Because you earn commissions on purchases from within your down line (from both PRMs and PSAs) the best efforts are (in my opinion) to focus on recruiting PSAs first. Those PSAs who do not become active may become PRMs anyway because they are introduced to everything within SFI including TripleClicks.

If they are active, they will be likely to make purchases within SFI and TripleClicks to grow the business (with products like TripleClick X Cards, Gift Cards, Brochures, traffic, standing orders, etc) and you will earn commission on those purchases while helping your PSAs grow their teams (which grows your team). Can you see the pattern here? Duplication.

Your most loyal customer is your active down line team... those who are committed and invest time and money in their business to speed up the process of building a team. Successful PSAs will also duplicate, and you earn commission on that as well.

Long term income is all about duplication!

Generally speaking there are multiple approach to business strategy to get better results. Your option will depend on what your priority and goal in your business looks like. For instance, recruiting PSAs, if well motivated, earns you a team that will give you revenue for a long time, but not immediately. While recruiting PRMs can guarantee immediate revenue as soon as they make purchases and they have to do it monthly to keep earning from them each month.

So, if you are interested in raising your monthly Direct Commission, focus more or recruiting PRMs and hope they make purchases. If you are however focusing large and looking at the long term benefit a solid team can give you, then you have to pay more attention to recruiting PSAs and motivating them well.

My advice is that you focus on both as a business person since you should be concerned about your short term and long term income. Making a choice will not make you a complete business personality in my opinion.

Hope I have helped a little! Good luck to you!

The best thing I like about SFI is that it gives me the freedom to pursue what I enjoy the best and still offer multiple income streams. This flexibility is what makes your online business unique from others you may have come across.

I would not want to give you an answer that would seem rigid for other affiliates reading this. There is no specific rule in any business which guides you into believing that if your area of expertise is recruiting PSAs, you should not concentrate on bringing new PRMs.

"What are you good at?" would probably be a question you should ask first before trying to analyse which recruitment is better or more lucrative. Again, here I would like to share the relationship of this question to the crops a farmer grows. He has crop A and crop B that give him excellent harvest and financial returns but I am sure he has a crop C that is seasonal so he does not rely on it as much as A and B. However in case there is a problem in the harvest of A or B, he has a contingency plan with crop C that he can market and rely on for alternative income.

Similarly recruiting PSAs and PRMs would follow a similar principle. If you can manage doing both, excellent. However, you do understand that the commissions you will earn from PSAs are reliant on how active your PSAs are.

- Do you have a guarantee that 100 PSAs you recruit in one month will all become active immediately they join. If the answer to this is Yes, then focus on recruiting only PSAs. However, if this is a No answer, then you need to rely on your PRMs simultaneously because their sales will impact positively on your income.

- Alternatively the same applies to PRMs, if you recruit 100 in a month, will you receive sales from each of them in one month. This is hardly likely to happen unless you have a period like Christmas and people go crazy shopping!

Try to create a balance and do what you are best at. Develop yourself, experience the ups and downs of a business and understand that you can focus on both types of recruitment provided you are aware that you need to lay a strong foundation for your business and this means long term relationships with both your PSAs as well as your PRMs.

Knowing which is better to do between Personally Referred Members (PRMs) and Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSAs) recruiting is good. But then again, “best” is more than “better”. So I want to stick to the “best” approach: doing both with equal intensity and drive.

Recruiting PRMs provides you with sales from TripleClicks. And you also earn the VersaPoints (VPs) from the orders of PRMs if they are not yet SFI affiliates. So, the 45% Commission Volume as your Direct Commission from your PRMs plus the corresponding VPs from their sales and purchases are awesome boosters to your business!

On the other hand, recruiting PSAs through personal advertising and warm contacts, buying PSAs to go, purchasing monthly S-Builder Coop unit/s and participating in the biddings to acquire 1 PSA per 100 bids from the Bid and Build program, are great components of the “best”. PSAs are open to become Team Leaders who will also duplicate what you do to succeed. Conclusively, they are your men and women who will be there with you in your daily quest for the top rank.

