S-Builder Co-op or PSAs to Go. Which is better and why?
There seems to be some confusion in the answers being given for these two products.
Some affiliates are saying that S-Builder is cheaper. Well, what is my experience? I joined S-Builder deliberately. I consider S-Builder to be one of the pillars of SFI. It’s their marketing tool. And I think I would be a fool not to support such a foundational plank in the SFI program. These guys are the experts, so let’s tag along for the ride. And I do it every month so that the momentum is kept going and hopefully with grow.
S-Builder takes some time to “kick-in”. I purchased one unit in S-Builder on September 3, 2013 (in my sixth day as a member of SFI) and I have purchased one unit each month ever since (I am now in my 14th month in SFI).
And I found that it took some time for my first SFI affiliate through S-Builder to arrive, not until November 30, 2013 – some 87 days later. But since then they have become quite regular. I usually receive about 4 signups per month but I received 7 sign-ups in September, the most ever.
To date I have received 46 SFI affiliates from S-Builder and 3 TripleClicks Members (TM) and it has cost me a total of US$286.00. That’s an average of 3.7 SFI affiliates per month at an average cost of US$5.84 each. (This is the first time I have looked at what S-Builder was costing me per SFI affiliate received.)
With PSAs to Go there is a choice of three packs, where the numbers are guaranteed, you know how many you are getting, and you also receive them within a very short time, less than a week usually. There is: -
A 10 pack which each new affiliate costs US$3.90;
A 20 pack which each new affiliate costs US$3.45; and
A 50 pack which each new affiliate costs US$2.78
Or 9% less if on a Standing Order.
So, you can immediately see that there are two major differences between S-Builder and PSAs to Go. The first is S-Builder costs, in my experience, at least 1.5 times that of PSAs to Go. And the timing is much longer – 87 days compared to 7 days.
In each case you are not guaranteed an active affiliate. That is what you as the sponsor must try and encourage. Personally I have not had much success in getting any of my sign-ups to remain active. (This is something I wish to work on this year.) Surely, if I can become an awesome sponsor I will be more successful in converting sign-ups into keen SFI businesspeople.
I am serious about my SFI business and my thinking is this: I will continue to buy one S-Builder unit each month as my minimum commitment to sponsoring. But, as soon as I can afford it, I will purchase a 50 pack of PSAs to Go – that’s the most economical way. And I will try my best to make each new affiliate as keen on SFI as I am.
So, I intend to use both products. S-Builder as my minimum ongoing sponsoring tool and PSAs to Go as the way to very quickly grow my team. And the quantity of PSAs to Go that I will purchase and the frequency with which I will purchase them will depend on what I can afford at the time. And I thank SFI for making these products available to us.
