When explaining to your prospects your relationship with SFI and TripleClicks, there are few important points you need to consider:

- Deliver message clearly

Mention to your prospects SFI business concept: SFI BASICS and make it clear that TripleClicks is your store. Your SFI business is where you do your list of actions in growing your business, education, training and the application of SFI tools and resources extensively to effectively market your SFI business. Your TripleClicks store is where you earn (source of) commission (Direct Commissions, TripleClicks Executive Pool, Co-Sponsor Commissions, etc.) through your customers (downline) every month. You can also include the SFI Compensation Plan and Benefits Chart for more details.

- No matter how excited you are, don’t talk too much and too long. The same is true in written form.

One of the biggest mistakes when approaching and explaining your SFI/TripleClicks opportunity to your prospects is talking too much, for too long. Your enthusiasm is a great attraction; yet talking for hours is not how to approach your prospects if you want to succeed. Sharing all your knowledge about your SFI/TripleClicks opportunity may come across as over-the-top and, even though your intentions are good, you turn your prospect off. The more you talk, the deeper you dig your hole. Your prospects are trying on the opportunity for themselves and thinking, “Wow, I am going to have to learn all this? I am going to have to spend hours and hours talking about this with people? I don’t have time!”

- Keep it quick and simple

A brilliant way to approach your prospects is to have a quick and simple business tool do the talking for you. A good business tool would be a Power Point presentation of your SFI/TripleClicks opportunity of point 1. You can provide to your prospects copies of your presentation in written form or digital format.

- When using your SFI X-Cards in promoting your SFI business always keep a small stash in your wallet, in your car, in your coat pocket, at your desk and in your briefcase. Hand one out every time you talk about your business to anyone, whether a retail clerk, a CEO or someone in line with you in a store.

You need to search in your area for locally owned shops for the best chance to spread your SFI X-Cards.

- Insert your SFI X-Cards onto other materials in mailings and flier campaigns. For example if you roll out an ECA postcard campaign, make sure your SFI X-Card is included in each mailing. Include your SFI X-Card with any written correspondence you send to businesses dealing with your household utilities such as Electricity, Heating and Gas Company and so on.
-
Give small stacks of your SFI X-Cards to friends, family and close contacts in the business world, and ask them to hand out a card to anyone they meet who could be interested in home based business opportunity. Friends and family can act as champions for your brand, especially for industries where personal references can make or break a business.

What to consider which ads are effective in sponsoring quality affiliates will depend mostly on how you define your target groups.

What must be taken into consideration with your ads to sponsor quality affiliates?

- Web traffic

Your web traffic characterizes people that are looking for ways to make money from home. The more targeted your web traffic, the more leads your lead capture page will generate and the more responsive the leads will be when you prospect them.

- Lead Capture Page Format and Layout

A good lead capture page must be visible in a single screen of the browser avoiding scrolling to see the full capture page. Your headline and sub-headline must have enough information to attract your prospect. A very important part of your lead capture page is the web inquiry form. It should include the prospect’s name, email and phone. A video of testimonials relating to the prospect will increase the chances for your signing up your prospects. Make use of the Marketing Aids such as banners and text ads, which can be found in Marketing Center.

Even if you apply the effective marketing method above and express your commitment to your newly acquired affiliates coming from your leads, there is no guarantee that they will commit to SFI and TripleClicks. No matter how effective is your ad, time will tell if they will commit or not. It’s up for the new affiliate to decide. The quality of an affiliate depend on his/her daily performance, consistency and determination to succeed. Each individual has unique personality.

My recommendation: Keep advertising till you reach your primary goal. You alone will know it.

Besides having your own SFI business as a Team Leader with downline, another excellent way to supplement your income is becoming an E-Commerce Associates (ECA). This is a great opportunity to create your own product to sell at TripleClicks, which can be promoted not only by your downline but also by other SFI affiliates.

How can you promote your products to your downline so they’ll want to sell them and/or buy them?

- Communicate your knowledge and understanding of your products.

You can send messages through PSA/CSA Mailer or Genealogy Group Mailer about your products. You can’t talk passionately and say you truly love your products if you haven’t tried or used them yourself. So lead by example and talk about how your products helped you in your SFI business or enhanced your lifestyles. Maybe thousands of your downline will put one of your products on Standing Order so they get it automatically month after month, and year after year. Think how incredible that would be!

- Invest your time to educate your downline about your products.

Promoting your products to your downline is not a one time job. You need to invest time to educate your downline about your products. For example, if you’re offering products about specialized how-to information, you should be able to explain simply and clearly how they work. Don’t forget your downline is your personal company within your SFI business. It is reasonable to expect you to experience the products you are selling, and you can only do that by using them.

- Use your Leadership page/ECA news feed to recommend your products to your downline.

Make sure that your correspondences with your downline through your weekly and monthly newsletter should always contain your Leadership page link. If they are connected with your ECA store, you can send them news feed about special features of your products and offer them hot deals that they can’t resist. Having positive member comments in your ECA store will also help a great deal in promoting your products to your downlines and to other fellow SFI affiliates. And if your products are truly great, you'll aggressively promote them in TripleClicks and because of your passion in your products you'll probably make a lot of sales. For the same reason, your downline and many other SFI affiliates may also decide to promote your products, too. And with each sale worldwide, you’re on your way of maximizing your potential earnings.

Conclusion:

You have created your own products that you love. Build your engine of growth by passing the information that you have acquired about your products to your downline.

It is essential for your downline, who have elected to promote your ECA store to have ample knowledge about your products or services. Take an active role in helping them to gain the knowledge you have acquired. Remember how everything seemed confusing at first and try to break up the learning process into small pieces.

It might be enlightening to your downline if you can to do a short presentation about your products features to help them familiarize with the target market as they promote your products. Constant training and coaching are the best ways to ensure that they give the right answers at the right times to potential customers. It would also be helpful to provide websites, brochures, whitepapers, demonstrations, and any other background information to increase your downline's familiarity with your products.
