As in most of cases,the answer is - if you can do it both!


My opinion about it is that local promotion (face-to-face) is more traditional ("old") way.Ofcourse,it doesn't mean it's bad,just...it's how it's done in the past (before internet era).You gather prospects/candidates at one place,talk to them (make presentation of the business opportunity and the company),discuss things that are not understood correctly and finally they decide to join the company or to reject given opportunity.That's typical traditional way of face-to-face recruiting in the past.

Nowadays,when doing the same,you are equipped with more helpful objects.There are gift-cards (each worthing 12$),that can serve as "bait" (figuratively speaking),so that you can attract more people to check what Tripleclicks is about.You can also print flyers,brochures,etc.

But,the bottom line here is that when doing promotion locally,you will meet local people,which is at some point a FINAL number of persons you can attract.


On the other hand...there is "wonder" of modern technology,called INTERNET!
The main advantage of doing promotion over the internet is - it's multiplicity.It is AMAZING how many persons you can reach and communicate if they have computer and internet connection.It's really unthinkable!

I agree that quantity doesn't mean quality,but still if you want some quality you need to have more quantity (so you can finally get what is worth).And internet offers you right that - quantity!

Just think why everyone's (or at least most of them) trying to advertise on FB?Because they like FB itself?Or because there are millions of people looking for a nice job - ALL OVER THE WORLD!Hm?


When promoting SFI you will need more and more people to present this business.The more people you present that,the more will follow you.And who gives you opportunity to get in touch with more persons?Local promotion or global promotion?

I agree that personal approach is more sensitive and more friendly way,but still...more is more.And you will need more.


If you can,like I said,do it both,but believe me,promoting globally has power over promoting locally.

To have face-to-face approach is more sensitive and personal way to interact with someone.However,not all of us feel comfortable doing so.


If you have problems with it,try to:
1. do preparation (use "dress code" and do all the necessary things before).Which means that you dress like "business man/woman".Many people still judge by someone's outfit (which is wrong,but still...),so because of them you have to look like they have image of a successful man/woman.
By doing the "necessary things before",I mean that you should avoid situation where,in the middle of conversation you say "Excuse me,I really have to go to the toilet".

2. "striking sentence".When approaching to someone you'll need to start conversation.By starting it you'll need something "strong" to attract their attention to the maximum possibly.However,different people pay attention to different stuff,so it's hard to make one unique starting sentence.Experiment with more and see results.

3. nice mood (smile).When smiling other are more likely to accept you.If you're uninterested or in a bad mood,think anyone will listen to you?

4. be polite (listen to them and show compassion).During the conversation people may often interrupt you with their questions,ideas,suggestions...listen to them,don't interrupt them (like they interrupted you),and don't allow that conversation turns into arguing.Try to avoid as much as possible.If you're seeing that it leads in that direction,better just stop and skip to another topic,then continue the "war".

5. beware of nonverbal communication.When talking there are some gestures we make,that actually tells more then we do (more then our words).
In spot of that,it is important to keep an eye contact.Look that person directly in the eyes.When talking and when listening.If you're talking and looking "somewhere" who knows where) it tells that you're not interested in what you're doing right now.And by that you're sending wrong message to your correspondent.

6. make comparison.Ask that person what is his idea of a great job?Or of ideal job.Ask if it might be the the job without the boss,without the strict working time,without much investment?Make comparison between the job (if any) he or she is working now,and the one you are offering.

7. expect unexpected.Conversation may have many twist and turns.However try to lead it in calm and positive way.Don't let it slips into open war.Also,be prepared that even if you explained almost everything you could and the conversation lasted "for hours" and despite all your effort - that someone still doesn't see himself/herself in that kind of business and that he/she will reject you.DON'T SHOW if you're offended,just keep smiling and thank them for the time they spared to talk to you.

8. practice.If you're shy to approach to unknown persons,then first practice on your friends.Or if you're really shy,then in front of the mirror.With more and more practicing (approaching more and more people) you will get the routine.Finally,you'll be able to talk in front of full hall!
A trick that some of successful people are doing,when talking to the full hall:they are not talking to all,they are talking to their friends in the audience.Yes,if you look better,they are talking to maybe 4-5-6 persons (friends),and all the rest are somewhere "there",listening to him.That may keep you calm.

