Great Question!

For me, I would have to say the one's that I use the most are Genealogy and Hit Tracking/Keycodes.

The genealogy is incredibly useful to see how our PSA's are doing, but is also a very well thought out tool. Not only can you sort by various fields and apply filters to narrow down your search, most fields have links that you can drill into to gain even more information on your PSA's. The amount of information you can gather by just drilling into the links is incredible, and these links make it easy to find all the information you need in one place.

By applying filters, you can email messages using Team Mail that pertain to certain affiliates, making your Team Mails more targeted depending on where your PSA's are in developing their business; for example if you want to email a message to everyone who joined this week, or maybe for everyone that has not logged for more than 30 days. This allows us to get very targeted messages out to groups of affiliates quickly and easily making the Team Mails our PSA's receive more relevant to them.

Other tabs on the genealogy allow us to see if our PSA's are members of S Builder Co-Op; Reassign affiliates; View the VersaPoints they have accumulated this month, last month or for the year; etc.

There is so much information in the genealogy that gives us insight into our PSA's, I don't know if I could live without it!

Also, the Hit Tracker is something that I use often. I use a variety of paid and free advertising methods, and track them with Hit Tracking/Keycodes. The information that is provided lets me know how many clicks I receive from each method, as well as looking at the genealogy lets me know conversion rates. This way I can use both my time and money effectively when advertising my gateways.

This question is not one that has one specific answer. Why?

Power tools are named Power tools for a reason. You should be using them all as core to your business success. They all work as designed and serve a specific purpose and they all provide tremendous value and power. Thus, "Power" tool. Each tool should be utilized in your core business to build your power ranks.

1. S builder. - very useful to get into the S-Builder co-ops
2. Key codes - a must for tracking your ads as it provides unique codes to add to your gateway links
3. Hit tracking - a must for see how well your ads did that would not be possible without using key codes.
4. Co-op manager- needed to organize your co-ops and manage them
5. PSA mailer - very useful and should be used weekly to communicate with you team
6. CSA Mailer - same as PSA mailer but for CSA and just as useful
7. Reassignment manager - one of many genealogy tabs that is required to re-assign affiliates and very need strategic purpose
8. Affiliate Manager - genealogy tab that focus on managing your downline and a must use and needed tool
9. Genealogy - very needed useful and powerful tool that should be used and is the page for several of the tabs mentioned. Parent tool of sorts.
10. Gift certificate manager - another genealogy tab and widely used for gifting both new and awarded for good work affiliates.

As you can see, all of these are very necessary tools that interact with one another and all are effective if used in that manner and all should be used to build your power rank in SFI. I can truly say that every one of the ten tools listed are my favorite because they all work best for each purpose they were meant to be used for.

Hope this helps!

If you observed these power tools are for finding and managing affiliates. Let me put these power tools in these two categories then I will choose the power tool that In think more important than others.

Power Tools for Finding Affiliates:
1) S-Builder Coop
2) Co-op Manager
3) Key Code Tracking
4) Hit Tracking
5) Lifetime Custom Domain

From these 5, the best power tool for me is S-BUILDER COOP. for the following reasons:
- It brings quality affiliates.
- It is very easy to participate just buy it or win it from auction that's it. Just wait for your affiliate to come. Very good for those who are new in internet marketing.
- You earn VP upon purchase.
- You can also use it to coop called cooping the coop. use this as reward to your hard working affiliates.
- It ads a badge under your name.
- The price is reasonable.

Power Tools for Managing Affiliates:

1) Communication tools (PSA, CSA Mailer and Group Messaging)
2) Reassignment Manager (links from Genealogy Report)
3) Affiliate Manager (links from Genealogy Report)
4) Genealogy
5) Gift Certificate Manager

From these power tools, the most important here is the GENEALOGY. Here's the reasons why.
- It gives you information about your PSA and CSA. specially when you use the different filters.
- It enable you to contact your individual, filtered or even all your affiliates.
- It gives you the matching VP's you earn.
- It gives you the number of affiliates in each generation.

