What are the big picture things you are doing to make your SFI business a success?

We are talking “broad strokes” here so I won’t go into detail but I think we need to be doing two main things: -

1. We need to understand how SFI works, its system, its structure, its innovations, its infrastructure, its products and services and we need to actively embrace these.

SFI has given us a free platform for our business. We need to be using each aspect of this as best we can to our advantage. This includes: - Our SFI Homepage, our TConnect Page, our Leadership Page, our ECA store, our Gateways, our own Co-op, etc. So, come on board, understand each of these things and learn to use them as best you can.

SFI is innovative, always amending existing features and programs and introducing new ones. We need to keep on top of all these and jump on board them. Let’s see where SFI can take us.

This leads to the second thing we need to be doing: -

2. Learn everything you can about internet marketing and online selling. SFI has an internet training course (old and revised) available for us to study and teach us what to do.

And there is specific information on the website about each facet of the SFI.

We need to read and study these things such that we become knowledgeable
Then we will be able to use them effectively ourselves and train our team to do the same.

And I think we need to think long-term. No business just happens. It takes work and time. My advice is, stay with SFI and work your SFI business. Treat each day as a step in creating a solid foundation for your SFI business. If you do that then things will start happening over time and one thing will build on another.

Thinking about what I have just written. What I am really saying is – SFI has provided us with this wonderful business vehicle to financial independence, we just need to learn how to use it. The big picture things I have mentioned are all about developing ourselves and our abilities.

Let’s go for it. “Aim higher Dream bigger.”

Great question. Your main focus should be to set the example to your downing as well as your upline. You must complete your daily to do list, work to promote your business, participate in all areas which promote your advancement to upp34 levels of SFI Management, focus heavily on duplication of your Affiliates and communicate with them often, set high goals for yourself and achieve them or exceed them and focus on ways to improve your professional business attitude remaining focused on motivating encouraging and leading your team toward success. You should never quit and encourage your team not to. You are to take this advice and pass it on because it is mission critical. Becoming a great sponsor is another big item, which is a reason I am still here. Ask Gery has also saved me a lot of of wasted time and has given me a wealth of knowledge.

The big picture is of course to have a team of affiliates that support your SFI business. To achieve this:

1. Advertising & Marketing are crucial. Use every tool in the toolbox and always improve on your performance. Promote products not the opportunity.

2. Sponsor PSAs/CSAs/PRMs/ECAs to get multiple streams of income flowing.

3. Support your team. Follow all of the awesome sponsor tips as given in the affiliate center.

4. Create strategic alliances and work with leaders in the industry as well as in SFI.

5. Persevere through all of the challenges to obtain your goals.

In order to see the big picture, you have to take a step back and plan for the future. The end of the road for me will be a retirement on my terms, and this means that I have to make my income last for the rest of my life. SFI is part of my plan because I can see the potential for making my plans a reality.

Just like planting a seed for an apple tree, we have to exercise patience with growing a successful business, and it begins with setting goals every month. Don't just use the goals tab for gaining a daily versa point, use it as a challenge for you to step it up. Be realistic and set goals that you can make with a little hard work. Once you get to the next level, set another goal to keep moving forward.

Along with the goals tab on the home page, I made a personal monthly goal to spend only what I earn in commission from the previous month. I was doing great with that until a couple of months ago when I lost a couple of active CSA/PSAs, but I am working my way back to that point. Once you get to the point of spending only what you made the previous month, you can start working on operating at a profit.

Overall, make sure you stay positive because even with setbacks, making progress towards a goal is better than having to start from the beginning.

The big focus for me - long term planning, is to provide an opportunity to others who are looking for a way to have a sustainable resource to support their family, extended family and local community.

The economy has it's highs and lows which has an impact on the emotional health and social health of families and people in general. SFI is a means to creating a stable economy for everyone which then will be a resource to assist with reducing the stress that is experienced when the mainstream economy has a low/dip.

The internet has made the opportunity for all to work collaboratively to work on solutions to poverty - not only for third world countries but also for our very own poverty issues experienced by our neighbours or their friends and family.

I am working on spreading the word about SFI through the use of CSA's and PSA's as they are the front line workers in their own communities and countries as to be best able to identify where there are issues and how SFI can be a tool for people to raise themselves out of crisis with the assistance of others - world wide.

This is my BIG PICTURE focus - current debt that is experienced by this generation does not become the gift of tomorrow - Gift of tomorrow is Health, Prosperity and Success for every man, woman and child.

When people are not in distress we are better able to focus on other issues such as the shared resources - clean water, education-global knowledge and global citizenship.

For me the above is only achievable when we all are working from the same framework - SFI is the framework that will help all.

Are you asking about the big picture in SFI only, or the BIG picture which is the internet?

To be really successful in SFI, you have to conquer marketing. The internet is where most of us have to market, and conquering that can be as BIG a problem as you can get. Conquer that, and you will make income from more than the SFI program. You can work SFI as your major program and add to it with other internet marketing techniques. Here are my suggestions for internet marketing strategy.

