Hi, Rosafilipina Burcer.

Yes, there are many actions in SFI from which we can earn Versa Points.

All of them are geared to helping us build our business, grow our teams, make sales, earn commission, build residual income, and meet our goals of long term financial security.

For anybody who truly wants to be successful, it is not wise to neglect any of these actions.

As an affiliate grows in knowledge, experience and confidence, he/she should strive to undertake as many of these activities as he can to maximize his monthly income potential and the size of his team.

After 15 months with SFI, I have reached the rank of Platinum Team Leader (PTL) and I have maintained it for several months in a row. I intend to keep maintaining it. I am not going to neglect anything that has the potential of helping me reach my goals.

I am working with my PSAs and CSAs alike to help them understand the need to make progress every month towards the ultimate goals of building large active teams, reaching the ranks of Diamond Team Leader (DTL) and having a Strong Financial Independence (SFI).

This is how I do it:

1. I have a sizeable Standing Order (SO), close to 6000 Purchase/Sales VP.

This helps me meet the requirements on this side, and frees me to focus on growing my team and meeting the action VP requirements.

2. I select the items that make up my SO to focus my resources on what will have the greatest impact on the long term growth of my SFI business.

At least half of it goes to Tcredits. This way, I maximize the 500 VP that can be accounted from auctions.

With the new Bid and Build rules that have been published, I can expect 5 or more PSAs from the auctions as a bonus. Every affiliate should take advantage of this opportunity

I highly recommend that everybody does that and keep doing it every month.

The second area where I can my maximize action VP is the Eager Zebra games, where there is room up to 200 action VP.

Similarly, one can get up to:
- 50 VP from Product Listing
- 50 VP from Gift Certificates to our PSAs

With the 100 bonus action VP for my SO, the total action VP I can guarantee each month is: 900, in addition to the action VPs from the daily, weekly and monthly activities which will vary depending on whether the month is of 30 or 31 days, as it is in March (between 545 VP as in this month of March and 497 in the 30 day months).

Purchasing new Tripleclicks products within the first half of every month is another area where I can take action with the certainty that I will have the corresponding action points. I will have the sales points and will be given the opportunity to review every new product I bought after 15 days. Those 25 action VP for each product review can be very handy to fill the gaps.

This allows me to maintain my rank up to the level of Gold Team Leader (GTL).

3. However that may not be sustainable in the long run.

What may have more long term sustainability to re-qualify as GTL, PTL or DTL, is to devote the resources one is spending to directly build a strong and large team by.
(i). having at least one monthly unit of S-Builder Coop and
(ii). buying PSAs to Go on a regular basis.

Of course, there is no guarantee that the PSAs will be active. However, even one PSAs every two months, who works the same way I am doing, will significantly boost my business growth by the end of year.

The point is to be steadfast and continue doing it relentlessly.

It is also necessary to use sponsoring resources outside of SFI: our warm market, as well as advertising, with both free and paying websites.

Building technical skills in advertising, marketing and sales is another area of great importance with potential results that will impact our overall growth. We should be able to build websites, run blogs, use Search Engine optimization (SEO), be social media savvy.

SFI is slated to be a Billion dollars business in the next 10 to 20 years, as it was discussed in a recent Forum post. Every affiliate would be well advised to position themselves to play an important part in this tremendous potential growth.

Hello Rosafilipina,

In spite of all the helpful information affiliates in our downline receive when they join SFI, the truth is, most of them have no prior business experience, many have limited knowledge about affiliate programs or online marketing, some are not in the habit of reading much and others may not be very computer savvy.

Faced with such a vast amount of information that might as well be written in hieroglyphs, many affiliates don't know what to do or where to start, which could be the reason why they remain inactive. In order to give them a sense of purpose, I recommend they focus on a single task until they feel more comfortable: their Daily Actions (red and grey tabs).

One Daily Action in particular, visiting the Forum, allows them to meet a host of friendly and helpful affiliates who will make them feel right at home by answering any questions they may have. When new affiliates see that others who are in their same situation are able to advance and prosper, they will realize that they can too.

