Organise to have regular monthly meetings in your area. Put an ad in the local paper and distribute some flyers advertising the date and time of your meeting. Provide the address and your name and phone number.

Advise that this will be a regular monthly get together to help members get set up in their own business. Most importantly tell them that it is totally free and no-one is under any obligation.

Set up your garage with some tables and chairs. Organise to have some posters, flyers and business cards available on the day.

If possible, request anyone attending bring along their laptop so you can demonstrate just how things work. They can then make up their own mind and have another look at it when they get home. They may even join up there and then.

When your meeting is over and everyone is fairly clear on how to operate this great business, make a date for the next meeting to follow up and provide help where it is needed. Continue your newspaper advertisement for more new members each month.

This is an ideal situation to hand out some $12 Gift Cards and for anyone who actually joins on the night, provide them with a Gift Certificate to get started.

A great question and probably one which a lot of us ask ourselves. Here is what I do.

In the first instance I go through my house and sell anything that I think might be interesting to my prospective customers and which I have not used for some time and obviously no longer need it myself. The item need not be new but must be in good condition. I then check the new price and divide it by at least 4. This is the price I will then advertise it for. If it is listed for say one month and hasn't sold, then I will discount the price a little further or perhaps add a free gift.

I go to popular sales sites and see what items are selling. I check out the rate of sales for a particular seller and I check out their ratings. I then make a decision on what to sell. I check the sales prices of these items and reduce my prices by at least 10%.

These ideas do not necessarily make sales but they are a start. Once you find an item which starts to sell, then I would upload more of this item as it can then become one of your best sellers.

Dropshipping is an option to obtain products but you need to do your homework in this area and much research to make sure you are dealing with a reputable provider. In this regard you can go to Forums and Feedback to see how the provider is rated. I have dealt with several dropship companies myself and only one so far failed to deliver the product. I no longer deal with this company as it caused much angst with the buyer from my site. As I said, dropshipping is a great way to obtain products but do your homework and make sure you state in your advertising that the product may be shipped from overseas and delivery times can be up to one month.

I hope this helps.

Advertise. I can’t emphasise enough the importance of advertising in business – any business. When you are watching TV, you see many ads. When you are down the street, you see many ads – on the back of buses, in shop windows and many, many other places. No-one will know about your product unless the message is put out there in front of an audience.

Draft some advertisements and select your places to show them. Do a few different ones and take note on which ones are working and attracting customers. Do something a little different in your ad. Make it stand out. Offer a free gift with every purchase or a discount for returning customers.

People love to get something for nothing BUT offer something worthwhile. Perhaps a 2 for 1…..eg Buy one and get one free. If possible, offer free shipping. Shipping costs these days can be huge. People are more likely to purchase from you if you offer free shipping.

The spiel which introduces your TripleClicks store is important. A lot of thought needs to go into what you say. This is the first thing that people see when they enter your online store. Make it good.

Testimonials and word of mouth advertising is very good. If your shop has good reviews, then more people will be inclined to purchase from your store.

This is an easy one. Attending to your daily tasks and earning versa points (VP) is a very important part of building your business. Even though you should not focus entirely in this area, you should most definitely give it your daily attention.

When you earn VP, it contributes to your share in the TripleClicks Executive Pool as long as you have at least 1500 VP for the current month.

For every VP you earn, you receive one share in the TripleClicks Executive Pool which then forms part of your income. So you can see that the more VP you earn, the greater your share in the pool.

Shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool are also earned for you by your team. For each team member in your downline who is EA2 and above, you will earn matching VP and thus more shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool.

This is of course, only one way to gain your monthly earnings, there are many other ways in which SFI have provided for us to earn our income. You can choose one way and concentrate on that or you can choose many ways and use them all for a significant income boost.

