Convincing a prospective ECA that TripleClicks (TC) can be great for local sales may be more effective if you based your prospecting locally. This is because your knowledge of TC and your understanding of the dynamics of the local area will give your more ammunition to make your case.

In any prospecting endeavour, including for ECA, what you need to sell are the benefits so let your prospective ECA know the following:

1. The approximate number of TC members and SFI affiliates who reside in or are in close proximity to the locality, which are a significant part of his/her customer base.

2. Another important point to make is that these members and affiliates will likely reciprocate the local presence by helping to promote the products because they may have some understanding of the local environment and may want to take advantage also.

3. You should display a vast knowledge of the operations of TC and the locality to the prospective ECA. This is important in order to be taken seriously because you are going to present yourself as somebody who will be there to render assistance and provide guidance that are pertinent to setting up a locally based successful ECA store.

4. See something in the attractiveness of your prospective ECA's products that affiliates and members will like and point these out to your prospect. Let your prospect know that there are locally based affiliates and members who have difficulties getting these products internationally, so will be happy if they can source same locally.

5, Let the prospect know that there is a 'will call' option, in order to reassure the prospect that he/she may not necessarily need to ship all sales; meaning buyers will come and pick up purchases from the ECA store directly.

6. You have to also reassure the prospective ECA that several affiliates have payment option problem and this is one area he/she can exploit as he/she can participate in the Local Pay program, in order to increase potential customer base.

7. You may need to demonstrate to your prospect testimonials of other ECAs that have successfully carried out a locally targeted ECA store.

8. Do not be too casual in your appearance and attitude, be professional and display a high level of integrity, but be sociable.

9. People like sellers who are straight with them, so be ready to talk about the 15% charge on any sales and explain why.

You need to also realise that some may be very skeptical to associate their business with any online organisation, so your first duty may be to convince your prospective ECAs of the benefits of opening an online store and why TC is an attractive place to do that, before you go Local.

Local sales has new boundaries. The economy is a global entity - what is sold in one country is purchased by another, what is sold from one business is consumed by another business, what is advertised by a business owner will peak the interest of consumers.

1. We are part of a global economy - it is that simple so the use of the ECA program is an excellent way to promote local sales. SFI has customers waiting, 2000,000 million members, to see products on TripleClicks that he or she can purchase.

2. Local businesses on the other side of the world using the ECA program are able to connect with me directly on the other side of the world and have presence and branding exposure through the TripleClicks on-line store.

3. Product awareness increases when using on-line presence. SFI has created an on-line store front that does not cost more than is currently being spent by the local business, meanwhile, the local business does not have to do much set up as TripleClicks has all part of business transactions figured out that all that is needed is the local business to plug-in and let the product or service they offer gain exposure through TripleClicks.

4. Local purchasing power can maximize or cap out which means the local businesses are having to connect with local buyers repeatedly and this can cause a saturation of the market - aka boredom of the product. A local business to use the ECA program widens the geographic connections globally - thus new markets to promote to and more potential customers to sell to and network with.

5. Local sales supports a local economy - the ECA program with TripleClicks supports the global economy...that alone is enough to have someone sign-up. Globally there are billions of people - potential customers and affiliates - why not advertise world wide...

These are considerations to share with prospective ECAs.

Hi Moses!

You don’t have to convince prospective ECAs that TripleClicks can be great for local sales. You just tell them the benefits that they will benefit by being ECAs at TripleClicks.

Tell them that by being ECAs at TripleClicks:
>>they will have their products online for free.
>>local people can shop online, if they like, they can do local deliveries as well.
>>they will gain more customers, since local affiliates and PRMs will start supporting them.
>>they can grow their local business by selling imported stuff from other TripleClicks ECAs.
>>they can recruit local customers to join TC/SFI and earn extra income.
Just tell your prospective ECAs that the other main reason that will draw local people to join them and grow their business, is that people always want to benefit. If the local people are aware that when they buy at their ECA’s shop, they don’t just get the products that they buy, but they also earn MRPs which can be used to purchase other products, local people will definitely support them.

I hope this will help you win your prospective local ECAs.
Thank you.

We all are fully aware of the international dimension of Tripleclicks, its potential for reaching customers in every country. This potential should not be overlooked.

However, some new ECAs may not have the experience in servicing customers abroad. Shipping issues may be a major obstacle. In Third World countries, such as in Africa, there are not always shipping agents capable of ensuring timely and effective delivery of goods. It is only understandable that ECAs may, first, want to focus on local customers.

Another reason of your question may also be because of objections you encountered in your prospecting efforts to enroll ECAs. They may have objected to you on the ground that they prefer to focus on generating local sales, not fully knowing the tastes and buying motives of customers in other countries.

All the above should motivate you to pursue your efforts in enrolling ECAs, as the potential is real, and the reward of success is highly worthwhile.

Many small businesses do not always have an online presence. They do not have fully operational, customer friendly websites. TripleClicks may be their best option. It can provide such ECAS with a great online presence at minimal costs. It also makes advertising much easier.

