To get started with SFI is absolutely free. Age does not matter here.

If the person who needs to be convinced is computer literate and comfortable in internet usage then why not join SFI as a source of residual income. That person has a rich experience in dealing with life and he can use that experience to develop own business in SFI even after 50s.

If the person has previous experience in some sort of Network marketing it is a plus point for him to join SFI.

If he has not tried internet marketing there are many ways he can do marketing such as warm marketing, local recruiting, group presentations, print media etc. These methods are listed in A2A

Just show that person search engine results of people who are successful in their business after starting over 50. I just now googled it and read on a website that as per some research " Businesses started by people over 50 have a 70% chance of surviving their first five years - compared with only a 28% survival rate for those younger than them."

Just encourage him by giving such examples. As such someone said Success is a state of mind.

The problems facing the older generations these days are a) does not have enough money in their retirement funds if they have one at all, to sustain them the rest of their lives b)statistically people these days are living longer and c)in this day and age of technology there are many who are afraid or are not computer savvy. We need to approach this cautiously cause many of seniors live on a limited income and they will surely quit once they are faced with extra expenses. So, be honest with them what this business entails so they are well informed. Many of our seniors are being taken advantage of these days so you really need to be honest and sincere of your intentions.

There are a lot of online business opportunities out there so what is it about SFI?
1) I would first let them imagine being able to earn income working from home, setting their own hours,having the time to spend with families and friends
2) In presenting SFI I would point out that it's free to join. That they will have the support,the guidance, and all the tools they need to succeed. Talk to them about the Founder of this organization, his background, etc.
3) Give examples or testimonies from people of their own age who are in the business.
4) Be honest with them of what this business entails, i.e. out of pocket expenses. After all, nothing in life is free and they know that. The more honest you are the likelihood of joining is high. Talk to them about Triple Clicks. How they can purchase some of the products they normally buy on line...give examples of different ECA's (locally) they can buy from, saving money on time and gas.
5) Discuss with them the simplicities of running their SFI business, that they don't have to be computer gurus.
These are just some ideas I can think of. But, the bottom line is be honest and sincere about helping them. Why they can benefit from having their own home based business. Don't be aggressive, that will just give them a red flag of your intentions. Put yourself in their shoes.

I don't think people over 50 need convincing. At that age they are getting close to retirement and know whether they have saved enough to have the retirement lifestyle they want. Most of us haven't! We are looking for something else to supplement the pension or hopefully replace it altogether. Who wouldn't want a leveraged residual income that will allow them to be free of financial worries in their old age?

A lot of us over 50 have time on our hands or are living alone after the loss of our spouse. Having SFI to do gives us something enjoyable to focus our attention on opens the way for us to make heaps of new online friends.

Computers and the internet have been around for long enough now that most over 50s are fairly IT savvy, or at least can surf the net, navigate a webpage,send and receive email and write a Word document. That is basically the skill level required to operate an SFI business.

So if you know someone over 50 who wants to make new friends, who may be lonely or bored or too ill to continue his job, or in need of extra retirement income, then SFI is the perfect answer!

Hi Fernando,
since I'm a member of the 50+ Club,I'll try to answer your question from my point of view.
At this age the lucky ones between us still have their regular jobs and income.But,usually that income is not enough.Retirement is at least 10-15 years away and there's no quaranty that our income should grow.Once we retire it could only be smaller.And completely insufficient.So,the financial moment is very important for us.
But,that's not all.Our internet and computer skills and our english are significantly improving on a daily bases(by the way,I apologize for any mistakes).
This company impresseed me from the beginning; everyone is given an equal chance to succeed.There's no jelaousy,no envy.All affiliates here are more than willing to help one another,regardless if an affiliate asking for help is the member of their team or not.
I found so manny friends from all over the world.I often communicate with them.That way
even when I'm alone, I'm not lonely.
I don't want to offend younger members,but I think that our generation is more persistant because life taught us not to give up easily.
It may be a bit harder to convince us to join,but once we do,you can count on us.
Personally, i joined when one of my sons said:"Mom,I really need your help."And show me any mother who will not do anything for her children.So, if you need active PSAa, talk to your parents,too,as long as you're not members of the same household.
I hope you'll find this answer helpful.

This depends on the indivisdual.

1. For a person who is retired and capable of working on computers, then he/she can be shown the examples of people made money during the last two years. Also, they should be required to read article on SFI Basics and taught how to create a family and friends network to gain more and more sign ups.

2. For someone who is earning decent income but working hard to get along to live, should be shown the benefits of earning extra income and briefed on making small monthly contributions, that would result in huge profits by just spending a few hours a week.

3. And for the people who are making enough for their living should be shown how they could earn an extra income which would help them in future after retirement.

All the information in available on SFI and should be sorted out for particular groups of people as mentioned above. This will help convince over 50 and create interest in at least registration with SFI.

At nearly 64 I'm way over 50 and loving the SFI Business. I just wish I got started when I was that age. Lots of 50-year-olds are actually quite used to computers. If they have a job that is way things have been for at least 20 years.

People that age are just starting to think about retirement and wondering if they'll have enough money to last them through those long years. Not many people have great pensions and many are wondering if Old Age Security and Canada Pension (or whatever your country has), will still be there for them when they retire at 65. That's if they are lucky. The age for retirement is probably going to be at least 70 by then.

If they work hard now they can have a residual income and royalties for the rest of their lives with this business. Just show them information from the SFI site, like Launchpad, forum, and ASK SC answers. Talk to the successful people in SFI right now and get their answers.

Personally, I've been working a few hours per day in SFI for one and a half years and am a Silver Team Leader every month now. I have sponsored some ECAs and have a Store myself with a few items listed. I'm really only just getting started.

It doesn't matter what your age, gender, lifestyle, or computer skills are, anyone can make a success of this business if they just try and don't give up.

I started with SFI at age 54, after an accident left me unable to work at a conventional job. In my past career, I was a sales trainer and team developer - perfect for growing a business at SFI!

Like me, many baby boomers find themselves disabled, displaced, or financially compromised. Even if this is not the case, the spectre looms over older workers as their retirement inches closer and closer.

SFI provides the perfect answer for our demographic, as we can use our accumulated experience to grow our new business. Knowing you have additional money coming in to enhance your retirement lends peace of mind to what can otherwise be a scary time. Many retired folks have to take jobs at fast food places or other less-than-desireable positions to eke out a living for themselves and their partners. A fifteen year old SFI business could easily replace this kind of income several times over, and make retirement a joyful, productive time.

As we live longer, it is important to plan for our financial security. An ongoing business with SFI can be an exciting part of that plan - flexing our professional muscles and continuing a life of education. And, when the day comes that we no longer have to work a regular job, knowing that our financial future is secure, and our accumulated knowledge is still needed in the world, we can boldly go into the last chapters of our life, doing all the things we had no time for in the past.

I really can't help but giggle when I read this question!

You see I started SFI this year at the age of 72.

Why?

Because I wanted to keep my mind active and to take on the challenge of a new task.

What better way than online?

I was self employed for years but never tried my luck at an online business, even though I did a lot of my work online.

Personally, I never feel a person is never to old to accept a challenge or to learn something new.

No matter what it may be, push yourself to keep your brain active. As the saying goes use it or loose it.

After all if you don't take the plunge you will never know, if you can be a winner. If you want anything bad enough you can do it.

Participate in things like ASK and don't allow others to discourage you.

Go into it knowing within your heart that you will be successful.

Otherwise you will find yourself in a rocking chair, humming, reading a book watching TV. Not doing anything to stimulate your brain.

At 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90 there is always something new to learn. So go for it!!
