The biggest turn-off you should avoid talking to your prospects about is "purchase".
Avoid starting discussion with the idea that they have to buy products. People do not want to part with money easily, yet they want to make money.

SFI has many other ways to make it other than making people buy products. For instance, working on your To-Do-List daily earns you Versa Points without buying anything but the movement may be slow.

Completing your profile by just adding your picture (New Affiliates) earns you VersaPoints; Liking SFI & TripleClicks on Facebook and following them on Twitter also earns you Versa Points among others (these are things they do anyway on social media without any reward). Let your prospects start slow and when they mature and become convinced that SFI is real, they opt for product purchase on their own accord.

Concentrate on their small but continuous improvement which will lead to commitment and consistence.
Good Luck.

There is no amount of motivation that will make your downline spend money to maintain their status monthly if they are not convinced that they need to do that for the growth of their own business first.

If they see you pushing for them to attain EA so that you can reap from their effort, they may be discouraged. Remember, most of them have never earn a dime and are still hoping.

All you need to do is to keep encouraging your MOVERS to be consistent in working toward a steady growth like babies still suckling. When they are weaned, they will not even remember that someone somewhere is benefiting from their effort.

When they attain a team leader status, I can assure you that you will scarcely have to push them to do anything. They will understand that they are in SFI for themselves and not for anyone else.
A very good test however, is to find out how many of your downlines have a consistent Standing Order for more than two months in a row.

You can concentrate on them and give them all the support they require. They are your prospective Team Leaders.

Also, your own status monthly will be viewed by your downline. They may want to see how much VPs you make through purchases too.
Leadership must be by example. Your own Standing Order must be like a Northern Star (Constant).

Finally, establish a better relationship with your downline outside the -Mailers (Genealogy Mailer, PSA & CSA Mailer) and advance to social media, direct mail and possibly phone contact. When you win their confidence, they will do better.

Remember all SFI Leader are invincible staff. If your team members trust you, they trust SFI and if you fail them, SFI has failed them.
Good Luck

This question is rather to query the authenticity and reliability of SFI based on perceived opinion or personal experience of the author who may have encountered lots of unpleasant experience in online money-making ventures and have become a skeptic - like I was before I joined and started working on my SFI business.

The first thing I tested was integrity - doing what you say or promise. SFI passed this test even at the minutest level of VersaPoint award for every action and response to genuine concern. A company's Integrity and Customer Service attracts or repels customers depending or its rating and verifiable evidences shows that SFI is one among the best (if not the best itself).

Why would you invest in SFI?

Consider some or all of the following options:
1. Do you really want a residual income?
2. Do you believe it works and some people are genuinely in it?
3. Are you ready to investigate the track record of company who claim to do so?
4. Are you ready to commit time and even money to earn more income or you are a get-rich quick fella?
5. If you find a REAL online business, are you ready to give what it takes to succeed in it like any other business?
6. Have you run any kind of business successfully before with evidence?

If you answer at least five of these questions in the affirmative, you will have gather enough information on SFI website to know why you should consider not only investing in SFI but convincing others to do same.

But if you are still skeptical and you joined for a trial, your account will end up like one of those dormant PSAs or CSAs who have become dead horses being flogged daily by their sponsors and co-sponsors.

Yes. It is worth it.

It is like having a database of customer contact for your business. It depends on how you manage them. You never can tell the type of message you will send that will appeal to them.

Remember, most people want to make money without working for it and they assume the moment they sign-up at SFI, they will have their account credited with dollars.

You need to send messages of encouragement and most importantly, your own testimonies to your CSAs.
PSAs are better to manage because sometimes they are people you already know and can easily convince on certain matters. But CSAs are like ghosts until they begin to respond to your leading.
Do not give up, someone may just decide to give it a try and send you a reply as we speak (right now).
If you stop sending them messages you will lose them forever.

Keep working on them until you achieve your purpose.

I have the same experience and none of my 27 CSAs have replied any of my messages for more that 2 weeks now but two of my PSAs are already active and responding. Be consistent. It may be slow but if it is steady, the race will be won.

Both options are OK depending on what interests you more. I bid on Pricebenders more and sometimes play Eager Zebra.
Doing this, I achieve points and make progress both ways. You should not ignore any option in SFI because they are all designed to help you achieve success.
Start with the ones that interests you but learn others too and use them to your advantage.
Your SFI Business will grow gradually. It is good that you agree is a business.