First of all, in communicating, find out the native language your team members is fluent in and when sending emails and messages to them, send them in both English and their native language. You can use Google Translate for this purpose.
In your email, ask the team member how he/she would like to communicate. Ask them if they are comfortable with English or whether they would like you to continue to translate your messages to them.
That’s a start. Now if you are not good at drafting messages and need help doing this, contact your Sponsor or your Co-Sponsor for assistance. They may be prepared to draft out some emails for you to use. If your Sponsor or CoSponsor is unavailable, then go to the Forum or to your A2A friends. There are many willing minds to help in this area of your business building.
There are many other ways you can support your team member. You can provide Gift Certificates or TCredits or put them in your Co-Op. These are all ways that you can support your team without too much communication if you are uncomfortable with it.

This is an easy one….dare I say, especially for the women. Women are great at getting together for a cuppa and a chat. Put a small ad in your local paper and say that once a month you will be holding a morning tea and a chat. Detail that you will be showing them your new business and that there is a free gift for them as well. Perhaps you can give each new member who signs up, a Gift Certificate. Just make sure you have deposited your gift certificate money in good time so that it is available on the day of your morning tea.

Your morning tea can be a recruitment time for new members and it can also be for members that have previously joined but would like some more information on what to do. If you go about helping these new members each month with a get together, you will do well.

When you place your ad in the paper, state that it is a free morning tea but bring along your laptop with you. You can then show people how to join under you and you can detail exactly what they have to do.

Leave doing your daily tasks until your members arrive and you can go through them together. Restrict your morning tea numbers to 10 or 12 people so you can give them your individual attention.

Not only will you get new members, you will also make a lot of new friends.

What would be a good strategy for attracting senior citizens to SFI?

SFI is a great business to be in for senior citizens. You will need to word your advertisements so that they are directed to this particular area of the community.

You will need to say such things as “……..are you one of our senior citizens and not quite as active as you used to be? Have you considered becoming more active…..on the internet? Do you make online purchases or love to play games? How about all this and some money in your pocket as well! Contact me at………” Provide your details or gateway link to enable your new member to become an SFI member.

I think that an advertisement worded similarly to this would attract senior citizens. Some of our older community members are gradually getting quite internet savvy and could be very valuable to your team.

What Information should I give new affiliates in my first email to them?

Your first email should be brief and very informative. Sometimes it is easier to set out the important facts in point form. You can then advise your new team member that you will be following up with detailed information later.

You can then take each one of these points – lets just say for example you list 10 valuable points –
and you can send a team mail to your team say every 3 days with one of the points explained in great detail.

Suggest that your team member print out the information and place it in a folder to refer to it later.

You can also get your own website and duplicate all of this information for your team to see and advise them of the URL. Some people like to work entirely online and this might be a better option for them rather than printing out details.

Your own website also allows you to upload lots of details of SFI and provides a place for your team to go when you are not available.

What a question. Dare I say a silly question. Of course, all of the marketing aids provided by SFI are good. Now to single out the best one, that is the hard part but I will give it a go.

There are many postcards, banners, XCards, TShirts, eCards, Gift Cards, Brochures, Leaflets, Letterheads and Envelopes, Flyers, Car Magnets, Postcards, Prewritten scripting, Splash Pages, Prewritten text ads, SFI also provides many Facebook tools. These products are available for all aspects of business building which include bring in PSAs and PRMs. Management has provided 98 marketing methods in which to use these great tools.

Now for the 64 dollar question which was asked – which one is the best method to use?

I am sure that all of us have their own favourite which they use most often and of course many of us use them all in different ways. Just remember if you use many of them, to keep details of which one works best for you.

Now to answer the question, my favourite is the ECA which is provided to you at this link http://www.tripleclicks.com/XXXXXXXX/ECA There are 15 marketing aids provided for you to use as well as 6 marketing methods. If you have your own website, you can utilise these even further. For every member you sign up as an ECA, you receive royalties for life.

My second best choice is TripleClicks and there are 35 marketing aids and 36 marketing methods provided for the promotion of this aspect of the business. The more sales you make, the more commission you earn so it is a no brainer.
