“Focusing on the positive”.

"It seems that every six months more or less the question is posed in the forum regarding our teams. The question stems around the inactivity of their team. “Why” won’t they do more? Etc, etc…. or how can I encourage them? What rewards can I offer?

Well the responses run from, giving gift certificates, t-credits, etc. etc…….

As a team leader I convey to my downline that SFI is a lifestyle change and this is......

WHY?

SFI’s business model rewards ALL affiliates for taking daily actions. What has always amazed me about, “Human Nature” is that we expect something for nothing. Which goes to an Economics 101 saying, “TANSTAAFL”, There Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch”.

The bigger question is, “What are you doing to be successful in YOUR SFI business?” As a team

You need at the very minimum 10 minutes to complete your red tabs! Many of us have limited time in our daily lives, however, when you log in and complete your daily, weekly and monthly red tabs you will have accomplished this task at the very minimum! It also shows your upline that you are a mover and motivated! Your benefit is that you will stay in your upline's mover tab and he/she will be more willing to provide his/her time to support you. So many affiliates don't even attempt to complete

Personally I like to reassign affiliates to an affiliate in the same country. Especially if the affiliate is not yet an EA2 and is performing well. Logging in daily, completing their daily,weekly and monthly actions. This not only gives them a chance to earn an extra 120
VP for the month for sending out a weekly newsletter, it also teaches them how to start communicating with their downline in their native tongue without worrying about miscommunication due to any language differences and confusion

I have experience with in-person presentations, direct mail, trade shows, handing out biz cards, network at events, etc. Can offline marketing be as effective for my SFI business as online marketing?

I think if you have as much experience as you say you do that until you get your feet wet learning how to advertise online that your personal experience will serve you better and that your offline methods will be very successful for you.


I believe you should do what you do best for getting new affiliates. What will really be helpful is when you find an affiliate who has the experience with online marketing so you can share knowledge, information and online advertising techniques.

1. Co-op manager. A great place to start awarding your downline for completing daily actions. Let your downline know that when they consistently log in daily for ten days or more that you will add them to your advertising co-op. of course ten days is only an example. Ehats important is motivating your downline to log in daily!

2. S-builder is another great tool for youse and any of your downline members. As team leader you can use the co-op builder for motivating downline to

First, you save on shipping costs.
Second, you don't have to peel the stickers off and transfer them onto
Your plastic cards.
Three it's very easy to cut and paste the redemption code and send it off

Marketing methods are essential the same as promoting your gateway
