This is a great question that deserves a good answer.

What you need to convey is a W.I.N. mentality.

W. is for asking prospects or new affiliates what they want. Find their true challenges, their pain, and true needs.

I. is for invitation to an event. Ask what a client needs. What is their pain, tell them you have a solution. Get a commitment and follow-up. Follow-up a week before an event and the day before. OFFER TO WITH THEM!

N. is for integrity and heart selling rather than hard selling. Be authentic and never promise what you can't deliver.

The reason an affiliate who logs in after a long period of activity could be very different.

No matter what the reason, I would definitely want to contact this affiliate and encourage them to continue with my support. Show you care first.

Assume they are still very interested in SFI. It is more than likely that they are. Talk about all the new positive changes and ways to earn by taking advantage of them. Find out what interests them and what their goals are.

Offer to help them in any way possible. Leave your contact information and leadership page information if you are a Team Leader. If you are not a Team Leader, contact your upline Team Leader to help with specific ideas and encourage your newly interested affiliate to do the same.

Your affiliate can find contact information for all their Upline sponsors from the bottom of their Stream Page.

Maintaining and boosting momentum in your team is extremely important, so this a great question.

First and most important is to focus on your team members, both PSAs and CSAs. Let them know you care by helping them to set and reach their monthly goals. Keep them informed of the opportunities like the new Fast Track and New Member Pack, and the ways to earn VP and MRP to use to earn even more points. For example, there is an MRP store at TripleClicks or you can purchase PSAs with Member Reward Points.

I have been a Team Leader for the whole time I've been in SFI (nearly 2.5 years). This is not only a great example to your team but you earn matching Versa Points. You receive second home CSAs and TCredits. This helps to boost your earnings and thus your ability to help members of your downline to reach their goals.

Personally my CSAs are a huge help, so I encourage and help them as well. Your genealogy, under 'Hot Spots' is a great tool to keep track of individuals and how your team is doing as a whole.

I never forget my PSAs on levels 2-12. Often they need help to keep up the momentum.

Our team helps each other to succeed. Team work is very important. I have assigned some of my top level one PSAs to line two and have received some from my sponsor. It never hurts to ask for reassignments from your sponsor so you can do the same. I have found that keeps the workers not to give up too soon, before success.

Most months I give Gift Certificates to help my regular EA2s to reach EA2 every month. If they don't reach EA every month they will lose all their CSAs. Of course they never lose their PSAs. A $20 gift certificate allows them to purchase up to 10 single TCredits for 102 VP each.

I also encourage DistribuStar gift cards so affiliates can get TripleClicks members and the ability to track distribution of cards (or digital numbers) to earn a total of 300 VP monthly and a chance to win more prizes. DistribuStar itself has contests and you can win TCredits etc. and even more DistribuStar gift cards. If you track one per day, plus do your daily and weekly tasks on your To-Do-List you will also have more entries into the Daily Grand Prize!

Of course, the team needs to know how to advertise their SFI business, purchase PSAs and how to best do this. With team mail I keep them informed on a weekly basis plus am on hand to answer questions within 24 hours.

Hope this helps.

Great question!

The most important message to convey is to show you care. Try to get to know them personally. You can do this by email and/or e cards on a regular basis. If they want to Skype, that's okay, but don't spend too much time. Remember that you are their role model. If they think they have to spend a lot of time in conversation, they may give up. Instead, show them how much fun it can be playing free games and earning at the same time. Be excited yourself and share your own successes!

Experience over the past nearly 3 years in SFI has shown me that I need to keep in close contact with affiliates who contact me asking for help and direction. Once they get started it's important to keep a close watch on their progress so you can offer tips for the best game plan for them. Check their profile and ask them questions. Encourage them with any and all successes.

Some things that you need to know about your affiliates are:

- their ability to financially have a standing order.
- time available to spend on their SFI business and TripleClicks.
- their ability to follow your directions.
- desire to earn income fast and/or long term.
- commitment and perseverance

Tailor your leadership to each individual and send out regular team mail to help them all succeed. Show them things that are available on their SFI site for self-instruction. When they become a Team Leader themselves, they will need to know where to find answers, so start to wean them once they've been in the business a few months and are making progress.

This is a great question. It depends on whether this is your first month after becoming an EA or higher, your first month in the business etc. If you are just starting, do "Start", "SFI Basics", "Launchpad" and especially Daily Actions.

