The first thing to do is cool their jets.

Plain and simple, they need a wake-up call, and a good way to do that is find some articles and reviews showing how people have been continually burned by get rich quick offers that turn out to be scams for the owners fast profits not the members.

Then show them how SFI started before all these failed businesses and is still here and will still be here when the next wave of collapses rob people of thousands of dollars and years of their

I don't know your approach so I can't say for sure what the cure is.

Most of the time the approach will have one of two needs. It will need Time to take hold and begin showing results from consistent application, or it will need minor adjustments until it's fine tuned. That is unless you are using bad tactics like Spamming Facebook Groups or using traffic exchanges because simply put you do more damage than good to your business with SPAM and TE's give horrible results.

What Similar Offers?

E-bay and Amazon do not pay their retail affiliates as well as SFI does in terms of gross commissions and you don't profit by sending them sellers, there is no royalty program like our ECA referral program.

You don't earn off up to 12 levels of downline through matching VP or from Co-Sponsored Affiliates who are placed in your team for free. You definitely don't get to share in the profits of the entire company like you do with the TripleClicks Executive

Why choose? A standing order of 125Tcredits now comes with a minimum of 2 new PSA per month, Just bid fifty times in an auction and you earn a PSA. Bid 100 times to earn two referrals and save the other 25Tcredits to for next month so you can buy 3 PSA that month.

The other option is t try to win more Tcredits with your bids making your potential windfall dozens of new PSA per month.

State the facts. SFI is perfect for people of all ages and those 50 plus will love it's wholesome roots and dedication to building a work ethic and maintaining a high moral standard.

SFI is not a new business, they have been around for 16 years and their parent company has been doing this type of service for 3 decades. Combined with the Bronze Membership in the BBB and consistent high reviews you can not find a more certain investment when looking for an online business.

A2A friends are great for moral support and asking quick questions related to the business. Posting to them via stream gives you practice for the support you will soon be giving your new PSA/CSA in the near future, and reading their quotes and advice expands your mind in new ways.

All of the above are great for your business.

SFI is a people business and the more you learn to network and converse with new people across many walks of life the better you will be able to interact

Too many say Free to Join and that's sad because SFI is more than just a free program, it's a amazing training system, a collective of powerful network marketing leaders, a massive retail force, and a rock solid program that has over 16 years in business.

SFI is stability, growth, innovation, education, and is one of the most rewarding systems of success online.

How can we get across to our affiliates that investing minor (at least) amounts of money into SFI is smart?

Remind them that even Sears which started in a old bar with a handful of printed catalogs and no on hand inventory still needed money for catalogs. Buying things like training through IAHBE, or PSA's through the S-Builder Coop, x-cards, ECA brochuers etc.. all help grow their business and show the professional they are becoming. This is a business, not a game or hobby so invest in yourself.

There is no such thing as a sure thing among safelist or traffic exchanges but with safelist there are some things to look at early on that will help you know if a poor result is a deliver-ability issue or an issue with your Subject Line and E-mail body.

I personally look for safelist that fit the following criteria.

1. They're credit based.

2. They list total members and active members separate.

3. They don't sell blaster memberships, not one of those
