When you are sending a message to greet your new PSAs, it is very important to keep it clear, simple and understandable. Here is a guideline that I have used when sending new PSAs the first time:

- Congratulate them for joining your team, choose expressions like “I’m so pleased and excited for joining my team” in other words make them feel welcome.

- Introduce yourself. Their first impression from you as you introduce yourself will have an impact in establishing relationship with them. Emphasize to them that your first priority is their success that you are always there to guide and support them. Include your SFI Leadership Page so they can see what’s in store for your whole team.

- Mention briefly how to get started in their first day by telling them to become a Fast-Track member by simply earning at least 500 VP so that they will receive a bonus of 200 VP and a Fast-Track member badge with a spot on the Fast-Track ‘wall of fame”. This will motivate and help them enormously in moving up to EA.

- A very important core of your message should be the emphasis of SFI BASICS. It is very important that they should focus on this in their first month in order to understand the SFI business concept. This is where they lay their foundation in exploring their full potential as SFI affiliate. That is why you should strongly recommend to them that they should stay on this page only and not move on to other parts of SFI until they fully understand these basics and don’t forget to mention to them that you are always there for support.

- At the end of your message, express how you value very much their decision for joining SFI and that you’re looking forward to work with them.

With these guidelines, you can do your own message by customizing it and make your new affiliates very much welcome as though they belong to your team.

You should participate in both W3 and S-Builder Co-op programs. Both programs are designed uniquely to build your SFI business.

Why you should participate in W3?

- When you join W3, you’re spreading the word about TripleClicks. Your SFI business success is tied directly to the success of TripleClicks (TC).

A bigger and successful TC means:

-- A bigger share of TripleClicks Executive Pool which leads to larger affiliate commissions.

-- More will participate in ECA program which would result in more products and services, better prices and lower shipping costs.

-- When TripleClicks becomes popular, sponsoring SFI affiliates and referring TC members will be easier.

- You only pay the shipping and handling fee of $1.95 once for ordering W3 starter kit. And the only ongoing requirement is that you must complete the simple W3 Reactivation Form each month to confirm your ongoing participation, but this is cost-free and takes only a few minutes each month. For doing this you’ll benefit from:

1. Five TCredits free for every month ($59.40 annual value), which you can use for bidding, playing Eager Zebra games, downloading TC Music and member listings.

2. Fifty MRP (Member Reward Points) free every month, which you can use to redeem any product at TripleClicks.

3. You can also earn unlimited additional TCredits and MRP by doing referrals.

4. You’ll have access to exclusive W3 member-only specials, which will save you money on selected TripleClicks products.

5. You’ll also have access on the song of the month from independent artists worldwide.

Why you should participate in S-Builder Co-op?

- You get the service of experienced marketer, which utilizes worldwide advertising campaign using Magazines & Newspapers, mobile devices, the Internet and other Medias such as TV and radio.

- It takes a couple of weeks to start receiving your sign-ups. It only make sense to set up a SO (Standing Order) for this product to ensure a spot every month costing you only $22 or 72 cents a day.

- It is one of the most economical ways to expand your network and grow your SFI business.

- S-Builder Co-op costs can be shared by encouraging your team members to participate ensuring a consistent flow of sign-ups into your organization.

The Eager Zebra game is an integral part of daily To-Do List where you can have fun generating TCredits, VPs and MRPs while accumulating your much needed action VPs (max. 200 VP) to help you in your requalification of being EA2 or TL.

Maybe for the most affiliates the best means winning more TCredits and MRPs. Some players will just participate to help them fulfill their VP requirements and others may just opt to play just for having fun.

In participating in the Eager Zebra game (Gold Streak, TD Tally, Pick Or Punt, Knockout Trivia, Time Machine and Pick The Price), the following factors will affect your chance of winning/generating TCredits and MRPs:

- Maximum number of entry in a game. How often you can participate in a day.

