Dear Narine

Why in the world would anyone crazy thief want to hack into a company like SFI? Simple! Because SFI means business and is very successful so we are always prey to the cyber crooks who want to have it the easy way.

From an experience level I was one of the victims of this attack. I got very frustrated because of being locked out out of my account for a number of days. I got so angry I wanted to terminate my account and quit. Then I remembered it was not wise to make decisions when you are angry. I knew I trusted SFI but I just felt my goals were running behind schedule and so the urge to quit was so strong. I thought about how far I had come and the many people who believe and count on me to make it. I am glad I hang on.

Let your down line know that in the online world, successful companies/websites are always prey to hackers. However SFI has taken critical steps to beef up it's security time and again. WHY?

Care and Support

Because SFI cares about the Interests of it's Affiliates. The very reason why SFI is very successful is because it's Affiliates are. Take that away from them and the business literally collapses. That's why SFI will go to great lengths to protect it's Affiliates and Includes your down line too

Clear Frequent Communication

After the attack Gery the SFI President himself made the announcement to all Affiliates of SFI. The communication was very clear, concise and to the point. He first of all demonstrated his Humility by apologizing to us all about the attack.
He then went on to update us every often about how to log in, for those who were still having log in issues on Monday. On Tuesday about parts of the website being fixed and on Wednesday about the success rates of log in which stood at 80-90%.

Proven Track Record

For skeptics. With SFI's BBB accreditation you can trust a company like that all the time. It's mission and Vision are clear. SFI is all about empowering people from all over the world to secure a Strong Financial Future and for 14 years has stood the test of time just doing that. I see proven, real success stories "printed" all over SFI every single day.

Extra SSL Protection

Your down line can rest assured that they can continue doing their business because SFI took extra security measures to beef up it's SSL(Secure Sockets Layer,
a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a cryptographic system that uses two keys to encrypt data ? a public key known to everyone and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http and you can confirm that by looking at the SFI URL right above this page right now.

So if one is serious about their business, let's not play the blame game and get back to business knowing your Future can be secure with Strong Future International if you Work hard at it.

I think that anything VALUABLE and acceptable within the SFI terms and policies of selling is a great product/s to sell.

However;

Before you start selling at TripleClicks you might want to consider doing some bit of planning ahead. By planning I mean doing some bit of research or feasibility on the products you plan to sell.

FIND OUT

1.How many Affiliates are selling them?

2.what brands are they selling?

3.what is their pricing?

4.What are the most popular items that are selling etc

This will give you an idea about what's HOT, what's saturated or what's lacking in triple clicks stores so you can have a competitive advantage.

It's unfortunate most affiliates ignore this simple Marketing Tip and then go ahead and wonder why there businesses are not getting as many sales as they had expected. It's simple 'Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail"

I think it's also wise when getting started to sell products that do not require very complicated processing and shipping. Someone who is a friend here in SFI had a serious problem due to this mistake. It cost him money-no refund and the client didn't return the product after cancellation.

Reasonable pricing of your quality products will most likely draw customers to your store. We all like discounts. I generally tend to avoid stores that are there to rip me off my hard earned money. So please be considerate in your pricing

Lastly one other way to attract more clients would be to attach attractive VersaPoints to your products. The more VP'S they have the better for your pocket book.


Best Wishes in starting your ECA Store Business

You have asked a wise question. I believe that by asking you are focused on improving relations with your Down line which is a great thing indeed.

There are many and different types of Affiliate news letters depending on what business you do but since this one in particular is centered towards SFI I will share my own Tips here:

They key goal here is fortify your relationship and build trust with your affiliates

a)INTRODUCTION(Yourself)

If you already haven't introduced yourself to them or who you are to them. I think it might be a good idea to do that because people love to work with those they can see, are real and trusted.

b)INTRODUCE SFI Business IN THE WIIFM(What's In It For Me) Format

It’s imperative that leaders look at email newsletters from the perspective of a down line who will clearly want to know “What’s In It For Me,” or “WIIFM.” It is critical to have a “clear sense of what’s going to be received by your affiliates that’s going to make their work that much better,” while also improving the success of your email newsletter. A great way to achieve this is to offer incentives in email newsletters, such as offering a reward for making it to EA status etc.

c) OFFER HELP HELP HELP ALWAYS

Ever heard of the saying that "Touch a heart before you ask for a hand"??
It holds very true. Frequently asking your down line if you can help them is a great way to improve your relationship instantly. Your affiliate will begin to see you as someone who cares about their success and will want to give back. By doing that you become an awesome sponsor to your team which ultimately improves your leadership/ sponsor rating.

