The main key to success in the SFI business is active affiliates. What i would do differently if i had had this knowledge is to:
1. Attain EA status every month and early enough in the month so as to get the 2 CSAs and to guide them through
2. Attain at least Bronze Team Leader position every month so as to get my share of second home CSAs. Some of these have proved to be very hard working
3. Have a standing order of at least one S-builder unit to garner PSAs
4. Bid to win at least 50 CSAs every week at TripleClicks auctions. So my team will grow at a minimum of 200CSAs every month
5. Bid actively to win the PSAs that have recently been introduced and set a target of 100 PSAs per month
6. Advertise actively in all possible places for affiliates to join my team. However, this would still be limited for i am really pressed for time.

Of course i would try to be a nurturing and inspiring team leader, set a good example to my group and encourage them to grow their teams too for greater success.

1. Setup Standing Order for 100 T-Credits + S-Builder.
2. Send 200,000 emails per day via safelists and focus 100% on SFI.
3. Be sure I make it to round 6 of E365(which I have, but that's VERY important).
4. Start promoting SFI a lot earlier and using every means I know how.
5. Be sure to communicate and follow up with ALL CSA's and PSA's on a regular basis.
6. Sign-in once per day and complete daily to-do-lists.

What a question? I try to use everyday as if I were starting over because that is what we really are doing. Learning everyday, trying new things, and working the system that is what keeps SFI fresh.

If I were just starting, I'd put every bit of investment I could into Coops to get more downline fast.

I would be more excited about SFI to my friends and neighbors. I'd have signs on my car, in the window of my home, anything to get local people interested.

I would become A2A friends with the most active people I could find, and ask them how they succeeded.

I'd buy the ECA pamphlet and some postcards and every time I went out I'd have them with me, and when I went grocery shopping, I'd take time to walk around the mall and give out my information to the business owners.

Since I am unable to leave my home very much, I would contact everyone I could through email, phone calls and letters. Especially to ECA potential people.

These are the same things I do now. Some are more successful than others, but the most successful thing I've done is keep on going no matter what, NEVER QUIT. That is my mantra, and it has helped me to get where I am, even if it isn't what I'd hoped and wished for yet.

If I was to start all over with SFI given my present knowledge and tools that I have of it, I would:
1) review the earning opportunities in the Basics section,
2) learn more about marketing especially through advertisements
3) generate multiple leads through paid ads platforms
4) concentrate on the To-do list and reviewing my triple clicks page, and
5) teach and encourage my Geneology to grow.

There are three things that I would do differently if I have the knowledge and tools I have now.

1. I will do a massive recruitment in my first month, using the different methods I learned. - I believe that the strongest foundation here at SFI are your affiliates.

2. I would explore ECA early - I would say that many here at SFI became ECA early and have earned a a lot. They established their name and products early plus the trust from their customers.

3. I would have learn the art and science of winning in Auction PriceBenders.- Price bender is another route to success here at SFI.

If you see what are out for bidding they are all things that you need to succeed in SFI. Like CSA, PSA, S-builder, IAHBE subcription. All of them will contribute to your foundation building and ranks.

look at the country leaders boards, almost all of those in the top 50 as all invilve in PriceBender Auction.

I believe that combination of these three will make you successful here at SFI.

Great question, I'm sure we'd all do things differently with hindsight.

I personally would have read the training articles better and got going with the advertising sooner. I also would have spread the advertising between sponsoring affiliates and ECA's.

I would have made more A2A friends earlier and paid a lot more attention to the forum.

I would have treated this more like the business that it is and less like the hobby I thought it was.

I've since done all these things but with hindsight I could have saved myself probably 12 months and been a lot further ahead.

Ahh a time capsule question.

When I first was asked to help someone with something I followed the link and ended up joining SFI. If I was to start SFI again I would not have followed that link at that time as I knew I was not ready to divert into anything else at that time. Primarily reorganize space at home as well as develop the social media networks I was working through.

Please note : this statement is a reflection on my status at that time rather than SFI. Which leads me onto another major thing that I would do differently. I would work out a timeline and management plan, also a social media map. Primarily using the ceiling for a physical points connected to string and drawing pins flow diagram as I am still a physically visual person rather than a virtual retentive person. This physical would then transcend into virtual and become part of the media advertising to use.

The impact the simple can you help me phrase had on me... would I use it. No. I use other approaches. Slower yes. I am also upfront in finding out what people want so that I angle invitations to what others are looking for while stating that it is an opportunity for a home based business or an opportunity for a business to further their clientele basis.

Hope this answer adds another perspective to the question.

First thing I would do is buy the Share builder shares, second I would read everything and follow the lessons the first day, Save all my Gateways to a file on my Desktop so I can place them in all different places, Make some cards or order them for SFI and Triplclicks.

Also Start getting Items to sell on the tripleclick ECA Page, Try to connect and promote other ECA sellers items, Try to get TC Credits to place and buy items in there auctions, Have fun and use your Imagination to advertise your Gateways.

Without a doubt I would spend more money on building my team. It is not as easy as it sounds, to sponsor Affiliates, when you have no experience. It is imperitive to start as soon as you possibly can afford it, to buy PSA's or CSA's. There are a number of Co-ops available, some better than others, but you never know, one day you get a real gem!

I have not been very successful with my ad campaigns. I have tried hundreds of free classified ad sites but had very little success. I now spend a lot of time looking at other ads and trying to fine tune mine. If I had the available resources I would buy advertising, but in the meantime, I am trying to be much more diligent about trying to advertise every couple of days (as time allows) with better, catchy ads (I hope!).

I also did not utilize all the resources available at SFI because of fear of my ignorance on the internet(on what to do and how to do it) for example, how to use E-Cards. They are actually a really useful tool and as long as you have people you can send them to, they can be very helpful. List building is also an area that can be succesful, if you can buy them, the free ones are a bit of a nightmare (putting it mildly) with your inbox inundated....... definitely create a seperate email account for that!

Tp be able to reward your team for their hard work is a great opportunity to inspire them and give the incentive they need to keep trying. I have done as much as I can afford, but if I was able to, I would spend more on free rewards and incentives (that is, not making them buy something in order to be rewarded) Just a free gift of appreciation.

Tripleclicks is great and I love the auctions, but..... I have spent so much money on buying TCredits to bid, hoping to win CSA's, TCredits, Domains, etc., that I would have been better off spending that money on standing orders for Affiliates and advertising.

If I had the time (I have 2 jobs plus SFI) I would go all out and really try to market Tripleclicks to recruit ECA's. Sales is the answer! To be able to earn residual income for life from an ECA sounds an awful lot more sensible than recruiting, buying and spending money on auction(that I lose!).

I hope there is something useful here that you can apply.

I say this: if at first you don not succeed try try and try again also it is better to try and fail than don’t try at all.
Start again higher concentration, to check the details in depth and seek help from the best team, to be hopeful looking for ways to reach the highest level.
If I had to start over again I have to set up my goals to aim high and dream big.
I have immediately opened my Store in TripleClicks and start selling and advertising my product as well as getting a volume of PSAs which I teach them to do a duplication method.
I have discarded the marketing methods that bring poor results, and have experimented and discovered other methods that are more effective.
If I was starting again, I would be able to bypass the mistakes, save myself money, and build my business faster.
With a few exceptions, I now only reassign affiliates to those who have achieved at least the rank of EA2.
Knew what i was doing, and in the end its doing better than my first attempt.
