Have you heard?

The wait is over! SFI has recently launched several MAJOR program enhancements, including:

  • PATH (Personalized Affiliate Training Homepage)
  • New, redesigned, end-to-end NGR system
  • New, streamlined new affiliate initiation
  • All new Smart Start

We believe the changes now in place at SFI will dramatically reverse the dynamic of confused and overwhelmed new affiliates. One of those major changes is a radical redesign of Smart Start, consisting now of just two parts:

Part one is a new, rewritten OVERVIEW of SFI. It gives an affiliate a general overview of what SFI is about, how our program works, and how he or she can begin making money with SFI. By the way, if a new affiliate would rather HEAR the overview, there's also now a built-in audio version included!

Part two of Smart Start is the "Affiliate Profile," a primarily-multiple-choice questionnaire that can be completed in 5-10 minutes.

This profile, while seemingly just a group of simple questions, actually sets the stage for a multitude of powerful enhancements to SFI...including "PATH."

Available to all affiliates, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, PATH can help you and your affiliates identify and meet SFI business goals, with precise advise on what to do each step of the way. It's like having your own, personal SFI "success coach." PLUS...PATH changes and grows with you as you advance from brand new affiliate all the way to Platinum Team Leader! And all you have to do is log in at www.sfimg.com!

Naturally, we're expecting these exciting changes to have a big impact on EA upgrade rates. In addition, the following other enhancements we've just unveiled just sweeten the pot even more:

1. Affiliate Center Facelift—When you log in at sfimg.com today, you'll see a sleek, new look. New colors, new fonts, and a less-cluttered, easier-to-navigate site. Phase one of the redesign is in place now but look for additional transformation over the coming weeks as we further refine the Affiliate Center.

2. New Alerts Page—This is a new feature we've added to make sure that important messages and special alerts don't get missed. When you log in at sfimg.com now, you'll first be presented with this page. In addition to corporate messages and reminders, this is also where your "New Affiliate Greeting" will reside. When your new, personally-sponsored affiliates log in for the first time, they'll see your picture and link to your greeting!

3. New DOI System—New affiliates are no longer REQUIRED to complete the Double Opt-In (DOI) procedure. Non-DOI affiliates can now do everything DOI affiliates can. The ONLY difference is that they will not receive any e-mails from SFI beyond the three messages we send out requesting they double opt in. That said, in addition to the three e-mail requests that go out, DOI is now built in to the SFI Affiliate Center, with prominent alerts reminding them to confirm their SFI membership when they log into the Affiliate Center.

4. Revised New Affiliate Notifications—With our new system in place, you'll be getting more notifications than ever before. The new version of the notification has specific directions so that when your team members start generating new affiliates, they'll know exactly what to do.

5. Fast-Track Countdown—All affiliates in their first 30 days with SFI will see a special blurb about Fast-Track in the left sidebar of the Affiliate Center that includes a clock ticking down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds left before Fast-Track is no longer available to them.

6. COMING SOON—We talk a lot about the importance of building strong relationships with your team members. Soon, we'll have a new genealogy in place that will allow you to drill down and view detailed data for all your personally-sponsored affiliates. This new "Details Page" will include:

Name and SFI ID
Contact information
Photograph
Date/time they registered
Date/time they completed Smart Start
Date/time they completed DOI
Current rank (Affiliate, EA, etc.)
Their exact deadline for Fast-Track

Additionally (so long as the affiliate authorizes it), this page will include the Affiliate Profile data, providing you with invaluable information for supporting your affiliate.

We're also going to be including a "Sponsor Support Checklist." This checklist will help ensure you provide proper support for every affiliate you sponsor.

Maximizing your relationships with your team members is one of the keys to building a strong, growing, and profitable organization, and the Sponsor Support Checklist will help you do it with ease!

SFI believes the pieces we've put in place recently will have a huge impact going forward. We are now poised for substantial new growth. For that reason, we encourage all of our affiliates to make a renewed commitment to SFI.

Commission checks are going to be going up, up, up in the coming months and SFI wants each and every one of you to be able to share in the coming excitement!
