I would tell them that the TO DO list is a tool for helping them form the good habits necessary to operate any successful business. It is sort of like leading them through the actions of "opening the doors" so to speak each day.
(1) ALERTS TAB-unlocking the doors and reading important information from government authorities
(2) TO DO TAB- shut off alarm system so you and others can enter and move around freely within the store
(3)TIPS TAB- important notices from "Head

Your photograph would indicate you may soon become a "senior Citizen". BE PROUD of gray hair! It is a sign of maturity and wisdom!

Unfortunately,it can also be a sign of those aches and pains common to those of us that have become "Mature". If and when those aches and pains begin appearing,it can often become very uncomfortable and sometimes even crippling or debilitating.

I therefore use and highly recommend Peak Nutrition Glucosamine capsules. I began

Obviously, the best possible way is to get them interested in what YOU have to say, whether that is in the form of a blog or your personal website that creates interest in things you may have such astips and advice on some subject not directly related to SFI.

When they understand that you are offering something of GENUINE value, they will be much more receptive of (and willing to listen to) your SFI invitation.In other words, you cannot simply set up a blog, post 1 or 2 comments you may

"Better" is a relative term and the answer depends completely on the questioner because if he/she is forward, outgoing, and comfortable speaking to strangers, the answer may be "offline" recruiting.

This style of recruiting will probably be more effective for this type of person because it has the advantage of face-to-face and skin-to- skin contact. That is, you (& your prospect) can look each other in the eye and shake hands which immediately instills a slight

This is a REALLY great question!

I suppose many answers will simply refer you to the ideas suggested under the marketing tab or other areas that have been suggested by SFI, and it is possible that some of them may be new to you.

I know there are some there I have not thought of, but your question suggests you are looking for something that has not already proposed.

Well, how about this: Hire an airplane to tow one of the SFI banner ads over any medium sized city

SFI (Strong Futures International) is probably the BEST online business today for several reasons:
(1) It has been around since 1985 thus establishing itself as a Strong, Reliable, LEGITIMATE Company.
(2) It started with only 1 product available only in the US but now has more than 100,000 products available FROM and TO more than 200 countries—truly a WORD WIDE organization.
(3) It has a sales force of 1.7 MILLION people and businesses in those 200+ countries.
(4) It is highly

Being "successful" in SFI means different things to different people. Some people will claim to be successful when they have reached a certain level of income each month. That could mean $50.00 per month for a person living in or near in poverty while for someone else that could mean $5000.00 per month.
Achieving all of the goals one person sets for themselves each month while for others, achieving only 1 or 2 of those "goals" would be success.
For some people,

When I am confronted with this situation, I tell them that they are earning every time they get a Versa Point and then ask them what business they know of that does not have a large investment that must be made before ANY income is produced.
I know of none. Even if you want to sell newspapers or magazines, you must FIRST BUY THEM!
When you sign up for SFI, you immediately have a store with nearly 100,000 products you can sell. When you open a store of nearly any kind, you

Mary, I think you stated your question wrong because I believe you know that we should never "discourage" anyone at any time.
I believe you really meant to ask "How can we remind our PSAs that good, effective and PROFITABLE team leadership means THEY must recognize the rate of development within their groups and understand that some people, for one reason or another JUST CANNOT grow as rapidly as others."
Of course that means they must actually answer the questions

Do you agree SFI is a REAL business? TripleClicks is YOUR store and how can you make any money if you don't open the doors? That is what you can compare "logging in every day" to--just like opening the doors.

Also, learning to "log in" every day helps you develop a good habit and self discipline. It helps you to learn that ,just like any other business, there are things (those little mundane things) that MUST BE DONE every day, just like turning on the lights,
