In SFI , everybody starts out with 0 Versapoints on the 1st day of every month. This is the process and part of the system that determines your compensation from month to month and there is no way to get around or avoid it. A lot of Affiliates still continue to miss or don't really comprehend this as they work toward building their business each month.

When you log in and score points, you become an Active Team member for that month. You want to score as many points as you can each month and then spend time, building and increasing your own group of Active Team Members. Work with this particular team of PSAs and CSAs , motivate and encourage them to log in , work their Versapoint Ledger and do the same as you. When they log in their Home Page and work the Red Tabs, they will score at least 11 pts daily and will end up with 330 pts as they work toward the monthly goal of achieving EA status. We have commonly referred to this as being on the 11/30 Plan . Most of your Active Team Members will finally get it and commit to moving up and above the 1500 Versapoint minimum requirement to maintain EA status each month. By the yard, it is hard , but by the inch, it is a cinch! It all starts small and once you gain momemtum, it is known as exponential growth! Imagine what it would be like when you build and increase your Active Team Member Base each month with everyone working the 11/30 Plan , teaching this same process to members of their individual teams. Your downline, Total Group Versapoint Activity and your Sales Commissions would increase every month until everything finally explodes!

Of course , this is the direction that most Affiliates strive to achieve, if they want to build a huge residual check each month in SFI , but it first starts with you. The question is. " How fast do you want it to happen and are you doing the right things to get the right results? ".

Just keep every thing simple, understand how the Versapoints system really works , stay focused and don't quit or give up.

Thanks again...

Zoran,

This is a good question to ask and there are can be so many opinions about this. To answer your question objectively, you can be successful in SFI without investing any money .

How to do it, of course would require you to have patience and work very hard to build your business to where it is profitable for you. Yes, it is going to take you a much longer and slower time, if you do it this way. You would have to study, read a lot, sign up a lot of Affiliates and understand SFI from all levels, if this is what you want.

SFI is so unique and so simple to work that it really flies right over the heads of most people. So many get in this business and wont take the time to understand it. They complicate things and get frustrated when things don't work and simply quit, give up or opt out.

It is true that SFI is free to join and you are not obligated to buy or purchase anything. Your training. and everything you need is already here for you if you are willing to apply yourself and follow instructions.

Hope this answer helps you....

This is a great question and I will answer it brief and not fire-hose it with some long drawn out elaborate answer. The best way to build a team with true team spirit in SFI is to first step up, learn and develop yourself by becoming a great Leader and Coach to encourage and motivate your group and continue to improve on those skills to increase your value and self worth.

Have fun, keep things simple, follow the basic format that SFI already offers and communicate that to your team and when they realize that you have their genuine interest at heart, they will look for you, get excitied about associating and working with you and will be happy to be a part of the team. Always continue to bring out the best in them.

Hope this helps
Thanks

There can be so many opinions on this question. I realize that SFI can get overwhelming to a person just starting out when they see all the things that they have to do to make the business work for them. It can also affect the seasoned affiliate when they see that they have to continue to change with what SFI offers if they want to be successful.

The key to not getting so overwhelmed would be to first get the right mindset of how simple it is to be successful in SFI. What inspires me even more is that SFI continues to make adjustments to make it easier for everyone to be successful if they are willing to follow instructions and make commitments.

Being individuals, we all want to implement our own style, our own way or our own attitudes in the process to being successful with SFI and expect our team members to follow it. This can lead to a bigger problem and should be avoided.

SFI has the system in place that works and all you have to do is be willing to follow instructions and commit yourself. Most people will not follow the steps so they sabotage their own success. Before you try to to motivate , encourage and lead others, you should first make sure that you are self motivated, have the right attitudes, and can be a good follower.

Example

I share this in our training for team members to understand some of the SFI Basics and not get so overwhelmed. Use the Power of Duplication to your advantage and get the results you are looking for to be successful.

Questions to help keep you focused and stay on track.

