Question:
"I have $500 to invest in my SFI business. What are your recommendations on the best way to use this money? "

You are very fortunate to have $500.00 to invest in this SFI business opportunity, however it is being involved with our business on a daily basis what gives us the most valuable return on investment.

Yes, those daily actions are what count the most. Pumping dollars into the business is great, but as every business owner knows, we must participate by being active on a daily bases whether we have customers or not.

This means we will complete our "To-Do List", keep in touch with our Team Members, participate in the ASK SC Answers and Questions, send e-Cards, Keep our Leadership Blog up to date, create contests, awards, send out news letters, while also learning more and more about this SFI/Tripleclick business, products and services.

Many of these activity have VPoints attached which will accumulate over time. No matter how much money we invest on purchases, if we are not making sales, enrolling New Member Affiliates, and ECA Members, our progress will reflect our ranking.

Now, should we only focus on our ranking status because of these facts? The answer is yes, and no. Yes, we can see from our ranking status we have more to accomplish, or more action to take, and no, we must focus on selling more products and services, remain active with our customers, and advertise the complete business opportunity along with building our teams.

These are the areas of focus we should concentrate on mostly, our investments should reflect these areas.

Establish a Standing Order, Wishlist, knowing your $500.00 is utilized best by selecting those resources and products from our TripleClicks store.

Include professional advertising in your budget with the balance. Do not think because you have excessive amounts of cash invested other obligations will not need attention.

Our "Daily Actions" learning how to do the business, keeping our Team Members informed, along with recognition, making sales, and earning commission to invest back into the business should be among our top priorities, not how much we have to invest, but how wisely we invest our time and money.

Let's not forget those valuable Zebra Games and Pricebender Auctions!

Thank you for allowing me to share.

Question:
"How can I get my TripleClicks Gateways to generate sales?"

Advertise, Advertise, Advertise!

You need more site visitor traffic to "Gateway Links!"

Since you are right where you need to be, on the TripleClicks Member Center, you have to recognize the search window provided there.

Enter in your search window; "visitor traffic" "website traffic" "unlimited traffic", this will get you started in the right direction.

Check the ratings, but this may not be the only criteria since some websites are more attractive to some than others. The JMT (Join my Team) URL would be one for starters, but it will not be difficult to explore which website delivers the best results.

This is just a hint for which you will discover you are well on your way to relaxing while you tend to other important tasks. You will also discover many more tactics on your own once you get plugged in to effective search habits at TripleClicks.

Great question!

I would say the most loved about SFI is, the various built in methods that actually teach this business opportunity, and pay us while we learn!

Most of these earnings have been invested back into the business, but along the way there was no idea I had earned any income until my sponsor showed me where to look.

I was surprised to see $22.00 commission earned in less than 4 months, and I had over 800 MRP accumulated which I used to help gain my status as EA by investing these in more TCredits after my sponsor taught me how to invest these back into the business.

There are so many options available to help us succeed well over what is mentioned here, but just sharing what is most loved about this business is enough.

Question:

"What are good ways to use Stream to build your SFI business...and how often do you post on Stream?"

I have found "Stream" to be very resourceful for communicating with both upstream, and downstream Team Affiliates.

The best way to utilize stream is to remain upbeat, positive, and reassuring as possible. There are then times necessary where we will need to provide alerts to important notes, activities and contests.

I have decided to move away from providing too much information in situations where there is strong competition due to running the chance of causing one to loose faith in their abilities and becoming discouraged. It is best to only post results and outcomes in many instances.

We must always consider how our posts will affect the reader.

This means refrain from making derogatory defaming statements about the SFI/Tripleclicks products and services, Affiliates, and other instances such as Zebra Game results in a derogatory manner.

I post mainly to broadcast a contest, or after finding the "Quote of the Day" to reflect on what "Team Building" is all about, and to offer encouragement, 2 - 3 times per week.

Congratulations!

Use caution in heavy highly competitive situations. Beware, not to stimulate discouragement.

Thank you for allowing me to share.

Question:
"What will you do differently in 2016 to grow your SFI business?"

I have decided to review, and adjust my investment strategy.

I will then increase my investments toward team building.

Offering more support and mentoring each Affiliate more carefully. Keeping notes, monitoring the performance activity on their Ledgers, and Snapshots as they respond only.

This will mean they will need to keep in regular contact.

Boosting my investment in advertising by establishing an advertising budget.

Concentrate on healthier living, as this will need to be in place to remain alert and energized.

Get more rest, and relax more often than in 2015.

Question:
"What's the best way to learn how to become a successful online entrepreneur?"


The best way to learn, is to follow the training guidelines which are delivered to each of us automatically.

There is not much to add after this.


Only other fact that hinders anyone from becoming successful with any business is discipline. Being able to spend the required amount of time with SFI is very important. Most will not be able to pass this test, while others will admit it to be difficult to work alone 4 - 8 hours a day, or more without some sort of monitoring support or supervision.

We must be open with our ads and make this very clear; "be able to work alone 4 - 8 hours a day"

This also has been covered for us. When in doubt, ask the Sponsor, or some other person in the upper link. It is also good to contact SFI support.


