A great question.

My greatest challenge is communication and explanation. I am not good at talking face to face with people and find that with the powers of the internet, I am able to easily overcome this.

I draft heaps of letters in Word program and save them to my computer and adjust the wording, depending on what is asked of me. I utilize all of the business marketing aids and other ideas which are supplied free by SFI Management and take snippets out to incorporate

What would be a better goal and why? Sponsor hundreds of new PSAs every year or teach a smaller number of EAs to each develop EAs themselves?

Great question that I guess a lot of members want the answer to. If you sponsor hundreds of PSAs, you most probably will get a few workers who will go on to develop a great business. This take on business building will possibly cost quite a bit in advertising and purchase of the PSAs

On the other hand, if you only sponsor a smaller number of PSAs and expend your time to teach them to build a successful business, it may be a cheaper option in terms of advertising and purchase of

Is it worth it to keep sending supportive emails to PSAs and CSAs who have 0 VP and been inactive for weeks or months?

A most definite yes. The word here is support. Never give up on your team. Send your regular emails or team mails once weekly or fortnightly. Set out the important factors, discuss the latest SFI News and how it may affect them.

Don’t push your team members to purchase anything. Just discuss how you are going, what heights you have reached and don’t forget to include your Leadership Page link in all of your emails.

Quite a lot of people trawl the internet

Hello David,

I am not sure I know the least expensive way to build a personal website but I can give you my experience.

I have two websites - one is pointed to the TripleClicks main page. The other I have built myself from scratch and incorporating many SFI and TC banners as well as other banners.

The cost to get started was minimal. $44.04 plus $9.99 for Domain Privacy. Ongoing cost is $107.88 plus $10.99 for Domain Privacy. Breaking this down, the

Hello Mary, This is one instance which affects us all from time to time. The internet can be unreliable at times especially when we need it most.

This can also be the most fantastic opportunity for you as well.

Get your own website. You can build your website with some great learning pages. Send all your team members your website link and tell them that if and when they can’t access the SFI Affiliate Centre, that your website is available.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer this question.

What would I do differently? I would not place quite so much emphasis on earning VP.

Yes of course I would log in each day and earn the required VP to enter the Daily Grand.
I would also set up a SO and take advantage of the opportunities this produces.

My main emphasis would be advertising the TripleClicks store both for sales to customers and also for enrolling ECAs. This is