1. Are you on the 11/21 Plan?

It is one the simple structured directions that SFI put into place to help you and anyone else get started and stay on target as you continue to build and grow your Versapoint Activity each month.(I named it the 11/21 Plan). If you log in your SFI Home Page and work your Red Tabs each day you will score 11 pts daily, stay active and remain on the right road to building your Versapoints every month. If you are doing that, you can get others on your Team to do the same , which is putting the Power of Duplication to work for you.

2. Are you committed to doing what is necessary to score as many Versapoints as you can, maintain your EA status and make the Top 300 List in VP activity each month?

SFI directs you to work your Complete Versapoint Ledgerboard and learn to score as many points as you can each month. Making EA and maintaining your status sets the pace to maximize your earnings and earn a residual check. Scoring more pts means a higher payout percentage in VP commissions. If you are doing that, you can get others on your team to do the same and let the power Power of Duplication work for you.

3. Are you making sponsoring a regular routine to easily grow your business with new PSAs?


SFI suggests that you share this opportunity with others. The key is to constantly bring new people into your group.This is the life blood of your business. Develop a good sponsoring attitude and it will make the process much easier for you to recruit people. If you are doing that, you can get others on your team to do the same and definitely get the Power of Duplication working for you.

Note:
We are getting great results and our team is growing each month!

Bolajoka, this a good question and I'm sure you will get a lot of answers with various opinions on this one.

Trying to convince an affiliate giving up on SFI to continue in the business is indeed a great challenge. The thing you have to realize is that they can quit or opt out anytime.This is a sensitive situation and you have to learn how to handle it tactfully.The best way is to prepare yourself very well, for it is going to happen a lot in this business.

I said that to prepare you for the inevitable. You have to know how to let go.Some have not learned this yet,and can easily get aggravated and down in spirit when an affiliate decides to give up,quit or opt out. SFI handles it very simple and professionally so I would take the same route too.( It's okay and it will be alright).

I would always be encouraging and be there to support them as much as I can.I can lead them to the water, but I can't make them drink it.Sometimes we want the business more for them than they want it for themselves and if they are not willing to follow instructions and make commitments,there is nothing more that you can do.Then,you frustrate yourself by being in a convincing or prodding mode to make them work or do the business which will eventually take a toll on you.

You want to have fun in this business,keep things simple and build unlimited income. Notice how SFI is always improving and adding new changes, making it simple for everyone to easily become successful.

I present the SFI compensation Plan as the most important aspect of their training and I always relate to my group to study the Compensation Plan thoroughly in order to get paid well. Most new Affiliates will jump in the business with a big bang , make EA their first month and never take time to totally understand how they get paid so when they see their first check, they become disillusioned, disappointed and frustrated because it is so small. Then, they lose their motivation and excitement and feel that the business is a waste of time so they opt out, fall by the wayside or eventually quit. Does that sound familiar?

To eliminate that , I always try to encourage my group and let them know up front that this is not a quick get rich business.They can have achieve unlimited income but it is going to take time and patience. They will be working towards growing a monthly residual check and if they focus on doing the right things that get results, they can expect to see it increase every month. The Compensation plan allows you to get paid so many different ways so when you you know how it works, you can focus your work efforts towards achieving the results that you want.

In training my group to help them understand the Compensation plan, make money and be successful in SFI,there are a few questions that I ask them in order to stay focused and be on track.

Example Questions.....

1. Are you making EA and doing what is necessary to maintain your status each month?

2. Do you have a Standing Order set up?

3. Are you scoring as many Versapoints as you can each month and not making it hard by having a mindset just to score only 1500 pts?

4. Are you constantly improving yourself to be the best coach and sponsor to guide everyone in your group toward success by encouraging and motivating them to achieve the EA level in order to gain the full benefits of the compensation plan?

