What will benefit a prospective TripleClicks ECA is to join, list their products, start making sales and earn income to grow their business.

These are also what will benefit us a referrer of the ECAs.

Thus, in prospecting for ECAs, we should focus on what will profit the relationship we are building. We can control the content of our communication and focus it on giving pertinent and useful information to the prospective ECAs, help them join, and help them list their products in a manner that will be conducive to making sales.

That is actually the true role of both SFI and Tripleclicks. The most effective way to positively convey this role to the prospective ECA is to tell the story of SFI and TripleClicks, the history, growth, achievements and bright future.

SFI and TripleClicks have a long history and a strong, continued track record of success. Innovations are being made on a constant basis, milestones are being reached repeatedly, the foundation of strong growth and bright future is being strengthened every day.

In our communications with the prospective ECA, by asking appropriate questions, we can identify what are their goals, their concerns, their strengths and their weaknesses. Hence, we can direct our communication in showing them how to reach those goals, while alleviating their concerns, building on their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses.

Thank you for your question.

First, it is necessary to present yourself like SFI's Executive.

To build trust, it would be good to talk about the strengths of the company, highlighting the 17 years of its effect on the market.

Then, you can make it known that there is an opportunity to channel sales through TripleClicks.

Every company is looking to expand and publicize their products and services.

Always it is feasible to have the opportunity to distribute these products, but it is important to seize the opportunity and create a very good impression.

Trust is created if you zoom the following points:

SFI can give you the following:

1. The possibility of using a locally robust platform.
2. Advertise the products at no cost.
3. Increase sales using current technology such as the internet marketing.
4. The customer will have the option of paying through the Internet using your credit card.
5. The platform enables access seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

In my case, I have been very successful focusing these points, considering that companies looking to what SFI provides.

Generally, companies are interested in selling their products through their own website, creating the shopping and seeking sales agreements with banks to allow customers to pay through the Internet using their credit cards.

These companies have not done so because the cost of creating this platform is very high and the chances of success are very low, because there is not a channel, they would have to create everything from scratch.

In short, the benefit SFI offers is huge, since the initial cost is zero and sales opportunities are great.

I hope my answer is the one he wanted.

By allowing ECA;s to list their products for free and to connect with affiliates they are opening a huge market and you have a lot of people advertising your product for you for free.

You only pay if you make sales. No sales, no payment. You pay a percentage of what you make if you make sales.

When talking to prospective ECAs I tell them that TripleClicks is an online mega-mall where they can have their own shop. I tell them that TripleClicks has a sales force whose task it is to find customers for the ECAs in TripleClicks. I explain that SFI is the sales and marketing arm of TripleClicks and that all SFI affiliates are actively trying to promote and sell the products of ECAs.

My prospects are told that when they join TripleClicks, they will have over a million people seeing their products who may either buy for themselves because they earn valuable points and member reward points for buying from their own store; or they will be actively looking for new customers outside of TripleClicks to buy their products. I explain that SFI affiliates are trained in sales and marketing, and many build their own websites promoting products within a certain niche in which they are interested, or regularly explain about and advertise products from TripleClicks' ECAs in their own niche blogs.

I tell my prospective ECAs that they have absolutely nothing to lose by opening a shop in TripleClicks, and will have the marketing strength of a million SFI affiliates at their service for free. They can only stand to gain.

A prospective ECA will want to know if there will be enough customers to make it worth his while to take the time to set up his store and TConnect pages.

It will be his responsibility to advertise his online ECA store but SFI will be bringing to the table a large number of affiliate customers who are looking for products to buy in order to earn their SVP. They will mostly be looking for home and personal care, gifts, electronics, etc. The more Affiliates who live in the prospective locality, the better.

Also tell him that one way our affiliates make money is to advertise his products and they get a portion of the 15% he pays to TC for that sale.

Do your homework and find out how many Affiliates live in his country, how many ECAs are in his country, and how many sell TCurrency. Take it slow, do not confuse him with too much too soon. Explain that while you are out recruiting ECAs, you are actively recruiting local affiliates. And be doing it.

I have seen some confusion on the point of what TripleClicks does and what SFI does for the ECA. SFI and TC have separate web sites. Therefore the TConnect pages, the ECA store site, the TC product lists and description pages are the only pages that an ECA sees since he is only a member of TC unless he becomes an SFI affiliate.

So, SFI basically only supplies customers and advertising, while TC supplies the web site and it's use, takes the orders and the money sends out orders to the ECAs, pays them, approves products and ECAs, etc.

