Hi Diana
When someone joins SFI they are involved with their own 'Start-Up' business. The only difference is they have been provided with the tools, training (SFI Affiliate Centre) and the retail outlet (Tripleclicks).

Any new 'Start-Up' is going to need enthusiasm and investment.

Success is achieved through matching your income with your level of enthusiasm. Imagine a line chart with two lines, one is blue and shows the level of enthusiasm, the other is red and shows the level of income.

In the beginning a team member's enthusiasm line should be high (because they have a great opportunity with SFI) and their income line low (because they are investing their time and funds).

The enthusiasm level should be kept high, even when they can see that they are investing more than they are receiving.

As time passes the income line will increase and climb towards the enthusiasm level. Now they see that they are making more income and making a profit. The enthusiasm line goes up again which will then drag the income line up.

This will only happen if enthusiasm is maintained through clear goals, sponsor support and determination.

Unfortunately most people lose their enthusiasm and never see the increase in profits. They give up and look for other sources of income, only to do exactly the same thing again. It is a repeating cycle for many people, and many businesses and that is why the number of truly successful people is so low.

My suggestion is to try and help your team members' to keep their enthusiasm level high by rewarding them, recognising their achievements and supporting them when they need your help. Keep in contact with them regularly and show them your own enthusiasm.

If they say they are going to quit they have lost their enthusiasm. Show them your own enthusiasm and ask them what you need to do for them to help them get their enthusiasm back.

You are still going to get some team members quitting. Working your own business is not for everyone. Thank them for their time, tell them you will still be here if they decide to return and keep working with your workers. They are the enthusiastic ones who are going to persist.

Thank you and may you have an enthusiastic day.

It is through QUANTITY that we find QUALITY.

Sponsoring is a numbers game. The more you sponsor the more motivated successful people you will find. You are going to have to dig a lot of COAL before you find your DIAMONDS. Having said that you can target your advertising to particular places that will bring you more active affiliates.

If you are mining for people who are going to take SFI by the horns and create a successful business you need to advertise where people are looking to earn an income online. Some of these places include:

* Online business network sites
* Home business networks such as 'stay at home mums' and 'women's business networks'
* Facebook groups for home business
* Linkedin groups for entrepreneurs
* Drop shipping groups and websites
* Anywhere people are looking for to increase their income

It is not hard to find these places if you will just do a search on the internet.

All the best to you and my fellow SFI affiliates.

Jut point out that:
* SFI is rated by the Better Business Bureau
* has been in operation for 16 years
* has over 2 million members on Tripleclicks (which is one of the most visited site globally)
* thousands of new affiliates join SFI every day
* SFI pays affiliates active every month WITHOUT FAIL

...and share your own experiences.

That should do it. If they are still skeptical it will be up to them to prove it for themselves.

All The Best to you and my fellow SFI affiliates who believe.

1. Buy from Tripleclicks and encourage your team to make purchases from Tripleclicks. Don't concentrate on Versapoints. They will come through doing the usual Daily To Do list items and having a standing order.

2. Recruit Ecommerce Associates (ECA) and Tripleclicks members. Reward them with Gift Certificates or Gift Cards.

3. Become an ECA and sell your products or products supplied wholesale by a third party.

4. Build a team of affiliates, support them, reward them and be honest with them.

5. Have goals, write them down and read them every day. Through repetition of your goals they WILL materialise just like a tree grows from a drop of water.

6. Be a TEAM LEADER. Don't just attain the rank of team leader, actually BE A LEADER.

7. Put away your selfish attitudes and realise that you will not be successful without helping those that come to your for help.

I hope this is helpful to one and all.

Hello Natasa

My advice for new affiliates is NOT:

+ Give up before they even get started or understand how they will earn an income
+ Listen to family and friends who tell them that they are being scammed
+ Be frightened by what they see when they first arrive. It is a simple business
+ Ignore the advice from their sponsor or the emails they receive from SFI
+ Take any notice of members who try to recruit them for other business opportunities
+ Think they are going to get rich quick or without putting in any effort
+ Lack belief in their own abilities. All the tool they need to learn are right here at SFI
+ Forget that they need to sign in every day to carry out their To Do list actions and learn more about SFI.

Hope this help you and others.

Hi Natasa
Some people you will never convince but, if they are here they obviously had a reason to join. You need to:

+ Identify why they joined and then show them how they can achieve it through SFI

+ Setting an example yourself is the best way to convince others.

+ Keep in contact with people who join your team, even if they are not signing in.

+ Ensure they understand from your welcome message that SFI has been around for a long time and has only ever improved since it began

+ Send them to the compensation plan so they understand where they will earn from the SFI business - https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

+ Show the what others are saying about SFI - https://www.sfimg.com/saying.html

I hope this helps

Hi David and all other SFI Affiliates

For me rejection is a part of business. Without rejection you cannot improve your presentation.

Also understand that it takes most people 7 times to be exposed to something new before they will accept it as being real. That is why you see the repetitive advertising on TV and on billboards.

A tactic I use for sponsoring and to avoid rejection is to go to the same place at the same time over and over. This could be business network meetings or picking the children up from school.

You will begin to recognise people's faces as being there at the same time as you are. Smile and say hello because they will be recognising you too. As you progress with this 'familiarisation process' start to have conversations and mention SFI each time.

I highly recommend having a slogan. When asked what you do say something like:

'I help people improve their finances through home based business, so they can move upward with their lives'

Because of the slow exposure you are giving SFI they will become more interested and they will as you. This is the time you need to be ready to present your business to them. Have it clear in your head what you are going to say and practice it before you say it. The more confidence you have the more confidence they are going to have in you and your business.

If your business is rejected it will be because:

1. You have not presented it with confidence and knowledge. You need to practice more. To find out if this is the case ASK the person you have presented to. Most people will want to help and in asking this question they may become MORE interested.

2. This business is not for them. Move on to your next prospect. You should have one ready because the 'familiarisation process' is sequential.

3. They are not ready at the moment. This is OK. Continue to be friendly and let them see you talking to other people about your business.

At no time do I encourage 'false friendships' or 'flattery'. That only leads to problems. Always be genuine with those around you or you will be seen as a fraud and that will do a lot of damage to your reputation and that of your business.

As Always

Greetings Subhomoy and fellow SFI Business Owners,

When I get the answer 'I do not know enough people' I ask

'Who do you know who does know a lot of people? 'WE' can ask them to join the SFI business with you as their sponsor and 'WE' will find more for you when you have completed the Launchpad lessons'.

As Always

Hello William,

I do not try to stand out of the SFI crowd. It makes more sense to stand out in a crowd that knows nothing about SFI. Standing out in a positive way with people who are not involved with SFI attracts people to you who may become some of your best 'movers' in your SFI business.

To stand out in the crowd on SFI may bring you some reputation but I believe you should be standing out as a leader to your own team members. That is important not only to your business but also to the people you have invited to join SFI.

Invest your time in being the best possible sponsor and you will stand out where it matters the most. If I stand out in the SFI crowd that has never been my aim. It is just a by-product of being active in my business and supporting the people around me.
