There are very simple secrets that sponsors should tell their downlines, especially the new, aggressive type; who want to be rich fast.

SFI is an e-commerce group; that sells to gain profits and share same to all affiliates, depending upon ones performance.

The heart of SFI is the TripleClicks store. It is from this store that all the action of generating commissions is based. So then if one avoids selling or using a little money as a bait, to earn a 'fish' how can one get a

It takes time for the new affiliate to learn that a small investment is wise in any business venture. It takes money to make money, and this is true. You gain VP points to make your EA each month. If each affiliate would at least go into a Coop S-Builder they could recognize their dreams a lot sooner. We have to keep on telling them this and showing them this. You may can get them interested with a Gift Certificate, and thus they can invest a small amount into a Coop S-Builder. I try to tell

You can get this important point across to them a lot better if you yourself can demonstrate what you have invested. Be it your time (which is money) or the programs, products or processes you use to boost your business. If you can show how successful you are, demonstrate how you’re benefiting by investing, it would make it much easier to discuss with them their plans going forward.

I would, without trying to be a salesman, communicate what I’m doing, ask them what they are doing and

There is this saying: you have to spend money to make money!

There is no business that becomes profitable w/o investment; whether time, energy or money and most of time a business requires all these types of investments.

SFI is no different: we invest time and energy every day by doing the daily tasks, advertising, sponsoring, recruiting, selling, etc. This will eventually lead to having a team and being successful.
But without monetary investment it will take a little

First of all one should keep it in mind that SFI affiliating is a business. Every business needs time, investment and planning. So SFi also needs investment. But we can make minor investment in some fields in SFI so that, it in turn make our business flourished. So I suggest minor investment in the following field to grow your business:

1) You may opt for S-builder co-op which will give you VP as well as PSAs. You know more and more active PSAs are the key to success in SFI.

The easiest way to convince an affiliate of investing a small amount of money in SFI is a good idea is to provide a personal example of how you were able to do so. For instance, I purchased a pack of TripleClicks giftcards, and I also got the S-Builder program as part of my standing order, and a few TCredits. In this way, I was able to have some TCredits for bidding in auctions and placing items for sale on line(which earned me great products and money from sales), helped me achieve EA status each

Hi Irena,

Lead by example. Show them what you're getting for your investments. If you're a team leader then show them how you get matching vp and second home CSAs which all add to your income. Explain to them how they will be getting shares in the executive pool for just reaching EA rank and maintaining it.

In your newsletters, you may want to congratulate your team members who reach EA ot team leader and remind them of all the benefits they are getting. This will show your

I say lead by example... nobody told me about it... but I wanted to get ahead and I know to make money you need to spend some too. So I picked a common sense useful product I'd gain from not only for points needed but for myself as well... I tell them "for example...I bought the ___ and it got me my SO, the points I needed, and I got a product I am very pleased with."

Honestly that is the best answer I can think of... smart is being able to afford to get ahead and be satisfied

I would try to educate my affiliates on some basic business building facts of life.

Like children, small businesses do not grow very well when neglected or not invested in by their parents.

If your affiliates have a sincere desire to succeed in this business, they have to appreciate that THEIR SFI business in the beginning is like a small child, which requires an investment of their attention, care and yes, perhaps some small amount of money.

Starting with SFI, an
