You must start selling something first, even if it is as minute (small) as a button!

There are so many examples I can give you but none of them will work for you if you cannot accept that you will and you can sell something. Many people shy away from sales because they say they cannot sell or they are not good at it or they cannot approach just anyone. Others feel a sense of "beyond me", how can I do this?

You must understand that for someone to buy something (anything) from you, they have to like you - this may sound rather awkward but it is very true. The next point is then to develop that likable personality. This starts the process of selling.... Please do not say that this is not practical, it is because I have gone through these processes from a non-seller to a seller of high valued products.

To go back to my point of selling a button, when you ask yourself, why should I buy the button from A and not B. This has simple answers. A has probably provided a lot more information about the button, the features and benefits of the button and the buyer is convinced that the seller is looking out for the best interest of the buyer!

Therefore, some very basics that will help you become a good salesperson is you need to be good at what you are selling. The only way to do that is if:

- know your product better than your competitor
- know how to overcome price objections
- provide more information than what the buyer expects from you
- understand the needs of your buyer
- be honest in your dealings, keep promises and when you are wrong, be ready to apologize

This enhances your confidence, boosts your morale and improves your skills to the level where you can immediately know what product you will sell to the person walking into your store. The best part is that YOU WILL SELL.

There are various ways I would handle this query depending on your primary profession.

For instance if you were a Doctor and decided to work with SFI on a full time basis, I would tackle this differently from let us say a sailor who earns a living with SFI.

I find these replies quite useful in my experiences:

- I am a Fisherman with an online store; or
- I am a business woman and own my online store where I supply skinny jeans; or
- I have an online store where I work with a team of 4 and supply health supplements worldwide; or
- I am homemaker with two young kids and I have my own online business from where I supply eggs; or
- I am an online marketer and have my own STORE that supplies over 100,000 products from 203 countries; or
- I am an E Commerce Associate and have my own online business and I support a team of 10 affiliates.

Ideally your answer will be relevant to how you would like your friends and others perceive you and your SFI business.

I treat SFI as a "product" and I have to market it globally to achieve the best results in having affiliates in my team to be leaders who will guide their own teams to success.

For this therefore when a person joins SFI, here are the most important areas where the focus should be on:

1..Learn the concept of the business - TRAIN yourself
- building teams which means sponsoring, encouraging PSAs and staying in touch with your team
- enhance your understanding of various advertising tools you can use to sponsor affiliates
- create awareness about your online shop and invest in your own shop

2..Once you know your product well, you will not lack in confidence and it will become easier for people to trust you to join your team.

3..Have a plan of your future progress and how you will achieve your goals.

4..Give your business your daily attention - this is the start of your future achievements

5..Improve on areas where you feel you lack expertise, talk to your upline support who may be more experienced, visit the Forum where you will receive tremendous support and guidance. If in doubt, contact Support.

In my experience and view, communication is actually what drives a successful sale whether you have an idea, a product or a business. Within SFI, we have all the 3 to work with.
- the idea is to duplicate
- the product is SFI
- the business is SFI/Tripleclicks

Let us look at duplication as a deal you wish to close but keep at the forefront of your mind that you need "active" members to close the deal. Your communication should convey this effectively. Duplication will be meaningless if the members you recruit only join and remain dormant.

Your introduction message should first list the various benefits of joining SFI. People want to know how joining SFI will benefit them. And if you are able to do this in the first instance, you have already achieved your 1st objective - to join them.

Secondly, you need active members. Members, once they join will only become active if you have been able to satisfy their ctriteria for joining SFI, all their questions and most importantly how will joining SFI impact on their lives.

In this respect your communication that helps you maximise the "business" you are marketing and for this you need :-

..to be honest in your communication whether you are using a voice message, a skype video call or a simple email letter;

..do not leave room for speculation. Explain in detail what you feel is self-explanatory because your prospects may not necessarily see it from your point of view.

..let yourself be accessible through the various modes of communication-it should not be difficult to get in touch with you, sometimes members require quick answers and it helps to keep the lines of communication open.

Your ability to be of help to your members will also determine how successful they become and this will ensure that your duplication has paid off.

The bottom line is to not only increase your downline but ensure that they are active and if you can achieve this in every affiliate you recruit, you will have minimised your communication gap(s) and maximised your potential to duplicate strongly.

Marketing made simple, this would be the best approach for beginners in SFI.

A lot of affiliates find the initial stages of SFI difficult to grasp and it is wise not to complicate a simple concept by providing them with a whole lot of methods to follow up with in their marketing.

I would advise you to keep it as simple as possible and this is where the results are likely to be more positive.

