Which is better and why? Promoting SFI and TripleClicks locally and more personally...or globally via the Internet?
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 of the business, with your personal touch, personally coaching them, be it near or afar.
- Save you your travelling time. No one will be able to make an overseas trip just for coaching purposes.
- You should be able to assess your prospect’s whether he/she is serious about doing this business. Do your preliminary assessment on their behaviour, interest, financial standing etc.
- You are able to explain anything clearly if they ask and put forward questions.
- Prospects most likely will sign-up with those from the same area, someone they know.
- If you have your ECA store, you can promote your physical store to them. Again, eliminates the shipping costs & cheaper rates.
- I like this one. Gathering of SFI Affiliates. For fun. With family and friends. Once or twice a year. Off from SFI business topics for a day! Make sure your holiday mode is ON for your Daily VP Streak.
Doing locally and personally requires so much of your time. This is the main minus point in doing so. You will need to have a super good time management and superb in setting your priorities.
Globally via the Internet, you can do basically anything, with Internet access.
- You have Mr Google to help you find anything, how to market online, how to start prospecting, how to do your blogs, how to set-up your website, how to spot a good Leader, where to advertise free, free website, free traffic exchange... and the HOW continues. You will get all the answers. Do your reading, not only read SFI Basics, Launchpad and all the tools by SFI, take the initiative to learn and get extra information pertaining to our SFI business. This might help those without internet marketing experience.
- Reaching out to contacts outside your country is not a problem at all. You have Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and so on, that you can use to advertise, to promote, to make new friend and all.
- Free marketing tools provided by SFI/TripleClicks – use them freely and creatively to attract more prospects to your site, blogs, social media etc.
- Send Ecards, Group/Individual mails to your PSAs & CSAs around the globe. You are able to communicate, show your appreciation for work well done.
- You are able to initiate your group webminar via internet. Use Skype for video conferencing.
In summary, when it comes to promoting your SFI and TripleClicks business, locally or globally, I would recommend that you should use both methods. List down the pro and cons, draw up a systematic plans and execute them wisely.
