What is the best way to explain either to a prospect or a new affiliate the relationship between SFI and Tripleclicks or Pricebenders?
I tell new affiliates or prospects that basically there are 2 businesses in one - SFI and TripleClicks. I tell them that TripleClicks is a huge online store with about 114,000 products, sold both by TripleClicks Direct, and also independent e-commerce associates, called ECAs. Then I tell them that SFI is the marketing arm, or army, 2 million strong, whose job it is to sell TripleClicks' products on behalf of the ECAs and TripleClicks Direct. I tell them that every SFI affiliate is automatically a member of TripleClicks also and can become an ECA and sell his own products, too if he wishes.
I explain that SFI affiliates are running their own businesses and explain all the different ways they can earn money through both TripleClicks and the power of duplication by building a team of affiliates and benefitting from the matching bonuses and the Executive Pool. One could choose to focus on any one of these, or work at all of them:
1. As an SFI affiliate you earn commissions on the products you sell. You can sell any of the 114,000 products listed by TripleClicks Direct, or by any of the 6,480 E-Commerce Associates from 149 countries.
2. As an affiliate you can also earn money each month from what is called the TripleClicks Executive Pool. A certain part of every sale each month goes towards this 'pool'. Every affiliate who reaches the level of Executive Affiliate or higher that month, gets a share of this pool. The size of his share depends on the number of points he earned during the month.
3. All affiliates of SFI are automatically members of TripleClicks and can open their own stores as ECAs if they wish.
4. Affiliates can join other people up as ECAs. They then receive a commission on every sale made by that ECA for life. Of course he should help the ECA sell his products.
5. Affiliates can join people up to TripleClicks simply as customers. These customers are called one's Personally Referred Members, or PRMs. Any purchase by any PRM will always be accredited to the person who signed that person up. So if I join someone up who is not interested in running a business, but just wants to shop online, I get a commission on any purchase he makes - forever. He may not shop for months and then come searching for something for a Christmas gift or something, but the person who originally introduced him to TripleClicks will still get that commission.
6. Affiliates can also sponsor other affiliates into the business. People you sponsor are called your Personally Sponsored Affiliates. (PSAs) It is a sponsor's job to look after his PSAs and help them do well in the business. When you reach the level of team leader, you benefit by having all your PSAs' points earned each month, added to your own, which of course increases your share of the TripleClicks Executive Pool. This is where the real money comes in. It's called the power of duplication and this is what provides the leveraged residual income.
7. Affiliates also earn commissions on any products bought by their PSA, or on any sales made by their PSAs who become ECAs.
8. Any member of TripleClicks or SFI may sell their own 2nd -hand stuff on TripleClicks. So you can have your own online garage sale.
9. SFI affiliates and TripleClicks members may both participate in auctions where people get fantastic bargains such as an ipod for around $5.00, or a mobile phone, or any number of a wide variety of amazing bargains. These auctions run 24/7 to cater for the huge international clientele. Goods won at auction are shipped to the winner, anywhere in the world for free. I know some people who are really good at the auctions and get regular great bargains and then they resell the products on e-bay, or in their own TripleClicks store for a really good profit.
10. There is also another way of earning money which is the SFI Pay Per Action Plan. In this, an affiliate may join up new affiliates or TripleClicks members, but instead of sponsoring them and benefiting from their sales and purchases, he can simply be paid up to $12 for each qualified affiliate and $5 for each TC member. The new members are given to other affiliates to look after. (Qualified means they can't be tyre kickers.) So if you are good at advertising, but don't want the responsibility of sponsoring, this SFIPPA may interest you.
11. You can join TripleClicks as an E-Commerce Associate (ECA) and set up your own store, (without joining SFI as an affiliate). This is free to do and you list your items for free. TripleClicks keeps a minimum of 15% of the sale price. (You determine what percent you want TC to get.) This goes towards the commissions of the affiliates who promote the products. If you join as an ECA, you don't necessarily join SFI and become an affiliate. As an ECA only, you can only sell your own products - not anyone else's, as can an SFI affiliate.
A prospect can see that there are an amazing variety of ways that he can make money through SFI and or TripleClicks. I ask him does he think any of those would suit him, and offer to help him get started to change his life for the better.
Good luck with your prospecting!