Keeping up with the email from all support mechanisms will also be very helpful toward successful venture with SFI.

Great question!

"What if"

Have you ever been approached this way? This is the person who has practiced the script to the tee!

I know many of us reading this post already know exactly what I'm about to share.

"What if I told you I found a company online that can not only help you improve your income status, but can also teach you how to earn unlimited cash....
...and what if I told you, you do not have to spend all of your free time doing this unless you want to...
....what if I said to you this is exactly what I'm doing and making tons of cash all online."

Remember the "what if!" tactic everyone was using?

Do not follow someone else. Be natural. If we follow what is considered to be the popular way of presenting our business to our audiences we become too familiar and publicly a turn off.

This not only can destroy our reputation, but also can cause damage the company we represent and it's Affiliates.

Can you imagine after so many from the same company following the same script everyone else is using?

We must be very careful with duplication, even though duplication is effective in growing the business.

Our script must be rare! It must be able to know the moment, and adapt to the opportunity to share.

If we do not consider this fact, we have the chance of creating the duplication called "SPAM", and this is the response we will get when presenting the business opportunity to others.

It is very comforting both to the presenter and the receptor, when we become acquainted with adapting to cultures, norms, and environments surrounding our event.

Yes, this is an event!

We must present the business naturally to the environment we are in, or keep to ourselves until timely, it is fitting to make the presentation.

Most important is to adapt, be natural, and rare!

"Dare To Be Rare!"

"How can I set up an online seminar to train my affiliates...and what are some tips for successful online seminars?"

First of all we must consider an online seminar the same as any other event. This being considered planning is necessary.

How many are expected to attend?

What is the draw, or hook?

How are we going to generate enough interested Affiliates to attend?

From my own experiences both online and offline people are very difficult to motivate in regard to participation. Most are already very busy if they have any ambition. We must plan weeks and months in advance, and take a few surveys to determine the level of knowledge, interest, and participation.

Just these few areas will consume much time and consideration.

Once we have gathered enough information the planning stage is necessary, and this too will consume much time.

After we have reached a level of determination, we can organize and schedule the event. Here we also will have to consider time as now it is necessary to not only attract our prospective attendees, we carry them along by holding, or captivating this audience's attention over another duration of time.

Noting how time consuming organizing and promoting our event can be, we make a determination. Asking ourselves questions such as, how important is going through all of this planning and organizational activity. This is the real question which should really be held in our initial stage when we first arrive with the idea to pull of a function of this structure.

As we all know from being internet marketing Affiliates, it is very difficult to engage our affiliates in any activity. We all know this from our experiences. We enroll hundreds of Affiliates, while the delivery rate remain very low in reference to response.

We continue to send out group mailings inviting our Affiliates to participate in our contests, send out foll-up reminding them of these activities, and get very few responses if any.

In comparison both enrollment, participation after enrolled, can fairly be classified in regard to response, the same as seminars.

This is just an attempt to place anyone considering this type of activity to be prepared to see many either drop the ball on them, or not respond completely.

So with respect to this question, we all will experience the same effects online as we would offline.

Providing these answers to your question is not intended to discourage, it is my intention to help you arrive at attainable goals.

What are you planning to achieve or gain from the online seminar?

How will this activity benefit the team as a whole?

Now my final question. Is all of this effort really worth you generating your own energy?

Thank you for allowing me to share!

The best way to communicate with our teams is to first use all of the available resources found at the Affiliate Center such as eCards, CSA PSA and Genealogy Mailers.

First we want to understand the areas our team members are needing help with.

Before sending out these communication messages or mailings, it is suggested that we review the individual Ledgers and find out which areas are most common in either case of training, or recognition.

It is very important to know where our individual team members stand before sending out group mailings if we wish to address the entire team. In these cases where the individual needs more training it is best to use the eCards, and use the group mailers when all members hold the same interests in common for training or recognition.

The best way to communicate with our teams is to remain relevant to the needs the group, and also as in case of addressing the individual the group should not be addressed when an individual is having issues or problems.

The only time we should be sharing individual information to the group, is when the information is relevant for training and recognition purposes.

Question:

"Many of my affiliates have blocked my emails. How can I be an awesome sponsor if I cannot contact them?"


That is something we all will experience from time to time. Many times it is an indication too many messages have been sent. Other times, loss of interest in the business will cause one to block email messages.

My own experiences taught me to keep going with those who are not only still reading our email, but to continue sending messages via group mailers, and e Cards.

Keeping a regular flow of one or two messages per week is enough. Do not over send messages to our down lines. They will soon be recognized as spam.


There are plenty interested members on our teams, and more to come. Keep building your team even if a few do not welcome your messages. Do not let this discourage you. I have one who blocked my email, only because it was reminding that person of the things that could not be accomplished or afforded.

There are times in our lives when we just do not have the ability to perform as we wish or desire. In this case we might just block messages to indicate this to our sponsor. We do not have the courage to let our sponsor know we have failed the expectations before us.

These are just a few reasons. Inactivity should not hinder our goals.

We just keep on doing what we know is working, and forget about those who do not desire to hear from us any longer.
