I use both, Individual and Team Mail.

The new e-cards, are very effective, as an eye-catcher. I use the "Welcome e-cards" for each individual, with a short welcome message, and advising them to read team mail, for
advise in how to start and make their first 500 VP

I also follow with other e-cards, if they make 500 VP, in first 24 hours, or attain EA
as well as contacting affiliates that "do not move"

As per Team mail, I send them a series of mails, with tips in various Launchpad, and other links, to SFI and TripleClicks.

I find a combination of this two methods, works very well for me

If I had $100.00 to spend to maximize my SFI business I would

1 Have a SO for S-Builder $22.00( I would start to get affiliates, and so start my duplication)

2 Have a SO for 125 PKT TCredits $36.25 ( 1500 VP , plus 100 VP for SO)With this I can
reward my "working" affiliates, bid in auctions for PSA's or CSA's to help build my
business

3 Have a SO for IAHBE $29.95 (1500 VP, plus 100 VP for SO)This is very good for new or
older affiliates, you can spend hours just browsing. Another advantage is you can
advertise IAHBE to offline business, and so get a commission for each package you sell

4 Get a package for around $10.00 from ECA's to get target advertising to your website or blog

5 Alternately you can skip IAHBE, and use that money to go for paid advertising, either
from an ECA or your own paid advertisding

This are some of the ways I would use my $100.00

Hope this is helpful

I think if you are honest from the word "go" and tell all your prospectives affiliates that no one is going to get "Rich overnight", but anyone can make a good income with a little work, and a lot of patience, "Rome was not built in a day", does apply very aptly to SFI.

Teach all prospects that they have free tools: Yourself as the sponsor, Ask SC, Forum, a2a friends, a very good Internet course, a free website, a good Store, where they can sell either their own products, or any of the over 100,000 products already available.

Also teach your prospects how to use the ready made calculator, and give them different scenarious to work with.

Any one that is serious about making a residual income, or using SFI as the primary income, has all the tools available to do so, after all, everyone works 8 hours or more,
to try and earn a living, so if you can get people to understand, that working maybe 3 to 4 hours a day, from anywhere in the world, at whatever time is convenient for them, this will get them interested

Organizing a competition, can motivate you affiliates, to really get interested.
I run different competitions, for all generations including CSA's, and anyone that meets the requirements can win TCredits; Gift Vouchers and PSA's from 1 up to 50 PSA's

Competitions can be for fast Track; reaching 1500 VP; starting to recruit, and so much more, it really is up to you, how you organize you competitions, and to whom

I do advise however, from my own experience, that sending PSA's should be done only when your affiliates have been 3 months or more working consistently, and maintaining at least EA rank

Have a wonderful day, and hope this is helpful

I give all my team members a GC if they make 500 VP, in 24 hours. I also reward the ones who make EA with a few TCredits, and If they make BTL the first 2 get a GC as well.

I find this helps and motivates the ones that really want to work, and you always find the odd one, that just wants a free ride, but most of the time it works.

So I would say, if you can afford, to give some form of incentive, to a well deserve affiliate do so, but let your team know, it only goes to "workers", like Gery himself says "work with the workers".

When new members join SFI, the first steps should be to do all the Actions in Getting-Started that have a plane next to them, as this actions will ensure that:

They have confirmed their registration, have whilisted SFI e-mail, send a commitment mail to you as the sponsor, fill in their affiliate profile, and uploading their photo.

Confirming registration and whitelisting SFI, will ensure the person is serious, as well as you have a good e-mail address to contact the new member

Filling the affiliate profile, will give an idea of why a person joined SFI, as well as what knowledge if any they have with Internet Marketing, as well as what finances are available, if any, so you as the sponsor, can work out a program to each individual

I always tell my new affiliates, to do the first 3 to 5 Launchpad lessons, and than 1 per day, after that, and most important to follow any links on Launchpad lessons

They should also do the Daily Actions, and read the Compensation Plan and Benefits Chart, so they can have an idea of how SFI / TripleClicks works

All of the above should be done within 24 hours of joining, and than each new member should spend at least 1 hour per day, doing the Daily actions, some of the Intermediate and Getting-Started Actions, as well as spending time in the FORUM, and start to do ASK SC.

I have deliberately highlighted ASK SC, as most new members will not do it, from the Daily Actions tab, either because they do not know how to or think it is too much to do for 1 VP, and I always tell new members that this is one of the easier ways of learning about SFI

As a new member, every one should be told that their first month is a learning curve, and not to expect to start earning big commissions, as you have to learn how to crawl, before walking, and walking before running

I am going to reply to your question using my own experiences

First I always look at new Affiliates Profile information, if they have done it, this will give me an idea if the affiliate is good at Internet Marketing, what the expectations are upon joining SFI, and more

Second step, is to see if this new member has started to recruit already, from my experience if you get new affiliates and they start recruiting within the first week, even before they reach EA, this is someone you want to help reach the top, and so encourage this person as much as you can, with advise, a small gift, praise him / her, in your Stream Tab, Forum and help them to FLY

If on the other hand I see an affiliate, just doing all the LAUNCHPAD lessons, and any other Action that catches they fancy, but ignore the DAILY Actions, I will send a reminder that SFI, is a real business, and therefore just clicking to get to Team Leader, without the Knowledge, or a team, he/she is not going to succeed, as they are missing the most basic training offered by SFI

I also have had instances where the affiliate is the one asking me, if it is worth going to Team leader, and most of the time I will tell them to maintain EA, or, if they have reach BTL, and have means of maintaining a SO, I will advise them how to maintain and keep to BTL

SO to summarize, keep tabs of your " movers" and advise than accordling

I think many affiliates join because it is free to join, and it is easy to just click and get VP by just clicking.

Many will do all the Launchpad lessons in one to 2 days, just for the VP, and not follow through with all the links
in the various lessons, so they loose the basic learning in how to work SFI/ TripleClicks

majority of the people who join think they will become rich overnight, and when it dawns in them, that they have
to do at least an hour's work every day, and most important some READING, they give up

Some will ask in their first 48 hours : " how much can I make per month? " " When do I get paid? "

This people will either stop working or leave the program, once you tell them this is a real business, and not
a " get rich quick scheme" you have to work like you do any other job

Others may not have the mind set to become their own bosses

I think you as the sponsor can guide any new affiliate, but ultimately that person is the one who has to want
to do something for himself / herself

I think this are the major factors in people joining and becoming innactive

I have all 3, but prefer the SBuilder and TCredits. Both of this I use to reward my hard working affiliates when certain targets are met. For example you can send 2 TCredits if an affiliate meets the fast track badge, or give one share of SBuilder, to an affiliate that has meets the 1500 VP within a month, and has proved that he/ she is keen to work

Hope this helps, see you at the top

I always tell my new affiliates to make it a point of using the Forum, regularly as it is like an encyclopedia
you can get answers to virtually any question you can think of, as well as the lighter side of " just for fun"

It does not matter if your query is about VP's or Pricebenders or games, you will find the answers there, not to
mention you read about all the different views of members from different parts of the world.

You can find solutions to a particular problem, related to your country,for example

You also have the recognition section, inspiration / testimonials, and so much more

You can reply to posts, and have air your views, as long as it is within the rules of the Forum

If you are a team leader, you have your own section, where you can discuss issues with your fellow team leaders

SO as you can see from the above it is very important to check your Forum.
