I have been with SFI for 2 Years now.

After joining SFI, within few months, I realized that it’s a long term business and I need to have a strong foundation in order to earn a reasonably good income in the future.

Hence, I have been focusing on:

1. Team Building:
2. Creating PRMs;
3. Bringing in ECAs;
4. Promoting other ECA’s products

To build the Team continuously, I have been concentrating on:

a) Word of Mouth; &
b) Free Ads in Web Sites for fresh sign ups

While the former brought in very active PSAs, the latter produced huge numbers but not active Affiliates. Even the active PSAs kept opting out due to their own very personal and genuine reasons. Hence, I have doubled my efforts on this front NOW and I am confident that serious people will join and stay for long time in the future.

To create PRMs, I have been sharing the Friend Challenge Links among My Friends and many of them keep joining as TripleClicks Members now. But, no Sales have happened till now. I have not given up. I am continuing my dialogs with many of them on Transfer Buying and I am pretty confident that it will take some more time before some of them start buying their monthly requirements from TripleClicks Stores.
With regards to creating ECAs, I have chosen some of the leading Traders, Retailers and Individuals who have fast moving products like groceries, apparels, etc. I have been having series of personal discussions with them NOW. Since the discussions involve more of clarifying their doubts on so many aspects of this business nothing has materialized till now.

In fact, one Organization applied for becoming an ECA but withdrew the application within 48 hours. I am yet to get their answer for their action.

Still, I have not given up. I am sure that some of them will eventually become an ECA in the future. Regular follow up with them is required which is what I am doing NOW.

Finally, as for as promoting the products of other ECAs, I am in the process of creating more and more “Collections” (a Tool created by SFI) covering variety of products that can cater to the requirement of:

1. Men
2. Women
3. Children
4. Families

Apart from these, I am focusing on creating “Collections” keeping the seasons ahead. I already started promoting one Collection for Men through Local Ads, Ads in Social Media, Web Pages, etc NOW. I am awaiting the results with lot of interest. Based on the outcome, I will be either following the current strategy of Advertising or will make changes suitably so that the results can be better in future.

This is how I am making all out efforts to create a strong foundation NOW for this business so that all these will matter TOMORROW when I can enjoy the fruits of my hard labor continuously, year after year.

RECRUITING EXPERIENCED MARKETERS

Phone calling experienced marketers, I have been speaking to many very experienced professionals and this is something that seems to crop up regularly in conversation.
99% of the most successful marketers in this industry pick up the phone and encourage other experienced marketers to join their team, that’s one of the main ways they grow an active team of marketers quickly.

Brian Tracy once wrote:
“if you continuously do what successful people do to become a success you too will be a success and if you don’t you won’t. This law is universal it does not favor one man over the other.”

So my objective is to do what has been proven to actually bring results that build success and not what I have guest might work.

A PORTFOLIO OF ACTIVE ECAS

Growing a portfolio or active ECAs with products on demand. For me this is by far the most obvious way to grow great residual income in this business. I am making calls to ECAs I think will fit this criteria on a regular basis via phone prospecting, lead generation systems and social media.

GROWING MY KNOWLEDGE

I spend a minimum of 2 hours reading up on strategies to reach my goals. I also read up on those who have been where I want to be on a daily basis. Also continuously interacting and connecting with marketers who are doing very well in this industry sharing what works well with me while offering any assistance I can.

BUILDING A HIGH RANKING CUSTOMER GATHERING SITE

Right now I am in the process of building a new website that is going to be dedicated to signing up ECAs and bringing them customers. the website will be keyword rich and will ultimately have to generate paying customers for these ECAs in order for the site to work the way I planned. Still early days though.

BUILD BIG SUBSCRIBER LISTS

Getting my social media marketing in order and promoting my websites opt in pages wherever and whenever I can so I can build a list of potential retailers and retail customers (for my ECAs offerings). My objective here is to connect with as many people selling products as humanely possible. Remember that sellers are consumers as well so that doesn’t stop them from buying things from TripleClicks.

BEING PROACTIVE TOWARDS MY SFI BUSINESS EVERY DAY

For me this is no longer an issue but making sure that, the most effective things are being done consistently is where my mind is at right now. I am trying to make sure I am doing what will yield the best results daily. Reviewing my goals and targets and making sure I can say at the end of the day I have done things today that will bring me closer to my ultimate financial goal.

As a business owner and also an investor in our own way, with SFI, we have to learn how to concentrate our efforts in getting people to join us and the understanding that we have to invest in work, time and money now, in order to get a better and larger return in the future. Building our business today and enjoy the leverage income in years to come.

