SFI is a very simple business but majority of our downline get so overwhelmed with what they see.A lot feel its time consuming when you have to read too much material.Others perceive it as too slow in making any serious money so they lose interest.
It is always best to stick with the basics. Explain to your downline in clear everyday language so that even a newbie can understand how they can get the most out of SFI.
Three key words:1.Sponsoring 2.Refering 3.Duplicating
Sponsoring - They should get the clear understanding that this is using their SFI gateways to recruit other sfi affiliates to build a team of marketers who can help you grow your business.Besides earning 45% direct commission ,you can give them an idea of sponsoring benefits using the SFI Compensation Plan Earning calculator.
https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/EarningsCalculator

Refering - promoting their TripleClicks affiliate links to as many people in as many different places they possibly can.The more members they refer,the more it enhances a big commission pay outs.

Duplicating - Be sure you practice what you preach and do the right things.Teach them the pracice of actively participating in the auctions,Logging in daily, Achieving and maintaining at least an EA.They can also teach their team the same.

Be sure to constantly keep following up with them sharing about how stable,simple and fun SFI is and not a get rich qiuck business and you are willing to help them build a growing residual income.
Goodluck !!

I understand that getting downline members to understand SFI seems to be a simple task but actually difficult to tackle. But here are what I think are possible solutions:
1.) First of all, tell your downline members that SFI is not a rich-quick scheme, hence, they don’t expect to earn much overnight.
2.) In order to be successful in SFI, they need to invest time, efforts, patience and perseverance to say the least.
3.) Tell them that communication is a key element in SFI. But before they become responsive, you as their team leader, need to initiate the communication process. Send them email asking them how they are doing with their SFI business. This would make them feel that you are open to understanding their problems and they expect some sort of solutions to their problems.
4.) Tell them that SFI offers training in internet marketing business and all they have to do is to read them, understand them and implement them in their daily-to-do activities in SFI. Show them the links to make their search easier.
5.) Tell them that in joining SFI, it is like sowing your plant and reaping the fruits of your labor in terms of versa points acquired, sales made in Tripleclicks, and affiliates enrollment in your SFI gateways.
6.) Tell them that SFI offers open communications between and among affiliates in local and international scenes through its A2A program.

Don't over complicate it, just give them the MAP:

Minimum Action Plan (MAP)

1. Become and remain an Executive Affiliate (EA)
2. Find 5 to join you
3. Teach them the same

Back in 2005, I called it my "Green Thumb Approach"... but still the same 3 steps.

Here's an excerpt from one of my 2005 training pages for those who try to make SFI into rocket science when it is really only 1st grade science:

-----------------
The green thumb approach... My way. The simplest way!

It reminds me of when I was in 1st grade. We were each given a styrofoam cup, a handful of dirt, a bean seed and some water. With no knowledge of photosynthesis, the reproductive properties of the bean, soil to seed ratio or any of the details why... 30 six-year olds managed to GROW a bean!

SFI isn't much different... you have all the tools, just put it together and LET IT HAPPEN!

What would the the results have been if my 1st grade class were given too many choices. Would a flower pot be better than a styrofoam cup? Plastic or clay? Green, white or red? What kind of soil? Sand, silt, clay or loam? Hybrid seed or heirloom? Green bean, wax bean, pinto bean or maybe a lima bean? Rain water... tap water... Evian?

Imagine how quickly they would have lost interest, if they were bombarded with all these decisions. The FUN would quickly have faded. How many would have remained focused? How many would have just grown bored, distracted or simply quit?

Whether you are 6 years old trying to grow a bean or 60 years old trying to grow your business, if you bog yourself down with the details... you will lose focus on the basics.

The green thumb approach is about the basics... be it bean or business... focus on the basics and it will GROW...

Getting down line members to understand SFI and what to do is not a problem. The problem is that so many are in desparate economic need and are looking for a quick fix. There is no quick fix except maybe hitting the lottery! Besides your odds of making $100,000.00 in SFI compared to the odds of winning the lottery are far greater.