The use of smartphones is now widespread, especially in Third World countries, including Africa, where Internet access is not always reliable. You should explain to your ECA prospects that SFI and TripleClicks offer apps that will facilitate and make easier doing business online. Both local businesses and local customers will interact much easier by smartphones.

As your ECAs gain experience selling online to local customers, they should start exploring the wider international market. A first step might be reaching to neighboring cities, and countries. As they feel stronger and stronger, they will feel confident about going much further to extend their their clientele base from local to national and international.

Hi Moses !

Convincing prospective ECAs that TripleClics can be great for local sales could be a daunting task, but we can’t give up just because the work is difficult. We need to convince them inspite of the task being difficult.

Do not approach this as a one-time thing. The ECA program is going to get bigger and better over the coming months and years. Therefore, keep or database all your prospect company addresses, phone numbers, etc. so that you can do follow-ups in the coming months. Size-wise, small- to mid-sized companies are your best bets to start with. You'll have a much easier time getting through to the decision-makers and they likely won't have multiple layers of management to stall action.

Take out a print of all other ECA in your country and hand over a copy to each prospective ECA along with Frequently Asked Questions. Visit them the next day to ask questions and ask them their doubts on the program. Mostly they will be ready to enroll themselves, otherwise clarify their doubts.

Show them the importance of selling online not only locally but also in other cities and other countries world-wide. Anyone would like to expand one’s business. Only you need to keep visiting them from time to time till they get convinced. Tell them the program is free to join and they lose nothing by joining it.

Hope it helps
Have a nice day !!

Thanks for this question.

Please explain the following:

1. By becoming an ECA business across many international buyers is possible.
2. When business grows rapidly because of international buyers the ECA will earn more returns.
3. Normally, prices for international market will cover, among other things, Freight and Forwarding
Charges from Shop to Sea Port or Freight from Shop to Airport, Freight from Port to buyer's
home or courier charges from seller's point to buyer's home, etc.
4. But for domestic market, certainly these cost will be either absent or can be kept at minimum;
5. Such being the case, using the more profits from his selling to other countries, the ECA can keep
Lower prices for domestic market;
6. He can rotate the profits efficiently by buying bulk stocks of fast moving
products at still lower prices & stock them;
7. This way, he will not run out of stocks &
8. There will be no cash crunch;
9. Further, after some time, the ECA can also try to become a T Currency Dealer by which
he can serve more TC members locally. It can result in increased income for the ECA;
10. The ECA can also go for a TC Basic LocalPay Licence that allows him to accept direct payments for his products and services that he sells from his TripleClicks TConnect Website.
It can cost him only $35 per year.
11. In case the ECA becomes an SFI Member, then he can take a SFI Outlet License which allows him to sell and accept direct payments for various SFI products, both digital and physical, including TCredits and TripleClicks Gift Cards. The cost is $35 annually. The only condition is that he must maintain a Silver Team Leader (STL) rank or above in the SFI Program to get this Outlet License.

Conclusion:

1. When you explain all these advantages, the prospective ECA will realize that becoming a TC
member will be quite advantageous for his LOCAL Sales.

2. You should try to know more SFI/TC Members from your Local Area/Region & try to connect them
once you convince and create an ECA in your area.

3. This will result in more Local Sales for the new ECA and better prices through discounts for
more members in your local Area/Region.

4. With these advantages, you all can create more PRMs from other Areas/Region within your
own Country by which every one can grow more and earn more!!!

- Discuss some of the highlights of ECA by referring to the E-Commerce Associate Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) such as qualifications to participate, product listing at TC, products pricing and shipping cost, terms and conditions, managing orders and so on.

Convincing your prospective ECAs that TripleClicks can be great for LOCAL sales:

When I engage a new ECA prospect there are a few things I address with them.

1. The first thing I ask them is, "What is your Alexa Rating?" Most do not even know what Alexa is. So I ask them for there website address and I input it into the Alexa Website. All ECA prospects I have engaged have Alexa ratings that are very high, in the millions. Many have a warning returned by Alexa that says "not enough data to rate". The higher your rating the fewer people seeing your website. Then I show them TripleClicks Alexa Rating. As of this writing it is: 7,761. And Alexa has a lot of other demographic data that is helpful in convincing an ECA he needs to be on TripleClicks.

2. I recruit ECAs from whom I would purchase goods. And I become their first customer.

3. I show them my ECA store and how well I am doing. This is important. One month after they open their ECA they will want to know why I do so much better than they do. I explain that they need training on internet marketing and that TripleClicks has an affiliate program that will provide that training free. It is called SFI.

4. When appropriate I show how a vendor can include links in his website that allow a shopper to be in the vendor's website but make his purchases through TripleClicks. I make the BUY NOW buttons in their website link directly to a product in TripleClicks opening a new window to make his purchase. And this product link contains my SFI ID and the customer becomes my PRM. Unless of course the ECA is interested in being an SFI Affiliate.