First,see what's new at Tripleclicks and SFI.You can check it easily on "Alerts" tab (under the |Latest news") and on Tripleclicks blog (http://news.tripleclicks.com/).Read it,understand it,pass it over to your downline - along with your short comments.For example,this news now,that on every 50 bids on auctions you will get 1 free PSA,you can say like "See how SFI is improving building of our downlines".


Secondly,you can get idea from communication with your downline.From there you can get LOTS of ideas.That's why communication is VITAL in this business.

Choose some topics that some of your affiliates had objections,misunderstandings or other uncleared things.If some problem bothers one person,it may be that it also bothers another person(s).Take it,read it,understand it,offer the solution.For example,if someone comes up with issue because of blocking his/her getaway on FB,offer the resolving by giving him/her idea to do "shorten-link" (a link that will be shorten and not showing the real address where it leads).


Also,tell your PSAs some of your future plans.How you are planing to help them - maybe by translating all the Launchpad lessons into your native language?Or some other interesting topics (how to become EA,how to become EA2,how to earn more in SFI,etc.).Or maybe creating Forum just for your downline?Or to announce competition for them (e.g. whoever reaches EA2 status will get 1-2-3 PSA from you)?There are probably lots of tips you can share with them!It can serve as motivation to your team.

Point out the milestones (and other positive things) the successful members of your team have made.The ones who made it will be pleased to be highlighted and other will read it and think "Well,if he/she did it,I can do it too!".It can serve as inspiration to your team.


If it's possible,schedule a meeting.There are things called "webinars",they are just like "seminars",only via internet.People gather online and discuss some interesting subjects.


In the end,don't forget to say that they can contact you ANYTIME they have some problems.And that they will have your full support.

Hey,believe it or not,the answer is simple:do it BOTH!


Why?
Because the real success relies on these two factors:
1. process of duplication (getting new Personal Sponsored Affiliates (PSA) and teaching them to do what you have done)
2. getting new PRM (Personal Referred Members)


In first case (new PSA) you will be building STRONG team ("downline"),which will benefit you of becoming team leader by the time (the higher you get,the more you will earn).Along with many,many versa matching points (VP) that your team will bring you (from every point they earn,you will earn too - by these matching points),which means higher commission.

And your team will act like a support,it will be a growing base that will get you to the TOP!And you have to keep that base strong and steadily,so you can maintain your position that you have achieved for a very long period of time.

In this business it's not possible (or it's very hard) to succeed without building a team,so you'd better be looking into that way.


In the second case (new PRM) you will getting those sweet 45% direct commission from them.Nothing's so good like a direct cash,right?And if they are your PRM,and not PSA (e.g. not members of SFI),you will earn VP on their orders too!And you know that more VP means even more money!That's another advantage you can gain from them.

Ofcourse,your PRM can turn into your PSA.And then no more direct commission from them.But,then again,by becoming your PSA they will stronger your team (that's another brick in the wall of success that you're building here),and also you will get matching points from all of them who are EA2 or higher.



Bottom line.
If you do only team building you will gain some success.If you do only referring members to Trippleclicks.com you will gain some success.But remember:team building and duplication (through PSA) + referring and selling things (through PRM) that is the WINNING COMBINATION!
THAT is the true formula of your REAL success in this company.

As you know,in times like these,online games are popular all over the world.Not all persons are interested into playing games on computer (or on internet),but I doubt that there's a single town or city (or even a single quart!) where you can't find game fans.Even that they are adult!


Now,how to attract non-SFI persons to these games?
Well,let this be your strategy:
1. first,get yourself introduced to games (which game is about what,how it goes-basic rules,etc.)
2. then look for game fans
3. introduce them to Eager Zebra games
4. explain them benefits and advantages of this whole thing


1. Read the rules and learn the tips,and play every game few times,to see how it goes.Soon,you'll get yourself known to these games.It's not difficult,don't worry.

2. There are TONS of game fans web sites.Find them through Google.Game forums can be a good start.Remember,you are looking not for EVERY kind of game typed web site (and if you do so,I believe soon you'll get lost into maze of different places that actually don't serve you),but for a specific type of sites:the ones that are similar to the Eager Zebra games.

