Working hard to me means by the time I am done my work related duties with SFI I am drained and not feeling a high level of positive feelings at the end of my SFI related tasks.

Working Smart often has me feeling energized and thinking outside of the box that I am able to put in more time to my SFI business for that day.

There is a big difference - working smart means working with the resources that you have and using them in a resourceful way. There is never a thought of scarcity or limitation when you work SMART.

SMART may be for your business practice to leverage the skills of another down line member who is able to write memos or intro letters for packages in a few minutes where it may take you more than 30 minutes - swap or reciprocate your skills with another affiliate in a Skill-Knowledge-Pool.

There is no right or wrong way to work the SFI business but there is always a more effective way to work the business - it's the effectiveness that you want to measure as being either "Hard" or "SMART"

Another way to define is "Hard = Force" vs "Smart = Power". Anything that is forced typically will run for a short duration then break down. Anything that runs powerfully can run forever without breaking down.

I know how I want to perform!

Promotion is simply a fancy word for telling.

For any promotion to be successful, it requires people to tell other people about it.

When telling people, be sure you let them know what the benefits are for purchasing the NMP. Be sure to give as much information that he or she requires to understand the benefits - what the gain will be from making the purchase - use of T-Credits, MRP's, credits to use for games that SFI offers to all affiliates and even the added benefit when more than one package is purchased.

Sharing the news about NMP can be done on your blog, on your SFI Leadership page or even sending a post on your stream. You may wish to talk to people directly or even let people know by use of Twitter or other Social Media sites.

Promotion can take on so many different ways that you're sure to find a way to get the news out there about SFI and products it has to share with others around the world such as the NMP.

Here are few networking strategies that I have used to start engagement and connections with potential ECA's recruits:

Collect business cards where ever you go - I even get them from restaurants that are not part of a chain,

Leave brochure or small printed flyers at places that have postings for others to see such as at the Laundromat, doctor offices, business office waiting rooms and even in public places such as library or coffee shopped

Review postings of "Want Ads" or "Selling Ads" and document contact information of business owners who may have a unique product that can be distributed through TC

When contact information is collected then a follow up letter or memo with an ECA post card will be sent in the mail directly to the people who are mentioned on business cards or even on the Ads. Direct mail with a discrete message that is short and to the point highlighting 2 - 3 gains that the ECA recruit will have by joining your ECA team will be enough for them to consider using TripleClicks to expose their product line beyond their usual customer base.

This is defined through Wikipedia as:

"Drip Marketing is a communication strategy that sends, or "drips," a pre-written set of messages to customers or prospects over time".

"Drip marketing" strategy may be used with e-mail, social media or use of regular mail. This is simply having timed communication with those that are part of your distribution lists. Drip Marketing is also known as Auto responders.

I ,personally, do not use this in my SFI business as I wish to connect with people as a profile to profile matching rather than simply send out a form message or memo to people on my distribution list because of my marketing needs. I have used Auto-responders as a way to generate leads and then from that have taken the leads to connect with them personally and customized responses to them based on how he or she responds to the Auto-responder questionaire they took the time to respond to

Connecting with people and businesses is critical for the growth of our SFI businesses so if the use of Drip Marketing approach is preferred then be sure to consider all the information that is available through SFI about the use of such networking strategy so as not to be mis-interpreted as Spamming.

This is a strategy that you may want to use or not use. The choice is up to you but be sure that if you choose to use Drip Marketing that it does not have people think that SFI spams people as this will not attract new affiliates but push people away.

Happy Building!

Remind affiliates who have limited access to a computer that SFI can be a success without consistent use of the computer.

Consider the following ways that you may assist:

Provide flyers to those who may not be able to print them off but are able to post them in their respective communities,

Provide an "On Boarding" kit to affiliates which may include sample intro letters that they can reproduce to share with potential ECA program members,

Share ideas that can be used by affiliates which are "off line" marketing ideas such as using the Wave 3 program, X-cards, posters, ECA postcards etc

There are many ways to assist those who do not have access to a computer on a consistent basis - with SFI he/she will be able to benefit too.

There are no limits with SFI just possibilities.

A website from SFI enables each affiliate to have a presence on the internet. Use of your website may be used on business cards that you use so that people may see what products you highlight as well as to what kind of information you have available as a blogger.

The more presence your website has the more of a stronger brand that you present to others through on-line experiences.

It is important to not only focus on the items that are for sale through Triple Clicks nor focus on looking at getting prospects to join to help build your down line team.

Things are always attractive to others when we, current owners of SFI, know how SFI can help new affiliates - focus on sharing the benefits of SFI. This means making SFI attractive is reliant on our knowledge about SFI and knowing our recruits - especially their needs.

Consider your personal experience when looking for something to meet a need - how does it attract your attention and keep your attention that it moves you to purchase or join in. That "feeling" is what we want to do to make SFI attractive to new affiliates.

Be sure that what you promote with SFI is how helpful and beneficial SFI is not only for the new affiliate but his or her family too.

Important as a representative of SFI to appeal to the emotional focus of our new affiliates to keep them motivated and to give them a chance to see SFI as a way to achieving fulfillment.
