It is a scientific truth that when enough quantity is accumulated, this inevitably leads to change in quality. Hopefully a change for the better.

To apply this universal truth to SFI recruiting PSAs, you have to accumulate a considerable amount of newly signed affiliates to achieve a small number (experienced leaders confirm it’s about 1% that become active) of really good quality PSAs. Then it is your responsibility to assist them and lead the way to success for them. Remember, their success is your success!

The key is communication.”Communicate to duplicate”. Once you start communicating with those who answer, you can apply all the good advice you can find in SFI training materials. Never give up and “work with the workers” as Gery says.

In all human beings we are dealing with mindset. All sign-ups will have a particular mindset when they join - positive or negative. Mindset is easily determined by viewing the initial performance of every sign-up. The positive person will start immediately, is willing to try things on his/her own, and it will not be necessary for the sponsor to put in a huge motivating effort. The negative person will sit back and wait for something to happen and needs constant motivation to do even the most basic of actions.

We can shift from quantity to quality by changing the mindset from negative to positive. SFI has the most comprehensive training and support system that I have seen in businesses of this kind and I consider it to be one of the market leaders. All the aids available can be used to change mindset, but not before the following is understood by the sceptics : This is a business.

A business is acquired to make money and needs two main inputs from the owner for success - time and resources (money) A business will not grow and prosper if both of these elements are not present. Business analysts say that a good, solid business will return your capital investment in 5 years, provided it is properly managed.

If the available resources within SFI are used consistently and correctly, this 5 year period can be shortened considerably.

Now for the question how to shift from quantity to quality

1. Ensure that all sign-ups understand fully what a business is and require, before moving on to practical matters.

2. Leaders should lead by example and not underestimate their developmental role. Not all sign-ups will be familiar with an internet business.

3. Work out a training program for all new affiliates in which they are taken through the process step by step.

4. Continually motivate and reward.

5. Build a personal relationship with your team.

5. Lastly, leaders must ensure that the quality is maintained by being quality leaders at all times.

This question I will answer believing that you want to sign more quality people and not just shooting for high numbers with no activity.

First off the manner in which they sign up. Did you advertise get rich quick or
how to build your own business the proper way?

After answering that question look at where you advertise this great opportunity.

Was it in free traffic exchanges with many bogus claims of making tons of money?

or

Was it sent to other people who understand what MLM is all about and know that you
need to work at it before you see any kind of returns?

Remember, the quality of signups is directly proportional to the quality of your
advertisement.

I am grateful and appreciate this opportunity to offer my support and opinion to
you.

Have a great and wonderful year.

If I ask family they respond with I can't sit at a computer like you and similar negativity. So, instead of asking people who might normally be considered as helpful to anything I do, I then went to blog and post comments and articles myself.

Advertising myself so people know who I am and talking about my own experiences in SFI has helped people who join with me because they can see my own progress and know me well enough to ask me for help and guidance.

I suspect this is a better method of recruiting that hoping someone will optin on a webpage with a palm tree beach that permits me to email them with more information although many opportunities are presented using such optin pages I know that SFI sign up pages are the best I have seen for accuracy and information.

What happens then when I buy signups or advertising and inform people before they get to sign up? I find that either method I use produces similar results in that some affiliates have external pressures in their lives that means it is not yet time to work with me. I continue to use team mail system for my newsletters which are at least once a week but never more than 3 per week.

Everyone is the all including phrase I use so no-one feels excluded if they do not yet work on their SFI/TripleClicks business for I will be there for them and my newsletter to them is at least a gentle inclusive way of reminding them that I am still there for them.

I suspect by QUALITY mentioned in your question you are referring to the affiliates ability to reward you with them using a Standing Order for monthly 1500VP so that in turn commissions are earned and as EA2 matched VP may also be earned but there are also quality affiliates who do not do this. They may instead concentrate on their ECA store after learning they can use the system available at TripleCLicks to retail products or services to a worldwide market. These affiliate enable the sponsor to earn well from their sales so are also QUALITY sign ups.

