Effective communication is very essential to be able to properly render assistance and guidance to your team members, otherwise the intent of your communication may be misinterpreted on delivery and the objective not achieved as a result, because your downline may respond as you did not intend.

Please see below some suggestions to effectively communicate with your downline to get your intended results:


1. It is more effective to send messages that highlight the benefits rather than just spending, otherwise your downline may think you are exploiting them or being selfish.

2. Respond to and act on their queries and concerns as quick as you can, in a consistent way and without unnecessary delay.

3. In your communication with them, deploy all the elements of professionalism, politeness, decency and treat them like your business partners, not like your workers.

4. Resist the temptation of undue persistence if your guidance is disregarded, else your team members may see you as disrespectful and arrogant. Perception matters a lot in communication because the effectiveness of your communication or lack of it may be attributed to how your downline see you or think of you.

5. Do not be too negative in your communication because it may result in de-motivating your downline. For example, instead of a message like ‘you will only be successful here if you set up a standing order’, while not frame the message like ‘standing order has been very helpful to my SFI business and below are some of the benefits for your consideration...’

6. You should always remember to recognise and praise those in your team who achieve some milestones, while encouraging others who are not up to speed. Now look at this; instead of a message that says 'you need to be hardworking here because this business is not for lazy people or tyre kickers’, it may be more effective to say ‘I observed you missed some important actions for some time now, is there any way I can help out?

7. It is good for our team members to duplicate our success, however, you may need to recognise at the same time that no two people are the same and you may not be able to create your team members in your own image. As a consequence of this, you should kindly recognise the diverse characteristics of your team and where appropriate, employ different communication methods in accordance with these characteristics.

8. I recognise is may often be difficult to communicate in such a way as to make everyone understand or reason with your message, however, try as much as you can to use very simple, precise and unequivocal grammar and let your message be devoid of words or phrases that may be misinterpreted.

9. Where possible, you may make use of the new TeamMail feature that allows us to use Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Cyrillic characters, or other non-Western alphabets.

10. Act like you are the recipient and go through your communication, in order to determine the impact before you send it to your downline.

Kindly note that, your communication is effective if your downline is able to understand it and does not necessarily mean they must act on it.

The is a global and online business with people from different countries and all works of life, so there is not much of a difference between how you help affiliates within your country and your affiliates outside of it, to advance in SFI. However, there are specific strategic tweaks you may need to deploy in order to provide specific assistance or resolve peculiar issues common to certain countries or regions.

Let’s see, first, what are some peculiar circumstances that tend to deter advancement of affiliates from some countries or region? payment option, shipping fees, language barrier, culture/tradition etc, so I will advice to resolve these issues with the suggestions below:

1. You may want to develop a much more simplified blue print on how SFI works, with a clear direction on how to get started and advance, probably on what to do at each stage of their advancement in SFI. You may therefore decide to send this blue print by segments to your affiliates as they progress, in order to reduce the initial confusion and have a clear direction moving forward.

2. Many of your affiliates from other countries may not understand English and may not also understand your language if different from theirs, as the case may often be. What you do here are 2 folds; first, let them be aware that there is a Translation feature at the bottom right corner , just above the country flag on all the pages they will navigate at SFI/TC. They can choose their own language or a similar one. Secondly, in your communication with them you may use Google translation service or any other that provides the best translation outcome for you and advice your affiliates to do the same.

However, the SFI system now supports non-Western alphabets and characters in the PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, and TeamMail , so you can use this feature to create and send messages to your affiliates around the world whose languages are written using Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Cyrillic characters, or other non-Western alphabets..

3. Encourage them to register in My Country or My Region forums where they can participate in discussion with their fellow affiliates from the same country or geographical location. This will increase the impetus of your affiliates and make them feel at ‘home’ because they belong to an environment where issues common to them are discussed, even in their own language.

4. In the case of TC payment and shipping issues, direct them to the ECAs participating in the Local pay and Tcurrency program in their country or region, in order to reduce shipping fees if they buy products from these ECAs or/and to provide alternative source of payment by purchasing Tcurrency. Another benefit of this is that your affiliates can pay the Local Pay ECAs by any method acceptable to them and seller. Once this issue is resolved, your affiliates will have the potential to advance in this business if this was a serious setback initially.

5. Cultural, religious and traditional backgrounds in some countries forbid the intermingling between men and women in any form, even through digital communication like we do here. It is therefore important to use your welcome letter to ask anyone with this concern to let you know. Then on notice, you have to promise to steer clear or the affiliate should steer clear. This means you have to not chat or send specific email directed to such persons.

