A lot of people who are very sceptical about online business, need a lot of convincing. As there are many fly by night companies who offer great things, it needs to be made known that SFI is not one of these companies.

First of all, I would give your affiliates details of how long SFI has been in business and the great things they have done in this time. These details can be found on the home page when you log in at the foot of the page by clicking on "About Us" There are also some links here to take you further for more information.

Give your affiliates details of when you joined and how long it took you to get to where you are today. How did you do it? Was it difficult? What did you do each day? Your Affiliates will appreciate this information and can then judge for themselves just how they are going to proceed to greatness and what plans they need to put in place to achieve this.

You take them step by step through an introductory process.

Step 1. A simple greeting, introduction and explanation that you purpose is to help them build their business and to answer any questions that come up in the process.

Step 2. A short detailed letter explaining how to earn 500 VP the first day (to earn the 200 VP Bonus)

Step 3. A short detailed letter explaining how to go EA (score 1,500 VP) without spending a penny.

Step 4. A short detailed letter explaining the value of Fast Track and the NMP in the first 10 days in the business. Recommend purchase of five NMP packs ($100 Investment).

Step 5. A short detailed letter explaining the value of Standing Order and how to go TL Platinum in their first two weeks in the business. (Total Investment including NMP packs $136.25)

If I get them to Step 3, they stand a 75% chance of continuing to be active. If they are seriously active from the start, TL Platinum is entirely possible in the first two weeks in the business. A lot depends on how seriously active you are to begin with.

This is a serious question! As we are all independent business owners in SFI, we cannot impose our will to our affiiates.

No matter how much we encourage them to become serious business builders in SFI, if they have different agendas or reasons in joining, there's very little we can really do.

We can, however, show them how serious we are with our own business.
We have to lead by example, become serious investors with our standing orders and personal purchases from our TripleClicks store.

We also have to keep advertising and promoting our own business, keep sponsoring more new affiliates and referring more PRMs and customers to our TricpleClicks store to increase our income and commission, and contribute to the TC Executive Pool.

We have to be actively involved in all SFI activities such as regularly visiting and posting in the SFI Forum, submitting answers to Ask SC, participate in all contests, such as E365 Contest if we are eligible, Daily Grand Drawing, Daily Crown, t-time, PTP, Eager Zebra games,etc., bidding regularly at Pricebender auctions. And most importantly, be in SFI Leadership Challenge.

By showing our own commitment to our business and progressing in rank, earning all Badges there are to be earned, winning contests, and not slacking in performing our Daily To-Do even for a day, leading from the front, and not waiting for them to decide when to get serious, will be sufficient proof of how seriously we are treating our own business.

So while they are still thinking about it, we are already succeeding and achieving our own goals.

It starts before they join SFI.

When you first present SFI if you are pushing, "It's free, what do you have to lose?" you will find a different grade of prospect to promoting, "It's a great business with only minimal investment of time and or money to get started." We need to sell the potential and not hide the work if we want PSA who see the potential and are ready to work.

We need to be informative, and available to answer questions before the prospect joins so we get fewer window shoppers and more fast movers.

We need to think of targeting English speakers with potentially some funding to invest in their business, at least $40 a month, and we need them to be avid readers, potential leaders, and serious about owning a business and ready to get involved in on that serves the retail niche.

You don't have to complain about the 99 inactive PSA out of every 100 you recruit if you weed out the 99 and laser target the 1 with your efforts. Fewer sign ups is a great thing if you are getting quality over quantity and that means being a little stingy with who exactly you will share the SFI opportunity with.

I'm not saying someone good can't come out of us broke folks who come to SFI without two pennies to rub together, because I was one of them 2 years ago, but I can tell you I am more focused on bringing in people that are more like me now than me back then.

One of the main ingredients of getting your affiliates serious about building their SFI and TripleClicks business is to be a great example that they can follow.

