SFI is making available to us, affiliates, a vast, ever expanding package of business building resources and tools. With the very recent introduction of the Uber Picks games and the PrivacyMaxx Identity Theft Protection, we will always be in a learning mode to master the effective use of all the tools.

To fully maximize our SFI business building results, we need a sound methodology.

My approach has been to proceed step by step: learning each tool, identifying which resources to combine with that tool for maximum results. For instance, advertising and marketing are indispensable. To effectively undertake such tasks in maximizing my business building efforts, I learn how to combine the tracking codes with my gateways, the marketing aids such as banners, and the advanced marketing methods with my promotional campaigns through personal websites, blogs, social media, free or paid advertising and youtube video channeling.

This is one illustration on how to combine various resources and tools.

There are conditions to be met before we start such activities if we are to be successful. We need to know how to write blogs and website content, insert banners, build email marketing campaigns, evaluate the outcome, make corrections to improve the results.

Another example may be how to assist our PSAs/CSAs in their development process to be full fledged affiliates and independent team leaders. Here, we have to know how to apply the guidelines on being an "awesome sponsor", from our initial welcome email to the stage where we are guiding our affiliates on how to organize contests to motivate their own teams. The Genealogy filters combined with the various team mail features, individual communications as well as selective motivational messages are all important parts of our sponsoring arsenal.

After we fully master a set of specific tools and know how to combine them with the most adequate resources for optimum results, while we continue to apply them, we move to the next tools and set of resources that go together.

My personal goal is to fully take advantage of as many income streams as I can. Each one of them has specific markets. I intend to gain the knowledge on how to penetrate such markets, and master the sales techniques that will allow me to gain customers.

One of the worthy challenges a marketer will face is: how to maintain successful business relationships with those customers to keep them are repeat buyers.

One last important point I want to emphasize is: to teach duplication to my team members. As I build my experience and knowledge of the resources, tools and markets, I also want to share with my downline and motivate them to apply the same approach to maximizing their positive results in building their own SFI businesses

At the start I don't think it is too important to take advantage of EVERY tool available, but over time certainly try and incorporate these tools into your SFI business. SFI is a business where you start slowly as you learn, and then as your knowledge grows so will your entire SFI presence, and this is when you really start using the mountain of tools that SFI provides.

When you first start just use the very basic tools that SFI provides, like the clearly defined Getting Started Actions and Launchpad Emails, like SFI on Facebook and Twitter, use their banners on your web sites etc., these are the ground-roots tools that will get you started. As you delve deeper into SFI and start building your on-line presence, you then start to use other awesome tools like your Genealogy Report to monitor your down-lines. I think this is probably the most powerful tool that SFI provides, so use it as often as you can. If you see affiliates doing well, congratulate them if you see some that are struggling, help them. Remember, if they don't succeed then neither do you, so you need to help them all the way.

As your SFI business reaches new heights, seek out new tools within SFI, look through all the tabs and find more and more tools that you can adapt to your business, the site is packed full of them, you just need to find them. And the only way you are going to find them, and eventually use them, is by research, research, research. This is how you will learn what all is actually available, you can implement these tools and strategies to build your business, and then you can guide your down-lines on how to use these tools also.

Good luck...

How do I take advantage of every tool in the SFI system to maximize my success here?

SFI provided HEAPS of tools. The website is HUGE. So we are very lucky that we have this TREASURE CHEST to dive into and learn to use for our benefit – AND IT’S ALL FREE!!! Thank you SFI.

So, firstly we must realize and appreciate just how valuable these assets are. I am just so thankful that I have found SFI. This fuels my enthusiasm to get working in SFI everyday AND to tell my team, to inspire and encourage them also. I use the STREAM posts and GROUP mail to do this to everyone in my team and E-cards and personal emails for individuals. So, firstly we grow our business from the high plateau of these riches.

Has anyone used every tool in SFI? I know I haven’t and I am still learning to use the tools I do currently use AS BEST I CAN. But I find it’s best to just dive in and start using a tool because I “learn as I do” and “with practice comes perfection”. And as I go I learn how to adapt each tool for a specific circumstance.

SFI is evolving so fast that we need to stay on top of things. So it is a priority that we read everything that SFI sends us each day as soon as we can – in our emails, on our ALERTS page, SFI Corporate posts under the STREAM posts tab, messages in our Message Manager. Also read all of Gery’s replies to Forum questions - these are very informative and I find they help me better understand the topic being discussed. So these are probably the FIRST tools to use. And I do this because I don’t want to miss out on anything and "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!’