1. Check out what ever you see available to you both free and paid. Spend some time researching and reading how to master different types of internet marketing.

2. Pick THE one that you feel will work best for you within your limitations financially and time wise. Read and study until you become an expert on that ONE type of marketing.Stick with this marketing project and you will not only do well in SFI, but do well marketing.

3. Then you can reach out to become bigger, but if you try to do all of the different ways at first, you will become overwhelmed and more likely to quit than if you master the different methods of marketing one at a time.

If you have the time and income, doing local marketing in the newspaper, online local programs or even TV are other areas to explore. The old adage, "Work Your Warm Market First" can pay off. You can do this while you are going about your daily business. If you are looking at the BIG picture, you will want to use every opportunity you can to merchandise wherever and whenever you are able.

1. TC has marketing materials you can leave anywhere and give to friends. These include several different cards, postcards and letters you can mail out. Just check out the materials in TC. Always have them readily available. Pass them out everywhere. Leave them wherever you are, give them to clerks, taxi drivers, leave on tables at restaurants, seats in the bus, and don't forget to drop them off in your neighborhood. Go to your local library and put a card in the books about business opportunities, or working on the web, or making a second income, anything that could relate to SFI or a TC niche.

2. Hold group meetings in your neighborhood, with your friends and colleagues, use Skype, put your business on your phone message, and talk to everyone possible about the ECA items in TC. If you hear someone is interested in something, look it up in TC and tell them to check for it there.

3. Be proactive and think of creative ways to present your business at every opportunity. Don 't wait for someone to ask you. Ask them if they want to know more about shopping on the web. Ask if they need a second income. Take a cue from what they are saying and turn it into a sales presentation.

This was BIG answer. I hope that it was helpful.

I regard SFI business as my own company and invest time and money in promoting SFI. I do daily actions to gain ten free points which amount to 300 per month.
I have also taken the opportunity to subscribe to S-Builder which gives me five to ten affiliates every month. Out of these two or three advance to executives, hence growing my SFI business.
I have a personal blog where I write articles about owning an online business by sighting SFI for example. I do get a few sign ups into my SFI business. Recently I have started targeting entrepreneurs to encourage them to invest in this lucrative business. This month I received 100 responses of which I am working on. If ten of them agree to invest in SFI, then it will be a boost for me.

Hi Robert

Your question is interesting but seems to be directed towards the Big Dogs.

Although I have big picture in my mind that is becoming a Diamond as soon as possible, but as you know “The man proposes God disposes”.

I am stuck at Gold Team Leader not because of financial difficulties, but untoward events that happen in life. For example, I was in hospital for almost a month. I took my Laptop there and continued to be a GTL.

I use the following methods:

1. I have a personal website to advertise SFI and TC products.

2. I use Safelist advertising on few good old reputed ones,

3. I use Traffic exchange websites for advertising my SFI/TC/EZ games gateways.

4. I use solo Ads.

5. I use text ads exchange programs.

6. I use social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Linked in, MySpace, APSense etc.

7. I distribute invitation cards to everyone where I get a chance.

8. I am trying to enroll some ECAs from my region.

9. The idea is to reach Diamond at any cost.

10. Then I may relax a little, till then lot of hard work, persistence is required in spite of rejections at many occasions.

Hope it helps
Have a wonderful day !!

I'm working at creating a residual income from SFI - so that in the future I can spend less time working hard at SFI, or, in particular, at the marketing of SFI. If I succeed with this, it will allow me more time to nicely support my affiliates, and to simply have fun at SFI.

Marketing is of the utmost importance with any business. One can have the most amazing product, service, or website, but if not many people know about the existence of that product, service or website, or the benefits of having that product, ordering that service or visiting that website, not much money will be made from it.

My ultimate goal is to have high traffic websites, with the traffic coming from set-and-forget advertising techniques, like good on-site Search Engine Optimization.

These sites will generate the following sign ups for me:
PSAs
PRMs
ECAs

Working hard at creating a future constant stream of the sign ups one needs to succeed at SFI, to me, is not just a big picture thing, but a huge picture thing.

Well, Robert, for me, right from the start, the "biggest" picture has been to be in business for myself.

Of course, now that I am, there are more "things" for me to consider such as:

1. Exposing my business through every means feasible such as email marketing, social media, offline marketing (feet to store) introducing TripleClicks' ECA Program, and even direct mail solicitation.

2. I've set up a Standing Order (SO) making certain each month I have adequate amount of VersaPoints (SVP and AVP) to maintain at least Executive Affiliate (or, EA2) each month.

3. I also concentrate on building my own Downline (Team) focusing on DUPLICATION, just as I'm sure you have been instructed, and making certain that I include with each member contact the overall "Plan of Action" for their strong concentration.

4. Monitoring each members actions taken on a daily basis, starting with my "Movers" (those most active in my Downline/Team) and, then, moving onto all the other less active members.

These are the things I concentrate on most right now, and I hope they help you during your membership stay here at SFI.
