This is one basic, real problem. For overzealous sellers/agents this is also a basic procedure. But since I don't believe in the idea of overselling myself what I do is to tell them the real perspective of how the company exists. I first tell them of the structure - when it was started - emphasizing on its longevity; the volume of the members tell now emphasizing that the company lures a lot of people thus it must be good; the nature of the membership( international) therefore more people are in it; and it's being BBB accredited therefore the company has a good reputation, businesswise and entity-wise as per American standard. Then comes the benefits and privileges - incomes - Leverage and Residual; being able to participate in biddings where you can buy almost anything at giveaway prices; buying stuff from all over the worl; being able to sell unwanted stuff you have online; connecting your own or your friends online store to the company so it could be seen and bought in the international market; and last but not the least, building your own business in the process.
From the above rationale, I think anybody in his right frame of mind would refuse the offer. And it's not an "oversell". Just plain honesty in telling what the business is all about.

How Do You Keep Your Affiliates Motivated When They Don't Make Money in Their First Month?

People are first attracted to the business because of the income factor. From my experience here in the SFI business, this is what I noticed. The younger generations, normally, want a fast buck. So I gave them 2 weeks or more of online communication. If they stick then that's a sign that they want to go farther. The older group has more tenacity as far as being in the business longer is concerned. So you know that those who stayed are "into it". I usually engaged them in heart-to-heart talks, like consider me as "a sister whom you can talk freely" on any topics, for that matter. From there I always emphasize that you can only "harvest if you plant". And in this business we just need to plant a few months and you can harvest. Meaning, go on seriously with the monthly requirements of the business and you're set. Most older folks would tell you that in order to survive you have to work. It's the same here. Only the work is online and like any other job, you just have to give it time. And the strategies used are like any other business and that support is always available. That there are people ahead of you in the business who are also supporting you as a newbie. That in this business you're never left alone if you think help is needed. And there are a lot of information waiting for you online. Just click the mouse and you're into it. What you just need is your time. An hour or two or three a day would take you a long way. And I always tell them that in three months, though it was a small amount, I already had my first harvest. Some did it earlier than three months. It really depends on how fast you move. And don't let negative thoughts get in your way. Stay positive always.

Do you need to have your own website (if so, why) or are the Gateway websites provided by SFI adequate?

In my case, I'm just using the SFl gateways. So far, so good. The thing is when it comes to sales it's a combination of luck and industriousness that's really necessary.
1.Are you putting in enough time into the business? - Don't just come as you wish. This is a day-to-day activity, remember? Do follow-ups twice, thrice or more for each target clientele.
2.Are you getting the right targets for the right items? -Don't sell more of those elecronic items to the oldies who are more into the reading and crocheting activities? In other words you should be into the right demographics each time you advertise a product?
3.Are you following your targets daily? -Some people just don't see the importance of a gadget or an item the first time around. You need to reintroduce it to them twice, thrice and sometimes even more before they realize the need.;
4. Are you penetrating more clientele than ever? -Since the internet world is a vast expanse of clients, I think more targets are still available and untouched. It's really up to us to really penetrate this big bubble.
Website or Gateways? It all depends on how you do it and how dedicated you are with the business.

Now that I have acquired Bronze Team Leader status with 3,000 VP, how can I maintain my monthly 3,000 VP and BTL status?

1.Just do the following free moves:
Maintain or have your Standing Order in place always. That's 1500 VPs.
Do the "To Do list" = 330 VPs per month for a 30 day- month, or 341 VPs for a 31-day month
Send Group support messages 120 VPs per month.
Give Stream posts equals 12 VPs per month @ 3 posts per week.
Rate your Sponsor equals 10VPs per month.
If you support a PSA, you'll get 100, 150,200, 250, or 300 VPS in becoming EA, BTL, STL, GTL or PTL accordingly. This of course will happen as soon as you've gathered enough PSAs.
Some SFI Basics pages also will give you points. Better go through them so you gather more VPs.
2. Now you can add whatever VPs you need through purchase. Remember though that as stated only 2000 VPs from purchases are counted towards the Team Leader position.
From my experience, I preferred buying TCredits(TC)s because you Earn VPs upon purchase. Then if you use this to Bid you'll Earn VPs too, a TC per Bid is equal to a VP. On top of that, 1 Bid is equal to 5 Member Rewards Points(MRP)s. In the process you gather MRPs which can be used to purchase items from TripleClicks, just like using it as money. So what you use to Bid comes back to you but the equivalence is smaller. Just think that you've already thrown it away when you bid but it still can be helpful in a way.
3. Sell TripleClicks items and you're on your way to lots of VPs.
Following those steps will assure you of your BTL position. Good luck!

