Hi Alberto, the ECA Program (http://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/ECAGW.php) is designed to allows commercial sellers and companies of all kinds, from around the world, to market their products and services side-by-side with products and services at TripleClicks.com.

Advicing your PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country can be of great help to them. First, let me
quickly add here that the product the ECAs are selling have a lot to do with the patronage they'll get. If they are products your PSAs need, they will buy. No one will want to buy something useless to him.

Secondly, you have to personally promote such ECA store products to your PSAs so they can know that such ECAs is close to them. One way to do this is to talk of the benefits they will get patronizing the ECAs. So I will break the answer to your questions into two parts:

PART 1: THE BENEFITS TO YOUR PSAs.

1. Since the PSA is from the same country as your PSAs,they can buy products in their own currency.
2. Language barrier can be removed since they can both speak same language.
3. Local delivery process is much faster than across country borders.
4. Delivery time is equally very short, which is beneficial to them.

PART 2: ADVERTISING THE ECA TO YOUR PSAs.

1. Every ECA product and service has both CV (Commission Volume) and VP (VersaPoints) that can help them grow their business.
2. You may attach motivational bonuses to every sale/purchase made by your PSAs outside the normal CV.
3. With the combination of Direct Commissions and ECA Royalties, they can earn a handsome 55% of the CV on any sales generated!
5. They will receive special offers, deals, etc. from the ECA if they connect.
6. Point them to exciting ECA opportunities through training materials: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/ECAStrategies.
7. Your PSAs only need some level of strong conviction and good first-impression from the ECA to try it out, so proper advertising needed.
8. According to TripleClicks, the theme is "Spread the Word", so your marketing has no boundary, therefore:
- Put the ECA's promo card in every outgoing mails to these PSAs.
- Give the ECA's promo card to PSAs residing near you or that you have physical interaction with.
- Advertise the ECA program and web link in all your weekly outgoing emails to the PSAs concerned.

Best of luck!

There are many reasons this practice is helpful but many wont see them right away because there isn't always a immediate dollar amount attached to these actions. That's why SFI urges you to go over your training as many times as it takes to begin to see the BIG PICTURE.

The benefits:

1. Buying local saves you money on shipping and keeps dollars spent close to home.
2. Buying local creates local success stories other merchants can relate to making ECA recruitment easier.
3. With more ECA selling locally your local residents are able to find companies they already trust and benefit from having the things they use regularly available even when they don't have time to go to the store.
4. Since having more options to buy and save on shipping is so appealing and the trust level is rising your recruiting of PRM becomes easier which will lead to even more ECA referrals.

Since you started buying locally you have improved local ECA success rates which gets them bragging about their success and expansion and it leads competitors to wanting to tap into this stream of new revenue as well. They will not just join as an ECA but in most cases will offer you a better price or free shipping to get you to be their customer instead. The bidding war for your business will begin and it will cause them to soon sell more to people in neighboring countries or even half way around the world.

All of this is good for you because every ECA referral is worth 10% of their CV from sales for life and every PRM attracted by local names and brands at very affordable prices means more buyers shopping these stores so you get 45% of the CV from their purchases and 100% of the Sales VP as well.

All because you started shopping that local store and maybe the one in the next province and helped them increase revenues.

In advising your PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country, consider a bigger picture in how ECA can be run into a full scale promotion.

1. Before you can advise your PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country and reap the benefits with your PSAs, encourage them to connect with ECAs in their countries by going to this link:

www.tripleclicks.com/ecaCountries.php

If there is no ECA yet in their country, you can suggest to them to refer local businesses and earn lifetime royalties.

2. By directing your PSAs to buy from their local ECAs, you’re making them aware of the products available which might be beneficial to them not only as SFI/TC members but also for their households. This may help to drive the sales of their local ECAs.

3. When they start purchasing products from their local ECAs, they will get the following benefits:

- Convenient shopping in the comfort of their own home, saving time, energy and car mileage.

- Local ECAs offering “Will Call” option for local pickups of products ordered will save on shipping costs.

- As SFI affiliates and TC members can earn all the VPs they need and their local ECAs will get new customers. If there are SO (Standing Order) eligible products available, their local ECAs may have sales month after month. This will help increase the credibility of ECAs through the star ratings and testimonials of PSAs as customers. In general, their actions are very important in laying the groundwork for promoting ECAs in their countries.

- If they can do transfer buying from their local ECAs, they’ll accumulate VPs to help them move up/maintain their Overall Power Rank, Country Power Rank and Class Power Rank. They won’t be adding additional expense to their budget and they will automatically accumulate VPs for their commissions and benefits.

As a Team Leader how is advising your PSAs to buy from their local ECAs helpful to you?

- You’ll earn the trust of your PSAs as they advance in growing their SFI businesses and they will most likely follow your lead.

