Remind him/her that they are starting a business from scratch, from zero and that only hard work, persistence, and a never quit attitude will be needed to succeed. SFI is not a scam or a get-rich-quick scheme, it is a real business and all the tools necessary for success have been given to them for free. Use these tools and you and others in their upline will help them make success happen, but like any other startup business, you have to invest in yourself to eventually succeed. Most every business in the universe takes time and an investment or re-investment of money to finally start making a profit. In SFI, only those who quit do not eventually succeed. Tell them to Aim High, Dream Big! Good Luck!

How can I win one of the new Micro auctions?

"How can you win one of the new Micro auctions?" Well, first you must bid. Look at the history and set a price of the auction you are willing to bid up to. Do not overbid your maximum price. Do not bid if you see 3 or 4 bidders competing, watch until it appears that only one or two are left and then submit your bids unless it goes beyond your maximum price. Now, saying all that there are no guaranties that you will ever win, there are no magic formulas but I can guaranty that you can only win if you play! Aim High, Dream Big!

What are the top selling points of SFI that should be highlighted to any potential prospect?

I think the most important "selling point" that interested me was that SFI is a real business and not a scam or "get-rich-quick" scheme that took advantage of unsuspecting individuals trying to better themselves. A business that can start with just an investment of your time and hard, dedicated, and persistent work. You can choose to invest or reinvest funds only if you want your business to grow faster. I hope this helps. Aim High, Dream Big!
When should I start buying PSAs?

New affiliates should start buying PSAs as soon as they can. Why? Because "Duplication" is the key for long lasting residual income. Other reasons include:
1) Getting comfortable communicating with people from all over the world.
2) Learning more and more about SFI and Tripleclicks while building your team.
3) Understanding that 1 out of every 20 PSAs might become active.
But let me say that buying PSAs is only one way of building your team, you should be meeting everyone in your neighborhood and sharing the SFI opportunity and you should also spend time advertising on the hundreds of free sites like bulletin boards and free web locations.

Don't try to re-invent the wheel! Your website or blog must be able to generate traffic. Create a website or blog that will project a passion that is inside of you.

What are some ideas for marketing SFI at a job fair or free-standing kiosk in a business area?

I think the most important thing in this type of marketing is "Be Prepared". What I mean is you better be able to answer any question that is thrown at you. Be prepared to have a multiple person audience and be confident in "pitching" the positives of SFI and Tripleclicks. Make sure you have an endless supply of brochures for those that are just walking by. A great feature would be a video endlessly streaming that those that stand back can just watch and listen to.
But saying all this, the most important thing is "Be Prepared" because you will turn people away if you can not "sell" them on the opportunity.

"What is the best payment option for a Standing Order for an affiliate who does not have a credit card?" I believe Paypal is available to most people in many countries and I find it to be the best method for not only paying for my standing orders but for collecting my sales receipt and commissions. I hope this helps. Aim High, Dream Big!
I'm an EA2. What should my next objective be and how should I fulfill it?

Your first objective should be to make sure you are doing what is necessary to maintain your EA2 status. Your team will continue to grow and you can work towards becoming a team leader but maintaining EA2 is a very important next objective. Ladders should be taken one rung at a time or you might fall so you can Aim High and Dream Big but do not lose sight of each objective.
How can you keep your downline from quitting and giving up on SFI?
Andrew Cardinale, SB (Maine, US)
10/12/2013 6:33 am
Affiliate since: 03/19/2011, Power Rank: 42
You can't. If a person on your downline wants to quit or give up, let them and concentrate your efforts on the affiliates that have not made that decision, but are looking for a path to success. The worst thing you can do is try to delay the inevitable, especially by trying to "buy" their way to success by giving them gifts such as TCredits or Gift Certificates. Give these as rewards to the affiliates that are not going to quit or give up but are going to chase their dreams!
What's a great welcome gift for new PSAs and CSAs?

A great welcome gift for new PSAs and CSAs is a promise of your time and knowledge. Then you must keep your promise. Do not try to "buy" their continued involvement, you will lose. Only reward them with T-Credits, Gift Certificates, and with PSAs, reassignments after they show they are willing to work. Good luck!
