Team Support!

Team Leaders should focus on communicating and supporting their group in the following order:

1) Personally refereed Affiliates to include Team Leaders should be your first priority.

2) Team Leaders within your 12 levels.

3) Non-Team Leaders within your 12 levels.

Use the 80/20 rule when managing you time supporting your group. You can NOT be everything to everyone!

Support your Team by answering questions or showing them where to find answers, giving direction and passing on action oriented strategies that produce results. I would also say that a TL should pass on information that pertains to personal growth as this is a critical part of growing a successful business.

The fact that you're asking empowering question(s) means you're on the right path! Building your SFI and TripleClicks businesses, like all businesses, is a process. You'll find that when testing everything in your business that some strategies work well and others do not work well at all. Your challenge is to use the 80/20 rule and keep what works and while discarding what produces unacceptable results. I would suggest:

1) Consider the source(s) of your leads and how each source affects your results. If you find that a high percentage of your Affiliates that do EA the first month don't EA2 the second month then that means they don not have any funds to invest in a business. I recommend you closely examine the demographics of those leads and make some different advertising choices.

2) Use a/b split testing to improve your entire marketing process from the placing of ads to the converting of leads to Affiliates and/or Sales. You may see this referred to as the "sales funnel". You want leads to go into the top of the funnel and sales to come out of the bottom. It's a system!

3) Develop a support strategy that you apply to your business no matter what the level of activity may be at any given point. In other words if you email a weekly newsletter then everyone gets it and not just your active Affiliates. You never know when the time will be right for someone to become active in "their" business.

4) Stress different benefits in your support system to try and wake-up as many different personalities as possible. Some Affiliates are looking for more income, some for more time, some for location freedom and some for all three! There's an old saying that your prospect's radio station is tuned to WIIFM (What's In It For Me).

5) When it comes to product and service marketing the #1 strategy to focus on is learning how to impart the benefits of what you represent in a way that causes your customers to purchase. The bottom-line is that you're in the problem solving business and your customers must believe your product or service will, in fact, solve their problem. If you compete on price alone you'll NEVER survive! Features tell, but benefits sell!

If you use the 80/20 rule, a/b split testing and you develop your own lead and support system then it's not a matter of if it's a matter of when you'll be successful! What are "you" working for: Income, Time or Location Freedom?

KEEP ASKING EMPOWERING QUESTIONS!

For the sake of clarity there's going to be two parts to this answer. The first part will cover "your" potential involvement in SFI and the second part will cover SFI's business opportunity potential in the international market place.

Part 1

SFI, as a company, places significant value on it's opportunity being an equal opportunity for all involved. No matter what an Affiliate's ethnicity, gender, religious beliefs or political position may be they'll be welcomed to the SFI Team. Some of the most successful SFI Affiliates have been involved in the opportunity "only" a few years. The bottom-line is that you could start today and become the #1 Affiliate in all of SFI. It's possible!

Part 2

Please allow me to start with a few "very" short stories:

a) My first exposure to this type of business was in 1981 at the age of 18. I attended an opportunity meeting of a very old and established company and thought to myself "The market MUST be saturated" and therefore had no interest. That company is still in operation today, 33 years later, and it's still growing in almost every country in the world.

b) Back in 1999 I joined an opportunity that was in excess of 100 years old. Yes, over 100 years old! We saw opportunity in that no one was using national and international advertising or what was called "Direct Response Marketing" techniques at the time. Within two years our team became the #1 group in the company. We simply applied better strategies to access the same market place in a more efficient manner. We basically signed the exact same type of team members as those that had been in the business for decades, BUT we did it more effectively. We used the 80/20 rule as our guiding principle! That income stream exists to this day!

My point is that real market saturation does not exist! If saturation did exist then every human being on the planet would believe the exact same thing(s). There would be no diversity! There would be no growth!

The world is becoming one market place! Each decade brings new freedoms and opportunities for the citizens of the world. My experience, after doing this full-time for decades, is that the international market place will evolve and successful opportunities will evolve with it! SFI has evolved each and every year since it was founded. SFI has adjusted to the market place. SFI is a growth oriented opportunity. The market place will never be saturated so the playing field will be fair no matter when an Affiliate decides it's time to seriously pursue the SFI Business Opportunity!

Bonus Suggestion: Learn about the 80/20 rule and focus on lead systems.

I would recommend that you plug your new CSAs into the system that you should already have in place:

1) Send them a "get to know you" email which makes it clear that you're focused on helping "them" succeed.

2) Provide access to your best tips for success or something similarly titled.

3) Communicate with them weekly.

4) Work with the workers. Follow the 80/20 rule in everything you do!

This whole process should be systemized in order to make you efficient. I can't emphasize this enough!

