Hello and thank you for the opportunity to give you the answer to your question from my perspective, as a one year affiliate that continues to love the excitement of SFI, and hopes to relay that excitement to my Team.
12 months ago, I was like most people that join and was totally oblivious to how to earn, and even if I could earn, so I began to study all I could and "within my budget" began to invest in what is necessary to advance. Now this is not my first rodeo, as I am 66 yrs old and have attempted to earn on the internet since it began. Like with DOS 2.0--yuk, yuk and that's right I have been through literally 100's of opportunities that were not. Plain and simple. So when arriving at SFI, I was skeptical to say the least. One of my first reactions was to be upset that SFI was asking me to spend money, when I had just begun to learn the ropes and of course, like so many, I balked.
But out of curiosity, I decided to have a look at the NMP pack at TripleClicks and things immediately began to change in my thinking. I was wow'd that this company would actually reward me instantly for spending $20 to acquire the tools necessary for me to earn VP, and also begin to advance immediately. In all of years of hunting on the internet, I had spent thousands that I did not really have, on "opportunities" that gave nothing in return but a promise, to find out the promise was a lie. This company actually "wanted" me to earn, and was willing to invest in the hope that I would be an asset. Wow!!
So to your question, the first and most important expense with SFI is simply to earn your Gold Fast Track (NMP Pack or through a Fast Track Extension) from your Sponsor, and set your sights on your Class Championship through the E365 competition. Doing this is so important as I learned early through studying, and these two "honors" will stick with you, your entire SFI career! We learn to attend the Forum each day for as much time as possible, so that we stay up with all of the new announcements etc. Each time you post in the Forum, Gold Fast Track and E365 Champion will be under your name! For Life! The very small expense, becomes truly Priceless over time.
To finish, be absolutely sure to set up your 125 TCredits SO, which assures your EA status each and every month on the first of the month (if you set it up accordingly) and this business of building a Team becomes a thrill and a passion. This expense is critical to success in Team Building with SFI. Remember you can sell over 95,000 products and sign up PRM's to make much more than it requires to actually build a Team, for residual earnings that come from their success. Direct Commissions are unlimited. When you "set the example" for what to do, others will believe in you and join you in this amazing quest. Beyond this basic, do what is possible within your budget, to use the amazing "referral finding" products that not only SFI offers, but also many ECA's that also are able to bring in large amounts of referrals (doing all the investment and work) and then sell them to us.
Other than telling your immediate circle of life, it is the "numbers" that you bring on to your Team, that will have a great affect on how fast your Team builds. You purchase an S-Builder Share or even more shares if you can budget it, and referrals to your Team will begin to drip in on a steady basis. From there it is the example you set, that will give them hope when they join.
Summing my answer up would be as so:
1. Set up a Standing Order for 125 TCredits, and then use these TCredits each month wisely to bid, buy and earn PSA's at TripleClicks. Find someone that does this each month in your upline. They will help you, allot correctly.
2. Purchase the "one-time" offer of the New Members Pack and follow the requirements through to Gold Fast Track if you are still within your first "ten days" of sign up. If not ask your Sponsor to arrange a Fast Track extension for you, and you can even then purchase your NMP Pack and start with a gusto! Remember, the tools that are acquired by purchasing an NMP Pack are huge and discounted steeply, to help us get started correctly!
3. Get at least 1 Share of S-Builder each month. Having referral's appear randomly as Team Members of yours, is really exciting and when you are able to receive one that responds to your help, there is no words to describe the happiness and joy that comes. Remember, just 1 EA2 on your Team, qualifies you to be a Bronze Team Leader with the VP requirements met. Anything that is possible during the month, to earn the VP necessary to become a Team Leader of any rank, will prove to be the catalyst that puts you over the top, and allows you to earn more than the budget, that you have dedicated to your Business each month. All purchases to build your Team earn VP, and this makes becoming a Team Leader fairly simple with a steady budget.
Hope this helps you. Don't believe that somehow you will get rich quick. Nobody does that! Make your Goal to "earn" more than you "invest from your budget." Simple as that. Once that happens, I can assure you the true excitement begins!!
