The things that make me proud to be an SFI affiliate! Great Question.

There are a lot of things but I will just name a few:

> to be a member of such a great "society of exceptional people"
> SFI helps me improve on my time management skills
> SFI allows me to be a team leader and work towards a specific goal
> SFI provides the training and support needs to for success
> SFI helped me start my own business as a ECA store, that I wanted to start as a physical store which was not possible because of lacking investments. SFI allowed me to start for free
> SFI rewards me far more than I ever thought possible either in sales, tcredits, MRP or badges.
> Another thing I am proud of is the rewards I get from SFI whether I shop or not.
> I am proud to be an SFI affiliate as I can have goods ship to be from all over the world
> SFI allows me to meet friends all over the world and provides a place for me to also express myself.

I am proud of the whole SFI system knowing that what I desired to do for years is right here at my fingertips because of SFI. I can still do the business that I dreamed of having but SFI makes it more fun, simple and rewarding. I am proud having found the this great opportunity which is more than a dream come through.

I am also most proud of the possibilities and the opportunities that SFI will help me reach my goals faster that a day job could ever do.

These are some things that make me proud to be an SFI affiliate.

Well I would not say one or the other! If I must choose though, I would say more valuable items.

People may gravitate to a certain item if they are in fact searching for that item in particular. Usually if they are already in search of that particular item and already have an idea of what the item should cost then the seller should employ good pricing techniques. The seller would not want to price the item too high as it may scare away customers. He/She does not want to price the item too low either so that he does not make a profit from the sale.

If the item is a service or ebook or something that is not physical or too time consuming, if you can afford to price low, go for it! It may attract more buyers. Even if the buyer did not set out looking for that particular item. If the price is low and the value outweighs the cost then that is bound to attract customers too.

If an item is prices really high ensure that the customer will see the value in the product and understands the high pricing they may still consider the product.

In general its does come down to cheap or expensive products. What you should focus on is valuable products and work on good pricing techniques. As I said some customers may have an idea of what a product is really worth and may become a bit suspicious if a really valuable product if priced too low.

Good pricing techniques makes all the difference: Know you target audience.

Keep in mind too that affiliates also look at VP value of the products as well. The more VP's a product gives for the purchase of particular product makes that product more inviting to the affiliate.

Hope this helps.

Great Question Nathaniel!

Bare in mind that SFI has the latest news and the Forum that you can get ideas from for your newsletter.

Then there is the FSI Basics and launchpads. What I would advised you to do is to load yourself with information from any section of SFI and once you have done this create your newsletter with any bit of information that you think would be relevant to your team.

Also follow the ruled when it come on to sending mail to your team as you do not want to send mail too often or overload you team with too much information at a time either.

Hope this helps.

"What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?"

I don't know why a sponsor would not respond to their affiliate, but if that is the case, I would say that SFI has all the tools needed to be successful in this business.

It is not the sponsor or SFI that makes the affiliate successful. These two are just aids in the process.

If a sponsor is not responding, I say to the affiliate: "do what you can to succeed just the same. You will feel so much more fulfilled to know that you made it to success without the help of a sponsor."

Seek the help of A2A friend, support, forum, Ask Sc etc. There is no excuse not to success anyways.

"How do you get your affiliates to approach their SFI business realistically, like a real business, and not some get unrealistic rich quick scheme?"

Great question! I don't think there is any great answer to this question. Why? Its up to the affiliate. Most successful businesses do not happen overnight.

In fact most riches do not come easily. It takes time, effort, investment, dedication, commitment etc.

Whether internet based or physical business, in my opinion the affiliate needs to realize this for themselves and there is not much you can do until they see this.

Once the affiliate sees this then you can do your job as a sponsor and assist in their success.

I like your question,

In a nutshell I tell them that "instead of or in addition to setting up your own website and/or physical store, you can open you own ECA store and have the opportunity to increase sales where millions of people worldwide will have access to view your store and items you are selling."

Important: I also tell them it is a free store on TripleClick but they should still do the advertising and employ good pricing and valuable products that "people will want to buy" to increase their chances of maximum sales.

Many affiliates complain that they do not get any sales on tripleClick. Instead of just telling ECA's just how to open a store, I would also tell them how to employ good E-commerce strategies or guide them to where they can find the information:

"https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/ECAMarketingAids"
"https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Marketing/StandardReferralMethods"

This ensures that they are successful and the get value from their ECA store.

Its important to let them know that its an expansion opportunity for their business and they should arm themselves with the necessary tool for success to with as my prospect I am here to help in whatever way I can. Read training on Strategies to referring ECA's:https://www.sfimg.com/Training/ECAStrategies

"Its vital that you market your store or items! This is a general rule not only for TripleClicks. I would not be inclined to leave that bit of information out as your success = my success."

Regards,

Success is the best!

etc. There is a lot that successful leaders do in SFI but a good idea is to become a2a friends with some of them and ask them personally. As much can be learned from them.

Well in my opinion it wouldn't be fair to you to focus more on one type of business and ignore others. You may never know where you can recruit strong ECA members. All advertising is good advertising. Remember as well, some people have greater success recruiting total strangers than people they already know.

That being said, you may get some ideas here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/WhoDoYouKnow and promote: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/TCFreeListing
