What should you say to your PSAs when they say they are going to quit because they are putting out more than they are receiving?

Tell your affiliates that it takes time to get back what they have invested. Nothing happens overnight. Perhaps you should tell them that they should run the business according to their budget. If they can get more TripleClicks members to purchase items from TripleClicks and get their affiliates to do the same, they can work with their smaller budget. However, if affiliates want to leave and you have tried to show them these things, there's nothing you can do but wish them well in their endeavors. You just have to let them go. Life goes on. You just keep loading your wagon. Move on and help others who are willing to become movers.

What's the best SFI marketing method for beginners? Why?

There is no best marketing method for beginners. The reason is this depends on the affiliate and the people heshe is trying to reach. A new affiliate should go to the Marketing Section and read everything there. Then a selection should be made concerning which method(s) should be used.
I hope this is helpful to you.
At this time, which are the best countries to advertise SFI in?

It's really hard to say which countries are the best ones. I don't think there are really any. The reason is that there are all kinds of people in this world.
There are many people who have the resources and who can use computers and the Internet or who can use SmartPhones. These people are in so many different countries. There are many who have the financial resources to spend at TripleClicks. There are many who do not have a language barrier. On the other hand, There are those who do not have the resources, financially or otherwise, to participate. Even so, some people are motivated and are hard workers, no matter what circumstances they face. Since you cannot really tell where these people may live, it is wise to advertise in all countries, so that you gain the widest opportunity possible to succeed in your marketing endeavors.

What encouragement can I give to an affiliate who feels he or she is getting nowhere with SFI?

Try to find out why the person is discouraged and then give pointers on how to get moving with the business. Explain to the affiliate that it takes time to build any business. The fact that you felt, at times, that you were getting nowhere but stuck with it may help. An affiliate must follow the good example of the sponsor and team leaders. So your actions will speak louder than words. Offering incentives may help as well. Just be kind and gentle but firm at times as well.
In the long run, affiliates make their own decisions about whether to stay with this business or leave. You encourage, but it's the other person's decision.

What was your greatest challenge to success in SFI...and how did you overcome it?
Jeannette Gerrard, Aff (District of columbia, US)

Affiliate since: 11/13/2001, Power Rank: 74
I think my greatest challenge to success in SFI was, and still is, getting affiliates to duplicate what I am doing. Many affiliates just want to do nothing or they start out and do well, only to stop just when they are about to reach a new level and they are doing well. That is when I become greatly disappointed in them. I never want to bring my sponsor, co-sponsor or the SFI family disappointment.
The only way I see to overcome this situation right now is to continually sponsor new affiliates and refer TripleClicks members, who just might become affiliates; to keep on gaining new badges by building on my VP accumulations by completing everything possible for me; and to communicate with all my affiliates, especially the ones who really are working hard.
I also work with the co-op Manager provided by SFI, so that I can reward hard working affiliates with new affiliates.
I hope this provides some helpful tips. I always welcome feedback.
Have a rewarding day!

What makes you persevere with SFI and not quit?

Everything in SFI and TripleClicks makes me persevere. The whole concept of this business is so much fun and so exciting that I have no desire to quit! The Web site is easy to use and is very compatible with my screen reader I use to read on my computer or my iPhone. The training is easy to understand. The business is worldwide, affording me the joy of meeting people from so many countries. The games are fun, and so are the other contests. The whole way that the VP system works is the easiest system I have found. Other businesses I have joined in the past were not as compatible to me or the ones that were compatible failed when I was really gaining ground. The fact that I stumbled on this business in the first place and no one told me of it offline says something about this as well. Although the person who had the site and who sponsored me is no longer in the business, his encouragement, along with others in my upline, have kept me on the right track and kept me going.
Thank you for the opportunity to share with you my thoughts. I believe there was a similar question some months ago concerning this same topic. You may want to refer to it as well.

How do I convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses?
Jeannette Gerrard, Aff (District of columbia, US)

This is a very good and interesting question. First of all, let me explain that I know where you're coming from, because I've had bad experiences with other off-line and on-line programs. There was one experience where I was doing extremely well, and then the business just folded up.
I would suggest that you find out what caused this person's hurt at whatever the business was that went wrong. Please note that you do not need to know what the business was or the name of the business or persons involved.
Next, just show the person what you found when you first came to SFI and what made you interested in this business and how you have succeeded thus far. Remember, do this only if the other person genuinely wants to hear about what you are doing and your progress and how this business is different from any other one in the world. Do not force the person to listen to you. If there is no interest shown, move on. You will find the right people. Remember, a person is not rejecting you. Only the concept or the program is being rejected. Don't take it personally.
I am hopeful that this answer will help you as you progress towards success. Have a wonderful day!

How can we shift from quantity to QUALITY with our sign-ups?

Affiliate since: 11/13/2001, Power Rank: 74
I'm not sure how to answer this question or what you may mean by asking this, but I'll try to anser.
First, It is important that you keep signing up affiliates, as many as possible. There is no way to tell if an affiliate will be a quality one.
Be sure to send your welcome message and make sure that the affiliate understands that it takes patience and hard work to run any business. Show affiliates how to get started with this business. You will know the quality of affiliates by their persistence and willingness to work and their motivation. Those affiliates are very few, but those are the ones you give the most attention to, because they are your treasures.

How do you set proper goals for yourself in SFI?
Jeannette Gerrard, Aff (District of columbia, US)

Affiliate since: 11/13/2001, Power Rank: 74
Just use common sense. Start small. Don't set unrealistic goals, but don't make them so small that there is no challenge. It's like exercise or learning to climb mountains.
You don't try to climb Mount Everest first. You learn the basics of mountain climbing. You learn how to use your hands and feet, what to wear, what kinds of harnesses and ropes you should have, how and what to eat and drink, exercise and practice on easier ranges, learn about rocks and climate conditions and the dangers of sudden changes like storms and sudden drops in temperatures and map out your known trail. You learn from others and their experiences.
The same is for your goals in SFI. By learning everything there is to know about this business and the Compensation Plan, you decide what is your pace and work on your short-term and long-term goals. When you reach one, then you begin on the next level. You learn from others and learn by doing. You follow your team leaders and your sponsor and co-sponsor, wherever possible. As you make progress, then you change your goals to fit your rate of that progress.
Have fun on this adventure.

Of all of SFI's Power Tools, which ones works best for you and why?

Of all the SFI power tools, I believe the following have been, and still are, the most successful for me and the most useful:
1. S-Builder Co-Op: This tool really helps me gain new affiliates that have been some of the most successful. Along with that, any co-op that an upline member has given me the opportunity to join partners with S-Builder to keep me moving forward. Since I am not gifted in or as able, because of some compatibility issues, to work with creating blogs or working with social network sites and some other advertising sites on the Internet, this is the best for me. Visual impairment has its drawbacks, but S-Builder and other co-ops help to work around this challenge.
2. Co-Op Manager: This works in partnership with S-Builder and other co-ops to help me reward other affiliates for the great work they do.
3. Gift Certificate Manager: This helps me work with those affiliates who would not otherwise be able to keep their EA status each month.
4. Key Codes: These work with the Co-Ops to help me create my own co-ops and place affiliates in them and see which co-ops are working and which ones are not working.
These tools, along with gift cards and eCards are the ones that work best for me. Choose the ones that work best for you and run with them. I think you will find it very rewarding and fun.
