First of all, we need to be
convinced that world’s economy does play a role in the quality of every one’s
life.
While the we see the tendency to increase prices of all of common man’s normal day to day essentials the one thing that does not increase in proportion is one’s salary and income.
At the same time, when we see a boom in the world economy still the prices that got increased earlier do not have proportionate decrease.
This is a fact hard to digest.
However, we should realize that TripleClicks does not keep increasing the prices frequently and that certain options like purchase against MRP, TCurrency, etc still exists without any upward adjustments barring few items.
Please gather a list of items available with TripleClicks & elsewhere, prepare a price comparative chart, see the results and share it with your Team Members. Let them be aware of the facts.
Then, check if these items are available with any of the ECAs in your own Country/Region/Local Area. Check the local prices and high light advantages like:
1. Quick Delivery;
2. Free Delivery (with Nil or Negligible Delivery Charges)
3. Payment by Local Currency;
4. Replacement Options (for defective items);
Check & understand the purchase nature of your affiliates (within your Team) in your Country.
Have a list of their monthly requirements. Check if these are available with TripleClicks including Local ECAs. Help them to buy from there. This way, they can meet their Monthly Requirements and the VersaPoints required to meet their Affiliate Ranks.
Make them realize through this Transfer Buying that they do not incur any additional expenditure.
Further, in case you have a Standing Order for TripleClicks products, show them that the price remains the same.
The best way to convince your affiliates is to make your :Purchases visible to them. On the other hand, if you do not have a Standing Order or proof of your purchase then it will be very difficult to convince them.

Once upon a time I used to look at the cost of TC products, compare
them to the same products elsewhere and, not exactly despair, but certainly
wonder how these ECAs could possibly think they were going to sell too many of
them BUT then I changed my thinking. Now as an SFI business owner I actively
look for products that are going to benefit me, usually by 'rewarding' me with
more VP, for purchasing them. Once you start doing that, you'll find yourself
automatically calculating what it would cost you to get those additional VP by
other means compared to the extra few $$s you'd be paying for this "costs
a little bit more than other ECAs or elsewhere" item.
As an example, I have been looking at luggage scales and for an extra $2 or $3 I can purchase one from an ECA who offers 3 times the number of VP than other ECAs. Well worth the few extra bucks in my view. And as an aside to this, when I decided I wanted a set of luggage scales, the first place I went looking was TC. Sure, I can get those same scales for a lot less and a lot faster from other online platforms BUT doing that wouldn't be investing in MY business. Furthermore, I'd need to spend that money in SFI anyway, or find another way, to get those same VP. So I figure why not kill two birds with one stone by buying something I need AND getting the VP I also need.
This is the type of 'transfer buying' mindset you need to start a) developing yourself and b) developing in your team. Sure, it may not help them sell luggage scales in particular to the general public but it WILL certainly help them build their own business. Think TC Executive pool, sales VP and so on....!
Another way to motivate your affiliates is by showing them all the unique, handmade products that are available at TC. Many of these items are not available anywhere else in the world; they are TC EXCLUSIVE products! What price do you put on such exclusivity and on that 'one of a kind' type of product?? So present TC to them as a high class boutique shopping mall with dozens and dozens of specialist retailers offering high quality products they will not find anywhere else online. There are plenty of customers out there who prefer to patronize this type of quality retailer over the mass produced chain stores; your job is to find those customers and promote TC to them.
Or you can advise your team to start actively looking for, and recruiting, ECA's in their own locality. 'Click and collect' is now a very popular way of shopping - all the big grocery chains and supermarkets in particular are doing it. You order and pay online, then go pick up your purchase from the retailer. Or you may find that local ECAs are quite happy to provide a local delivery service for a small fee. This avoids shipping fees, currency exchange rates, long delivery times and all those other little things that people use as an excuse to shop elsewhere.
Obviously there are always going to be some products in TC that will be unfeasible from a cost perspective for many people outside the ECA's area or country to purchase BUT if you (or your team) think some of those products are worth having, find a local business that does, or is prepared to, offer similar products. Or become an ECA yourself ....
So to answer your question - there are any number of ways to motivate your team to stop being discouraged by the world economy's impact on the cost of products at TC. Start by changing your, and their, mindset. Once you've done that successfully, you'll be amazed at just how much opportunity you'll find to promote TC products both within your team and to the general buying public. Opportunities that get around the 'it's too expensive at TC' mindset that ultimately ends up contributing to our competitors' pockets.

I believe your approach on costs of TripleClicks costs could be powerful when considering import and shipping fees, ok? When we must remember the importance of good ECAs we could have in every countries where we have Affiliates outside USA and Canada! Where acquire regularly home and personal cares and cleaning products is easiest for the matter than in other countries. This lines products have a relatively economical cost-benefit per unit and practical uses.
On every other products, depending of specific shipping costs and applied import fees, there is no doubt we could see TripleClicks potential sales in a better way done for well-heeled or economically powerful Affiliates who could pay mentioned fees so having in mind their Team Leaders status, shares commissions personal potential incomes just rich for cover some costs and also investment procedures to achieve status progress with associated VersaPoints in result of good products acquisitions even with extra costs.
On world economy context, I don't see it just determinant on TripleClicks prices and our personal reasons to consider it as some interesting options in our usual needs as customers. When we have a reality by that every qualified Affiliate have shares rights on all TripleClicks sales profits. On our own orders also earning VersaPoints and MRPs, and on our team and linked promoted goods, and ECAs and PRMs sold ones.
For so many Affiliates, basic need is necessarily TripleClicks high prices in comparison to other world sellers. But budget to in their first times in the company maintain some Standing Orders covering TCredits, home or personal cares goods and duplication and marketing items like S-Builder Co-op or PSAs to Go.
So, motivate our Affiliates when we have all this factors could be done by our incentives/rewards improvements, own sample on regular activity from that we can earn cash, credits and prizes, and teachings on how work this business despite budget restrictions. Remembering them SFI started with only one product and today have almost 90,000 listed in TripleClicks. Where we have many well-heeled cases examples.
