Hello Emelinda,
A great idea so why not create a 'Gift Package' for them. All you need is a folded piece of coloured card and attach a Gift Card and one of your SFI cards on the inside.

You could decorate the outside if you are artistic. If it is within your budget you might even have some professionally printed with your photo and a friendly message.

Include your name and contact details so they can ask any questions they may have.

You should also get their

Hi Roberto
It would depend how prepared the person is that you are talking to. Riding in an elevator is not a very long time to get to know a person's motivation or their preparedness to join SFI and be active. It may be better to have a chat with them and find out a a bit about them and then arrange to meet them at a later time to explain the business.

There are some questions you could ask them and they are usually in the following F.O.R.M.

F.amily
O.ccupation

If you were to start over with SFI, what would you do differently, knowing what you do now about this business?

Ritu,
When I first joined the SFI business many years ago it was much different and had less ways to earn income. For this reason I an going to make my answer count AFTER the inception of Tripleclicks which is when I believe SFI changed for the better.

I made the mistake of concentrating on Versapoints rather than on promoting Tripleclicks and sponsoring team members.

If I could start over I would have promoted Tripleclicks and would have been sponsoring more people into

SFI is the best place to start out with an online business Kolawole. All of the support, training and the tools are provided for any member at no charge. This should be used as a SELLING POINT to anyone who has no experience but is interested in starting out with online business.

You could complete many paid educational courses about online business (I paid over $5000 for one course) but you would not get the insight that you get here at SFI.

There are many actions in SFI for which you can earn VersaPoints. Which is the action you should recommend to your downline to focus on and why?

My recommendation is NOT to concentrate on Versapoints Rosafilipina and all of my fellow SFI affiliates.

The focus should be on promoting SFI and Tripleclicks. If you are actively promoting both of these the Versapoints will come.

I made the mistake of concentrating on the VP at the beginning and it really got me nowhere. When I understood not to concentrate on them and started sponsoring affiliates, supporting my team and promoting Tripleclicks my SFI business became profitable

Hello Dzul and all other SFI Affiliates
I am not sure if you are referring to HOW to communicate or WHAT TO USE to communicate?

If you are referring to HOW you should be communicating I highly recommend being honest, friendly and always helpful when you are communicating. Also, don't wait for your team members or other downline members to contact you. Reach out and introduce yourself from the beginning. Let them know you are there to help and always give them recognition when they

Using the internal Keycode system provided by SFI is the best way.

You can see more information about the Keycode system at https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/KeyCodeTracking

Be sure to use a Keycode which is not being used by other parts of SFI. You will also see these listed at the above link.

It is also a good idea to keep a record of the Keycodes you are using and where you are using them. You could use a spreadsheet for this purpose or perhaps just a notebook.

Hi Don and all SFI affiliates.

My recommendation is to concentrate on sponsoring new affiliates consistently and helping them to understand and become active with SFI.

You cannot sponsor PSAs and then stop sponsoring. Some are going to leave and some are going to stay. Keeping the number of active PSAs up is very important to building your residual income. If you stop building your team you will not realise the true potential of SFI.

When you find you have a strong

Hello Abdul and all SFI Affiliates
To gain the full support of your up line you need to C.H.A.T.

C.ommunicate with your upline. Answer their emails and thank them for their help. Show you are committed to your SFI business by taking the necessary actions to be successful.

H.elp your your own downline and put yourself forward as a leader. Your upline will notice your efforts because you will be seen as one of their movers.

A.ct like a leader and never be negative

Hello Nsima
It would depend on how long the affiliate had been involved with SFI.

+ If they were here for a long time and achieving Executive Affiliate and then quit, you would ask them why and try to address the problem. There will be problems that you cannot resolve for the affiliate and that's OK. You can still keep moving on and sponsor some more movers to keep your business profitable.

+ If the affiliate is new and hardly takes any action or none at all, keep in contact
