I certainly agree that there is a misconception when mentioning to an affiliate you need to place a standing order to maintain your status. The way I present the reason for putting in a standing order is, you want to promote your business, invest in yourself, and connect with other affiliates. Putting in a standing order is a way that you can do all of those things. For me I put in a standing order for postcards, tc credits, things i need to promote my SFI business.

Hi,
Yes, just tell them that this will allow them to have a 1500 Versa points without too much trouble .. And with 1500 points they will earn money.
In the end, 29 bucks is not such a great investment. It is possible that many of your partner spend much more on beer consumption.

A standing order gives peace to your mind as you are pressing toward your goal. The SO is like a foundation on which to build. Any VPoints added speed you to your ultimate goal. It is like a super-charger to your engine. It actually pays for itself in the savings on TripleClick purchases. The first SO really makes good sense. If you can have more than one, your progress will be evident. Last of all, it encourages your affiliates.

I highly recommend becoming a member with IAHBE. This gives you soooo much more training and resources to be extremely successful as well as FREE things like extensive training, subscriptions to business magizines and more (check it out see for yourself).

If you make it a Standing Order than you are EA. In order to make your rating higher and for you to make the most commission in your business you need to stay at EA each month.

If you drop lower you lose your CSA's and the

I think you have to meet people where they're at. So if they can just start out with a small order or co-op share and see the benefits, that will help them to see the value of growing their business.

SFI is centered around being an easy program and that is what most people want when they sign up to a free and easy to use program. The first step is to obviously have a standing order of your own; people aren't going to follow what your saying if you haven't done it yourself.

Second, explain how much easier this makes their program, i.e. they can take more time to learn the program and accumulate their points because they are guaranteed to make the pay pool every month, I then would

Hmm... Since I dont have a standing order my self because i don't have credit card I would like to share "How I encouraged my affiliates to have an standing order even if I don't have". I have at least 3 who have an standing order.

1. I introduced them to standing orders and tell them honestly why I can not have an standing order buy if given the opportunity that will be one of the first thing I will do.

2. I will give them the link to explain the benefits of having

Obviously, one must set up a standing order first before thinking of encouraging others to do it.

Furthermore, the best ting I would suggest is to just encourage them to learn the basics here at SFI. They will definitely be instructed and reminded by SFI how important it is to maintain the EA status and that the best way is to be on a standing order.
Those who really want to grow a business will apply the system and do what is needed.

First of all, be an example to your affiliates by setting up a Standing Order yourself. Second, show your affiliates in your emails how a Standing Order helps them reach EA and Team Leader status every month without having to worry about ordering their products each month. The beauty of the Standing Order is that you can order products eligible for Standing Orders at reduced rates. An IAHBE membership, TCredits, S-Builder Co-Op shares and other items offered at TripleClicks, such as vitamin/mineral

One way to encourage them, if you know that they are serious about building their SFI business, is to first recommend the IAHBE. In my opinion, this will give them the greatest help in building their SFI business. It pays for itself each and every month with the free book & magazine of the month, alone! The information & training with it is priceless! Not only does it come with the 1500VP for their EA qualification, the price is so very reasonable. And now to encourage them that this
