To make yourself the best SFI Affiliate possible you need to be available at all times. You need to answer questions promptly. If you don't know the answer to the question you are being asked, then you need to research and find the answer.

This actually serves two purposes. The person asking the question is able to get the required answer and you - the best SFI Affiliate - gets to find out the answer as well.
It is a form of learning for both parties.

Should I advise new PSAs to slow down and not qualify as Team Leaders so quickly?

No. In my opinion, you should never discourage your PSAs when they are determined to work. What I would do is explain in great detail to them, how the system works. You should send them comprehensive information on what happens when you do something.

For example, how you progress to EA, and then to EA2 and what the benefits are when you get there. Explain how you get to be a Team Leader and the benefits being a Team Leader brings to you.

It should then be up to the

Hello Abrahan,

I think you should communicate as often as you think is necessary. I always send a weekly Newsletter so I personally communicate at least once weekly. I include in it hints and tips which I think my Team will be able to use to progress. I also include some SFI News and some great Forum posts.

I have several Team Members who correspond with me fairly regularly and they ask questions on how to do something or other. This is great both for them and

I have planned a local get-together for A2A affiliates. Any suggestions on what to do at the meeting?

If this were me, then this is what I would do. I would print up some small leaflets and do a drop around my local area. I would also include my friends and family who perhaps live a little further away and give them a leaflet also.

The leaflet should be brief, to the point and intriguing so that your visitors want to come to your house to find out more.

Offer an afternoon tea with light refreshments. This in itself should encourage people to attend. Also offer

A lot of people who are very sceptical about online business, need a lot of convincing. As there are many fly by night companies who offer great things, it needs to be made known that SFI is not one of these companies.

First of all, I would give your affiliates details of how long SFI has been in business and the great things they have done in this time. These details can be found on the home page when you log in at the foot of the page by clicking on "About Us" There

What are the benefits of Pricebenders auctions that I can promote to prospects?

Pricebenders auctions are a great way to build your business. I would guess a lot of members do not realise this just how much the auctions can be of benefit to you.

Their first and only thought is to win the auction. Winning the auction is only one aspect of the auction.

Important facts are that when you purchase TCredits to bid in the auctions you receive the VP for the purchase. If you set up your TCredit purchase to become a Standing Order, then you

Is it better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about...or more lengthly, detailed information?

I think that both of these, given the right circumstances, works. The best way around this is when you send your introductory email to put it into simple point form with numbers and 2 or 3 sentences in each number. This is easy to follow.

You can then explain that after they have been members for a week, you will follow up with a more comprehensive email detailing each numbered section. Take each number and send one email per day with full details of the item at that number.

What's more important--the initial contact with a prospect or the follow-up, and why?

In my opinion, both are equally as important as each other.

The initial contact is very important and in this contact you should show how you are running you business, offer support and make the new signup feel welcome. Always have your photo uploaded which shows some professionalism

Show that you are human and not an automated service and that you are very approachable if any assistance is needed.

The follow up should reinforce all of this and offer simple suggestions.

Many people have never been in business before. Not in physical business nor online business. They do not understand the process of owning a business. Because of this, they do not see themselves in a position of Leadership.

You, as their leader, need to convey to your team members, just how you got to the position you are in now. Tell them a little about yourself. Explain you didn’t understand much when you started but that with the help of your upline, the Forum and

How do you become a great salesman or saleswoman?

To become a great salesperson, you need "the gift of the gab" which I haven't unfortunately. This means you need to be a good speaker, you need to be convincing in your sales pitch.

I am severely lacking in this regard and so need another way to overcome this.

One way is to go through your PRM list and issue a $5 gift certificate to as many as you can afford. Hopefully they will spend this money and perhaps add a bit of their own as well thus boosting your
