Great question. I will never quit SFI!

Why?

There is nothing else out there that even remotely compares to SFI. I have been marketing
for 10 years and this system is by far the most sound, well structured, well though out, and
easily achievable system to duplicate and succeed at as long as you follow the rules of success and put
in the effort and the time to build YOUR business.

The SFI system is very basic and not hard to achieve but does take some time. Most people can't get over the time
factor and are looking for a get rich quick venture which SFI is not. Once you understand this and then understand
the three basic concepts of building a residual and leveraged income in SFI, you too will never quit. It would be like
throwing away good investments down the drain. You won't do it.

SFI is FREE to start and no costs.
You control your destiny.
The training is top notch and also FREE. You will not find this anywhere.
SFI is easy to duplicate and very attainable.
1. Become EA.
2. Sponsor 3-5 EAs
3. Train then do the same.

That is the system. Yes, it does take time depending on your capital and know how and will take some time to learn to see the basics work,for you.

That is ok though.

Why?

The system does work and anyone in the world is a candidate and can do it.
The sky is the limit. Once you get the understanding of how to sponsor, how to communicate and how to duplicate,
you have what it takes now to succeed too and you will figure this out within due time and once you do you will see that you
to will persevere and you will NEVER QUIT either.

You have great resources, great people, and everything you can think of at your finger tips and you don't need to pay a
cent to use them although you might want invest to to build your business. It is not required. You can't get this anywhere else
in the world literally on the Internet. Nowhere.

If you are thinking of quitting, don't, as you will wish you did not down the road as even though this business or SFI has
been going 16 years strong, it is just getting started and you are in now at the most opportune time. Don't ever give that
up as you may never get this opportunity again.

Hope this both motivates you and answers your question.

Good luck and will see you at the top!

Good question.

Lead by example. If they see what you do works, they will duplicate what you do. Period. Be sure to practice what you teach your downline. If you say do A, you better be doing A too. Successfully too. Remember, you, yourself, should be duplicating your up line or SFI mentor that is producing well.

How can you teach duplication if you are not also successfully duplicating from someone else your efforts. Last thing you want is to teach your downline, whether you are doing it too or not, to duplicate the wrong effort.

To summarize. You need to be duplicating successfully your efforts first. Then teach your downline to duplicate you by leading by example and your results will be the pudding in the pie. If they see results, you don't need to spend a lot of time explaining the importance of duplication as they will likely pick it up.

SFI success is predicated on duplicating what we know already works. In laments terms, that is

Learn to become EA
Remain EA
Build a downline of 3-5 strong PSA
Teach them to do the same.

That is duplication in its simplest terms.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

Good question. There are two simple answers.

First: They are experienced already and have a strong following.

This is very true in Internet and network marketing. The strong marketers have a strong following and when they jump from one system to another they literally can bring their entire downline with them. For them, in SFI, this is quite simple as the the system for them is not too difficult and thus easily duplicatable

This is not to common by numbers though. The more likely answer to your question as it relates to SFI is Financial status at the time they started. Then, we need to understand what you mean by success. I will assume for this question mean either rank or VP leaderboards or both.

Money can buy both rank and VP. If you have money, you can go an literally purchase a team and get rank very quickly. This is done by sheer number of affiliates and actually does work as you will uncover stars.

This same person can also buy sales VP bursting their power rank as high as they are willing to pay. They do this buy buying TC Credits and affiliates packs and they win auctions and build rank with sheer motivation of investing $$$$$$. This is not bad if they know how to handle the SFI team aspect correctly. The money poured into TC is good for the entire program as it's all $$$ going to EP. Plus they are buying from ECAs to build there teams so it helps support ECAs and referrals to those ECAs.

These people can literally become PTL in months but the key here is can they sustain it. If they do it correctly and follow the same rules of success, yes. They still have to nurture downlines and communicate and follow the same rules. However, their finances greatly accelerate their success.

This is good for all if done correctly. This is a majority of people who find success quickly.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Good question.

The best method of handling rejection is to take it as positive criticism and leverage why they are rejecting you. Find out what they are thinking that makes them won't to reject you. Consider that a favor to you. It is a healthy approach to accept rejection as is a part of life and to acknowledge that what makes the difference is how you rebound and keep going and use it as a learning experience and nothing more than that.

So, acknowledge the rejection. Be honest too when you explain SFI as stretching truths will be easily noticed. Don't tell people,what you want them to hear, tell them the truth even of some aspects are not great, honestly is best.

Second, listen to their concern, understand why they think they do and if you then understand why they are rejecting you, perhaps then, you can counter the rejection by answering probing questions like,if it were this way then what would be your thoughts now.

Be sure to reiterate what makes SFI unique despite rejection and clearly articulate the silver bullets which differentiate SFI from similar ventures.

Last but not least, you can still offer a some sort of incentive to get them to bite so you can show them that what you state is not fluff but genuine. Do this legally and not against rules of course but by offering to help them to be successful the first month or two gives you time to prove your case.

This is really it. Hope this was useful information

Good luck.

Good question.