The maintenance of this kind of silent relationship may improve the advancement of such affiliates. Even if you do not request for such information in your welcome letter, be weary of the opposite sex in your team, who do not chat back when you initiate one, don’t reply your messages even when you request for a reply, don’t respond to your stream posts when you praise or recognise them, don’t show appreciation when you send a gift etc, some of these factors may be holding them back and when you persist, they are off.

In conclusion, you can see that most of the tools you need to build a successful business by assisting all your team members, outside and within your country are here, so you need to deploy an effective balance of these tools in order to get the maximum results, good luck my friend.

I will not say the best way, but rather how you can gain experience at the auctions to assist you in making an informed decision on Pick the Price (PTP). It is important as a first step to be a regular observer of the auctions and may be a participant too.

When you observe or/and participate, you will begin to understand the price range with which certain products are won, the time of the day and the associated prices at which they are won, including the behavior of participants.

In certain cases for example auction may be won cheaply where only one 'big dog' is in participation and where he/she starts bidding early. Different time zones may have the effect of unleashing different caliber of participants at the auctions, while the behavior of participants ranges from those who are risk averse, risk takers, to those with pride and ego. Therefore, there is need to understand these intricacies when making a decision on PTP.

Please note that these explanations are not themselves sacrosanct in nature and therefore guarantee that this pattern will always be the case. This is because the auctions can be very dynamic and erratic at times and most importantly, the line between the issues I mentioned above are gradually becoming blurred and it may just boil down to share luck.

Make Money Online: The Difference SFI Makes

Most people are interested in earning money online in the comfort of their homes but lack the patience to thoroughly explore the possibility and the determination to work for success consequently, they quit even before they give it a chance to succeed.

However, there are some internet business opportunities offered by some organisations that create the impression that it is all about extortion, deceit and selfish attitude by such organisations. This impression is exacerbated by the complex nature and pay first attitude of some internet business opportunity programmes because most people who may be interested in the programme are either financially squeezed to afford requested initial investment or they are simply risk averse, waiting to fully understand and earn something first before making any investment decision.

Another important factor is that most organisations offer only a single route to achieving success in internet marketing and the inherent risk associated with this strategy is that prospects who may not be interested in that kind of route have no alternative. Another problem is that lack of diversification tends to increase the risk of failure in internet business; that is the more avenues you have, from which to earn money, the more opportunity for success. This is where SFI is different from many other internet based business opportunities.

In SFI you do not have to invest or spend money to succeed if you choose not to and there are several alternative routes you can take to succeed. However, I will be deceiving you to claim that investment is not necessary at all, but the difference as far as SFI is concerned is that you may choose to work harder without investing and the decision to invest or not to is entirely yours and not a mandatory requirement.

In this organisation, we provide the track that will lead you to success by our superb training materials in all aspects of our business to keep you going. This means lack of knowledge or experience in internet business will not be an obstacle to success in SFI. We offer various routes from which you can make money including:

• Team building where you earn money from the activities of the team
• Sales where you earn a lot of commissions
• E-Commerce Associate and personal referrals where you also earn a lot of commission
• PPA referral programme where you earn a once-off commission based on their activities
• Actions, sales, purchases and referral points that earn you shares (cash)in the executive pool

As you can see, there are various areas and you may decide to select a niche, a combination or all of the above areas to focus on.

In SFI you choose how you want to work and we do not limit your chances of success because the only person who can limit your chances of success is you. Most of the above mentioned areas are carried out by personal advertisement and the nature of it depends on you. Those who want to go the free route choose to place advertisement on free sites and also patronise their warm markets, while those who choose to invest go the paid route. Personally some of my advertisements are on the free sites and they are successful.

SFI is not a get-rich-quick business like other genuine businesses so you have to build it like an office which you open daily in order to attend to the needs of the business and in return, you earn a steadily rising income stream, most of them lasting forever. By forever, I mean even after death, SFI succession plan ensures that beneficiaries can inherit the income stream you have created as a result of your past actions. This means that the fruit of your hard work endures forever.

In SFI everything happens in real time so you will be able to see the status of all your actions as they happen and at the score board, you will see the income you are generating in real time. Apart from your cash commission, there is also a robust compensation plan when you achieve certain heights. There are various methods from which you can choose to be paid; TC Master Card, PayPal and check or you may choose to accumulate it until you request it to be paid using any of the above methods.

