Skillful members in the team is what everyone hope to have and dream of.It is very important (almost crucial) to recognize those members on time and pay more attention to them (as said,"work with workers").

What are the skills that such person should have?
In my opinion,it's these abilities:
- to learn new things
- to focus on work
- to have positive view on oneself,as well on the job and the company
- to communicate with others
- to listen and follow what is being told
- to start,keep going and not to stop
- to successfully solve problems on the way
And other abilities,beside these ones.


How to identify those skills in someone?

I would advise you to watch these parameters and criteria:
1. First and foremost - logging every day and performing at least daily actions.Doing so will:
- start process of duplication (even that person's might still not be aware of that)
- building reputation (earning badges,advancing in E365 contest,increasing power rank,etc.)
- building "business" mindset (creating attitude to treat this opportunity as a real job)
Just to name few major advantages of doing minimum from "To do" list.

2. Completing all (or almost all) other getting-started actions (and later weekly,monthly,intermediate actions and Launchpad).Among which these are most important (for a new member):
- confirming your registration
- whitelisting [email protected]
- completing your Affiliate Profile
- sending your SFI Commitment Message to your sponsor
- uploading your photo to the Affiliate Center
Because those are the preconditions for becoming "Fast Track" member.

3. Advancing in each and every way.I'll just list couple of things:
- becoming Fast Track member (e.g. ordering New Member's Pack),becoming W3 member,putting a standing order,S-Builder Co-op
- earning different badges
- passing the rounds ("green line") in E365 contest
- winning Pricebender's auction(s),playing and winning Eager Zebra games
- opening ECA store
- building his own/her own team
- advertising and marketing SFI and/or Tripleclicks,by marketing aids and methods from SFI web-site (Gift Cards distribution and the rest)
All in all,following your plan of success or even creating their own plan (under your supervision).

4. Active in communication.Which,for example,means:
- asking questions on various topics (how SFI works,how to earn here,develop business,open ECA store...etc.) and eagerly waiting for an answer
- answering your e-mails,team messages,chat sessions,joining your Facebook group (if you have such),attending webinars

5. Being present in the community:
- showing each day on your "movers" list
- making and enhancing number of "a2a" friends
- taking part in posting in the SFI Forum (and also getting "likes" for posting)

6. Not stopping after first failure.Even that our affiliate may face with some kind of failure at some point of time,he/she will not stop (and cry like a baby,refusing to start again),but will have strength to overcome the problem and continue to grow his/her business.


The more of above said one has,just keep on expanding his/her abilities and the more likely is that he or she will become "a star" (future Diamond).

PPA (Pay Per Action) program may look as an "easy money" scheme,and I admit when you read it that it looks tempting.

But...let's see how PPA works.
And what it brings you and what it takes you away.


Definition from glossary:
"SFIPPA is an optional, supplemental income program available to all SFI affiliates. Income is earned by getting others to take actions–such as filling out forms.
Each time you generate a qualified SFIPPA action, you'll earn a bounty. The amount of the bounty varies depending on the action."

In short,when someone signs up via your referral link,then such person is compared to other (non-PPA) affiliates,through Versa Points (average points scored).
Now,if your (PPA) affiliate has nearly same average score of VPs as the non-PPA affiliates,you will earn something from that.But if your affiliate is way far away from the average score,you earn nothing.

What it tells you?
It tells us that only if you secure QUALITY affiliate to SFI,you will get some reward for it (which is absolutely logical,in terms of business).


Now,think a bit further.
You have enabled (via PPA program) SFI to have a quality affiliate.Such affiliate,left all alone and with no human guidance (those members never even make a contact with someone from SFI),made somehow to reach average score of other affiliates,that had someone to teach them (their sponsors-human beings).

Does it comes to your mind now:how much "your" affiliate could have achieved if someone was there to guide him/her?Don't you wonder that?
But,instead of it,you have decided to just take some bonus out of it and to leave him/her to somehow find own way out alive.And even when you receive that bonus for your PSA,you should not be happy,but instead you should be sad:it means that someone else is getting all the benefits for having a successful PSA,and it won't be you!


All in all,I heard from many Team Leaders advice - it's better not to start such program,but save your PSA for yourself.

Fast track 2.0 can improve your business in many ways.
I'd divide it into 2 groups:benefits from your actions and benefits from your team members actions.


From you actions,you will have:

1. the most attractive thing is that you - as a fast track member - will be earning 10% more of shares of Executive pool each month - FOREVER (as long as you keep EA status each month and minimum of 20$ of buying or selling).That's really awesome,in years to come.

2. bonus of 250 action VP.

3. as a team leader and with a fast track member badge,you will give your team example of what to do.Looking at what you did they will follow you in process of duplication.



From actions of your team members,you will have:

1. at the first place - bigger commission.You will have direct commission (45% of the CV of the item purchased) and ALSO through matching points (the more VP they make you will earn more).Matching points can be rewarded if you are team leader (rang BTL or more) and your team members have EA2 status (which they certainly would be,if they are fast trackers).

