What's more important--the initial contact with a prospect or the follow-up, and why?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
Thanks so much for this wonderful question.I believe both stages are important.First of all you took the initiative to introduce someone into a business opportunity,so it is equally wise to guide that person until he or she is confident enough to stand on their own.Your passion and love for assisting your downline will go a long way in building a very strong team.
I also believe that your downlines will be able to transfer your training and love to their own downline and thus conduct this business with more passion and enthusiasm.It is like introducing giving birth to a baby and dumping that child to mend for itself.Not very long,that recruit will lose interest and quit the business.I hope I have tried to answer your question.Have fun and work with your downlines!

What should I do when I receive inactive CSAs?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
This a very wonderful question and answer it , i would consider a few factors. People join marketing businesses for various reasons; some out of curiosity, thinking they may generate quick income, some may not have enough time to devote to SFI, some may be due to lack of understanding, lack of passion for this type of business, lack of finance to access the internet on a daily basis, some may also be because they are overwhelmed by the amount of information and training.
All the same, i personally feel as a leader you need to continue to encourage all your affiliates irrespective. Some inactive affiliates may end up encouraged from the information they keep on receiving from you. Some people may be coming from nasty experiences from other affiliate businesses they were involved in, as such, they are taking calculative steps and conducting their own research to ascertain the legality of SFI. My suggestion would be not to give up on your affiliates.
This business is your own and only you know your goals and dreams. By helping others to achieve their goals, you are bound to also grow. GOOD LUCK AND JUST HAVE FUN!!!

What are the signs that a new affiliate is going to be a good one?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
This is a very powerful question. It is the same as asking how do you see that your child is intelligent. I know this may sound unrelated to a business question.
There are different types of people, e.g. those who perform well under supervision and those who hate supervision. Some of the signs that someone is going to be a good affiliate are: passion, hunger, knowledge and the ego satisfaction.
Passion: There are people who just enjoy dealing and communicating with a lot of people and they enjoy venturing in achieving accolades or praise. They enjoy doing things just for the fun of it.
Hunger: Some people have come to the acceptance that they have passed the age of being employed; some know that they are not educated enough to qualify for any high paying jobs, therefore network marketing offers a very suitable alternative in the sense that you are not supposed to produce cv's or educational qualifications. In most networking businesses, your only qualification is your passion, drive or self confidence and commitment which will make you successful.
Knowledge: Most network businesses offer a wealth of knowledge that you may not get anywhere else. Self motivated affiliates don't need to be motivated to seek more knowledge. They are naturally self starters, they ask a lot of questions and they are not afraid to take risks.
I hope I have tried to address this questions which I think is very broad!

What do you tell prospects who say they aren't interested in SFI because they don't know very many people?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
Hi my friend, this is one of the best excuses in network marketing. A lot of people will bring about this excuse because they don't want to be directly involved, but they want to earn. A business like SFI internet based, as such, you don't need to know people personally, but through social media such as facebook, twitter, google+, linkedin, and so on and so on. You can create thousands of friends globally.
You can start this business by inviting your family, friends, church members, club members, former school mates, colleagues at work, the list is endless.
People are never short of reasons not to move out of their comfort zones.
Good luck my friend!

How do you motivate your team to get and stay active with SFI?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999

1.Liberty to determine your working hours.
2.Freedom to determine earning potential.
3.Enough family time.
4.Great Training,Support & Compensation Plan
The list of advantages is endless and SFI offers a wide potential for financial GROWTH.THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!
Which is best, free or paid advertising?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
I quite appreciate your question although it seems really difficult to out-rightly say with confidence which affiliates are best.
Your free advertising medium may bear you much fruit by getting very active affiliates or vice versa. It is only you who will know whether this or that affiliate comes from your free or paid efforts.
The main issue here depends on the passion or hunger of the affiliates you are going to receive. Some of them may just be dormant and inactive from the word go. No matter what amount of motivational skills and efforts you may employ, you may not get feedback or any amount of action from them. Some people are just like trying to push a flat tractor.
Your persistence, patience,team work and perseverance may be your winning combination at the end of the day. You just have to keep on trying to employ both advertising strategies. Individually, i prefer free advertising especially when you are working on a tight budget. Good luck and keep on keeping on!

