I understand that you are looking for 5 to 10 closing statements to seal the deal. Great! Just remember before you seal the deal, you must build rapport with your prospect. Be likeable and genuine. People don't follow opportunities but they will follow people that they like and trust. So you have to build that trust. Don't think that you can just waltz up to someone and close them unless you happen to do it in perfect timing.

So you see timing is critical and just as important

Being a good listening means that you first have to understand what your PSA/CSA is asking of you. We have to make time for our team if we choose to have one. Everyone comes to SFI with questions and yes most of the information sought is right there in black and white. Yet, remember when you joined? You didn't read all the details either and your mind raced with anticipation of a big pay day. Or maybe you are just the thorough analytical type and read everything. Not everyone does.

Honestly, you can only show your affiliates the path. You can't make them travel the path and you can't do the work for them. That said, when I have a mover, I direct them to the exact resources I use and the steps I take routinely to achieve what I achieve and I am 1 in my class. So if they want to be number one in their class, it's simply a matter of adhering to my recommendations. Consequentially, if you can help your team to cash out as early as possible; you will have a network of workers

I don't make a distinction between my PSAs and CSAs when it comes to support. I support them equally. Why? CSAs are often time more receptive to you because they don't think that you are trying to just sell them something like PSAs. Everyone realizes 45% on the commission volume for PSAs but only 15% for CSAs. So when you take the time to support them even though you only get 1/3 the commission they get that you really want to help otherwise; you can just support your PSAs right?

The big picture is of course to have a team of affiliates that support your SFI business. To achieve this:

1. Advertising & Marketing are crucial. Use every tool in the toolbox and always improve on your performance. Promote products not the opportunity.

2. Sponsor PSAs/CSAs/PRMs/ECAs to get multiple streams of income flowing.

3. Support your team. Follow all of the awesome sponsor tips as given in the affiliate center.

4. Create strategic

A great welcome gift can really be anything you choose. Some people will appreciate your generosity and others will not. TCWelcomes allows you to give TCredits to affiliates when they join. While I have not had anyone to take me up on this offer, I will continue to use it because I know the value of TCredits. The sponsor has the awesome priviledge of setting the expectation. That is, everyone should support TripleClicks. It is our store within a store and the strong arm of the compensation

Which is better and why...using TW (TCredits Welcome) or CW (Cash Welcome) with my new affiliates?

The TW or CW programs are designed for the same purpose to encourage activity in your network. Sometimes people are slow to invest into something they are not sure about. Both programs ensure your new PSAs that you are serious about their success and that's why you are offering assistance. Some may see these programs as a hand out and refuse to participate. Yet, I beg to differ. Encouraging your affiliates is never a hand out but a hand up. Your generosity and goodwill could be the catalyst

"What are some tips for getting the most out of the SFI Forum each day?"

The Forum is a great place to build alliances and learn everything related to SFI. In my opinion, I recommend that every affiliate build a working relationship with their sponsor because they are the one person who has a vested interest in your SFI success. Learn from them and your upline.

Nonetheless, every affiliate doesn't have an active sponsor. This is where the forum becomes vitally
