One of the great marketing tools that have been made available to all SFI affiliates is the TripleClicks gift cards. These cards have a $12 value (6 TCredits and 100 MRP [Member Reward Points]).
By giving out the TripleClicks gift cards properly you can gain new PRMs (Personally Referred Members) that you will draw commissions on their purchases for long as you remain a member of SFI and of course as long as your referral continues to purchase.
When your cards are accepted – as you give them to your referral, collect their contact information before leaving them. The reason for this is once they become a member of TripleClicks (which must be done to redeem the Gift Card) you will not have access to your referrals email address or any other information.
If you are giving the TripleClicks Gift Card on-line then have them fill out a form with their name and email address before issuing them the redeem code that comes with the electronic cards. Again this is done because once they log in as a PRM with TripleClicks you will not have access to their contact information.
Now as far as getting your PRM excited over SFI at the same time you are giving them a gift card is not a very good idea. This is why –
I did just that for a person I met in a store, by the time that person got home he decided to go on line and visit the URL I gave him on my SFI business card. He signed up as an affiliate.
Later that same day he tried to use his TripleClicks Gift Card and it was denied because he was an affiliate in SFI and affiliates cannot use the cards. At that time the person decided to opt-out – the reason he gave was that this was a scam. This was two years ago and I have never seen that person again nor was I collecting their contact information at that time – I learned the hard way. Now you don’t have to go through the same thing.
Give your new PRMs some slack time before contacting them about SFI – That is if you have their permission to contact them. Ask them what they redeemed their card on, if they haven’t redeemed it yet make some game suggestions or tell them other ways to use the TCredits. Follow up a few days later.
After your first follow up at that time it would be OK to share a little about SFI and being an affiliate in your team – But in reality I must say this:
When prospecting with TripleClicks Gift Cards you are trying to build your group of purchasing members as they purchase you gain their VP and the commissions. The same as though they were your down-line affiliates. A strong group of customers purchasing product or playing games and attending the auctions can be very profitable and you don’t have to train them or babysit them as they continue to be involved – What can be better?!