When faced with negativity in promoting SFI, how do you respond and what path do you take moving forward?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
Thanks so much for your question. In life and in business you will always be faced by negativity, either from friends or from family.
You may be exposed to negative comments because of various reasons, e.g. jealousy, envy, or just from a defeatist mentality. Other people are just negative by nature.
Your friends and family think they know you best, so some of them do not expect to see you taking a bold step towards changing your life. Some people just suffer from what we call "Pull Him Down Syndrome". Jealousy also plays a major role from people who have been defeated in life. Some of these people might have tried a similar business to SFI, so for various reasons they could not make it, so they don't blame themselves but the business.
My advice is that you should listen to your heart and not people who have no dreams or passion as yours. Work very hard and prove them wrong by changing your financial live, that will cause them to join in business without recruiting them. THE GREATEST achievers in life have also been criticised. If you don't believe me, ask Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Beethoven, the Wright brothers and many more. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

How can I find affiliates who are truly interested in SFI and who will remain active?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
Your question is nice, but i don't think you will get an appropriate answer. If we all knew the answer, we would all be rich by now. Some affiliates may seem interested at first and do all required tasks in SFI, and suddenly quit. I t is every leaders dream that your affiliates remain active. It is so difficult to take a horse to the river and make it drink! A lot of people want to achieve great results without too much effort. It is like a lot of people want to go to heaven without working for that outcome, no one want's to go to hell!
Success is hard work full with disappointments, tears and sweat. No Pain No Gain.
Good luck my friend!

Why do some affiliates find success with SFI in just weeks, while for others it takes months or years?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
I would like to answer your question in a very simple way. There are multiple of reasons that influence the performance of each affiliate and i will just mention a few: (a) Lack of knowledge. (b) Lack of patience (c) Lack of finance. (d) Lazyness and many more. To be successful in any network marketing business, involves a lot of reading, practice in terms of presentation. In this type of business, you are carrying the image of the company and it's products. If you are not willing to learn and share, you are going to find it very difficult to succeed.
A lot of people are used to microwave and instant results. Most people are not willing to wait too long to see benefits. Normally they give up at the verge of their breakthrough.
Lack of finance plays a major role. Although a business such as SFI may be FREE, you need to invest capital one way or another; internet connectivity, buying promotional material, phone calls, buying books, advertising etc.
Other people are born lazy. No matter how much you can motivate them, they won't move an inch. Some believe because you have introduced them in this business, therefore, it is your responsibility to make them successful! Some people are very sceptical, they don't want to lose a dime to anything. FEAR OF TAKING RISK. You can take a horse to the river, but you can't force it to drink. Success comes to those who diligently seek it.
To succeed you need to sacrifice a lot, time, money, skills, patience, perseverance and much more.

What is a good letter that I can send to potential affiliates who desire to know more about SFI?
Affiliate since: 02/12/2013, Power Rank: 99999999
The reason why a potential affiliate might want to hear more about SFI is because he/she might have heard about the business somewhere else. The desire to know more is the positive signal for interest, so the affiliate seeks more explanation.
My starting point would have to bolster their confidence that SFI is not a scam and that it has been in existence since 1998 and during that period it has impacted the lives of millions of people globally. The other beauty about this business is the fact that you can run it from the comfort of your home. It does not matter who you are, where you come from, whether you are tall or short, educated or illiterate. The main objective of this business is to change lives and for you to generate recurring residual income at your own time, with family and friends or whoever.
One of the greatest advantage is the world class Training and Support you receive as a member. Above all else, you join or register FREE of charge for this wonderful business opportunity. Your only qualification is your passion, the will to win, perseverance, computer and internet connection.
There are many positive factors or benefits you can mention, but you need to be careful not to oversell, otherwise you can end up losing a potential affiliate. Too much information may suffocate your prospects. You also need to interact with your affiliates, because that will help you to structure your answers according to their needs. The sky is the limit. Hope my answer is beneficial.
