There have been many good answers offered to this question. I agree heartily with many of them.

Mentioned already:

-Help them prepare the appropriate documents to sign up.
-Help them make their first 1 or 2 listings.
-Treat them as a customer and provide good customer service.
-Promote their products in your stream messages and PSA/CSA mailer.

All these are very good ideas. There are 2 more that I would like to add.

1. I offer 10 Triple Click Gift Cards to my new ECA to give to their existing customers. There are several reasons I do this. First, if they do not sell online already, the Gift Card gives them a tool to help customers know about their online store and there are many customers who may prefer to buy that way. Second, these existing customers already buy and if they buy through TC it generates activity for the ECA and he will stay active. Three, I get the commissions from these established buyers where as I would not get commissions if they were buying from the ECA directly, not using TC. And forth and final, their existing customers become my TC members. If the ECA needs more cards I am happy to provide them.

2. I try to focus my recruiting efforts on companies that offer products I want to buy and use. Maybe that product is on SFI already, maybe not, but I would rather get the commissions of buying it from my own sponsored ECA. And I can assure the new ECA they will certainly have one very loyal customer.

An example I am working on right now:

I can no longer purchase the Silver76Pack. I have made 4 purchases so far, but they can no longer ship it to my country. So, I am in negotiations with local providers. If they will become an ECA I will make a purchase each and every month. Good for them, good for me.

Excellent question;

One of the most important piece of this business is TripleClicks ECA's.

I have a few steps I follow in order to refer a new ECAS:

First I meet with the owner in order to check their products, availability, quality, etc.

Next I check their web page, if the have one.

After reviewing and explaining how ECA program works I refer them.
One thing I emphasized is documents they should supply, in order to be approved faster.

As soon as I receive my notification of pre approval I contact them to see if they need any further assistance, I guide them step by step through the listing of their products. I recommend to list one at first.
One product would allow them to test all the backlinks and the advertising on different sites, in order to establish the proper follow up procedures.

After that if everything is working properly, I send emails to my team letting them know we have a new ECA store available.

I promote the store's products through Facebook, Twitter, Exchange links etc.

I keep in touch with ECA's reps. in order to follow their performance and grab their feelings about the program.

Every time they list a new program I go over with promotion and tell my complete genealogy about it.

I am a newcomer in this business, I join in January 2th. but it has worked, and we are satisfied with results.

Have a very successful day!

Admittedly this is something I am learning quickly how to do myself. One step at a time.

What has helped me understand how the e~commerce section and its affiliates work was firstly to become one. Thus I explored the hands on approach ensuring that my knowledge I was going to share was current and up to date [as far as a constantly changing internet environment will allow that is]. As I was experimenting I found

1).. out and practiced some of the steps involved [ like going to the TConnect page weekly]

2) that looking at all the ECA and choosing other ECA's to follow.

3) by promoting some of the products that ECA's have. Helps to know where and how to embed the product codes on blogs, how to catch the attention of a viewer when writing a post highlighting the embedded ECA's product or service.

4) keeping up to date with the reading of forums and 'AskSC' I am of the belief that this is an important and beneficial step for any ECA to accomplish.

5) being able to slip into the conversations with future ECA's just how TC gift Cards and TC Gift Certificates are a very good complementary marketing tools a comprehensive package is being put forward. Hence - just being an ECA is good. But being an interactive and approachable ECA who has a fuller understanding of what both SFI and TripleClicks has to offer both themselves and their consumers ultimately allows the ECA to be proactive with the marketing concepts and timeline..

6) by creating a bigger set of ready made blog posts which are easily altered to suit the ECA inquiries.

The above has deepened my knowledge and understanding basis. Thus the confidence and belief in how the ECA system works comes through when I approach these people.

Trust and understanding due to busy timetables is built as each ECA is being assisted in their potential. It is not a matter of what I have you cannot have. But rather that understanding and trust is duplicatable when assistance is offered.

In summary: Help a new ECA by becoming a trusted, proactive ECA. yourself.

Hello Stephan Devos,

I almost didn't want to answer this question but i have to, simply because i was in a similar situation some days ago with an ECA i have referred.

Back to your question "How do you help a new ECA you've referred to start faster, get his/her products listed, and stay active?"

You have done the most part of the job by referring an ECA which i think is the most difficult thing. So what do you now do after confirming that he has done all the proper registration? I will use my own experience as a guide to advise you here.

You have to guide him by encouraging him to read all about the ECA program of SFI. He/She should read the ''frequently asked questions'' of the program. Let him understand as much as possible what he/she stands to gain by quickly listing his/her product and remaining active. Luckily, you are an ECA yourself as i can see from your badge. In my case i had to download all the materials i could find on SFI concerning ECA including the Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ and i sent it to him. You can do the same thing in your own case too.

Another thing you could do to help him stay active after listing his product is to be his first customer. Buy any one of his products if you can afford to and let him see an income from his efforts. This will be a ''win win'' situation for you because you will be encouraging him as well as get your Versa Points for the product you bought from him! This is indeed an ingenious way to make him stay active.

After that, you can now help him to advertize his store by letting your down-lines know about your new ECA by way of stream post or just by mail. This might also encourage your other affiliates to register to become ECA's. I am sure that by the time he begins to make his first dollars by selling products, he will be and stay active.

Another way you can make him/her list his product faster and remain active is to let him see your own store as an ECA. Let him have a feel of what an E-Commerce Associate store looks like on TripleClicks. What i did in my situation was to give a link of my own ECA stores to my new ECA. He did ask me how much i have made so far and i gave him a range without being exact how much i make monthly.

I do hope that i have given a good answer to your question? I wish that your new ECA would list his product(s) and become active as quickly as possible with your guidance. Impossible is nothing!

