How to Choose an Efficient and Reliable LocalPay Provider

To situate this issue properly, it is best to understand that Local Pay providers are individual E-commerce Associates, ECAs in SFI business. They should be judged as such on whether they are efficient and reliable. Luckily SFI has a lot of room for rating the performance of ECAs aside from many other sources of information available to affiliates. That provides the very basis for me to answer this question. Because of convenience, many affiliates do resort to only the Local Pay services to meet their currency needs in SFI and TripleClicks. A peep into the ratings of these Local Pay providers who deal on T-Currency and some other considerations do help any affiliate to make a decision on which to choose. 


 
To determine the efficiency and reliability of any Local Pay Provider, you need to take the following into consideration.

1. How they display their T-Currency business in their T-Connect page.
2. The exchange rates they charge.
3. How quickly and accurately they respond to T-Currency orders.
4. The recommendations from your A2A friends and your upline.
5. How polite and efficient the ECAs are in communication as business persons.
6. The level of ratings they have received from their previous transactions.
7. How experienced they are in the business.
8. How they advertise the business in their T-Connect pages.

It is my view that if you take the above into consideration in making the decision about the efficiency and reliability of any Local Pay Provider, it is possible to get it right all the time if and when you make the choice.

How to Convince Persons 50 Years and Over to Get Involved in SFI Business

To take on this issue more directly, let me state that people over 50 are still within the “Earning Years” of their lives. As such, many still want to get involved in business to earn money. At that age, the best business for them is one with no commute, no overheads, no huge capital outlay, needs about an hour a day to do, offers the owner residual income potentials for life and is not very physically demanding. SFI represents all these and more. Reveal to the fellow the following salient facts about SFI:

How SFI Relates with TripleClicks and Auctions

The best way to take on this topic is to draw from our knowledge base as garnered in SFI business. We are at liberty to explain to new affiliates that TripleClicks.com is one of the fastest growing and most popular e-commerce sites on the Web today. With more than 116,000 products (and hundreds of new products being added weekly), TripleClicks has something for everyone, and that makes online sales both lucrative and fun! Tell any prospect that TripleClicks partners with thousands of companies from all over the world to do business online and offline and everyone involved gets to make money as a result. 


 
New affiliates should know that TripleClicks is the e-commerce engine room of SFI. That is the main reason why if TripleClicks is popular, it simply means:

1. It becomes easier sponsoring SFI affiliates.
2. It makes Easier referrals of TripleClicks members.
3. More and better ECAs get registered.
4. More products & services become available.
5. Better prices come on stream.
6. Lower shipping costs come on stream.
7. and lots MORE benefits.

Explain further that as an SFI affiliate especially when it comes to products you're ALREADY buying, it makes more economic sense to buy from your store (i.e. TripleClicks) than any other store. This is more so when TripleClicks probably carries many products and/or services that you ALREADY purchase from a local store or other service providers. It makes sense to transfer those purchases to YOUR store? You can even eliminate or significantly reduce shipping charges by shopping via local TC E-Commerce Associates (ECAs) in your own country, region, or city. In some cases, you can pick up the products right from these merchants' local retail outlets thereby eliminating shipping fees altogether. Remember, we're not talking about spending extra money, just changing from where you're buying. That’s all. 


 
Tell your new affiliate that PRICEBENDERS Penny Auctions allow you to bid on and win hot, name brand products for a fraction of the retail price (typically more than 90% off)! That every auction starts at just one cent, with the price going up by just one cent more for each bid placed. The result is usually a jaw-dropping low price! You could win very many auctions along the way with complimentary Member Reward Points which go a long way to help your SFI business among many other benefits some intangible. These are easy explanations which I believe a new affiliate can easily understand and take action on.
