Hi Bob,

Yes, I believe you should. Pricebender's is a great penny auction and I use it to help myself in several ways - and believe you and your team could use the same:

- Definitely make at least one bid per day, because now, with the new red tab SFI has given for PB, you can earn TWO AVP for just one T-Credit spent on your first bid for the day. Done each day, this is another 30VP bonus...

- Also, if you make 3 or 4 bids and try to time them around the flash bar (where they do flash drawings for T-Credits during the auction), you can WIN more T-Credits. Just the other night, I made about 15 bids, but around these flash drawings and I won 12 T-Credits! I've used this strategy often as a way of winning TC.

- To bid in auctions, you will need T-Credits - this means your sponsor/co-sponsor (and you for your team) earn commissions - and the pool also become larger for the share at the end of the month. It only helps everyone win our business thrives.

- Lastly, you may end up winning the auction and get something for pennies on the dollar! Either something to help boost your SFI business or another one of the great products auctioned at TripleClicks!

Best of luck to you and your team in SFI!

I don't think any form of advertising is out of play - with cold calling, you can do well. Possibly better even than internet advertising as far as percentage of signups goes. But the thing with internet advertising is that you can reach more people - the cold calling is obviously more time-consuming for you to reach people.

So I wouldn't limit yourself to cold calling, but it is certainly one of the avenues you can pursue. Again, I think any form of advertising is good - especially in the beginning - and, over time, you will find the ones that are the most effective. You'll find the advertising methods that have the best cost-benefit ratio for you and adjust over time.

Wishing you the best!!!

Hi Sunit!

Great question! I think the most important tool is the genealogy tool. This will tell you many things about your PSA's and CSA's - when they signed up, last logged in, profile details, etc. You can learn alot about them from here and also use this tool to generate emails to the PSA's and CSA's you want to - use one of the convenient filters to define the group you want your mail to go to - such as PSA's in the last 10 days, or last month, or CSA's this month, etc. The filters allow you to see recent signups and you can also filter on last login date - to focus on the more active, or on the less active if you're trying to wake sleepers :)

I hope this helps - the genealogy tool is a great tool in the SFI package that should be utilized by more affiliates...

Best wishes to you! :)

Hi Izabella,

You can let them know that it's similar to Amazon, with new AND used products for sale, PLUS the added features of the games, penny auctions, and music downloads.

It's a combination of several sites into one! The games are educational and provide opportunities to win prizes in T-Credits and more...

I hope this helps - the main thing is that it offers something for everyone - whatever they are interested in, they'll be able to find it at TripleClicks...

Best Wishes!

Hi Sandra!

I think definitely not - do not advise them to slow down. You want to advise your PSA's to do what you do.

Think of it this way:
Why do you want to be a Team Leader? Why is it beneficial for you?
- The biggest reason of course is the matching VP on all PSA's and CSA's that are EA2.
- On top of that, you get additional CSA's - because team leaders get shares of second-home CSA's each month. As a team leader, you'll get matching VP on those CSA's PLUS the co-sponsor commission from any purchases they make...

So it's a great benefit to being team leader and I advise encouraging your PSA's to reach that level for the 2 reasons above. If only all realized the benefit of being a team leader, you would have multiple team leaders in your downline!

Let's be honest. It will take A LOT of direct commissions to make a significant income in this business. Being a team leader is where you benefit from the power of duplication - through the matching VP. I like to advise my PSA's that the best way to create a significant income through SFI is by being a Team Leader - and I actually provide incentives for them to consider doing so.

Hope this helps and wish you the best!!

Hi Rania,

This is a good question - and not the easiest to answer... there are pros and cons to each, but I have found that people tend to respond better to emails to their personal email address and not from the SFI team mailer.

I think this is because they get so many emails from SFI that it's easy for them to overlook messages from you through the team mail. It's better I've found to send something to them directly as they will take the time to look at it and read it.

Only problem is that if you start getting a lot of PSA's, it can become more difficult to manage that... but if you can do it, it's worth it.

