Why Your Approach for Attracting New Affiliates is Not Working

The first question that comes to mind here is to ask, why is your current approach not working? If really it is not, the most logical thing to do is for you to change your approach. In SFI business, we are always advised to discard what is not working for us and to do more of what works for us. That may look very simple but many affiliates do not do so that is largely why they remain stuck in a dead end alley for much too long. 

 
As Zig Ziglar likes to say, “Successful people do not do different things, they do things differently.” That is why they are successful. All SFI affiliates do virtually the same things. But, it is only those affiliates who manage to do these things differently that get to succeed in the business.

To tackle the matter more directly, I will advise you to review and re-strategize on:

1. Your promotional methods.
2. The media you use.
3. Your approach to prospects.
4. What you promise/offer your prospects.
5. Methods of approach.
6. Who you approach.
7. How you approach them.
8. The tools you are using in your approach.
9. What you do and what you omit to do.
10. Your level of aggression/anxiety when prospecting. 


 
To get favorable results from the above, just review the numerous promotional methods SFI recommends. Find out from experience what works for you and what doesn’t. Do more of what works and your situation will change for the better. Just remember, as one SFI Success Rule says, “Some will, some won’t, so what? Next?” What that means is that you should not be discouraged if you are not succeeding with recruiting new affiliates for now. It could be that you have not been lucky yet to meet good prospects. That means, you could succeed later with better efforts/strategies.

I have no doubt about that, so believe me.

How A2A Helps Build Your SFI Business

Affiliate to Affiliate (aka a2a) is a great tool in SFI which if used correctly can help build any affiliate’s business. Here are some of the ways you can use a2a to build your own business.

Through a2a, you can search, browse, and exchange messages with ANY SFI affiliate! Just click the "Add to Friends List" link on affiliate’s a2a pages with whom you wish to interact. Messages are sent through SFI's internal mail servers and are accessed at the SFI Affiliate Center when you log in. 


 
A2A allows you to identify SFI affiliates in your own country, state/province, or city; or search by gender, age, join date, common goals, and more...or any combination!

You can also create "buddy lists," brainstorm, share tips, discuss SFI news, and more.
One of the most valuable attributes of a2a is what it provides in LOCALIZED assistance. For example, by contacting other SFI affiliates in your area, you can learn about the best marketing methods and strategies for your region of the world. 

Here's another great way to use a2a. You can use it to contact local affiliates in your area and form local SFI support groups and organize local get-togethers.

But don't stop there. With a2a's powerful search capabilities, you can find affiliates just like you to interact with. For example, let's say you're a 35-year-old female who lives in London, England. Let's also say you joined SFIthree months ago. With a few clicks and a quick search, you can locate other SFI affiliates of your same age, gender, and location who started in SFI the same time as you did! Very cool!

Can you now see how useful a2a is in building your SFI business? 

How to Use TCredits to Promote Activity in Your Team

 

Your SFI team is like a family whose welfare/wellbeing is of equal concern to all members. People generally make better progress in any human endeavor if they work as a team. So it is in SFI. TCredits are the peculiar currencies of SFI which are acceptable for all the major business transactions in its TripleClicks shop. Using TCredits to promote business in SFI is like using money to promote business anywhere else. That is the reason why TCredits are very valuable to all SFI affiliates.

To promote activity in your team, you can use TCredits as follows:

1. Give away TCredits to team members as gifts.
2. Give away TCredits as rewards to team members when they achieve some milestone.
3. Use TCredits to boost your down-line for the benefit of your team members.
4. Pay out TCredits to team members who win in your competitions.
5. Give away TCredits on demand to team members if you can afford to.
6. Use TCredits to entice your team members to participate in penny auctions.

What Makes one Safe-list Better than Another

I do understand that safe-lists (aka Mailers) are sites SFI affiliates can register on to expose their businesses by e-mail advertising with a very high probability of good patronage. What makes one safe-list better than the other depends on the integrity of the site and its ranking in Search Engines. That is why you just have to consider the following when trying to distinguish one safe-list from another in terms of quality.

1. Is the listing site free or paid for?
2. How does it rank in Search Engines.
3. How frequently does the list send out the e-mails?
4. What types of listings does it allow?
5. Is it owner/creator-managed?
6. What additional perks does the list offer?
7. How long has it been in successful safe-listing business?
8. How favorable are the testimonies of users?
9. How many members are registered on the site?
10. How convenient it is to use the lists?
11. Does it mail only to its registered members?
12. How large is its e-mail addresses bank?

With these considerations, you can make informed-judgment about the quality of safe-lists.
