I think a lot of people here are like me - they have no experience in internet marketing.

We can do marketing and recruiting amongst our family and friends (which I do not like because if they do not succeed they blame you) but eventually you are going to run out of people to target.

Teach them HOW to advertise, how to use the tools SFI offers us. If you've done it before it might seem stupid to you but I can assure you - it is not as easy as you think. When I say HOW - I

The most important thing you should teach your downline to do is daily tasks.They should understand that they need to do them every day.Like that,they will learn to be active in their business.

The second thing is to teach them how to comunicate with their potencial PSAs and the ones who are already their PSAs. They need to be available to their members whenewer is needed to help and support them on their way to success. That way, their members will follow your downline success and give

Hi David,

This question has caused me to ponder prior to posting a reply. There are so many methods to market and at first I was focusing on which method is the most effective. However, after pondering I would have to save my recommendation would be the MOST valuable marketing skill to teach your downline is consistency.

Whatever they choose to use for marketing be it word of mouth, e-mail advertising, PPC, social media, co-ops, or one of the various other methods I would

To me the most valuable marketing skill any salesperson should have is advertising skill.
Great salesperson of which the founder of SFI Mr. Gery is one, all possess the skill to make products attractive and a must have to prospective buyers.
You don't have to be good talker to sell your products, you need to know how to appeal to the sense of the prospects and to do this you must know how to package and advertise your products.

The number one thing that attract me to SFI in

The most valuable marketing skill is learning how to keep great records so that you know what is working and what isn't working.

Those who succeed do this in a number of ways, but they do it. You can keep a simple spread sheet with the vital information. Be sure that you key code everything. Use the 4 D's. Do It, Delegate It, Defer it, and Delete It. These keep your business humming and going in the right direction.

To conquer the internet is to provide you with an income

The most valuable marketing skills you should teach your downline fall under one big category, that is, the art of effective communication.
Affiliates should have excellent interpersonal skills. They must have a genuine interest in people, so that their need to socialize and communicate with others would open the avenue for marketing SFI and Tripleclicks. They will feel more confident in approaching a prospect so that if they are quickly rejected they will not loose their motivation.

For me, there are two most important and valuable marketing skills that we can teach our downlines. They are communication skills and content marketing.

Communication Skills is very important when we are dealing with people of different culture, different language and different beliefs. We need to know the right approach when we communicate with them. There may be some terminology that can be offensive to others while it is ok with us. So it is important to use generally acceptable terms.

Listening - Active Listening is one of the most important marketing skills that an entrepreneur can develop.

Active Listening is important and it then puts the needs of customers first. Customers will see the affiliate putting forth effort to listen to what is being said thus does not feel rushed nor will he or she feel like the affiliate is simply trying to only make a sale and care about the stats of the sale.

Active Listening is a valuable marketing skill that each affiliate

Good questions with a direct to the point answer for this.
The main goal for a Team Leader is to enroll more PSAs as much as you can and to be able to share your growth in SFI. This is the main objective for us to enable us generate some commission and other incentives that SFI can give us in return for accomplishing our goals. The following example i will show you are follows:

1. To generate 6 Fast Track PSAs or more in your team. Duplication is the tern we used for this. and next

The most valuable skills you can teach your downline is the duplication process of your PSA's. Teach your downline to recruit new PSA's for their downline and this way you will build a strong foundation for your team. Lead by example and teach them to stay active with SFI and that with a little perseverance they too will become successful with SFI. Teach your downline to market SFI through advertising and even building an SFI Website. Teach them to teach their new PSA's to do the same. This is what
