The best way to utilize the designated diamonds program to build your team is to not make any distinction between new PSAs and veteran PSAs. The purpose of the designated diamonds program is to provide the recipient with extra incentive to focus on the plan. Being new or old has nothing to do with commitment when it is inherent in your PSA.
That said, any strategy to reach the goal of the program will include the following:
1. Refer more TripleClicks members on a consistent basis by promoting products and your TripleClicks gateways. Every customer has lifetime value and we earn 45% of the CV produced for the life of the customer according to the present comp plan.
2. Sponsor more PSAs by promoting your SFI gateways and using co-ops. Pricebender auctions will be incorporated in a good sponsoring strategy. Also PSAs can be purchased from ECAs. There's also the S Builder, PSAs to Go, and your own advertising co-ops. Once a PSA is sponsored they should be coached through to BTL. Keep communications simple and the steps 1 at a time.
3. Emphasis the importance of duplication. Every PSA needs to know exactly what to do achieve steps 1 and 2. Then they can share it with their down line therefore perpetuating the cycle which is duplication.

Can brainstorming help me build my SFI team? If so, how can I employ brainstorming for its benefits?

Certainly brainstorming can help you come up with ideas build your team. To get the benefit of brainstorming you just have to implement the best ideas that you come up with. Never forget the SFI Basics - Refer, Sponsor, and Duplicate. So your brainstorming sessions should be centered around these three pillars.
Usually, it's good to brainstorm when your mind is the freshest and you have the least distractions. Find this time and take 3 pieces paper and write one of the 3 pillars at the top. Your first sheet will have "Refer" at the top. Then just write down ideas that come to your mind about the meaning of that word as it relates to your business. Write as many ideas as you can and take as long as you like. As long as the ideas are flowing, keep writing. Then do the same for the other 2 pillars.
Consequentially, you may wind up with more than 3 sheets and a whole lot of ideas. Now you have to categorize your ideas into those most likely to succeed and those that fit into your current budget. Those that are highly probable and executable test. Make notes and adjust accordingly. I say a good brainstorming session is in order at least once a month until you are dead track for exceeding your goals and expectations.
Finally, the goal of brainstorming is not to reinvent the wheel. If something you are doing is working then you only need to step it up a notch to improve your results. However, if what you are doing is not working, then you need a new approach and brainstorming center on the SFI Basics can help you to redirect your focus and improve the overall performance of your business.

Promoting the W3 is very easy. Use all of the points of referral. Here's how it is done:
1. Playing games - when the game ends you are provided with a Friend Challenge link. You can share this link on social networks, your blog, website, or email it to a friend.
2. Use one of our special "Share & Win" links found on all product and auction detail pages (look for the W3 symbol)
3. Use the unique affiliate link for each commissionable product by clicking on the product to open the product info dialogue box. The SFI Affiliates tab is the last tab and you will find the information there to promote the ECA or the product. You can also get custom flyers and QRC codes that can be shared with friends.
The key to a successful promotion strategy is to understand where you can find points of referral. Here's a complete listing of them:
a) All Product Details pages
b) All ECA TConnect pages
c) All TC Artist TConnect pages (coming soon)
d) All Auction Details pages
e) The Pricebenders Auction schedule
f) Eager Zebra “game over” recap pages
g) The TC Music Player
The more you promote the more you can benefit and with each referral you earn a 120 day membership renewal. So let's make waves with the revamped W3!

With Valentines' Day being so close I'd say plan for Mother's Day or Easter! But if you insist to do a Valentines promotion then I'd say that you should market any of the following gifts on the social networks:
1. Jewelry - Every Kiss begins with "K" - Kay Jewelers.
2. Flowers - Nowadays they can be shipped online and arrive fresh. What a pleasant surprise!
3. Love Stones - Each stone consists of a reason that I love you!
4. His/Her gifts - matching key chains, charms, pendants, watches, etc.
5. Romantic novelty gifts - Valentines' Day candles, fragrances, what-nots, etc.
6. Valentines gift sets - Bath & Body Personal Care Set
7. High End gifts - Rolex, Diamond ring, etc.
You know the possibilities are endless. Happy Valentines' Day!

