When answering this question, we must bear in mind what were we ready to invest into our new job when we were here during our first month? Many affiliates entered here in order to succeed and start their second income. At first, they are reading a lot of materials concerning e-business, this is time-consuming so they are presented with many opportunities in SFI.
This job is good because you can make many choices. As with any other job, one should decide what is his budget for that month and stick to it. Ordering w3 Kit is a great investment for the beginning. Playing T-time is also time-consuming but free.They should visit TripleClicks daily to see the variety of products there. When they accumulate some MRP, you should suggest them buying TCredits for gathering VP. Later on, you suggest them another opportunities, playing Pick the Price game and bidding at the auctions. When they practice these methods for some time, there can make a Standing Order,join IAHBE, invest in CO-OP and so on. It is important to emphasize what kind of actions you did and what it has brought to you.

I think that this is a very good question to be asking...I'm not sure exactly how many of our new affiliates realise this but if no-one invested money here at SFI or Triple Clicks, there would be no income !
Yes, it's true that we can 'make it' with little or no investment, but if everyone took that path.....well...no commissions !
At first, I believe it is a good thing to let our new affiliates read and learn more about this business oppurtunity. Help them to build a strong Team. Let them find their way and allow their trust to build, both in you and SFI. So many online oppurtunities come with an immediate price tag....one of the reasons SFI is so special is that your credit card can stay in your wallet when you sign up!
Once an affiliate has made a commitment to their business, by logging in everyday, gaining all available points and trying to build a Team (with their Sponsor's support ofcourse) it is time to gently explain that a small investment can make a huge difference to their business....that retaining EA status every month is important as without it they will not be able to earn commission....that if no one spends then there will be no commission! One idea (and this worked for me...) is to invest in your business once: if you have a small but strong team by the time the next month rolls around you may just have earned enough in commission to re-invest back into your business. Every business, no matter how big or small, conventional or home based, requires both work, commitment and investment to succeed. Add a little time and you will soon see the results!
All the very best to you and every one here in building a successful (and profitable) business !

The easy answer to this is......

You do not or should not have to convince anyone to do anything in SFI and their business. This is their business
and those that stick with it for at least 6-8 months will see it for themselves that if they want to survive and be successful and
not take a zillion years, that they should reinvest profits into growth of their business.

This is common sense in any business. In order to grow your business, you should reinvest a percentage of its revenue back
into your business or you are doomed to fail.

For the diamonds you sponsor, you won't have to convince them as they are well aware of it.

For the affiliates that are sort of going along but barely making it, they know they need to invest to grow
but likely do not want to or don't really care enough so trying to convince them will only be a waste of efforts and not worth your time.

Stick to your PSA show promise and don't need convincing and find more of those as they are out there.

Hope,this helps!

Talk to them about your own experience with the Standing Order. What did you choose, and why? What kind of results are yuou getting? If it works for you, it might work for them.

Ask them to think about their monthly shopping list. Are there things that could be bought at TripleClicks? Cleaning products, vitamins, even food items are available. If you had a brick and mortar store, would you buy these things from your neighbor? Of course, since you get a commission on the sale, it's like having a discount program.

The Holidays, birthday celebrations, new babies and other special times call for gifts. Shopping for unique items from all over the world is as simple as logging in!

You can't, and don't have to, make a bg deal of it. These folks are independent business owners, and their plan may be vastly different from yours. Drop a suggestion into the Stream, write about your own experience in a weekly team mailer, talk to your people one on one when they need the extra VP. When they see the value in investing in THEMSELVES, they will do it.

Well this question touches the ACHILLES HEEL for many of the fellow affiliates that joined this program in order to EARN MONEY ON LINE, and the simplest reason is that for some of us it is difficult to take even a Little money out of our Family Budget and earnings to invest in something that we know will let us earn more in the future, it is like saying to them that they should stop eating today in order to be able to eat tomorrow.

Most of the persons in this situation know that to build a business they have to invest and are willing to do so, but they just dont have the money in their hands to so so. They are willing to work hard and beginning to earn the extra money in order to be able to invest it to build his business.

The answer should be sometimes, and I mean for this type of affiliate to be able to earn even a Little money at the beginning even if it can only be used to be invested in his business.

I know also that not every body is in that situation, and in that case it is only a very personal decision, and that person can be lead to invest on his business.

In both cases a Little help from their sponsor, like sending them a Gift Card that will get them started will move these persons and icrease the incomes to the sponsor and of the download line affiliated to whom the Gift was Given.

