If I have an extra $100, how I would spend it to maximize the growth of my SFI business?

After meeting all my necessary obligations to operate my SFI business such as maintaining my TL status, gving incentives/rewards to my movers, meeting monthly expenses in advertising or purchasing affiliates, I will invest the extra $100 effectively in Duplication. Investing in duplication means looking at the factors that contribute to promote the system I've been doing to grow my business.

Specifically, I would allocate the $100 in the following manner:

- Boost the rewards/incentives to sweeten the pot to bring more encouragement to your active affiliates. If you are offering $5 GC, to your EA2s who renew, make it $10, if you are offering $10 to your BTL make it $20 and so on. By doing so, you're encouraging your active affiliates to be more productive and move up to the next level.

- Invest in your advertising or purchase PSAs from high rated ECAs at TripleClicks. Your objective is to find quality affiliates.

If you invest this extra money in helping, encouraging your active PSAs to duplicate you or acquiring new affiliates, you have made use of this extra money effectively.

I've read a few of the answers to this question and I think many authors are short-sighted. The question is asked about spending "extra" money. That means that it does not have to pay for vp. The sales vp is already paid for. He has met his sales quota for the badge he wants to earn. Otherwise it wouldn't be extra, it would be budgeted.

He is interested in maximizing his money, his efforts, and his SFI Business. Paid advertising is one suggestion. Another is hosting an informational meeting. If he prefers to not have a group of people in his home, then he can rent a room from some business or meet at a restaurant where he would pay for drinks and maybe a tray of finger food or cookies. He would also want to have some marketing aids with him to pass out to the attendees.

Another idea is to buy several of the marketing aids such as brochures, post cards, business cards and mail them to those PSAs who will give him their mailing addresses. You can see what each PSA buys from TC and it does not often include these marketing aids.

A couple or so of each in a business sized envelope would not cost that much. Write them by email when you send it so you are not paying postage for what can be done for free. Tell them that they should use them to illustrate what they are talking about. Tell them to be really sure about who to give them out to because once they are given out, the PSA won't have any more to pass out.

If there is extra money the next month, perhaps a contest could be set up where a whole pack of marketing aids could be won.

Need a little clarification here. Do you mean extra $100 just this one time or every month? How you spend to maximize and grow your SFI business depends on whether this amount is available each month. If this is a one-time extra money then I suggest that you utilize it this way:

- Purchase TCredits to any value (you cannot place a SO because you won’t have this amount to purchase TCredits for the following month) and use it to bid on DP auctions (double MRPs). With DP auctions you earn 10 MRP instead of the usual 5 MRP for every bid. This way you accumulate your MRP and then when your TCredits run low purchase these by paying through MRP. You also earn action VP. So double whammer!It could be a triple whammer if you win the auction.

- Yes, you could also purchase S-Builder Co-op units to grow your downline team. If you are a newbie I would not recommend the S-Builder because you are still learning the ropes and not in a position to lead your downline team. If you are an AE, AE2 or BTL then yes, go for it. By motivating your downline team through contest you create duplication and that is the key to success in SFI.

- Unless you are prepared to devote enough time to reading, my advice is to skip the IAHBE for simple reason that you will receive immeasurable amount of information and you will not be able to cope with your SFI business and work with your downline affiliates at the same time. IAHBE is excellent for intermediates and seniors (Team Leaders) unless of course you are like me an avid reader and spend time till late night reading as much as you could. BTW I still have not even started reading some of the material received last month, with my 1st issue of IAHBE!

- You could also pay the S&H cost of the W3 Starter Kit. Another excellent medium to promote/enrol ECAs and PRMs to TripleClicks.

- Another item you could spend on is the TripleClicks Letterheads and envelopes. You could use these to officially contact prospective ECAs, introducing TripleClicks to them, showing salient features and requesting an appointment to discuss in detail the advantages of selling at TripleClicks.

- To motivate your downline affiliates (if you are an EA) you could set up a contest and offer either gift certificates, TCredits, Cash or S-builder units as prizes. By motivating them to achieve more you earn more by way of commission.

