Encouraging your affiliates to set a standing in when they do not have the means is impossible. Yet, I venture to say that there is something of value on the TC Marketplace that will fit into any budget! So the key to helping affiliates set a standing order relies upon building rapport with them to better understand their budget and personal needs. Some products may not be of benefit added value to your affiliate. If this is the perception, then you must understand.

When your affiliates ask how to be successful in SFI with no investment of money you determine their commitment level and move forward from there. To determine this ask open ended questions. For example, tell me what you hope to accomplish this month in your SFI business? How much time can you commit to learning thr business? When do you anticipate that you will be able to make an investment of cash? It is important for you as the sponsor to ask enough questions to determine your best course

Remember this simple rule of thumb in advertising (keep it simple stupid) KISS!

You are the expert - your clients are not so don't give them too much information - it will only confuse them.

Give them enough information to grab their attention. Then peak their interest with the most benefit added quality. Finally, tell them the advantage of your product over the competition and ask for their business.

The best way to motivate your friends to join SFI is by your consistant, passionate pursuit of your goals. Everyone has lots of friends. They love and respect you so you have nothing to sell or prove to them. If you stick with SFI long enough you and take the appropriate actions you will gain traction and start to have good success. Then when your friends ask you about your 'new found success' just simply remind them that you never gave up on your dreams and you are still in SFI!

Do you reward your active CSAs the same as you reward your active PSAs? If not, how do you reward them?

Rewarding active CSAs the with the same reward as your PSAs may not be cost effective; however, you should definitely have incentives for your active CSAs. Your direct commission for PSAs is 45%. On CSAs, its only 15%. So you can only give in proportion to the amount of DC they bring. The team building services I provide to my network, I provide across the board. The team support I give across the board. Should I get an email from a CSA and one from a PSA I am going to reply to the one I received

The best payment option is available to Nigerian affiliates is the Payoneer Master Card because when an affiliate accrues $20 dollars on their account applying for one is quick, simple, and easy PLUS you earn 500 versa points by doing so and you'll have access to buy TC products and services that will help you grow your SFI business.

What methods do the top enrollers use to sponsor so many affiliates each day?

The way top enrollers sponsor so many affiliates is through paid advertising. Free advertising can work as well when your blog or website has high ranking in the search engines but this takes about 6 mos to about 18 mos and its a lot of work. To control costs a mix of well placed free ads and paid ads gives you more leverage. Finally, the icing on the cake is to join or start a co-op. Co-opting allows you to pool dollars together for the benefit of all the participants. If you can pool together

If you don't have an active sponsor, don't despair. SFI is drop dead simple and if you stay the course long enough you will began to get traction. It's only natural to look for someone to "hold your hand" through the uncertainties of building a successful business. Honestly, trial & error is your best mentor. Learn by doing and achieving. Read up on anything about the business you don't understand. If you have questions, just ask me and if I don't know the answer I will get one

The best way to get anybody to notice/respond to you is to strive toward excellence. Good sponsors monitor their teams activity. As written in the rules of success - work with the workers! So if you want your sponsor to respond to you then make EA and do everything to keep it! Then if you have questions about what's the best way to maintain your EA status, then your sponsor will undoubtedly be seriously interested in helping you. If you don't try to do your best, your sponsor is not going to

How can I best respond to an affiliate who feels they worked hard but are unhappy with their first commission?

Empathize with affiliates who are unsatisfied with their first SFI commission. Tell them what yours was and assure them by explaining why you decided to stay with SFI. My first commission was 6.33! That's peanuts! But, now I've taken my 'peanuts' to make 'peanut butter' and real soon I can see how SFI will provide me some real 'bread & butter!' Seriously, building success does take time. I've been in SFI since 2007 and I didn't get my 'ahh ha' moment until 2010 - 2010! That's 3 years before