Hope this help all of us.

We lead by example. We show our affiliates that SFI being a real business needs injection of cash, no matter how small. No business will get off the ground and prosper if there is no financial commitment on the part of the owner.

That in order for our business to make money, we have to put money in. It’s called priming.

In the beginning, it may take a while for some to be convinced of the need to inject a small capital into their business. Some are hesitant to even purchase a small item from TripleClicks.

As it is so easy to earn free VP and become EA during the first month, it is in their second month that we can help them understand and appreciate the importance of investing money in the form of standing order, for then they will start to struggle to earn 1500 VP.

We can show them that it is really a smart move on their part to now invest in a standing order, as it relieves them of the stress of earning the minimum requirement and ensure they keep their EA rank, enjoy the benefits of sharing in the Executive Pool and free CSAs and free TC credits.

Now they can focus on the more important aspects of the business like sponsoring to build their team, promoting the TripleClicks in order to generate sales, and develop potential key leaders, for purposes of duplication, which can result in more profits and higher earnings and a strong and successful SFI business.

Although the SFI business can be carried out without any investment, a quicker and smart way to earn is to invest a small amount of money upfront in order to generate much bigger returns in the longrun. Of course there must be effort and commitment to produce the desired results. We should convince affiliates about the benefits that could be accrued with a small investment.

Affiliates should be told that SFI has almost 2 million members in more than 190 countries with over 106,000 products and over 5000 ECAs. These figures speak for itself and SFI is a game changer in the industry. Thus inveting a small amout of money is a smart move to start off with for bigger returns later on.

Affiliates should be briefed about the compensation plan which SFI offers. Each time your PSA or TC member whom you personally referred places an order at TripleClicks, you earn 45% of the CV. The commission program is powerful because your PSAs are your customers for life. Affiliates also get shares in the TripleClicks executive pool. For each VP you accumulate during the month you will receive one share of the month’s pool. Affiliates who become Team Leaders will receive matching VPs on your downline at different levels depending on your rank. In addition each time an SFI affiliate that you co-sponsor places an order at TripleClicks you earn 15% of the CV.

Affiliates should also be briefed about the powerful ECA program. For each approved ECA an affiliate referred, you’ll earn 10% of the CV on all the sales at TripleClicks plus an immediate 100VP when your ECA lists their first product.

Finally affiliates should be briefed on the power of duplication. When you sign up affiliates do what a sponsor is supposed to do. Teach them about the sponsoring methods and encourage them. Soon they will be scoring versa points and sponsoring their own affiliates. As duplication takes place your earnings will skyrocket.

In conclusion I urge all affiliates to take the first step by investing a small amount of money and become an Executive Affiliate. This small first step creates the potential to move to higher ranks and higher earnings.

Well, every business needs investment. SFI has created a concept where basically you have time to learn and even earn without financial investment. If you build a team soon enough you can sustain your status and still live without financial investment. But, is that called business then? How much you earn that way?
But to be more specific:
1. I let my affiliates figure that by themselves..after all it is their business and it is their call..not mine. I made my decisions and I act accordingly.
2. I try to lead by example. It would be strange asking someone to invest money and you yourself are not doing it. Your motives would be questioned.
3. Show them earnings calculator and let them understand power of duplication.
4. After having them understood and apply power of duplication make them understand the benefits of becoming a Team Leader.
5. If they get to the point No.4 of this list I believe you will not have to persuade them at all at that stage of their development.

Hello Irena great question

this is where I would begin-talking about duplication and leveraged income and the effects it will have on their business. The more people you and your team members sign up the better their chances are of finding the select few they need to make great commission checks from SFI

Do not try to pull their leg to get them to spend any money I have quite a few affiliates who are unemployed at the moment who are unable to make a S/O. Just give them the information needed to help them build their business and when they are able they might make the efforts needed to help themselves to make a solid income with SFI
for the time being just keep up your efforts with sponsoring new team members you will never know who will be your next star or where they might come from.

One thing to remember though is you can lead a horse to water but you CANNOT make them drink it! They have to be willing and able to make any purchase no matter how small.

here is an email I send out to my team every three months or so, so my newer team mates can see the power of duplication and how leveraged income actually works. With a little patience, persistence, and perseverance in this business we call SFI we all can have a strong and healthy bank account and our future is looking brighter every day!

The Power of Duplication!

