Announcement from SFI : New Features

SFI is pleased today to take the wraps off a slew of major new features and enhancements to the SFI Affiliate Center (www.sfimg.com)...starting with the new SFI FOCUS Program:
Focusing is a critical element in becoming successful. The fact is that for maximum success in SFI (or any business, for that matter), it's absolutely VITAL that you concentrate your efforts on a product or program in which you have a strong interest.

Studies in a variety of fields have borne out this common-sense wisdom: people just tend to perform better and increase their chances of success when doing something that interests them.
Until now, the SFI Affiliate Center layout made this approach difficult: Compensation details, training, marketing aids, and more were presented in generalized sections—a design that did not lend itself well to focusing on specific income or business-building strategies.
SFI's new Focus enhancments are designed to sweep away this clutter, letting you concentrate on the strategies, training, compensation plan details, and marketing aids most pertinent to YOUR specific business.

Starting today, all SFI affiliates will be able to choose the specific SFI product or program on which they want to focus.

At our new "Choose Your Focus" page (https://www.sfimg.com/Focus/showIndex.sfi), you will find a concise overview of each SFI opportunity. Each opportunity also includes a "learn more" link so you can "drill down" for more detailed information if desired.

Once you've chosen your focus, the SFI Affiliate Center will automatically customize itself around your choice. That is, products and programs you're not interested in will be downplayed, while the product/program you DID choose will be highlighted and emphasized for your convenience.

This new "Choose Your Focus" page will be especially key for new affiliates. As you may know, all new affiliates automatically are directed to the "Getting Started" page. Step 5 of Getting Started will now take new affiliates to the new Focus page.

This allows new affiliates to get a great overview of the different SFI opportunities available to them, and to choose the one that interests them the most.

Upon submitting their Focus choice, they are now presented with all the information, resources, and tools needed to get started immediately promoting their choice. Everything else is "faded into the background."

We believe this new feature will provide new SFI affiliates with a much clearer understanding of SFI, it will be less intimidating, and it will create faster and more activity from new affiliates.
You can check out for yourself how this works. First, go to:
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/GettingStarted.sfi

Next, scroll down to Step #5 and click on the link to choose your Focus. Once you've chosen your Focus, you'll be returned to Getting Started and steps #5 and #6 will now reflect your choice.

Once you've chosen your Focus, you'll also find a new "My Focus" link in the top right corner of the Affiliate Center which will take you to a special index for your chosen product/program. Note that as SFI continues to expand FOCUS throughout the site, more and more of your Affiliate Center pages will reflect your chosen area of concentration.

Because the new Focus program covers every SFI product and program, numerous additional Webpages and tools also had to be created. Here are some of them you'll now find at the Affiliate Center:
NEW MARKETING METHODS PAGES
Every SFI product and program will have a listing of marketing methods and strategies. So no matter what your focus, you'll have exact how-to information at your fingertips. Check them out at the new Marketing Methods Index at:
http://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Marketing/MarketingMethods.sfi

NEW COMPENSATION PLANS
Every SFI product and program now has its own compensation plan page. Check them out at the new Comp Plans Index at:
http://www.sfimg.com/compplan

NEW MARKETING AIDS INDEX
Every SFI product and program now has its own index of available banners, text ads, E-Cards, etc. Check them out at the new Marketing Aids Index at:
http://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Marketing/MarketingAids.sfi

NEW INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT GATEWAY
We are excited to introduce today a new product Gateway for Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition. Coming soon will be similar Gateways for all our Consumer Goods products. We've also designed these new individual product Gateways so that we can further enhance them with testimonials, audio, video, and more. You can check out the new Gateway for Advanced Liquid Nutrition by going to:
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Marketing/MarketingAids.sfi
Then, click on the appropriate link.

NEW BANNERS & TEXT ADS
To support the new Focus program, we've introduced dozens of new text ads and banners. See the new Marketing Aids Index to peruse the new additions. Note: Many more banners and text ads are coming and will be added over the coming weeks.

NEW OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEWS
Chances are, there are some incredible opportunities within SFI you've overlooked. To make sure our affiliates are not missing out, we've created a number of "opportunity overviews." Check these out at:

NEW E-CARDS
We've added a new E-Card section for TuneFlow. We've also separated NOC into its own category. Watch for several more card designs for both TuneFlow and NOC to be added soon.

NEW CAFE PRESS STORES
Since many of the strategies provided in the new Marketing Methods pages (see above) require special "gear," we've opened two new stores filled with shirts, hats, bags, mugs, and much more.
Check out Veriuni and IAHBE gear at:

Add it all up, and today's Affiliate Center news is one of the biggest things we've done in years. With such a large undertaking, there may be a few minor bugs. If you find one, please let us know at:

At SFI, we believe the new Focus program is nothing short of the next stage in our development as one of the biggest and best home-business programs in the world today. Our affiliates now have access to a system that literally takes them through the specific steps of building a successful business—from setup to sales to profit growth—that's unparalleled online or off.
Be watching in the coming weeks as we continue to roll out new elements of FOCUS!

HAVE YOU ORDERED YOUR SFI CASH CARD?
In case you haven't heard, SFI is now taking orders for the SFI Cash Card. The SFI Cash Card is a debit card that opens up an array of exciting financial benefits for SFI affiliates worldwide:
• No need to wait days or weeks for your commission checks to arrive by postal mail! Instead, get your SFI commissions paid directly to your card, then convert to cash (in your own currency) instantly at an ATM machine.
• Use your card to pay bills, to order SFI products at the SFI Affiliate Store, or use your card anywhere else online or offline that accepts debit cards! (Most merchants who accept credit cards will also accept the SFI Cash Card.)
• Check your balance and more online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• The SFI Cash Card also faciliates our new, "quick pay" commission program. Later this year, you'll be able to get your sales commissions paid to you weekly!
• Your SFI Cash Card is a powerful recruiting tool, too. Pull out your card and explain how your friends can become SFI affiliates, too, and get money from their own card 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from sales all over the world! An easy and professional way to do this is to give them your SFI Business Card or X-Card #1.
