How do we define good communication? Is it only writing? If we were to go deeper in our interpretation of good communication, the following would also contribute to the overall meaning of good communication instead of just writing.

1) Body language – can dominate a conversation more than our tone or words. Making
sincere eye contact with your potential sign ups, warm market etc, dressing well with good
posture can make a difference when making a sales pitch or working with your clients (for
ECAs especially).
2) Listening – be a good listener to better understand what someone else is saying
3) Empathy – being aware of the needs of others through what they say to you
4) Patience – not losing your cool when you send out an email and don’t get a reply

As to writing skills, practices make it perfect. The more you write, the better you will become. Observe how other people present their views, writing their website or blogs and so on. If you have some ideas, write it down. If not for immediate use, you may need it later, when you need ideas, you can refer back from what you have written down before.

Back to SFI, sample letters are available for use. From SFI, contribution by Senior and successful old members can be traced from archive. Forum is another avenue where sharing of ‘out of the box’ information made available 24/7, by SFI community to all Affiliates. You just need to ‘search’ for topics of your interest, digest all pertinent info and re-write in your own words. Use a simple and easy to understand words, as long as your message is clear and concise for people to understand.

So, good communication does not mean only in writing, it consists all of the above-mentioned. If you can combine all of them and put into practice, you will become ‘almost’ a perfect person not only in writing but the overall aspects of good communication, eventually you will become a good communicator.

Those who have subscribed to Radio SFI will know how good the contents are, provided by the service provider. Every advert and promotions are all about SFI and TripleClicks. The banners, splash etc are provided for.

Taking SFI Radio. Rules of Success by Mr. President himself, as an example, we the affiliates can actually do the same by doing our own recording and share it on YouTube. YouTube alone received over one billion unique visitors per month. If you have a good contents, YouTube should be your 1st choice for marketing followed by Facebook, Google+ and many more.

Video marketing is possible/viable because:
1) Costs: Production costs have fallen significantly in recent years, enable more and more people to engage video marketing as way of their marketing strategy. 64% of network marketers realise the possibilities and expect video to dominate their strategies in the near future.
2) Video is giving you really a large portion of the viewers at any one time, you are talking about billions. If 1% of these billions look at your video advert, imagine the big possibilities that you will receive.

We are in the era of social marketing being the most popular in recruiting for new affiliates. We tend to forget this particular, also very important way of reaching out to our potential sign-ups. Face-to-face communication should not be overlooked as a viable alternative to our approach in recruiting.

Face-to-face does not mean we have to be there physically with our contacts. With technological advances, we can still do it with personal touch. Skype, Facebook, Google+ and video conferencing, we will find opportunities to have a live discussions and meetings electronically.

The advantage is, it is very flexible where meeting can be done at specific time with specific person or attendees. A flexible alternative when attendance at one location presents challenges for participants due to factors such as distance and time.

Face-to-face communication can be very effective option where you can:

1) Gauge and understand reactions to information being presented.
It is well known that written, telephone and face-to-face communication are all rely on words, only face-to-face provides the ability to both, observe body language and you can hear tone of voice. These additional signals can provide you the insights that are critical in gaining an understanding of others perspectives.

2) You will develop trust and boost relationship and team cohesiveness.
The potential of developing relationships and team cohesiveness increase when there are opportunities for face-to-face interactions built on trust and also by utilizing all the signals developed throughout your face-to-face communication.

3) Face-to-face also prevent and resolves conflicts.
Proper explanation about SFI, the compensation plan for example, will assist you to provide them with correct information thus, and as a result of the discussion, it is likely to increase the positive outcomes in preventing and resolving conflicts that may arise within your team.

In summary, face-to-face communication will give you the flexibility to assess the person, the needs, the likes, their expectations and their desires, allow you to gauge if they are serious about doing SFI business. The best part of face-to-face communication is that, it’s providing you with all the verbal & non-verbal cues that will decrease the probability of miscommunication, misinterpretation and misunderstanding, as compare to e-mails or other written communication.

Which is better and why? Promoting SFI and TripleClicks locally and more personally...or globally via the Internet?

The advantages and benefits of promoting SFI/TripleClicks locally are;

- You eliminate the language barrier by promoting to those prospects from your same country.
- Transfer of buying to your local ECA stores will save you the shipping costs.
- You have ample opportunity to meet your potential sign-up for a closer partnership and better understanding of the business, with your personal touch, personally coaching them, be it near or afar.
- Save you your travelling time. No one will be able to make an overseas trip just for coaching purposes.
- You should be able to assess your prospect’s whether he/she is serious about doing this business. Do your preliminary assessment on their behaviour, interest, financial standing etc.
- You are able to explain anything clearly if they ask and put forward questions.
- Prospects most likely will sign-up with those from the same area, someone they know.
- If you have your ECA store, you can promote your physical store to them. Again, eliminates the shipping costs & cheaper rates.
- I like this one. Gathering of SFI Affiliates. For fun. With family and friends. Once or twice a year. Off from SFI business topics for a day! Make sure your holiday mode is ON for your Daily VP Streak.

Doing locally and personally requires so much of your time. This is the main minus point in doing so. You will need to have a super good time management and superb in setting your priorities.

