The SFI Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com) is now sporting a new look!
For starters, we've installed a new footer and a new header featuring a new navigation bar. The best feature of the new navigation bar is its multi-tier, drop-down menus. That is, you can now go directly to just about any page in SFI from the navigation bar. Just place your mouse over any item in the navigation bar and you'll see an index pop up below it. Click on your desired destination and you'll go directly there without any additional clicking required.
The next thing you'll notice is a totally revamped homepage. At the top we've installed a neat little VersaPoints Status Panel. This panel will tell you exactly how many points you've scored so far for the month, and it also tells you how many points you're short of the next SFI earnings level.
This panel also provides detailed Power Ranking information. It shows you where your ranks compare to your goals. It also shows you how you're doing over the past 10, 30, 60, and 90 days. That is, you'll see what your rank WAS during these time periods and whether you've moved up or moved down in the rankings.
But the BIGGEST change is what you see immediately below the VersaPoints Status Panel...
This part of the SFI Affiliate Center is almost entirely new and we've built in some really great new features. Let's go though the four tabbed sections:
1. MY SFI TO-DO LISTLike the name says, this is your to-do list for SFI. Complete the actions on this list and you'll get trained and you'll begin doing the actions required to create sales and income. At the same time, you'll be earning hundreds of VersaPoints, which boosts your Power Rankings and advances you to higher and higher earnings levels.
Tip: If an affiliate in your group asks you what they're supposed to do, be sure your response includes referring them to their SFI To-Do List. Virtually everything they need to learn and do is contained in this list. All they have to do is start knocking off the items on the list one by one.
2. MY MOVERSThe My Movers section provides you with an up-to-the-minute list of your ten most active affiliates--based on VersaPoints of course. Rather than having to wade through your genealogy to locate your "movers and shakers," we've put them right on your homepage for you so you can easily interact and assist them!
My Movers includes:
- Each affiliate's photo (if provided)
- All contact information provided (including phone numbers and instant messaging)
- Join Date (the date he/she joined SFI)
- Last login date
-Overall, country, and class Power Rankings
- VersaPoints so far this month (which you can click to see HOW they've earned each point)
To help you coach your movers, we've also included the number of VersaPoints they need to advance to the next earnings level in SFI. SHOW THEM how they can earn the points they need and you'll help them and you'll help yourself!
And if you need even more information, just click their SFI ID number to access our even-more-detailed Affiliate Manager screen in a new window.
Note that, by default, we'll display the ten most active from your entire organization. However, if you prefer to identify movers from within your newer affiliates, you can click the link in the top right corner and it will display for you only affiliates who are in their first 30 days with SFI.
Tip: Identifying rising stars in SFI hasn't always been the easiest thing to do, but with VersaPoints, that's no longer true. With VersaPoints scores, you're looking at everything an affiliate does, not just narrow activities like recruiting affiliates. Indeed, you wouldn't want to overlook an affiliate who may be "soft" in other areas but who's generating big sales!
Using VersaPoints totals, it's now super easy to see who's active and who's not, who's moving up and who's an up-and-coming star. And once you've identified a star, you've identified a potential goldmine. See
this "Ask Gery" article for more on this important topic.
By the way, your genealogy has also been updated to now include VersaPoints columns: "VP(M)" provides THIS MONTH's VersaPoints. "VP(T)" provide ALL VersaPoints accumulated to date.
Another neat feature of My Movers is the ability to add comments about each affiliate. Just click on the pencil icon to the right of the affiliate's name and you'll be able to add comments and notes for your own use (no one but you can see these notes!). The pencil icon changes to green to let you know that you've made previous notes. This same notes feature has also been added to the genealogy!
3. HOT SPOTSHot Spots is a new index we've created that features 17 key SFI destinations and sites. Each "hot spot" has a brief overview, making it easy, especially for new affiliates, to get to know SFI's entire "universe."
4. MY GOALSThe My Goals section displays goal-related excerpts from your Affiliate Profile. Why does it get such a prominent spot in the Affiliate Center? Because setting goals and then regularly reviewing your goals is critical to achieving a high level of success! Make sure that you're visiting this important section at least once a week.
What else is new at the Affiliate Center? LOTS of little things, lots of text updates, and a few new key pages, such as:
INCOME INDEXThis is a new index we've put in place that provides links to everything related to making money and getting paid with SFI. Check it out at:
https://www.sfimg.com/Income/showIndex.sfiBy the way, something you'll notice that is missing from the Affiliate Center are references to the Maximum Income Plan (MIP). With the new focus on points, MIP, as it stood, we feel would have been confusing, so we've now folded the components of MIP into the overall system. And for those of you who are particularly sharp-eyed, no, we didn't get rid of the "D" (for Duplicate). Rather, it's now a part of "S" (Sponsor), as it's always actually been an extension of being a sponsor.
