If they ask me what I do for a living, I start out by telling them I'm self-employed and work in the online marketing industry. If they want to know more, I then explain that I'm an independent representative for an e-commerce company, and briefly mention the range of products at TripleClicks and Price Benders auctions. If they are still interested, I start to go into more depth about the SFI business and how it works. I never try to encourage them to join. If they are interested enough, they will move on the the next questions: "How did you get into it? Could I do it too?" The best prospects are the ones who have sold the business to themselves!
If someone is looking over my shoulder while I'm on TripleClicks or in the SFI back office, and asks me what I'm doing, I generally say something like, "Making money," or, "Trying to get this iPad really cheap." If they're interested, it leads to the same kind of conversation as I might have with someone who asks me what I do for a living.
If someone starts to show an interest in SFI, I don't believe there's any point in trying to "sell" them the opportunity. They're already starting to sell it to themselves. All you have to do is provide information in a positive manner and let them make their own decision.
