If you are planning to encourage ECAs which have not listed their products, focus on the big benefits of having an ECA store.

- Establish communication by connecting and contacting the ECAs in your local area regularly and mention the following:

1. ECAs can list products on TripleClicks at no cost.

2. Pay a minimum of 15% of the sale price of their products.

3. SFI Affiliates who live within your local area will greatly benefit by earning VPs and eliminate shipping charges (“Will-Call” option for local pickups of orders) by buying locally.

4. ECAs will acquire new customers and sales month after month (Standing Orders).

5. If ECAs are SFI Affiliates members as well, they will accumulate unlimited Sales VPs month after month, good for Power Rankings and probable higher star ratings, which will create trusts and more sales.

- If you are a Team Leader, encourage your downlines to connect with your local ECAs, so that they will become enthusiastic in listing their products, create Hot Deals, add even more products, offer lower shipping costs and better reasonable prices.

ECA who have not listed products are inactive. Merchants in your local area who are not ECAs should be introduce to the idea. So inactive ECAs, should definitely become active and there are a few ways that you can help them.

1. Remind them that TripleClicks does charge ECAs to list their products. You can list 10 or 1000. It will never cost you a dime. Only when a sale occurs is there a fee for processing and handling. This fee is nominal compared to other sites that provide the same service. Besides, TripleClicks has 25 years of success behind a world-class customer support team thats dedicated to help ECAs reach there goals.

2. TripleClicks processes all of the orders and provides customer support to customers and ECAs. Acting as escrow, TripleClicks protects ECAs against fraudulent transactions as well as they protect the consumer ensuring the merchandise is delivered as expected. Should a problem arise, TripleClicks is their to meet your customers expectations and provide advice and support to ECAs.

3. Harness the power of over 1,000,000 affiliates without any of the headache of running your own affiliate program. TripleClicks handles every aspect of this equation so ECAs can focus on product distribution and product variety.

4. The possibilities for exploding their customer base as products are sold on TripleClicks global infrastructure. Merchants have the choice of going global or staying out of certain geographic regions.

5. And a whole lot more. But most of all increased profits and greater potential of acquisition of more marketshare for sustained profits.

So always show profits and savings because Tripleclicks is quick, simple, and easy to set up, sell, and profit from.

On their ECA page, there is a place that says "Submit Suggestions" ask them for items you wish for them to carry.

Find out what country they are in, and send them new ECA's in their country to connect with. Often, if there are a few ECA's in their country that are active, and they are connected to them, this will inspire them to become more active, too.

Offer them information on how to become a LocalPay Store, they will have something to look forward to getting once they earn enough money to become licensed.

Also, offer them challenges, or hold contests for encouragement. Offer them ideas, such as loyalty shopping programs, offer to send out sales flyers, post free online ads, etc, once they were to post items for sale.

Sometimes, the approval process, especially during the holidays, makes it appear they are not being active, and they really are...it takes time to actually see items that the ECA Store is trying to post. Maybe, just communicting will help so their intentions could be known.

Make sure you ask their goals, and inform them you want to help them to achieve these, together.

Our goals are mostly to encourage, ongoing, even through their first post, to their first sale, and to celebrate their accomplishments, together.

Sometimes, even a simple congratulations, and other encouraging words are all that are needed. Maybe, support, since they are new, they may just need advise.

Just communicate with them, so they know you are available if they need you at some point.

Best Wishes
SFI Member

Hello,

First step is to understand the difficulties of ECAs in your local area. For this you can visit their office/shop and discuss with them and clearly understand their difficulties in doing business with SFI. Some ECAs may feel that their existing business will get affected by doing their business with SFI. Some ECAs may have difficulty in listing their products. Some may have doubts in getting their money after sale of their product. Some may have doubt in getting customers and feel that they have to spend lot of time and efforts for getting very small business.

Therefore, you should be very clear about ECA business at SFI and get a clear concept of SFI business through ECA. Get prepared for all questions from your ECA and clarify them clearly and build confidence in them for listing their product. If required, assist them in doing so and ensure that they don’t have any difficulty.

