Click any SFI ID number on your Genealogy to access the Affiliate Manager, featuring detailed information on that affiliate. For personally sponsored affiliates, this page includes data from the Affiliate Profile, performance statistics, upline information, a sponsor checklist, and more...all designed to help you provide strong support (your responsibility as an SFI sponsor).

Q: How does the SFI Gift Certificate program work?

A: It's simple: use the Gift Certificate Manager to add funds to your Gift Certificate account, view pending certificates, etc. To issue a Gift Certificate to one of your affiliates, go to your Genealogy Report (Gift Certificate Format). Then click the "Buy Now" link to purchase a Gift Certificate for a specific affiliate.

The SFI system then automatically sends your affiliate a special e-mail notifying them of the discount you've offered and the deadline. There will also be a special link included to quickly and easily access and choose an EA-qualifying product or products from TripleClicks.com—your affiliates will receive the discount you've authorized right off the top! These redemptions will be deducted from a special account you will fund.

Create a contest for your affiliates based on Power Rank points. It could be a prize for the most points accumulated in an upcoming month (so everyone has the entire month). Or, you could award a prize to every affiliate who achieves a top five ranking in their class or any other criteria of your choosing.

Prizes could be SFI gift certificates, a free spot in your co-op, X number of reassigned affiliates, or any number of other things. Be creative.

Many people love to compete for prizes like this, but be sure to recognize your winners in your newsletter and/or on your team website or blog, too, as many people like being recognized as much or even more than receiving prizes!

SFI Executive Affiliate Lyle Kannenberg had this to say about this topic:

"Since the launch of the Power Rank system, I've seen huge participation from new personally sponsored affiliates (and I'm running an extra incentive contest as well). So far this month, two of my new signups are breaking records on my team!"

We recently unveiled a new Power Rank pointable action for sending your sponsor an SFI "Commitment Message." Read more about this HERE.

If you're the sponsor and you receive a Commitment Message, make sure you respond to the affiliate who sent you the message immediately. If you're not doing this, you're wasting GOLDEN opportunities for creating invaluable duplication in your group!

Conversely, if you haven't yet sent your sponsor your Commitment Message, don't put it off any longer! Your sponsor may be waiting to receive your Committment Message before they offer you co-op spots, reassignments, and/or other valuable benefits! That is, they may be looking for people to "raise their hands." Show your sponsor you're someone they should invest in by sending them your Commitment Message.
