A lot of people who don't have their families involved in SFI are succeeding in it tremendously. There are other ways to go about your business and motivating yourself to success.

In short, The involvement of family does help raise a business in many ways but also the non-involvement of family does not tear down the progress of a business in any way.

Success solely depends on YOU!

I hope I helped.

It's simple!

Learn how to be a good marketer!
I am going to list out various methods and tips that can help you effectively undertake a face to face recruitment task.

1) Buy and read books about marketing and pay special attention to face to face marketing. There are lots of books for that purpose. You can simply check online stores by googling it out.
2) Build your vocabulary. A good vocabulary leaves people listening to you even if what you're saying doesn't make sense. Simply because they like the way you talk. Neat and polished!
3) Read a lot about SFI and gather as much information as you can that can help you tackle questions from your prospects as they come.
4) Practice! Practice!! Practice!!! Build your confidence and reduce your nervousness by practicing always. You can use a mirror by talking to it as if it were a prospect or ask a friend to judge your competence in this skill set. This would help build your confidence tremendously.

Lastly,
5) Target the elites and well learned citizens of your society that would be able to make out meaning from all the information you're conveying to them and who will be able to appreciate your competence in this area because communication is only complete when the receiver has been able to properly decode the message sent.

Other tips may include;
- Take as much digital information as backup should in case you may need to refer to one or two info or to leave with your prospect for his/her perusal after you have done the talking.
- Try to calm your prospect down or rather, get him/her in the mood before talking about business. Do not just jump into telling him/her about SFI as it may come shockingly and other information that may follow may just be overwhelming. Ease prospects up with a little joke or ask questions about their day or how they plan to spend it.
- If you're meeting up a prospect on the road side, try to be quick, clear and concise so as to avoid him/her standing too long. You may not feel the stress since you're the talker but the listener may soon wear out.
- If possible set up a brief meeting in a diner or a coffee shop for maximum comfort of your prospect so that you can get his/her attention fully on the task at hand.
- Some prospects may not be interested, some may say they would want to think about it. In this case, do not hesitate to either drop your contact with them or collect theirs. Someday, they may just change their minds and become interested in SFI.

Hello Dear,

Good question!
It'll please you to know that SFI as a business is limitless. If you prospect people to become affiliates form your home country alone you are limiting the capacity of the growth of your business.
Hence, getting affiliates from everywhere is the best option i'd say.

There might be one or two few reasons why home country downlines are better to target but they aren't that far different from others worldwide for the following reasons:

1) Language barrier which could be a problem can be tackled with using a translator.
2) Affiliates from other countries can also be easily reached as those from home countries via mails, social medias and phone contacts.
3) Encouraging affiliates to shop on tripleclicks is no longer a big challenge since there would be at least up to 5 or more ECAs from that country where the affiliate can shop from.
4) Worldwide targeting broadens your business and increases your earning capacity as soon with that method of sponsoring, you'd have a downline of affiliates from continents around the world which can spread out 100 times faster into multiple downlines than home country affiliates alone.

For the following concrete reasons, I suggest you stick to sponsoring worldwide as it has far more benefits than sponsoring locally only.

I hope I helped.

I totally agree that having no online business experience is a setback for sponsors wishing to expand their downline base. However I have certain ideas that could help make these people potential SFI affiliates despite their lack of experience.
1) As a good sponsor, you could carry out a seminar for your potential PSA. It should be a well organised seminar, not necessarily a world-class one, could be in your yard, or in a facebook group, whatsapp group or even on a bbm channel. Reach out to them, and conduct a little theoretical training for them that could help them get started ASAP
2) Persuade them to sign up and refer them to SFI training centre. Most people are fast learners and would learn a lot about SFI in days from SFI training centre. Do this regularly in order for it to become part of the recruitment process, it further ensures the quality of your potential customer
3) You can collect their emails and send them various E-books via their mails for them to read and harness their interest and gain more experience till their fully ready to register as an SFI affiliate.

Honestly, SFI has a lot of top selling points.. A whole lot. But to be concise and brief, I would mention the top 10 that I think are the highest for you to focus on.

1) The earning potential of "DUPLICATION"
Sadly, but true.. duplication as you know it is the jewel of SFI as a business.. Show me another online business that would double your earnings for every 'eligible' candidate you sponsor up to 12 levels deep. This isn't a percentage earning but a total of all eligible PSA's VP plus yours for a month. For me, That's SFI's top selling point.

