Hi Alvin,
This is a great question. I hope that my answer will shed some insight.
As I pondered what you are asking, I broke your question down into multiple parts. First, is how do I attract only serious affiliates? Second, what do I tell them about the SFI opportunity? And finally, once they are part of my team, what can I do to ensure that they remain serious?
So, how do you ensure that you are only attracting serious affiliates? To attract any kind of affiliate always starts with advertising. The sites you choose to advertise on and the wording of your advertising is usually what allows you to separate the tire kickers from the go getters. One such advertisement could read something like "Seeking 5 to 7 serious business partners! Are you a natural leader? Do you enjoy the challenge of recruiting, training and leading a strong, dynamic team? Do you have at least 20 to 30 hours per week that you can dedicate to developing your business? Do you have and are willing to invest at least $50 to $100 per month into the development of your business? If so, contact me right now at ......."
You will note that I purposely did not specify SFI as a free to join opportunity. This is for two reasons. First, a business partner that has and is willing to invest monetarily into their business is likely to be more serious and active as they are investing more than just their time. Second, you want them to be examples to their team and if you want you entire team to set up standing orders, then that example needs to be set by you and your team leaders.
Ok, so now that you have their attention, what can you tell them to determine if they will be serious about SFI? Be honest. Highlight key features and benefits of the SFI opportunity, hitting on points such as SFI's strong 17 year track record and the fact that SFI is a global opportunity. It would also be good to explain SFI's compensation plan as any serious affiliate is naturally going to want to know how they are going to make money.
So now you have recruited your 5 to 7 diamond team leaders, what can you do to ensure that they stay active with SFI and become the team leaders to recruited them to be? It really just boils down to one word - communicate. Make sure you immediately welcome them to your SFI team when they join. Let them know that they can always contact you with any questions they might have. Be proactive in offering assistance as well by letting them know about the best sites you have found to advertise on, set up advertising co-ops, keep them up to date on changes to the SFI program... in essence, lead by example. Be the kind of leader you want them to become.
I truly hope this helps. To our mutual success!