Meanwhile, you have to identify prospects by category if you want to use the “best” approach. This is particularly applicable to prospects whom you have personal contact. You can find out which that person wants: online shopping, playing games? Or networking and leading people to success? If you can do this, you are at an advantage in doing both PRM and PSA recruiting.

Finally, you know what you want in this business- ultimately to be Diamond Team Leader and remain so for life. If that is not your ultimate target, what is the use of knowing which is better (or best)? Anyway, once you reach the higher TL ranks, you will have enough resources to fund your monthly purchases and all.

PSAs build our team up to the level that will give stability and profitability to SFI business.
PRMs are the TC Members and customers who are not builders but will buy products from TripleClicks that provides commissions and royalty for the future.

So better recruit both as they are part and parcel of a successful SFI business opportunity.

Your SFI business will look like a pyramid without customers and sales of TC products.
Recruit PSAs to have a Team of workers and recruit PRMS to have loyal and lifetime customers.

With PSAs purchasing TC products for personal use, earning valuable VPs for rank and building a profitable and strong SFI business, PRMs purchases provide the commission and royalty income for years to come.

Both PSA and PRM can generate income through their sales in the form of direct commission.
However due to their differences in recruitment, they vary in their roles in our SFI business operations. Every sale your PRMs make you will get commission. If they don't make sales, you don't get any commission/income. So it is important that PRMs need to be royal customers of Tripleclicks to make continuous purchases. Only SFI can contact PRMs. So as a sponsor, you have no direct communication with them. They don't need a sponsor. So you have no control over them. PRM can also help to recruit W3 members who will be added under you and will contribute a lots of benefits to you as a new W3 member under your PRM.

Personally Referred Member(PRM) is recruited as Tripleclicks member through Tripleclicks.com. He/She is not your SFI Affiliate, unless he/she wants to be one through https://www.sfimg.com/Convert. With that he/she will be your SFI Affiliate from which you can get more benefits, sales commissions and Matching Points when he/she achieves EA2 status.

Personally Sponsored Affiliates(PSAs), on the other hand, are directly recruited by you, through your SFI gateways. When they register under SFI, you will be their sponsor and you are responsible for providing leadership and support. You need to communicate to them frequently.

Every sales they make, you will earn commissions a,d every VP they earn you will also get matching points and become part of your earning provided they become EA2 or TL

Your PSAs can become team leaders and build up their downline. With 5 active PSAs with active teams, you can build up your downline members up to 12 generations from which you will get massive residual income. Having active PSAs determine your success and your leadership capability. Having quality PSAs are a great asset to your SFI business

Even though getting quality PSAs is almost a dream, but having 5 active, successful ones will certainly bring you to DTL in the long run. Even though the journey is slow to reach the top but it is definitely a great reward. PRMs will give mush benefit when they make sales which are not definite depending on their needs.

Therefore, I prefer to recruit PSAs to get more and lasting benefits in the long term.

There is far less work involved after you have recruited PRMs than recruiting PSAs.

If your PRMs actually like TripleClicks and become involved in all the activities, then you can earn income and Sales VP from their purchases.

Plus, if they play games and happen to win any of them where they receive TCredits, as their 'referrer', you receive some TCredits as well. That used to be with your PSAs, but is now reserved for your PRMs only.

If you can recruit enough PRMs who purchase products, you could then reach EA status in SFI without spending any money in SFI. Obviously you would still need to advertise, but you do have the choice of free or paid.

And just a side note, if you can refer PRMs through the use of your own autoresponder, then you can send them links to all kinds of products, games, music and auctions any time you like. A little bit more work, but not much.

Although I advertise to recruit both, my focus will be on more PRMs. It will boost theTripleClicks Executive Pool, which is great for all SFI affiliates.

Recruit both, but yes – one is better than the other!

When you recruit PSAs, they automatically become TripleClicks members and can access TC and participate in all TC activities just like PRMs.
When you recruit PRMs, they become TripleClicks members only and cannot participate in programmes that PSAs are able to.

The answer to your question therefore depends entirely on your focus and on what you want.

If you want to simply earn as much commission as possible then concentrate on building the numbers of your PRMs. Note, not only will you earn commission but also all the VPs associated with the products they purchase. If they stop buying products, you stop getting commission and sales VPs. On your part you will have to constantly and heavily advertise and promote TC products otherwise your source of income will be none.

