How do I convince people that SFI is a unique and rare opportunity that they shouldn't miss out on?

I believe that if you tell people that SFI has been in business for 17 years and therefore it is built on a solid foundation and has great leadership, they will pay attention. If you read the statistics on the failure rate of new businesses, the fact that SFI has continued for 17 years and has grown and improved each year shows that it is not a fly-by-night company and it is not a pyramid scheme.
One of the best reasons to choose SFI is the fact that you can join for free and you will receive valuable training at no cost to you! Even if you have no marketing experience, you will be able to learn everything you need to know to become successful. SFI provides the tools you need and they are working continuously to improve SFI and Tripleclicks. The only limitations on the success that you can achieve are the limitations that you set for yourself!
When you become an affiliate of SFI, you have a sponsor and co-sponsor to provide help, encouragement, and support. You are able to go to the forum where experienced affiliates will answer questions and provide information that will make it easier to achieve your dreams of a successful business.
Tell prospects why you choose SFI and about your experiences since you became an affiliate.
You can show them your badges and your leadership page to prove that you have confidence SFI and that you are achieving your goals. I remember an advertising phrase that I heard years ago, "Try it. You'll like it!" To me that sums up my experience as an affiliate of SFI. I tried it and I loved it!

How do I encourage an affiliate to remain active when they feel they've been demoted?

This is a very timely question. When the changes were announced last month, I was one of the people who were upset because I will lose my ranking of BTL when the changes take place. I have gotten many PSA'S from S-Builder, Bid and Build, etc. but none have lasted longer than a month.
I wondered if it would be better to quit but then I sat down and started to think about the reasons that I joined SFI in the first place. I wanted to find a way to supplement our income. That need hasn't changed. SFI offered the best opportunity to achieve that dream and that hasn't changed either. What needed to change was my attitude. I am willing to work harder to achieve the goals that I have set for myself and my business.
While I was upset about the changes at first, I realized that these changes will actually help me.
With the new Signing Bonus, people have a great incentive to stay with SFI and to start working. Because if this new program works and the new affiliates stay and become successful, that benefits us all. With my attitude change, I am looking forward to a long and successful career. After all we have to aim high and dream big.

How important is it that your family embrace your SFI business...and what if they don't?

I think that it is very important that your family embraces your SFI business. My father is my sponsor so help is always available but I think one of the best aspects of having a family member involved is that we are able to exchange ideas and to encourage one another. It also helps that we have someone who understands what you are doing and why you are doing it. Other family members eyes tend to glaze over when we start talking about SFI but maybe they will hear something that will create an interest in SFI and they will join us!

I am blessed with an awesome sponser who has been there for me from day one! He gives advice, support, and is available when needed! He has been patient and kind and has taught me to follow in his footsteps. However, none of his advice would have been worth anything if I was not willing to learn and to put that advice into practice. Even with a great sponsor and all of the tools provided by SFI, each individual must be willing to put their time, money, and hard work into their business or they will never succeed.

How do you get people involved and active when they live in countries where most are not yet comfortable with online purchases and payments?

There are people in every country who are not comfortable with online purchases and payments. I know because up until I joined SFI, I was one! I live in the United States and I am 59 but I am not sure age was a factor because both my parents were internet experts.
I think one of the big issues is trust and SFI has a record of 17 years in business and a great record of customer service. That was an important factor to me and that solid foundation means that you can tell friends, family, and prospects about SFI and Tripleclicks with confidence!

SFI has already helped me conquer my personal limitations and roadblocks. I am a person who does NOT like change and I am usually found holding on tight to the things that keep me in my comfort zone. However, if I am going to be successful in SFI, I must be ready for change because
SFI is constantly working to improve everything. Some changes are large but even the smallest changes require me to leave my comfort zone and embrace new ways to do things.
I have learned a lot about SFI and about myself since I joined three years ago. I have gained confidence in myself and in my decisions. I have learned how to be a team leader from my sponsor. I have learned from making mistakes because the only way to never make a mistake is to never do anything. I have learned about internet marketing and what it takes to be successful. I have even learned new ways to use my computer and thanks to SFI, I have even learned to have fun with the games and auctions!
I start and end my day by logging in to SFI. I never thought that SFI would make such a difference in my life. I would like to say thank you to everyone who works to make SFI such a great company and I am proud to be an affiliate. I would also like to thank my sponsor for introducing me to SFI!