SFI has a system. This is the second tool we must master. So I spend a lot of time learning and understanding the SFI system; how it works and how to use it. This is a great confidence booster to me because the SFI system is VERY GOOD and it WORKS. It is robust and secure. It has integrity. SFI does what they say they will do. I can rely on it. And they do it efficiently. I just LOVE it. And it inspires me to set the same standards myself and to apply these same principles to my SFI business, in how I treat my team and prospective customers.

Part of the SFI system is that we must “WORK DAILY”. This is the only way in which we can grow a successful SFI business. Hence SFI both encourages us and rewards us to do so – by giving us over 30% of our VP ranking requirements towards EA each month just for doing a minimum amount of work in our SFI business each day. This is a great tool to master.

Then SFI has also given us our own websites – Our TConnect page, our ECA TConnect page, our Leadership Pages, and our gateway pages. These too are all FREE. We should try to use these as best we can. I think these should be developed before we get our own website and blogs. These should be the HUB of our SFI business. That is what they are for. We should be directing traffic to them and using them as marketing tools.

These are the big things on which our SFI business hinges. Other tools will help make these more effective – such things as a great photo, an avatar, a string of badges, a great welcome letter. SFI also gives us samples of how something may be done – these are great tools to use and adapt as we think appropriate.

I’ve listed the tools that SFI gives us that form the platform on which we can build our SFI business but the SFI and TripleClicks websites are also full of tools that are for specific purposes – that we can use in the platform that we build; such things as the marketing tools and banners. We are only limited in their use by our own imaginations, creativity, marketing and management skills, and resources.

AND to back all this up SFI has set up a great administration and support center for us. We have our own upline. We have a support centre that will answer any questions that we have 24/7. And we have a processing centre that handles our orders, payments, shipments, commissions etc. Each of us has access to all these levels of support. What a great tool? We are never alone. We should feel comfortable in using these. SFI treats us with respect and always does its best for us.

And I think it is the combination of all these tools working together that will make our SFI business as success. This is truly a worthy business in which to invest our time and abilities.

It is true that if you make the most of SFI resources, it is possible to enhance success. I would like to categorise the SFI Power tools in four categories:

1. Marketing/Advertising/Sales
2. Communication
3. Recognition and Rewards
4. Games and competitions

Under category 1, if you study the SFI resources in detail, you can promote your product through effective advertising, both paid and unpaid and easily transform that product into earnings through sales. For example if you have a personal website, you can make use of promotion banners from SFI, which you can link to your own site.

Communication tools such as PSA and CSA mailer, Genealogy and Affiliate manager, allow you to effectively share your ideas with members of your SFI team and this in turn is important for team building.

Recognising hard work from your team members also helps to motivate the stars of your team. Gift certificates, Tcredits rewards and PSA reassignment are some of the many tools in this category that you can use. The success associated with this type of tools is long rather than short-term.

At first, it does not seem obvious as to how one can maximise their success at SFI through games and competitions. But the truth is that you can and here are a few ways; first you can earn versa points, members reward points and Tcredits from games. For example on your lucky day, you could win a share of the Card King game, 10, 11, 12 or more Tcredits depending on the total size on that day. Secondly, it is easier to promote games to friends and family through social media than it is to sell them something. “Challenge A Friend” from Knockout Trivia is a good example of promoting games with a sense of humour. Thirdly but not the least, games help to lift your moods and that may be just what you need when you are feeling low.

These SFI resources do not necessarily operate in isolation. For example “effective communication” is just as important in Team Building as it is in Marketing and advertising.
A proper and effective use of the power tools will develop your business.

Good day Robert,

Nice question and my advice is to take advatage of every tool as they all help in accelerating your business.

1. PSA 2 Go and S- builder co op:- With this tool, it helps to build a team of hard working affiliates and purchases made by your PSAs/PRM, will earn you some commission based on their purchases.

2. Key Code Tracking:- With this tool, it helps to identify which of his or her advertisements are working and which are not. Identifying with such a tool can maximize your sales and recruiting.

3. Hit Tracking:-Like Key Code tracking, if you're not monitoring the amount of traffic coming to your SFI Gateway Websites, you're "flying blind." Use our
Hit Tracking tool to help you gauge which Gateways are working best
for you.

4. Co-op Manager:- This tool comes in handy especially if you want to reduce the cost of advertising in your team. Not only are you reducing the cost, but you are also sharing the benefits. So its not only a power tool but a win win situation.

5. Communication:- Communication is key as we need to share ideas with our PSAs, CSAs via PSA mailer, CSA mailer or Genealogy. With this tool, we are expanding our business horizon and sky rocketing our commissions. Asides that the act of duplication is key which can make our income grow exponential.

