Well I would not say one or the other! If I must choose though, I would say more valuable items.

People may gravitate to a certain item if they are in fact searching for that item in particular. Usually if they are already in search of that particular item and already have an idea of what the item should cost then the seller should employ good pricing techniques. The seller would not want to price the item too high as it may scare away customers. He/She does not want to price the item

Great Question Nathaniel!

Bare in mind that SFI has the latest news and the Forum that you can get ideas from for your newsletter.

Then there is the FSI Basics and launchpads. What I would advised you to do is to load yourself with information from any section of SFI and once you have done this create your newsletter with any bit of information that you think would be relevant to your team.

Also follow the ruled when it come on to sending mail to your team as you

"What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?"

I don't know why a sponsor would not respond to their affiliate, but if that is the case, I would say that SFI has all the tools needed to be successful in this business.

It is not the sponsor or SFI that makes the affiliate successful. These two are just aids in the process.

If a sponsor is not responding, I say to the affiliate: "do what you can to succeed just the same. You will feel

"How do you get your affiliates to approach their SFI business realistically, like a real business, and not some get unrealistic rich quick scheme?"

Great question! I don't think there is any great answer to this question. Why? Its up to the affiliate. Most successful businesses do not happen overnight.

In fact most riches do not come easily. It takes time, effort, investment, dedication, commitment etc.

Whether internet based or physical business, in my

I like your question,

In a nutshell I tell them that "instead of or in addition to setting up your own website and/or physical store, you can open you own ECA store and have the opportunity to increase sales where millions of people worldwide will have access to view your store and items you are selling."

Important: I also tell them it is a free store on TripleClick but they should still do the advertising and employ good pricing and valuable products that "people

Remember the ECA TConnect Page is your business and online store. The news posts must take the lines of the notices or news that you would post if it were your physical store:

> Sale on ... item
> Overstock great deals on...
> Thank you ... for visit my store and continued support
> New products available...
> Requested product... now in stock
> Thank you ... for visiting store

Some ways to use IAHBE membership to grow you SFI business:

Just like the basic of SFI and all the advertising, sales and marketing information that one would seek out on the internet.

The IAHBE is all the tools you need to apply in your business to make it successful.The information may be found elsewhere all over the internet, but it requires a lot of time and knowing exactly what you are looking for. With this membership all that time can be saved as it shows you exactly

What are the best types of businesses to focus on to maximize ECA recruitment?

Well in my opinion it wouldn't be fair to you to focus more on one type of business and ignore others. You may never know where you can recruit strong ECA members. All advertising is good advertising. Remember as well, some people have greater success recruiting total strangers than people they already know.

That being said, you may get some ideas here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/WhoDoYouKnow and promote: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/TCFreeListing
