Building a team means dealing with human resources and you are looking for quality affiliates instead of quantity. There is a general belief within the SFI fraternity that you should advertise for 100s or 1000s of affiliates before you will come across 1 or 2 active affiliates. This requires capital and many people who come to SFI do so in the hope that they will earn money.
A lot of affiliates have difficulty with the cash investment whether this is a standing order or advertising and it is advisable therefore to focus on alternative methods of building a team. This is not limited to but can include:
1. Having small groups of people you know, friends and family - are a great start to present your SFI business and this does not require much investment. An evening of coffee in an informal environment starts off your quest for that "dream" team.
2. If you are creative enough, it is useful to participate in fairs where you are able to share space with another participant to talk about your business; you can design your own charts and posters for such events without spending a lot.
3. You must have a list of contact emails of people you have known in the past either through your work or other friends and use this database to start up a conversation; it is likely to create an interest.
You can always try out your own tactics and see which ones work the best. It is a question of spreading your interest where others fear to venture and find out whether which ones of your advertising incentives are bringing in active sign ups.
