"Why is it difficult to convince your PSAs and CSAs to work the business despite all its advantages?"
This is an interesting question, because it involves perception, which can be very different from person to person.
So I'm going to answer a slightly different question: "Why do so many affiliates fail to perceive SFI as a solid business opportunity?"
This shifts the focus from thinking about how to convince people, to thinking about different ways people might perceive SFI.
Here are some objections I can think of:
1. "Don't have time." Some people are simply too busy to get over the initial learning curve.
2. "Too complicated." There are many aspects to building an SFI revenue stream. Some people may not be up to it.
3. "Takes too long to make money." People have different ideas of what it should take to make money in the real world.
4. "Too much selling." Many are uncomfortable with the whole idea of sales, period. It's a deal-killer.
5. "Network marketing is a scam." Let's face it, there is a LOT of skepticism out there.
6. "Too expensive." For many people, a standing order simply costs too much.
Depending on how they are recruited, many new affiliates won't find out about these issues until after they join. In that case, there's a good chance many of them won't become movers.
So, what can we do about this? I recommend two areas of focus:
A. Prepare your answer to EVERY objection you can think of, and make the answers available to downline affiliates. You may change some perceptions. NOTE: Check the "Reason" column in your Opt-Out report for actual objections to think about (My Acct > My Reports > Opt-Outs).
B. Try to recruit better-informed PSAs, through your own online and offline promotion efforts. If those who join already have an idea of what SFI is all about, they will be more likely to become movers.
In other words, I believe it's about quality, not quantity. We can try to improve the quality of our PSAs by addressing their concerns up front.
Hope you found this helpful!