Before you can set goals appropriately, you need to really do your homework and understand every nook and cranny of information about SFI first as you cant set goals if you don't have an ultimate outcome end target in mind from the start.

Knowledge is power. Knowing how the SFI system works, then you take your own experiences and motivations can weigh them to your new found knowledge about how SFI works so you can set mutually attainable realistic targets to shoot for.

By being realistic and not over stating your goals, you will be likely to attain them. The better you get and more you attain them every month, the better likely hood you will succeed and not give up.

I think this simplifies. A great deal how you personally can set your proper goals and meet your success.

Hope this helps.. Good.luck!

This is one of those questions where there is no incorrect answer. Using TripleClicks gift certificates is overall a great motivator to jump start affiliates. The question is not only how to use TripleClicks gift certificates but when to use them and to which affiliates.

There are some core tips that seem to work well if motivation is the primary goal for using TripleClicks. The most successful tip is too include it in your welcome letter for new affiliates you sponsor.

Why the welcome letter?

It works to stimulate many affiliates into action whom may of have otherwise been none responsive. Who does not like to spend money? The benefit of using TripleClicks is three fold:

You get DC - direct commission
The affiliates gets something they want plus the VP
Builds rapport with many affiliates.

There is also a strategic method to using TripleClicks to motivate affiliates. If an affiliate needs VP and cant afford a standing order, if they are just shy of 1500 VP, you can send them a TripleClicks certificate to help them get the points they need to make EA.

This is a WIN/WIN for both the sponsor and the affiliate. The affiliate stays motivated as they keeping EA and the sponsor wins because they done their job and helped keep the team moving forward in a positive direction plus they keep building their downline.

The key to this approach is to use it sparingly and only when really necessary or your affiliates might get to used you helping them and not working their issues themselves.

Remember, you as the sponsor earn sales points as well for purchasing the TripleClicks certificates from the start.

One last method of using TripleClicks certificates is to provide them as congratulations gift after the affiliate has reached a milestone or goal.

These are all good tips to use TripleClicks certificates to motivate your affiliates.

This question can be hit or miss depending on perspectives.

An Autoresponder is a great tool for bringing in opt-ins to the next level more so for product based purchases, matrixes, MLMs etc. where you know that constant hammering and presenting over longer durations which will eventually get a buyer who was not sure if they want to buy in to the next level if they see it enough times.

Is that the type of person you want to be in your front line. Likely not.

However, if you target your traffic well and you set a second specific squeeze page that targets the traits of good hungry buyer with a powerful SFI headline approved by SFI of course which sends them to your gateway page after they opt in, your follow-up emails will icing on the cake, if even needed.

Targeted traffic can be easily converted through an autoresponder typically with 2-3 follow ups max, as they are already hungry buyers in your market and why they opted in to your page. If the sales page or gateway page does not make the sale, the follow up should focus on these three key points with each point being a separate letter. If you don't get them to sign up by these points, its likely you don't want them anyway and they won't join anyway.

Letter 1 - FREE to join how and proven - discuss this in few sentences
Letter 2 - FREE training and resources to learn everything to be successful
Letter 3 - The 3 Simple Steps to Full Time Income - Discuss the system but not get rich

If that follow-up sequence is presented to a target hungry buyer already emotionally wound up, your conversions could be very impressive. This would be the likely best method of using an autoresponder effectively for this offering.

Typically, autoresponders are not effective for SFI unless targeted as its aimed for a crowd not likely to possess the qualities that will be effective downline affiliate for you. However, if presented to the right buyer it can be very effective.

Hope this gives you the competitive edge you are seeking! Good Luck.

There are several methods to engage an SFI affiliate on Social sites. I will focus only on a few.

Take Facebook for example. The most beneficial method of engagement where many affiliates can take part very easily are
Facebook closed groups that are solely created for the purpose of helping each other in SFI. You can seek these out and if they
are not secret and you can join them freely, if public, or request to join if closed. If they exist, and you have proof you are an SFI
member, they will let you in.

Be sure to read the group rules carefully as many of these have tight restrictions on what can be posted.

A better method is to create your own Facebook group and gear it towards your downline and invite your entire downline to join and make it a closed group so you have control over who can join and the rules. Remember, keep the group specific to SFI and how to be successful at SFI. There are many people who would be happy to join and collaboration amongst your downline is very valuable. This is true engagement of only SFI affiliates and can be very strategic and beneficial to your group in duplication of efforts.

Facebook pages are another option but they are more advertising like and not as engaging and personable as closed groups. Twitter is similar to this as Twitter is also not as personable as you don't have the control like you do in a closed group.

Here is one last one you don't hear a lot about and can be very engaging and that is privately shared Pinterest boards. Pinterest has become huge on the business angle and you can create boards that are secret boards that are not searchable and you control who can be invited and there are many out there where some of the most engaging information is on Pinterest more so then Facebook group.

Bottom line, if you want to engage affiliates on Social sites for SFI, you should take the bull by the horns and create the forum of engagement and be sure to have control of its members or it can take a life of its own.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

You MUST have a team.

Not just a any team though.......

You show:

*Determination
*Motivation
*Persistence
*Focus
*Willingness
