While there are many benefits to having a standing order, until a person finds his own personal reason, trying to convince him is going to make him feel pressured.

A different approach would be educating your downline in the necessity of making sales at TripleClicks:

1. In order for any company to make payments for overhead and affiliates, there must be revenue: TripleClicks is Carson Service's revenue generating branch.
2. The TripleClicks Executive Pool increases as sales at TripleClicks are made. These payments are based on VP, so as they acquire more VP each month, their share of the TCEP increases.
3. You can earn unlimited VP from sales at TripleClicks. Only 2000VP from sales counts for being a team leader, but each VP earned gives you a bigger share of the TCEP.

You can also recommend items to your downline. If you have a standing order you can tell your downline about the products you have on SO.

I have the 125 TCredits package on my SO. I enjoy bidding in the auctions and entering the PTP contests. Bidding gives me VP and MRP and PTP gives me MRP, and I enjoy the auctions, so I also get personal enjoyment from my purchase.

Generating excitement and giving them a sense that they are missing out if they don't at least look at TripleClicks is the way to go, in my opinion.

SFI reminds affiliates who do not have a Standing Order that they should get one. On the alert page, SFI writes a notice about the benefit of having a Standing Order. When affiliates without a Standing Order go to the TripleClicks tab on the homepage, at the very top there is a reminder the affiliate does not have a Standing Order, along with an explanation of the benefits of having a Standing Order. My opinion is SFI already does a good job at pressuring affiliates in regards of setting up a Standing Order.

The best we can do as sponsors is to provide them with information of Standing Orders. Educate them about the benefits of setting up a Standing Order, but most important, lead by example and have a Standing Order ourselves. Then we need to leave the decision to them and respect their decision.

Individual circumstances determines whether an affiliate can set up a Standing Order. Some affiliates do not have the financial means to sustain a Standing Order on a monthly basis. This may be the reason they have not set up their Standing Order. Other affiliates might have set up a Standing Order, but due to financial struggles had to cancel their Standing Order.

So, it is a fine line we walk in trying to teach our downline of the benefit of having a Standing Order. We don't have to convince them of the benefits. We simply have to provide them with the information, be an example and leave them to their decision.

First, lead by example by having a Standing Order yourself. Second, use the explanation below to make your team members understand the benefits of having a SO.

A Standing Order, and I assume we are talking about a SO with 1200 VP or more, is meant to help maintain the EA status every month.

You do not need a SO to make an maintain EA. Below are a few ideas that one can use to achieve and maintain EA2 status w/o any purchase.

1. Make sales at TC and earn both the VP and commission for the product.

2. Refer small business owners to the ECA program and when they list their first product, you receive 100 VP.

3. Build a team of affiliates by advertising on free websites, safelists, etc.

4. Sponsor and promote Duplication. When you support your PSA's to make and maintain EA2 or better you receive between 100 and 300 VP every month.


But, having a Standing Order will guarantee the 1200 VP or 1500 VP and free your time to focus on all the above activities and ultimately increase your commission.

A Standing Order will speed up your "growth" in this business.

More than that, a SO will give you a discount on the price of the item and piece of mind knowing that your favorite item will be delivered to you every month.

To your success!

Every SFI affiliate has his/her own reasons for joining SFI,but the general motive of all affiliates is to earn some good amount money to gain financial freedom.All affiliates start as basic affiliates.Basic affiliates can earn in ONLY two ways whiles Executive Affiliates(EA) can earn in as much as six different ways.They can choose to remain basic affiliates if they wish but if they want to earn more,then they should try to always reach EA every month.These are what you should let your downline be aware of so that they don't feel being pressured by you in setting up a standing order:
1.Draw their attention to their purpose of joining SFI;that they came here to earn some good amount of money to solve their financial problems not to be earning some small amount of money which wouldn't profit them in any way.
2.Let them know that at SFI the only means of having more chances of earning is by becoming EA every month and even advancing to be Team Leaders.
3.Let them also be aware that it isn't easy to reach EA without making any purchase when one advances past the first month and that the only means of doing this so easily is by buying and advertising.
4.Let them know that when it comes to buying,then having a standing order is the best.Setting up a standing order means having a product being shipped to you at rather a lower price than the normal standard price.Enlighten them to make them aware that if they set up a standing order of at least 1500vps they will make EA every month and earn in six different ways.They will also get additional 100vps for setting up a standing order.Plus they will also have the item at rather a lower price.With a standing order of at least 1500vps plus the little effort they make,they can even become TLs and earn matching VPs on their EA2s to add up to their monthly income.
5.Make them aware that to become an awesome sponsor,one must lead by example and setting up a standing order is one of the ways of leading by example and this can even help them in duplicating.
With these said I think they will see essence of having a standing order every month without you even telling them.

They should treat it like 'rental' of their business premises. Rental that has advantages. Not only helping them remain Executive Affiliate but also the benefit of what they purchase with their Standing Order.