d)IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL IN MARKETING YOUR BUSINESS- Share with your down line how and where to advertise. It is unfortunate that some Sponsors do not like to share some of this information because they think they will be out competed. Common! That is very negative and ironical thinking. After all who stands to benefit when your down line grows? Is it not you? Of course it is!

e)USE THE SFI FORUM

Most people do not know and probably under estimate the power of the Forum. One person once posted in the Forum and said "There is no greater Sponsor in all of SFI than the Forum". I totally agree with him. I have personally learned so much from the Forum that would have taken me longer elsewhere. Every time I find an exciting Topic in the forum that I like and would like my down line to learn something from I share the link with them. The testimonials they see from fellow affiliates in the forum about their successes will re-ignite their flame if they were discouraged.

f)MOTIVATE THEM

Start their day by streaming a positive motivational quote. They will see it in their stream pages. Caution: Avoid bombarding them with too much of it as it will result in spam and they will not like that. You could also share links to motivational info online and or recommend certain free motivational E-books etc
One other way of motivating them would be to run a team contest and offer rewards such as gift cards or 10 T-credits etc to the top 5 or 10 winners.

g)GROWTH AND INCOME TIPS

One of the best and FREE ways or methods to instantly start earning in SFI is to recruit ECA into triple clicks. Many people take this for granted but boy how powerful this is. The more you refer the better your pocket book. Sharing this type of information will greatly help your struggling affiliate improve.

Those are the methods that have worked for me. I hope you too find then useful

All the best in your News letter sending

SFI has already provided great ways to stay in touch with your PSA and CSA. The system itself works great but you can incorporate your own other methods to suit your communication needs accordingly.

WITH SFI YOU CAN USE:

The Genealogy. It is also called your Affiliate manager and works great in managing your entire team in just one setting.

The Stream Tab. Another great communication tool within the system that you can use to not only communicate with your down line but also with your A2A connections.

The Chat feature. Use it to see who of your PSA/CSA is online at any one time. How? When you see a golden yellow button on the "Your movers" page then you know that they are available online. Click on it to send a request for a chat. I use it often and it works alright.

Use both the PSA and CSA Mailer
This is great for sending TM every week. For me some of my Affiliates have once told me that whenever I didn't communicate with them through the PSA or CSA mailer, they felt like Orphans left alone in the dark. That shows they see, like and enjoy your posts. Use it carefully.

Your Leadership Page should inadvertently be able to communicate to your PSA and CSA any time about your goals, Best Tips, Success Plan etc. They should be able to look into your leadership page and get Inspired and motivated to work harder. It should be like a sign post pointing them to the right direction every time they are lost and that's a communication tool too

The Re-assignment manager
This works only when reassigning your PSA to PSA. You cannot reassign your PSA to your CSA and vice versa. Another Inadvertent communication tool. It communicates a good silent message to your hard working PSA that I am rewarding you for your diligence and hard work.

Coop Manager
The Coop Manager can help you communicate to your team by Inviting your entire down line to join a coop. The manager helps you monitor progress and provide guidance and feedback to your team about the Team Coop.

OUT OF SFI YOU CAN USE

Your own Blog
If you have a website like every successful SFI Team leader does then communication to your down line is not an issue. I can't emphasis enough the importance of having your own website. Every successful Online marketer I know has one and what is it's primary purpose? To communicate! Period!

Social Media sites
Giants like Facebook, Google+, Tweeter, LinkedIn are all proven and effective communication platforms that you can use to communicate to your team often. Good news! They don't cost a dime!

Do Webinars/Video conferencing
If you know how to do a webinar you will achieve great satisfaction from the trust your team puts upon you. For webinars try using Google chat or Skype. Even some WP plugins can now help you do unlimited webinars for free. So go ahead and put your face to your E-mails and chats

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU COMMUNICATE?

I would say as often as your team is comfortable hearing from you. Please don't spam them with greedy EA upgrades. Usually 3 times a week should do just fine.

Here's what Gery said- There's an old saying that people don't care what you say until they know you care, and it applies perfectly here. If your affiliates get the impression in any way that you just want to "make money off them," they're going to resent you, and they're not going to want to do anything to help you, which would of course include upgrading.
So Help Your Team to Help Yourself.

In this particular case TIME is the most valuable Asset here so you need to manage it more effectively.

