Using Google Translate, affiliates can translate pretty much any page at the SFI Affiliate Center and Tripleclicks store into his or her chosen language.

For the general SFI Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com), just select the language you want the site to be translated into from the footer on any page at the Affiliate Center.

For LaunchPad, click the Translate button, and select your language from the pulldown menu.

You can also get more information about language translation at SFI in this Ask Gery article.

Have some of your affiliates blocked your messages? Don’t let it get you down. Rather, use it as a “teaching moment” to become a better communicator and team leader!

Start by regularly accessing your Block List. In the light gray box on the page, you’ll see the statistics of those who have blocked YOU. Click the “See reasons for blocks” link to view the reasons these affiliates decided to block you, paying particular attention to frequent and repeated complaints. Then, keep those reasons in the forefront of your mind when creating team newsletters and other communications to your affiliates.

For example, before you send out a mailing to a large group of people, check to see if anyone has blocked you and the reasons given. Depending on this feedback, you MAY need to change your tone, leave certain topics out, or improve your writing in some fashion to reduce future affiliates blocking you.

That said, do NOT get hung up on a few people opting out and complaining about your messages. You will never please everyone, and it is a recipe for lifetime unhappiness to try! But if your opt-out numbers are significant (percentage-wise), you should definitely take heed. The last thing you want to be doing is turning off your team with inappropriate messages. So DO listen to the feedback and take action when it’s warranted.

Maximize the value of your TripleClicks PSAs To Go or from PSAs you’ve won in an auction: run them through your TL Co-op Manager!

Your participating affiliates will benefit with guaranteed PSAs added to their downline. YOU will benefit from motivated affiliates with expanding teams of new PSAs, whose activities could add long-term profits to your bottom line!

To funnel your PSAs To Go or auction-won PSAs through the Co-op Manager, just go to the Start A New Co-op page at the SFI Affiliate Center and choose “Your Gateway Site” as the co-op source. Be SURE to enter 1104 in the key code field. Click the Create A New Co-op button at the bottom when you’re done.

IMPORTANT! After purchasing your PSAs To Go or winning the PSAs auction, you’ve got a day or two before your new PSAs begin rolling in. Once they begin to arrive, it will be too late to run them through a new co-op. Therefore, be sure not to wait too long after winning your auction to set up your co-op!

For help and information about creating co-ops and using the TL Co-op Manager, see TL Co-op Manager FAQs.

Find and communicate with your team members currently online and logged in to the Affiliate Center…Just look for the green “chat status ball” on your Genealogy report, on the My Movers page, on Affiliate Snapshots, and on your Upline Team page. Just click the green ball to initiate an online conversation with that affiliate.

A few tips:

1. If you’re chatting with a person who’s primary language is different than your own, keep Google Translate open in another browser window so you can cut and paste text as needed to translate your conversation.

2. When initiating contact with downline members, focus on how you can help them. Support and assist your downline, and you will build a stronger, more profitable group.

3. You don’t have to wait until an affiliate is online to initiate a chat. Your chat message will be waiting for your affiliate the next time he/she logs in to the Affiliate Center.

NOTE: The “Chat Status Ball” may display in the following ways:

* Gray outlined (hollow) ball = not online
* Green ball = online
* Green ball with exclamation point = online and chat initiated/waiting for you to respond
* Gray ball with exclamation point = offline and chat initiated/waiting for you to respond

TIP: For a concise list all the free communication tools SFI has available for you to reach out to your team, check out this Launchpad Lesson.

Simply choose “TripleClicks MasterCard” as your Commission Payment Option at:

https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/EditCommissionPaymentInfo

SFI will accumulate your commissions until they reach $20 USD. You will then be notified via an alert in the SFI Affiliate Center that you are eligible and can order your card. Follow the directions in that alert to order your TripleClicks MasterCard directly through Payoneer.

You’ll then be able to receive your commissions every month quickly and securely on your card in your own currency. You’ll also be able to use your card when making any purchase at TripleClicks.com (including products, services, marketing aids, S-Builder co-op units, TCredits, etc.). You can even use it as a payment option for your auto-delivery!

Your TripleClicks MasterCard from Payoneer also makes a great recruiting tool; pull it out of your wallet and show people just how you get paid every month on this card for your SFI Internet business. They’ll be able to see that this is a real business with real profits…and who wouldn’t want to be part of that?

Nobody likes being pressured. But you could try a more casual approach to encouraging your inactive affiliates to at least log back into the Affiliate Center and check out SFI’s latest updates, enhancements, and programs. Simply send an “Inactive” E-Card to affiliates in your downline who haven’t taken any action in a while. These fun, colorful messages let your affiliates know you’re thinking of them and would like to hear from them again. Just go to your Genealogy, click the paper airplane icon to the far right of the report for your chosen affiliate, select INACTIVE from the E-Card category drop down menu and click the INITIATE button. Then simply follow the directions to create your E-Card and send to your affiliate.