- The number of participants. The more participant; the better (more TCredits and MRPs to be won).

- The number of winners. Winners will share equally the price, usually TCredits.

How many TCredits are you willing to spend in participating the Eager Zebra game? This will depend on your budget and your motivation as I have mentioned above.

One of the benefits of using auto-responder is, you have a generic, ready made response to your as a way of communication to people that are important for your business and it will save you time having to formulate your own. I will not recommend to use auto-responder in SFI, because you need to build a close relationship with your downline. It is easy to sense a response that is not coming from the heart. You need to personalize and customize your communication with your downline, if you are to build a strong and a solid SFI team.

To answer your question, you need to consider when it is advisable for a PSA to become a Team Leader in regards to duplication, in building a team to solidify the growth of your SFI business.

When to advise or encourage your PSAs to become Team Leaders:

- Knowing your PSAs.

It takes time for new affiliates to learn and understand how to venture SFI. As their Team Leader, you’ll need to guide and support them. It will mean employing your good communication skills, being patient and persistent in training and giving your full support constantly. If you establish close relationship with your affiliates, you’re going to know and identify through their actions, who is ready to take responsibility to become a Team Leader. Encouraging your PSAs to become Team Leaders without understanding the core of SFI is disastrous. It’s possible to become BTL without a team, by making the majority of your VP requirements through sales, but will your PSAs profit from this?

- Identifying your PSAs

Do you know which of your PSAs has the employee mentality or the business owner mentality? An employee mentality needs to be told what to do, while a business owner mentality takes ownership of his/her SFI business. Those who have the business owner mentality are ready to take responsibility to become Team Leaders. You can identify them through their dealings with you as their Team Leader and how they conduct their own SFI business. Those who have the employee mentality will need extra time to emphasize to them that SFI is their own business and they are not dependent on anybody else.

Now that I have mentioned above the important points to consider when to encourage your PSAs to become Team Leaders, you can make the right decision and you’re on your way in building your team with a solid foundation.

Having membership in a social site like LinkedIn could prove to be a very valuable tool in building your SFI business. LinkedIn is one of the most powerful social networking sites to make connections and generate leads for your SFI business.

Here are ways to use LinkedIn help you build your SFI business:

- Join LinkedIn groups.

Joining a group can give you access to people related to your SFI business. Groups that have been created relating to marketing professionals and social media marketing give you the ability to generate leads for building your SFI business. For your basic membership LinkedIn allows you to join up to 50 Groups.

Search for online home based business opportunity, topics and location specific groups that contain concentrations of people to network with them. Spend time looking at the level of participation and conversations. If all you find is updates with members promoting their businesses move on as this group will be of little benefit to your business.

Tip: You should look for groups that don’t tolerate flagrant self-promotion, which is the best groups for lead generation.
-
Create your LinkedIn Groups

After spending some time hanging out with Groups related to your SFI business, you might consider creating your group. The creation of your own topic group is for the sole purpose of discussions of related subjects which interests your prospects/customers, group partners, etc. When you create your group you become the group’s manager and you need to fulfill your responsibilities by committing the time to curate, moderate, stimulate and facilitate group participation.

Furthermore, you need to define clearly your starter content to get people started in talking. You must promote and participate in conversations. Don’t tolerate spam and self-promotion. Right in the beginning make it clear to participants that they will be kicked out if found violating the rules. By setting this tone, your group members will have more reasons to stick around.

Create a landing page on your website promoting the idea behind the group and encourages prospects to join. By doing this you’re building a stronger connection to your group and help prospects better understand what the group is all about.

Here’s how to maximize your LinkedIn group:

1.Add keywords in the description of your group to increase your search rankings on LinkedIn’s search section.

2.Add keywords in the title of the group to be found on Google.

3.Add your website/blog to the group to drive traffic to your site.

4.Add your blog RSS feed to the group so every new article is automatically posted to the home page of every group member.

5.Send a weekly message that adds value for group members and drives traffic back to your site.