Globally via the Internet, you can do basically anything, with Internet access.

- You have Mr Google to help you find anything, how to market online, how to start prospecting, how to do your blogs, how to set-up your website, how to spot a good Leader, where to advertise free, free website, free traffic exchange... and the HOW continues. You will get all the answers. Do your reading, not only read SFI Basics, Launchpad and all the tools by SFI, take the initiative to learn and get extra information pertaining to our SFI business. This might help those without internet marketing experience.
- Reaching out to contacts outside your country is not a problem at all. You have Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and so on, that you can use to advertise, to promote, to make new friend and all.
- Free marketing tools provided by SFI/TripleClicks – use them freely and creatively to attract more prospects to your site, blogs, social media etc.
- Send Ecards, Group/Individual mails to your PSAs & CSAs around the globe. You are able to communicate, show your appreciation for work well done.
- You are able to initiate your group webminar via internet. Use Skype for video conferencing.

In summary, when it comes to promoting your SFI and TripleClicks business, locally or globally, I would recommend that you should use both methods. List down the pro and cons, draw up a systematic plans and execute them wisely.

Both are good, in terms of delivering PSAs needed to boost your team and progress your business.

The difference between S-Builder Co-op and PSA-To-Go, is that PSA-To-Go will give you immediate delivery of your PSAs purchased. It will takes 3-4 month for S-Builder Co-op to complete delivery of your order.

There will be NO guarantee on the number of sign-ups from S-Builder Co-op, yet PSA-To-Go will deliver the exact number of PSAs you ordered/purchased within 1-2 days after payment received.

For both, there will be no guarantee of active sign-ups but chances are better that PSAs delivered by S-Builder Co-op will turn out to be active PSAs.

By investing in S-Builder, you'll be part of a worldwide advertising campaign utilizing:
• Magazines & Newspapers
• Mobile Devices (Cellphones, iPads, etc.)
• The Internet (banner ads, blogs, pay-per-click, etc.)
• Media, such as TV and radio.

If you were to pay for each bit of advertising yourself, it will cost you much more. You don't need to write ads, edit and/or track your ads, or other things that you need to do if you were running an ad campaign yourself. It is clear that this power tool packs a solid punch when it comes to saving your time, energy, and money in getting your PSAs and growing your business.

Choice is yours.

In my opinion, the best way is to promote Eager Zebra Games is via advertising. To attract non-SFIers to be involved is not easy, but I believe with the correct content and targeted advertisement, you can reach out to those people outside SFI.

1. Create or ignite enough curiosity within your advertisement.

2. Manipulate the very big market in terms of gamers online by specifically targeting at certain group or age group. Basically, youngsters are the ones like to play online games.

3. You may want to create a contest page in your Website or blogs, where you can offer Gift Cards for their participation.

4. You can distribute flyers or TC Eager Zebra X-Cards or use the banners to promote Eager Zebra Games.

5. Promote Eager Zebra games on social media like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc.

6. Em-ail marketing

Lastly, sharing your winnings might help to ignite interest. Share with your potential contacts about what you have done, won, and prizes received.

For sure we live in the era of borderless world. Information at your fingertips, there should be no reason at all for you to face difficulties in approaching and promoting your products, services and your business.

First of all equip yourself with full knowledge (extra would be better) on ways to promote your SFI, TripleClicks, PriceBenders, EZ Zebra Games, WAVE3, ECA Program etc and ensure that you have all these ready just in case you bump in to old friends or family members. Am sure you will have no problem in approaching people that you know.

A hello to a stranger might lead you to a sign-up. But be precise when explaining about SFI and do not promise anyone a world. But if you still not comfortable in face to face approach, facebook is the most popular social media. Rather than posting and sharing undesired contents, why not promote your SFI business and share with the world the huge opportunity, for everyone to grab. One liked by a friend will give you a lot more viewers and that might trigger more interest and opening an opportunity for more sign-ups.

These few additional items may help you overcome your fear of approaching people, but high self-esteem will eliminate this altogether. Prepare yourself and works towards attaining a Team Leader position and this will boost your confidence greatly.

- Approach contacts from your country for a start. Use website, blogs, social media, twitter, email marketing etc.
- Once familiar and comfortable, reach out to other people globally using the same methods and find more alternatives on online marketing, promote either on free or paid sites. All as per your spending power. No one will force you here.
- Print and distribute your X-Cards, simply leave behind in taxis, shops, restaurants, on the bus, etc. Important, ensure your ID is printed at the back of your cards.
- Printing and distribute of flyers
- Collaborate with newspaper vendors, owners of retails stores – to give away your X-Cards to their customers and pay them some incentives for every card they distribute for you.
- Have your fliers displayed at strategic community centres, employment agencies, convenient stores, universities bill board or engage a distribution company to distribute your flyers to housing estates.

Basically, so much more you can do to promote your business, without direct interaction. Outsourcing will save you time but you have to put aside some budget, face to face marketing will need your dedication, focus, patience and its time consuming.

If you plan to build your own empire, than you are required to do both, face to face and online marketing.
Personal touch will give you the long lasting impressions.
Choice is yours and yours only.