Another important aspect of SFI is that as a member, you are allowed to sell your unwanted stuff for free on your personalised page at TripleClicks, the buying and selling division and you can also become an E-Commerce Associate (ECA) if you opt to sell new stuff. The ECA programme is specifically designed for small businesses like yours and you can take advantage of this infrastructure to improve your revenue. You can then imagine how much sales you can generate when your products/services are exposed to about 1.7 million members. Another good thing is that the members will buy your products and also assist you in advertising them to the outside world.

However, in whatever you do in SFI, be ready to learn by taking advantage of the training materials and avail of the wealth of knowledge offered at the forum, Q&A interactive and your team leader. So come join me at SFI and enjoy the wonderful world of internet income opportunity, Aim High and Dream Big! SFI offers the opportunity you have been waiting for as long as internet business opportunity is concerned.

You should avoid information overload in your first letter which is supposed to be a welcome letter. Remember also that SFI sends messages to them too so there may be need to avoid unnecessary duplication.

No matter how great your site is, if you do not engage in creative ways to attract traffic to it, you will find out that it may just remain in a relative unnoticed area on the internet. The major issue here is what you need to do to make people pay attention to you, so you therefore need to engage in attention grabbing habits as far as attracting traffic to your SFI website is concerned because good designs, pictures and animations of your website are not sufficient. Some of the methods I use include content marketing, blogging and gifting/offer.

Create a very WOW blog were you get people's attention by delivering outstanding and memorable contents on a continuous basis. Use very attractive titles and ensure you express the main intent of your article precisely and concisely. It may be counterproductive to clutter an article with different topics, so I advice you discuss a topic per article. Do not just write to attract people, you need to retain people also by requesting for subscribers in order to develop a database and build relationships. Very amazing blog writings have a huge capacity to draw a lot of high calibre visitors to your SFI website. You may write about a fantastic product, what works best for you, why you fired your boss, how to reverse poverty by going it alone etc.

You know the power of free stuff on the internet, so explore it to attract traffic to your SFI website. One good example is to give away the SFI gift card, a personalised domain, a recipe for thanksgiving dinner, a very useful e-book, videos, software or tutorials, by advertising them on social media networks and other free ad sites but always link them to your SFI website. Your target is not just those you give theses freebies to, but also encourage then to give it to their sphere of influence and interactions like contacts, in order to maximise the potential traffic from this method.

Another one is for you to participate in traffic exchanges, banner ads, text ad exchanges, safelists, email advertising etc There is a lot of participants and therefore offer an alternative source of traffic to your SFI website. There are various free ones to join such just look for then online.

You may also need to be attached to a particular niche and write on other peoples' blogs as guest and include your SFI website link. This source of traffic has the potential to attract good amount of traffic if you attach a catch like making an offer or a freebie.

It is important to note that the above methods do not constitute a silver bullet approach to attracting visitors to your website, it could be frustrating at times but you need patience, determination and persistence before they start to yield positive results.

Senior citizens tend to be more loyal and stick with an easy and precise form of an income opportunity like SFI, so the immediate necessary step is to determine the location of senior citizens within any demographic by using both online and offline demographic records like social networks, community centres, retirees’ networks etc.

Having made this determination, you are now left to formulate appropriate marketing strategies to attract them to SFI because the 65 years and older are changing: they are living longer, are more active, and becoming increasingly literate online.

Should you launch a direct mail campaign, concentrate on focused events, advertise locally, attend senior expos, use radio, continue with community outreach or develop an e-marketing strategy? All of the above is a better strategy depending on the circumstance, but you may precisely do the following:

1. Senior citizens appear to be more attracted to simple direct mail and face to face prospecting than a web based or email prospecting, so reach this identified target group by inviting them to an event or a seminar, bearing in mind that senior citizens like to attend fun events and giveaways, so make it attractive. You may also sponsor events at senior centres and join community organizations that cater for seniors.etc. The key is to capture useful contact information of all the attendees for subsequent contacts and follow ups without being too pushy

2. Senior citizens like to establish trust, so you may need to build some relationships and gradually position yourself as a truthful and straight forward business person in order to win their hearts and minds before you introduce them to SFI.

3. Organise your advertisement at the appropriate times and places where senior citizens are likely to pay attention like community centres, news cycle involving seniors, when particularly active on their social networks and Look for promotional opportunities in senior-focused newsletters and magazines,.

4. Make the content of your advertisements and other marketing materials large and legible because seniors often have vision impairments, and difficulties in reading your message may likely make them to ignore it.