How do you build a team where everyone knows they are valued members and part of something special?

How do you build a team where everyone knows they are valued members and part of something special? You have to sponsor new affiliates regularly, build rapport early, and set the expectation within the first 24 hours of an affiliate signing up. There can never be enough said for growing your downline. This is one of my 3 pillars in SFI. Without growth, your network will be dying a painfully slow and certain death! Attrition is typically high in this industry because people don't know how to market effectively and there is always a learning curb. Everyone is not meant to be in business for themselves because they don't have the discipline, nor the knowledge to deal with all of the details of running an online business from home.
Therefore it is necessary to play the numbers game. Professional internet marketers know this and therefore are sorting through all of the prospects that they sponsor in anticipation of the ideal prospect - someone with the drive and willingness to learn and do something new. Once you find that you have a golden nugget! Work with them hand and hand and help them their goals.
Another one of my pillars in SFI is team support and leadership and this is where building rapport is critical. TripleClicks exists online. There is no place in the real world where you can shop TripleClicks. So you have to establish trust and goodwill early on with all of your affiliates if you want an active team. The way I established trust and goodwill is by doing all of the following besides being an awesome sponsor -
1. Try to be visible on the Forum providing info and help.
2. Maximize on my badges. Badges are like awards that validate your efforts.
3. Lead by example.
4. Be accessible in 24 hours or less.
Finally to build value in your members you must show goodwill. I reward my EAs with reassignments, free advertising, gift certificates and praise. Everyone loves special treatment. When your affiliates achieve something worthwhile let them know that you are paying attention to them! Congratulate them. Send them an ecard. If you do all of these things all of your workers will know that they are appreciated and valued members of your team.

What are the best products to buy at TripleClicks if my objective is to build my SFI business?

If you objective is to build your business your focus should be on selling and not buying. True you will need to invest in certain business tools like an autoresponder, business cards, flyers, gift certificates, gift cards, SFI T-Shirts, and other marketing tools. All of these are tools to build a successful business. Now you need to have a plan to use these tools effectively in your sponsoring efforts. The key to having a big business is to have a large active network. We are paid 45% of the CV for all the sales generated by our PSAs. Network sales factor into milestone achievement down through 13 generations.
In addition to network sales, you build your business by recruiting ECAs. Every active ECA nets you 100VP plus you earn 10% of the CV they generate in sales. ECAs don't have to be affiliates but they can become affiliates and then they become more valuable to your network. Not to forget TripleClicks members who are tied to your account for life and CSAs that net you 15% of the CV they generate plus the money from the Executive Pool.
So if you were going to invest your money, why not invest in PSAs, & CSAs seeing that they add real value to your net worth when they are active. Why not buy 6 units of the S-Builder for 6 mos and evaluate your results? Sure TCredits are the currency of TripleClicks but buying all of the TCredits in the world is not going to build your business unless you are winning every auction for less than you spend on merchandise that you can sell. From the looks of it, that's a possibility but in highly competitive auctions you will not come out a true winner if your cash flow is in the red! Stay in the black and your good.

How do I welcome a new Designated Diamond and what should I say?

Affiliate since: 07/02/2024, Power Rank: 99999999
Welcoming a designated diamond is a big deal. Obviously they have already shown that they are a leader, hard-working, and focused on goals. They already know that you are supportive, and an awesome sponsor. The only left to do is to make good of the commitment. Personally, I find the stipulations very generous when it comes to the time frame involved.
Therefore, my first conversation with my designation diamond would start with some fact finding questions like the following:
1. When do you see yourself a STL? What does your plan consist of to achieve this goal?
2. When do you see yourself a GTL? What does your plan consist of to achieve this goal?
3. When do you see yourself a PTL? What does your plan consist of to achieve this goal?
4. When do you see yourself a DTL? What does your plan consist of to achieve this goal?
When I get this information, then I will make some recommendations and we will work together to achieve the goal.
Likewise, we will discuss the budgetary needs and work on a plausible solution to put more money into the plan for growing the business. Obviously, one can rely heavily on sweat equity and build slowly over the 5 year period or one can accelerate the time frame by investing capital wisely and using resources efficiently.
Finally we will briefly discuss the consequences of not meet the basic requirements and the basic commitments. My goal would be to ensure that my designated diamond has a plan in place with options so they are practically guaranteed to keep their status and bonuses. Of course the end game is to become a DTL and sponsor DTLs.