Plan Your Time.
First things first. What is the single most important thing you could possibly be doing? Do some of that today. Remember there’s a limitless number of distracting stormtroopers – don’t fool yourself by thinking “if I just do this thing first then I can.” Jedi don’t live by excuses.

Work Smart
While it's important to learn the business, SFI can help you leverage on your time by joining these two activities below.
IAHBE- This set and Forget membership Helps you maintain your EA every month plus a guarantee of Monthly CSA'S as well
S-builder coop
Since you are Time bound. Joining the S-builder coop will help generate for you leads. The number is dependent on how many shares you have.

ADDITIONALLY:

Outsource Other Tasks
Certain tasks such as Advertising using PPC, CPA, E-zines etc can easily be outsourced to companies that provide those kinds of services for a fee. This will help you save tons of time in Advertising

Put Your Money resource to use. If you are blessed with some dime, make that money work for you. Use money to get money and grow your business. For example find a marketer and pay him/her to recruit for you Potential ECA'S to join TripleClicks. Only pay when they have successfully recruited a prospect.

Share the Business with your Spouse
SFI recommends one account per household. Talk to your spouse and ask for their hand in working the business. Distribute tasks between you two and get them done. two heads are better than one. I have seen some very successful couples here at SFI deploy this method.

Besides those points Above

Get Your Priorities Straight.
Schedule your priorities. We Humans are such funny critters. If you have a friend to meet, you’ll arrange to see them at a set time. But if you have something that matters to you more than anything – say doing your daily SFI tasks – you won’t schedule it. You’ll just ‘get round to it’. Treat your highest priorities like flights you have to catch: give them a set time in advance and say no to anything that would stop you from making your flight.

Action Planning. Action planning is a process which will help you to focus your ideas and to decide what steps you need to take to achieve particular goals that you may have. It is a statement of what you want to achieve over a given period of time. Preparing an action plan is a good way to help you to reach your objectives in life. Set Achievable Goals.Here's some helpful Tips:

Let them Identify their objectives
Setting objectives which are achievable & measurable.
Prioritizing their tasks effectively.
Identifying the steps needed to achieve their goals.
Using lists.
Being able to work effectively under pressure.
Completing their work to a deadline.
Having a contingency plan
I will end with a quote from Ari Kiev:
Life satisfaction is greatest for those involved in short term goals which are enjoyable, not too difficult; and done in cooperation with others. Focus on one objective at a time and always have the next goal in mind. To accomplish more difficult tasks, break them down into components. The most satisfaction comes from pursuing an objective, not simply from achieving it.

Hi Julio

While distributing the Physical TripleClicks Gift Cards has it's own benefits I find Distributing Digital TripleClicks Gift Cards a lot more easier and FUN for me. Both methods of distribution however are great and serve their respective Audiences well when done well. Gery himself endorses it as a great marketing method for pitching business opportunities because they are "awkwardness-FREE"

THESE WILL GET YOU GOING

1. Curve Out your niche/ Know Your Target market/prospects
Doing a little bit of market research to know where the fish are is a very critical step before you start Digital Gift Card distribution. This helps you to eliminate waste because your cards are ultra targeted to your market.

2. Use Your Own Personal Blog or Website to Distribute Spiffy Gift Cards/Banners Online
How? By including text on your blog or website describing your qualifications for receiving a card. There are many ways of doing this without being duped. For example using it in your thank you page as a bonus gift after they make a purchase of your product or after they opt into your mailing list etc. Works even better if you have a good sales funnel.

3. Do A Joint Venture with a Fellow Blogger or Marketer
If you know of a TRUSTED site owner whose site is not only very active in terms of traffic but also targeted to your product. Ask him/her for a joint venture. Send him the Digital Gift cards at no cost to him plus Instructions for redemption then tell him to distribute them for FREE as bonus give a ways to his loyal subscribers or customers. He WINS and you WIN. This is a great FREE way to advertise without spending a dime.

4. Follow the THE 1-a-DAY Distribution Plan
This works for both the digital and the physical gift cards.Why is this Important? This if done on a regular basis will generate new PRMs on a regular basis--quite possibly several of them a week. This works great because you brought them into TripleClicks FREE and once they are in and experience the sweetness of TriplClicks or Pricebenders you stand to win and make good residuals from every TripleClicks activity they get into including ECA signup plus tons of VP for you.

