Why You Should Consider Trying Powerlining in SFI Business

In SFI business, "Powerlining" is based on building lines straight down, one person after another. Typically, you'll go VERY deep. Indeed, you may want to build your Powerlines hundreds of people deep!

Why would you want to build a line so deep, especially when direct compensation is essentially limited to a maximum of 12 generations? Simply put, it's all about LEVERAGE...and the power that leverage can generate for the generations you are paid directly on.


 
Here are the real benefits:

1. Maximum leverage. Persons you sign up into a Powerline can experience a substantial amount of downline activity, all of which can result in them becoming active so as to maximize their position. This of course can have a big, upward "domino effect." That is, if people lower in the line are becoming active (i.e. becoming Executive Affiliates), it's going to naturally motivate and incentivize persons higher in the line (closer to you) to also become active. For example, a new EA that pops up 50 levels below you in your Powerline could generate numerous additional EAs above as this "activity momentum" grows exponentially with each new upgrade to EA in the line.

2. You are the "Originator" for all sign-ups you place in your Powerlines. And per our 10/1/19 change in Direct Commission rules, you'll be earning 25% Direct Commissions on every one of your sign-ups whose sponsor (the person in the Powerline immediately above them) is not an EA. Yes, you can earn the Originator 25% commissions regardless of the generation placed...50th, 500th, 5000th, whatever; there's no limit!

3. You'll put to work for you what will quite possibly be SFI's most powerful and dynamic follow-up system we've ever built. For example, provided you're signing up at least one new affiliate a day into your Powerline, your sign-ups are going to be alerted DAILY to new activity under them and more. And these notifications will take different forms for maximum impact (emails, special Affiliate Center alerts, and more). Just advertise and bring in new people and our system will go to work for you!

4. Accelerated roll-ups. We appreciate that you don't want to place people 500 generations below you and have to wait for many months before they roll up closer to you (into your pay range). Hence, for Powerline sign-ups, we'll be using a special roll-up process. In short, any of your Powerline sign-ups who fail to go EA in their first 60 days will automatically roll up to the first upline EA in the Powerline and become one of their PSAs. The result can be a rapid compression and repositioning of most or many of your Powerline sign-ups to within 12-generations. From there, the standard Active Sponsor Policy can generate further roll-ups and compression over time.

5. You'll be able to use our awesome new Powerline GATEWAY. You can use any SFI Gateway with a Powerline key code to build Powerlines. However, if you want your prospects to know in advance that they'll be joining your Powerline (or you want to promote Powerline benefits to entice your prospects to join SFI), you can use the new Powerline Gateway we've created. Note that you'll have to be an EA, AND you'll have to have started a Powerline and be actively adding new sign-ups (a minimum of 5 per week) to use this special new Gateway.

Welcome to Powerline, a Major New Team-Building System in SFI Business

NEW in SFI business! We're excited today to debut a new system/tool for building lines in your organization. It's called POWERLINE, and it's a new option for all SFI affiliates.

"Powerlining" is based on building lines straight down, one person after another. Typically, you'll go VERY deep. Indeed, you may want to build your Powerlines hundreds of people deep!

Why would you want to build a line so deep, especially when direct compensation is essentially limited to a maximum of 12 generations? Simply put, it's all about LEVERAGE...and the power that leverage can generate for the generations you are paid directly on.


 
Example:
In more traditional promotions, you might sign up 100 people and equally distribute them amongst, say, five of your PSAs. That would mean that only five people received new downline members.

With Powerline, however, because each sign-up is placed one person after another, it means that when you signed up that 100th person...99 people got notified of a new downline member! And the people closer to the top of that Powerline, they've been notified of 70, 80, 90, nearly 100, new downline members!

Might these notifications cause at least some of the persons in the Powerline to take notice and want to become active? It certainly could, and our past experience using Powerline systems bears this out. So it's absolutely something every builder in SFI should at least consider testing to see if it works for them.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR MEMBERS OF POWERLINES

1. As a Powerline member, they have an upline member essentially building their first leg in SFI for them! That's pretty powerful all by itself...but that's not all. That Powerline is also naturally "full of leverage," which means they can benefit from all the activity and commissions and overrides that that leverage creates as the line grows downward.

2. As a Powerline grows downward, it will naturally "sprout" numerous offshoots, both of the Powerline variety, and also when members simply start signing up their own PSAs. This of course creates additional opportunities for more sales and earnings.

3. A special rewards program! The new Powerline system is also going to test awarding Rewardicals for downline growth. In short, for their first 60 days, for every person added to the Powerline under them (by the upline Originator), all Powerline members will have the opportunity to earn Rewardicals, which they'll "bank" and be able to receive into their account on their 61st day--provided they've qualified as an Executive Affiliate within 60 days of joining. Tip: The new LaunchPack is a perfect fit here!

