Especially for shy beginners, the close relationship they enjoy with family and friends may make it easier to promote SFI with them. Surely if you have a WAVE3 sticker on your car or wear SFI/TRIPLECLICKS Clothing, it will spark questions from curious family members and friends, opening the way for you to promote your business.
But, it is important to remember that easier is not necessarily better. For sure, among family and friends aside from the curious, there will be the scoffers, and the wary. And, there will be those who out of respect will just stare ahead waiting for you to finish – zero interest!
The responses from those close to us can vary widely. To a large extent our success in marketing our business to our family and friends is dependent on 2 factors –
1) How each individual views you - Are you viewed as someone sound in judgment with a “good business head” or gullible?
2) The present goals and financial situation of that person - If earning extra money for whatever reason is important right now, it may supply the drive for them to commit.
On the other hand, since they don’t know you, strangers will assess the worth of your presentation by its content and of course their own interests and needs at the time.
For example, the WAVE3 sticker on your car and a brief explanation may do the trick. Just be sure to have a few X-cards (with your gateway link added) on you to hand out. Additionally, ask for the person’s email address to supply more information. That gives you more time to choose the right approach for that individual and gives the individual more time to review the information you provide. (This method has worked for me.)
Furthermore if you advertise on Safe lists, Traffic Exchange sites, your use your own Website or Blog for example, you can promote your business successfully without having to talk to, or see anyone face to face! You’ll just need to make your ads and data attractive and appealing to the mind and eye. The anxiety to explain it just right with a curious yet critical family member, friend or stranger looking straight at you, is out the window!
So, since the success rate is quite low with either group, rather than singling out a particular group, I think it is better to promote your SFI business to family, friends AND strangers.
You never know where you’ll have success!!
