The best way to communicate with any team member is to let them set the tone for the communication. If they want to take advantage of your help then offer it. But, remember some people like to analyze things on their own. They like to ask for help only when it is necessary. Give these people the space to do it on their own.

Others like close communication. They ask 1000 questions about everything. Answer all the questions you can and if you can't let your upline answer them. Stay in touch with this type of member until they are ready to go it on their own. Be flexible and accessible.

What are some daily marketing habits I can implement to grow my TripleClicks (ECA) business?

I love this question because I was an ECA and I believe I was on of the best. I did market higher ticket items so these products sell a bit slower but for me they are the most profitable. Really growing your ECA means that you need to have a central product theme, broad range of products in that theme, and excellent customer service.

I don't believe you can effectively do all products like a larger discount store. The cash outlay need to do this is much higher and you are probably going to have more losers than winners when it comes to product categories. So what I did was to build my ECA around one hot product theme like electronics. Then you need to offer a broad range of products in that category. Some low range, mid range and higher products work great when they are all in the same category. For example, a Lenovo laptop is going to be more expensive than a Dell. So I would offer a power Dell laptop at a considerably lower price point than the Lenovo. But you might think I wouldn't sell the Lenovo. Actually the opposite is true because price is not the only consideration in the buying process. If the prospect is looking for a status symbol in a notebook then a Lenovo is just what they are going to buy or even an Apple which cost even more! But for the personal more concerned about functionality and practically, the Dell may be a good choice because the prospect would save 100s of dollars over the Apple. Purchases are a matter of preference more than price. It's difficult to wrap your mind around this sometimes as the more expensive items cost more to stock. Profit margin has to balance with customer needs and that's how you sell anything.

As the saying is "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" customer experience is the same way. Every ECA should set out to provide the best customer experience possible but not at the expense of the business. Speedy delivery, excellent feedback, no hassle returns policy, and variety all play a major role in customer experience. However, the rating is in the power of the customer. Do all you can to get a favorable rating. It will only serve to better your customer service skills. I lost money on a few items to save the customer service experience. Image and reputation matters. So once they is lost know that you might as well close the ECA! Be courteous, polite, and available. Then after all of that sometimes you will get an unfavorable rating! Don't let that bother you as long as you did everything you could do.

Finally, having a subdomain has some advantages. That is you benefit from all the top level domain traffic that you don't have to pay for. So merely being on TripleClicks will bring traffic to your ECA (hint! ;) ) Then if you want to use all of the marketing tools available to create custom banners to sell products and attract members that's all the better. Definitely promote your own ECA and maximize every opportunity to share on social networks. Keep accurate records and get your own domain so that you can promote your own brand - YOU! To recap:

1. High demand products centered on a theme.
2. Excellent customer service - returns policy, feedback, warranty, etc.
3. Do your own marketing as well as get your own domain.

What are some good ways to promote SFI using the new signing bonuses?

This is an excellent question and there are several solutions inside of the marketing center.

1. Banners: Banners are advertising tools that you use to promote across the web on advertising exchanges. There are literally 1000s of free banner exchanges you can join. All you have to do is query 'free banner exchanges' and google will give you 1000s! Which is the best? It depends on how often you use the exchange and how many active members they have. Each exchange has different terms of service so when you register your account you have to work diligently to understand what's available. You can also use banners on your blogs, ezines, personal sites, and more. There are new banners featuring the sign up bonus so I'd definitely get the ball rolling with those.

2. Text ads: Text ads are mini statements that can be added to text add exchanges. Just like banner exchanges they have their own terms of service. So be sure to do your homework. Then use the text ads in the marketing center to promote SFI. Again, use text ads specifically geared toward the signing bonus. The ones available serve as a guide. Be creative and come up with an original one that says exactly what it needs to say to get your ideal prospect.

3. Car magnets: Yes, SFI provides car magnets to place on your car so that the world can see that you are an SFI independent business owner. While you are shopping locally, commuting, and yes even while your car is parked you are promoting your business! Your referral link is added and it should be in bold neat letters so that it can be seen from a distance. Anyone interested can just check out the link or they can ask you questions.

4. Social Media tools: There are graphics specifically designed as wall papers for your social media profiles. They build brand awareness and serve as conversation starters to get the conversation going about the signup bonus..

5. ECards: I love using E-cards because they are like miniture messages that sum up the moment with a picture. You know a picture is like 1000 words. Send an E-card to a friend, co-worker, family member, or your opt-in subscribers list. You can add a personal note about the signing bonus if you choose.

6. Phone Script: This can be a bit tricky because who ever called is not expecting to here a voice message promoting SFI. Perhaps you should be very brief and straight to the point. "Sorry I missed your call, leave a message and should you like to put an extra 100 bucks in your wallet let me know."