For a beginner, the best and most economical method to market SFI is to talk about it to family and friends. This has many benefits some direct and some indirect.

a) it is a lot easier to talk to family and friends even if you are of a shy nature and this can be done in an informal manner. There is a lot of interaction between family/friends and this does not necessitate special meetings or specific times.

b) family members will understand your need to take up such an opportunity faster than strangers who will require a couple of talks/emails to answer their queries.

c) you can immediately start marketing TripleClicks, the associate company of SFI to help you earn by talking about your online store. Friends are likely to support you and sending a few mail shots to friends across your own network will indeed give you results.

If you can follow this consistently for the first 2/3 months, it is likely that you will no longer be a beginner and will start trading on SFI and TripleClicks almost immediately.

Beginners are likely to get dejected when they cannot understand the concept of SFI and considering that there is a lot of material to go through, it is essential to keep the marketing methods simple enough to enable them to appreciate the importance of building a team.

These are, in my opinion the main reasons why affiliates drop out soon after joining.

- They may not have been provided with accurate information regarding income generation and how much, how soon they will earn.

- Team building requires commitment of time and being able to market your business effectively to duplicate. Many affiliates hold demanding full time jobs and not having the available time to sacrifice to this business may be one cause of inactivity.

- Full time jobs provide tangible income whereas with this affiliate program, unless you have an active team and you have made some investments, it would be hard to see that income in the first month. Income is slow to build without these two factors.

- Some affiliates find it difficult to understand the concept and there maybe barriers particularly if English is not their prime language. Despite having access to a translator, explaining the business becomes difficult if the affiliate is not from the same country as you are.

- Many affiliates feel they would not be able to talk to others about the business to help them build the team and this is a discouraging aspect - they may face barriers either psychological or cultural to talk to strangers about it. So building a team is slow-this impacts on the income.

Fear, any kind limits your progress and potential. It is also a negative emotion which you can only overcome by facing it. There are many example I can give you to help you understand why you should change this attitude and thought pattern.

A child growing up, learning how to walk looses balance and falls down all the time but he/she never gives up through fear of falling down until she/he balances and takes the first step towards you. This feeling elates you immediately and there is never a day of looking back to that fear of falling down.

Just as walking was in the hands of the child, so is "success". It is in your hands to make it work and it is in the hands of your team members to make it work. It is all about your attitude and how you perceive the business, what you are willing to do to make it work and how you will do it to achieve your goals. When you have planned your business and are taking charge of it, it is not difficult to become successful. Yes it may take time but the results will be evident.

Get your team to understand the concept of the business well, pass on that knowledge to the members under you and the chances of failure will be minimal. Fear is a vice which has a corrosive effect on you and the negative psychological impact it has on an individual drains away all your positives. Handle it and you will see yourself triumphant. That is without a doubt.

If you believe you will not succeed, you will not. Change your thinking and become adamant that you will not only motivate yourself towards success and the same will happen to your team leaders. A positive attitude is very contagious unlike "fear" which helps you lose your self esteem, confidence and lands you in an environment of doubt. Do not take that path then and then only can you help your team members. You have to adopt a positive attitude.

There are many perspectives to this question but this is my opinion.

You have individuals who have inherent talents and qualities so they are born with those characteristics and therefore it takes little or no effort for them to accomplish those tasks-they just develop the talent over time and become the best in what they choose to do with their talent. Then we have those who work hard to achieve similar results. It's possible to compete with the one who is naturally talented but it depends on you how far you are willing to go to achieve those "best" results.

Similarly, leadership requires qualities that may be inherent in some but can be developed with hard work, commitment and an attitude of willing to create opportunities for others. You can be a born leader but if you are not inclined to take a stand and be at the forefront of what is going on around you, you will stay in your comfort zone and not take a step forward.

SFI is an equal opportunity player and this gives everyone a standard platform which allows you to tap on your potential and become a leader. The time that you spend in duplicating and sponsoring affiliates is the start of your leadership. The qualities you will need to get you to that level of leadership :-
- aggressive marketing initiatives
- never getting dejected or discouraged
- not giving up easily when there are hurdles in SFI
- encouraging and brushing your positive attitude to those who are in your team
- being there for your affiliates when they need help
- having passion for what you believe in and this gives you guaranteed results

You are already a leader once you move up your ranks and it is the beginning of the momentum you will set for your affiliates. One final word, the correct focus gets you to become the kind of Leader that you want and once you believe this will happen, it will.

In my opinion, keep it simple. I was so excited when I joined the SFI program that I worked it out by myself and I was being kept updated by SFI newsletters - if I would have had a lot of content, more than what was provided by SFI, I might have been discouraged to carry on.

Therefore I adopt this attitude with my prospects and then take each person individually and coach them if necessary. This tends to create a certain amount of curiosity for those who are risk takers and those that want to know more will definitely join and find out for themselves.

Unless you are asked questions that will lead to a more detailed explanation, I would not burden the prospect with much to think about at the initial stages of your discussions. It might have a negative impact.