- You might be providing them very valuable support in this regard, especially in the early stages of establishing and maintaining their SFI businesses. In my experience, I have seen many times where my PSAs were so thankful for reminding them about the ways and means of growing their SFI businesses. Yes, we all know that SFI provides all the tools and resources and it takes time to learn and find the things we need as we go on performing our To-Do List. But your interaction with your PSAs may prove to be a much needed support by making them aware of what’s in there to help them.

This is a worldwide online business and you can buy products from any ECA at TripleClicks (TC) from any part of the world irrespective of where you reside. However, there are some benefits your PSAs stand to derive if you advice they buy from ECAs in their countries as stated below:

1. It may significantly reduce the cost of shipping as products are shipped and delivered within the same country. This will serve as motivation for your PSAs to make more purchases.

2. There is a degree of enhanced confidence and trust when your PSAs deal with local ECAs within the same cultural and traditional background because they have common ways of doing business on a local level.

3. There is the possibility of availing of local pick-ups (will-call option) which totally eradicates shipping costs and also has the potential of your PSAs to develop good business relationships with ECAs in their countries or even their localities. This may enhance the number of repeat customers and increase sales volume, which is a win-win situation for the ECAs, yourself and your PSAs, even the TC Executive Pool.

There are some of your PSAs who may not be interested in purchases at TC because of the often prohibitive shipping costs associated with some products and from far shipping locations, so by helping out in this way will encourage them to build their businesses where applicable.

4. Again, remember that one of the major reasons the Local Pay program was introduced is to address the problem of paying for goods purchased at TC because many affiliates do not have the wherewithal to choose any or most of the available payment methods, for example many do not have a credit card or a PayPal account among others.

Your encouraging them to patronise ECAs from their countries will help because they can pay for purchases with mutually agreed methods local to them and the ECAs. You see, some affiliates leave SFI as a result of payment difficulties, so when this problem is removed, there is the tendency that you will retain those who would have otherwise quit for this reason.

In conclusion, I must add that there is a limit you can go with this especially if the ECAs in their countries do not have the products they require at a particular time or on a continuous basis, then the next strategic advise you need to give them is to search for possibilities first, of buying from ECAs from nearby countries or within the same geographic region, second, before they go to the world at large.

Be the first to buy and discuss the importance and growth aspect relation that it brings in apart from the ease in end to end purchase process.

First of all and of great importance is the matter of fact that ECA’s are part of Tripleclicks and stronger they become, you would get more in your commissions. As to every sale there is a CV attached that contributes towards your matching VP from Tripleclicks Executive Pool.

In this process, making an order to local ECA’s would assist you with the following:

1. Better and faster communication. You can even contact them personally, meet them or can have direct communication via phone.
2. Delivery time or lag time as we call in the process of purchase is considerably less.
3. Shipment charges may not be there at all which otherwise is a huge deterrent to purchase of Tripleclicks products.
4. Better state of delivery would be ensured with local ECA

All these factors play their role in helping your team members to patronize ECAs in their own country.

To buy from ECA's in respective countries where PSA's are promotes product awareness and also improves the economy of their local community. A personal benefit would be that there would be no additional cost for shipping as he or she can go directly for local pick-up.

Local purchasing promotes a local healthy economy. For the PSA, when they purchase items they are able to give a review of the local business which promotes the ECA brand on the TripleClicks store. When the local ECA has a great "report card" review, this will be a way to encourage others to purchase from them too which then increases the membership for our TripleClicks store thus more sales.

PSA's may become more aware of what products on available that they can also use their knowledge to promote TripleClicks to others and direct customers to the ECA's home page to review other products which can lead to sales for the ECA and commission's for the PSA.

It is definitely helpful. Remember to always remind your team that sales is important in SFI. You yourself do not have to buy anything but you need to promote TripleClicks to the mass public in order to increase the TripleClicks Executive Pool value.

And if you have ECAs from your own country, that is even better because there would not be overly expensive shipping fees. I hear time and again that the expensive shipping fees are the reason some people would not buy from the internet. Obviously shipping from halfway round the world would be expensive. But if you have an ECA from your own country, it would at least lower that cost somewhat.

I am an ECA, and I offer free delivery to my own country. I still charge delivery for overseas but at varying rates.

If your PSA comes from a country that does not have much ECA presence, then that would be a great opportunity for them to develop their income stream as a sale from an ECA you referred will net you commissions forever!

The two most common excuses for not buying from TripleClicks have been, "I don't have any money," and, "The shipping is too expensive."

By moving the focus onto buying from local ECAs, the affiliate can often buy products that have little or no shipping cost. This gives them useable products and increases the local economy instead of sending money out of the country, it stays in the local country and improves on the profit line of the EA.

A wise affiliate will also taylor make his own purchasing market of items that he wishes to buy using his money and getting SVP in return along with the product. This wise one will also search for vendors who already sell the necessary items and who will list them on TC.

This strengthens both the local economy and lowers the total cost of the locally purchased items.

A team leader can also take new affiliates to an ECA and discuss the pros & cons of buying from the ECAs.
