The moment a prospect signs up, a comprehensive, carefully scheduled training process sets in motion. SFI has put together one of the most, if not The most effective training package to help affiliate gain the knowledge, the skills and the work ethics needed to succeed online.

This training is designed to expose the new SFI member to all the material and information available in a ways that will benefit them, without overwhelming them.

As a sponsor, I view my role, as the first point of support for the affiliates (PSAs and CSAs) who join my team. From my welcome letter onward, I establish and maintain communication lines focused on building with them professional relationships, offering help, tips and motivational advice.

I present myself to my team members as a friend, a mentor, and a person to whom they can turn to for any question they may have or any clarification they seek.

We cannot duplicate the training SFI is offering, and we should avoid at all costs any attempts to do so. We should not add to the volume and density of the SFI training material. Our role is to help our affiliates gain the most out of it.

This way, our actions enhance the entire training process, as we help the affiliates fully understand the concepts, apply the promoting, sales and sponsoring techniques that are being taught, and guide them in their first steps towards building their teams.

This is the approach that allows our intervention to remain in harmony with the SFI training without interfering, slowing down the affiliate or pressuring them, at the risk of turning them away.

An important part of our training role is to guide and motivate our affiliate to take initiative, learn where to find answers to their questions, build independence, and be self reliant.

It is in our best interest to have affiliate who are resilient, self motivated, effective team builders, productive productive entrepreneurs and team players.

One thing we should avoid is to turn our affiliate into dependent people.

When we accomplish the above, we will have made great progress in our team building efforts in ways that are highly beneficial to our affiliates as well.

For effective, professional and result oriented communications, most of our business building needs are met with SFI' s resources and tools. The various components of the Team mail (Genealogy, PSA and CSA mailers), the E-cards, the internal message system, the SFI IM chat, the stream posts and the Leadership page, are all highly suitable for our business objectives.

Furthermore, SFI offers the opportunity to use external communication resources. Email between sponsors and PSAs/CSAs is available. We also are advised to list our phone numbers, our Skype and/or AIM contacts, our Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn IDs.

Facebook and LinkedIn groups as well as Google hangouts can be effective in providing additional training on duplication and support. Posting there may have similar results as using the SFI Leadership page.

Any need assessment of additional communications resources should be based on evidence of tangible increased effectiveness.

If we realize that some affiliates do not respond to the SFI traditional communication tools, we may, then, look for other alternatives. The goal is to have have positive results: get our team members active and see their businesses grow.

There are also questions of personal preferences. If a sponsor and their team member enjoy using a particular internet app and agree to communicate through it for business reasons, there may not be any harm in doing so, provided that SFI communication guidelines and rules are observed.

Numerous SFI features combine both business objectives and entertainment possibilities, especially with the Eager Zebra Games, or Pricebenders auctions.

Making money while fulfilling one's hobby is a worthy form of creating excitement and fun for many.

However, these are very subjective notions. What is exciting and fun for someone may not have the same effect for another. Some of us will find excitement in winning auctions, others in being at the top of the leadership boards. Sports fans will find it in the Uber-Picks games, while those who enjoy trivia will turn to Knockout Trivia or the Gold Streak.

I personally find excitement and fun writing to answer Ask SC questions, to see my Executive Pool points growing or to win a Flash draw at the auctions.

Again, it is all very personal.

If you want to focus on providing entertainment to your team members, my suggestion would to get to know each one of them and their hobbies very well. From that insight, you can organize activities around the major SFI income streams.

Your team members who share common interests and hobbies may compete for prizes on the games you defines according to rules agreed upon.

You can elect to reward those of your team members who enjoy Trivia games if they win at the Knockout Trivia or the Gold Streak.

The same may apply to sports fans with the Uber-Picks games.

For others who are more business minded, you may resort to the more traditional forms of contests based on sales and sponsoring goals.

The Leadership page is an excellent tool for setting up those contests, defining the rules and identifying the prizes to be awarded.

The Signing Bonus (SB) is a welcome incentive for SFI affiliates who sponsor new sign-ups in helping to retain them and groom them into fully fledged active team members. It is scaled up to $40 when the new affiliates qualify for the Silver Fast Tract, and to $100 when they qualify for Gold Fast Track.