5. Track Your Results
Every successful marketer knows that if you don't track your results to see how effective your campaign is running. It is literally like throwing money away. You can't afford to throw your hard earned cash just like that. SAVE YOUR CASH by tracking! SFI has deployed some great tracking report for every card that you distribute and gets redeemed. Find more info here:
http://www.sfimg.com/gctrack
Each card distributed fetches you 10 (Action)VP. That is 300 bonus VP for every 30 Gift cards distributed plus you also get a prestigious DistribuSTAR leaders badge. Great stuff huh!

6. Work With Your Down line
One great method of distributing the Digital Gift Cards is one that is often either ignored or neglected and that is by showing your team how to do it. Please note that this method especially works great when you lead by example. When your team sees that you are doing great by the DistribuSTAR badge on your wall, they too will want to emulate what you do. This is very effective and doesn't cost a penny.

7. Use Social sites that you subscribe to such as Facebook, Google+, Tweeter etc to advertise your Gift Cards. If you are using Facebook for example make sure you post your ads once a day to groups that share in the same interest hence targeting your niche. Join the group first before blasting your ads because if you don't you risk being banned from the groups.

8. Use Online Forums
There are dozens or Forums like the Worrier Forum which is very active that you can use to post your Ads but again the rule of the game of thumb is NEVER NEVER blast your Ads before getting to connect and rapport with the members first. You will be spamming people by simply blasting away and no one will pay attention to your Ads.

9. Advertise if you Can(PAID)
Without a shadow of a doubt this method is in my opinion the fastest in bringing results if you know how to do it well.
You may advertise your Digital Gift Cards if you know about CPA(Cost Per Action) offers or PPC(Pay per click) or E-zine Advertising which is also very effective in getting your message across because it is highly targeted. If you can't afford paid advertising for now then use safe lists and traffic exchange sites or start/create a blog which may take a bit of time but worth it.

In conclusion while Digital advertising or Distribution of Gift Cards is great and can prove very EFFECTIVE in bringing in PRMS and GREAT Residuals for Life I would like to end by quoting Gery's word of caution here:

"Distributing gift cards online to unknown persons is risky. This is because it's difficult to know if people are who they say their are online. Thus, someone could get a card out of you posing to be one person, then another card from you by posing to be another person, and another and another.A determined person could potentially rob you of dozens of cards! So when you set your qualifications for receiving a card from your blog or website, make sure you keep in mind that, sadly, there are dishonest people out there who might like to take advantage of your generosity."

With that said good Friends I Wish You All Much Blessings Ahead and a successful 2014 with Digital Gift Card Distribution.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

While good and exemplary leadership in any organization and business is a big plus please take heed that your success does not necessarily depend on your sponsor. I personally am a testimony to that. I felt like an orphan left alone but you know what? Challenge and controversy is very good. It helps you grow and over come obstacles.

HOW DID I OVERCOME IT

1. An Honest Rating of my sponsor
I put this as first because if your sponsor was deliberately ignoring your call for help then it might be a good idea to wake him up a little bit by giving your honest rating of him. It also helps you determine whether you can get help from him/her or look else where. This woke him up a little but for a while.

2. Reach Out to Your Up line
If your sponsor has completely failed to comply chances are you still have a good up line or cosponsor that is willing to help out. I had thought my up line would be the last person to reach out to for help because he was a PTL but I was wrong. He actually gave me his Skype I.D and I had the longest Skype call discussing about ECA tips and how to make it fast. I am so grateful to him

3. Make good use of your Successful A2A friends
Without a shadow of a doubt many of my a2a friends have been VERY VERY supportive. I wish I could put them to the spot light here but I guess policy does not allow it. When I was lost with a bunch of questions overwhelming me, these wonderful friends from a2a came to the rescue and I will forever be grateful to them for their support

4. Make use of the Forum
That's right! It took me a while to get to the forum but once I did after a2a friends suggested. My oh my! I am not just hooked but have learned so so much from the Forum. Someone in the forum once said that the BEST sponsor is the Forum and I could never agree any less.

5. Make Use of SFI success tools. Resources such as success has rules-follow them, the training area, Ask sc etc
The benefits are HUGE! Please remember that leaders are readers. I know so because I see it. All the guys whose success I have studied over time have been very successful because there's always something that they know about that you don't. Information is knowledge and knowledge is POWER and power can bring sweet success indeed

6. Make MEANINGFUL use of Support
I could never over emphasize the Importance of good support in any organization. One of the best support desks I have come across online is the SFI support. These guys are so incredible. Their support is impeccable and I can testify to that. There's not a single issue or question that I submitted that was not addressed. So make MEANINGFUL use of the support desk. Please ask questions that you know only support can address.