What is the most important daily activity that SFI Team Leaders should engage in?
The most important daily activity that Team Leaders should engage in is Duplication. That is making your Movers move continuously-reaching out to them most times, answering question, giving encouragements, teaching/jguiding them in the SFI Basics, advertising, and being good online so the duplication process would roll in more members. Thus more members mean more income to the TL and of course, more SFI business for one and all.

Depends on what you can afford. If your pocket is deep enough, I think going full blast would be good and see from there what comes out. I feel like a good size team would be set up that way. Good for you! But if you are barely subsisting on a meager budget, I think getting into free sites is the only way. Of course going into cheaper ad sites would be good too. Good luck one and all!

What is it that makes SFI unique and such a successful global company?
Looks like it's one of the those pyramid scheme or a networking business but it's not. It's just a simple combination of those techniques but not exactly any of those. Because there are a lot of other processes involve.
As you go through the business lessons with the Basics and the Lauchpad you know that it's more than that. The scope it covers is awesome no internet company could compare.
As you would realize the size of the business with the daily enrollees, you know it's more than that. From the 24 hour daily Forum and encounter of the active members from all over the world you know it's bigger than big. It will blow you away. Check it out!
As you go through the daily activities you're doing your share in the business for it to thrive. As often emphasized here, your success depends on you. On how you follow instructions and do your work as required. You can go as high as you want. It's you who can pull yourself up without limit. You're always reminded that we need to work here and the get-rich-quick scheme isn't found here. This is an honest-to-goodness work system for everybody who's desiring to succeed in life through hard work. Good work, good pay as they say.
At SFI you feel the sense of oneness. Meaning being there to work together as one, for everybody. There is the feeling of helping each other. Of being there and being united in a group of progressive workers. In this business there is that sense of cooperation. That's why the coop exists. You feel the sense of oneness and working together as one. There's that feeling of helping together because you feel that the business' success is everybody's responsibility. Holding conferences and other fora also show another form of cooperation. It is such that we try to help each other in whatever form available so nobody gets stucked up in a problem alone. Just visit the Forum daily and you'll see how that helps.
Finally, here in the US when we go into business with a group, big or small, we always check it out with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and SFI pass with the flying colors. We should be happy to be here in SFI! May we continue to be this successful for as long as we live!!!

Prestige Domains like the other domains should be used fully in the advertising of our SFI business. It would work best if you devote your time scouring the different advertising websites and post that domain everywhere and anywhere you meet those sites. Like what SFI told us, a domain appears more legit than the simple URL. You don't memorize or paste a lot of numbers or symbols. It looks more professional too because of the way it's named. Meaning the names are real not symbols or numbers, i.e. aostewart2.profitsonline.com which is one of the 5 Prestige Domains I won. This domains that I have are all connected to Triple Clicks which is the heart of the SFI business. Naturally it directs the customers or future affiliates to ECAs, Auctions, Products and the like. Therefore it is very helpful to have one and productive if you use it.

What kind of rewards have proven to be the most effective for you for getting inactive affiliates active?

To me the best is giving away TCredits. It is a good incentive because once they start to use it for buying, they'll be gaining VPs right away. If they go into Bidding they would gain more because each TC is equivalent to 5 MRPs. In the process it's like hitting two birds with one stone because they can also use those MRPs to buy other stuff from TripleClicks, like TCs too. This is like a win-win process. The affiliate gets to learn the very aspect of the TripleClicks business in itself and can very well articulate the strategy with the downlines. Let's be realistic about things. Here in this business, the more members buy the better for everybody. Make know mistake though, it's not all buying here. There's more to it than that as we all know.