From the sponsor's point of view, the SB is a tool to provide incentives to PSAs to get them active.

From the new sign-up stand point, obviously, it's logical to assume that every new member would want to earn a $100 SB, instead of the $20,or even the $40.

Hence, the sight is set to reaching Gold Fast Track which is attained when the affiliate gets the New Member Pack (NMP) within their first 10 days of joining.

The NMP is another equally strong business building tool. It comes with:
- 3 CSAs added to the affiliate's team
- 500 VersaPoints
- Fast-Track Bonus Share
- 50 TCredits
- 200 Member Rewards Points
- 10 Eager Zebra Express "tokens"
- 30 free entries in the TripleClicks Daily Crown drawings.

The NMP costs only $20. Thus, this is a no brainier investment which will pay back 5 fold within 18 months through the SB.

As a sponsor, I am using both the SB and the NMP as combined incentives. I am committed to helping every one of my new sign-ups qualify for the Gold Fast Track and groom them to be active, earn the regular commissions and collect their $100 SB.
.
The first step is to educate our new team members on the benefits of being a Gold Fast Track: what it can do for their rapid progress in building their business, and qualifying through the first rounds of the E365 contest.

We can use Gift Certificates to help those affiliates who genuinely want to qualify for Gold Fast Track but, for some temporary reasons, are not able to. Overall, Gift certificates are excellent sponsoring tools to help our PSAs upgrade to higher ranks. It is very much appropriate to use them here.

To encourage affiliates to be active and take their businesses seriously, signing bonuses (SB) are directly linked to actual earned commissions. They will be paid out with as a percentage (3%) of those regular commission earnings for a maximum of 18 months.

The announcement of the SB provides us with a practical example that explains how it will be applied: with a monthly commission of $400, the 3% of the SB will equal $12 and the affiliate will be credited with a $412 monthly commission This will be repeated each month until the entire SB is paid out, within the first 18 months of joining.

This is just an example, it does not mean that an affiliate should earn $400 a month to be paid the SB. They can earn less or more and still get their 3% from the SB added for them

In fact, at the average monthly earned commissions of $400, the $100 SB will be paid out in less than 9 months.

After computing the above numbers, it appears that, for an affiliate to be paid the entire $100 SB in 18 months, they need to earn $3,334 in commissions within those 18 months, i.e an average monthly commission of $185.22

If an affiliate earns more than this average of $185.22 per month, the SB will be paid out before the end of the 18 months period. However, if the SB is not fully paid out before the expiration of the first 18 months, we should assume that the remaining balance is forfeited.

This aspect should be stressed from the beginning so that new affiliates are fully aware on how they can get paid their full $100 SB.

Hence, to use the SB to effectively help new affiliates, we should educate them on the importance of qualifying for Gold Fast Track, the benefits that come with the NMP and how it can help them build their businesses, qualify through the E365 rounds; and, equally important, the need to be fully active, grow their businesses, earn commissions and collect their $100 SB within the 18 months timeframe.

It was over 10 years ago that I came across a book discussing the benefits of businesses with multiple streams of income. Since then, many other publications have been released on the same topic, both online and offline. All that time, a question has always been in my mind: "Where to find that business which offers multiple streams of income with so strings attached?"

I searched, for a long time, for a genuine opportunity that is not presented with hype, false claims, and unrealistic income projections. When I registered with SFI, I realized that it is what I have been looking for.

The moment we join, we have full access to all the training, all the business building tools, and all the technical support. There is no access fee, no rank requirements for starting to grow our businesses and seeing results from our personal efforts.

Every SFI member can educate themselves through two highly enlightening charts they will see if they pay attention in their training. One compares SFI with other online opportunities

http://www.sfimg.com/ReviewSIM/SFIComparisonChart.pdf

The second is the benefit charts that details the different power ranks, perks and payouts
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart?referrer=search

When we add to the above the Income Index, we have a detailed view on how SFI stands out, and what we can achieve here
https://www.sfimg.com/Income/

As a result, there is not a shred of doubt in my mind that SFI has been, for some time, the No. 1. And this is more true, today.

