Hi Sabrina,

Build Trust
First of all establish a relationship with blog audience or Facebook page. You can use any type of media that works for you.l It is important to build trust. In today's online marketplace there are so many people plugging there products and services that people start to switch off to advertising. Talk about what you've learned about TripleClicks, if you've bought a product, give it a review on your page, find out what your audience are interested in right now through polls and questionnaires. If you build a relationship through your blog or page, your audience will be more likely to buy from you when you do try to sell them something.

Sales
One way that I plug products on Facebook is to copy the photo of the product then upload it onto my page with a brief description and price. In order to bypass the spamming filter, I use an URL shortening tool like bit.ly or adf.ly

I hope you find this of some use.

Wishing you success!

Hi Irena,

Lead by example. Show them what you're getting for your investments. If you're a team leader then show them how you get matching vp and second home CSAs which all add to your income. Explain to them how they will be getting shares in the executive pool for just reaching EA rank and maintaining it.

In your newsletters, you may want to congratulate your team members who reach EA ot team leader and remind them of all the benefits they are getting. This will show your others team members what they can achieve if they made a small investment each month.

I read one of your answers mentioned transference as a terminology. This is a very good idea. I use it myself. The TripleClicks store is filled with a wide variety of products and there are always good deals on offer if you look for them. You may want to carefully select some items and list them (with vp bonus) for your downline to peruse. There are many ways to do this. One is to set up a blog and this way, your downline who are subscribed will see your blogs as and when you publish them.

One piece of advice I think is very important is not to be too pushy. Do not try to sell to your downline as this could get them to run. There is a balance to how you approach the subject of standing orders and making minor investments. I think the key is to get them to ask you, "How can I have what you have?...How much do I need to invest to start earning a profit?" These are the questions you're looking to provoke from your downline. "Yeah right!" I hear some say. Its really not that hard. Just lead by example and show your downline what you are getting from your investment and they will ask you how can I have that too.

I hope this has been at least a little help.

Invest & Prosper my friend!

Hi Ma Victoria,

I noticed you haven't put any information about your store on your T-Connect page nor listed any items. I'm guessing you're waiting to see what answers you get here first. It would be a good idea to put some information about yourself and your proposed products. This way you can start to build connections.

Branding is very important. A good catchy and relevant brand name can attract more affiliates to connect with you. By connecting with you, they're likely to share your products on social media and other sites.

Networking is very important, so connect with as many people as you can on TripleClicks. Join a2a (if you haven't already) and do the same there. Remember to post regularly regarding your latest products and deals both on the stream and on TripleClicks.

Place your items on your leadership page; there is a section for items you recommend. You can also send Team Mail out to all your down-line with the item number and share link of your latest products. Add VersaPoint incentives for affiliates.

The most important thing to remember is to stay connected and share often. This will provide you with maximum exposure on SFI and TripleClicks.

Good luck with your new store!

Hello Ryan!

Thank you for asking such a question that will provoke a huge variety of answers!

First thing that comes to mind would be the right answer...or so I thought. The first thing that came to mind was my CSAs. Maintaining my EA rank has been at the core of my success because my CSAs have been wonderful and because they're easier to come by, I have more chance of having ones that stay active but as I said before, "I thought the fist thing was the right answer!"

On reflection, I can say without a doubt that the one thing that has made the difference to me succeeding here are the other members' support. Taking part in Ask SC has provided me with the answers to any questions I may have and provided me with the means to overcome any obstacles that have presented themselves to me. I have also made use of the a2a stream and get a lot of strength from the quotes and tips of my a2a friends. The other place that has made a difference to whether I have succeeded or thrown in the towel is the Forum. There are always active members waiting to answer our questions. Having the new questions pop up on the 'alerts' tab means that we can be ready to answer the questions of others when a question arises that we feel qualified to answer.

So to answer your question in summary...It is the SFI community that has made all the difference to me succeeding here at SFI.

Engage and Prosper!

Hi Cathy,

Conference calling is fine if you're all in the same time-zone but because of the dynamics of SFI, it isn't very appealing to me because my team are spread around the globe and some may feel left out if they found out I was doing conference calling.

Having said that...most offer recordings of your live events so that those who could not make it for whatever reason can still see and hear all that took place. A traffic exchange that I am a member of use a program called Spreecast.

Spreecast:
It has the host's image on screen with lots of insets at the bottom for all the guests. Everyone can type instantly or request to speak to the whole conference. You can also contact each of the guests individually.

Another program is the well known Pal-Talk.

PalTalk
It has many features and is recognised all over the world. Then of course there are the top video chat programs such as:

Google+ Hangouts, Facebook Chat and Skype.

Conference calling is great if you are doing a presentation/training session but personally, I think one on one yields far better results...unless you have a huge down-line that is.

Wishing you success in all you do!

Thanks Laley!

We should all be able to answer this because it should be the first thing on our mind when we get our new recruit notification.

I tell all my new recruits to go at a pace that is comfortable to them. Don't rush after those Versapoints to achieve BTL when they have no team to lead. VP are like gold dust and treat them as such. They should be aiming for their Fast-Track to get those valuable bonus VP because, as I mentioned before, VP are like gold dust here. Once they've achieved EA status, they can learn the business in a relaxed manner without worrying about anything else.

I advise them to aim towards EA status by the end of the first month. in month 2, they should think about purchasing a standing order to maintain their EA status and thus keeping any CSAs they accumulate. They can now concentrate on building there business by implementing all the tools they've acquired through, Start, SFI Basics, Launchpad and Internet Income Training.

