Hi Grace,

Use your new PSA's. How you may ask. Here is a short outline of what I do.

I inform every new PSA, as soon as I get notice of them from SFI, about the New Fast Track challenge. I copy and paste the SFI news letter to them on a email.

The next day I send an email and promote the NMP to them, because New Fast Track and NMP go hand in hand. I explain to them all the features of the NMP and most importantly: I explain what this NMP can do for the in their

I experience that promoting SFI and TripleClicks globally via the internet is better. People rather read for themselves that have to listen to a lecture. This is my more successful method.

But with X-cards and gift cards from TripleClicks I have been fairly successful in my surrounding community. Promoting personally is always more difficult Especially when speaking to friends and family, but they can become your hardest workers in your business. I found that they were very skeptical

This is a very useful question. One each and every Team Leader asks some time or another.

I write them as follows:

1. First I decide on a topic for the week Say for example, Standing Orders. I then go to the Training Center, Forum, ASK SC and so forth and read up on everything said about the topic. I then draft my news letter with all the most important information I found and there goes my weekly letter.

2. Secondly, there are lots of example letters you can use

Dear David,
This is something I have struggled with so much. But through trail and error this is the conclusion I came to:
Team mails to PSA's and CSA's should be 2 different mails because they are 2 different groups within your down line.
E-cards: I found it to be very effective when addressing an individual person. Say some one from your movers tab. Or to some one whom has been inactive for some time.
And always I send congratulation cards to my down line individually to

An affiliate logs in after a long period of inactivity. Should I acknowledge this? And if so, what should I say?

When an Affiliate logs in after a long period of time I always welcome them with an e-card of warm welcome. I stress the fact that I am always available to help him/her with whatever they need to know or unsure about. I follow them up at least 3 time a week to make sure they are working again. I will always stress the fact that I am excited about him/her returning to SFI and the team.

I remind them that this is their business and that they are the only person that can build their own

The logical answer is this: It is your company. You should invest in your company to be able to advertise in the first place.

How are you going to promote TripleClicks as your store if you are not purchasing essentials and gifts from tour own store. You want to earn 45% commissions on sales from TripleClicks, but if you do not buy from them how are you going to convince prospects that they are the store to buy from.

An excellent leader leads by example. Your down line notices

A very good question and one - have been struggling with for some time. But this is the conclusion I came to: not everybody really NEEDS the money from an extra income as much as for instance I do. I really work SfI due to the fact that I am not able to find employment and need to sustain myself.
So: everybody does not work the program simply because some people are looking for "get rich quick schemes". Other are not prepared to put in the effort and time that is requiered to succeed

Your own Co-op is the better way to go according to me. But you have to invest in the co-op. In other words, place ads in news papers and online every week. You need an inflow into the co-op for it to work.

People read blogs and sometimes comment on them. But that is it. A blog is not meant for advertising. it is meant for writing down your thoughts on specific subjects and so forth.

Very good question. This is what I do with the Wave3 X-cards.
I hand them out in the mall.
I post them in peoples post boxes at big blocks of flats.
I always have a lot in my handbag and give them out freely to whom ever I have a conversation with, at church, at the post office, at the school when picking up the kids. People are very interested when it comes to making extra money.
I tell them off this great online store and give them a card to go and check it out.
Hope
