I say both are important. You might be standing at a bus, streetcar or subway stop (I live in downtown Toronto, Canada; we have all three) and you might end up in a conversation. Time to talk about SFI and TripleClicks.

If I have to choose one, I choose globally on the Internet because of exposure and Internet accessibility.

I searched online right before I started to answer your question. 40% of the world's population has an Internet connection; 60% of the Internet connections

I have come to realize that it is to our best interest to be promoting locally and globally.

You may have more success with those who are in your local area, especially if you reside in a large city. When I lived in a large city, I had my hands full with local prospects, sometimes more than I could handle. Prospects are more likely to sign up with someone who is from their own area. This may be done because your prospects know they will be able to get better service from someone living

I believe the best answer is to do both whenever possible. To successfully build a team strictly locally might be difficult, depending on number of people available to you, but some locals on your team would be great!! And it's easier to meet with them if they are having difficulties.

By also promoting globally, your PSAs will be able to buy products from local ECAs, which helps to build TripleClicks, benefiting everyone. You will also end up with friends all over the world, and that

Each form of promotion has its own advantages and drawbacks, but I do recommend you use both as much as convenient to promote SFI and TripleClicks. Many people are not very good at meeting and talking to people one-on-one. For such people, it is better to promote the business globally via the Internet.

If you are sociable and very good at meeting people, you can use the personal method. For both methods, the success rates are mixed depending on your culture and geographical location. On

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

For a well-rounded business that will give you much success I advise that you eventually do both local and global. While it is easiest to buy a share of S Builders or to buy PSAs, there is no guarantee that they will produce active PSAs. Although they will give you experience working with the Genealogy and writing lette3rs, etc.

The first thing you should do after getting to intimately know the business is to form some kind of plan for growing your business. Whether you start local or

They both have advantages, and it depends a little on your personality and situation. Personally, when I started, I did not work on my "warm market" at all, because most people in my area have a very negative attitude about negative marketing. They don't even listen, because they think it is a scam! That's changed a little since I've started making some money

"Which is better and why? Promoting SFI and TripleClicks locally and more personally...or globally via the Internet? "

I would definitely say both. However tomorrow just happens to open the opportunity for me to present my topic in front of a group of people. Globally I do each and every day already.

Today I spent a day in school again of which I am pursuing a safety designation, and little did I know I would have to give not 1 speech but 3. I was not prepared and

Promoting every way you can is essential to making the most of your SFI business.

First - approach your local people with TripleClicks shopping and ECA. Use TC X-cards freely, there are good suggestions in SFI marketing to do this. If someone is even remotely interested, give them a gift card. Put up flyers wherever you can, use postcards, letters, phone calls and any other marketing tricks you might have.

The advantages and benefits of promoting SFI/TripleClicks locally are;

- You eliminate the language barrier by promoting to those prospects from your same country.
- Transfer of buying to your local ECA stores will save you the shipping costs.
- You have ample opportunity to meet your potential sign-up for a closer partnership and better understanding