Once started already,this is what you could do for maximum benefit:

1. Go to you To-do-list or your Alerts page and do four things.

- Rate your sponsor, 10 VP and

- Set your goals for the upcoming month (5 VP). Give this some careful thought. Goals should include, not only the acquisition of VP, but learning, earning, advertising, and more.

- Ask for more information and/or share goals with your sponsor(s). They want to help.

- See if you are eligible to get a Payoneer Card – 500 VP Accumulate $20 in commissions if you are not eligible.

2. If you haven't already, set up an SO, standing order. 1500 VP or more automatically makes sure you qualify for EA every month, (or any amount to start the habit).

Single TCredits are great if you are short on funds. Each Single TCredit costs $1.99 (less if an SO), earning you 102 VP each. Don't order a pack if you want maximum VP.

The SBuilder is a good standing order. You can also set up a co-op, earning you 100 VP - by going to Co-op manager (Under Power Tools).
Other good SOs - 125 VP pack or IAHBE is worth 1500 VP.

3. Start the habit of logging onto your SFI Account every day. Do your daily actions and earn a chance to be entered into the E365 contest.

In one month, for just doing daily actions you can earn up to 1130 VP - 500 VP for Pricebender Auction bids, 50 for song downloads, 50 for listing a product or service for sale at TripleClicks, 200 from T-time and Zackpot (see 4) , and 33 VP/day for red tabs. That's 1130 VP! For those of you who are trying to reach Team Leader status these are Action VPs! More if you win prizes.

It’s good to have TCredits so you can do the above actions.

4. Start entering all the contests you can, listed on the Daily Grand Prize page. You can enter the T-time contest once every hour until you win 2 TCredits that day. You earn 1 VP for every entry. Using those TCredits enter the Time Machine Zackpot (or other contest once that's done). That's another VP. You can earn up to 200 VPs just doing those two contests, T-Time and Zackpot.

6. Check out the free advertising and make a plan for the month. Also see your gateways that you can use to advertise different areas of SFI. You’ll find them under “my account”. They have your SFI id # so you will be credited for any sign ups using your gateway. Make sure you give your friends that information.

7. If you haven’t already, join Wave3 and get advertising and prizes every month. It costs under $2.00 and can be purchased at your TripleClicks Store.

To your success!

The best way to start building your SFI Team is by sponsoring affiliates and duplication. Learn all you can on the SFI site and follow your sponsor's instructions. Teach your team the same. Invest a little money if you can, or at least reinvest your earnings into your SFI business.

Affiliates can be PSAs (personally sponsored affiliates), CSAs (Co-Sponsored Affiliates), ECAs (e-Commerce Affiliates), PRMs (TripleClick's affiliates), or Wave3 Affiliates.

PSAs: Sponsor people you know, advertise for free or paid online or in your community (see 'Marketing' and internet under 'Training') Their are several levels of marketing. You could also purchase SBuilder, PSAs to Go etc. from your TripleClicks Store. Or, win them at the Pricebender Auction. With each bid you start earning new PSAs. (See below.) Then set up a co-op under 'Power Tools' to earn 100 VP. You can do it just for yourself to begin with and add other people afterwards.

CSAs: Co-Sponsored affiliates are great as long as you get 1500 VP every month. I make as much from them as I do from my PSAs. The advantage is that they already have a Sponsor. You can help too. Every month you get to EA (1500 VP) you earn 2 CSAs. When you are a Team Leader you win lots from the pool. You can also win some at the Pricebender Auction

ECAs: Sponsoring an eligible ECA will give you 100 active VP when they list their first product. It's a good idea to become an ECA yourself so you understand how it works, even if you don't end up selling much. You will earn commissions and royalties from your ECAs for as long as you are both in SFI.

PRMs (TripleClick's Affiliates): These are affiliates who shop at TripleClicks and play games and bid at the Pricebender Auction. You can earn VP and commissions.

Wave3 - Everyone should join Wave3. It’s only $1.99 to join and you get monthly benefits.

This what you do in general:

1.Become an executive affiliate (EA) & earn 2 extra chances to win the Daily Grand Prize.
2.Earn two CSAs immediately & send out team mail every week for 120-150 VP/month.
3.Qualify as an EA every month automatically and easily work your way up to BTL and beyond.