I personally believe that we sponsors need to do is relax a little on trying to get our new affiliates to commit to being a “serious” business builder.

We need to give our new teammates time to work into the “serious” mode of doing business. As an example; when I first started SFI I had just finished getting fleeced from a couple different marketing programs so I was taking steps forward with extreme caution. I did not feel that I could “commit” to being serious until after a period of 6 months.

By the time I was ready to go for it (so to speak) I knew what it would take and I started acting on it. This was quite a surprise to my sponsor – who, by the way, never pushed me to advance before I was ready.

I have found that the best way to getting my teammates to be serious about building their home business is through the weekly newsletters and the stream post. You also can post articles in your SFI blog and direct your affiliates to read the blogs for information on building their business.

The need to be serious over their business will be a personal decision that they must make and they will decide that when the timing is right for them. Pushing or nudging your teammates may just delay things or upset them enough to opt out.

Teach by example – Give advice only when asked – Be an awesome sponsor.

All of us desire to see our affiliates to become serious business builders in SFI. Here are my suggestions.

1. We must be serious ourselves first in building our SFI business and be an example. There are three things that a serious business builder does;

a) Earns as many VP as he can - It means that he logs-in daily and do the task in his Affiliate Center.

b) Finds as many affiliate as he can - It means learn some internet and warm marketing skills and techniques

c) Teaches his affiliate to do a) and b). - It means he also learns how to befriend and communicate what he knows to his affiliates.


2. Learn to help your affiliates from where they are. There are several route for serious business builders to be successful in SFI. This depends on his situation.

if your affiliates has money to invest teach him how to buy PSA's or advertisement. Teach him the route via pricebenders where he can bid for PSA and CSA.

If he has no money to invest, teach him how to sell products from TripleClicks and how to advertise from free websites and social media.

3. Give them constant Techniques and encouragement - Always arouse their interest and curiosity. The most important here is you are able to engage them in a conversation. They will only respond if you hit their interest and curiosity.

As you do these suggestion, do not be surprised if still, very few will respond and get serious in their SFI business. Embrace the reality of any internet marketing. We only get 0.1% to 5% of our affiliates to get serious.

Hi, Carl Bradley.

Excellent question.

You are asking for the answer we all want to hear.

Carl, my answer for you is: Help your associates learn how to make money with SFI, as soon as they can.

How do they do that? By working their warm markets. Teach your affiliates to share their Gateways and sponsoring links with their family members, their friends,, their co-workers, their business relationships and anybody they may come across.

The surest way to get your affiliates become serious SFI Business Builders" is through a clear strategy.

One: Let's keep in mind the "Sponsoring Golden Rule": Work with those who are active at building their business. Do not waste too much time with those sleeping affiliate who never log in.

Then, how do you get affiliates to become serious?

Second: my personal strategy is in two stages.

a: the first 24 hours of an affiliate joining SFI, I contact them two or three times through personalized welcome messages, e-cards and team mail.

Their reaction will give me an indication whether they have an interest, whether they have a potential or whether they are likely to fall in the masses of the inactive, sleepy ones.

Both my communication style and its frequency will depend on their achievements as new affiliates in first four to five day.

That is enough a time frame to determine who is serious and who is not likely to strive hard to be successful.

Again I apply the Golden Rule: I work with those who work!

b. I have found it more effective to motivate prospects before they sign up.

(1) my advertisement is very selective. It stress the call to serious opportunity seekers who are willing to put in both the time necessary and the minimum investments SFI requires to start earning commission.

(2) I personally believe that starting to earn commissions as soon as possible is the best way to retain new affiliates. I have been with SFI for 13 months now: a very lucky number, and I have earned commissions every month. That is a good start.

It is enough evidence that if I improve and get more focused, stop procrastinating and target the audiences from which I can strengthen my team, I will earn more.

This ability to earn, even by small increments is what will make affiliates more serious about the business.

I think you would agree with me.