A success track record in its 18th year, grounded on a previous history of high achievements in the industry, an equally high rate a growth, both locally and worldwide, numerous personal success stories shared at the Forum, all the above give us tangible evidence that SFI is real, its potential is real, results are being achieved here and will continue to happen at a faster rate to the benefit of more affiliates.

It is also important to remain realistic. No success will happen without work. Nobody should expect to earn an income without taking action. From that standpoint, SFI is like any other legitimate business out there. It requires sponsoring and selling.

Hence, we can and should focus on promoting all the income streams, or at least, as many of them as we possibly can, to maximize our income potential.

The efforts we need to put in any business to make it worthwhile will pay back much more if we make those same efforts with SFI.

This is a fact.

SFI affords us the possibilities to both earn monthly commissions and build a residual income with little or no required prior spending.

Building our teams is critical for earning a substantial SFI income. Thus, my understanding of an SFI team is all the members on whom, directly or indirectly, we earn commissions.

We earn directly on our PSAs and CSAs, as well as our PRMs and personally referred ECAs. We also earn direct commissions on any other ECA whose products and services we promote. For such ECAs, we do not have a direct impact, beside our promotional activity.

We earn indirectly on our 2nd-to-12 Generation genealogy through the Executive Pool, when they qualify as Executive Affiliate 2 (EA2). These 2nd-to-12 generations are built through teaching duplication and re-assigning affiliates, all of which is done within SFI.

Similarly, the only sources of CSAs are also within SFI

The core of our SFI team that remains is made up of PSAs, ECAs and PRMs for which most of the business building resources and tools being used today are available within SFI. This is the first set.

SFI recognizes the importance of a second set and, explicitly, encourages us to take advantage of them, such as building a website, running a blog, being active in the social media. When these resources and tools are effectively used, they will go a long way in helping us see positive results from our business building efforts.

There is a third set of resources and tools. They include autoresponders, video recording and webinars.

Autoresponders are essential in managing and following up on traffic we generating through websites, blogs and email marketing, as well as list building, to name a few.

Video recording or the use of video sites such as YouTube have proven highly beneficial in generating organic traffic.

Webinars play a similar role. They can also be used for recruiting direct sign-ups into SFI gateways.

Undoubtedly, other resources and tools are constantly being developed. As SFI Affiliates eager to grow our businesses while optimizing our business building results, we should be on the outlook for any beneficial addition to the resources and tools we are using.

The first observation is for answering your question to the letter: If you have (1) a standing order (SO) that meets the standard requirements of 1500 VP, (2) you have, every month, one or more units of the S-Builder Co-op, plus one or more packages of the PSAs-to-go, and (4) you maintain the weekly team mail to your entire downline, then, you can spend your hour diligently (a) working your daily tasks of the 'to-do-list', (b) and bid on the Pricebenders auctions that have the Bid Assist at least once a week. You may also want to have advertising campaigns running for sponsoring PSAs, referring ECAs and PMRs.

The above should take care of the basic needs of maintaining a level of activity to keep your business making progress. Some of these tasks take little time to complete but may yield great positive results.

The second observation is that, from my standpoint, this should only be a temporary situation. SFI deserves much more than just one hour a day.

A committed affiliate will be creative enough to overcome the obstacles that might stand on the way.

I worked my SFI business as part time only for a few short months as a I saw clearly its potential in terms of both long term residual income and the possibility to earn commissions as soon as one takes it seriously. As a result, I gave it full attention and have been spending on it much more than one hour a day.

I am motivating my team members, both PSAs and CSAs to take SFI at heart, allocate to it the necessary time and focus their efforts on the activities that are most likely to have the greatest positive impact. They can see from my activity and my results that I am doing the same. Some of the them do have full time jobs in addition to SFI. But, the fact that they are busy has not been an obstacle for their being among my top movers and producers.

Whether we are among the wealthiest or the poorest, we all have exactly the same amount of time: 24 hours a day. Nobody has the privilege for more. What we do with that time is up to us. It is our choice to use it in the most productive ways, or otherwise. That is precisely the single most important difference between the well off and the ones at the bottom among those who are not.

To motivate ourselves to work SFI thoroughly, we have to see its full potential, make the sound decision to give it our priority and aim as high as we can. Our vision of the success that is possible here will propel us to take action in order to get to where we want to be. Then, we will find the time to do that, using our imagination and being creative as well as efficient in our time allocation.