Dear,

I see, many have conveyed their best preference in Power tools. Let me also convey you what I felt best for me.

1. Genealogy: I would say genealogy is the best tool for any affiliate because it helps us GUIDE our downline to work better for their as well as our success. Genealogy helps us understand and review the work progress we did to build up the business.

2. Communication: I would give 2nd preference to PSA/CSA mailer option, because without a proper communication no business will be successful. Our success depends on how our downline succeed. To help our downline succeed, we need to communicate well with them. PSA/CSA mailers would help us to achieve this.

3. S-builder Co-op: I would give 3rd preference to S-builder Co-op, because it provides us new sign-ups to work under us. To have a successful and strong downline affiliates, we need to recruit them through many ways. One of the best ways to get a good number of affiliates is to acquire a S-builder (though i don't have one, i read many success stories of S-builder).

4. Key-Code Tracking: I would give 4th preference to Key-code Tracking. If we have many ways to recruit a few affiliates, then to know how and from which ads did we get a new affiliate can be found out by key-code tracking. This will help us to improve the advertising more fruitful.

5. Gift-Certificate Manager: Though I haven't tried yet, I would give this my 5th position of preference. This gift-certificate would help us get more affiliates to make our business successful.


I hope my note may bring some positive thoughts to you dear readers.

Have a wonderful day and successful future.....

Hello Sherri Cecil,

Top of the day to you and indeed all SFI affiliates.

In other to answer your questions, i will like to list all the Power Tools as provided by SFI under the POWER TOOLS tab found on the SFI homepage. You can use this link to explore it: http://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools

The power tools are: S-Builder Co-op, Key codes, Hit Tracking, Co-op Manager, PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, Reassignment Manager, Affiliate Manager, Genealogy, Gift Certificate Manager.

Let me emphasis that all the Power Tools are important to your growth and success as an affiliate, as such, i make use of them all.

Of all the SFI's Power Tools as listed above, the ones that has worked best for me are; The Hit Tracking, the PSAs/CSAs Mailer,and the Gift Certificate Manager.

I will tell you why...

1. Hit Tracking Tool - I, like most affiliates here do a lot of advertisement in several
places. With the Hit Tracking tool in addition to the key code tool, i am able to tell
which of the various advert sources and gateways work best for me. I have found this tool
to be a very valuable tool in running my SFI ads campaign.

2. PSAs/CSAs Mailer - Apart from advertising, the PSAs/CSAs Mailer is one of the most
valuable tools found on SFI. SFI management strongly recommend that you greet and welcome
your PSAs and CSAs. This tool is used to quickly send newsletters, training, tips and other
messages to your PSAs and CSAs. Messages are sent to both PSAs/CSAs registered emails and
''Team Mails'' respectively. I use this tool to effectively to that. One more thing why i
love this tool is that, you are given 30 Versa Points just by using it weekly.

3. Gift Certificate Manager - I have to admit that, this is one tool i recently started
using. I highly recommend it for you too. You see, Gift Certificates is a wonderful tool
for leaders who want to encourage their team members to get active with SFI and is a great
way to grow your business. I discovered the power of using this tool when i sent a gift
certificate to one of my PSA when she made EA. Since then, i have learn to send all my
PRMs Gift Certificates upon sign up even though most of the do not utilize my gift.

These are the Power Tools that have worked best for me with reasons as stated above. Like i earlier mentioned, i make use of all the Power Tools as provided by SFI. All serious affiliates should learn to make use of the Power Tools to grow their business. With time, you should be able to tell which among the valuable tools work best for you.

Do have a nice day.

The best power tool for me is the gift certificate manager and I will tell you why. We are all here to make money with SFI, the no.1 reason why you want to use gift certificates is to boost morale and foster goodwill. No one likes to think that someone else is getting the greatest benefit of their efforts. Although this is not true, if your affiliates perceive that you are only interested in your own success then they are not going to do their best. Moreover, if you are not supporting them, you shouldn't expect them to. You can't lead where you will not go.

