Content writing is important.

It is a good idea to focus on writing about the themes you see occuring when you read posts in the SFI Forum, Stream Posts, or even the type of requests that you receive from downline members.

There is so much to share so try to promote current issues for on-line business owners and you will see your readership numbers increase.

Preparation, preparation and more preparation!

Preparation is key to effective recruitment. As the late Ji. Rohm has been quoted do say, "failing to plan/prepare is planning/preparing for failure".

Everyone can be his or her best when preparation is done. As stated in many business books, the 80/20 rule applies to even recruitment.

Consider first what you home to achieve with your recruitment efforts: more PSA's, more CSA's, more PRM's, more ECA sign-UPS, a wide spread customer base ...the choices are endless.

Once your end goal has been determined, go to the beginning and consider what strategies will get you to achieve your end goals or close to them. Once you've identified the strategies then it's time to write your business plans...yes plans.

Your recruitment efforts are best to be diversified as one scripted response may not resonate with people so you have to keep on trying with a planned approach B, C, D and so forth. Never give up as every effort is simply your preparation for the REAL deal.

So do more by being more to a wide range of potential recruits - young, old, married, single, business professionals, professional students, business owners, unemployed, post secondary educated, street smarts educated and so forth.

Have fun and don't do less but more when you prepare as you'll be ready for anything that comes your way - that's being effective!

SFI is not only about on-line business presence but is also about off-line (in person) business too.

SFI is a universal program and is not locked into only being accessible via on-line. SFI is a collaborative business built on the joined effort of all affiliates.

It would be important for such affiliates to connect with local businesses who are part of the ECA program or even connect with affiliates who live locally so that he or she can participate in recruitment or SFI discussions with others in their own community, City or even country.

It is human nature to excel when we are part of a group that we can identify with - so encouraging or creating local connections with others will be of importance for affiliates who may not have access nor able to afford technology to be on-line on a regular basis.

Also be sure to share the marketing and promotional strategies that SFI has developed for us which require direct mail, face to face meetings, or distribution of postcards and flyers...even the use of SFI clothing items can be used - all of which do not require web presence.

Everyone has something to offer to help SFI grow - be it online or off-line.

It is important that families embrace tour entrepreneur efforts. It does not need be specific to SFI.
Being a business owner, no matter what it is, is a life style choice so it needs to have the support of your immediate family as it does impact how the family lives.

If the family does not support entrepreneurship efforts, then it is important to ask family.embers their reasons for not supporting it. Remember your business practices or only impact how you serve customers but ask how it i.pacts the family too.

Several business owners state the same statement...If home front is not settled the it does not matter how good the business is running as family is who surrounds me with support unconditionally.

Customers will support your entrepreneurial efforts due to the simple fact there is a financial transaction between you, family is not there due to buying some ser ice or product from you so it is important to have family support and understand what it means to you to pursue an entrepreneurial life style.

I repeat that it is not necessarily about SFI but the lack of understanding of what an entrepreneur pursuit means not o ly for you it the benefits you are working toward. It important to ask what they are concerned with or reason to not support your interest in owning your own company.

It is an affiliate's responsibility to his or her family to be transparent and clear what being an entrepreneur means to him or her and how the affiliate is going to balance work and home life so that family is not a second or third priority but continues to be valued as much as before.

Face to face communication is difficult but can be learned and done very well.

A great way to get ideas is to review postings on the Forum Post, read posts on your Stream Tab and even look at advanced training tools that SFI has to offer.

To become a great communicator, it is good to practice. In order to practice it is a good to prepare what you want to tell others.

Remember the best way to communicate is not to just focus on the "what" on SFI but the "why to join" SFI." There is a difference so the more you practice your communication skills on "why people should join SFI." the better you will be.

Action VersaPoints are best to be earned each day little by little as this is how by the end of the month an affiliate can achieve on-going success.

It is encouraged through SFI to start a Standing Order as soon as possible to generate a minimum of 1500 Versa Points each month to sustain an affiliate profile to be minimally an EA2 - this is a good strategy for any affiliate - new or experienced with SFI,

There are action tasks identified in an Affiliate's To-Do List Tab - have down line members consider what they believe they can do each day - have them focus on a minimum of 10 tasks to complete on their To-Do List - this will have them earn Versa Points each day as well as have an earned extra entry for the Daily Grand Prizes. Daily earned Versa Points of a minimum of 10 will have affiliates earn various badges which will be displayed with their profile for others to see...added benefit to earning Versa Points.

The above is simply 2 strategies to share with down line team members - as a minimum to complete for each month he/she is with SFI.

Now, it is also important to encourage affiliate members to consistently perform 1 additional task each month which will earn them Versa Points meanwhile will grow their business. Discuss with them the various ideas that are shared through SFI training modules such as Launch Pad Lessons or even other marketing strategies which can earn them additional Versa Points such as but not limited to the following ideas:

Distribution of TripleClicks Gift Cards - one card (electronic or hard copy) can earn the affiliate 10 versa points as per the program structure outline by SFI,

ASK SC - encourage affiliates to add their own answers to questions that are submitted into ASK SC so that they can earn on a regular basis VersaPoints every month; each answer submitted can earn a 1 place, 2nd place or 3 rd place rating which then earns VersaPoints,

Eager Zebra Games - this can earn affiliates up to an additional 50 VersaPoints each month. Affiliates who purchase T-credits as part of their Standing Order can then use the T-Credits to play games. All Games that are offered provides an opportunity to win extra goodies such as T-Credits, Versa Points or even credits to continue playing games.

PriceBender Bidding - is another way to earn Versa Points with the use of T-Credits. Personally I enjoy playing the bidding war against others for products that I hope to win (deals are great by the way) and each bid earns me 1 Versa Point along with MRP's - this definitely has a lot of benefit for the affiliate.

The most important thing to remember is to consider what the affiliate believes he or she is capable of managing in order to earn their Versa Points. The easier the means to earn the Versa Points then the more likely the affiliate will consistently perform the tasks to earn their points.

There are also other ways to earn points - all of which are structured through the To-Do list so be sure to demonstrate how the To-Do list helps to organize not only daily tasks but also weekly and monthly. All tasks listed on the To-Do list guides all affiliates to earn VersaPoints on a consistent basis.