Even if one is working a full time job, with the convenience of hand held devices such as smartphones, and iPads, one can find enough time to spend on growing one's SFI business. Whoever is fully committed to their success with SFI will find this relatively easy to do. One can wake up 30 minutes earlier and spend them on SFI. If one is using public transportation, one can allocate that time to SFI. Lunch dime and other opportunities could also be taken into consideration. One can delay going to bed for 30 minutes, and spend that time on SFI. When all add up, close to 3 hours or more a day can be spared for SFI. In other words our level of commitment will help us find the necessary time to run our SFI businesses reasonably well until our situations changes and allows you to work it full time.

Yes, we will see answers to this question suggesting that you devote that hour to go through your daily tasks: "turn the red tabs onto green" as one put it. But building an SFI team of successful affiliates will require much more. If you are in a situation that compels you to slow down with SFI, you can limit yourself to the basic tasks, until your solve the problems that are facing you. But my recommendation is that you find a balance among all the activities that demand your attention and allocate to SFI enough time to do (1) those basic tasks, (2) advertise for sponsoring and sales, and (3) learn skills to boost your knowledge to help you be more efficient in building an online business. If you do that, you will start seeing results and very soon you will have the opportunity to allocate much more time to SFI

Qualifying as Bronze Team Leader (BTL) and maintaining that rank are parts of the first steps towards success with SFI. It is highly worthy to strive or this and beyond.

Success with SFI is based on activity that yields VersaPoints (VP) through sales/purchases and actions in various areas to build our businesses.Thus, both Sales/purchases and action VP (AVP) are parts of the requirements to qualify as Team Leaders.

In the first 30 days we join SFI, we have many opportunities to earn AVP while we go through the training. In fact we can earn over 1300 VP just by completing our training tasks and the daily activity of going through our red tabs on the "To-do-List". Furthermore, in our first 5 weeks with SFI, while we are going through the first rounds of the E365 contest, we can earn up to an additional 600 VP.

Hence, when we are brand new affiliates, there is no shortage of opportunities to earn AVP beyond this 1000 threshold.

Whoever takes their training seriously will be fully equipped for sponsoring affiliates, and referring E-Commerce Associates (ECAs). This is the most sustainable strategy for earning AVP and qualifying through the Team Leadership ranks

However, if you find yourself without any PSAs at the end of your training, you can still continue to qualify as BTL provided that you are regular with your daily activity, you take full advantage of all the possibilities to gain Tcredits and use them to earn AVP.

If you can set up a Standing Order (SO), use it to build your TCredits chest. Bid on Double MRP auctions. Use your MRPs to acquire more Tcredits so that you can maximize the amount of AVP you can earn. With the 100 VP bonus for your SO, the AVP you collect from the daily activity of the To-do-List (up to 16 per day), the full amount of VP from auctions (600) and Eager Zebra games (250). you have well over 1000 VP you are looking for.

Starting January 2016, additional team leadership qualification requirements will come into effect.

To qualify as BTL on January 31, 2016, we will need to directly sponsor at least one Executive Affiliate (EA). I am not even mentioning here the requirements for Silver Team Leader (STL), Gold Team Leader (GTL) and Platinum Team Leader (PTL), let alone Diamond Team Leader (DTL). But, we should keep those requirements in mind. We have, approximately, 45 days to work on meeting them.

To truly take full advantage of the great potential we have here with SFI, we should set our sight on mightier goals of successfully sponsoring actives PSAs and training them to duplicate our efforts. It is not an impossible task. It is being done. It is just a matter of determination and well directed action.

I am personally focusing on signing up new prospects, helping them upgrade to Gold Fast Track, guiding them through the E365 Contest, keeping them active and teaching them duplication so that they can build their own teams and find motivation to stay with SFI.

I view a2a as a central piece of the "Help Network" available within SFI, and the entire SFI as a family and a team.

If you help another affiliate, you also learn, grow as a mentor and a team member. Thus, it is much more positive and rewarding to approach a2a as a sharing, mutually supportive, and personal growth opportunity. As a result, your a2a friends should not be picked up from the standpoint of "what help you can get", but rather from your own willingness to provide help to others.

