The best ways to recruit is to talk with, send SFI x-cards or e-mails to your family and friends. Ask them if they know anyone looking for a job or extra money. I like the personal tough of talking with people.
If you know anyone that's in or has been in marketing/sales or owns a business, these can be good leads. A lot of people are looking for extra income.
Make sure to keep in contact with the people you've already talked with. It may not have been a good time then or they may have

Hi Tricia,

If you live outside of the United States, you will probably be are able to sell items in other countries.
It is very expensive to send products out of the United States, so it would probably be a good idea to sell just in the United States.

The reason?
I use a drop shipper, but they do not ship outside the United States, so I decided to try to ship products to other countries myself.
I was selling a product to a nice affiliate that lives in Australia.

By promoting TripleClicks to find new ECAs and PRMs, you will be able to receive a percentage

Hi Mohammed,

This is a hard question to answer and resolve. I have a couple of affiliates that have very limited internet access. I send more communications and advise them to work when they can, which they do. It is must be very discouraging and defeating for them. It's hard for them to become a team leader and to advertise their business on line regularly.

Here is some tips I have sent to help them.

If there is an area not too far that has better internet access:

Hi Michael,

I can only give you an outline of what I send as the first message.

1) Make it short so they will read it.

2) Introduce yourself

build their new online business with free expert training)

4) I explain they have not joined a 'GET RICH QUICK' business because we don't do that
here.

5) Explain SFI is a legitimate

Hi John.

I believe there are several thing that can "turn off" new affiliates, but avoiding talking about these could also send them away.
Because people can sign up for free, many will and never come back again.
A lot of new affiliates will not continue for several reasons. I try to address these to new PSAs & CSAs right away. My theory is, if they aren't going to work, they might as well keep surfing. Some will come back later and some won't.

Hi Christine,

Not having a credit card will not be a problem for anyone that is an SFI affiliate.

TripleClicks.com offers more than 40 payment options for affiliates worldwide.

To see the payment options available for your PSA's country, go to: https://www.tripleclicks.com/myaccount/payment_options.php

Your PSA can choose their preferred option during the checkout process too.

Some countries do have limited payment options and this is why

Hi David,

This is a good question, because many will put in money and then get upset about their commission.

Many new affiliates forget that they are receiving the commission for only showing up daily and doing the actions. Here are some suggestions to tell your affiliate.

We also can receive so many free items from the contest on SFI & TripleClicks as:

1) When new affiliates signs up, they are automatically entered into the E365 Entrepreneur Challenge.

Hi Lilian!

The most effective motivation that I've found to get affiliates to qualify for EA or Bronze Team Leader, is to set up a contest.
You can give Gift Certificates or TCredits as the prize. You can give these to your PSA's and CSA's
Please note that Gift Cards cannot be given to affiliates, you must use Gift Certificates.

May you be successful in your business.
