First you need to determine if someone is merely curious about what you do or if this is a conversation about owning a business.
"SFI is a marketing group which entrepreneurs join to build an online business. I am a team leader, mentor and business owner."
If the asker is merely curious, that answer will suffice, but it MAY spark a thought that they could do it as well. Be ready share your gateway and get their contact information if their curiosity is aroused.
If this a discussion about business ownership, you are sure to get more questions. A lot of people have an entrepreurial streak, but may not have considered an online business as viable. You might mention that "like a franchise, SFI is a turnkey system which provides a training system, marketing aids and websites to act as storefronts for your business." "UNLIKE a franchise, you can start SFI free. If you have no budget to build a business with you can grow this business albeit slowly. With a modest income available, you can steadily grow it in a few months."
If they become become dismissive, argumentative or challenging about SFI, just say "hey, this is not for everybody". Then change the subject. I'd venture to say 90% of the time, that person will continue to think about what you told them and will eventually ask you about it again at another time.
