Hello, Pamela:

Here is my answer to your question about how to provide the best and correct answer to questions from your team members.

First, as a Team Leader, I consider it very important to focus on providing correct information. When I answer questions from team members, even if I "think" I know the right answer, I always do some research in the SFI Affiliate Center to confirm that the answer is accurate and correct. This is very important.

Hi, Gary:

You have asked what is the best way to become a Team Leader. This answer is probably not exactly what you were expecting, but here goes!

The best way to become a Team Leader is:

1. Lead by example: Set up Standing Orders so you automatically become an EA each month; visit the Affiliate Center DAILY and do every task possible to earn VersaPoints (VP); market SFI and TripleClicks aggressively; communicate with your team members regularly.

2. Recruit

Hello, Enn:

I tried hard to win the E365 Championship in my class, but I did not succeed. I was doing well until towards the final few months, and then another competitor came out of nowhere and blew me out of the water! LOL (I congratulate that person for their achievement: they deserve the title.)

Here is my recommendation to you and to any affiliates making their run for the E365 championship:

1. Set up at least one monthly Standing Order for at least 1,500 VersaPoints

Hello, Marjorie:

If you are going to reassign a PSA, then I think it is a great idea to reassign them to someone in their own country!

If you do that, it reduces the risk of communication issues and gives them a greater sense of the SFI opportunity being "real". It shows them that they are not alone in their country and not alone in the SFI business.

If it is someone in their own community, or within visiting distance, all the better! There can be great

Hello, Abraham:

As long as they are responsive to your messages, you should stay in regular contact with your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor. This will let them know that you are serious about becoming successful with SFI.

I recommend either sending them a weekly message with updates on what you are doing, or, if they send you regular team messages, be sure to respond and acknowledge those messages with appreciation.

It is good to contact your Sponsor or Co-Sponsor with

Hi, Ken:

I tell them that TripleClicks.com is an online e-commerce shopping site featuring products and services for sale in close to 30 categories - virtually something for everybody!

I tell them that TripleClicks is a secure site, meaning the company monitors all activity on the site and provides checkout services that assure secure order processing and secure payment options.

I point out that TripleClicks is gaining in popularity and that anybody can list things

Hello, Estrado:

Tell them that you are self-employed as an affiliate marketer with the SFI Marketing Group, a leading affiliate marketing company.

Tell them that as an affiliate, you earn sales commissions when customers you refer to our online store, called TripleClicks.com, buy things.

Tell them that as an affiliate, you can also refer other potential affiliates to this business. When they join as your referral, and when they make personal purchases, you earn sales

Hello, Fernando:

My first response is that there is no preferred age category for SFI. It is a great income opportunity for people of all ages and for a person who has not yet started to build a second income, the best time to start is right now.

However, your question is focused on people 50 and upwards, so here is a short answer to a very good question:

First of all, it must be pointed out to them that their retirement years are approaching and it is best not to

Hello, Manju:

I see two primary reasons why you need to make yourself the best SFI affiliate possible.

First, for your own benefit:

If you start off from the beginning with your goal being to become the absolute best you can be, then that commitment will serve to guide you towards excellence every step of the way.

Second, for the benefit of your SFI team members (PSAs and CSAs):

This business is all about duplication. You must learn the steps

Should I advise new PSAs to slow down and not qualify as Team Leaders so quickly?

That's a tough question, Sandra, because every new affiliate is different, with different skills, different goals and different insight and understanding of the purpose and benefit of the SFI ranking system.

I wouldn't discourage a new PSA from charging full speed ahead, but I would definitely encourage them to FIRST get a full understanding of the SFI compensation plan and ranking system.