- You could also reward your downline movers on their accomplishments thus motivating them to move full steam ahead.

- If you use your imagination I am sure there are many more ways you could use this one-time $100 to maximize and help grow your SFI business.

If this extra $100 is available every month, good for you. You can have your SO.

- I would recommend TCredits if you are a beginner.

- After learning and acquainting yourself with the workings of SFI you could go for the S-Builder.

- Consider IAHBE if, as I said, you are an avid reader and quick learner. Mind you, IAHBE is excellent with a plethora of information that it could overwhelm you. A lot free stuff too – reading material & videos. Whether one would have the time to read all of the material is another matter.

- Setup a marketing campaign. In fact, the question of how to organize a successful marketing campaign has been raised at ASK SC right now.There are some very useful answers and suggestions. Just click ASK SC tab on your homepage to read the numerous answers.

I hope you would use the extra $100 wisely and see you at the top rung of the ladder of success!

With an extra $100 I would definetly go for the S-Builder Standing order ($22) as this will build your team and give you EA status without worry.

Then I would get a standing order for 125 T-Credit pack($36.25).These can be used for many things.Give aways to your PSA's as rewards,purchases on TC,bidding on Price benders.

This leaves you about $40 which you could purchase so PSA's from an ECA on triple clicks and you should still have a few left over which I would put into a Gift Certificate account and use this also as rewards to your PSA's for reaching certain goals.

If you ask me, $100 is a much bigger amount for me and I always think of developing my SFI Business with the bare minimum amount.

However, with $100, I will try to buy Gift Certificate and will distribute the same among the needy and actual workers in my team for them to grow in the system. If they can grow with even a small amount, then ultimately it is my success and together we make our beloved system, SFI , the most successful.

Even with a part of that kind of money, I am sure, many of my workers can improve their status in SFI and become successful. Hence, my paramount duty is to make my affiliates successful and with their success, I can be the most successful sponsor too.

The bottom line is that I have my own definition of minimalism, that is, the one which is created with a minimum of means.

Wish you good luck.

After maintaining my EA status and re-qualifying for the rank, if I am left with an extra $100, I will really use it to maximize and grow my business in SFI

I will buy 2 units of S-Builder Co-Op.for $44.00
This will get me some PSAs, whom I will train to duplicate

Buy $12 Gift cards Pack of 30 for $29.70
This will get me 30 prospective PRMs, through their purchase I can earn income

I will buy 2 Numbers of $10 Gift Certificates for $20.00

This I will pass on to two of my PSAs who are short of VPs to help them to retain their rank.

With the balance money I will consider promoting my Gateways in low paid advertising sites.

These measures, I trust will surely help me to grow and earn in SFI

Hello John Mark Rucio

It all depends whether your amount of the extra $100 is base on a regular or irregular basis every month.

Here's what you should be doing (if it is an irregular matter).Save the amount for another one or two months. Please keep in mind, that a business takes time to build. Therefore, you will need more money in future as your SFI business grow to a greater heights.

Wherewithal for a regular basis, set up a Standing Order of your choice. Get some TCredits Pack and TripleClicks Gift Cards. Join the SBuilder Co-Op shares or be a member of IHABE. You can also consider Paid Advertising. This is optional.

In conclusion, spend the necessary. Take small steps at a time. Give it a long term plan and your growth in your SFI business will be tremendous!

All the best to your success and see you at the top!

If that amount is your budget to building an SFI business (for a certain number of months, let's say 3 months) then I suggest to have an Standing Order of S-Builder Co-op for $66 ($22×3) to have a number of PSA's/PRM's.

Then use the remaining $34 in accumulating at least 1500VP's to retain your EA rank for that particular period, in addition to your daily, weekly and monthly action VP's starting from your 2nd month (because you have enough available VP's in your 1st month).

Within 4 months (including your 1st month), you can have at least 9 PSA and 8 CSA. To build an active and successfull team from that number of affiliates you must be an awesome sponsor/co-sponsor for them to build thier own team....duplication is the key to success.
