Hi Abdul,
I find your question very interesting because to be honest, I've never thought about what I should do to gain maximum support from my upline. So, its a challenging thought !

So, now thinking about it - I would suggest:
(presuming that my Upline is watching me on their systems...)...

Let my Upline see that I am a serious minded Affiliate, by

1.1. logging in daily, and following as many of the actions as I have time for.
1.2. investing in

What do you say to an affiliate who thinks that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time?

Hi Odvidio,
I'm a bit surprised that Affiliates think that doing the daily 1 VP actions is a waste of time - because when they join SFI, all the Launch Pad lessons, and then Gery Carsons 'Rules of Success', will clearly explain how important it is to daily do the 'leg-work', i.e. the 1 VP actions.

I know its not every day we have new information on some of the TABS, but quite frankly it takes a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes to check out each TAB, unless you see something that catches

Who is the better demographic to target in my ads? Retired persons...or homemakers?

Interesting question you pose.
For me, its more a case of finding those people who are 'hungry' to earn another income stream, or those who seeking a new way to 'start their own company' without the usual high overheads!
But I certainly agree that there must be thousands of 'retired persons' and 'homemakers' that fall into this category... Good luck with your SFI business endeavours.

How do you motivate lazy and unmotivated affiliates?

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the question, which is one that most of us have to face as we start off this 'Road to Success' with our SFI business...

Personallly, after about 9 months, I have only now started to use my T-Cs, from my monthly Standing Order (i.e. 125 TCs for $36), which is essential to gain the 1,500 VPs to retain my EA status - to BUY the ProProfit 15 x PSA's for 100 T-Credits.

Previously, I have been daily entering the Price Benders Auctions, using up my

Hi,
I find your question unusual - insofaras my understanding of the Sponsor's role...

Firstly, your Sponsor should or would have sent you a welcome card or email when you started, and followed up with 'tips' or encouraging emails thereafter.

Secondly, I don't think its upto us as Affiliates, to try to get our Sponsor's to notice us - because simply it is their 'role' to keep an eye on us, because only 'together' can we work to success..

Thirdly, the most dramatic

Dear Patlam,
That's an interesting question you pose -
and I have to admit, my understanding has been since joining SFI - that our PSA's and CSA's will show if they are serious about SFI by
(1) Logging in to SFI on a daily basis.
(2) Reading the Launchpad lessons - and answering the questions to gain Versa Points.

However, it seems 99% of the new Affiliates do not even bother to LOG IN on a daily basis, and very few of those that do, ever read the LAUNCH PAD lessons.

What should I do with PSAs who do not want to recruit affiliates or otherwise engage in duplication?

HI Bob,
I think we all work at our own pace, and some of us are not that confident in starting out - so, hesitate to want to have PSAs to begin with. Not a bad idea perhaps when we consider just how much there is to learn about SFI at first.

For others, it takes a while for the 'penny to drop', that one of the major income earning streams of SFI is from duplication. In fact, duplication is probably the 'key' to great things.

So, I would recommend you let your 'affiliates'

Is it worthwhile to send individual welcome letters to new PSAs...or can I just send out group mailings?

Hi Jovan,

Thanks for this interesting question.

Whilst I do not 'gain' (win or buy) more than 15 or even 30 new PSA's at a time, I have to admit that for me it has been important that I compose/write individual welcome letters to each! No. I have avoided using the 'SFI template' or SFI formatted letter. (But its content has guided me in preparing my own letter).

I think that the individual letter is so much more 'personal', and 'intimate', than a 'group mailing'

What are the things about SFI that most convince people to join?

HI.
Good question.
I think that the major 'thing' about SFI that convinces people to join - has to be because it is completely FREE to sign up,
and then, people also find out that it is FREE to access the amazing array of information and training in the website!

Finally, the 'total transparency' of the business model - makes people joining, more confident to seek the information they desire - and that is to be sure:-

(a) SFI is NOT a scam,
(b) SFI is NOT
