Hi Robert,
Your question; "How do you motivate your downline to spend money monthly to maintain EA status without sounding greedy?"
If we are greedy we will come across as being greedy.
It is not easy to hide this fact as your focus will be only on how to get more. You have to just be honest from the beginning. I think if we change our focus from making more, to helping more we will not seem greedy, why try convincing one we are not greedy? is my question.
This attempt takes us away from the reality of the business concept entirely. No one joins SFI to convince anyone they are not greedy. Most join because they finally found something they truely believe in enough to share with others.
Once we have ourselves convinced we have discovered a way to earn income from home online we have a true story to share. Just stating the facts about SFI, and asking the right questions from the start will tend to lead us to those we prefer.
I think by taking the time to develop a relationship is the best approach to enrolling new persons. This will give us the opportunity to share at some point in our conversations.
I prefer the direct approach in a timely manner.
Something like:
I'm earning an income online and have not had to invest any money before I joined.
I started earning income within 2 months, and was surprised to see my earnings begin to grow, and I had not sold any product, or asked to spend any money at all.
Now that I realize income can be earned online without investing anything but time, it is a good feeling knowing I can earn more if I invested more.
I do not mention anything about points or credits when sharing one on one unless they ask how did I get paid.
This is when I let them know if they are not seriously interested there is no need to go over it, but the SFI company does a very good job explaining the business to those who join and many are successful business owners.
I just made up my mind to treat this just like it would be if I was working a traditional job putting in 8 hours for someone else. I sometimes put in well over 8 hours a day, but this is my choice, and I also enjoy what I'm doing.
After sharing passion for doing this business, this may open up another door, if not, let it go. If the answer is a "Yes!"
I put the right questions:
Are you really seriously interested in earning income from home?
If so; "Do you have 4 to 8 hours to spend online while learning how promoting products and gain customers?
Usually those 2 questions will help weed out those we do not desire.
We will waste more time, and wander off focus if we attempt to prove what is not in existence.
What we want is seriously determined individuals who display a real interested trait.
Just keeping our focus on building stronger teams will be sufficient.
Thank you for allowing me to share.
