The business with no online presence has the most to gain.

Just ask the shop own if they could open a store in one of the largest malls in the world and it cost them nothing up front, not even in inventory if they could see that as helping their business. Most would snap up that free store front with no out of pocket cost and tap into the larger number of shoppers.

Fact is I don't know one business owner that thinks they have enough sales and would turn down the ability to generate

The key to your question is you need to thoroughly understand the ECA program first. When dealing with businessman you need to know what you are talking about to have credibility with them.

Before promoting the ECA program to a business you do need to determine if Internet Service is available in their area and that they are willing to use it. If the Internet is new to them you may need to provide training.

TWO BIG SELLING POINTS
1. This is a RISK FREE opportunity for them

You basically have two choices there:

1) Promote them into the ECA Program while simultaneously getting them up and running on the Internet

2) Market their products through your own ECA business and show them what can be done - believe me, if you start selling their products internationally, they are going to get very interested in what you are doing

This is a quite common situation in third world countries where a lot of people make products for sale in the local

Absolutely, you should promote the ECA program to businesses that are not online or don’t have currently Internet connection. Think of the potential earning of referring businesses to ECA program, for every sale they make at TripleClicks, you earn VPs and cash royalties for life.

Before referring businesses that are not connected with the Internet to the ECA program, you’ll need to think about the feasibility:

- Geographical location. Availability of Internet connection

Dear Friend!

You can promote ECA programs to businesses that are not online or not using internet, since they would be small entrepreneurs and you are helping them to become ECA in TripleClicks and making them to move to International Market.

You can show them the benefits of becoming ECAs in TripleClicks and explain them how their business will grow and profit will increase substantially.

Help them to make a start of their business with internet and help them to

My answer to this is YES. This is the opportunity to introduce them the benefits of going online and using the internet.
You can encourage them by explaining the following benefits of going online with SFI/TripleClicks:
1. Free online store to list their products with minimal 15% commision to SFI.
2. Exposure to country wide customers instead of limited physical location, that boost increase in sales volume.
3. Potential expansion to global market.

SFI business is basically an online business. Even if there is nothing wrong when you promote your ECA program both on and offline, the business will ultimately be done mostly online. Ensure you make all these facts available to all your prospects when you are promoting your ECA program to them.

It is of no use promoting the business to prospects who have no chance of doing the business online because it is simply not designed for such people. When you explain the enormous global reach

Hello Stephen, All you need is money, so you don't have a market boundary for the promotion of ECA program.

As for your targets that have no Internet presence at the moment, consider the following:

1. They may themselves not have online presence at the moment, but may know of others who has Internet access.
2. That they do not have online presence today do not mean thay cannot start some day.
3. According to TripleClicks, the theme is "Spread the Word", so

Hello friend,

Yes, of course is my answer would be.

As we all aware that one or two decade ago, there was no much awareness of internet and online business but now the world is all about internet and business is all going online for various benefits that they would get for.

Hence, it is always recommended to provide suggestions and ways to get traditional business into online. By doing this, you are absolutely helping the person to get more business apart from what

I absolutely support promoting the ECA program to businesses who are not currently on-line or use the internet.

The SFI ECA program takes the confusion out of how to set up an on-line presence. The ECA program for these type of businesses will help them increase awareness of their products and fellow affiliates can help to market their products at a lesser cost than hiring a marketing company to do for them.

The benefits that the ECA program for businesses who are not yet on-line