3. When you find some specific game fan's web site (or forum),try to present there an Eager Zebra game that is similar.You may say that you liked that game,write brief description (what it is about) and basic rules,and leave your GETAWAY.You'll find your "getaway" links on the list here (choose one):
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList
Mention also that they must register before playing,but registration is free (at the top right corner they will see "Not yet a TripleClicks Member? Join FREE here").Also,mention that they will be able play that game for FREE (since,with your getaway link,after registration they will get some free tokens - 6 I think - to play Zebra games).

4. With a good job done (what's written above) you'll interest some of game players there,and they will click on your getaway link and hopefully register.Once they register hopefully they will realize (or you will need to explain them) that they have options to play that specific game you left link for or even some other games that are on Eager Zebra too.Later,after the spend those free tokens they got initially,explain them also how to get more TC for playing.You can tell them that for "first aid" they can use T-Time game for a 2 TC (but who knows when they will get it),and for "real aid" they need to purchase/buy a pack of TC.


Few things to remember:
- you're searching for specific game type fans.
- you can try with advertising like "FREE games to play",but I believe that alone won't bring you much success.Because,today everybody's advertising with that "free games" parole.
- your brief description (or review) of the game you want to present them must be interesting.The more interesting it is,the more likely you will attract them.
- think maybe to turn them into your PSA.Because,if they're not "too addicted" into the games you offered them,they might soon get out of Trippleclicks,and you'll lose them.But,if you present them that besides playing games they can earn some REAL money here (as affiliates on SFI),then you might get them for good!That's what attracts most of the people.
- "Battle of the bands" is specific "game",which is not a "classic game" at all.There you're not looking affiliates among VIDEO games fans,but among musicians.Also,you're not looking them on game forums,but on musical forums.While promoting "Battle of the bands" highlight the "population" (number of Trippleclciks members) that can be presented music (songs) of the band interested to do so.

Hey man,there is no tricks.You just look and that's what you see ;)

It can also serve you as a marketing place to start!

And when you look at it you will see your downline ("downline" = people who are PSA and PRM):
https://www.sfimg.com/Reports/Genealogy?lg=t

I'll write you what I see,with no special tricks ('cause it's all there,and you see it,so no tricks).


First,there is tab "Basics",where you can LOT OF different BASIC informations:
- first,see what is their ID in SFI,their name and rank (AFF for affiliate,EA for Executive Affiliate,etc.)
- then,if there's jet-plain next to their name ("jet-plain" - meaning that they are eligible for Fast track program 2.0)
- then,who is their sponsor (if Generation is No. 1 then their sponsor is you)
- you can see comparing how much VP their earned last month and this month,generation,time of registration and time of last logging in
- you see also in Basics tab is some CSA has been added to him/her,and the key-code he/she registered under and then options to communicate with affiliate (team mail,regular e-mail,chat - if balloon is yellow,and special notes)

On the second tab ("Versa points") you can see their gaining of VP (yesterday,this month,last month and up to date) and their Power rank (overall,country,class).

There is third tab (with information about S-Builder),the fourth (about communication - e-mail addresses and number of telephones),then different aspects of profile of PSA,sales they made,gift certificates,geography (where are they're from),also reassignment part and T credits part (that's if you want to reward your member of downline for special achievements).


So,no tricks,you just take a look and you'll SEE ;)
The answer might be similar to "movers tab".When you take a look,you see who's progressing and who is not.There's what you get when you're vidinig it,.

Both S-Builder and "PSAs to go" are for those persons who have little or no experience in generating sign-ups,and it is bringing you widening of your downline.Even that it might look that "PSAs to go" are better choice (when it come to amount of money that we need to get them),I would give S-Builder an advantage.


Why?
Well,"PSAs to go" has indeed some advantages:the price (low price),the amount (it's bigger) and the speed (you get them instantly).And that's it.
While the S-Builder has only one,but more important advantage:it is a PROVEN way to get some QUALITY members!


This is the process how does the S-Builder work.Money from all monthly participants in S-Builder Co-op is being placed into ads (advertising):in magazines, newspapers, and on mobile devices such as cellphones, iPads, etc.And because it's pretty big amount of money (few THOUSANDS of dollars) you can get more purchased blocks of advertising that would be too risky for individuals.Also,if you're "a major media buyer",then you can get volume discounts on the advertising you buy for the co-op.