I once was told by an A2A friend that if you were to buy say 10 individual TCredits for $18.90 and you can get 10 of your team members to do the same you will have a $58 commission and 1,020 VP and if you are active in doing your daily to do list every day through out the month you will have 1495 (for 28 days) you will need to use 5 TCredits to make up the 29th day, 1506 (29 days), 1,517 VP for the month (30 days), or 1528 (31 days) you see for less than $20 a month you are earning a minimum of $58 per month you would then become EA2 every month and earn more commissions

Think if all of your team members would spend that $20 every month so for minimal work you would receive great rewards depending on how deep your team goes say also if you were able to get 15 people since they are now EA2 every month would also give you 1,500 free VP

So in total you would have 1,020 VP from your purchases +1,500 VP from your team reaching EA2 + 497 VP for doing your daily, weekly, and monthly to do lists = 3,017 VP making you qualified for BTL and the matching VP bonus at the end of the month AND 1 share in second home CSA's (they are CSA's who because their original co-sponsor were not able to keep EA2 that month and were reassigned to those who were Team Leaders

1 share for BTL, 2 for STL, 3 for GTL, and 4 shares for PTL sometimes I get active CSA's other times they are inactive and it's our job as Team Leaders to try to bring them around and become active in SFI again sometimes it helps other times they just stay inactive it depends on what motivates them I try to make sure I include ALL of my team in any messages I send out active or not just to keep them in the loop of what is going on in SFI and what they can do to reach their goals they have in life and with the reasons they joined us here at SFI.

So just imagine how many VP you could earn at the end of the month when commissions are paid out on the 10th so on average if you had your 1st generation ONLY maintains EA2

you would receive 1,500 VP per affiliate so for your 15 team members that's 22,500 bonus VP combined with your 3,017 VP is 25,517 VP equaling about $12.76 + the $87 =$99.76 so minus the $18.90 you paid for your 10 TCredits would give you a $80.86 profit each and every month.

This does not include profits from your CSA's considering you would be getting anywhere from 20-100 new CSA's per month due to your now new position of BTL and if you have them purchase 10 individual TCredits per month @ $28.50 per month at a conservative rate of only 15 CSA affiliates taking you up on your offer your total commission for each month would be $109.36

So for your less than $20 investment in your SFI Business you could be earning a nice commission check each month the total commission for 1 year would be $1,312.32 for your first year assuming you only sponsor 15 EA2's if you were to do this every month so for your first year your total sponsored EA2's would be 180 EA2's.

After that 1st year you would be receiving 18,000 VP just for them being EA2 making you qualify for Platinum Team Leader and 270,000 VP per month just in matching VP and your own 1,517 VP (30 day month) for a total of 289,517 VP earning you $144.75 from VP and $1,072.50 from sales equals $1,217.25 per month after your first year in SFI.

Think about if your team grew to your 2nd through 12th level in your downline, your matching VP could be in the MILLIONS! I know several A2A friends who are now above the MILLION VP level.

Now that you are Platinum Team Leader you will get 4 Shares of Second Home CSA's giving you anywhere from about 100-400 new Team members per month to earn commissions from. And you will be earning matching VP on ALL 12 levels of your downline Team.

If you can sponsor even 5 EA2's every month either through free ad sites or paid advertising or co-op's it will pay off in the long run it just takes time to build your Team of affiliates who will be willing to build their Business in return helping Build YOUR Business.

The longer you are ACTIVE with us here at SFI the more you will make. If you cannot afford to spend the $20 per month right now I recommend starting with 1 TCredit for $1.89 then slowly add more and more TCredits till you reach 10 individual TCredits earning you EA2 status. As you sponsor more and more affiliates teach them this method and you will succeed . SFI is here to stay they are NOT going anywhere but UP and more popular as our program gets more and more exposure on different ad sites and in local newspapers through out the world. Keep up your efforts and you will succeed it just takes time, patience, and persistence and if you keep logging in daily and are active in YOUR business you will survive your first year, which will be your hardest year We survived and so can you!

thanks for the opportunity to share this message to all of my SFI friends

I hope it was helpful

This really comes down to leading by example. Once you place a standing order, you receive a badge that indicates this action - showing your downline what you do. If you have a membership with the IAHBE, you also receive a badge for this - again showing your downline what you do. If you have S-Builder Co-op shares, then again, you receive a badge and your downline can see what you do, and how you invest in your success!

As the month draws to an end, take a look at the vp ledgers of affiliates and see what they need to do to achieve the next rank. I always include free actions that can be completed, ideas for using MRP and then recommend purchases out of pocket. This gives them options and lets them make up their own mind.
