SFI has structured the page to make it easy to find where to begin, but yet this is probably the most asked question in the forums.

There are 3 buttons at the top of the page, the first is START which offers a video overview of SFI and the training program and tells you how important it is to pay close attention to what you learn through the other two buttons.

Button two is SFI Basics and it's really the simple mindset you need to be a success. It will guide you on what is most

Great salesmen have passion.

They believe in their product and can tell you a good story about how they have personally used the product to achieve desired results. They are more interment with the product than a store clerk who hasn't ever had to think about using adult diapers much less which ones provide the most comfort and protection for example.

A Good salesperson also knows the answers to common questions about their product like, "Does this hair spray put CFCs into

Since many sponsors are working with hundreds of affiliates you may try to reserve non urgent questions until you have 2-3 to ask.

I wouldn't be the person who goes to their sponsor on every question for sure. Where possible do your research, use the search box, forum, Ask SC, and Support FAQ's as much as possible so you can focus on what hasn't already been covered a hundred times over.

Where possible I urge teams to work together on Skype or other IM software so you can have

I've seen you do that, tell people to stop training and growing and save the remaining VP for their second month.

The problem with that is they break the good habit of studying hard and working towards completing goals and learn the skills of a-round-tuit. Man I love those little wooden pieces.

When a new member is getting started they need to work at their own pace with neither pressure to hurry through training or slowing down to a snail's crawl. If they complete their training

Top 5 reasons to have TEAM CONTEST

1. Motivation. Contest provide an extra reason to double up efforts and achieve success now instead of later.

2. Loyalty. Having contest builds a strong relationship between you and your team. They will know that their success matters to you.

3. Duplication. By setting the assigned task to be the focus of the competition you can get the whole team working on solutions to a common problem or for achieving a common goal.

When you see the result you desire in all aspects of your business you are a success.

If sales are growing you are a success.

If your team is growing you are a success.

If your demand for other jobs declines you are a success.

If people come up and thank you for making a positive impact in their lives you are a success.

If tomorrow looks brighter than today and today looks pretty good at the end you are a success.

Have a blessed and

Marketing begins with you not an advertisement.

When planning a marketing campaign you need to look at your number one resource and the one product people will make their choice to join or pass on. That's the human connection. See people join a business opportunity based on trust and comfort. They are more apt to join a program a good friend is in than they are to click through a banner ad and sign up.

At the minimum they will need to hear good things about the program and their

Blogging on their own domain, and learning SEO and search engine marketing. Sure the start off is slower.

It takes months before traffic becomes serious enough to drive recruitment and income but in just a years time I have built up my Adsense income to cover my hosting cost and standing order, and my SFI to cover another training system I use in addition to SFI, and a bit of profit I can use to invest in paid advertising.

I am making money with my business and growing my promotion

You don't.

If a member doesn't see the value of SFI you wont be able to stop them from chasing fast money or other people's offers. Many will leave and some will return after finding the grass is not any greener on the other side.

If a team member leaves it is because they were not committed to their own success. Is that the person you want to depend on for part of your earnings? Do you want a team of self doubt and constant fear or a confident group of people dedicated to doing
