This question comes in time for me as I’m planning to start my ECA referral. Some traditional businesses might still be reluctant to establish their presence online.

Where to start?

I have my favorite local stores for buying goods and services. Since, I’m a regular customer, I will hand an ECA Brochure to store manager or if the store manager is not available, I’ll hand the brochure to the check-out clerk/store employee. Ask her/him to deliver it to the owner on my behalf. I’ll request her/him to mention to the owner that I’m a regular customer. I’ll include my business card just in case; they’ll need to ask more information.

Approaching a business prospect, which is skeptical or lack the trust of putting his business online may not be easy at first. You can go back to your starting point in your ECA referral. A first contact should have been made, like purchasing a product/service, before planning to schedule an appointment with the owner/store manager. Before the meeting appointment, prepare yourself in “high level confrontations”. Don’t forget to bring your business card, ECA Brochure and cover letter, printed on TripleClicks Letterhead. Place them all inside a TripleClicks Enverlope to be handed at the end of the meeting. During the conversation, you can show your TripleClicks transactions in form of receipts. It is a good idea to print your TripleClicks receipt every time you order and place it in a binder.

Don’t forget to thank the owner/store manager at the end of the meeting by saying like this: “I appreciate your time and hope that TripleClicks can become a successful new outlet for your business soon.”

You can do a follow up call.

If you have to decide to purchase your own share of S-Builder Co-op and also participate in buying an upline member's Co-op, it will certainly helps to look at the benefits of both Co-op.

By comparing them both, you'll be armed with important information to run your SFI business efficiently.

Benefits of S-Builder Co-op:

- Save time by plugging in to SFI global advertising co-op. S-Builder is SFI's new, international, multi-channel advertising co-op.

- Units (shares) of S-Builder cost as little as $22. For just 72 cents a day, you can build a residual income stream. S-Builder is one of most economical ways to build an online business ever!

- Allows you in modest means to participate in large-scale advertising campaigns and share in the results without a significant investment.

- Like any other co-op, it is an investment nonetheless, and no specific results are guaranteed, and no refunds are available.

- Receive sign-ups (both SFI affiliates and TC members) and you can split the cost of S-Builder units with any of your PSA's or CSAs who buy a unit (or units).

- Expected results will be satisfactory but no assurances. If the co-op does great, all participants will share in this good fortune. But conversely, if the co-op does not do well, all participants will similarly share in its lack of results. Make certain, before you purchase any units, that you understand this. And under no circumstances should you invest any money into S-Builder Co-op that you cannot afford to lose.

- Limited number of spots available in the S-Builder Co-op and can be set up, or add S-Builder units to your existing Standing Order.

Depending on your upline's co-op, you'll need to find out the specifics of the co-op before deciding to participate. You can inquire about the cost of participation, sign-ups allocation, rules of participation and so on. After comparing both co-op, decide which one to join or join both.

When a newly sponsored affiliate completed his/her affiliate profile, SFI will send an Affiliate Profile notification to his/her sponsor.
The affiliate profile that includes the profile scores can be an excellent leadership tool to identify potential stars in your downline.

Understanding the Profile Scores:

- SFI has a system in place that reviews the responses of your affiliates, who have responded to questions on their Affiliate Profiles.

- Each response has a corresponding point value assigned to help identify affiliates who have:

1. Set high goals

2. Committed to investing significant time or money into their own SFI business

3. Experienced in network marketing or Internet marketing

4. Possessed leadership experience, and so on.
- These point values are all added altogether to create the affiliate's Profile Score.

- In evaluating each of your affiliates based on their profile scores, there are limitations on how much weight you should put on. Keep in mind that the score is only a number based on Affiliate Profile responses. A high score does not guarantee a future Diamond Team Leader. Likewise, a low score doesn't necessarily indicate that an affiliate will likely become inactive and opt out.
