How do you deal with PSAs who you offer unconditional support but still rate you poorly?

My first response is to contact the Affiliate and ask for clarification of their concerns and/or questions. I then address those concerns and/or questions to the best of my ability. If the Affiliate continues to rate me poorly I'll be honest in that I no longer pay attention to their ratings. If we, as Affiliates, want to be successful we must stay focused on producing results. I hate to say it, but I move on! I've learned the hard way, over decades of experience, that if you don't move on you "will" go backwards. The challenge is that you can't be everything to everyone as there's not enough hours in the day. Do the best you can and always do what's right, but keep moving forward. Hint: Develop your own lead system to keep new Affiliates coming into your group.

Which is best, free or paid advertising?

I must strongly recommend "paid advertising" as this is an either or question. Paid advertising allows you to expand (scale up) your efforts when your testing shows that your campaign(s) (lead system) are successful. If you have a successful campaign (lead system) you can then co-op with those you bring into SFI and create the ultimate leverage. If you want to grow a large business then start with the end in mind and learn how to leverage your time and money (working capital) as soon as possible.

What is the most valuable thing you learned in your first year in SFI?

The most valuable thing I learned in my first year with SFI was that being persistent and consistent would be necessary for success. I came into SFI knowing that "lead systems" would be the key to building a team, but being persistent and consistent is what got the results I wanted from this business. SFI can change your life IF you are persistent, consistent and you focus on generating and then converting leads to Affiliates. The skills you learn from being persistent and consistent in building your SFI business will open up a whole new world of opportunity into your life.

How can we get across to our affiliates that investing minor (at least) amounts of money into SFI is smart?

Create results and then pass on those results to your group! The more exposure your Affiliates have to success the more open they'll be to following your lead. Create your own lead system, convert those leads to Affiliates, have contests to give away leads and then pass on the results. Given enough time your "active" Affiliates will pursue every contest you create!
Recruiting PSAs or ECAs--which will generate the quickest income?

If you have a productive lead system in place then PSA's will bring in the quickest income. However, if you're new to marketing then bringing in local ECA's will produce the quickest income. I realize this is an either or answer, but based on my experience I do not believe it's possible to say one or the other is the quickest. For example if you signed 10 local ECAs in one month you'll earn considerable more sponsoring 10 Affiliates in that same time. However, if you have an advanced lead system in place and you bring in 500 Affiliates in one month your income will gain incredible momentum!

Communicate with your group on a weekly basis. Pass on successful results. Show your Affiliates success with your Team Leaders as examples. My experience is that when you do this those Affiliates that want the benefits of a business like SFI will follow your lead. The bottom-line is that to succeed in SFI you must be active with TripleClicks. Lead your Affiliates toward success and they WILL become active with TripleClicks.
