What is the best way to motivate my affiliates to become buyers at TripleClicks?
This is what I do: -
1. I continuously put TripleClicks (TC) before my team.
2. My welcome letters include a statement about how central our TC is to the success of SFI – that ALL commissions are derived from TC and that we need to support it.
3. I have a TC section in each of my TeamMails in which I encourage my team to explore TC and to learn something about its products each day.
4. I explain the benefits of “transfer buying” and give examples of what I do, which is as much as I can (but I am limited by a very restrictive budget).
5. During the 2015 Christmas season I devoted my December Stream posts (some 12 posts) to highlighting selected items from TC and some of the 118 ECAs that I am connected with. I chose low cost items with free shipping and gave the product URLs as well as the ECAs URLs and the product category URLs – each URL included my SFI ID# so that they could see what their URL would look like when they used it to marketing purposes.
6. In my TeamMails I also give them advice on how to rethink their day to day spending so that they can change what they buy and make savings so that they can spend those savings on buying something from TC. And I give specific examples of what I do to save money that I can then invest in my TC. Such things as walking rather than catching the bus. Eat at home rather than buying “takeaways”. Exercise at the beach which is free rather pay to go to a gym. (Etc, etc).
7. I extoll the virtues of using MRP to pay for TC purchases and show them how I have done this myself.
8. I highlight any “3 for 2” deals or specials being offered by an ECA so that they can buy as cheaply as possible.
9. I advise my movers on the cheapest way to buy a product at TC – for instance TCredits. The cheapest in price and those that also give the most VP.
10. I check their profiles and any who say they do have a budget to invest in SFI I encourage them to do so.
11. And for those who have no personal funds to invest I encourage them to sell TC products.
12. Finally I ask my team what problems they are having. Most don’t reply but for those that do I try and help them address their specific issues and encourage them to overcome them. I use what I do as an example. Hopefully by showing them how hard I have to work to overcome my own problems in doing my SFI business they will also find a way themselves. At least them know I understand their situation.
13. And I try and encourage them to take the “long view”. SFT is worth doing. If you can’t start now, plan for the future. SFI will still be there for you then. (Like the purchase of any large item or the cost and time it takes to get an education.)
14. I don’t give rewards, although I was in the (now suspended) CW and TW programs, unless I see some REAL effort. SFI gives rewards enough when we work – and I am always telling my team about the rewards and “freebies” that I receive from SFI, telling them that these are also available to them too, if they work.
What else can I do? And I will be really interested in how other affiliates answer this question.
Am I successful in any of this? Yes and No.
Yes, with my movers. I give them very specific advice and help. And point out ways they can maximize their TC budget. And this is aligned with helping them achieve their monthly goals too. The movers seem to appreciate this.
No, with all the rest. You can’t motivate someone who doesn’t want to do something. You can only help someone when they are prepared to do something. But I keep trying. Hopefully one day the light will go on and I will have another active affiliate.