So the key to helping affiliates understand SFI is to connect with them in the first 24 to 48 hours. If you fail to do this, it's going to be an up hill battle from there! Once you can get a dialog going, then it is a matter of referring the affiliate to the SFI basics. You must be able to walk them through step by step. The most effective way to do this is by using the affiliate manager. It allows the sponsor to see the affiliate's profile including the versa points ledger. From the ledger, sponsor can determine actions taken and make suggestions for action to take to achieve the desire versa points. Once the affiliate is on the fast track, you must still monitor their progress. Answer their questions as needed.

The next step is to get the affiliate to EA. Make appropriate suggestions and review the affiliates versa points ledger to ensure that they follow your recommendations. Then, reward them for their work. Be sure all of the getting started actions are taken as well as launch pad training and intermediate actions. Answer their questions as needed.

Once the affiliate becomes EA, celebrate it like it's your birthday! Congratulate them in the stream and send them a personal thank you. Explain to them that each month they need to earn 1500 points at least to maintain this status. If you have done a good job of communicating with them, they don't want to let you down. It's humbling to have members explaining their situations as to why they can't maintain their status. When this happens, empathize with them and do what you can to help. Assure them that you have a strategy that will help them get back their EA status. In this case, support them 150%

Contrarily, if you never get a dialog going with new affiliates; it's difficult to teach and mentor. You'll have better luck rehabilitating a drunk! This is true because the drunk will sooner or later sober up and you will be able to explain how destructive drunkeness can be. Affiliates that don't log in, don't write, don't call, don't email - just plain don't care and neither should you. You can't revive a dead horse nor can you make a living horse go where he is determined not to go. Be encourage - keep prospecting! Some will, Some won't, So what, . . . NEXT! - Aiming Higher & Dreaming Bigger! - Wilg

There are three important things that I do to make sure my PSA's to understand SFI.

1. Reach out to them as soon as possible after they sign up. Send them a personal email that shows them you have an interest in their success in SFI. Let them know that you are not going to bombard them with emails, but send them only valuable information that gives them the important information they they need to succeed.

2. Send them to the Launchpad!!! In that initial email encourage them to login daily and go through the Launchpad training. Impress upon them the importance of really reading those pages and understanding what each is telling them. These pages are extremely well written and are set up so that the affiliates are giving the right information in proper order for good training.

3. Finally, over the next few weeks, I watch their progress online and reach out to them if they aren't progressing. I send them a very short email offering my service or asking if they have any areas that I can assist them with.

Keeping regular contact with your PSA's and making sure they go through the Launchpad training will help insure they understand the program they are promoting and will help them to be a success with SFI!

Hello, First Direct them to their Launchpad.
Second. Tell them to go to the affiliate center, and click onto the to-do-list.
Keep reminding them to collect as many versa points as they can, because they are equal to income.
Remind them to keep pushing for their Executive Affiliate position, because that is a higher income status of coarse. A standing order, this is most certainly a shoe in for the EA position.
I think if you can convince them of these things, this will get them going.

Suffice it to bind. Everyone will see that is a very good opportunity in front of you and love.

Keep it as simple and easy to understand as possible. Don't overload them with the total picture. Tell them to stick to the basics and not try to read all the information contained on their SFI website. Many try and are soon lost or overwhelmed by the information found there.

I tell my team to do the 'To Do List' and the Lauchpad. They can also gain much with SFI basics, but should go no further in the first few days.

Make it a custom to go through SFI Basics for whole of your team. Ask the downline members something regarding what they went through, discuss openly with them. Make them understand how to work at SFI and ask them to go through SFI RULES OF SUCCESS. Ask them to use all the on site materials to increase their knowledge regarding SFI. Be ready to solve all their quarries whenever they feel so.
If you feel they are less interested in SFI, increase their interests with your rewards or by some attractive Programmes like: Pricebenders, ECA and all those where they would get a much more price for the minimum efforts of theirs.