What are the things that I do today, that will greatly contribute to my future income or success and potentially financial freedom?

1) Sponsoring – building a team of active members will ensure you will have a strong team. To achieve this, so many marketing methods could be applied. Internally, S-Builder, PSA-To-Go, Bid & Build are the main few that you can invest on, in order to increase your team of PSAs.

2) Duplication - once sponsoring is in place by way of Standing Order for e.g SBuilder , open widely your line of communication as you need to train, guide and ensure your downlines are following and doing all required actions to be on top of their business. Lead by example is the motto and SFI has provided so many ways to reach out to our team members. Stream, PSA/CSA or Team Mail messages can be used to convey your instruction, assistance or any different kind of support to ensure team members are aware of any new developments within SFI andTripClicks. Personal e-mail for one to one coaching with personal attention.

3) Sales - The big portion of income is here at TripleClicks. Investing your time and money in this area would give you the exposure to the world outside SFI. Marketing and robust advertising in kind of website,blogs, traffic exchange, social media advertisement, on/offline advertisement in kind of flyers etc will ensure traffic to your site. Pay attention to the needs of your customers by segments. Certain group of people will need and look for certain type of suitable products. Targeted and specific advertisement is relevant is this area. The latest TC Product Collections introduced recently, has paved the way for interesting sales & marketing strategy for all affiliates and make it much easier to promote products of our choice. All in one place. But of course, do not ignore the other marketing tools provided by SFI.

4) Marketing – the overall success of your business also depending on how aggressive you are with your marketing. Are you making enough efforts in advertising? Lots and lots of advertising must be accomplished every day. Your website & blogs may not bring you immediate results but it will take sometimes to reach out to your targeted readers. Once your ranking improvised from time to time, you will see the results later. Ensure good contents and apply the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or SEM (Search Engine Marketing) with related keywords for your targeted marketing groups.

You can use tool.seobook.com to learn more or check on your competitors, PPC and other related topics.

Beside websites & blogs, your warm market, other social media or print media advertisements are also viable. Depending so much in your financial capabilities, a lot can be achieved with different kind of marketing methods. All these are for future gains, not immediate although some may give you immediate ROI (return of investment).

5) Back to basics - daily, weekly and monthly actions are the key to maintaining your biz and your team. Combined with all the above, you should be in the position to progress and maximize your income with active members in your team. Be an awesome Sponsors/Co-Sponsors. Show your appreciation to your deserving team members, be it PSAs or CSAs, both are equally important. Reward them when it’s due. Be their friend and do not act selfish and only look for personal gains. SFI is all about team work.

The above will definitely helps you to gain in so many ways. Doing so will ensure you can retire with your leverage income in near future. Accomplishing it now will benefit you tomorrow. Just do it.

Everything one does today will have an effect on one's business at SFI and is therefore of importance for tomorrow.

I'm new to SFI, so my answer is limited by my present limited knowledge of SFI (which is growing in leaps and bounds daily!) - but as a new Affiliate, I believe that I'm planting the seeds of a successful business each day and I understand that the harvest can only be reaped after days and weeks and months of nurturing. But there won't be any harvest if I don't start by planting the seeds of success today.


As a new Affiliate, those daily seeds that need to be planted include:

1. Increasing knowledge by:
* completing the daily To Do list
* systematically going through all the other information on the SFI site (such as Training, Ask SC and the Forums where an abundance of knowledge is shared by others who provide new seeds that one can sow in one's own business)
* leaning more about the tools that are easily and readily available for network marketing on SFI
* speaking to others who are gurus in the business world and especially those who have experience in online marketing

2. Increasing my down-line team:
* using your enthusiasm about the possibilities on SFI when communicating in everyday situations
* speaking to family and friends to get new leads about potential PSAs
* advertising to find more potential PSAs
* investing some finance to increase your list of PSAs and CSAs

3. Expanding the TC list of ECAs:
* making contact with family and friends to find potential new small businesses (easier to approach smaller businesses for a newbie - once one knows more about SFI and TC, then one can more confidently approach bigger businesses)
* phoning businesses with products that one already supports and/or knows something about (again, for a newbie it's easier to begin to make contact with some personal background knowledge about a company's products)
* advertising targeted at small businesses who might be interested in expanding their market

While there are clearly a great deal more things that one should do to expand your business, at first those 3 steps are the ideal seeds to plant in order to begin to nurture the business.

Everything you do today will matter tomorrow. So to give your business the best chance possible to succeed you need to commit to do whatever you can do every day.

