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.

You can easily find information and e-mail addresses of all your personally sponsored and co-sponsored affiliates in your Genealogy report. Just select the Communications format. Click an individual e-mail address to send a message to a specific person, or "Send an e-mail/team mail to this group" link to send a group message (i.e., newsletter, announcement, etc).

Also, keep in mind that numerous formats, sorts, and filters are available in your Genealogy to display all kinds of details about your team members. Check them all out!

My Movers is a powerful tool you need to get to know and USE DAILY.

Found on your SFI Homepage, the My Movers section provides you with an up-to-the-minute list of your 10 most active personally sponsored affiliates–based on VersaPoints. Rather than having to wade through your Genealogy to locate your "movers and shakers," we've put them right on your homepage for you so you can easily interact and assist them!

My Movers includes:

- Each affiliate's photo (if provided)
- All contact information provided (including phone numbers and instant messaging)
- Join Date (the date he/she joined SFI)
- Last login date
-Overall, country, and class Power Rankings
- VersaPoints so far this month

To help you coach your movers, we've also included the number of VersaPoints they need to advance to the next earnings level in SFI. SHOW THEM how they can earn the points they need and you'll help them...and you'll help yourself!

How? Click on their VersaPoints total for the month. You'll now see a listing (in a new window) of all the actions they've earned points for so far and all the actions that they can do to earn even more points. For many of your affiliates, you'll probably see a number of "easy" actions that they can grab quick points for–which can advance their Power Rank, payouts, and perks. Point these actions out to them and offer helpful advice where you can. For example, maybe they don't understand how to get set up to follow SFI on Twitter, but YOU do. Show them!

And if you need even more information, just click their SFI ID number to access our even-more-detailed Affiliate Manager screen in a new window.

Note that, by default, we'll display the 10 most active affiliates from your entire organization. However, if you prefer to identify movers from within your newer affiliates, you can click the link in the top right corner and it will display for you only affiliates who are in their first 30 days with SFI.

Tip: Identifying rising stars in SFI hasn't always been the easiest thing to do, but with VersaPoints, that's no longer true. With VersaPoints scores, you're looking at everything an affiliate does, not just narrow activities like recruiting affiliates. Indeed, you wouldn't want to overlook an affiliate who may be "soft" in other areas but who's generating big sales!

Using VersaPoints totals, it's now super easy to see who's active and who's not, who's moving up and who's an up-and-coming star. And once you've identified a star, you've identified a potential goldmine. See this "Ask Gery" article for more on this important topic.

By the way, your genealogy has also been updated to now include VersaPoints columns: "VP(M)" provides THIS MONTH's VersaPoints. "VP(T)" provide ALL VersaPoints accumulated to date.

Another neat feature of My Movers is the ability to add comments about each affiliate. Just click on the pencil icon to the right of the affiliate's name and you'll be able to add comments and notes for your own use (no one but you can see these notes!). The pencil icon changes to green to let you know that you've made previous notes. This same notes feature has also been added to the Genealogy!

Tip: We haven't determined the cause yet, but sometimes when you click the My Movers tab, you'll get fewer listings than there should be. If you experience this, just click on one of the other tabs like My Goals, then click on My Movers again and you'll likely have everything. Of course, if you do not have any personally sponsored affiliates yet, My Movers will not be able to display anything regardless.

Can't find what you're looking for at the SFI Affiliate Center? Try the SFI Sitemap, which outlines all the site pages within the categories and sections at the site.

You can access the Affiliate Center Sitemap here.

A couple of new additions to the Affiliate Manager lets you better track your affiliate's progress in the SFI program.

Look for the pencil icon beside your affiliate's e-mail listing. Click it for a small popup "notes" window, where you can record your specific notes about this particular affiliate. These notes are private and for your eyes only--your affiliate will NOT see them. Click Save Note when you're done.

Second, we've added information about the VersaPoints needed for your affiliate to advance to the next point level. Armed with this data, you can send off a quick e-mail letting your affiliate know how close he or she is to the next level and include a few suggestions for actions to close the gap.

These are just two of the MANY tools available for you at the Affiliate Manager. To access this resource, simply click the SFI ID number of a given affiliate in your Genealogy report. The Affiliate Manager for that affiliate will open in a new window.

And be sure to check out "Affiliate Manager Tips: Getting the most from your Affiliate Manager" for details on using the Affiliate Manager.

Need to select JUST your co-sponsored affiliates from your SFI Genealogy? It's easy to produce a list of just your co-sponsored affiliates for group messaging and more. Simply select "Generation" as your filter, then "CS" as the filter option.

You probably already know that the SFI Forum is a great place to get answers for your questions from SFI affiliates worldwide (and if you DIDN'T know that, you owe it to yourself and your team to check out this valuable free resource now!).

But to get the MOST from the forum, you and your affiliates will also want to check out the "SFI Forum Tips" article HERE. Located in the Getting Started section of the Training index at the Affiliate Center, this tutorial outlines a simple, easy orientation of the forum, from basic setup to posting questions to creating polls.

Within your SFI Genealogy report, you can use the sorts and filters within any format you choose. HOWEVER, did you know that you can then switch to a different format with the sorts and filters intact? This could save you lots of time when creating multiple lists for issuing gift certificates, reassigning affiliates, and more.

Not hearing from your sponsor? Make sure you've added your contact methods (phone numbers, instant messaging contacts, etc.) HERE...AND make sure you've selected "Yes" next to the "Share with my sponsor?" options next to the appropriate contact fields. Your contact information will then be made available to your SFI Sponsor via your sponsor's Genealogy report and Affiliate Manager.

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.