Great Things You Can Do Differently in SFI Business

Well, I have been in SFI business for quite some time now and the last time I did a thorough evaluation of my business vis-à-vis the time I have spent on it, I discovered many things I would have done differently given what I now know. Foremost among these things are:

1. I would earn enough VPs in the first 24 hours to give me a Fast Track badge.
2. I would study my LaunchPad with greater care.
3. I would give the best attention to duplication/building my downline.
4. I would take pains to read/study the business more intensely.
5. I would invest more time/resources.
6. I would interact more with fellow affiliates more.
7. I would de-emphasize money making in favor of building the business.
8. I would take steps to promote my business more vigorously.
9. I would become ECA pretty quickly.
10. I would without fail log into my account and earn at least 10 VPs daily.

These are some of the most prominent things I think I would do differently if given a second chance to start all over. 

How to Get New PSAs Commit to SFI Business

Your first duty as a sponsor is to let all your new PSAs know that SFI is a business, a real business which every affiliate joins in order to earn income. Let them know that SFI works for all affiliates when they earn income from the actions they take in the business daily. These actions can be classified broadly as follows:

 
1. You earn income from selling your own products/services.
2. You earn income from commissions from helping to sell other affiliates’ products.
3. You earn income from earning VersaPoints for your sales/actions activities.
4. You earn residual income as commissions from the activities of all your affiliates (PSAs and CSAs).
5. You earn income on VersaPoints “matching” from the activities of your affiliates up to 12 generations downline.
6. You earn residual income as commissions from the sales made by the E-Commerce Associates, ECAs you introduced into the business.
7. All these commissions are aggregated and paid to you monthly.

To be sure that they earn these incomes, these here below are things they must be committed to and routinely do in order to earn big in the business.

- Log in daily and earn as many VersaPoints, VP as you can.
- Do your daily, weekly and monthly activities routinely to earn VP.
- Advertise/promote your Gateways to recruit PSAs.
- Use all other effective marketing methods to recruit PSAs.
- Promote/advertise TripleClicks products/services to make sales.
- Take advantage of all the marketing tools/methods SFI provides freely to make sales and recruit PSAs.
- Earn enough VP monthly to become Executive Affiliate, EA and maintain a minimum of that rank monthly.
- Read widely in SFI and take all income-boosting lessons as part of the tools provided for the business.
- Join the forums and share your ideas and worries with fellow affiliates.
- Take advantage of the tips SFI gives daily.
- Belong to a2a and share ideas and tips with fellow affiliates.
- Participate in PriceBenders auctions.
- Have fun and learn the business from Trivia/Zebra games provided.

 

If you manage to get all your new PSAs to understand thoroughly the foregoing, it is possible to get them fully committed to the business.

Real Challenges to Success in SFI Business

From my own experience, my greatest challenge to success in SFI business was MARKETING my business. Because I was unable to market my business effectively, I faced very tough challenges in selling products at Tripleclicks and even recruiting PSAs. I found out to my chagrin that because I could not recruit real active PSAs to grow my downline, succeeding in SFI became a real challenge. This challenge was exacerbated because: 

 
- I was too shy to talk to people.
- I was not very good in Internet marketing.
- I could not advertise my business effectively.
- My budget was very low for advertising.
- I was not learning very fast.
- I was not very optimistic.
- I was not even enthusiastic.
- I thought I was not smart enough for this kind of business.
- I did not believe in the usefulness of advertising my business.

How did I overcome these challenges? I sat down and thought long and hard. You know, I even considered quitting the business at some point. My saving grace was that I turned to fellow affiliates including my upline for help. That is what changed my thinking. That is when I discovered that all these factors which hitherto inhibited me from marketing my business effectively can be overcome by deliberate efforts. These efforts include reading/learning the business thoroughly, following the rules and using the tools provided to grow your business. Your upline, your sponsors and your a2a friends can also help you out to find a way to market your business effectively. From my experience in SFI, fellow affiliates willingly give to other affiliates free tips to market their business. This is aside from the free tips SFI Admin makes available to all affiliates on very regular basis. I have over time found these tips/opportunities to be very useful and have actually been using them. My business has been on the upswing ever since.

How Games and Auctions Help Your SFI Business

At a glance, both playing the Eager Zebra games and bidding on auctions are ancillary services to your main SFI business. Both are helpful to your business but on balance, I believe bidding at the auctions helps your SFI business better for the following reasons: 

 
1. Each bid gives you a reward of 1 VP and 5 MRP.
2. You may win the auctions and buy very valuable products at up to 90% off shelf price.
3. Your bidding username gives unlimited popularity and exposure to your business linking through to your TConnect page.
4. You can buy and resell great products at the auctions with substantial profits to the bargain.
5. With every 50 bids you make, you get awarded one PSA which helps to deepen your downline.
6. Having active PSAs from bids helps to grow your commissions volume at 45% on each PSA in perpetuity.
7. Bidding at the auctions helps to toughen you as a business person in competition with other equally very tough business persons.
8. You also learn resilience and the staying power which every business owner needs.
9. You learn to accept losses with equanimity when you lose at the auctions.
10. Your competitive spirit is brought to the fore when you bid at the auctions.

All these are good and very helpful to your SFI business. Even though I accept because of the above facts that bidding at the Auctions helps your SFI business more than playing the Eager Zebra games, doing both can bring about a combined set of benefits to your SFI business. That scenario can help to grow your SFI business real time and in perpetuity.