By repeating their Daily Actions, affiliates will become more confident about what they are doing and as their confidence grows, so will their natural curiosity. At the same time, they will be establishing a solid foundation from which to grow their business to heights they never dreamed of before joining SFI.

I would encourage new affiliates to focus on gaining VP in the following order

1) Set up min 1500 VP Standing Order - it is important to highlight the advantages of becoming a Gold Fast Track member to new affiliates, there is a lot of information/training in SFI and without your support & encouragement it is easy for new affiliates to miss the 10 day window of opportunity - this will ensure that the new affiliate starts to see results immediately as GFT members do not have be EA2 they can start earning $$$ in the first month & this action provides many ongoing benefits as well

2) start advertising your business immediately (including SFI Biz Op, TripleClicks Store and ECA Program) and encourage/support new members to follow step 1 by building a strong team you can earn monthly VP and you will also start earning direct commissions.

3) Work through the training materials, it's not a race if they have followed step 1 then EA status is already attained and the AVP available from this training can be spread over the first few months - new affiliates can then give the training proper attention rather than rushing through in order to reach EA status - if planned well the VP available for training can help the affiliate to reach & maintain Team leader status for the first few months by which time they should have built up a reasonable sized team of PSA from their own advertising efforts (step 2) and CSA from shares of second home CSA & CSA awarded for maintaining EA status.

4) Daily / Weekly / Monthly tasks from To Do list - keep up to date with news etc

5) Auctions / Games / Shopping etc in your TripleClicks store - great fun but does not grow / add long term value to your business so should not be at the expense of steps 1 - 4 as they are all aimed at building a stronger business model and long term residual income.

Good Luck!!!

All the actions necessary to earn VP are contained in your To-Do-List or VP Ledger and all of them are important one way or the other to attain your stated objectives. However, objectives differ with individuals and how important a particular action is depends actually on the objectives of each member of your downline as far as earning VP is concerned.

For example, a team member who wants to concentrate on sales will need to focus on a different set of actions to earn the necessary VP from another who wants to develop an active team. Now the issue will be if one of these 2 areas is more important in building a more sustainable and a more successful business in SFI; I think it is important to focus on both, but since your question specifically asks for the action to recommend I will vouch for team building (Team Leadership and Support) VP for the following reasons:

1. Team building is very encompassing because it tends to cover other areas from which you can earn additional VP like when some of your team members purchase products from TC, when they join the ECA program etc

2. Team members are more likely to engage in consistent and repeated actions therefore ensuring the continuous flow of VP into your account.

3. It is more sustainable to benefit from an active team because it is an inevitable part of building a successful business because of the potential to earn residual income as a result.

4. You may also earn VP match as a result of your pursuit of team support VP

Now let me demonstrate the overall benefits of team Support VP as follows:

You have the potential to earn unlimited VP from team support + VP from their purchases + VP when they become ECAs + VP Match (includes Fast Track Bonus) + Direct Commission + Co-sponsor Commission + ECA royalties + EZ game matching prizes etc

Note also that VP match can be earned up to generation 12 in the case of your PSAs.

Now, if you compare these benefits to say, the benefits of recommending one of sales VP, ECA VP or any other VP action for that matter, you get far less benefits. For example, only 2 benefits each from sales (Direct commission + VP) and ECA (Royalties + referral VP).

You can see why I recommend Team Leadership and Support VP to my downline if I have to choose one as you requested. This will not only give the benefits mentioned above, it will also be a motivation for advancement and the appetite to aim higher, by working harder, in order to earn higher.

Sales Versa Points (sVP) is rather easy to earn. Every product in TripleClicks has VP value. When you purchase the product you are given the VP value for the product.

Action Versa Points (aVP) is needed to obtain the higher ranks in the compensation plan in SFI. Action points are given according to the “activities –action” that you are preforming as a daily, weekly and monthly activity.

Sales VPs and action VPs are combined to determine your position on the VP Leadership board and the total also determines how many shares of the Executive Pool you will receive. (1 VP [sales/action] = one share of Executive Pool).