6.Connect people in the group by making introductions to those who could potentially do business with one another.

All of these points above will help you generate more leads for your SFI business. Make sure you create a group that fills a need for the audience you’re targeting, so that every prospect that joins the group is a qualified lead.

- Use the Advanced Search in your target market.

The advanced search in LinkedIn page lets you customize your entries to find people you’re looking for. The advanced search is located on the top right side of your home page next to the search box. Clicking the advanced link will enable you to search by industry, keywords, company, title etc. This is a powerful tool in finding your qualified prospects.

- Get in touch with your leads.

The best way to get in touch with your leads is to send them personalized messages. View their profile to find relevant information about them such as, their companies past and present, school they attended, groups they belong to, their hobbies and their mutual connections. These information can help you effectively in personalizing your messages.

Use LinkedIn social network of professionals to attract leads. Connect with right people to market your SFI business using the advanced search features. Keep your profile up-to-date and stay active on LinkedIn. It will provide you more than enough supply of prospect to help you build your SFI business.

Setting up a long term goal as an affiliate will depend on what you envision for your future. Most common primary goals that I have encountered in SFI are the following:

- To become wealthy

- Improve standard of living

- Quit full time job and attain financial freedom

The following questions should help you determine your choice of your long term goals:

- Can you visualize of what you want to do with your life?

- Where will you be in the next five or 10 years?

- Are you convince that SFI provide the means to attain your long term goal?

Many people fail to identify the long term goals that they want to achieve. They might be working hard but don’t seem to get anywhere, because they don’t spend enough time to think about what they want in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. Those who write down their goals accomplish significantly more than those who do not write their goals. Reviewing your long term goal frequently will inspire you.

For me I have stated upon joining SFI to quit my full time job and attain financial freedom. I don’t want to commute 5 days a week to do my full time job, stuck in traffic and get stressed. I would like to spend more time with my family and friends. I believe that SFI is the right opportunity for me to achieve my long term goal.

If you believe in your long term goal hard enough and set to see it in front of you then it will happen. Be true to yourself and let yourself dream. Don’t be stuck in the doom and gloom. If you want your long term goal hard enough then have the willingness to do the change, it all matters into one question: What do you want in life?

Prospecting through the telephone can be a very effective way in sponsoring new PSAs, if it’s done in the right way.

Here are ways to effectively apply this method of sponsoring new PSAs:

- When you call someone over the phone, how you express your passion and excitement about your SFI business opportunity should be easily pick up by your prospect. When your prospect hears how truly enthusiastic you are, he/she can become more excited, too about your offer. Excitement is contagious.

Generally prospects are perceptive and can detect the sincerity and honesty as you talk through the tone of your voice. These are important aspects of your marketing message that simply cannot be transmitted through any form of printed material.

- As you speak with your prospects over the phone, you can also detect whether they are excited, eager, anxious, confuse or doubtful and react to these feelings accordingly. Often, a few extra words of encouragement or giving them more information about a particular aspect of your SFI business opportunity would be enough to make your prospects feel comfortable with your offer. The key here is giving personal attention to your prospect, which is very much appreciated leading to your prospect holding a high opinion of you and your SFI business.

- Prospecting on the phone gives you the advantage to respond to questions immediately. Your prospect may ask you many questions as he/she begins to learn about your SFI opportunity. Put your feet on your prospect’s shoes and feel how confused you were before you became a SFI business owner. You felt reassured as your sponsor answered your questions and concerns right away.

- Most importantly, don’t hang up when you still sense that your prospect has any confusion or hesitation in his/her voice. You need to ensure that everything is clear to your prospect and every concern that he/she has is addressed before ending the call. It can make the difference between a new affiliate in your team and a wasted lead.

Your aim here is to learn and acquire the proper skill about the various methods of marketing your SFI business, so that you can choose a combination that works best for your personality type and your SFI business opportunity.
