I use both, Individual and Team Mail.

The new e-cards, are very effective, as an eye-catcher. I use the "Welcome e-cards" for each individual, with a short welcome message, and advising them to read team mail, for
advise in how to start and make their first 500 VP

I also follow with other e-cards, if they make 500 VP, in first 24 hours, or attain EA
as well as contacting affiliates that "do not move"

As per Team mail, I send them a series

If I had $100.00 to spend to maximize my SFI business I would

1 Have a SO for S-Builder $22.00( I would start to get affiliates, and so start my duplication)

2 Have a SO for 125 PKT TCredits $36.25 ( 1500 VP , plus 100 VP for SO)With this I can
reward my "working" affiliates, bid in auctions for PSA's or CSA's to help build my
business

3 Have a SO for IAHBE $29.95 (1500 VP, plus 100 VP for SO)This is very good for new or

I think if you are honest from the word "go" and tell all your prospectives affiliates that no one is going to get "Rich overnight", but anyone can make a good income with a little work, and a lot of patience, "Rome was not built in a day", does apply very aptly to SFI.

Teach all prospects that they have free tools: Yourself as the sponsor, Ask SC, Forum, a2a friends, a very good Internet course, a free website, a good Store, where they can sell either their

Organizing a competition, can motivate you affiliates, to really get interested.
I run different competitions, for all generations including CSA's, and anyone that meets the requirements can win TCredits; Gift Vouchers and PSA's from 1 up to 50 PSA's

Competitions can be for fast Track; reaching 1500 VP; starting to recruit, and so much more, it really is up to you, how you organize you competitions, and to whom

I do advise however, from my own experience, that sending PSA's

Is it wise to 'bribe' your downline with Gift Certificates, TCredits or other incentives? Or does this practice come back and bite you?

I give all my team members a GC if they make 500 VP, in 24 hours. I also reward the ones who make EA with a few TCredits, and If they make BTL the first 2 get a GC as well.

I find this helps and motivates the ones that really want to work, and you always find the odd one, that just wants a free ride, but most of the time it works.

So I would say, if you can afford, to give some form of incentive, to a well deserve affiliate do so, but let your team know, it only goes to "workers",

When new members join SFI, the first steps should be to do all the Actions in Getting-Started that have a plane next to them, as this actions will ensure that:

They have confirmed their registration, have whilisted SFI e-mail, send a commitment mail to you as the sponsor, fill in their affiliate profile, and uploading their photo.

Confirming registration and whitelisting SFI, will ensure the person is serious, as well as you have a good e-mail address to contact the new member

I am going to reply to your question using my own experiences

First I always look at new Affiliates Profile information, if they have done it, this will give me an idea if the affiliate is good at Internet Marketing, what the expectations are upon joining SFI, and more

Second step, is to see if this new member has started to recruit already, from my experience if you get new affiliates and they start recruiting within the first week, even before they reach EA, this is someone

I think many affiliates join because it is free to join, and it is easy to just click and get VP by just clicking.

Many will do all the Launchpad lessons in one to 2 days, just for the VP, and not follow through with all the links
in the various lessons, so they loose the basic learning in how to work SFI/ TripleClicks

majority of the people who join think they will become rich overnight, and when it dawns in them, that they have
to do at least an hour's work every

I have all 3, but prefer the SBuilder and TCredits. Both of this I use to reward my hard working affiliates when certain targets are met. For example you can send 2 TCredits if an affiliate meets the fast track badge, or give one share of SBuilder, to an affiliate that has meets the 1500 VP within a month, and has proved that he/ she is keen to work

Hope this helps, see you at the top

I always tell my new affiliates to make it a point of using the Forum, regularly as it is like an encyclopedia
you can get answers to virtually any question you can think of, as well as the lighter side of " just for fun"

It does not matter if your query is about VP's or Pricebenders or games, you will find the answers there, not to
mention you read about all the different views of members from different parts of the world.