As an EA you will earn 10 TCredits and 2 CSAs per month. As a team leader you also earn a share of CSAs from the pool, and more TCredits.

The SO of 125 TCredits will cost $35 x 12 = $420.00 over 12 months. In the meantime, however, you can be earning enough income from SFI to invest in other options and to use your TCredits to earn PSAs (personally sponsored affiliates), VPs (versa points), and MRPs (member reward points.)

An example would be to bid on the Pricebender Auction. Even if you don’t win an auction, you can earn 5 or 10 MRPs, 1 - 2 VPs, and add to your option to Spin-and-Win PSAs with just one bid. With your MRPs you can make purchases at your TripleClicks Store and earn even more VPs.

DistribuStar gift cards are great to get people on TripleClicks, earning you commission. You can earn 10 VP every day by tracking one card. If you do this and your daily actions, you will have 2 entries more into the Daily Grand Prize. Add that to 2 from SO, 1 from the Alerts Page, and you have 5 entries! You also are automatically entered into the DistribuStar Contest. I usually win VP or more Gift Cards. This all continues to perpetuate itself into free VP, up to 300 per month from tracking alone.

Play Zebra games for up to 200 VP per month and chances to win. Play at least one that requires a TCredit (or EZ credit) per day for 1 VP and an entry into the Daily Crown Contest. If you win a game(s) you could also earn a lot more.

Some of your money should go to either advertising for affiliates, or purchasing PSAs, once you are ready to support them. You will need to train your affiliates once you get them, so be prepared at some point to set up contests to win TCredits and/or gift certificates (different from DistribuStar.) If new affiliates don’t get help you could lose them very quickly.
The most important thing to do at first is to be an EA or BTL every month and to learn the business.

I have been in SFI for about 3 years now and always re-invest my earnings. This has paid off in spades. Whatever level you are at, keep this in mind.
Wishing success to you!

I'm assuming that we are talking about SFI affiliates. Of course, they may also be E-Commerce affiliates, TripleClicks affiliates (bidding at Pricebenders and buying and selling products), a Wave3 member, and IAHBE monthly subscriber.

Personally I use all forms of advertising and even purchase affiliates and/or bid on them at our penny auction. Their are free posters that you can print off for free, SFI, TC, and Wave3 cards, postcards, and gift cards.

There are two main ways to get affiliates to take SFI seriously:

1- After sponsoring an affiliate, send weekly messages to the whole team, get knowledgeable yourself or pass on information from your Co-Sponsor, Sponsor, Upline Sponsors, a2a friends and the forum.

Observe your workers VP ledger and offer help and advice one-on-one. Answer questions for any of your downline as soon as possible and on an individual basis. Offer contests, give motivation, recognition, and reassignments.

2- Sponsor pre-qualified affiliates. Go out into the community and talk to people for all the programs within SFI, including TripleClicks (Pricebender Auction, buy and sell, E-Commerce Affiliates), Wave3, IAHBE, and so on. Some small local businesses or online businesses may like a monthly subscription to IAHBE, or sell their products on our TC Store that has a huge market all around the world, but also local.

Another way to get pre-qualified affiliates is to purchase a mine website at your TripleClicks Store. You can get one made for you and hosted for you for under $6.00 USD. I bought 3 for the price of one and gifted them to my best affiliates. It was a nice way to say thank you and Merry Christmas.

Advertise for a business partner and list the skills required. You'll find people often even send you their resumes. Don't offer false hopes though. Make it clear that this is not a paid job. Offer it to young people, retirees, stay-at-home moms or dads, anyone who needs extra income on the side on a long-term basis.

To win the Gold Streak Game:

- enter as many times as you can.

- Answer the Survey Questions on your To-Do-List under the Daily Tasks. They are directly related to the Eager Zebra Gold Streak Game.

- Use your 'passes' if you really don't have a clue what the answer is. Wait until near the end because it goes from 2, to 3, to 4 possible answers to choose from.

In the first month of SFI many new affiliates use up most of their “one-time action versa points” (AVP). Of course it’s great to get 500 VP in the first day for the 200 VP bonus. However, to be an EA every month all you need are 1500 VP of any kind.

Sales VP (SVP) are for buying and selling items at the TripleClicks Store. You can earn 1 AVP every day for just looking through the TC Store.

Something you will really need to earn AVP in SFI are TCredits. Why not get a Standing Order of 125 TCredits to get 1500 SVP right away, or 100 TCredits and make up the rest another way?