What are some good ways to promote the new PrivacyMaxx product?

Identity theft is the no.1 cybercrime in this century and is on the rise. With the advance of the internet, more & more people are exposed to cyber crime. So any angle used to promote this product must address this.
This said, we can address the issue on social media because they are at high risk. The facts must be presented clearly not to create fear but to educate and inform. The benefits of PrivacyMaxx must be laid out and prospects should resonate with the message. The message should be personal and proactive as the smart alternative. When presented in this light, everyone should realize the need.
Finally, there are other identity theft products on the market. Our marketing must differentiate between PrivacyMaxx and the competition. The main difference is exclusivity. PrivacyMaxx is only available from TripleClicks. If you are a TripleClicks member, this means that you can now benefit from the extra security this product provides to our members. It provides validation that our members personal information is safe and secure. Should there be a breach, members are covered for any incident up to $25,000 with no deductible. TripleClicks cares about our members.

What are some of the best TripleClicks products for Transfer Buying--products you consume monthly and can purchase every month and/or have on a Standing Order?
Williams Ford, Aff (Georgia, US)
1/14/2016 4:43 pm
Affiliate since: 07/02/2024, Power Rank: 99999999
The best TripleClicks products to consume for a standing order are products that provide exceptional value in versa points, MRPs, and functionality. I definitely don't recommend buying products for the sake of buying products. Furthermore, everyone has a limit. It's easy to fall prey to consumerism. So don't forget, we are looking for profits from our efforts.
Therefore, the products we transfer buy should have high practical value for our business. TCredits, PSAs to Go, S Builder Units, business publications, ECA flyers, ECA brochures, ECA post cards. company wearables, and TripleClicks envelopes all are excellent choices that will serve every serious SFI business owner well. Not to mention, PSAs and other resources purchased from ECAs. If you are looking for a transfer buy with exceptional VP and MRP value then you should shoot for a 420 pk of TCredits. TCredits are going to provide you the most value for your money when it comes to making milestones and growing your business.
Nonetheless, you can decide for yourself. If you are big on nutriceuticals, then there are some nice ones available right from your TripleClicks superstore. When you buy them locally they are not providing you a return on your investment except for your health. But buying anything from TripleClicks is like an investment that pays you a return. There is something for everyone and every budget at TripleClicks so your standing order can be customized for your lifestyle and business. This is the best of both worlds. Better your life. Build your business.
In conclusion just remind yourself that you are both the customer and the merchant. Balance the two so that you can have profits. Never just focus on the products because no one likes to feel that you are only interested in their money. We are all here to make money so when recommend products never forget to place the emphasis on the value they bring to the end user.

How can I earn the most money in SFI...by recruiting and building a team of affiliates...or by selling TripleClicks products?

The best way to answer your question is to tell you my experience. As a former ECA I sold thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in a month and it took my 3 years to build up my ECA. As a team leader now for over 5 years and an affiliate for over 8 I have yet to earn over 200 dollars in commissions in one month from my network. So go figure.
In conclusion, I'll tell you that if I had to reopen my ECA again I would definitely. But since I choose not to, I'm looking to build an active network in the next 5 years that will produce the kind of income that I was making and then some. The ECA is the quickest route hands down. But long term, you will earn much more from an extensive network of workers. I need 300 PSAs, 13 levels deep. There's a limit to the monthly spend for most everyone so that's why I need 300 PSAs to reach my financial benchmark which is very modest considering.