Log in and do your daily tasks every day - not only for the badges you earn that way but also for the VP you earn. Every single VP brings you closer to qualify for EA, BTL and all the levels after that.

You might not have time available to do everything every single day - so draw up a work program for yourself so that you can spend quality time on each activity. Get into the routine to work on specific activities on specific days. Routine and repetition is going to make a difference.

Part of your daily routine - every single day, is to change those red tabs to green and absorb information from them - that way you learn a little more every single day.

Another activity you need to do that can not always be a routine is personal support and guidance to your affiliates. Your weekly newsletter to your team would typically be on a Sunday but sending e-cards, answering individual affiliates questions, welcoming new recruits you will do as soon as they come up - acknowledge your affiliates always as soon as possible.

Other activities you need to do:

Advertising to recruit
Advertising to make sales
Read to learn - try to learn something new about the business as often as possible but even one new lesson a week is worth more than ignoring the treasure test of knowledge up for grabs.
Spend extra time at the forum - it is amazing how much you learn just reading some of the posts. You can take part in conversations if you have a contribution to make but if you just read and learn from others it is also ok.

Surf the net - not to find another business, but to find ideas and tips you can use. This can be very helpful especially if you do not have a lot of experience.

When I started 2 years ago I felt like a total idiot. I use to read these terms people use and I had no idea what they are talking about - not only because I lacked experience but also because English is not my first language. SFI was very humbling for me - I thought I was proficient in English and not too bad using a computer - but what I knew was not what I needed to know to build my business. I started googling these terms and made my own dictionary. I also looked up the meaning of English words I did not understand - that activity matters today, don't you think?

Play games - for the VP, the chance to win whatever you can win and simply because it is fun.

What am I doing today (to develop my SFI business) that will matter tomorrow?

Well, the short answer to this question is “EVERYTHING!”

I work the SFI system as SFI has given it to us – as per the “To-DO List”, see: -

https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list

and I have my focus firmly on “The Plan”: - https://www.sfimg.com/the_plan

Yes, I’m heading for Diamond Team Leader. This involves earning VersaPoints (VP) and developing an active team – actually a team of “Team Leaders”.

How am I doing this specifically?

1. I work daily towards maintaining my rank as a Bronze Team Leader (BTL) each month by making sure that I earn the 3,000 VP I need to meet the VP requirements to do this. My eye is on the higher Team Leader ranks. BTL is just the minimum I wish to retain each month. It is my “stepping stone”.

But, if my circumstances were to change dramatically, my base level of monthly rank that I REALLY MUST retain each month is that of Executive Affiliate (EA).

2. I earn the 3,000 VP I need by purchasing one pack of 125 TCredits each month. This fulfills the requirement of DTL for 1,500 personal VP. The rest of the VP I need I obtain through earning ACTION VP and through making purchases to develop my team.

3. But my aim is to as quickly as possible purchase a minimum of two packs of 125 TCredits each month. This will ensure that I meet the 3,000 VP requirement for BTL and this will also give me a great “Launchpad” towards STL and higher TL rank.

4. Then I spend my efforts on growing and developing my team. I am fortunate to have one active EA2 – hence I should be able to make BTL each month.

But I don’t want to be complacent. I wish to develop many more EA2s in my team. That will give me depth and certainty and the opportunity to develop team leaders in my team. So we can all become DTLs.

5. So my major goal is to grow my team.

At the moment I am growing my PSAs by purchasing one unit of S-Builder each month, by gaining “free” PSAs through the Pricebenders (PB) “Spin & Win” program and by purchasing them from a ECA. Here I look for the most cost effective products being offered.

And I am growing my CSAs through the CSA Rewards Program and the Second Home CSA program.

6. Then I work with my PSAs and CSAs as best I can. This really depends on them. I can only help them if they want to work. But I keep trying different ways to encourage and motivate them. Now this includes uploading images in my Stream posts and Leadership Page blogs, which I hope will spur their interest.

7. There are two other areas of SFI that I am currently also working on developing.

One is my own marketing/blog campaigns and filtering the results to my team through my co-op. I am still learning how to do this.

The other is the ECA program.

I have my own ECA that I wish to develop more with quality products.

And I also wish to encourage other local businesses to become ECAs too. I am approaching this one product at a time. And I expect my ECA program to develop faster once I can demonstrate that my own ECA store is working well.

Finally, my whole approach to SFI is LONG-TERM. Each day I am trying to build a platform that will one day reap me HUGE rewards. That is my mindset.