2. better focus on those to who to work with.Fast track 2.0 can serve here as indicator.It is VERY important to recognize workers in your team,so you can pay more attention to them.Remember golden rule:work with workers.

Well,you'll never know 100%,but here are some indicators that may help you about that.

You'll know that your PSA is serious about this business,if he or she:

1. Log in daily and work (earn VP) daily.This is the basic condition.You see your PSA or CSA everyday on "mover's tab".
2. Becomes registered on Trippleclicks.
3. Become fast track member and has a standing order.
4. Listen what you say and follow your instructions.You can check that easily (by results).
5. Ask lots of good and constructive questions.Not the ones like "Can you do [something] instead of me?".
6. Take part in different aspects of SFI and Trippleclicks.For example:in Forum,in auctions,in W3 program,in playing games,in a2a networking....
7. Is ready to learn and adopts new knowledge fast.Here is vital to understand "compensation plan".
8. Puts the new knowledge fast in the practice.Which means forming his/hers own team (process of duplication) and bringing new ECA to Trippleclicks.
9. enter different contests here.The most important one is E365 (in which he or she is always above green line and eventually end up as a finalist).
10. Receives always new bonuses.Bonuses are given (by company or sponsor) only for something extra done.
11. Badges on his or her profile keep multiplying.Which are result of work done.
12. Is not demoralized or disappointed after first month's payment.
13. From the beginning has a POSITIVE view on all of this and work this job with love and joy.


All this above in one:
When you look at your PSA and you see that he or she is GROWING each and every day,and that process HAS NO END,that you'll know he or she's the right one.You found a gold mine,pay full attention to it!

That is the problem some of us are facing with,when going to a place with no internet coverage (somewhere deep in the mountains or on isolated island).


The best way to maintain our SFI position is to have standing order set before you leave.Is should be at least standing oder that brings you 1500 VP.


When you have that set,you should think of what will happen with your team while you're away.If you have many well trained individuals then you're lucky,since they will have their business done even without you.But for those that are still not very experienced in SFI,you may need still to support them.


First of all,let everyone know when and how long you will be absent.That means your downline,as well as your upline.Inform them,so they are not surprised when they see you're gone.

Tell your downline to continue with their everyday duties here.If they have some difficulties or problems then to contact certain person from upline (that you will specify who is it) about.The good idea is to exchange number of telephones,so you can hear over the phone (or via SMS) about some emergency cases.Or,another good idea,is to get some of your downline signed up to a mailing list (with a auto-responder set) - for those of them who will need everyday guidance.In that way you will get them informed about what to do each day.


Also,tell your upline if they are able to pay little bit more attention on your team,if they're able.Try to find one person from upline that will be your "deputy" - to answer daily needs of your team while you're away.After all,it's that persons' team (downline) too.


If there's a chance to find somewhere internet coverage on the way - use it to the maximum ;)

There are 8 Eager Zebra games,that can be found here:
https://www.tripleclicks.com/indexContests.php


Playing games is useful because of following:
1. getting free credits
2. earning commission through promotion
3. getting action VP
4. for relaxing


Firstly,playing games gives you a chance to win a share of daily Zackpot (in most of cases) and earn credits (TC).If you're good in one or more of them,you can easily get extra TC (apart from the ones you get from your standing order or W3 program),which you can use for different activities on Trippleclicks (biding on auctions or buying products,for example).
Here I would specially point out T-Time game,which is super-easy to play,just click on the picture and you're already in!Each hour there is drawing,and you can win 2 free TC.


Secondly,you can promote them with your gateways,and earn commission through PRMs (personal referred members).You can find your Eager Zebra gateways here:
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/GatewayList
When your PRM comes to play games here,he or she will need credits for it (in most of cases).And when he or she buys it - you earn commission!


Thirdly,with every credit you spent on entering to some of the games you get 1 action Versa point for it!You can play as much as you like,but you're limited to maximum of 200 action VP per month that you can get from Eager Zebra games.


And,after hard working hours on SFI you can use it for fun.Play some of these games and enjoy!


And also,don't forget - while playing games you earn some nice badges too!

I allocate my time all over the day.Piece by piece.


I would say that % of certain activities depends on status you are at the moment.If you look by percentage,in my case it would be communications 20%,marketing 30%,training 50%.And I am EA2.

But while I was EA and AFF main focus was on training:communications 10%,marketing 10% and training 80%.

While I believe when you are team leader (e.g. BTL or higher),then it gets different:communications 50% (including training others to follow your steps - process of duplication),marketing 40%,training 10%.


Like I said,I divide my allocated time for SFI and Trippleclicks all over the day.At the beginning of day communications has it most,together with marketing.Answering questions of my downline,helping them overcome problems plus doing marketing.

During the day I also do some marketing and at the evening training (reading,reading,reading) plus little chatting online with team members and setting plans for the next day or next week.


If you do smart division of activities on SFI along the day you'll feel relaxed doing this job and you will do it with love.