7. Flyers: Tried and true. Just make sure you have permission to put your flyers inside of stores, or public places like laundrymats or on community bulletin boards. Adapt the flyer available in the marketing center to customize your message for the sign up bonus.

8. Splash page design: SFI has you cover here as well. Just adapt the text so that your personal site conveys the information you need for the sign up bonus. Then use your web office interface to publish your new splash page! This requires you have a hosting account.

There are other ways you can promote the signup bonus namely just plain old word of mouth advertising. Get excited about the possibilities. Tell everyone you meet about it. Not everyone is going to like the idea but the right person will and now your journey begins.

Good products to promote during the holiday and gift-giving season are the following:

1. Impulse buys. These products cost less than 50 dollars are and likely to be a gift idea for a friend or family member, ie. books, ties, women accessories, jewelry, fragrances, shoes, men accessories, and novelty items.

2. Wishlist items. These are products that would be on anyones wish list but maybe they wouldn't buy because of budgetary contraints. What do you want for Christmas? I want a new laptop or computer. A friend my want an accessory for their computer like a printer.

3. Luxury gifts. This time of year many people get a bonus from their vocation so they are looking to buy that latest gadget or gizzmo that they have always wanted. New technology falls in this category.

The key is to promote all of these types of items because everyone is looking to buy something for the gift-giving season! Let's capitalize on it - but never forget that the reason for the season is to celebrate all that we have been given and those we love.

Chances are better for your CSAs to become active when they can work with a co-sponsor that understands them. Notwithstanding, a dead horse can't be revived. Simply saying, if someone chooses not to do what is necessary to succeed in SFI changing sponsors isn't going to help either.

But, if a person is struggling to grasp the concepts of SFI because of geographic, and communication barriers then the CSA Exchange is the best thing since white bread! Why not give the CSA the best possible chance to succeed by working with a co-sponsor that understands them. This said, I do plan to put all of my inactive CSAs in the exchange. I'll phase them out of my genealogy and just maybe I'll get a CSA that can understand me and do dynamic things here at SFI.

Your business is just that yours. You can spend your TCredits as you deem fit but only 500 AVP can come from Price Bender auctions. So if you have more TCredits than this then consider placing more into TCredits Welcomes. This special promotion gives TCredits to your new PSAs so that they can immediately began contributing to the Executive Pool. You may also consider having a contest where you award TCredits to movers for their accomplishments.

Finally, you may decide to just bid on more merchandise that you can use in contests, or flip for profits. In my honest opinion, you really need a good bidding strategy if you are going to invest your TCredits in further auctions after your have accrued the 500 AVP. Nevertheless, you earn up to 10 MRPs for every bid you place depending on the auction. Again, a good strategy is key to getting the most out of your TCredits. All expenditures support the EP but probably are not helping your business cash flow. So sales of TripleClicks merchandise and purchases in right proportion is the key to business cash flow.

The best way to encourage network sales is to practice and teach the principle value of a transfer buy. Transfer buying is taking some of the disposable income that you already spend and transferring those purchases from the local market to your TripleClicks store. Since many affiliates complain about not having any money, you simply must help them to realize that supporting their TripleClicks store should not cost them money but save them money.

Here are just a few of the benefits of transfer buying:

1. You can achieve Team Leader status buy leveraging the power of up to 3,000 VP from your transfer buy.

2. Always comparison shop for prices. If the price is only a couple of dollars difference between the transfer buy and your local market, go with the transfer buy. Why? Remember, you earn MRPs for shopping your TripleClicks store. You don't get those locally. Those MRP can be use to purchase a wide variety of products. Check for free shipping to save even more.

3. If you set the standard for your team they can see your shining example. You can't expect people to do what you are not willing to do.

4. Shopping your TC stores saves you the hassle of long checkouts, crowded malls, and the stress of driving or walking to the store. More time to spend doing your favorite activity.

5. You can set up an additional rewards system for every one that follows your shining example. Assign TCredits, PSAs, or a gift certificate. That would just make shopping TripleClicks that much sweeter of a deal.

6. Let's not forget, that supporting TripleClicks sweetens the pot for everyone that is an SFI Executive Affiliate--more support will just make shares worth more money!

The only way I have found that really encourages downline members to participate in Pricebenders is participation yourself. I participate in auctions and post my wins. I share tips on my youtube channel and social channels. I post pics of some of the prizes I win & sell. This is the best way to encourage participate. If someone asks for a small gift certificate I usually award it. But people really have to try it to like it. You don't get hooked by watching or learning. You have to play to win and make it fun win, lose, or draw!

TCredits are the main currency of TripleClicks. Every member must convert some form of currency into TCredits which can be used to play Eager Zebra games, bid in auctions, for listings, downloads, and even pay for merchandise. TCurrency is purchased from a TripleClicks ECA as a alternative means of payment when other payment options are not available on account. TCurrency is to be used with the LocalPay program so members can find merchants that will convert Local currency into TCurrency.