If you want to build your team of affiliates, then recruiting PSAs is the way to go. Building your team of affiliates is the recommended way to build a successful SFI business.

Your team of affiliates will hopefully duplicate your activities and recruit both PRMs and PSAs. They are TC members and can therefore earn you commission by their TC activities. They also earn VPs and if qualifying criteria are met you will also earn Matching VPs and receive a much bigger share of the TC Executive Pool. That’s where the money is!

So yes, to answer your question, recruiting PSA is better. When well sponsored, they will bring you much better rewards then recruiting PRMs.

At the beginning of my answer however, I said recruit both. This is because your PRMs can become PSAs. Some of them once exposed to TC will quickly recognise what a great opportunity SFI is and become PSAs. When this happens I strongly recommend that you work with these PSAs as they are obviously already sold on SFI and are familiar with TripleClicks.

Good day Garzorka,

From my own experience, I would recommend you do both. Why? Because both PRMs and PSA contributes immensely to the growth of your business.

For PRMs, you can start earning your income more quickly, than building up your team with PSAs. In this regards, money spent by the PRM buying products on TripleClicks, playing in the auctions, playing the EZgames etc.

Every action that a PRM takes, commissions are earned for you as well as AVP for goods purchased on tripleclicks as the PRM is not an SFI affiliate. The extra AVP as well as MRP (courtesy of the All New Wave3) will assist you build your ranks and SFI business.

In addition, the more sales that are earned from TC Sales, the more CV's will go towards the TC Executive Pool, which also means, more commissions for you, and from your EA2 and your CSAs in your team.

From above, it can be seen as a win win situation with a higher commission as you are not only getting income from your PRM, but also through your PSAs and CSAs.

In regards to PSAs, you are building up a more stable and reliable source of income, by building up a team. You only need to have 5 active affiliates that make EA2 and above get them to gain 5 EA2 and likewise for them to do same ( Duplication). So as to earn matching versa point and a nice steady flow of income for years to come.

In summary, recruiting both, PRMs and PSAs, you would have several different flows of income coming in and building up a very successful business for yourself.

Don't just limit yourself to just one type of recruitment as the advantages are enormous and alot of free learning aids to help grow your business.

Hope I was able to help.

All the best.

Thanks for this question.

This is our business. When we look at it this way, we should leave no stone unturned to grow and succeed here.

SFI keeps providing so much opportunities equally to all of us & the means to use them effectively to ensure every one keeps growing continuously and earn an income.

The SFI Compensation Plan shows the different types of methods by which we can achieve our goals. These include:

A1. PRM (Personally Referred Member) is a person who joined TripleClicks based on your referral. 2. What ever products he purchases, you will earn the commission & the applicable Sales VersaPoints.
3. But the problem here is that all the communication will be taken care by TripleClicks;
4, You will not be able to contact your PRMs, as a matter of TripleClicks Policy.
5. In case your PRMs become an SFI affiliate, any TC Member they referred prior to their becoming an SFI affiliate, they remain your PRMs.
6. You can continue to enjoy these benefits.

B1. PSA (Personally Sponsored Affiliate) is a person who joined SFI based on your reference.
2. You are responsible for providing leadership and support.
3. Your growth depends, to a great extent, on your PSA's growth;
4. You have to remain connected with them & you should be easily accessible.
5. You should motivate them through your performance & achievements;
6. You should inspire them to move on, with regular incentives.
7. You can not give up on any of them even if they remain inactive;
8. Based on your TL status, you stand to earn more & gain more through their growth;
9. When they keep growing month after month by building their own team, you can become the highest ranked leader and naturally the income keeps increasing.

Conclusion:

1. Through PRMs you stand to earn as and when they buy products, in terms of commission, VP,etc.
2. Through PSAs, you stand to earn commission, when they purchase products;
3. When they become EA, etc you will gain suitable VP (as explained by SFI in the To Do List);
4. The higher your rank and the more your PSAs build their team, you stand to earn more and more.
5. Having understood these two clearly, keep introducing PRMs and stay focused on Building your
Team consistently so that sky will be the limit for your growth.