MRP (Member Reward Points) are what SFI gives us as a kind of reward for,generally speaking,spending money or T-credits within Tripleclicks web-site.

From this (knowing how you can spend money or T-credits on TC) you can make conclusion how can you generate MRPs.It's when we:
- shop in TC store (next to each item is description how many MRP we will receive)
- download music from TC store (it's also shopping;gets you 5 MRP + 1 action VP)
- play games (each payed entry is 5 MRP and also 1 action VP)
- bid on auctions (each placed bid is 5 MRP,except in Double MRP auctions,where you get 10 MRP per bid;along with MRP you get also 1 action VP for every bid)
- take part in promotion (if you become Wave3 member for only 1.99$ - payed only once - you'll get each month 50 MRPs plus other interesting free stuff)
- entering E365 contest and maintaining certain level of advancing (so called "green line") - we get free MPRs at the end of some rounds


Note that you can't actually buy MRPs (per se).
But with MRPs you can buy a lot of things.
And that's the best usage you can get from them.


I'll divide benefits into two large groups:
A. Helping yourself
B. Helping others (and therefore yourself too)

A-1:buying single T-credit (for 126 MRP).I guess most popular way to use your MRP (many members do it).
- Why is that good?For maintaining your EA (or higher) status.It's well known already that when you buy single T-credit,for that you totally get:1 TC,102 VP and 5 MRP.So,if you buy 15 single TCs (with totally 15*126=1890 MRPs),you're already EA.

A-2:buying T-credits.Also popular way to use MRP.
- Why is that good?There are many ways to use T-credits.For playing games,bidding on auctions,buying from TC,listing things you don't need anymore,etc.For all the great ways to use your TC,check here:https://www.tripleclicks.com/MightyTCredits.php.

A-3:buying stuff that will help you grow your business.
Top choices here are:S-Builder Co-op pack,PSAs to go (10 or more in a pack),books that will help you educate yourself.
- Why is that good?I think it's obvious that with S-Builder and PSAs to go you'll enlarge your team.And books help you knowing ways how to successfully lead online business.

A-4:buying other stuff you like ("Rewards" tab or else).There are around 90000 products in TC store.And thousands of them you can buy with MRPs,mostly TC direct products.And,as you see,those products are marked in 3 "currencies":American dollars,T-credits and MRPs.Use MRPs as your currency and buy stuff you like.You can especially check tab "Rewards".There you can find different products,that can be redeemed with MRPs.
- Why is that good?Reward yourself,buy for example,some electronic gadget,at special price.You'll also get MPRs and VPs for that!

A-5: (indirect benefit) getting more VPs and therefore increasing your earnings.
Whatever you do on TC (buy,play,bid,download...),you get VPs for that.And the more VPs you have the more you will earn.


B-1:buying TCs you can help your downline,by giving them TCs they need (for example,getting EA status).
- Why is that good?Well,don't forget that you can succeed only if they succeed too.

B-2: (indirect benefit) lead by example.
- Why is that good?If you buy/start something,your affiliates will probably follow your steps (you're the leader,right) and that's common benefit for all.


At the end,don't forget:
Member Rewards Points expire one year after receipt.

But I believe you'll use them before they expire,so...go ahead,the world of SFI and TC is yours ;)

There is a simple way,and there is,so to say,harder way.

Simple way is - simple.Just ask that person (say,a prospect) "In what kind of products are you interested in?".When you get the feedback,then:
1. if you have your own store (ECA) and you do have those products that person told you,then offer him or her to take a look at what you got.Before that,you can prepare some special offer (like:free shipping,discounts on multiply purchases,etc.) and then invite the person(s).
2. if you don't have it (whether the ECA or the products),but you know some other ECA (say,friends of your) that have - hey,direct prospect there.Be sure that the owner of the directed ECA knows that you sent prospect to his/her store.Today you sent him/her prospect,tomorrow he/she will send you a prospect...that's how it goes.

And there is a harder way.That is without (directly) asking.But more observing what that person orders.If you can see/find out does someone has a Standing order of something,or if he/she is bidding on some auctions for certain product and trying to win it,or to find out (if possible) of the past orders in Triplecliks (people may share those kind of news via social networks,so check it there) - that might get you some kind of idea of interests of that person.


All in all,"harder way" is harder because it is based on following or observing one specific person and habits he/she has.And it takes a lot more time and efforts then the "easy approach".
So,if you already want to know what product(s) some person would buy,then better follow mentioned easy way and just simply ask her.That will do.

Because fast track 2.0 can improve your business in two major ways:

And also you can earn through matching points (the more VP they make the better for you).But that's only if you are team leader (rang BTL or more) and your team members have EA2 status.

2. secondly,you will have better look at who is "worker".It is VERY important to recognize workers in your team on time.You know what they say:don't waste your time,work with workers.


About what to add - well,go with introducing Fast track 2.0.Give them facts in the first place.And remind them that they have 10 days to decide about it.

But also be aware not to scare them.
Explain them that this is no way obligatory thing and that they can work even without it,but then again,remind of advantages of being fast track member.
