This depends on your team members. You first need to get to know them before offering them advice about placing standing orders.

I know one of my team members currently drinks a milkshake and has vitamins on a daily basis. I also know SFI has them in their TripleClick's Store for much less than wholesale prices they pay, already.

I may send them an eMail that says something like this "Here is the website for multi-vitamins available for this price, regularly, but less

It is a very good question. I remember when I joined, my sponsor, encouraged me to set up a standing order and I felt reluctant for the first three months. This is because at that time, I only needed to buy a little to make it to Executive Affiliate as I fully utilised all the available “To Do List” versa points. Later, however, these “free points were only around 330 to 400 versa points and I saw the need to set up a standing order.
I think that you can only persuade and not pressurise

It’s really very simple for you to convince your downline. For that you always keep in mind that part of time when you were on the edge stage of your decision regarding standing order. In my opinion at that time definitely you faced one of these below mentioned stages.

1) May be you were influenced by your sponsor, co-sponsor or from upline leader by seeing badge under their belt from long time.

2) May be you were studied and read a lot from SFI website and then came to know

The answer to your question depends upon how awksome are the Personal Sponsor Affiliate/Co-Sponsor Affiliate of the downline. We need first to convince ourselves the benefits of having a Standing Order.

I myself cancelled my Standing Order on my first month with SFI since I had gained the required VersaPoints needed to be an Executive Affiliate status and the defining of the Standing Order did not convince me the importance of having one. However, after viewing the benefit chart and

Good Question

Standing order is a very useful thing for SFI affiliates.

It gives you the freedom to choose your order according to your choice and you dont need to order for your choice things again and again. Each month it works itself.

It helps you to maintain your levels for SFI rank and it helps to secure your bonuses commissions and perks every month all without any interruption because the versapoints which you secure always helps to manage the things its the

The idea is to simplify the concept of the Standing Order- If you consider SFI to be a game, that you play on a regular basis and anxious to move to the next level, one will automatically see the importance of establishing a monthly Standing Order.

A Standing Order is simply a requirement of the SFI game. Like every game, there are rules and regulations to follow in order for one to reach great heights. SFI is actually no different from any internet saga, people play for pleasure.

Good one to read by New EAs and Team leaders.

In my opinion it should be done at long run as they have to understand the system fully.

I came here to earn money but not to spend. In my perception everyone joins here in the same Goal.

1. Give them atleast one month time to read all Launch pad, complete basics & internet lessons
2.Interact with them about their progress through Stream, Team mail & personal mail/phone
3.Ask them to support the first

You could convince your downliners of having a standing order is say that

1. He will get a discount going for a standing order from the original prize.

2. He will only have to do the payment part only once for a particular item and the rest will be performed automatically on monthly basis given there is enough funds. SFI will also do their part if no sufficient fund will give another two tries. First on 10th then on 20th and lastly on 30th.

3. He can always reverse

The first thing here is to explain to your prospect, in this case your down line; that they need to change their mindset about shopping and see tripleclicks as their own store. That way they would do the purchases for items they normally would buy online from other stores and shops from tripleclicks.
You also need to tell them that this could even be done at an ECA with tripleclicks at their own location if they are not in the same country as you are by using the various search options and