Don't forget that SFI provides many income streams and each is highly effective when we ourselves understand how best they work. Learn from SFI's wonderful range of information pages and training courses. Seek out answers on the Forum as well as using ASK SC and tehn pass on your learning in a way that will not only inform you sign ups but encourage them with your own enthusiasm and I am sure you will find that people respond to the quality team leader that you are.

To our success!

Hi Emma
I wish you were more specific in this question. This question seems a double edged sword. One would be moved to ponder whether you mean 'how does one qualify or move our quantity Inactive sign-ups into becoming Quality or how and what methods can we employ to get Quality sign-ups?' I will address both just in case.

In answering the former I think it's your role as a leader and sponsor to apply all of the leadership tips of being an awesome sponsor to try and help your team upgrade.

1. When you see people who are working SFI in your group, work with them! You can easily locate these people by checking your "My Movers" list on your SFI homepage daily. Support them closely, and train them to do the things you do so that you are creating duplication and maximum leverage such as;
Advertising like Crazy
Creating Duplication
Frequent communication
Keeping a positive mental Attitude
Running coops
Referring TC members
Offering Incentives and success tips
Leading by example
Keeping your team motivated always
Plus ALL of the "being an awesome sponsor" tips outlined in SFI.
Ever heard the saying you reap what you sow? Be the best you can be first then your team can emulate you. Eagles fly with the eagles always. Be the Quality and they will be Quality too.

2. Identify your workers and work with them. It's an Important time saver. Gery said that the way you create those 5 "top-gun" affiliates that you need is by treating them LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON THEM! Keep going through the deck and the 4 Aces will show up if you don't quit.

In the latter if what you meant is how do we effectively advertise to get QUALITY sign ups then these few tips should help

1. Always do a product Market march
Target your ads were the fish are biting baits and in plenty. A good example would be in comparing a safe list ad site to say an E-zine publisher who runs e-zines on home business opportunities his list. Of course the E-zine stands a far better chance of giving you better QUALITY signups because the subscriber list is highly targeted.

2. Do your own Market research
I could never emphasis enough how important this is. It's like having a ready and handy business plan that tells you everything you need to do in your business step by step.

3. Chose a GOOD marketing method that works for you, MASTER it and follow it religiously
Whether you decide it's gonna be PPC, CPM, CPA, or E-zines. Chose one and Focus on that one till you become master over it. There are thousands of traffic sources out there. Once you get one good one you trust stick with it.

4. QUALITY equals money
Without a doubt I will tell you from my experience that the best type of traffic is the one from which you spend Ad dollars. Once you have the right source, it is fast, scalable and consistent and has better results because it is laser targeted to your offer.

5. Lastly it's only logical that you track every single campaign you put out there. When using especially PPC, CPM or CPA networks it's highly recommended that you track your results. In fact it's a MUST that you do so. If you don't you are throwing money away. You are casting precious seed on rock surface.

I have tried to address the question from two angles for the reader who may find a problem interpreting it. It's my hope you find it useful and helpful

Best Regards

This is a very tough question. In my own opinion, we can shift from quantity to quality with our sign-ups by doing the traditional Multi-Level Marketing way of sponsoring affiliates. We will do the one on one presentation ( discuss the co., who's behind the co., compensation and benefits, ways to sponsor, answering objections, observing prospects' reaction and closing the sales) and after the presentation, you'll do the meeting after meeting ( discussing to be humble by having a good learning attitude, prepare discouragement by telling them in advance that not all prospects will join and so many negative comments against the business and the company)

However, after sign up still there's no assurance that they will stay forever until they succeed. Even how committed a person upon your sales presentation and for the first week or month, still there are affiliates who will quit because it is the characteristic of a losers/quitters.