I'll conclude with pointing out that your new CSAs are just like you in that they're trying to get ahead. Pay special attention to ANY communication your receive. Look for keys as to what benefits the Affiliate is looking for from their SFI business and then give them the best advice you can on how to take action.

The #1 consideration before making your Commission Payment choice, in my opinion, is do you currently have a Credit, Charge or Debit card that you can use for business purposes. If not, then I would strongly recommend the TripleClicks MasterCard from Payoneer. The reason is that in order to build an "internet based business" you'll need to make various online product and service purchases to include, for example, advertising which is CRITICAL to your success (Remember the 80/20 rule as you'll need lead systems). Learn about the TripleClicks MasterCard from Payoneer here:

If you have a Credit, Charge or Debit card that you can use for business purposes then:

1) If you live in the United States I would recommend ACH Direct Deposit into your checking account.

2) If you live outside the United States I would recommend PayPal. Learn more about PayPal here:

3) If you live outside the United States and your country, for whatever reason, does not have PayPal then I would recommend the TripleClicks MasterCard from Payoneer.

One of the most important business strategies I've ever used is to find those that have done what I want to do and then do what they did to succeed. With that in mind if your objectives are:

1) Income Freedom (do what you want).

and...

2 Time Freedom (do it when you want).

and...

3) Location Freedom (do it where you want).

I would strongly suggest you start with the end in mind and focus on the strategy that will bring those benefits to your life. The strategy I'm suggesting is building a team of Affiliates. My recommendation is based on the 80/20 rule.

If you focus on building a team of Affiliates you'll end up with every possible earning opportunity being represented within your group. The secret to this strategy is that everyone is an individual and will respond to SFI in a different way. If you focus on the SFI Business Opportunity then anyone looking to earn additional income will become your prospect.

I learned to focus on the business opportunity back in the 80's from those that had built large income streams. What I experienced was incredible to say the least! For example, over the years I've had the privilege of sponsoring individuals that would RETAIL over $100,000 per year in products (amazing). I ended up with teams of individuals pursuing their dreams each in a slightly unique way. This is also when I learned that 100% duplication was a myth. What is actually duplicated is the dedication to the process of building a business. I learned that the best way to duplicate was to focus on the generic business opportunity.

The bottom-line is that I recommend you respect each member of your team no matter how they pursue their business. However, if you wish to build an income that gives you Income, Time and Location Freedom then focus on building a team of Affiliates.

Step 1) You should consult with anyone in your upline who may have experience with LocalPay in your country.

Step 2) Determine your choices here.

Step 3) Do your "due diligence" and start investigating each candidate. What are others saying? This is the most critical part of the process as you do not want to waste resources like time and money when you get to step 4.

Step 4) Rank your choices and then test their service(s). Start with your first choice and if need be move down the list.

The process of choosing a LocalPay provider that is efficient and reliable should not take very long if you focus. I recommend you keep your LocalPay provider relationship professional as you may need to make changes, in the future, based on your business needs.

I've addressed this issue, as a full-time marketer, for well over two decades and quality over quantity is a BIG challenge. Through testing we've found that the more you qualify a prospect the higher your "per lead" cost. You need to find a balance between the level you qualify your prospects and the actual results you receive from those that convert to Affiliates and then to EA2 or above. The following recommendations are for intermediate to advanced Affiliates.

1) Track the "per lead" cost from your advertising.

2) Track the "per Affiliate" conversion cost from your advertising.

3) Track the EA2 conversion cost of the Affiliates from your advertising.

4) Track the EA2 "burn rate" from your advertising. This would be how long they stay active as an EA2 or above.

5) Determine which leads within your "lead system" overall convert the best, based on 1 to 4, and then "scale up" what you did to generate and convert those leads. Use a/b split testing through every step of the process!

You can use paper, a spreadsheet or even a database to perform steps 1 to 5. You do NOT need a complicated system!

My opinion, based on 28 years of using "lead systems", is that quality is about the bottom-line financial results and nothing else! I see nothing wrong with exposing large numbers of "individuals" to the SFI system and letting them make their own decision(s) about where they're at in life and how SFI may or may not fit right "now". Do the math associated with your "lead system" and let the numbers tell you what to do and not do!

You'll want to define exactly what you want from your business so you can work backwards to determine the hours per week needed to achieve your goal(s). I strongly recommend studying the concept of the 80/20 rule (the Pareto Principle - Google it). After you understand the concept of the 80/20 rule then focus your time on learning the skills needed to produce maximum results toward attaining your goal(s). The more efficient you become the less hours per week will be needed to attain the results you need! Stay focused on being effective and don't get distracted by "activities" that do not produce results!
