How are you finding the new ECA from SFI? I've been seeing lots of developments and I can't help feeling like,'Oh my God! I can't be left out' But even then what would I do? I'm still recruiting and loosing most sign ups since they become inactive. Feels distracting.

I confess I haven't even tried. I can't think of any local businesses who even might be interested given that they can get local internet exposure through local networks, and the fees SFI charges per sale would (IMHO) make businesses decide to pass on it.

I think the program has potential but i agree with sandy in that i just don't know if they can compete with other more established outlets. A concern is that when most people look for products and services online, they usually go to the search engines or to a specific store they are already familiar with.
I know thats not the way we should look at this since loyal and long term members should and will look to buy from sfi... but many will also still see if they can find the price cheaper elsewhere... Price competition is the key to success.
That being said, there is a good opportunity for sfi reps to earn some good money especially in niche markets.

So the niche markets, I imagine are looking for things the established outlets don't have. About the fees, I haven't seen that anywhere, where can I find it? I went back to check and didn't see them. I looked through the ECA listings and a lot of them were ebooks. I've seen some ebooks at triple clicks that are actually free bonuses/incentives elsewhere I hope it's not the same with these? But that looks like what was said before; looking for a cheaper price elsewhere.
I wonder if SFI could give a listing of what's hot at the moment. Just to get an idea of what people would buy online.

Do you think it's likely ECA, Tripleclicks could turn into some form of Clickbank marketplace? Tripleclicks has over 20,000 products and services. That number makes me think a lot of the ECAs for example might get lost in a sea of merchandise where most people online will never see them. If one could extend a publicity service to them somehow... Could be a feasible business venture.

One never knows when a goods and service website will catch the publics eye and take off... but this usually happens pretty quick and is popular with college and high school students first. History tells us that most of what SFI offers is bought [for the most part] by the members. That being said if I were younger and sales oriented, I would be out offering the service to local businesses.

And Erich is right - most of the customers are internal - meaning SFI affiliates - rather than from the general public. A search for some TC products doesn't bring up TC pages easily. The best I could do was search for "natural all purpose cleaner" (no quotes) and TC came up on the bottom of the second page. That isn't going to bring in a lot of new customers - especially with a brand nobody ever heard of except us.
It really is up to us to get the word out, ECA, the "garage sale" approach to TC or whatever. At some point it will (hopefully) reach critical mass and take off!

The approach to to tripleclicks has been a puzzle for me. So much that I haven't been doing anything else apart from recruiting. Need another game plan.
Leading with garage sale gets some sign ups who quickly forget. ECA appears to work offline, something a little out of my reach right now.
I kind of feel used to the old gateway arrangement, pick what you feel you can sell & go. Now the massive store with everything in it is like a maze, though some of the gateways are still there.

The thing to remember about SFI is it is ALWAYS changing. You just can't put too much time into understanding how it works, or get to comfortable with anything, because within a few months it won't be that way anymore.
Guaranteed.
At first I put so much time into organizing and trying to write up training and whatever. Total waste. Absolutely NONE of it applies anymore.
Recruit and just let SFI train.
If you have local ECA candidates that you are familiar with, go for it and hopefully the program sticks.
I tried to sign up some people when SFI was offering the credit/debit card processing program - I forget now what it was called. I am really grateful now that no one signed up because SFI dropped it like a hot potato after there were some problems and I would have been left looking really bad because I was my recommendation.
Anyway, for now, ECA and TC both seem to be working well.

You can find information on selling individual products here: www.sfimg.com/Training/TripleClicks101.sfiEach ECA also has their own store within the TripleClicks store which you can promote individually if you wish. You can find the listing here: www.sfimg.com/ECAreport.sfiIf they have products listed, you can click on their name and it will take you to their store. Once there, if you are logged in... there will be a blue info box near the bottom which has your referal link to promote. One strategy is to refer ECAs and then promote their store, this way you can earn sales commissions in addition to the ECA royalties.

I wonder if most of the sales are coming from the TripleClicks Pricebender auctions with products SFI had bought in bulk like the headphones, silver, key boards....etc. Not to mention the sales from bidding on Tcredits and CSA's.
Regarding earning as a ECA, it seems most of the products are coming from people selling from their local shops or stores.... don't know who referred them. Also many reselling marketing software and other cheap DVD's.
That being said, If you can locate a few local stores with quality products and competitive prices then they could sell and the enroller make money.... if they actually enroll from the referral. IDK but would also be concerned if they could just bypass the my sales contact and enroll in sfi from sfimg.com and then become a ECA thinking they could bypass some commissions.
I've enrolled 12 ECA from online and half of them have 1 or 0 products for sale. Needless to say you would need to be very lucky to recruit a good one on the internet. I believe in person sales is the only way to get something out of this.
