TEAM LEADER NEWS
LOCALVANTIA EXCITEMENT!
Localvantia is off to a GREAT start with hundreds of
merchants already being pre-registered weekly in dozens of countries by SFI
affiliates who see the huge opportunity in front of them!
The United States leads the way, with Canada, Australia,
Italy, Serbia, South Africa, and Nigeria also having added numerous merchants
so far.
The top merchant categories registered so far are
restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, general retail stores, health &
wellness, automotive, and beauty/hair salons.
In all, merchants in 30 different categories have been pre-registered so
far! And we're just getting started!
-----------------------------------
What is Localvantia?
Imagine earning all your rank-qualifying VersaPoints each
month by simply buying your groceries, fueling up your car, dining at your
favorite restaurants! Better yet,
imagine earning earn all these VersaPoints with no additional expense
whatsoever; you just buy what you already buy!
That's exactly what our new program,
"Localvantia," aims to do! But
Localvantia isn't just about grocery stores, gas stations, and places to
eat. On the contrary, Localvantia is
designed to cover ALL merchants with products and services consumed
locally.

-----------------------------------
Boost your future SFI income now!
While the opportunity in a few months to be able to earn
unlimited VersaPoints just by shopping at your favorite merchants is BIG, if
you're in SFI to earn big monthly commissions, the Localvantia pre-registration
program is what you want to be focusing on!
And remember that this is a "first-mover
advantage" opportunity. That
is, the merchants in your area can only
have one Referrer. If you're not
pre-registering them, if you're letting other affiliates in your area do it
instead, you're potentially forfeiting thousands of dollars in monthly residual
income that could be YOURS. Get your
share!
Here's how easy it is to pre-register merchants:
All SFI affiliates with the minimum rank of Executive
Affiliate (EA) can pre-register local merchants. Here are the four simple
steps:
1. Visit your favorite merchant(s).
2. Take a good picture of their storefront. See examples at: http://news.sfimg.com/2017/06/14/localvantia-pre-launch/
3. Go to https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/lv_prereg
and complete the pre-registration form for the merchant and upload the photo
you took.
4. Monitor your list of registered merchants and results
at: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/lv_mymerchants
Then, in October, when the Localvantia website/search
engine goes live, the merchants will be contacted to confirm their registration
and formally opt in to the program. To
clarify, you're NOT contacting merchants now, you're just pre-registering them
in our database, in preparation for the formal launch in October.
Note: Do not pre-register any merchants you're not
willing to follow up on later. What form
will the follow-up take? It could take
many forms, depending on the merchant, including mailing literature, leaving a
brochure for the owner, phone calls, or even meetings.
For your accounts (the merchants you pre-registered),
your reward is the opportunity to earn unlimited Bonus VP (each worth one share
of the TripleClicks Executive Pool)!
That is, for each VersaPoint dispensed by your merchants, you'll earn
one Bonus VP!
Imagine you've signed up a popular restaurant or grocery
store that SFI affiliates shop at, who earn themselves 50,000 VP a month from
their purchases there. That's 50,000
Bonus VP (shares of the TripleClicks Executive Pool) for you each month,
essentially just for introducing the merchant to the Localvantia program. And that's just for ONE merchant; you could
have dozens or even hundreds of merchants!

TEAM-BUILDING TIP
Greet your New SFI Affiliates Effectively!
When a new affiliate logs into the SFI Affiliate Center,
he or she is greeted by an alert page reminding them of important steps they
need to take and information they need to know. Included on that alert page
will be a message that says:
"Your sponsor--SFI Corporate (support@csi.freshdesk.com)--has
left a special welcome message for you. Click here to read now."
Although the SFI system puts in place a default welcome
message from you for your PSAs, we strongly recommend you incorporate your own
style with a customized welcome message. We've all heard about the importance
of first impressions. Well, this is it. You don't get a second chance to make a
good first impression, so you want to greet your new affiliates with a message
that is personable, memorable, and action inducing.
So, what should your special message include? We suggest:
A. A warm welcome.
B. An invitation to participate in your co-op (No co-op
of your own yet!? To start one, see: https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/TLCoop).
C. An expression of your assistance and support.
D. A small gift (optional).
Now let's put all of the above components into a sample
letter (feel free to use any and all parts in your own message):
-----------------------------------
Dear new affiliate,
I am delighted that you've joined my SFI team!
As your SFI sponsor, I'm here to help you get off to a
fast and profitable start. My success is tied directly to yours, so please
don't hesitate to contact me to assist you with anything...anytime.
I also want to let you know that I operate an advertising
co-op you'll want to consider participating in. The way the co-op works is I
place ads for SFI, and then everyone in my co-op gets a share of all the leads
generated. If you don't have experience in advertising, this is a great way to
start building your own lucrative marketing team. E-mail me at
[YOUREMAIL@ADDRESS.COM] if you'd like the details on how you can participate in
my co-op.
One more thing: I have compiled an e-book of training
tips. This book has taken me years to compile and contains a wealth of great
ideas that can save you months of trial and error. I'd like to provide you with
a copy of my e-book as a small token of my appreciation for joining my SFI
team. You can download a free copy at [MYWEBSITE.COM/EBOOK/].
Once again, welcome to SFI. I look forward to working
with you!
Sincerely
Your Name
Your contact information
-----------------------------------
Once you've created your message, copy and paste it here:
Now, some of you may be saying, "Hey, I already send
all my new affiliates an e-mail welcome...so isn't this redundant?"
Perhaps, but here's the problem with e-mail: SPAM
FILTERS! Because spam literally chokes the Internet pipelines and is considered
a scourge by nearly everyone, filters are employed at every turn to try to keep
the spam out. Many ISPs use MULTIPLE spam filters, and many individuals now
have filters on their personal e-mail browsers, too. The result of all these
filters is that many e-mails are not delivered or get shuffled to
"junk" folders where they're never seen. It's not fair, but that's
today's reality. But you CAN avoid having your message lost.
HOW? Simple: You put your message where your new
affiliates will see it when they log in at the SFI Affiliate Center.

TL KNOW-HOW:
The Icebreakers Tool
What's an "icebreaker?"
Definition: "A thing that serves to relieve
inhibitions or tension between people, or start a conversation."
And that's precisely what Icebreakers are designed to
do--to help you engage new PSAs when they join your SFI team!
Here's how SFI Icebreakers work:
Whenever you sign up a new PSA, you'll have the option of
using the Icebreaker tool.
Note: The easiest way is to just click the link to their
Affiliate Snapshot included in the New PSA Notifications you receive by email
instantly each time you personally sign up a new affiliate. From the Affiliate
Snapshot, click the handshake icon located behind their name to initiate the
Icebreaker.
When you initiate an Icebreaker, your new PSA will see a
screen appear at the Affiliate Center with a concise, friendly, and
non-intimidating message.
Unlike SFIM (SFI Instant Messaging), the Icebreaker
window appears on top of their Affiliate Center screen...so it's impossible to
miss. It also cannot be dismissed without responding.
Four choices are given to your PSA:
1. If online now, they can respond with a, "Yes,
let's chat now" (in which case SFIM is automatically and immediately
engaged for both of you).
2. They can schedule a chat with you for a later time.
3. They can request that your conversation be moved from
chat to email.
4. They can defer to a later, unspecified time in the
future.
