I believe most don't work toward advancing in SFI is because of the wrong perspective of what SFI is all about. SFI is the affiliate program and marketing system for the e-commerce site, TripleClicks. TripleClicks sales and purchases are what SFI is all about, not collecting VersaPoints. VersaPoints is the "icing on the cake". TripleClicks sales and purchases are the "cake". All people have to realize is to succeed with SFI everyone just has to do some "transfer buying".

I believe that the biggest cause of people not being active in building their SFI business is because they feel they have been misled by the wording on the SFI gateway Pages.
The SFI gateways state clearly "Start earning within minutes" on one, and "Get paid Instantly" on the others.
We all know it doesn't work like that and some people will lose interest the moment they realise that this is not as easy as they expected.

I would not necessarily say people aren't working to advance here in SFI. Advancing in SFI requires patience and hard work. Besides, I think the answer can also be simple the main reason it's because of money and the lack of it. Sometimes even if you do have some money to invest and advance; when you do what you get back in return might be discouraging or slow-coming. Yea it's money that's why a lot of people aren't advancing as they should.

your question is very broad, because there can be a million reasons why people dont work towards advancement sometimes its things beyond thier control and a lot of time life gets in the way of our goals. I am a witness to that.
That said i believe and of course this is just my opinion that most people dont work to advance in sfi because the cant see the big picture the cant see the benifits down the road a lot of people based on things that they have expeirienced in the past cant visualize or

I would like to show you some reasons as to why people do not advance in SFI.

1. The communication problem due to language barrier which I faced a lot of times with my PSAs.

2. People have sometimes financial issues that restricts them from scoring points that can win them a team leader badge.

3. Also if they dont get profits early they start thinking that its a waste of time.

4. People do not follow the SFI rules of Success and they never focus on strategies

Well, I believe that more people would want to advance if they could get morte support from their upline and i also believe that if more opportunities were available to correspond with those that dont speak english as they should be encouraged to translate their page so that they can speak to their upline.

I think it's a shame that their are so many people from other countries who join and only make a few points every month and yet i try my best to message them but i never get any responses

Hi,

This is really a good question?

The issue here is why people fail in SFI. SFI is a business. A business is an entity that needs to be nurtured and developed to grow. However, those who refused to advance themselves in SFI business has wrong interpretation of the business itself.

As an example, if you have a child, you will take care of him or her from the day he/she comes out into the world, through schooling years, college years to ensure they become successful

Well to answer this question will tell you this: 1º. Many of the responses are valid and effective colleagues and I appreciate the cooperation of all to make it even bigger SFI. 2º I think the first thing to do is think about ourselves.

Well first off they need to be advertising SFI from day 1
don't let people wait to do anything in any business.
If you do you could be waiting for ever.
I look for people who is wanting to make money and knows it
isn't just going to happen by it self.
You need to focus on both sides SFI and TRIPLECLICKS.
You don't realize it isn't easy to advance to upper levels
if you don't have EA2's and been in SFI longer than 3 years.
Only reason why you see newer people

Hi.
Good affiliates are never easy to find, but if you offer a "no lies or promises you can't keep" campaign of ads, and place them in the locations where people are looking for work, you will attract people who are not expecting money for no work.

If you have spectacular ads offering things you cannot provide, you may get signups, but will be a waste of your time trying to get them to change, and they will not become active.

The rate of people who work vs.
