This is how I see it, Vehbi, DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF!

As difficult and frustrating as it can be, limiting yourself to only English-speaking affiliates is not the way to go. Reality is what it is. You are a Global Marketing Affiliate, and as such, part of YOUR education will be to make the proper adjustments necessary to make your business run more smoothly.

I agree with some of the other responses. However, let me add that YOU should make it a priority of informing all of your non, or very limited English-speaking downline members, understand they can use the TRANSLATORS that are at the bottom of every page here at SFI and TripleClicks.

Remember, it's your business, so you must seize full control.

To your SUCCESS!

Andjela, it would be a wonderful thing if your "family embraced your SFI business" in the same way as you do. Unfortunately, however, such is normally not the case. Most people, and this would likewise include most family members, are interested in more "immediate gratification", the kind received from regular-paying jobs.

You on the other hand, must find the strength to move on despite the opposition you may receive from family members. You must not allow their negativity to influence your decision to think "outside-the-box" of their conventional thinking. Perhaps in time, as you become more successful by each passing day, their attitudes will change, and they will become more receptive to what you do.

Until then, Andjela, continue on towards your QUEST for SUCCESS with SFI!

I hope this helps you.

Here's how I see it Andjela...

Prospecting within your own country and language breeds familiarity. For the beginner, the ones who are just starting out with SFI... those desiring to build a strong Downline (Team) early, I would recommend that you "prospect" within your area of FAMILIARITY! Friends, family, co-workers and people in your own country through select advertising and promotions.

In my opinion, and in the beginning, this should be your PRIMARY focus. However, at some point, and depending upon how successful you desire to be, which I'm sure you want to be highly successful, you will have to consider "PROSPECTING" on a WORLDWIDE basis. This is MORE-likely way for you to build a STRONG 5-figure and/or 6-figure annual income over time.

I hope I've been of some help to you, Andjela.

Actually, Maja, it was my previous encounters with online marketing that "made me realize that SFI [was] and is the real deal."

You see, when I first got into network marketing back in 1996, there were literally thousands of 'so-called' get rich opportunities from which to choose. By the year 2009, which was the same year I joined SFI, I had lost so much money and time spent on them that I nearly QUIT online marketing altogether! SFI proved to me that would have been a mistake. Not only did it cost me anything to join the program, the way SFI is put together, you really can earn a living without investing a dime of your own money. Of course I do invest some money but the major points to me are, I don't have to if I don't want to.. and just as important (or even more important) I'm not FORCED to!

SFI doesn't stand still.. they are constantly evolving and making it more and more exciting to be a part of their overall success. There's nothing like SFI.. anywhere! I'm glad I didn't QUIT prior to joining. Boy oh boy, what a MISTAKE that would have been!

Hello Faranak,

When you think about it, the only way one can receive (Sales) VP is by purchasing from TripleClicks. Whether for starting a SO (Standing Order), or buying TCredits to participate in Eager Zebra games, purchasing products from TripleClicks is the easiest way to reach higher levels within SFI.

Also, you can explain to them how Transfer Buying (personally buying from TripleClicks instead of their regular stores) can actually save them time and money, while at the same time, helping them to increase both their (Sales) VP and (Action) VP at the same time, not to mention the fact that it will also help them achieve higher status (i. e. EA, TL, etc.).

Hello Zoran,

Personally, I prefer to use manual bidding, but I have used the auto-bidder. In fact, the one time I used the auto-bidder, I started off with more than 300 TCredits. I had to end up buying more, and still lost the bid.

There are just too many variables to depend solely on auto-bidding. (1) Time of the auction; (2) Value and significance of the product you are bidding on; (3) How many people are participating in the auction at the time; and, of course, (4) The amount of TCredits you are playing with. You'll need a lot!

Depending on the product being bid on, the number of people participating in the auction, the time of day and amount of TCredits you have, it may benefit you greatly to use the auto-bidder more so than manual bidding. My suggestion is, if you use the auto-bidder, you should have many TCredits on hand.

Hope this answer helps.

First, and foremost, you must believe you can "build a successful SFI business!"

Inside everyone, such capability exists. We merely have to bring it out of us, and take all necessary actions in order to achieve success. Therefore, desire to succeed becomes your starting point. That same desire, along with focus, determination, and above all else, ACTION - will move you towards the "building of a successful SFI business!"

I hope my answer helps you in some way.

Hello again Waldemar,

Allow me to suggest that you concentrate on sponsoring affiliates. Every affiliate you sponsor automatically becomes a TripleClicks Member. But, as you concentrate on sponsoring affiliates, from time-to-time you should advertise/promote your TripleClicks store as an added incentive towards increasing your clientel and monthly commissions.

Affiliate since: 03/14/2009, Power Rank: 191

Hello Temitope Victoria,

To measure the success you've had with SFI, I believe you need only do the following:

1. Examine the monthly goals you've set for yourself. Then, ask yourself,

"Have I met my goals?" If not, you must be honest with yourself
in determining why you haven't. It could be because you're not
advertising/promoting enough, or in the right places. In such
cases, refer to your SFI Marketing & Training. They will
help to increase your knowledge on how to build your
monthly commissions through building a strong and
productive "DOWNLINE" Team, and through the TripleClicks
sales you and your team make.

2. Examine your work ethic, and that of your "DOWNLINE" Team. Then, ask yourself,

"Am I doing my part to build the best downline I can?" The answer to
this question also lies in your honesty, and in the daily production of
both you and your downline team. Through honesty you know, and if not,
more training (education) may be required. Your "LAUNCHPAD" Lessons
holds the answers.

I believe by doing these things, success will come. And then, your question:

"What are the best ways by which one can measure his/her success in SFI?", will be answered.

I hope this helps you Temitope!

Hello Maria,

Please keep in mind, everybody will not share the same visions you may have. On the surface, it may seem as if everyone should jump at the chance of being in business for themselves, but it just isn't that way at all. It's just not that simple!

The "Employee Mentality" is what we are most accustomed to having. After all, isn't that the more common teaching we receive growing up? Think about it. How common is it that we are encouraged to finish high school, go on to college, get a degree to find a good paying job? The plain truth is, we are groomed early on in our lives towards becoming "dependent" financially, not "independent" financially!

Truth is, the desire for independence must be in them already. If it is not, then it will be difficult, if not impossible, for you to remove the "Employee Mentality" from them.

Therefore, my suggestion to you is to give them what you know. Explain the concept of SFI/TripleClicks, and what it has done for you and what it can do for them. In your explanation, give them the key points such as free to join, length of time company has been in business, the success of SFI and it's global presence.

You'll also want to point out to them that despite it being free to join, there is a level of commitment to work that comes with the "free" marketing and training they receive and from time-to-time, they may have to invest relative small amounts of money to increase the level of success they hope to achieve.

Get the point I'm making? You must give them what's in your power to give them. They are the only ones who can turn their "Employee mentality...to a BUSINESS OWNER mentality." But you would have done your job!