Month 1: Attain EA Rank and use all the training facilities. Start applying the methods learned immediately but not at the cost of training.

Month 2: Purchase a standing order of 1500 VersaPoints and begin to implement all the tools they've acquired so far in recruiting and promoting sales.

A very important fact to make new recruits aware of is this:
You only have to look to the top of the leader-boards to know that SFI really works but you have to put in the hours and it doesn't happen overnight. Invest a little money as you begin to accumulate it and you will see your income grow even further.

In a nutshell, this is what I first make new recruits aware of.

I hope this helps and wish you much success in your SFI/TripleClicks business.

Hi Casshail,

Have your own daily check-list to compliment SFI's 'To-Do' list.

Keeping your daily check-list small and focused will make certain that you're not giving yourself too much to do. Once you've completed your check-list, you can then turn your attention to learning something new to add to the skills you've already acquired.

Sharing News, Tips and Relevant information
Sharing information with your network or team is a classic way of utilising little energy to great effect. Reach out to your team individually and show them you are a compassionate leader. Become accessible to your network and make all in it feel that you are aware they exist. "I read this article and I thought of you..."

Build Your Network
Set yourself a target of how many people you can introduce into your network each day and set about achieving this goal. Now this does not have to be affiliated, it can just be finding 2 new Facebook friends on your page or inviting 2 new people to join your LinkedIn Network.

Motivate Your Team
Work through your team's movements yesterday and send them a note to congratulate them on a sale or achieving a new rank. It doesn't have to be anything so grand. Try to find anything positive that your team are doing right now and show them that you're noticing and appreciating their efforts.

By sharing what I have learned, I hope to help others and hope that those who have more to offer will add to this. Thank you for reading!

Hi Leslie! How are you today?

When you see your affiliates are on-line, you can use the very words I used to greet you at the top of this answer...(Hi [Firstname]! How are you today?)

If you get no response, it could be that they are shy, they don't feel confident speaking to you in English or they just don't feel confident speaking to you period. However... if you just say "Hi!" every time you see them online but don't push it any further, you'll be surprised how many eventually say "Hi!" back. Take your time getting to know them and offer to give them your Facebook page or Twitter username. Skype can scare people off because they think you'll expect them to talk to you live with video and microphone so save your Skype username for your group mail signature.

Another thing to do is to use the group mailer once or twice a week to give them useful information that you have learned that will help them to progress. Always sign it by saying something like, "if there is anything I can do to assist you, please contact me via __________"

The best advice I feel I can give you is not to be pushy (demanding). You're likely to scare them away. Be patient, Leslie. If you're sincere to them, they will come (A Kevin Costner film comes to mind lol)

I hope this has been of some help to you and I wish you a successful venture here at SFI!

Just ask, my friend...Just ask!

I have yet to come across anyone in a2a who hasn't been positive and supportive whether I am in their downline or not. I think you will find most people in a2a are. After all...why join a2a if not to gain inspiration & knowledge from others in SFI and therefore able to pass that inspiration & knowledge along.

Remember..joining a2a is not a requirement to get VersaPoints or any other monetary linked bonus. It is there to compliment all the other helpful tools here.

The best advice I can give to you is to befriend those you notice have a lot of insight into this business and are regularly participating in the forum and in Ask SC. You can go to anyone's profile page and so request to be their a2a friend from almost anywhere: The Forum, Ask SC(once their identities are revealed) or you can look through the suggestions at a2a.

Of course, the day will come when others seek you out for some inspiration or positive advice and it will be your duty to do as your predecessors once did for you. I say "duty" but I am sure you will gladly help those who ask.

This has been my experience in a2a and I am very glad I joined.

I hope this has been of some help to you and I wish you a successful career here at SFI!

Thank you for asking this valid question!

I am fairly new to SFI (new to marketing altogether) but have learned so much in just over a month from the wealth of training provided by SFI. I apologise that I am not as articulate as many who answer here but feel I would like to contribute by sharing what I have learned.

Personally, I believe that all we need to succeed in SFI is the capacity to learn. SFI provides us with the necessary tools and gives us the know-how to implement them. If one follows the steps provided in the LaunchPad and the training tab then he/she are well on their way to success. Here's what I have learnt along the way:

1. Patience

I must admit, on my first day, I had a lot of unrealistic expectations but I soon learned-through reading the lessons provided-that to build a successful business, I must first concentrate on building a solid foundation. SFI is not a scam. It does not offer any Get-Rich-Quick Scheme. What it does offer is...through hard work and time spent building your down line and time spent on building an advertising campaign to sell TripleClicks products, you can earn a reasonable income...and if you apply yourself even further, you can earn enough to quit your job.

2. Determination

Get a grip on your emotions and focus on your goals. Once you've determined what you want out of your business, set a realistic time frame to achieve your goals. Be determined and apply yourself daily in the pursuit of your goals. This is a business therefore you must treat it as such. Clock in everyday and be the best that you can be.

3. Motivation

Not only will you need to be motivated but you will need to motivate your team. If this is your first leadership role, take advice from your up line. Visit the 'Be an Awesome Sponsor' page. Do all you can to attain the skills needed to motivate your team. Duplication of your success is a key factor in SFI Basics(not without good reason). If you have managed to achieve your goal of how many active members you personally sponsor, teach your PSAs how to duplicate your goals and they will teach their PSAs and so on.

Give me another month and I am certain I will answer this question far more extensively. I hope I have been able to contribute and help others to see that SFI works if you apply it daily and take in all the knowledge provided.

Thank you!