6. Reassignment Manager(links from Genealogy Report):- SFI's Reassignment tool provides you with an great way to provide action, upgrade, and team-building incentives and rewards to affiliates in your downline. A great tool for sparking growth and momentum in your group

7. Gift Certificate Manager:- With this tool, you can use it to reward hardworking affiliates with a gift certicate to use at TripleClicks.

8. Lifetime Custom Prestige Domain:- Forget trying to use arcane, hard-to-remember Web addresses with long, unwieldy numbers in your marketing aids...Get your own prestigious domain to use in your promotions of SFI, TripleClicks, Pricebenders, etc. Yours to use for as long as you remain an SFI
affiliate in good standing, your Lifetime Custom Prestige Domain will work well in all types of marketing, including e-mail, Web banners, print media ads, garments, automobile banners, billboards, car signs and more!

In summary using all tools will not only make you boost your business, but also make you successful.

Hi Robert,

GREAT question because SFI has a plethora of time tested, tried and true learning opportunities for us to tap into. Since there is so much information available to learn on SFI I recommend creating a plan and strategy. This is essential for successful business building no matter what the business. Approaching something willy nilly will typically not produce consistently positive results.

So my advice? Once you have mastered all the basics of SFI (doing daily tasks and engaging in forums and news updates daily) think about what your strategy is for advertising, marketing and growing your business. Choose what area you would like to begin your marketing campaign. Internet marketing or social media or a direct mailing campaign .. the opportunities are endless.

Two key places to go are:

The "Training" tab (https://www.sfimg.com/Training/ReferralTraining)

The Sitemap (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/Sitemap)

Focus on one topic at a time and take the time to work through the whole course before beginning the next one. Practice what you are learning. It will take time, permit yourself that time and put into practice whatever you can from your day's lessons.

I am not sure that I fully answered your question but I hope that I have at least provided you some additional ideas in tapping into the wealth of knowledge the SFI places at our fingertips.

Be Strong and Keep the Faith! :-)

Knowing what tools you need to maximize your success at SFI, it is worth looking closely at all of SFI Power Tools provided free for all Affiliates and easily accessible at your Homepage. There are so many helpful tools to choose from. Someone once said, a good carpenter who wants to build a good house should have one important tool in his hand - the hammer.

So it is crucial to know which basic tools to use that will help boost and accelerate the growth of your SFI business.

Building a successful SFI business obviously involves building a team of active and productive people, and to this end we need the proper tools to use, such as:

. S-Builder Co-op & PSAs To Go

It takes knowledge, experience, time., money and internet know-how to start an advertising campaign. The easiest and best way to do this if you lack any of the skills mentioned is to purchase a share or shares of the S-Builder to get brand-new sign-ups. But this may take a few weeks so purchasing brand-new PSAs would be the PSAs To Go to add to your downlines to build your team quicker.

. Keycode Tracking and Hit Tracking

If you decide to do your own advertising, you need a method for identifying which of your advertisements are working and which are not. This is how Key Code Tracking tool gives you ability to easily pinpoint where good results are coming from in order to maximize your sales and recruiting and to know which Gateways are working.

. Genealogy

The sign-ups generated from your ad campaign will show up in your Genealogy. Use your Genealogy to manage your growing organization, send individual and group messages to your entire organization (or any segment), monitor sales activity, award gift certificates, reassign sponsors, and more

. Reassignment Manager

This tool is a great one to use as it provides action, upgrade, and team-building incentives and rewards to affiliates in your downline. A great tool for sparking growth and momentum in your group and to ensure activity is alive and well.

The Affiliate Manager under this tool has the information and data on each of your personally sponsored affiliates. Clicking an affiliate's name in your SFI Genealogy Report will give access to the Affiliate Snapshot. For your PSAs and CSAs, the Affiliate Manager provides a handy checklist of supportive suggestions for you. The Affiliate Manager also contains signup dates/times, key codes, ranks, VersaPoint totals, the most recent login dates, goal information, performance statistics, and more.

. Gift Certificate Manager

Gift Certificates are wonderful tools for Team Leaders who want to entice customers to try TripleClicks.com and encourage their team members to take action, upgrade, sponsor affiliates, and more. It is simple too- by setting up and funding a Gift Certificate Account, just add the funds you want to set aside for your gift certificate offers. SFI notifies the customer or affiliate that he or she has a gift certificate and automatically deducts the amount from your special account when it's redeemed. If the gift certificate is not used, you get it back to be used again to help another member of your team.

These are only some of the most important tools that I think will help maximize your success in SFI. You may choose other tools or a combination of tools which will suit your business goals the most.
