Let me answer this question by making a joke. “Nobody knows everything in SFI business.” Even the founder, Mr. Gerry Carson himself admits that much. Having said that, be informed that even if you are new in marketing, you are not alone. Very many other affiliates are new to marketing too. We are all still learning this business day in day out. Even if you do not know how but know where to refer your PSA where he can get valuable information to help him, you are doing great. Therefore, even if

Is it worthwhile to sponsor affiliates who speak little English or have very limited computer/Internet experience?

It is worthwhile to sponsor any affiliate irrespective of their English language and Computer/Internet limitations. What matters is the seriousness of the affiliate and his/her ability to cope in SFI as a business. Language and Computer/Internet limitations therefore count for very little.

It appears SFI earlier envisaged these limitations hence the incorporation of language translation tools in the business. As for Computer/Internet limitations, all you need is just a working knowledge

If you are shy and not internet savvy, my advice is that you should buy into the S-Builder co-op if you want to grow your business. Preferably, you can the have the S-Builder co-op as a Standing Order. That way, you can simply stand by and watch PSAs, PRMs and ECAs being enrolled for you through co-operative efforts.

Even though it may take about a month before you start seeing results, once they start coming in, they will keep coming in so long as the Standing Order is in place. That

If you already have your five future PTLs identified (per THE PLAN), should you keep developing more first-level stars?

The simple answer to your question is YES. You are in business to grow and there in no limit to that growth. To my mind, having your first five future PTLs is just the beginning of that growth. That is just the first group. You can develop many more. Can you imagine the exponential growth in your business if you have such groups in 2, 3, 4, or even 5 or more? Phew!! That will be some real business explosion and affiliates like that will be forcing SFI to search for more Team Leadership positions

I have set up an auto responder. How can I determine if my auto responder is working?

Simple, just test it from time to time that is all. What should ideally worry you is not whether it works but whether it works as expected. Once you set up an auto-responder properly, it will respond to messages but if you do not program it very well, it will respond unsatisfactorily to messages.

In that case, it is not the fault of the auto-responder but that of the person who programmed the messages in the responder. An auto-responder by design will respond to inquiries put before it

As an ECA, what is the best way to use a dropshipper for your ECA Products?

The first question that comes to my mind here is, why use dropshipper in a business like SFI/TripleClicks? I do understand through Wikipedia that “Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between

What should I do with PSAs who do not want to recruit affiliates or otherwise engage in duplication?

My first reaction to this question is to advise you to tread with caution. Reason is, I very much doubt if it is within your purview to dictate to your affiliates how to run their businesses. Be reminded that your affiliates are individual and separate business persons who have the right and sole responsibility to run their businesses the way they please. If they choose not to engage in duplication, it is their choice but your role should be purely advisory. In that light, you can do the following;

This is about the only question on the lips of very many SFI affiliates. You can increase your earnings in SFI if you follow the rules diligently then advertise and promote your business like hell. You can do so either by earning direct Dollar value or earning more VersaPoints which translate to Dollar value on the long run. Specifically, you need to do the following:

1. Explore all ways to take advantage of the many SFI income generating avenues.
2. Take advantage of SFI training

The best way to do that is to recognize your team members as independent and separate business persons who happen to be your business partners. Show them that you are all in the business for the fun and to make money. Invite them to come along with you for a joyous and profitable ride. To buttress and reaffirm these ideals, I recommend you do the following:

1. Show decent respect for your team members as your partners and let that reflect in all your dealings with them.
2. Limit

The level of responses you get from your downline is an indication that your mails are reaching them. You may be aware that the most reliable message source in SFI is Team Mail. If you use that source more than any other, it is fairly certain that your mails are reaching your affiliates.

For more confirmation, you can send mails which request specific information from your affiliates. If you receive no responses at all, it is a confirmation that your mails are not reaching them. To ascertain
