Since SFI has been around for many years, is the playing field fair for someone who have just started in SFI like me?

Having a fair playing field is not really the issue.

Those who have been around for years have had to work hard to get to where they are today. It was not handed to them on a plate, they did not inherit it and they did not obtain what they have by just pure luck. There is no such thing. Its through having the wisdom to recognize opportunities, the drive, the determination and willingness to work hard and make sacrifices that they are where they are today.

An effective Team Leader in SFI is an Awesome Sponsor.

A 'Leader' is in reality a servant of the people he/she leads. It’s a service position. A politician is looked upon as a leader but his role is to serve the people of his constituent/country. SFI Team Leaders are the same.

We do not have to be born leaders, we just need the will to serve others, to help others be successful in the business.

We may not have the abilities to make long speeches and stir up

My standing order is the 125 TCredit pack. This is at a special price for SO and with 1500 VP, it qualifies me automatically for EA status every month. I believe this to be the best.

I use the TCredits for bidding at the auctions and playing the games in order to win more TCredits for the purpose of bidding at the auctions on those items that help grow my business. This is why I prefer TCredits.

You can try combinations of TCredit packs to collect 1500 VP or more but I still

The short answer to the question is that you are expected to lead your team. You already know this and I suspect that the question really is - "How are you expected to lead a team?"

Any person that is in a legitimate leadership role is in effect in a service role. Presidents and kings and politicians etc all have one role in common and that is to serve their subjects, citizens and country.

You as a team leader, like it or not, but your role is to serve your team.

Is it better to build a team within your own spoken language and environment...or go beyond these boundaries ?

This is an international business and I would recommend against restricting yourself building a team with only those who speak your language. English is the language that SFI uses and this is an international language that is used and taught throughout the world. It is a second language for a lot of people.
I would say that at the begining while you are building your team, recruit far and wide throughout the world. As your team grows and leaders emerge, have a look at where those leaders

What should I do when I receive inactive CSAs?

When you receive your assignment of CSAs, have a look at the date they joined SFI. You will notice that overall there are two types of inactive CSAs – those who have just joined and those who have been forfeited from other affiliates and reassigned to you.

I would suggest that you treat those who have just joined SFI in a manner similar to the way you treat your new PSAs. They are valuable, they need help and support and you will reap the fruits of your labour with them in due

How can I win a Pricebenders auction?

Auctions are really a competition. You are competing with others and those who have the stamina, the more robust strategy and enough TCredits to back it up win.

Here are my suggestions:

- I would suggest that you start off with 1WA auctions – those restricted only to those who have never won a Pricebenders auction before. In this way you are competing with those who are more or less of the same experience as yourself. Stay away from the more advanced auctions until you

Why is it good to participate in the new Eager Zebra game(s)?

The first reaction to this question is simply say that we participate in order to win those TCredits. That answer would be correct up to a certain point.

You see, it is good to participate because not only do you have the chance to win big on TCs but it also satisfies the urge to respond to a challenge. Many of us have this urge and some are very competitive. We only have to watch how some people behave and bid on the Pricebender auctions.

While entry to the game is cheap,

Which is the best way to receive your SFI commissions (Payoneer, PayPal, check, etc.)?

I would recommend the Payoneer TripleClicks MasterCard over all the other methods of receiving your commission.

The main reason for this is convenience. There is no need to wait for days or weeks to receive in the mail your commission cheques. Your money is loaded directly onto your card and you can use your card worldwide wherever MasterCards are accepted. There will be an initial one-time fee but it is far less costly than all the other methods of receiving payment.

Should my ads link to my own webpage/blog...or to an SFI Gateway? Which is the best approach and why?

Its really a matter of preference.

If you are going to link your ads to your webpage/blog make sure the landing page is where your prospects can fill out the form for them to join SFI. You dont want them to do another action to fill the form out. Chances are that they would not and you would loose the prospects if they have to go elsewhere to fill the forms out.

Linking your ads to the SFI Gateways is a great way of minimising the risk of loosing prospective affiliates
