My feed back on this topic is simple. SFI = Secure Future International ...... "Secure Future" ... If one can go to the page Earnings Calculator they will be able to clearly see how SFI could possibly benefit them and the monetary gain it could have on them down the road.

Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

My opinion is...

In any job it is nice to be rewarded for a job well done.
What if you worked at a job very hard and never received a raise, let alone a pat on the back?
When rewards are given, I feel it gives associates a chance to make decisions about the business and what they will spend their gift on.
It will assist them to look more at the business in depth.
It also creates duplication, a sense of urgency and makes them feel they are doing a GREAT

To Contact your PSAs through SFI (e.g. PSA Mailer) or directly via their email address I think you should try both.

The reason being... If you post a question on your email that has to be answered by them, you will find what email is important to them and communicate that way.

You may want to make sure they have white listed SFI mailing in you affiliate center for personal email so it doesn't get bounced back.

Sometimes our mailings are limited, so a back up plan

SFI's most important tool for building a successful business starts with YOU!
Verbal face to face communication I feel is the best tool for building a successful business.

Giving a gift of a flyer, business or gift card for whatever your contact is interested in at the time of contact. That way they have something valuable to take with them to read later.

As far as online resources? I feel the SiteMap is a very valuable tool! Everything that has to do with SFI is located

"What do you do on a daily basis to promote your SFI business?"

I always have my ready to go promoting items in my vehicle and when I get out of the vehicle I make it a habit of grabbing at least (At Least) 5 items. Whether it be a flyer, business card, wave3 card, Tripleclicks flyer, ECA info.
It is important to carry little day type planner big enough to hold a few of everything in it, I then use my judgment. I judge the people by the way they look and what they are doing

I sure do think it is! Aside from SFI, let’s say you have a brick and mortar store and you send a coupon to the surrounding neighborhood oh… every other month. Something will come up one day and one will say oh! I need an (XXXX), I know I have a coupon for that place! I think if you stay persistent and keep emailing them and even forgetting about them while

I would recommend the 125 Tcredits. They are useful to your business because, you can use them to bid on PSA’s (Personally Sponsored Affiliates), CSA’s (Co-Sponsored affiliates) both help your business grow and help you make an income/paycheck. You also can purchase many things with them like leads/hits, eBooks to learn more about business things, auction bidding

Depending on what your business is in need of. …

Do you want to bid on PSA’s or CSA’s to grow your business?

My opinion is the PriceBenders Auctions. Why?
Bidding on Pricebenders auctions will also give you Member Reward Points (MRP), Action Points and Sales/Purchase Points (Depending on the particular item).

If one is not a born leader, they can still be an SFI Leader! A passion to help others because when their down line does well, they do well. Leadership: It can be learned. One can read leadership articles, learn on the SFI site, many sponsors are there to help in succeeding. I think once they get the rank and badge and their first PSA, CSA and see that they are helping them grow, they themselves grow inside.

Then... Is Born a New Leader!

Which is better to pursue...CSAs or PSAs?