To climb higher in rank and perks with SFI and TripleClicks you need a combination of sales VP and action VP. The totals of each type of VP will differ between the ranks – with the totals of both increasing with each increase in rank (or Team Leadership Levels).

Because sales VP are easy to obtain we need to set our focus on obtaining action VP. Now comes the question just what do we focus on the most to gather the highest number of action VP that is needed for the different Team Leadership levels?

It is wiser to train your teammates (down-line) to collect the action VP from doing their to-do list every day. There are many other ways to obtain action VP but those should be considered optional.

Why do I suggest this?

1. It is easy to duplicate
2. Affiliates can gather over 400 action VP each month and only have to acquire another 1,100 VP in sales to make EA level.
3. This system can be done with the lowest overhead cost than any other way.

Action VP can be collected or earned and even won in many other ways but it is necessary for each affiliate to get in the habit of collecting the daily, weekly and monthly action VP. By doing this they will learn how to train their own down-lines how to easily collect action VP without spending extra money to acquire them.

Action VersaPoints are best to be earned each day little by little as this is how by the end of the month an affiliate can achieve on-going success.

It is encouraged through SFI to start a Standing Order as soon as possible to generate a minimum of 1500 Versa Points each month to sustain an affiliate profile to be minimally an EA2 - this is a good strategy for any affiliate - new or experienced with SFI,

There are action tasks identified in an Affiliate's To-Do List Tab - have down line members consider what they believe they can do each day - have them focus on a minimum of 10 tasks to complete on their To-Do List - this will have them earn Versa Points each day as well as have an earned extra entry for the Daily Grand Prizes. Daily earned Versa Points of a minimum of 10 will have affiliates earn various badges which will be displayed with their profile for others to see...added benefit to earning Versa Points.

The above is simply 2 strategies to share with down line team members - as a minimum to complete for each month he/she is with SFI.

Now, it is also important to encourage affiliate members to consistently perform 1 additional task each month which will earn them Versa Points meanwhile will grow their business. Discuss with them the various ideas that are shared through SFI training modules such as Launch Pad Lessons or even other marketing strategies which can earn them additional Versa Points such as but not limited to the following ideas:

Distribution of TripleClicks Gift Cards - one card (electronic or hard copy) can earn the affiliate 10 versa points as per the program structure outline by SFI,

ASK SC - encourage affiliates to add their own answers to questions that are submitted into ASK SC so that they can earn on a regular basis VersaPoints every month; each answer submitted can earn a 1 place, 2nd place or 3 rd place rating which then earns VersaPoints,

Eager Zebra Games - this can earn affiliates up to an additional 50 VersaPoints each month. Affiliates who purchase T-credits as part of their Standing Order can then use the T-Credits to play games. All Games that are offered provides an opportunity to win extra goodies such as T-Credits, Versa Points or even credits to continue playing games.

PriceBender Bidding - is another way to earn Versa Points with the use of T-Credits. Personally I enjoy playing the bidding war against others for products that I hope to win (deals are great by the way) and each bid earns me 1 Versa Point along with MRP's - this definitely has a lot of benefit for the affiliate.

The most important thing to remember is to consider what the affiliate believes he or she is capable of managing in order to earn their Versa Points. The easier the means to earn the Versa Points then the more likely the affiliate will consistently perform the tasks to earn their points.

There are also other ways to earn points - all of which are structured through the To-Do list so be sure to demonstrate how the To-Do list helps to organize not only daily tasks but also weekly and monthly. All tasks listed on the To-Do list guides all affiliates to earn VersaPoints on a consistent basis.

I teach my downline to always do the DAILY ACTIONS and the weekly review of the TConnect page every day and every week without fail.

There are several very good reasons for this:

1. There are 330 to 350 VP from these actions which form a good base for qualifying as EA.

2. It reduces the need to use up once only, irreplaceable Action VP. While you can't replace any action VP, i.é.even the Daily Actions once missed cannot be replaced, but a new lot comes up every day.

3. By doing the Daily Actions properly, you learn so much about the business that you will get more and more ideas on how to succeed.

