How would you convince an affiliate who has abandoned SFI to restart again?

Anyone who has not come to their Home page for 30 days has pretty much abandoned SFI, in my opinion. I would not wait until SFI closes them out.
I would pursue them as gently and persistently as possible without driving them crazy! Send out individual team mail once a week. Halfway to the next time, send them an e-Card. Two contacts per week should be more than enough.
Pick perky, funny e-Cards. Let your messages on Cards and team mails be light chatter about what's going on at SFI. Tell about new developments - Time Machine, PickthePrice, T-Time, changes within Pricebenders - that will catch their attention.
Pretend you are talking to your best friend, telling about good things that happened to you this week. You finally won an auction; won the Daily Grand for 200VP; etc. Tell about what you learned the other day in a Forum reply that you hadn't known before; something funny someone told in Forum; new a2a friend who tells funny jokes....
Just chatter with them, not real long messages. Occasionally, throw in comments about getting them active by using the appropriate eCard, but don't hammer on it. Use the right card, and a light "we miss you" type of thing.
You want to reignite their curiosity without over-hounding them. Mostly use chatty, best friend conversations with light jabs now and then.
Wishing you success...

When seeking serious affiliates for SFI, what is the most important question to ask the prospect?

A good one to get them thinking in the direction of residual income is "What are your plans for your retirement years?"
Regardless of how old they are, it has crossed the minds of most everyone by at least their mid-20s. Things they hear people discussing, see on TV, read in advertising...
This can be a good starting question. Others could be "Are you happy with your current job?". Would you like to own your own business? Would you like to be able to work from home and still be able to support your family? Would you like to be your own boss?
These are all questions that will get them thinking about possibilities! Sort of like kindling for the fire you are trying to build in them!
I hope this little piece helps you create a successful way to get prospects' attention, get them to thinking along realistic lines!:))...

Rather than waiting for them to offer help, I would suggest you carefully formulate your questions, then send them an email or ecard.
This will indicate you are interested in growing your business, but need some help that you would like to get from them.
Remember, if you do not get the responses you need, you have many alternative sources for help and support: Forum - ask your question or explain predicament; askSC - many thousands of questions posed with many times that for answers; a2a friends; FAQs in Support area; and, of course, Support.
Do not forget all the training information contained within tabs on black bar on home page.
If you have a question, SFI will have an answer!:))...

What is the best payment option for a Standing Order for an affiliate who does not have a credit card?

My best suggestion would be to set up your standing order payment directly from your bank account. Most banks have at least debit cards to go with checking accounts.
This works for me, so I have not had need to learn of other payment methods.
Hopefully, there will be some answers here that will help you more than I have:))...
How do I get my affiliates to understand the importance of grabbing the DAILY Action VP available to them?

Explain the risk they take, by NOT gathering them, of missing out on reaching or maintaining the rank they want, whether it be EA2 or all the way to Diamond Team Leader!! Many times in the Forum have come desperate queries from affiliates who are so very close to their goal, but cannot reach it because they have missed collecting some of those free, easily attainable daily AVPs!!
The other major reason for collecting those daily VPs is the free knowledge available on many of the tabs. Forum always has interesting problems and solutions. Some are pure training, from a different perspective.
Rating 10 AskSC answers gains 1AVP, the extra 20 will gain them an extra entry in the Daily Grand Drawing for prizes from TCs, Mrps to AVPs, and Lifetime Prestige Domains!! Also, even though sometimes it is tedious, reading all those answers to the same question gives you a wide variety of perspectives, and sometimes an "ah-HA!" light will come on:))
Tips tab also can have some very good advice.
By explaining these ideas, your affiliates will hopefully start making sure they get all the AVPs they can from the red tabs, games and auctions!:)...

Someone should want to be an SFI affiliate because they will discover within their first 24 hours that they have all the training and help they will need to create a successful business - and the only cost is their time!!
Never have I experienced the quality, quantity and availability of so much training! And that's even before they discover the Forum, a2a, and askSC...
SFI, without a doubt, can be the answer to all their needs for income from home.
Hope this helps....
These similar questions will provide much more information: How is SFI different or better than other affiliate programs? And...Why should I remain focused on my SFI business when there are other companies offering me allegedly similar oppotunities?

What yardstick should I use to give an unbiased and appropriate rating of my Sponsor each month?

When your sponsor contacts you, is there useful information? Encouragement? Suggestions?
Do they contact you at least every week or two? Do they remind you that they are there to help, regardless of the question? Do they respond when you contact them? Are their responses helpful?
All these things need to be considered when rating sponsors, co-sponsors. These things I've mentioned should count well for them. If they seem to take a personal interest in YOU, the person, as opposed to "another downline member", that adds weight to their rating, too.
Other than these types of things, go with your personal response to your sponsor. If you feel they are genuinely trying to be helpful and supportive, rate them high.
If you do not feel they have done their best, rate accordingly.
Each affiliate should rate according to how they feel about their sponsor, regardless what others may be saying about that particular sponsor. Rate by YOUR opinion, no one else's.
Best wishes:))...

Since Facebook and other social sites have become so sensitized to spamming/scamming, it has made direct marketing a little more complex.
The consensus seems to be it is far better to set up your own blog or website, then advertise THAT on FB and the others. Use your blog to talk up your favorite subject, be it books/authors, cooking, fishing, racing, gardening or anything in between!:) OR, make your blog be all about SFI and TripleClicks.
I think it might be wiser to use your blog for something you like, saving the last paragraph or two for something about SFI & TC. Update your blog at least twice, maybe 3 times per week. Create your following with blog subject as bait with SFI info and banners, pictures as the hook. Advertise your blog wherever you can.
Be sure to keep track of clicks to SFI/TC, and conversions.
Good luck to all:))...

Seniors very often have much time available, but not a lot of money to spare.
For them, my best suggestion would be to do dailies, invest in at least the 125 pack of TCredits, use them to bid auctions for P/CSAs. They could also concentrate on PRMs, make some extra money by selling 200Pack TCredits to them.
You might be able to recruit some seniors with sales backgrounds already.
Good idea to not forget the seniors, they could very well become some of your best team members!!
Good fortune to you:))...

First off, there is a fortune of AVPs to make it easier for them to reach their rank goals!! All they need do is spend a little time daily to read information, click buttons, be rewarded. Could not be much more simple.
Plus, there are additional benefits, such as the extra Daily Grand entry for rating the extra 20 AskSC answers, which is also a learning experience. And the Daily Grand can award them more AVPs as well as a variety of other prizes!
There is not really anything involved with clearing the red tabs that is a waste of time. Everything is geared toward advancing one to success, whatever their individual definitions may be.
I make a practice of clearing those tabs daily, and by doing all the tasks, including reading &/or replying to forum posts, there is a great deal of learning, and the fun of playing games!!
Best wishes to all for successfully clearing red tabs EVERY day for maximum effect!!:))...
