Hi Patlam!
Actions speaks louder than words. SFI is the best online business. It provides us with the best tools and training.
To see the serious PSAs and CSAs, just check their VP Ledgers, it will tell you the whole story about them. From there you can see if they log in everyday and what they are doing.
You can then contact the ones who are not doing good and hear what is their problem. Then help, advice and/or motivate them if need be.
I hope this will help.

Hi Sheelah!
The best tip is the one from SFI Tips, ANSWER GUIDELINES, Tip No.5 'The best answers are thorough and shed new light on the topic and/or help the reader fully understand the solution using clear examples, metaphors, analogies, etc.'
From me:
1. The first main thing is to understand the question asked. You find people writing a long story with lot of information but not answering the question asked.
2. You must know and understand SFI. Give your answer according to

Hi Stephen
This is an online business. People who are involve in this business must be online/use internet.They must do all their transaction online.
To promote the ECA program, you can promote it to everyone. Those who are not online or do not use internet, you can convince them to go online or use internet by showing them the benefits of being online and/or using internet. Show them also what they are missing for not being online. Every business person wants to succeed. They will do whatever

Hi Bob!
Yes you should promote participation in Pricebenders to your team. You should also advice your team to promote it to their downline and prospects. That's duplication. Teach your team to do what you are doing.

Pricebenders is one of the most important and powerful product that TripleClicks have to build our businesses. Participating in pricebenders, covers most of our important actions that we need to do here at SFI in order to succeed.

Hi Sandra!
Yes, I agree 100%. I won't say you should, I'll say you must advise new PSAs to slow down and not qualify as Team Leaders so quickly, then explain why. Then if they want to you must not stop them.
As their leader, you understand SFI. You are a wise and trusted guide and advisor. You know that a Team Leader must have an active team to survive. Even if they get CSAs after qualifying as Team Leaders, those CSAs are not guaranteed to be active. Even if they are active, they wont

Hi Maja
One of our jobs as upline members is to provide our downline with motivation, inspiration, and help to create and maintain momentum.
Don't criticise. Instead show them the wrong/bad thing that they are doing. Then show them the negative impact/results of what they are doing. Show them how it will negatively affect their business.
Remember that when talking to them, it is always about their benefit not yours. Always put them first. You are here to help them achieve what they

Hi Eleh!
Some blogs will not allow advertising so check the terms of service first. Posting banners and text on your own Website vary among Web hosts. So you might need to check with your website host. This is the general way that most websites use.
To install an SFI or TriplrClicks banner on your blog, first go here:

Hi Izabella!
Some, if not most of our affiliates don't visit their Sponsor's/Co-Sponsors Leadership Page. For best use to motivate and inspire your team using your Leadership Page is to make sure that your team does visit your Leadership Page. Posting valuable information in your page when your team is not visiting it, it becomes invaluable. Even posting contests won't work because they won't know/see them.

Hi Alvin!
SFI doesn't limit you. They say "Sky is the limit" and "Do something to grow your business every day".

Don't limit yourself. Sponsor as many people as you can. You will not create a successful business by thinking about it. You will create a successful business only by taking actions every day. Every day, no matter what, make sure you're doing sponsoring to further your business.

You must think big if you want to be successful. As our SFI slogan

Hi Manohar!
On everything we do, the most important thing is the foundation.
When a person joins SFI, the most important for him/her to do is to build a strong foundation. Our foundation here at SFI is on the SFI Basics.
Mr. Gery states well on the START. His first statement is: "For 15+ years, we've been building the #1 affiliate program on the Internet." (We know is on the 17th year now). From his experience, he created SFI BASICS.