7. This last Option is not recommended but if you think you REALLY MUST then you can alternatively opt out of SFI for six months then come back and sign up under a sponsor of your own choosing. You would have to write to your current sponsor first and ask him/her to release you. I almost did that BUT I am so glad I didn't. My most valuable asset is TIME and I am not gonna waste it because my sponsor is not helping. The little money I have invested in the business already would have gone to waste had I opted out. I am GLAD I stayed and I AM NO QUITTER.

Best Success Wishes Ahead and A HAPPY NEW PROSPEROUS YEAR

I think this question calls for being a AN AWESOME SPONSOR.
First question to ask oneself would be am I doing it right? By doing it right I mean are you;
Leading by example?
Treating your business like a business?
Doing something everyday to grow your business?
To mention but a few. For more on how to be a great sponsor kindly refer to this link for more detailed information: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor

In one of the 'being an awesome' Tips in the link above we are encouraged to work with the workers. You cannot waste your time dragging and trying to bend a horse to drink water. Save yourself the kick.

Be Honest
From the very beginning after I signed up with SFI I was told this is a real business and a real business takes time. That was honesty coming from SFI. My subconscious mind prepared me for a long time business building feat which I am OK with. Being honest lets you know if the affiliate is a tire kicker or a potential future leader. It works like crazy!

I believe that after your Affiliates have seen what you do and seen the success you have exemplified they will be motivated to work their business too.

Success has rules and we must follow them. Use the SFI link above to learn much much more and I am confident you will find it VERY useful

To Your Success with SFI and A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Hi Jacinta,

I share in your Concern and I am pretty sure almost 99% of ALL Affiliates here in SFI go through the same Scenario every now and then. It is also quite discouraging at first and when you are new in SFI facing a challenge like this without seeking advice could cause one to quit. Because well, it seems everybody is quitting so why am I here? Right? WRONG!

When I look through my genealogy the numbers are totally opposite between the performers and the non performers. Currently I have over 300 non performers vs 5 very active performers.

This Brings me to 3 Categories of Workers You should Look out For and How to go about them.

1. Tyre Kickers

Who Exactly is A Tyre Kicker? (Urban Dictionary Def)

Someone who is indecisive about purchasing a product or service, and never feels satisfied with what they are offered. In the end a tire kicker may or may not buy. The term comes from sales people at car dealerships. Tire kickers would come around frequently, kick the tires a few times on the cars that they liked, but never make a solid purchasing decision on any particular car or trim.
That tire kicker has come here every day for the last month, don't waste any time on him.

2. The Curious/ Just looking Soul

Compared to the Tyre kickers the curious or just looking souls could have landed on your page by sheer curiosity. They were not looking for the opportunity but decided to try it out to see what it has to offer. Depending on many other factors(information overload) and shiny objects elsewhere they could stay or go away and keep looking elsewhere. Try and establish quick contact and communication with these people and engage them on a personal level. Some will stick around and some will go or all will still go and that's a fact of life with this business. If they go don't sweat it. It's a numbers game.
Normally for me I try and communicate with these people frequently on a personal level for up to 10 times. If I hear no feedback I let them Go

3. Business Opportunity Seekers

You can almost notice a business opportunity seeker on the very first day of his SFI signup. When I first got started with SFI my sponsor only noticed me after realizing that I had by-passed him. You don't have to be this way. Open your communication lines frequently and let them know that you are available to help them anytime should they need it.

In summery One other way to test and see which of your Affiliates are responsive is to Motivate them by Offering incentives. Launch an Incentivised campaign through your genealogy and see how many respond. If non do the first time keep reminding them every week that you are offering a bonus/gift etc for any one of them who becomes an EA, BTL or STL etc I have tried it and I have seen the slow and reluctant performers slowly crawl out of their shells.

And last but not least you want to make sure that you are working with the workers. Take good care of them. Start a social hang out for your entire team on Facebook, Skype etc. I hope this helps

To Your Success

I hope To See You At the Top

Best Regards

Hi Jacinta,

I share in your Concern and I am pretty sure almost 99% of ALL Affiliates here in SFI go through the same Scenario every now and then. It is also quite discouraging at first and when you are new in SFI facing a challenge like this without seeking advice could cause one to quit. Because well, it seems everybody is quitting so why am I here? Right? WRONG!

When I look through my genealogy the numbers are totally opposite between the performers and the non performers.
