Hello Richard,

Becoming a Team Leader is your highest goal. If you have a team you will want to become a Team Leader. Why? Because Team Leaders earn Matching Versa Points on all EA2s and CSAs in your downline. This is where the big earnings are made. For every month you qualify as Team Leader you will receive one share of Second Home CSAs around the 15th of the following month. Usually I receive some number over 50 CSAs.

You will also want to lead by example. If you want your

Hello Annalie,

The two most important things you will need to have in order to maximize the benefits of being a Bronze Team Leader are:

1. you must maintain a minimum 3-star Sponsor Rating from your PSAs. This only
applies if you have a minimum of 5 ratings. The best ways to assure that you get the best rating possible is to be that Awesome Sponsor. First you must set the bar followed by leading your PSAs and CSAs by example. Be accessible to answer questions. Provide

If you have hundreds or thousands of inactive PSAs and CSAs you have your prospects right where you can reach out to them. Think! Do most even comprehend what they joined or that they did?

Teach them the difference between winners and looser's. Ask them, "why does SFI work for me and not you?" and "What were you thinking about when you enrolled in SFI?"

Show them the difference between those who process the entrepreneurial mindset and those that don't.

You will need to base this upon the diverse circles of people you know or intend on targeting. The product line you will promote should be suitable for your intended target. You will want to be sure the product is presented correctly and in a way that would appeal to your prospective customer. If you find an ECA has to many poor reviews then you might be better to redirect your efforts.

How can I promote my ECA store's products to my downline so they'll want to sell them and/or buy them?

Here is what I would do:

1. Include your ECA Store link in all Team Mail and emails. I place it in my Gmail signature via setting it will always be added automatically.

2. Refer them to the "SFI Affiliates" tab when visiting a product listing for the promo links, VersaPoints, Commission info and Tips.

3. Include important information like "Free Shipping" or anything that might be of specific interest to their buying or selling of your products.

You will need to study the area where you live to see where senior citizens are gathering. In one small rural town I used to reside is a Community Center that has live musicians and dances on a monthly basis. Even though most are senior citizens it is open to all ages.

In some circles you could be considered a senior citizen at age 50 or 55. The best strategy is to befriend them. They need to see you has a reputable and trustworthy person. If you have Facebook Friends who are Senior Citizens

Apart from the 125 TCredits pack, what other Standing Order product with 1500 VP would you suggest to replace IAHBE?

It is not necessary to replace it with a Standing Order product with 1500 VP. You can find products that are consumable that you like - that we all use on a daily basis. If you feel that it must be 1500 VP you can come close enough with the selection of a few consumable products.

Take a good look at Peak Nutrition and many natural household cleaning products. Products that carry higher profit margins will increase your commission income and these products also carry more VPs. Wouldn't

This is where you need to be careful and for more reasons than just one. You don't want to be overbearing and turn someone off. Remember these people are also prospective TripleClicks Customers. Some may be in a profession that requires their undivided attention and/or be involved in other worthy pursuits besides that. You should care about what's important to them.

You should never advise such a person to just keep buying PSAs; leaving them to fend for themselves. They might maintain

Here is a sample of the Welcome Letter I send out. For CSAs "I am your Co-Sponsor and Team Leader." My PSA and CSA Greeting is much shorter; yet effective.

Dear Name,

Welcome my friend and team member to Strong Future International (SFI) and our online e-store TripleClicks. My name is XXXXXX XXXXXXXX, and I am your SFI Sponsor and Team Leader.

Most definitely! What you would say and the method you would use to make contact might vary depending on your past relationship with this person. For example were they working closely with you in the past over a longer period of time or were they distant and active for a short period of time.

You do not need to know why they became inactive. If they want you to know they will volunteer that information to you.

The main thing is that you let them know you are available to
