To ensure your SFI business is thriving well into the future, you need to start planning now. You must come up with your best plan to develop the best habits of continually growing your SFI business.
The best habits are steps that you should be doing consistently to ensure that your SFI business continually grows. Here they are:
- Logging in everyday to your SFI homepage performing your daily, weekly and monthly To-Do-List.
This step may seem trivial but this is where the formation of habit starts for growing your SFI business. For new affiliates this is the best place to start. By starting on the simple tasks, you work your way up to the next level of activities that requires more attention in growing your SFI business. You stay active when you don’t miss a single day doing something to keep your SFI business moving forward.
- Maintaining your EA2 status.
Your SFI business won’t grow without keeping your EA2 status. As long as you need to expand your network, maintaining your EA2 status is a vital step to ensure your SFI business is moving forward towards your long term goal. This is the pre-requisite of moving up to the TL rank, which means more benefit for you and by doing this you’re developing a habit towards the development and growth of your SFI business.
- Investing in yourself.
Plan time to read and make it a habit to learn and how to use SFI tools and resources extensively. Expand your knowledge base by learning one topic at a time. This is one of the most valuable assets in growing your SFI business. As you move up to TL rank, you’re going to make use of your SFI knowledge to train and support your downline. Participate in SFI Forum, reading valuable tips from people who have proven track of success. Make a regular visit providing solutions to other affiliates, who need help. This is one way of branding yourself to grow your popularity making you trustable to your downline. You can also make a regular contribution to Ask Sc, learning and applying the vast amounts of knowledge to grow your SFI business.
In general, you must make your education a priority and schedule significant amounts of time for it. While some of this can be squeezed into your day (such as reading while waiting in line), much of it will require you to give up something else that probably isn't as important (such as watching television).
- Read SFI news.
As a business professional, you need a constant supply of information to achieve success. You must stay aware of trends and issues and keep up with rapid economic and technological changes to become and stay competitive. Reading the SFI news everyday keeps you up-to-date with the latest innovations in marketing your SFI business.
- Furthermore the following list of activities should be included when developing the best habits to ensure continued growth in your SFI business:
1. Stay connected with your downline by sending them your weekly tips and encouragement.
2. Use Stream Posts/E-Cards to congratulate your downline in their rank advancement/Daily Grand winnings; recognize their achievements by offering rewards/incentives through your Leadership page. This will send them strong message that you’re interested in their development and growth.
3. Always keep your Leadership page up-to-date. SFI sends reminder twice every month about the Leadership page maintenance. This is an important tool in communicating your tips, ideas and strategies to your downline.
4. Offer one-on-one support to your downline. This could be the most effective way of customizing your involvement in helping them to advance in their journey with SFI.
- Keep sponsoring
Develop a marketing strategy that brings results. One-time or sporadic tactics are ineffective in increasing awareness, acceptance, preference and demand when offering SFI opportunity. You can create more marketing momentum with your daily action.
I. Allocate time using various marketing channels to effectively communicate your message to your prospects:
Blog/website - Often, it’s the first point of contact for prospects, so it must be effective. Your site should be:
1. Fast loading – It should load in less than 5 seconds.
2. Visually appealing – Websites need to be updated every few years to look current.
3. Easy to navigate – Visitors must find what they need quickly or they’ll leave.
3. SEO optimized – It should be found on page one of Google’s search results for the keywords that prospects will likely use to find you online.
II. Networking – This will take time but the outcome can be strong, valuable relationships. Industry association meetings and entrepreneur networks are great for networking events. Make a habit to attend regularly; people trust those who they get to know.
III. Develop a social media strategy and decide which platforms are right for your market. An effective way of dedicating your time to social media is by leveraging bloggers and other content creators. These individuals have the loyalty and trust of consumers and businesses. Develop relationships with the right online personalities to lend credibility to your SFI business and expand your reach.
Your goal is to create a combination of daily activities that help you communicate with your prospects.
Long-term success of your SFI business relies on continuous personal growth. Achieving that means developing the best habits for continued growth, being better today than you were yesterday, and being better tomorrow than you are today.
