Simple: Leading by Example.

Some of the factors which can help the affiliates to become serious business builders in SFI are:

1. Achievements:

Your badges are the reflection of your achievements. The more, you have on your Home Page, the more the affiliates will be inspired.

2. Performance:

Your performance matters most for your affiliates to follow suit. Just imagine - you are just an EA for 3-5 months and you expect your affiliates to become a Team Leader quickly. Will it inspire your affiliate to become serious?

3. Communication:

Regular and consistent communication with the affiliates will help. The letters should provide qualitative inputs which should arouse deep interest in their minds to become serious and do better.

4. Sincerity:

What ever you do, what ever you speak should reflect your sincere concern for your affiliate's growth and success.

5. Approach:

Your approach should be genuine, honest and should reflect your open mindedness. On the other hand, if the affiliates suspect your approach to be " commercial" they will not listen to you.

6. Building Trust:

Our affiliates are also " Independent Contractors" like us - the Sponsors - as for as SFI business is concerned. They too are here to learn, understand and grow. Our aim should be to build good bonding based on mutual trust and respect. If we do, the affiliates will be more serious SFI business builders.

7. Help to grow:

We should help them read and understand the SFI Rules of Success; Make them read SFI Basics, LaunchPad and other Training materials including visit to Forum regularly. When they are able to strengthen their foundation, they will become serious business builders.

8. Investment:

Finally, wherever possible, we should help them to minimize their expenditures & stick to their budget to build their business. We can provide them adequate information on: Ads. in free sites, social media, PTC sites, S-Builder Co-Op, PSAs to Go, etc. Once they realize the need to have a strong and active team, they will understand all these in the right earnest and will become serious business builders.

Conclusion:

My understanding of SFI business is:

- Together. we can grow.
- Together, we can achieve.
- Together, we can succeed.
- When we exhibit " Togetherness", I conclude that all our affiliates will become
Serious business builders in SFI!!!

Advertisement is basically a means by which we try to promote our products or services. We can not predict the outcome in terms of response it will generate.

However, by knowing certain things before placing an ad. we can do a better job.

1. Choose the Location & know population strength;
2. Know the culture & tradition of the citizens;
3. Know their spending behavior & pattern of spending;
4. Choose the appropriate Language;
5. Select the correct medium of ad. - Audio/Video/Print/Hand Bills, etc;
6. If Mass media like Radio/TV then know the prime time;
7. Keep the ad. budget in mind;
8. Possible, have a test ad. done through a free weekly & see the result;
9. Need be, repeat this & monitor the progress;
10.Take a decision - Go ahead with lot of enthusiasm and optimism;


Even, if the ad. fails to generate the required response do not lose hope. It's a learning experience. You will be able to move forward with caution in future!!

Organizations spend a lot on ads. through Print and other Mass media. Same ad. gets repeated in different TV Channels repeatedly during festive and off seasons. It's all in the game.

No one can predict the outcome before hand. If that is possible, every human being would have been rich and successful businessmen by now. Reality is quite different!!

Conclusion:

Please do some planning initially and proceed with caution before placing an ad. Explore all possible free avenues to place ads. See the results and then Taken a decision or stick to a particular plan.

I would suggest providing honest and genuine information to the prospects.

If we try to provide too much information they may or may not have the patience to listen to us.

At the same time, if we try to be very brief they may not be convinced either.

More than providing either too long or too short an information, it is very essential that we should not give them any wrong information. We may mislead; they may join; but once they understand the reality they quit immediately. Our hard earned respect and relationship will be jeopardized.

I feel, we can brief them. Then we can request them to visit our JMT Gateway for more understanding of SFI.

This particular Gateway is the best. It provides all essential information about:

1. SFI/TripleClicks;
2. SFI Business;
3. Compensation Plan;
4. Your Profile;
5. Your achievements;
6. A personalized invite from you;
7. Testimonials by others; and
8. Much more


It is neither brief or so elaborate. But, it contains all relevant information that a new comer will look for.

In short, it does the " talking" on all our behalf.

Conclusion:

Please lead your prospects after an initial introduction, to your JMT Gateway. It will help you a lot. My experience only confirms this.

The idea is very bright and good.

Individual letter is a must. It should be preceded by a Welcome - E Card.

Personalized welcome letter will create a warm and friendly climate for the new member to feel assured. This will motivate him to communicate back.

First impression is the best impression. Our communication should not be " mechanical " just speaking about "Do this and Don't do that" will only make the new affiliate skeptical. Worst - he may decide to quit sooner than one imagines.

The initial communication should just congratulate him for joining SFI Business as an Independent Contractor. It can welcome him to your Team making him feel your deep joy in having him in your Team.

Then, your letter can highlight your commitment to support him so that every one can grow step by step, together continuously.

When our intention is right, naturally the execution will also be right.

A open minded communication with a genuine and honest feeling towards the other person's well being and growth will certainly open the heart of the other person. You will be able to develop a good rapport soon which will blossom into a fine bonding in future.

Conclusion:

I would say, YES!! Its worthwhile to create individual, personalized welcome letters to new PSAs using information from their Affiliate Profile. At the same time, do remember, we do not know how many of them would have filled their Profile Page. But, still it's a good attempt.

Thanks for this interesting question.

The answer is quite simple.

We are in business. SFI is a business - That too an international business. All our Team members are in business. All are from different walks of life.

The growth of each person is linked to the other in one aspect or the other. As sponsors our job is to support them so that they will become strong and remain active and will look for opportunities to develop and expand their team.