See you at the top.

The ECA that you have referred is to be guided to get started up quickly, for this you must first help them complete all the registration formalities. On completing this they must get their products listed which needs approval by TripleClicks and this takes maybe up to a maximum of 24 hrs.

Next and the most crucial part is to help them get sales as this is the only thing that will keep them active. For this you can do the following:

1. Promote there ECA link to your SFI contacts and Team.

2. Help them promote the ECA store on various ad sites some of which are Classified ad sites, Facebook, Twitter, Linked in, Pinterest etc.

3. You can suggest your ECA to read and understand the book :Duct Tape Marketing: The World's Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide which will help a lot. Another book is "Guerrilla Marketing, 4th edition: Easy and Inexpensive Strategies for Making Big Profits from Your SmallBusiness.

4. If the products that your ECA plans to sell is helpful to build SFI business then you can promote it to all affiliates.


These are some of the ways you can help your ECA to grow quickly and earn royalty income for yourself.

That's a great question sir.The answer below is what i am thinking about your question..

Mostly the ECA gets referred by us through our gateway which is published in websites or we personally give gift cards to friends ,family or our co-workers..Most of them doesn't know the TripleClicks policy completely..The information here is overwhelming ,so most of them will not read every article to get started..That's where our job comes in..We must train them step by step..

1.Registration help:
First when they click our ECA gateway,the registration form opens.. But they must first signup in TripleClicks and then only can fill up the form..When they signup in TripleClicks we get a PRM referral message..We must ask them whether they want to be PRM or ECA because we never know ,through which gateway they are referred..When they say they want to be an ECA, we must help them fill up the registration form for ECA approval like uploading proper proof photos..Its very important to say to them that it takes 2 to 3 days for approval and no message will be sent to them until their approval and no "pending approval" will be there in their page..Because they might get frustrated about not getting any replies immediately.Its better to contact the ECA via skype or install teamviewer software and can remote control the ECA's computer..Thus he can see what exactly are the procedures..This develops the trust in the sponsor..

2.Help after approval:
Once the ECA is approved they will get a message and the sponsor gets a message that his/her's ECA referral has been approved.. Then we must encourage the ECA to list the products. If they need t-credits the sponsor must give it and not let them buy it.. This action strengthens the sponsor to ECA bonding and their trust in each other..Two ways the sponsor can give t-credits to ECA. one is by sending gift card and the other is asking them to become you psa and transfer your t-credits to them...Then suggest them to do the T-Time contest and get a Wav3 membership..

3.Help during Product Listing (VERY IMPORTANT):
The sponsor must ask the ECA to list the products with more CV and VP so that their products come in TC search soon and SFI affiliates & TC members would buy their product more..It is advised not to list all their products in a single day.Each day they can list one or two products so that their products will be seen in the newly added products list in the TC homepage everyday..This attracts the customers..Then the sponsor must ask them to Hot Deal list their best product..This attracts more customers to get the product before time runs out.. .Once the ECA lists the first product the sponsor gets 100vp.. This is the confirmation that their ECA has listed the products..

4.Help after Product Listing:
Once the products are listed the main job for the sponsor is to promote it either in the social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, his own website and blog.. He must tell his family,friends,co-workers and whoever possible and can also give cards for referral..The sponsor must buy the products from his ECA whenever possible.. This further increases the trust and friendship in each other.. The sponsor must inform the ECA to do the same..This gets the ECA more and more customers and both the sponsor and the ECA would be happy campers..

I hope this answer helps...

Thanks for this question because it gives us a chance to organize our activity based on a conscious strategy in the topic...

I suggest to follow these steps if you would like to work successfully here at SFI with an ECA Partner:

1. You have to be more or less familiar with the products fo this ECA.
2. It is practical if you have knowledge about the available offer for similar products
at TripleClicks if there was any.
3. During the invitation of this ECA Partner you should acquaint the operation of our
TripleClicks store with your potential Partner. For this purpose would be useful a
small gift: one TC Gift Card for example, what your Partner can use with your help
based on your instructions.
4. During this tour you can collect useful information about their english knowledge.
5. During this demonstration you should navigate your Partner to the Department which
is important from their products point of view...
6. After this I suggest to close the meeting and agree on the scheduled step (whithin
2-3 days!) for the commonly executed product listing...
7. Before you leave please do not forget to give him another TC Gift Card as a gift...
8. Be punctual & well prepared next time, too.

I offer these simple points with love to Your and All Reader's attention...

Help them make their first 1 or 2 listings

Promote their products in your stream messages and PSA/CSA mailer.

Send them some gift cards. Gift Card gives them a tool to help customers know about their online store and there are many customers

It generates activity for the ECA and he will stay active. You get the commissions from these established buyers where as you would not get commissions if they were buying from the ECA directly

Do a little bit of work find active marketing groups, examine what they do and if they promote SFI or not. If they don't get in their and promote. The only thing is that you need to be active in these groups because them coming to SFI is built on trust and seeing that you truly are willing to help them.

When you approve the product, it is already active right from the day when the active is 15 days to have the product placed on the TC ad, of course that you choose how many days you want to be at a discount

Once the ECA has registered, you can encourage them to start listing as soon as possible. Of course there are some ways to encourage them and i do the listed ones here

1. Once they are registered, they need to purchase at least one TC to start listing. If they hesitates, i issue them a Girt Certificate to purchase TC and start listing immediately. Of course, this gives me 100 VP too after there first listing.

2. I ask the product they are going to list and keep my ads ready to promote them. Once it is listed i love to promote them immediately with many ways.

3. I too purchase there product and give a perfect review so that i can make a perfect promotion.

4. As long as they generate sales from here they will stay active and list new products.

Hope it helps??
