Hello Deniece,

What I "love about SFI" is having the FORESIGHT to create a program that not just makes me feel but actually believe that I'm in control. No weekly conference calls that can make a person feel as if he/she is working 'FOR' someone, rather than 'WITH' someone, but a program that enables everyone to learn and grow 'truly' at their own pace, without requirements attached - such as upfront costs, upgrades, "MANDATORY" monthly purchases, etc. etc. etc..

Hello, Magdalena!

Assuming that it is not you who is to blame for the "negative attitude" your Team now has, I suggest that you continue doing the following:

1. Lead by Example.

Don't ask your Team Members to do anything you aren't doing yourself. What you do shows up. If you want them to promote and sell more TripleClicks products.. then you should already be promoting and selling TripleClicks. If you want them to be a "Fast-Track'er" then you

Good Day, Marijana!

In this instance, MOTIVATION is the product of DESIRE and NEED!

Motivating affiliates "to become buyers at TripleClicks" .. takes a mastery beyond most of our capabilities. The reason is clear, in this instance at least, that the affiliate's DESIRE and/or NEED for whatever products are sold at TripleClicks.com is what will basically, and ultimately, motivate him or her to buy.. NORMALLY that is.

That being said, let's examine a couple

Hello, Betty!

Keeping in mind that SFI is always FREE.. meaning, literally, you are never required to purchase anything to maintain your Affiliateship with them.. you must also UNDERSTAND that building a thriving SFI business for yourself.. will require MUCH time and, possibly, financial investment on your part.

Remember, certain requirements have changed. Now, after obtaining the rank of EA, any further advancement in rank requires that you have at least 1 EA2 in your group.

Hello Zina,

In answer to your question, "How can you keep your downline from quitting and giving up on SFI?"

The answer is, YOU CAN'T!

The only thing you can do, is to understand what SFI can do for you, and pass it on to those in your downline. Remember, we are individuals, with individual personalities. Just as in many ways we are very much alike, so, too, are we in many ways different from one another.

People join SFI for varying reasons.

Question Asked by Biljana Nikolic


Hello Biljana,

The simple answer to your question is: Whenever you feel you are ready to start building your own Team of Downline Members.

In other words, Biljana, do you believe you've gained enough "BASIC" knowledge and understanding of how this program works, to begin building a workable Team for yourself? If you do, then I suggest you start, as you say "buying PSAs" right now!

After all, this,

Absolutely Emma, absolutely!

As a sponsor/Team Leader, one of your primary goals is to produce active and dedicated members to help build your team and, of course, your income. This can only be done by your constant communications with them. These communications provide assistance to them, and will consist of your pointing them in the right direction from time to time.

Stay on course, Emma, and provide them with what they need ...

Hello Zoran,

The answer to your question is YES, absolutely!

To accomplish "creating success without investment of your own money" requires a 'stead-fast' approach to advertising and promoting both online and offline, while at the same time not forgetting the importance of logging on daily and taking advantage of all the many perks that are available to help us succeed. Like generating at least 10 VersaPoints (VP) each day, qualifying us to enter the Daily Grand Drawing.

This is easy - You must advertise and promote and then advertise and promote some more!

Advertise and promote SFI in developing for yourself a strong Team of like-minded people. Teach them to duplicate your efforts.

Advertise and promote TripleClicks to develop a strong PRM Base for greater, ongoing commissions on a monthly basis.

Advertise and promote both SFI and TripleClicks to get maximum benefit for your efforts, and as you build your Team of "Like-Minded"