5. Are you shopping at our TripleClicks website and also creating your personal wishlist?

6. Are you making sponsoring a regular routine to easily grow your business with new PSAs?

7. Are you constantly adding TripleClicks Customers to your business?

8. Do you have an established team of 5 serious people who are following the example you laid out for them by maintaining EA status each month?


* These Action plans are some of the basic elements of the Compensation plan that you can commit to if you want to earn money in the business.

David, there have been so many great responses to this question.Reading gives you knowledge and power. A lot of people have shared so many motivational books and they are right on point.One should spend a lot of time in the area of self development if they want to become a great Leader, Trainer and Coach. All of the books listed below should be a part of your library to be read over and over again.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr.Joseph Murphy
The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
The Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill
7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey
How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
Live Learn Lead to Make a Difference by Don Soderquist
The Secret by Rhondra Byrne

For All SFI members,the # 1 book that I would recommend would be Future Choice..Why Networking Marketing May Be Your Best Career Move by Michael S.Clouse & Katie Jackson Anderson.

This book is a must to help you understand the Network Marketing Industry, give you the real history of how it all started and help you get the right mindset that you need in order to be successful.It will also help you erase the negative attitudes and stigmas that you may have about Multi Level Marketing and other preconceived ideas on why a person would not be successful and make money in this type of business.

Page38 Figure 4 gives a great illustration of how to put the Power of Duplication in effect by introducing 5 people into your business and teach each one to do same.I like to show a similiar example that I use in our training class to help you see the big picture.

Example
You

Level 1 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th

The First Level should be Your Top 5 people. These five are serious about the business and should be at the EA Status just like you.Notice what happens when your Executive Team duplicates what you do and it continues down for 7 levels.

Level 2 5 5 5 5 5
Level 3 25 25 25 25 25
Level 4 125 125 125 125 125
Level 5 625 625 625 625 625
Level 6 3,125 3,125 3,125 3,125 3,125
Level 7 15,625 15,625 15,625 15,625 15,625

97,655 people would actually be in your downline.

Sometimes it takes a while to really get it,and you have to hear this over and over again,but once it really sinks in and you apply this principle, you will be on the road to being successful and having unlimited income in the business.SFI enhances the same concept with a basic simplified version of what you need to do.

Learn how to FOCUS!
(Follow On Course Until Successful)

Focus on the Map. The Map is the (Minimum Action Plan) which consist of 3 Steps.

1.Become an remain an EA
2.Find 5 to join you
3.Teach them the same

Hope that this was helpful to all of you

You can offer financial support to a hard working PSA/CSA by giving them a small gift certificate as a token for their dedication and persistence in qualfiying as an EA if they are financially strapped for cash starting out.You can usually tell if they continue to communicate to you that they are broke and have no funds.You can help them if you are able,but remember that they have to learn to fend for themselves.... so don't try to continue to carry them on your back.

I would suggest that you do it sometime in their 2nd or 3rd month, especially if they have logged in and are still active.Making EA is always easy the first time out,and you want to monitor their Versapoint activity carefully going into month 2.This is the crucial point where we lose most of our affiliates,especially when they see their first check and become disappointed and disillusioned.They are at the beginning stages and have to realize that this is not a quick rich quick business and they are building a growing residual income.

You want them to go to the TripleClicks store and began to purchase products or services.They can start small by buying some TCredits and bid with them.This will get them Versapoints for their purchase and also 1 pt per bid at the auction.In addition, they will gain 5 Member points and can use them to buy credits free when their Member points grow to 126.I teach them how to rollover these points everytime to score more Versapoints and by doing this,it is their survival guide to maintain their EA2 status every month. Once the light bell turns on, they will see how easy this works and when they teach all of their downline to follow the same process, their Total Group Versapoint Activity will continue to escalate along with their residual check each month.

The key is to simply buy products and services from the store You want to wet their appetite and get them in the habit of having fun and shopping.They can easily get started with as little as 1.99 for 1 Tcredit and score 102 Versapoints in the process.
