2016 promises to be the best year yet for my business. I don't plan to make any drastic change but I will definitely be focused on TL & support and growth. If I can encourage my team to take 6 simple steps toward DTL, I will see tremendous growth in sales also. What I intend to do is to do all of the following:

1. Be an awesome sponsor.

2. Be a Top Enroller

3. Become a Top Sponsor - make the top 100.

4. Become a Top Co-sponsor -make the

Honestly, the A2A program is designed to provide an additional support option for affiliates. It is an excellent tool to use to find & share ideas to grow your SFI business. So how do you pick your 10 friends? You select among those that reach out to you. No everyone is interested in collaboration. While this might be strange, others see it as increased competition in the marketplace. So the rules of success apply: work with workers and I'll add those that wish to work with you. Some

Here are 5 things you should avoid when talking about SFI to your prospects.

1. Don't do all of the talking. Listen and watch for clues from your prospects. If they are interested in what you are saying they will show some sign.

2. Share a story or experience you've had with SFI instead of trying to get them to join the business. People love stories. If you tell your friends when you see them, join this business with me and you can make money in your spare time. The

The best gateway to use is the wave gateway because you have an opportunity to win $250 dollars and for PRMs. PRMs are shoppers and they are more likely to play Eager Zebra games. The bottom line is profits and profits are generated when people spend money. Affiliates are more concerned about making money without spending money.

In the end, PRMs can become affiliates any time and usually they are more committed affiliates because they want to gain from their investment. Ultimately,

Just like any organization SFI is diverse. There are many was to earn and many paths to achieve the goal. So the best approach is to simplify the process and of course 'stick with the basics'.

SFI is a network marketing company powered the the TripleClicks sales platform. They have been doing business since 1998 and they are a member of the Better Business Bureau in the state of the corporate entity. The vision of SFI is simple - to provide a medium where anyone can make money online

How to get businesses on alibaba.com to become ECAs and sell their products on TripleClicks?

First of all, if a business is on Alibaba they have good reason to be there. We are not trying to dissuade merchants from using whatever channel they think is best for their business. Do this and you will probably offend most of them or get flagged as a spammer.

Instead, why not shop their stores and understand what their marketing strategy is? Just because someone sells on Ebay doesn't mean that they are a serious seller. So you need to build rapport with the merchant. Partner

Everything about benefits are right there in the compensation plan. The main one being that you can salvage your extra stuff and clean out your closet, attic, basement, or the storage. Most folks have stuff that they can salvage. The average home in the US has about 3 to 4 TVs in it. Why? When kids are home, they have TVs in their rooms and when they leave often these get left behind. The same with child toys, and clothes that are no longer your size.

It's good to give some of

If you can't sponsor PSAs on your own, it is a good idea to invest in the SBuilder or PSAs 2Go or even ECA sellers who sell PSAs. I favor the notion that you shouldn't invest money in PSAs when you know full well that you are not going to support them. Some people are looking for a 'set it and forget it' system to grow your business and of course buying PSAs is definitely not set and forget.

However you can set a standing order for 50 PSAs or so and you will add this number to your

Supporting all of your affiliates never changes regardless of if they have adequate financial means or not. The reason why they joined SFI is so that they can improve their finances. So the best support you can offer is to help them do just that - make money!

While there are a myriad of strategies available to you through the SFI affiliate center, Ask SC, the forum and through A2A, do not stop with just one way of doing things. It's always safer to spread your promotions across multiple

SFI is really very simple and it doesn't need a long lengthy explanation about all the attributes of the program. As a matter of fact the less you say the better of you are when it comes to face to face recruiting.

I recommend that you tell your prospect this: "SFI is a way to supplement your income working from home with a computer and an internet connection. If you would like to join, here's what you need to do:"

1. Give them your referral information.