+ Purchasing a share in the Sbuilder Coop will help them build their team.
+ Purchasing a subscription to IAHBE will give them access to valuable information on how to build and manage a successful home based business.
+ Purchasing Tcredits allows them to bid on auctions and accumulate a maximum of 500 VP.
+ They can earn Member Reward Points (MRP) that can be used to buy more items.
+ They never have to worry about attaining Executive Affiliate and maintaining their EA2 status, allowing them to focus on DUPLICATION and SPONSORING

There are more benefits to having a standing order, too many to add here. The important thing is they are investing in their business which shows they have real commitment. When an affiliate shows commitment they are likely to receive more support from their sponsor and co-sponsor.

Sometimes it is not within an affiliates financial power to create a standing order. In this case they should show their commitment by signing in each day and going through the necessary actions to build their business. They will eventually be earning enough in commissions to reinvest with a Standing Order. Then their business will really grow.

Hope this helps

I like your last phrase, I also don't like to be pressured so I don't apply pressure also to others.

Not all can have Standing Order even if they like it. First of all clarify who can only have a standing order. Honestly Standing orders are only for those who have Credit/Debit Cards. You can of course choose to pay through paypal but paypaal will not also accept recurring payment if you don't have a valid credit/debit cards on their records.

So I sent emails to my affiliates telling them that those who have credit/debit cards AND wanted to maintain their monthly EA status, please make your Standing orders for the following reasons.

1) They can earn extra VP's from standing order.
2) They can save from the discounted price of the item purchased as standing order.
3) They don't have to worry that they might miss being EA every month. They can therefore concentrate on finding affiliates.

The best way to show your downline the value of a standing order is to be realistic about what they get. Ex. An SO for S-builder will provide a constant stream of potentially amazing team mates that will boost their potential without them having to go out and recruit. An SO for T Credits will be more cost effective in the long run and provide opportunities to not only earn more VP, but also buy, sell, and bid on products. I really believe if you can't help your downline see the value in the Triple Clicks products, you won't be able to convince them to get on board, especially financially.

You could even approach them with something like:

"Hey, did you see *product* on Triple Clicks? I can't believe I got a standing order for only *dollars*! That will save me so much money every month."

Or

"Wow! Did you see that *product* at auction today? It sold for only *dollars*! I wish I would have used my T Credits to bid on that."

You could even send them some T Credits to try out at auction so they can see the value for themselves.

The best way to convince your down line of the benefits of having a standing order is to have one yourself. Leading by example is paramount ,however; you must let your affiliates know that the compensation plan is flexible and that there are many ways to achieve commissions.

If you want them to set a standing order for T Credits then let them know that there are many package sizes available. Let them know the many uses of T Credits, e.g.:

1. VP for every bid spent in an auction up to 500 VP
2. 5 MRP for every bid spent in an auction
3. Leverage your T Credits across your network to stimulate participation in auctions.
4. You may purchase from the MRP store with T Credits.
5. Down load music for TripleClicks

Moreover you can even award TCredits to those who have set a standing order. You can offer a gift certificate for those who wish to buy a larger pack of T Credits but need some extra support. Then you will be helping your affiliates to set a standing order and you will not be perceived as just wanted them to set an order for your own personal gain. Make everything a team effort.

It would be best if you first have a standing order. Then you can show them the benefits you derived from that action.
1. It frees you from worrying about how you can achieve your target of becoming EA each month
2. You are closer to your goal to attain leadership rank
3. Your standing order promotes sales at TripleClicks
4. You are the one who benefits directly and not your upline
5. Additional chances in the daily grand draw
6. Monthly Versa points
7. Monthly T Credit rewards
8. Extremely beneficial if one cannot have access to a computer for any period of time.
9. Freedom from the responsibility of having to complete daily, weekly, or monthly tasks
10. More time to concentrate on assisting PSAs/CSAs

In order for them to not feel pressured, inform them that having a Standing Order is not necessary. Give examples of others who have been successful without Standing Orders. Some affiliates enjoy the challenge and fun of meeting the monthly targets. This also gives them the responsibility of completing the daily tasks and having continual training with the SFI tools.This will help them to see that the choice is really theirs.

With the right attitude from the sponsor/co-sponsor they will be able to make the best decision for themselves and see that their upline is genuinely interested in the success of the affiliate.

How can I convince my downline of the benefits of having a Standing Order without them feeling pressured?

Help your affiliates understand the system and the compensation plan. The best thing you can do for your team is to communicate with them. Guide them, teach them, answer their questions, and encourage them. Motivate them.

If an affiliate understands the power behind the program, they will set up an SO on their own, if they can afford to. Affiliates who have the mindset to succeed in SFI will understand the benefits themselves.

I think it is important to focus on having an SO that will benefit the affiliate. Let your affiliate know how an SO can help them grow their business. The IAHBE subscription gives you access to a wealth of home business information which can help you learn more about being a successful home business entrepreneur.

TCredits can be used to selling things on TC, which can be money in your pocket. They can also be used for Pricebender auctions. You can win PSAs, S-Builder units, and CSAs to grow your team. You can win IAHBE subscriptions, which will give you access to a tremendous amount of information on home businesses and internet marketing, along with giving you enough VP to ensure EA2 status for a few months. TCredits, when used for the penny auctions, also give you valuable action VP and MRP.

It is important to stress the benefits of their standing order. A lot of affiliates set up a standing order so they get the VP attached to their purchase. Instead, encourage your team members to pick something that will be useful for them in helping to grow their business.
