Hi Adjoua!
As far as I know, cold calling, using a local telephone directory, is a bad method for attracting new PSAs. I have too many reasons for saying so. I won't mention all of them, but just a few.
1. In my country, most companies that are using Call Center Agents for recruiting/sales, are failing most of the time. They lose lot of money on calls than what they make on sales. They give their agents targets to meet and their agents can't meet them.
2. You spend lot of time explaining

Hi Olufolake
The best method for recruiting affiliates via social media, is to recruit them indirect.
Just talk and post about your business. Your winnings, achievement, progress, etc. People will start asking you about it, then it will be your best chance to recruit them.
I hope this will help you recruit more people.
Thank you.

Hi Stephen!
Getting Started Actions, Intermediate Actions, Daily Actions, Weekly Actions and Monthly Actions are part of the business. As SFI affiliates we need to do all of them. We do not need to focus on them. They are our daily bread. On top of them, we add the best action/s to focus on.
It is said that SFI has 100,000 ways to make money. You can't use all this 100,000 ways alone. As far as I can see. The best action to focus on, is to duplicate in order to be able to use all this 100,000

Hi Sean!
To identify their skills, go through their profiles and also check what they are doing.
Remember, you can't identify something that you don't know. First and foremost is to know which skill/s are needed that could help your affiliates become stars in SFI. You must also have a knowledge and/or vision on how are they going to use that/those skill/s to make them to be stars in SFI.
The main skills that are needed are selling, recruiting and leading. But because SFI is too broad,

Why or why not should I promote Fast-Track 2.0 in my welcome letters to new affiliates? If yes, what wording should I add?

Hi Fiona
We are on business here, so we promote everything that makes money. No promotion no business. No business no money.
As far as I've experienced, I think you should promote Fast-Track 2.0 on your welcome letter. Your welcome letter is one of the things that the new members read when they are still fresh at SFI. That will make them know as soon as possible that there is such a thing as Fast-Track 2.0. If they don't get that information as soon as possible, they might spend time reading

Hi Emmanuel!
When you read the Launchpads, SFI gives you the background and history of the company, which is good and promising, which can be the reason for your question. But you won't know if SFI is lying or telling the truth. To give the reasons for your question, I'll ask you to read the testimonies of different affiliates, which are real people and you can meet them face to face, to read why you should focus on SFI than on these other companies.
My testimony is that I did try many

Hi Olufolake
You can use a PSA's Affiliate Profile to help him or her get off to a good start and become successful in SFI by examining it carefully.
There are many things that you may examine. This are the main three things to examine:
1. Why did he/she join SFI.
2. What does he/she likes.
3. What is he/she good at.
You can use No.2 and No.3 to help him/her to achieve No.1.
When the PSA is doing what he/she is good at and what he/she likes, the PSA will enjoy what

Hi Erica,
SFI provides the best tools. My Movers tab shows you which ones of your PSAs and CSAs are working harder and which ones are not working hard.

1. When you are aware you will know which ones you must keep close and give incentives so that you don't lose them in order to maximize your business.
2. When you are aware you will know which ones you must work more with to encourage and motivate to work harder in order to maximize your SFI business.

I believe this

When starting out in SFI, is it better to invest in advertising or in an EA-qualifying purchase?

Hi Ana!
With no doubt, it is far better to invest in advertising than in an EA-qualifying purchase. How long are you going to purchase to qualify as an EA?
We are here as businessmen/women to make money not to spend it. When you open a business, you open it to sell not to purchase from it.
When you invest on advertising, you are hitting two birds with one stone. Your sales from your advertising will create profit/commission for you, while generating Sales VersaPoints for you to qualify