I would suggest that go wide fast, sponsor as many affiliates as you can and after, you filter them. Guide/support those whom do you think the dreamers. These are the affiliates whose commitment is "WHATEVER IT TAKES" they will do the business until all their down the line affiliates will succeed. Select 5 or 6 affiliates to be your front liner and assign your other affiliates under them. Hope this helps

In any business , as in SFI, we have no yardsticks to QUANTIFY. We don't know the quality of of a person and need some time to decide. In MLMs, where recruitment is purely personal - i.e., we talk to the person before recruiting,- You can see the person,gauge his reactions, try to know whether he has appetite for that business etc.(Even after all the above people fail to come upto our expectations and do business) But in our business - SFI- it is very difficult because it is online- mostly. So you don't know ,unless you are doing it traditionally- by talking to the person and recruiting him.

As we can see everyday "thousands" join but "hundreds" remain. We have to live with that and work.But here we have a choice. We can concentrate on people who are really interested in this business(QUALITY)and Continue to work with these WORKERS only .Yes we will continue to send our mails to rest of the people,with the hope that we can get them to work some time in future.

Hello Emmanuel,

Thank you for your question.
I totally agree with you that there are many people who sign up but only a few are really committed. When one gets a long list of new PSAs or CSAs, I think it is difficult to separate quantity from quality on the first day until you have seen how they perform in the first week. On the 6th of January 2014, when I was answering your question, the growth page at SFI showed that the total number of members was 2,044,968. Mind boggling indeed as 2 million is roughly the population of Botswana.
Looking at the overall Versa points Leader board, one can see that of the top 50 leaders listed, 18 are from the USA and 7 are from Canada. Here is the rest of the table for the top 50.

Country Leaders in the Top 50(Based on overall Versa points)
USA 18
Canada 7
Australia, Nigeria, UK 3 each
Denmark, France, India 2 each
Cote D’Ivoire, Iceland, Norway, Cyprus, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Serbia and the Philippines. 1 each

With such statistics, it is tempting to jump into conclusions but I think that many people who sign up and then give up maybe doing so either due to financial constraints, language barrier or because it is not what they were expecting. What the Table also shows is that anyone from anywhere in the world has the potential to be the best and this is very inspiring to the rest of us.
All one can do is just keep on advertising widely and work with those who are willing. Many are called but few are chosen!

Good question. Yet this way of thinking can be along the lines of the "get rich quick" thinking - trying to get a large team of active affiliates quickly without spending the time and money to work it.

The statistics tell us that 1 in 200 signups will work the system properly. So you need to sign up 1000 affiliates to get your team of 5 Aces - and that takes a lot of time and money. Which it is supposed to, you are running a real business and you reap what you sow.

There is a danger here in thinking if you have inactive affiliates then "SFI is not working". Well if you are working the system then you are on your way to finding your actives who will also work it.

Obviously we should look for ways to improve, better ad sites, use S Builder, refine our ad campaign. However that also takes time.

The stats still tell us it is 1 in 200, that you need those 1000 signups to get that great team - and you will need to let them know this so they can do this, duplicate, persevere and don't quit.

After your 997th inactive affiliate that you can't motivate to work you may well give up. And you won't know if your 998th signup is the one who will make BTL in their first month. You may be less than one foot from the gold.

You have to go through a large QUANTITY before you find the QUALITY. The proverbial diamond in the rough.

This is a good question and I will attempt to give my input.

It is difficult to separate the two quantity and quality in SFI because depending on the goals you have set you need both. While it is true you may have 100s who may have signed up and do nothing, imagine if they all were to do something the impact that could have on your business.

To answer you question in a more direct way, to move from quantity to quality would need to start with you, you ought to be enthusiastic about SFI, develop a passion for it that makes it difficult for you to be separated from it, you must be educated in SFI, we know knowledge is power and without knowledge of what you are doing you will not be able to help your affiliates who at the beginning can be very reliant on you and lastly, you must be an enduring individual, one who is patient but optimistic. In that way you would have the right approach to the business and be able to target the right people to be part of your team presenting to them, the business that is reputable (Maybe you can say if it wasn't you would not be associated with it) the benefits are tremendous.