We communicate with them through SFI Group Mailer System or SFI Chat System, etc. Movers and Genealogy Reports give us the requisite information about each and every one in our Team.

Based on this we react on a member to member basis. If everything is fine a simple Group Mail is fine. If somebody needs to be supported individually then a Tip Card or a individual mail is adequate.

English is the thread that unites all our Team Members with one another. If any member feels it difficult to read/understand English that is always known to us in advance when we receive their commitment letter (after their sign up).; Their Profile will tell us whether their language is English or others.

If any of them remain inactive because of language barrier we have Free Translator to convert our English Text into their language & send it to them. That way it will help the Sponsor and the Down line remain connected.

When some one in the Team is serious he or she will certainly look for means to communicate & get their problems settled. More over, when ever we introduce new sign ups we always tend introduce people (friends/relatives, etc) from our own area. This way language/culture/timezones may not pose any serious problem.

We have consider every person's situation & circumstances on their merit and should act suitably. It can not be generalized.

If you ask about my Team specifically, I do not have this problem as I have mainly local members (from my own country and own native area); I do have some members from other countries where English is the normal language in use. Still there are few members who may not understand English. I translate my texts into their language and encourage them.

The other side, many of them still remain inactive due to reasons known only to them.

Conclusion:

In short, managing the team with many cultures and timezones is not a problem at all. Having strong and active members under your Team is the biggest challenge all of us face here.

For this too, we need to be patient. Perseverance is the key. Let's do out job and remain optimistic. Who ever is serious will definitely active - if not today at least in future!!

Thanks for this question.

SFI is business. WE should approach it like any other business. We are in business.

In business, we cannot have any limitations or barriers. We always like to explore new and more opportunities to do business or to expand business.

Language and environment can not be barriers. We cannot afford to have any boundaries and we cannot afford to have any limiting factors.

SFI is a place where sky is the limit for one to grow. If one follows the SFI rules of success and work on a plan with patience and perseverance certainly the growth is assured. SFI is an international organization with proven track record. It provides ample opportunities to every affiliate. There is nothing that is not available here. If we learn and follow the basics, we can certainly have consistent growth.

Communication is not a problem in business. Free translation facilities are available. English is the common language. If the communication is in simple words any one can understand it easily. Such being the case, why should we limit our growth by just trying to build a team within our own spoken language and environment.

Conclusion:

Build a strong team of active affiliates. Don't limit yourself. Go beyond the boundaries of own spoken language and environment. SFI business presents vast opportunities. Explore them continuously. Scale new mountains. Win continuously together with your Team. SFI Business has no barriers like language, environment, etc. Be a global citizen!!

Thanks for this interesting question.

In any endeavor if you want to be successful you need to arm yourself with adequate information and build your knowledge. This information needs to be up dated so that the acquired knowledge will be very handy in performing your tasks without any difficulty.

To gather such information what you will do? You will naturally read all news papers,books visit various sites through the internet, etc. Correct?

SFI is a business. We should treat it like any other business. Then only we will be successful here.

To be successful, we need to perform various actions, tasks, etc on a day to day basis. Some of them will require certain information. If we are not aware of it what should we do? We will be forced to go through various Training Materials, ASK SC questions, etc. Many times, we will be impatient to go through the vast information bank provided by SFI.

Then the simplest means available is SFI Forum!! Right??

In Forum, every day, we find lot many exchange of information amongst the affiliates. These are provided in simplest language - easy to understand. It will be quite surprising to find that questions which we hesitate to raise are all getting raised and answered by our friends.

By visiting the Forum daily:

1. One gets news on new products, current development, etc;
2. One is able to get his/her questions answered by fellow affiliates;
3. Authentic clarification is provided by the Founder Gery himself;
4. Forum is a very good means to exchange ideas & information;
5. Forum provides motivations through inspiring posts;
6. Forum provides opportunities to know growth of fellow affiliates from which we
can take a leaf for our business;
7. Forum helps in acquiring knowledge which should help in strengthening our Team;
8. Forum acts as a means of communication;
9. Forum serves to establish new friendship;

I am a regular reader and contributor to Forum!!

Conclusion:

Visiting Forum should definitely help any one - in one way or the other to furthering his/her business prospects!!

When a person joins SFI, he or she should:

1. Know what are all the information available on the Home Page;
2. Know what are all the Tabs available there;
3. Should visit Each & Every Tab (No need to be thorough with each of them on Day 1-
This habit will help him/her to be familiar with all the in built details);
4. Should visit To Do List, Read & understand the significance of each and every Action
furnished under different heads like Getting Started, Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Inter-
mediate, etc, etc.

By doing the above, step by step, the affiliate will be able to understand that:

1. He is into a serious business &
2. It needs to be focused on a daily basis
3. Since he already visited Basics, he will now be able to know the significance of
earning VersaPoints, Compensation Plan, etc.

Now, the new affiliate is into serious act.

As Sponsor, it is now our responsibility to stay connected with him. We should guide him to read LaunchPad lessons regularly.

In case any clarifications are required, we should be in a position to provide satisfactory answers to him.

Once a good rapport is established, we can help them to know more about Fast Track benefits, Significance of a Standing Order, Importance of Duplication, etc.

We should do all these quoting from our own experience with SFI. This will convince the new affiliate to stay focused and do better in his business.

Conclusion:

When we introduce somebody, we should ensure giving our JMT Gateway to join. That will help him to understand certain things about SFI. While briefing them initially, we should do it with lot of honesty and sincerity. We should not give any blank promises. Keeping all these in mind, when we work with them I think the new affiliates will become good performers soon.