4. By getting at least 10 VP every day you earn at least 1 chance in the Daily Grand every day, which may earn you up to 200 VP or a Prestige Domain or CSA's or 50 MRP, and winning a prize in the DAILY GRAND might be all that is needed to get you going. One of my PSAs got to EA2 recently by winning 200 VP. It saved her from buying TCredits to get there.

For me there are two top VP task to focus on, because of their effect on your earnings and long term success.

By far the largest share of VP earned will come from sponsoring new PSA to SFI, because not only do you make 100 or more VP per month when they achieve EA2 or higher rank, but once you become a Team Leader you will earn matching VP off the actions and sales of all EA2 or higher you have referred, and any in their team, and those on several levels, (up to 12 levels) below you. Every EA2 in your 1st Generation is worth a minimum 1600VP per month and those in the lower tiers are worth a minimum 1500 VP per month each but getting there requires favorite source 2 to be achieved first.

Source 2 in terms of favorites is actually the first thing you need to figure out for long term success in SFI.

Sales VP are where income is generated and money saved as well. As nice as transfer buying is in theory a lot of things you simply pay more for buying online, because of shipping cost. A Transfer buy is usually limited to things that are comparable price after the shipping is done or that don't require shipping. Some products like this are nutritional and weight loss items, vitamins, some cleaners, magazine subscriptions, website hosting, content creation services, paid advertising etc..

Generating sales however is not limited to a budget as some people online have massive budgets or no limits at all to what they can buy and spend massive amounts on electronics, gifts, jewelry, clothing, art, collectibles, automotive parts, and more. When you learn to reach the people who are actively buying the products we sell at TripleClicks you will achieve a couple things.

The first is that you will be in profit faster as it takes time to have a large enough downline of active members to generate life changing amounts of Versa Points, but as little as one good customer can put you in profit every month because of the 45% of the Commission Volume you get as a Direct Commission. Get a couple hundred regular shoppers with sizable gift list and you could make $30,000 a year or more just from tier 1 commissions.

The second thing you achieve is experience in selling that you can teach your PSA to duplicate and pass down to their PSA etc..

When you teach you will help these affiliates earn money faster and nothing motivates you more than getting that first commission check except getting your first [b]BIG COMMISSION CHECK.[/b] The fact is 80% of the affiliates who quit after 1 to 3 months of working their business do so because they haven't made any money at all, not even a couple dollar to show them they can earn commissions. They keep promoting SFI and hoping someone will place a standing order and are crushed by the 97% who wont.

By teaching them to promote TripleClicks and generate sales they will get a paycheck faster, and be more motivated and as they get to generating more sales you will earn far more VP than if they just focus on recruiting PSA and praying they place a standing order or practice transfer buying on a grand scale. A team that sells makes more money from bottom to top.

Hi Rosafilipina,

I would focus on all the action points - there are only 12 action VP per day from the red tabs and they can be achieved literally in just 15 minutes per day.

The downline should definitely do those - 15 minutes a day and you have 360 action VP at the end of the month. Then the weekly and monthly actions should be done - the weekly are just one team mail using the genealogy mailer, check the T-Connect page and 3 streams - again, probably just 15 minutes out of the week to do these and it's 152 VP for the month (4 weeks).

Creating a standing order is the next one - will give you 100 action points.

After that, it's up to the affiliate if they want to earn action points playing games or bidding on auctions, but the daily, weekly and monthly actions are very important and take very little of our time.

Best wishes!!

Their 1st focus should be to action their ‘to-do-list’ when they log in daily. Collect ALL their Daily, Weekly and Monthly VPs and do not log out until all the red tabs across the Affiliate center page have turned grey.
Don’t forget to enter the Daily Grand

Their 2nd focus should be to recruit and sponsor Affiliates. If you sponsor them well and they recruit, sponsor and start duplication, earning themselves VPs and advancing along the SFI levels, they as sponsor will also earn VPs.

There are of course other ways of earning VPs, as you rightly said, but these are the main ones I would recommend for your downline to focus on –

Collect all the readily available VPs in your ‘to-do-lists’ &
Work hard at ensuring Duplication.