Through effective use of gift certificates you can:

1. Motivate those to action who may have doubts about your intentions thereby building liking and trust.

2. Accelerate the success of motivated affiliates toward greater milestone achievements.

3. Boost the moral of your network because people don't care about what you say as much as what you do. Actions speak louder than words.

So if you are going to bank on a power tool that is going to build your network to higher heights, boost your activity percentage, curb attrition rates, AND explode network sales through multiple generations then the gift certificate manager is just the right tool for job!

SFI provides many powerful tools to grow your business. But to me the best ones are

1. Co-op Manager
This is one of the best tools I ever saw in any marketing business. This helps me building a strong team of my own to deep level. We always know people in networking business gets heavily frustrated when they could not get affiliates signing under them. They always find it difficult in initial months and give up before they learn the techniques. But this tools allows me to provide them new sign ups every month by my own effort and keep them motivating. Once they learn the techniques, they will find their own way and build team of their own.

2. Genereology Mailer

This has many advantages. This is like building a list with your own recruited people and teaching. It helps me in sending real powerful tips to all my down line on a single click. It helps me in keeping in touch with all my downlines and help me solving their problem. In this way I have made many active affiliates who were dead few weeks back.

Hope you realize it

The S-Builder Co-op gives you a great value for your money. For less than a dollar a day you can build your SFI business using SFI's advertising methods, which are proven successful! I think any serious affiliate should have a 1500 VP Standing Order and the S-Builder Co-op! Using these tools and spending your time assisting your PRMs, PSAs and CSAs you will build your SFI business steadily.

Although there is never any requirement in SFI to purchase anything, most serious affiliates realize the reality that an investment in their business will pay itself back in the long run. Of course if all you want to do is sign up PRMs and promote TripleClicks that's great! But if you want to build a team of affiliates ready willing and able to promote SFI, using this tool is something you will be thankful you did.

Think in the long term and add S-Builder as a standing order! Then work with your affiliates and build a lasting business for them. Your rewards will come naturally as you help your team.

Hello Sherri Great question

Which of the Power Tools works best for me would have to be the S-Builder Co-op because I get referrals from me winning an auction or outright purchasing shares each month. I have had a few active affiliates from the Co-op but most as of now have been inactive. I still feel it is my favorite Power Tool because for the price and what I get (more potential superstars) then I am happy.

One thing I would like to mention is SFI, me, or anyone else cannot predict if an affiliate will or will not be active! I have done my part and I continue to do my part in sending them weekly messages and updates but its their choice to decide if they are active or not. I wish all affiliates were active but there are a lot of people who do not understand the potential of what SFI has to offer them, it's sad really

Back to the question S-Builder offers so much in return for each share that I try to buy or win it as often as I can (I live on a very limited budget right now and cannot always afford to keep an active share each month) but it is a win-win I get PSA's in my downline and I am active in SFI/TripleClicks daily and I am building my business (slowly but surely)

I hope my answer has been Helpful

Thanks and I will see you at the top!

You are right in saying that SFI has many Power Tools...

...for my efforts and work with SFI as an affiliate, I have found the use of the Co-op Manager the best fit for my business approach.

The Co-op Manager enables me to subscribe members from my down-line to become mentors-business coaches to new affiliates meanwhile supports growth of the whole team. I have found the Co-op Manager to be a great asset as this tool helps to leverage the skill sets of every one who is subscribed to the Co-op Manager, promotes time management for the whole team while undergoing a growth curve, and provides a way for me to recognize fellow affiliates who are part of my down-line team.

The Co-op Manager is such a great tool as you simply subscribe, set it up and that is it. SFI "does all the heavy lifting" to assist with growth of your team through the use of the Co-op Manager Tool.

All in all, there is really no cost to set up and in my opinion the value added service of the Co-Op Manager is PRICELESS.
