Hello and thank you for raising this!
When we start a new job or embark on a new career of any kind, most of us start not knowing anyone. Some are fortunate enough to know one person which is usually the one who recommended you and others are very fortunate and enter into a business with a group of friends. Entering a new project is exciting and new things await you around each corner. Building relationships is a big part of marketing and newcomers will spend the majority of their time in doing this.
Plus one (+1)
Building a business is all about building relationships. The very fact that you are conversing with this person and answering their questions is proof of that. Tell them that is what you are doing right now. You are getting to know them (plus one). Building a strong team involves finding new people and showing them how SFI & TripleClicks can help them to achieve their financial goals. Some will listen and some wont. Every person is unique and will bring something different to the table. The act of building relationships with these people will enrich your experience and broaden your skills. You will learn a lot about how to approach new people by trial and error...there is no better learning experience.
So...to answer your question, I would tell them something like this:
"It is not important how many people you know because you will be building new relationships and forging new alliances as you learn how to get your message out into the internet. The internet has an abundance of people looking for opportunities. Seek them out one at a time (+1). Do something each day to get your message across better(+1). Make it your goal to talk to one new person each day(plus one). You don't have to be pushing SFI down their throats; it is enough to make one new friend either in the forums, in chat, on Facebook, Twitter, the list goes on."
I hope I have been of some help to you. Wishing all the best, my friend.