5. Network with the professionals that often work with senior citizens, like home care aids, estate and succession planners, beauty shop owners with a large senior clientele. If you can convince such business owners to allow you to place ads or fliers within their establishments, there is a good chance more seniors will find out about SFI.

6. Seniors prefer personal interactions to web-based instruction or computer-generated call features. You may therefore need to personally explain and demonstrate precisely and clearly how SFI works, relating it to how it can help secure part or all future financial obscurity.

These do not mean that web based marketing strategies are not effective, they are to some extent because senior citizens are now becoming more internet savvy and are becoming more socially engaged online and also use search engines. It will not be imprudent to explore some e-marketing strategies also but I think to convert senior citizens, direct mail and events may be more successful.

The main method of encouraging participation in the Eager Zebra games is to highlight the benefits in such a way that your team members are convinced that it is quite possible to get those benefits if they play the games or that those benefits are achievable. As you can see, you need to sell the benefits, prove that it can be achieved or that it has been achieved and how it helps their SFI businesses.


BENEFITS

I will not go into the details of the benefits here but I will encourage you to communicate the benefits to your team members:

- Competition prizes to be won
- Badges for bragging rights
- Keeps you engaged in your SFI business


PROVE THAT IT CAN BE ACHIEVED

Seeing they say is believing and since some people wait for others to make the first move before they follow, you have to convince you team members by always referring them to where winners list all displayed for EZ games winners. You may also need to refer them to powerful testimonials in forum post by winners.


DEMONSTRATE ITS USEFULNESS IN SFI BUSINESS

Here you have to show that participating in EZ games is not only for fun or just the associated benefits, but how those benefits can be used to boost their SFI business. You have to let them know that these prizes include Tcredits and MRP which will be very useful in boosting certain aspects of their businesses. One very important usefulness is for team building because there are EZ games gateways for prospecting online games enthusiasts who will become your PRMs and maybe PSAs, when they signup through these gateways.


To conclude, let them know they have nothing to lose in case they don’t win if they concentrate on participating on the free games. Please do not stop here as it is not supposed to always be about freebies, so tell them that the cost of entering each game is not very significant compared to the potential return of winning a prize.

One of the major ways to build a sustainable residual income is through VP match, earned from the efforts of your downline. It is therefore in both your own interest and the interest of members of your team to help build their downlines. This does not mean you have to do their work for them but that you have a crucial role to play in advising, guiding and assisting the members of your team in not just building their downlines but building active ones by:


SPONSORING

You need to assist them on the various methods of sponsoring including how and where to advertise. You may start by introducing them to free ad sites while you also encourage paid ad sites where possible. Encourage them to make it simple by also prospecting their warm market. You as the team leader may guide them to place their sponsoring gateways in relevant media, usually where you advertise yours if you are okay with it.


CO-OP

I deliberately separated this from the above because it has to do with you organising this using the SFI Co-op Manager tools where you bring in members of your team as co-op participants. By this, signups are directly delivered to the downlines of your team members.


REASSIGNMENTS

Helping your team members to build active downlines requires strategic planning which may often require some degree of restructuring through reassignment techniques. This means as you use it to motivate and encourage some, you are equally using it to bring PSAs with similar regional and cultural background together, in order to help solve some common issues regarding their regions, cultures and languages.


DUPLICATION

One of the major ways to help build your team’s downlines is through duplication, which is encouraging and guiding them to do what you do, in building your own team. This means you must lead by example by doing that which is required to build a successful team and which you intend to teach your downline or intend for your downline to duplicate. You therefore need to encourage the team members you have assisted as above; sponsoring, co-opting and reassignments, to do the same for members of their own teams by helping to build their downlines.

These are some of the methods you use to build the downlines of your team, however, it is not just enough to build their downlines, serious efforts need to be deployed to continuously assist, guide, organise and lead them in order to produce a very effective, active and prosperous downline.

Yes it is both ethical and professional to acknowledge this because it conveys a good intent to assist and welcome the affiliate back to your team.

What you should say actually depends on the circumstances resulting to inactivity and your perception of the affiliate where possible, but generally you may include the following in what you say:

1. Let him know that irrespective of what kept him away for such a time, you are very pleased to see him back and that more importantly, it is better late than never.

2. Tell him what he missed the time he was absent will not be a barrier to his future success here, that all what he needs to succeed are still intact and that you are here to assist and guide him, because you only succeed when he succeeds.

3. Also say to him that it is extremely important to let out his mind when in any difficulty moving forward and include your Leadership Page link and email address for contacting you.

4. Finally, say to him that the action he took to start work with SFI today is a milestone because "The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action."