You can also suggest them the suitable products that can be listed which can improve their business remarkably. Do a market survey, if required.

Explain them all the STRENGTHS of SFI business including the affiliates number and its growth potential.

You should remember that always your hard work or assistance for your ECAs will reap benefits on long run.

Good luck and All the best my friends

This is a very interesting question as yesterday I was looking at the pages of ECAs in the UK and was quite shocked that most had no products on their pages at all. This is like having a high street with empty shops, if most of the shops are empty people are not attracted to go there.

If someone has gone to the trouble of setting up their ECA page and opening their account, there must be something that stopped them listing products. So if these ECAs are local to you, why not contact them and ask them what's holding them back from listing any products?

Perhaps they tried initially and then ran into a problem, a problem which you might be able to help them with? Perhaps they were not sure how to set up shipping costs? If the member is outside the USA that might be what stopped them in their tracks, or it could be any number of things. Why not strike up a communication with them asking why, you can do this from their store page, if they are still not keen to list their products and you cannot persuade them, why not offer to list some of their products on your own page. If they start to see sales then they will surely become very interested in the potential. With the new year 2014 approaching its a good time for people to try new things and face new prospects with a positive attitude. Having recently set up my own ECA Store with over 140 products, I would encourage everyone with no products listed to at the very least list one or two products, after all what do they have to loose? Its a win win situation for everyone involved. Happy New Year to You and all the readers and best wishes from me to all the ECA stores.

One of the best ways to encourage ECAs to list their products is to offer them assistance. Some ECAs don't really understand the product submission process, or started to list the first product and got rejected for a technical reason.

Sometimes just walking through a few products with them, or interceding with Support if there was a glitch, will make all the difference.

Resist the urge to do all the work for them, but being available encourages avtivity.

Hope that helps!

That's a really good question. I'm going to answer that, assuming that your area has been approved for local listings.

- First and foremost become an ECA yourself and get comfortable listing products in your local area. Find out any difficulties and reach a solution.

- Contact each one and find out if they are having trouble listing their products. It could be that they are just getting frustrated with the listing, not getting their products approved, or something else.

- If they are willing, lead them through the process of listing single and multi-listings, and be ready to assist them every step of the way.

- If they are not willing, ask them why? Explain to them how they can benefit financially, help them by advertising and buying their products. Let them know that you will do that for them, and anything else required.

The fact that you managed to get hold of some ECAs to join the program is an encouraging first step. However, to get them to be active involves some information gathering as to why they have not listed their products. Perhaps they need further assistance.

I seen many ECAs approaching the forum when they have a problem listing their products. Make known to them to seek help at the forum if they need assistance.

E-mail them or call them to find out if they have any questions or if you can offer assistance to get them to list their products.

Send an email to them to remind them that their products can reach millions of potential customers worldwide with over 1 million SFI affiliates to work for them.

Perhaps a personal visit to their store could help by encouraging them to list their products and be active.

There would be several ways one could offer encouragement. I think the biggest selling point to them would be the sheer numbers of SFI affiliates and TripleClicks members.

I would invite them to review the SFI site, especially the "Growth" tab. New members are joining every 20-30 seconds! That's a new potential set of customer's eyes every 20-30 seconds, as well as being another person that may connect with that ECA and help promote their products as an affiliate. It would also help to remind the ECA that there are now over 2 Million TripleClicks members...so literally millions of potential customers!

They say "the proof is in the pudding", so another helpful idea would be to connect that ECA with other ECA's who are having success with their businesses, and share results and ideas. Remind them of the benefits of selling their items through the ECA program versus other online stores which can have high seller's fees, and no affiliates working "for" them to help promote their products.

Finally, you could offer to personally help promote their products by sharing your personal links to their store, a win-win situation for all! Remind the ECA's that there is no risk involved, it's free to list...so the only thing they would lose by not being active is...SALES!
