The SFI system is very comprehensive and is more than enough to build a successful SFI business. Every facet in building a successful SFI business is covered in the system. However there are opportunities to fine-tune the system to adapt the business cultures of the respective countries or regions.
The nature of doing business is always evolving. So adding some of your own touches and strategies will come in handy.

What would you consider to be too much and unnecessary communication with your team?

The importance of communication with the team cannot be overemphasized. Communications should be robust and no amount of communication is considered too much or unnecessary. There must be constant communications via the PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, or Genealogy Group Mailer to motivate them, give team members a good start about the SFI business and to clear their doubts. This support through communications should be maintained to make it a cohesive team. To conclude constant communications is the cornerstone towards becoming an awesome sponsor and creating big income duplication.

How is advising my PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country helpful?

Advising your PSAs to buy from ECAs in their country can be helpful in many ways.
One significant advantage is it saves on shipping cost and lead time. The hassle of paying customs duties can also be avoided. The shipping cost alone can be a hefty sum if the ECA is not local.
Buying from local ECAs can foster personal rapport and makes it easier to buy and sell the ECA’s products.
Buying from ECAs in your own country facilitates transfer buying and helps to obtain the VPs necessary to qualify for EA2 and Team Leader.
Shipping problems can be avoided if purchases are made from local ECAs. Deliveries could be made expeditiously with a possibility of self-collection if it is nearby.
Products can suit local conditions and warranty can be easily administered where applicable.

Social media is a great place to obtain leads. However it is not a place to sell. These sites are used to network with people and build relationships. The relationship built can be used to lead your connections to become your affiliates.
Look out for groups belonging to network marketing, home business etc and make friends with the group members. From here you can learn and share your knowledge with these people.
Start your own network marketing group and invite people to join.
Valuable content plays a vital role in building relationships. Your friends and followers will be eager to read your content. If you have some good content pertaining to network marketing, just post it and that builds up your leads for SFI.
Let your friends and followers know how they can connect with you by providing them with your contact number, Skype, email etc.

How can I increase my earnings with SFI?

Focus on the basics and half the battle is won.
1. Become an Executive Affiliate (EA) and remain an EA every month.
2. Recruit 5 affiliates after reading about the marketing methods and marketing aids
3. Teach your 5 affiliates to do these same three steps.
You can estimate your earning potential at SFI by simulating on the earnings calculator.
Visit the Affiliate Centre every day, click on the tabs and note the valuable information which can help you to increase your earnings with SFI. Also accumulate those versa points every day. Collecting versa points can boost your earnings. Your first priority at SFI is to earn as many versapoints as you can each month. The more VP you earn the higher will be your ranks and the more you will earn from the TripleClicks Executive Pool. To earn even more shares of the pool, become a Team Leader and you’ll receive matching VP on all EA2s in your downline up to 12 levels depending on your rank.
The next vital aspect for increasing your earnings is generating sales at SFI’s e-commerce site TripleClicks. You can earn lucrative commissions here from the sales made. Read about the marketing methods and marketing aids which will help you to generate sales. Also read SFI’s Compensation Plan which give details about the direct commissions and co-sponsor commissions. Basically you will earn 45% of the CV each time your PSA or TC member places an order at TripleClicks. You will also earn 15% of the CV from SFI affiliates you co-sponsor when they place an order at TripleClicks.
Sponsoring and duplication is the third important aspect to increase your earnings at SFI. Through sponsoring you build up a team and this has to be relentless. Train your PSAs and teach them how to duplicate. As you build up an active team your direct commissions will grow and central to this growth is the lucrative versapoints matching up to 12 leavels.
Three more additional income streams can help you boost your earnings:
Co-sponsor affiliates to earn 15% commissions and matching VPs.
Refer ECAs and you can earn versapoints and lucrative cash royalties. When the ECA is approved you can earn VP and 10% of the CV on all their sales at TripleClicks. You will also earn 100VPs when your ECA lists their first product.
You can also boost your income by advertising for SFI through the SFIPPA program. You can earn up to $12 per action.
There is therefore multiple streams of income to be earned at SFI.