Should I promote the sale of TripleClicks products to my team? If so, how?

I think the best answer to the question "Should I promote Tripleclicks products to my team? If so, how?" is still, "Tripleclicks is our store!" Purchase the products that you would normally buy from Tripleclicks. If you find a great product at a good price, tell your team. Before I ordered Advanced Liquid Nutrition the first time, I asked my sponsor if he had tried it, and he gave it 5 stars. I tried it and it really helped me.
Never make your team feel pressured to purchase anything from Tripleclicks but instead, let them know about your purchases. Lead by example.

How do you get affiliates to understand that SFI is a serious business with serious earnings potential...and not just a hobby?

Affiliate since: 03/17/2012, Power Rank: 99999999
Thank you for this question because it is one that I have been pondering and for me the answer to the question, "How do you get affiliates to understand that SFI is a serious business with serious earnings potential ... and not just a hobby?" is that as a team leader, I must step up to the plate and set the example. If I am not taking my role as an affiliate and business owner seriously, how can I expect my team to take it seriously?
One way that the team can see how serious I actually take my business is to check my badges. They are proof that I am consistently working to achieve my goals. I am very proud of each one because I earned each one!
Another way that I am setting an example is by using the team mail and the stream posts to keep in touch and to keep them up to date on what is happening in SFI and to encourage them to reach their goals.
I also encourage them to have fun by playing the games and the auctions because even though though they are fun, they are also a serious way to build their business. I have won T-Credits, VP, MRP, PSAS, CSAS, etc. by playing the games and the actions.
I also advise them to read and to learn. I honestly think that the more you read, the more you gain knowledge, and the more knowledge you have, the more equipped you will be to able to reach your goals. I also encourage my team not let fear of making mistakes hold them back because they WILL make mistakes. No one makes the right choice all of the time. The best thing to do when you realize that you have made a mistake is to learn from it so that you won't repeat it.
As my team's leader, I realize that my attitude toward SFI and my business sets the standard for our team so I must make sure that I am focused on making sure that I provide the example that I want my team to follow!

There are many selling points of SFI. It depends on the prospect which ones will work for him or her. I have found that some people automatically think SFI is a scam or a pyramid scheme when I mention what a great opportunity SFI is for a person needing additional income. The fact that SFI has been in business for 17 years and it is built on a solid foundation is a major selling point. It has prospered when a lot of businesses have closed.
SFI teaches you all you need to know and even supplies the tools you need to start your business free of charge. All that you have to do is to be willing to learn and to put those tools to work for your business. There is no catch or hidden fees.
You are your own boss. You make the decisions. You set your own goals and work the schedule that suits you. You choose the amount of income that you make by the amount of time,effort, and money that you are willing to invest in your business.
SFI is global. This means that you will have world wide base for your business. This increases your chance of success. You can recommend with confidence the ECA'S and their products because SFI has strict policies that must be met before they can become anECA.
One of the best things about SFI is that you can find help 24/7. If you need a question answered, go can go to the forum and get help from experienced affiliates. You have a sponsor and a co-sponsor to offer encouragement,support and help.
These are just a few of the selling points of SFI that sold me on SFI!

I love almost everything about SFI. It has a solid foundation because
it is based on 17 years of experience. You can be confident that SFI will
stand behind their word because of that record.
They provide the training that you need for free and it is a valuable tool
in starting your own business. They have amazing support and are always
willing to help. They also provide us with two invaluable tools - the forum and
ASKSC. Any questions will be answered by experienced affiliates. If you aren't
lucky enough to have a good sponsor, these become even more valuable.
Tripleclicks is a great place to buy or sell. Not to mention the games and
Pricebender's auctions. I could easily become addicted to them!
One of things that I love most is that SFI is always working to improve and
make changes that help their affiliates but they are always willing to listen to us
if we don't like the change.
These are just a few of the reasons that I love SFI and am proud to be an
affiliate.
