Q: It says on my SFI Homepage that I can advance to the next income level by earning 230 more points. What does this mean?
A: Our system continually monitors your points so it can help you attain the maximum commissions. At this moment, you need just 230 more points to advance to higher commission payouts. See the Benefits Chart to see all the benefits and higher payouts you'll qualify for with just 230 more points.
Q: So I should be working on earning 230 more points so I can earn higher commissions?
A: Yes, that's exactly right! The more points you earn, the higher your income can go, and the more benefits you get.
Q: What is the "VP Top 300?"
A: In addition to the numerous benefits outlined in the Benefits Chart, SFI rewards the top 300 VersaPoints earners of each month with valuable, income-boosting co-sponsorships and entries into a cash drawing (win up to $1,000 monthly). Learn the complete details about these special rewards HERE.
Q: What are the best actions to focus on?
A: The ones that create income for you of course! You create revenue in your organization from sales and purchases made at TripleClicks.com by the members you REFER and the affiliates you SPONSOR...and then you MAXIMIZE the commissions you earn on that revenue by achieving the maximum number of VersaPoints you can each month. In this way, by focusing on referring and sponsoring, you can both create AND maximize your earnings with SFI.
You will, of course, want to complete all the actions on your To-Do List so you'll be fully trained and your business set up properly, but the income you earn ultimately comes from your referring and sponsoring activities.
Q: How many VersaPoints can I earn for referring TripleClicks members?
A: You can earn unlimited VersaPoints on purchases made by members you refer to TripleClicks.
Example: When a TripleClicks member you referred buys a product that has 700 VersaPoints, you immediately earn 700 VersaPoints!
Learn all about how to refer TripleClicks members HERE. In addition to earning VersaPoints, you'll also earn handsome commissions of up to 72% of CV (Commission Volume). See the Compensation Plan for details.
Q: How many VersaPoints can I earn for sponsoring affiliates?
A: You can earn unlimited VersaPoints by sponsoring affiliates! Learn all about how to sponsor affiliates HERE. For every affiliate you personally sponsor who achieves 600 VersaPoints, you earn 10 points. If that affiliate reaches 1,500 points (the Executive Affiliate title), you'll get credited with 100 points—and not just once but for every month your sponsored affiliate remains an Executive Affiliate!
Likewise, you'll receive 150 points each month for each BTL (Bronze Team Leader), 200 points for each STL (Silver Team Leader), 250 points for each GTL (Gold Team Leader), and 300 points for each PTL (Platinum Team Leader) you sponsor.
Important note: You will receive these points when the affiliate qualifies during the month. For many affiliates, this will be when Standing Orders are processed on the 10th, 20th, or last day of the month.
In addition to earning VersaPoints, you'll also earn handsome commissions of up to 40% of CV (Commission Volume) when your personally sponsored affiliate purchase products or services at TripleClicks.com. You can even more when your affiliates sell products and even more yet when they sponsor other affiliates who buy and/or sell. See the Compensation Plan for details.
Q: Is there someplace where I can see an accounting of all the actions I've done to date and when and what points were awarded to me?
Q: According to the Benefits Chart, the commissions and benefits really kick in at the 1,500 point level. Should that be my goal—to have 1,500 points every month?
A: In a word, yes! You should definitely aspire to have a minimum of 1,500 points each month. In addition to earning substantial commission percentages, achieving 1,500 points also gives you the prestigious title of Executive Affiliate. But don't stop there. Even more benefits and larger commissions can be yours by reaching ever higher point totals. For more on this, see "Reach For The Sky!" HERE.

Q: What's the easiest way to make sure I re-qualify as an EA (Executive Affiliate) every month?
A: The easiest way is to set up a Standing Order with at least 1,500 points. By setting up a Standing Order, you'll automatically receive your favorite SFI products each month (without the hassle of reordering) AND you'll always have a minimum of 1,500 VersaPoints monthly (which you can use toward the EA, BTL, STL, GTL, or the PTL ranks).