Note: When you get a standing order of at least 1500 VP you also get 100 AVP and qualify for EA. Once you are an EA you are given CSAs and can send team mail for 30 AVP/mos. and more.

Then you can work towards becoming a team leader by earning more AVP.

1. In the beginning of SFI you have your Getting Started Actions, Launchpad, and Intermediate VP, which are all AVP. These are one time AVP. You’ll never get these more than once, although there may be some actions added by SFI as they have in the past. Save some of these AVP for following months if possible.

2. Daily Actions, Weekly Actions, and Monthly Actions are the most important ways to get AVP and chances to win in the Daily Grand Prize and E365 Contest. Daily VP include song downloads, the Eager Zebra and Pick-the-Price contest entries (1TCredit each). I always enter the free T-Time Contest several times a day to have really good chance to win 2 TCredits, then use those for entering a contest.

3. Sponsor PSAs, ECAs, and Wave3 members. Become a Wave3 member for under $2-

4. Bid on a Pricebender Auction(s) to earn up to 500 VP/mos.

5. Purchase DistribuStar gift cards and track them for up to 300 VP/mos. Great for attracting people to Pricebenders!!

6. Purchase an SBuilder to earn both SVP and AVP. Set it up as a Co-op for 100 AVP.

7. Help your first line PSAs especially for extra AVP. EAs and above give 100 – 300 AVP each.

8. Review TripleClicks direct products you have purchased (25 VP for each physical product).

9. Submit answers to new questions at ‘ASK SC’. Up to 100 VP for each answer.

Watch your score page and try to reach a goal like EA, BTL, STL, GTL, or PTL. Your score page will show you how many more SVP and AVP needed to reach the next level.

While trying to collect all this AVP, don't forget to keep learning and teaching your recruits. Show you care and help everyone on your team as much as possible.

Hope this help

This is a really good question. The answer will be different for everyone. It depends on whether or not you have Team Leaders with their own large downline, how many first line PSAs you have who are Team Leaders or EA2s etc.

Personally I have a huge downline. The most active ones are PSAs level two and down and CSAs. The reason is that I help everyone as personally as possible. ECards are very useful. I copy and paste welcome letters and training to new affiliates, and for other things, just changing it here and there to personalize it. I also check their profiles to help them reach their goals.

Here's a list of some of the things I do:

1. Maintain my leadership page: blog, recognition, personal story and tips, contests and suggestions for great TripleClick products. I include information on advertising and different ways to earn income right from the beginning.

2. Let my downline know when I have updated anything on my leadership page, and give them a reason to check it out.

3. Congratulate them for winning a contest or reaching a level like EA or Team Leader, either by Stream Messages or personal e-Cards.

4. Use my genealogy to keep track of how active downline are doing. I concentrate mainly on my first level PSAs but also check out anyone who has acquired any VP at all. I still send out team mail to everyone once per week. At the end I remind them that they can contact me for their SFI# if they have forgotten or use their email to log in to www.sfimg.com and give my leadership page and contact information.

5. Send eCards for birthdays and anniversaries, and for tips. I always point out the positive first when I give advice.

6. Promptly answer questions in team mail and email or chat.

7. Pass on information from the forum, Alerts page, ASK SC, and training sites at SFI.

8. Let new affiliates know where they can find their upline and encourage them to keep in contact. (info at bottom of Stream Page)

9. Use gift certificates or TCredits for those who are active but struggling to maintain EA2, even if they aren't on my first line.

10. Reassign my first-line affiliates, who are not active, to new active affiliates so they can send out team mail, getting 30 VP per week. This will get them to EA faster. I always remind new affiliates to transfer their VP to the next month if they haven't reached 1500 VP and to collect their CSAs on their Alerts page when they do reach 1500 VP for the first time.

11. Reassign EA2s, or even a BTL on my first line to long-term Team Leaders on my first line to encourage them to keep working. I help these Team Leaders with their newly assigned affiliates, just like I do with all reassignments.

12. I ask my sponsor to reassign some of his to me. I let my downline know. This is great team work and is a good example.

There is a lot more that can be done like having webinars, Skype, You tube, social media sites for your team. So far i haven't done this. I do have a website that I send my affiliates to. It explains how to get started. Ten lessons are listed.

Hope this helps.
