Easy team support tip 



You know what the #1 complaint/suggestion we get at SFI is? No support from the sponsor/upline Team Leader. And if you're neglecting your group, you're greatly marginalizing the most lucrative aspect of your business--and it's probably costing you plenty in commissions.

One easy solution is to start publishing a weekly or twice monthly newsletter to send to your group to show you are there for them (your Genealogy makes selecting and mailing to your group easy). Then be sure to give the personal attention where needed.

Tips for uploading your photo at the SFI Affiliate Center 



Adding your photo to the Affiliate Center is a great way to ensure your new affiliates are greeted by not just your name but also a friendly face...YOURS! Your picture personalizes SFI for your new affiliates and lets them know that their sponsor is a real person. Consequently, SFI strongly encourages all affiliates to add their photos to their accounts.

But having a stretched or bad photograph of yourself can give a negative impression to your new affiliates. To ensure your picture appears clearly and correctly on the SFI Affiliate Center, check out the helpful tips in this article explaining exactly how to crop and re-size your photos.

SFI Affiliate Question of the Week  



Q: Should I contact the co-sponsorships I've received?

A: One of the reasons we created the co-sponsorship program is so that every affiliate has another support member to assist them. So, yes, we encourage you to reach out to the co-sponsorship affiliates you've been assigned, especially if their sponsor is not actively supporting them. Your Genealogy contains contact information so you can contact them directly (see COMMUNICATIONS format) or via the Genealogy's Group Messaging feature.

Here is a sample letter you can use to welcome a new co-sponsored affiliate to your team:

-----------------------------------

Hi FirstName,

My name is FirstName LastName and I've recently been appointed as your SFI co-sponsor.

What's a co-sponsor? This is a brand new position SFI created in August 2009. As your co-sponsor, I'm here to assist you and support you in building your SFI business.

By the way, co-sponsors aren't the only thing that's new at SFI. If you haven't looked at SFI lately, you definitely need to check them out again! With the changes made in August, SFI is exploding with growth. SFI is now much simpler, easier, and more profitable than ever before. I LOVE what they've done!

You can read about all the exciting August announcements at news.sfimg.com (see August 5th news and the first and second week "report cards").

You'll also want to log in at the SFI Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com). When you get there, you'll see the new SFI Homepage, which now features a to-do list personalized just for you. This makes everything so simple because all you have to do is start completing the tasks on your to-do list. Each task earns you points and positions you for higher and higher payouts!

That's it for now. Be sure to log in at the SFI Affiliate Center as soon as you can, and if I can answer any questions or assist you in any way, just let me know.

I look forward to working with you!

Your First & Last Name
You SFI title (e.g. SFI Silver Team Leader)
Your contact information (e.g. email, phone, IM)

SFI Affiliate Question of the Week  



Q: What are the best actions to focus on to earn commissions?

A: You create revenue in your organization from sales and purchases made at TripleClicks.com by the customers you REFER and the affiliates you SPONSOR. In other words, you CREATE revenue in your organization by referring and sponsoring...and then you MAXIMIZE the commissions you earn on that revenue by achieving the maximum number of VersaPoints you can each month. Therefore, by focusing on referring and sponsoring, you can both create AND maximize your earnings with SFI. Learn more about referring and sponsoring here.

International Affiliates Featured Article 



Are You Ignoring 80% Of Your Market?
Why You Should Be Reaching Out Across The Globe!


Did you know that by mid-year of 2008, the worldwide number of Internet users had grown to more than 1.46 BILLION people, with the total amount spent online estimated to grow to $263 billion by 2010 from $170 billion last year!?

With those figures in mind, consider that although the U.S. led the pack as of July '08 for the percentage of its population online (73.6%), that number still constitutes only 17% (and shrinking) of Web surfers worldwide—a fairly small segment of online users!

The true current and future online growth is and will be in the world's most populous countries, such as China, India, Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. In fact, the Asian continent ranks first worldwide for the number of Internet users—578 MILLION and growing. Moreover, since 2000, Africa and the Middle East have witnessed what can only be described as a phenomenal increase of online users: a cumulative, eight-year 1,031.2 % and 1,176.8 % growth rate, respectively!

Not coincidentally, we've also seen a dramatic increase in new SFI affiliates from these same regions coming in the door, with India, Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan, Maylasia, and China all in the top 10!