On the other hand,the "PSAs to go" work on more or less same principle,BUT with a difference:they're not able to put such much money into advertising.And with less money putted it usually means not-so-quality "tools" for attracting new members,which results less quality members.

Even more,sometimes it goes like that provider of "PSAs to go" pays some persons on the internet to create multiple fake accounts.And then instead of for example 100 PSAs to go you really get only ONE person with multiple accounts.And - what's even worse - that same person doesn't want to work here!He is only interested to get payed for creating those multi-fake accounts and that's it.He's not interested into building career here.

Not every provider of PSAs work like that,but...



All in all,don't let the price,amount and speed of "PSAs" trick you.It may look helpful,but it's help on short track.But in the long run you will see the advantage of QUALITY against QUANTITY.

It's naturally that we want to know where's the best source (or one of the best sources) of new members coming from.That's why SFI made up this power tool,called "key codes".


In short:when you are advertising or putting ads,it's not bad idea to have in mind to track the effect of it.Will it bring you more prospects?Or it won't bring you expected results?This will help you to determinate it.In next example shown you will see how.


You're having ads on different places,e.g. blog,Facebook,Pinterest,safelists or some other free or payed advertising online or offline sites.Then it's OK to put those key codes for each of them.So you can easily track lately where your members are coming from.

How to do it?
When putting your getaway link (the link that will serve to prospects to come and register here,in SFI),after your SFI ID in the link put a dot and then a key code.E.g.:
http://www.sfi4.com/xxxxxxxx.100/FREE
where "xxxxxxxx" is your SFI ID,and the key code "100" is the code you determined for a certain source (say,from prospects that will come from your blog).


After that,simply check in Genealogy.If someone registers here via one of your getaway links,you will see in Genealogy on the "Basic" tab,last column (far right),"KC" (which stands for "key codes") some numbers.Those are your key codes.And there,by checking their key codes,you will see where the new affiliates are coming from.


Note:you are only not allowed to use these key codes (they are already taken by SFI):
1101,1104,1200,1300

When meeting new prospect,most commonly question (if not first) is - what is it about?You should choose the words about explaining them.


Before anything,I must tell you that it ALL depends from person to person.
For one the turn-off factor will be that this is an American based company (believe or not,I met some persons who look everything through "political" glasses,and you know it's a fact that American government is involved in many conflicts around the world;and there's no way you can explain them anything after they hear it's "American company"),and for other it can be "turn-on" (for some America is a rich country,and working for American based company is a great thing).

See,it depends from person to person.
But OK,I'll try to present you some general turn-offs from my experience.


First off,tell no lies.They should get right picture of what is SFI about.If you're telling them something that is not like that,you may gain advantage in the beginning (get signed them as your members).But when they find out - you'll loose all their respect for you.Even if you afterwards explain them all in right way,because of that cardinal mistake you'll loose them.


Secondly,try to avoid speaking about real income in the first month(s).For most of the people I spoke with it was not-so-positive side.Since most of them have their regular jobs,and regular salary,and when they compare it with first month in SFI - many found it disappointing.Ofcourse,once again,you should not lie them and promising "millions" (even thou they can go,theoretically speaking,Platinium leader in the first month - if they wish so).I found it better to tell them that the income may vary from few dollars to few hundreds dollars,depending on how much they are working (the more the bigger,it's logical).That kind of answer usually satisfy them.


Thirdly,words "multilevel marketing" (MLM) may sound "strange" (not to use word "bad") in other's ears.Maybe to try to avoid it such phrase while talking about SFI.Because,some people already some kind of contact with MLM and a bad experience:they see it only as a way that someone else (you) wants to earn money on them.I know this is in fact MLM business,but not all people are introduced to what exactly is MLM.They have only bad experience to remind them.So better stay focused on other aspects of this job:no boss,no strict working time,holiday is whenever you wish so,possibility of making full-time business and residual income,etc.


Also,one advise:when facing someone who "knows everything about everything",who is mainly negative,who is ready to argue with you till the end of time - escape such persons and conversations about SFI with them.You're only loosing your time.