I would explain it this way:

At TripleClicks, the ECAs run their own stores: loading and updating product photos & prices, packaging and filling customers order, run special product deals/sales, admin & research etc similar to other retail businesses.

The ECAs however need to comply with SFI (TripleClicks) requirements which are clearly spelt out. These include such things as - what cannot be sold, return & refund policy requirements, etc..

SFI provides the following:

- Free platform for an online store. ECAs don't pay until they have made a sale.
- Free websites to help them promote and run their businesses.
- Free IT backup/maintenance for websites
- TripleClicks have over 4 million members - all potential customers for the ECAs
- SFI have over a million affiliates who are also TC members. As well as being potential customers, they will also promote and sell the ECAs products.
- TC also promotes ECAs and their products to the SFI affiliates
- TC also has an important role in the event of a sale. The customer places the order with and pays the money to TripleClicks. TC advises the ECA of the order. The ECA then fills and have the customers order delivered. TC will then release the funds to the ECA less TC's payment.

When talking to potential ECAs remember to mention all of the above.

Explaining SFI's role with TripleClicks is actually fairly simple but for some who have only done business offline you may need to make a comparison for them.

SFI is an Affiliate program for TripleClicks. It works as a pay per action relationship much like hiring someone for commissioned sales, like Avon representatives, or Amway, Watkins, or even the old door to door Kirby Vacuum Cleaner salesman.

When you pay a minimum of 15% of the sale price to TripleClicks a portion is reserved to cover site cost, a small profit, and payment processing fees. The remainder is passed on to SFI who pays the affiliate marketer who promoted your products and brought the customer into your ECA store that made the purchase. They also pay a smaller portion to the co-sponsor of that affiliate and another portion goes into a profit sharing pool for all active affiliates, which acts as a bonus for taking actions daily to build your business.

All of this is no touch and no hassle for you as an ECA.

If you were to hire a salesperson offline you might have to pay Minimum Wage until they get going well enough to where their commissions exceed the guaranteed minimum. You would have training cost, and benefits cost, would have to report taxes on their behalf, and if your business grows big enough you might even have to fight employee unions.

With an online affiliate program all of the affiliate sales force are private contractors signed on with SFI. Only SFI is responsible for tax filings and reporting and since the affiliates are not employees of any company there are no unions involved. You don't have to hire an accountant to handle paying each affiliate 1 by one as SFI handles everything to do with these affiliates.

The affiliates often use paid forms of advertising and social media including video to promote product sales. This massively extends any advertising you do on your own and if your prices are fair, commissions are good, and the offer is worded nicely and includes great product images you can be sure that a lot of affiliates will connect with your store to promote your products.

Is there anything special that you can do to boost the success of your ECA Store?

Yes, to start you can bring current customers with you because they are most apt to buy something and leave a great review from your new shop. Good ratings and great reviews appeal to both customers and affiliates looking for products to promote. You can also advertise your store to generate even more sales activity that the affiliates will see happening and want to be a part of.

The best things you can do involve a couple recent program changes. The first is a new featured ECA program that you can bid T-credits purchased on TripleClicks that will not only feature your ECA site on TripleClicks but will also put it in front of 1.2 million SFI Affiliates. This is the ultimate advertising value as it can cost you as little as $20 and reach millions of people who will potentially buy your products and or promote them to millions of other prospective customers.

The other new change has to do with our auctions which have a new international option of taking a Gift Certificate or T-credits on items they can not have shipped to their country.

By offering the same or similar items to those listed in PriceBenders auctions at reasonable rates you can apply to be added to regional list that are suggested for the auction winner to buy the product locally and save on shipping. This is also valuable because US and Canadian members will also have the option to take t-credits or Gift Certificates.

All ECA are also able to now take t-credits or MRP which are our own in house rewards point system in return for merchandise. The ECA will get their full cash value and not have to wait extra time for settlements like offering a loyalty rewards card.

MRP or Member Reward Points are earned on every auction bid, every in game purchase with Eager Zebra Games, and every purchase made around the site using cash equivalents such as credit or debit cards, t-currency, or other local or regional payment option. Every time someone buys something or spends a t-credit on something on the site they could silently be earning a reward of a product in your store paid for by TripleClicks as a way of saying thank you for being a loyal customer.

Needless to say SFI and TripleClicks have gone all out to help your business be a success and it doesn't cost you anything until a sale is made and our final selling fees are among the lowest in the industry. Welcome to the ECA Program.