2) Adequate training articles and 24hr customer support
SFI is awesome.. I could say more but I am afraid I'll overwhelm you with facts. SFI's support and assistance is top notch. This business is so built on a solid ground that you actually have no option but to trust its prospects. Make sure you relate this to people when you're trying to recruit.

3) Introduction of Tripleclicks.
Well we all know that most online malls are into normal affiliate marketing businesses to build up their sales.. they offer affiliates commissions on products that can be sold by them to other customers. However, do I need to mention the inclusion of the PriceBenders Auctions? or the EagerZebra games? or even the Wave 3 program? these off the chart programs has made tripleclicks a very sought after platform. People should be fully aware of these programs and how they can help build a business.

4) ECA
And we are not done! the introduction of the E-commerce program as you know is a big deal for a lot of SFI affiliates as a lot of us have started making huge profits on our sales from our ECA stores. Your potential prospect should be highlighted about this. Lots if people today are looking for how to boost sales in their respective shops or how to cost the cost of running a physical store. Becoming a tripleclicks ECA shouldn't be left out when talking to potential referrals.

Other top selling points of SFI
5) Easy communication with sponsors and upline for a more effective and easy business building.

6) Interactive Graphical User Interface for all pages including Affiliate Center and Tripleclicks pages.

7) Lots of free stuff given out every month as well as in draws and games

8) There is reward for every successful move you make - badges! to help motivate you and keep you in business.

9) Interactive forum and friends connections to keep in touch with other affiliates and gather useful information or ask important questions.

10) And lastly, CREDIBILITY! SFI has been around for more than 17 years.. that is enough reason for any reasonable business individual to give investment a try and watch out for returns. Use pages and snapshots of old and successful affiliates as an example to prospects and encourage them that they can be like that also if they work hard in it.

I really hope I helped.

Hi there..
I do not need to type a whole passage just to answer this question.
I am between 21-35 and trust me, I can testify that people within this age bracket are attracted to catchy stuff. Hence i listed the best possible strategies to invite and keep potential affiliates in the SFI biz.
1) Price benders penny auctions
2) Eager Zebra games
3) The use of Gift certificates and/or gift cards.

note: 1) A lot of people in that age bracket distaste the sight of too much mail. they barely like to read so don't spam them with mails of any kind
2) people within this age group are mostly social network users. keep in touch with them using social networks. what would take a day for them to see in their mail box would take only a minute to find in their facebook message box or twitter accounts.

I really do hope you find these tips useful

This is a very good question and I am very sure that with proper implementation, It is bound to bring in some returns.

I read the question and instantly some ideas popped into my head. So I am just going to list them outright

1) SFI has provided us with various graphical marketing method. You could actually print some out and post them around shops and kiosks where people visit often.

2) Stickers are a great way to keep information fresh in the minds of potential customers. You could liaise with shop owners or business owners to give out SFI stickers to customers they have rendered services to or sold a product to.

3) You could offer to make some products that are being sold in kiosk an SFI souvenir by attaching stickers on them that reads what SFI does and how to start SFI business. (If allowed)

4) Remember that SFI sells gift certificates, people that usually go to shops and kiosk to make purchases are most likely to take advantage on online purchase as well.. business areas and shops have a good market when it comes to prospective TC members. You could use this method to attract them.

5) At a job fair, You could pitch a presentation. Make quality videos that are informative about SFI and give a presentation about it. Search through youtube, you can download some very powerful videos that you can put together to make a good presentation. People at job fairs are looking for a better way to improve their lives. You could just end up being a fisher of lots of affiliates.

I hope for now, these ideas can help.

Oh yes! Another lover of EZ Card King.
I love your question so much. I was so obsessed with winning once that i asked myself this same question. but that's by the way.
Although as much as we all know that card king is to a great extent a game of luck, there are some tips that you could employ and could help you make a longer streak of cards.
1) The very first is that you should start with the lowest or highest card from the selection of the first dealt cards. it makes starting the game really easy
2) Try to increase your chances of winning by playing the mini games under which would earn you points because it is the more points you have the more your chances of winning.
3) Watch the trend: As you play along, you may want to watch your previous games that you have guessed. that'll help you give a more correct prediction in your next guessed cards.
4) You could peep 3 times in a game to know how many cards which are above or below the currently shown card. this feature is available to you on your Card King game.
5) I am guilty of this next tip: Buy a deck of cards and spread them all open. use it as your guide when playing CK. As you play, eliminate the ones you get right and move on.. it helps you see clearly which other cards are left. this could help you make a nearly perfect guess.
6) Don't forget lifelines. if you have tc credits, you can use a lifeline if you think the next card is too hard to guess. ignore if you have fewer tc credits