Before the changes in a2a, in my first year with SFI, I built over 2,000 a2a connections. It was a great support network with affiliates across continents and seniority within SFI. I made it a priority to have as many a2a friends from my E365 class as I could. We helped each other. We supported one another. We grew as affiliates, together.

The changes brought to a2a were justified, as I learned afterwards, because some were abusing it. Now, it is safer. We all are benefiting from the current a2a.

The 10 a2a friends, we may have now, are those with whom we can initiate contact. However, we can still accept 'friendship requests" from as many other affiliates as we get. As they are not on the 10 list we picked, we cannot initiate contact with them, but they can take the initiative to contact us with their questions for any advice they see beneficial to seek. Thus, we have the possibility to provide them with our support, our mentoring and our help. By doing so, not only are we useful to others, we also benefit, learn and grow because of our openness to provide unselfish assistance SFI family members. .

This approach to a2a changes the dynamic of your question. It is not about "from whom I can get help". It is about "who I can help".

When we put the a2a network back within the entire SFI Help mechanism, we have a comprehensive , effective and very useful support system. We can follow any of Forum members. We have knowledgeable answers from the Ask SC questions. We have our upline that is mentoring us. And finally, we have Technical Support.

These are the reasons why I took a passive approach in picking up my 10 a2a friends. I did not go asking "with whom I can be friend". I picked them from those who contacted me, wanting to be my friends. We all have noticed that when we get an a2a friend request, we have the options to "accept and add" to our friends list or just to "accept" , or simply to reject. I choose to accept any request I get. I feel honored if an affiliate asks to be my friend. I accept their request and give them the opportunity to contact me if they choose to do so. Within this process, I have replaced only two of my 10 a2a because they were no longer active with SFI. That is the only reason why I make modifications on my list.

In the Forum, we may choose to follow any member who posts accurate information about SFI, gives valuable, practical tips that help us grow our business, as well as those who are great motivators and mentors.

I have found this to be very effective and very rewarding in building my list of 10 a2a friends and keeping myself abreast of the dynamics of Ask SC and the Forum.

May I draw your attention on the bold writings at the top to this "Ask SC" page?

It says: "Grow your income by growing your knowledge!"
I am tempted to top right here. Truly!

What is our aim when we build strategies for SFI? Isn't it to be successful by growing our income? The answer is obviously "Yes".

Hence, the best, most effective strategies we should use should be based on sound knowledge acquisition and effective application of that knowledge.

Further, that is exactly what SFI is recommending to every affiliate who starts here.

A strategy is a set of principles and actions combined towards a defined objective. SFI's training of starters is precisely that combination with the goal of building a business and an team to reach financial success and wealth. If we successfully follow this strategy, in the long run, we will reach our goals in terms of income levels and a very comfortable semi-retirement.

For example, a Diamond Team Leader (DTL) who has built a business made up of numerous E-Commerce Associates (ECAs) and Personally referred members (MRPs), coupled with a 12 generation team of other DTLs, will have reached a level of success and income that will require little effort from him to maintain. I am giving this example as the ultimate goal: We need to know our destination to get there. If we do not know where we are going, we will never arrive at destination..

As much as an affiliate can, as soon as they join, they should take up the invitation extended to them, follow the outlined step-by-step approach to building an SFI business: watch the introductory video, lean the basics, work on the activity laid out in the "To-do-List and the VP Ledger,and complete the Launchpad series within their first 30 days.

While going through this process, they will educate themselves on the importance of being a Fast Track affiliate, the benefits of the "New Member Pack -NMP", the value of having a standing order (SO). They will also learn the SFI Compensation Plan, and the 6 Step Plan for building a successful Team {(i) Reaching EA status, (ii) Ranking Bronze Team Leader, (iii) Silver Team Leader, (iv) Gold Team Leader, (v) Platinum Team Leader, and (vi) Diamond Team Leader.

If the new affiliate applies this knowledge in the most effective way, he/she will be following a sound strategy. The affiliate will have the most sound and up-to-date knowledge of what works and what does not work in today's world of internet marketing.

Most importantly, they will start seeing results in their business. They will start making progress in building their teams, and advancing in ranks within SFI.

I am fully convinced you will not find a better, more effective strategy than this.
