If you're reading this article,you are most likely either an affiliate with SFI, or are thinking of joining SFI in order to make money working from your own home. It is absolutely essential to know all the advantages and disadvantages of being an SFI affiliate. Here I am giving a full picture of SFI, with it's pros and cons, helping you make your mind up for yourself whether it is really profitable or not, and even show you the 'top secret' that successful SFIers use to prosper.
SFI was first launched in 1998. It’s founder, Gery Carson, is a well known successful businessman. His experience in the business industry goes back to 1985, and throughout the years he’s been featured in lots of business success magazines worldwide.
TripleClicks is a subdivision of SFI, responsible for product selling on the internet. There is no fee to join SFI. In order to be eligible for compensation, no purchases are ever required, as the points needed (namely VersaPoints) can be achieved by referring others into the affiliate program and help them get points themselves. Still, it is much easier to get necessary points through personal purchases from TripleClicks. SFI’s compensation plan is widely spread and one can earn commission on up to 7 levels of downline members.
Purchasing rewards buyer with higher points and commissions…but what if you are situated far away from the company location (America)? I felt I had to test it out myself to give an exact picture...I'm from Malta. I have to say that service was great, however, shipping charges were definitely not! In order to have my items shipped to my homeland, I had to pay more than double my item's price! As expected, lots (including me) voiced their problem to the management of SFI, and Gery Carson found a solution to it, which, as at this moment that I’m writing this article, is in the process of getting launched.
Affiliates will be allowed to refer any shop from their locality to a new gateway for the soon-to-be-launched E-Commerce Associates program. Upon authorization, the accepted shops will be able to display their own products side by side with the TripleClicks range. Every item sold through the ECA program will provide a generous amount of VersaPoints, ensuring superior commissions. Moreover, all affiliates will be eligible to receive lifetime royalties on every single sale made worldwide from the shops he/she referred. When this program is launched, it is expected to minimise, or in some cases even completely eliminate shipping charges.
SFI trains its affiliates through lessons it provides, mostly based on traditional methods. However, from personal experience, these do help, but in short term. On long term one would absolutely need profound marketing strategies, mostly the skill of promoting oneself in front of the business.
Can you be successful in SFI? If you’ve been online marketing previously, you know that for each individual who joins your organization, you get nine who won’t. Personally, I’ve sponsored over 140 people in the SFI business through my own efforts in just three months…but sales made through my downline, resulting in commissions? Literally it was not worth my effort considering the amount of time I spent marketing online through the traditional system.
So what should you do to thrive in SFI? simple! You have to stop using the old techniques and search for the new ways to market online. You have to quit promoting businesses, and start off marketing yourself as a leader. You need to discover how to generate more leads, close more sales, and even monetise all leads who won’t join your main business. The only way to prosper in SFI or any other MLM is to start promoting yourself and not your business, and head for enormous success.