Best of luck to you in SFI! :)

Hi Alvin,

This just depends on how fast you want to succeed. The fastest way to succeed in SFI is to:

Create a standing order for 125 T-Credits
Do your daily/weekly/monthly actions (including at least 1 game and 1 PB auction bid each day)
Find 5 other people willing and wanting to do the same as you do

That's it - as soon as you have 5 people, you become profitable each month (really, probably with 4, because with 4 EA2's you can easily be BTL, and with matching VP and co-sponsor commissions - you should be profitable with 4 people.

Now, how many per month, as you can see, just depends on how fast you want to succeed.

Find 4 in one month and you are already profitable - 1 per month, and you're profitable in 4-5 months. But aim to get those first 4 EA2 PSA's and then just grow from there!

Wishing you the best!

Hi Manohar! Great question! There is so much here on SFI it's hard to know where to begin sometimes - or where to advise your PSA's to begin!

I think the best are:
1) SFI Basics
2) Compensation plan - so they can see how they are compensated
3) Fast Track - so they get the 10% bonus on ALL VP (personal VP AND matching VP when they become team leader)

The Fast Track is the biggest - I always try to advise them to become Fast Track members in the first 10 days, and, if they can, become GOLD fast track so they immediately reach EA2 status.

The key to earning income in this business is duplication and matching VP, which means striving for team leader, and the best way to achieve that is beginning with GOLD fast track.

If they do JUST the actions for GOLD Fast Track (includes 1500 VP SO), they will have 2260 VP. Just a few more actions, they can become BTL. And then save some of those getting started and intermediate actions and they can stay BTL for second month. That's the first TWO months they will get second-home CSA's AND matching VP on any CSA's and PSA's they sign up - PLUS direct commissions and co-sponsor commissions. At the end of the two months, if they've done that, and continue logging in daily, they should see the value and stay with SFI - ESPECIALLY if they find a couple people each month to do the same :)

Hope this helps and wish you the best!!

Hi Carl! This is the million dollar question! I am not an expert by any means, but have been playing around with a method that seems to be taking off a bit.

The main thing is to explain to them how they can easily, with little cost, exponentially grow their income by becoming GOLD fast track, team leader, and finding 2-3 per month to do the same thing they did.

I explain the advantages of becoming a GOLD fast track member, mainly being immediately qualified as EA2 in their first 10 days and displaying the gold badge, setting the example for their PSA's, and - most importantly - getting 10% MORE VP for the Executive Pool - that's personal VP AND matching VP, for life.

Then, I explain that becoming a Team Leader is where their income can really start to grow because of the matching VP they get on all PSA's and CSA's that are EA2 or above - PLUS they get a share, or shares, of second-home CSA's each month that they can earn co-sponsor commissions and the matching VP.

It's really very simple to earn a large income with SFI if they just:
1) Become GOLD FT member,
2) Move up to Team Leader as soon as possible,
3) Find 2-3 per month to do the same thing.

If only all affiliates realized this, downlines would be exploding - I created a spreadsheet showing my new PSA's how utilizing the power of duplication, while being a team leader, can exponentially grow their income. So far the results are pretty promising.

Hope this helps, and wish you all the best!! :)

Hi Ana!

Good question! I like to provide more detailed information. I have found that many people are drawn into SFI by the word "FREE" to join. And while this is true, we know the best, and quickest, way to grow an income with SFI is to set up a standing order - to make purchases to maintain EA2 (or Team Leader) status. Once people see this, they tend to run. So I try to be upfront, explaining the details - why a purchase is better - but also explaining how becoming a Team Leader is where their income can really grow.

Really, if everyone would do the 125 T-Credit standing order, and find 2 people per month to do the same thing, they would stay and downlines would grow very quickly.

So bottom line is that I give quite a bit of detail in the beginning because I've learned without much detail, people tend to leave quickly. At least if you explain the detail, and how this program can benefit them, then there's a chance they stay and give it a shot!

Best of luck to you going forward!! :)
