Jack,

The relationship is quite simple really:

We are the builders of a worldwide business as SFI affiliates.
Tripleclicks is our store where we list products for sale, or sell other people's products to receive commissions.

We earn from actions taken at TripleClicks as well. We earn for bidding on PriceBenders Auctions and as SFI affiliates we gain valuable knowledge from certain products at TripleClicks, as well as increase our business by buying things like:

When I am fully self-employed with SFI, and someone asks what I do for a living, what do I tell them?

Estrado,

Good Question, however that is actually a simple answer. You can just tell them that you work online for one of the best companies on the internet.

With an A+ rating, over 2,000,000 affiliates and over 100,000 products to market, it is the truth. If anyone doubts it, all you need to do is show them the facts about S.F.I. and TripleClicks, or hand out an X-card from TripleClicks for any one of the programs- (ECA, SFI, WAV3) and say "See how I do it."

Is it a good idea to reassign your PSAs to someone in their own country?

Hello Marjorie,

If you are having a communication barrier and have the capacity to reassign an affiliate to someone within their own country, I would say go for it.

The communication barrier will most likely not be a problem for them anymore and the new sponsor may know things about the culture and ethics of the country that you do not know.

Having said that, this is going to be a matter of how well you have been dealing with that particular PSA and if they have asked

If you had an extra $100, what would be the best way, specifically, to use it to maximize and help grow your SFI business?

With what I know now, I personally would Buy:

1 S-Builder Co-Op Unit to receive the extra sign-ups on my team. $22 with 280 VP

The 125 Standing Order T-Credits option. This gives you an Extra 100 VP and your total needed 1,500 VP for reaching EA Status.
(Plus the extra Benefits at TripleClicks it provides) $36.25

TripleClicks Gift Cards- Set of 30. This is a great way to advertise locally and get local TC Signups. $29.70 with 100 VP

This is right at

I have experience with in-person presentations, direct mail, trade shows, handing out biz cards, network at events, etc. Can offline marketing be as effective for my SFI business as online marketing?

Ann,

Because of your experience in dealing with public interaction and speaking,
your offline marketing can be Much More effective.

You will be able to organize your own shows and hand out SFI and TripleClicks X-Cards, all the while explaining face-to-face how SFI and TripleClicks works to those that are interested. This personal interaction will have a huge impact on Quality over Quantity of signups and Affiliates that will actually utilize SFI.

A complete stranger sees your WAVE3 banner on your car. They ask what TripleClicks is. What do you say?

Hello Ken,

I haven't been asked about mine yet, but I would say that TripleClicks is an amazing site with incredible prices on over 100,000 products.

Hand them a WAV3 Card and explain that they can get their own items listed as well, anything from Cars and Trucks, Gift items or almost anything they have to sell.

By signing up for the WAV3 Program, they will receive free T-Credits and Member Rewards Points to purchase items within the store, along with the free T-Connect

Hello Abraham.

If you need to communicate with your sponsor or co-sponsor, do not hesitate. One thing they are there for is to help you succeed. As your Team Leaders, I would say that is part of the job description.

If you need help everyday with one question, ask a question everyday. I have an unresponsive sponsor, but my co-sponsor has been there for me several times in one day when I needed help, and has almost always responded in less than 24 hours.

To be the best affiliate is going to be a matter of your own application and determination.
Read and learn everything you can and then learn to become a great leader.

Don't overwhelm yourself- it can be easy to do with so much information at your fingertips. If you find yourself getting overloaded, refer back to the basics and Launchpad training.

Take the time to learn and complete the steps that are laid out for you. It will be easy to succeed if you follow the training

Among the popular Standing Order items (IAHBE, S-Builder, TCredits), which is best and why?

Alma,

All of these are great Standing Order items:

1- The S-Builder Co-Op will bring you a share of SFI's own internet campaign, which can begin to bring in sign-ups for your business in a very short amount of time.

2- The IAHBE has a wealth of information teaching you everything from building websites, where to advertise and great marketing books and resources. We have quite a bit here just in the affiliate center that is along the same lines, but nowhere near as

Good Question, and in my opinion, it is best shown with the experience you have had. Show them your successes and what you have achieved by being an affiliate, or what your goal is.

Some people will not be convinced and you shouldn't spend your time trying to convince someone that is just a "lookey-loo" or just curious. That being said: You never really know when someone could be serious about changing their future.

You can let them know all the different ways there
