These people are possibly starting to think and look at retirement. Some of them may have large mortgages that they are trying to service or to pay off before retirement and are possibly looking for additional sources of income. Some of them may have been laid off from work and are finding it hard to find employment.

Whatever situation they are in, this age group should be easier to attract to SFI. They are also likely to stay on and to be active affiliates.

They are also

Hi there

I am 50 and it never occurred to me that this might no be a good business for me to start with because of my age.
Your question made me think about this and I think it has nothing to do with your age - if you are 50+ and happy with the state of your finances nothing will convince you to spend time on a business you do not really need (unfortunately there are very few people that has that luxury).
Anybody of any age can benefit from SFI - if you want to improve your finances

Hello Sir,

At 50 plus i know it can be difficult to convince one to join this program. But as you are in the program , you can explain the benefits you are getting from it at a very minimal budget. You ll need to point out that it is ones own business , that can be done at ones conviniency.

One can spend as much money and time as he or she wants 30 minutes to hours to whole day. No time bound business. All at affiliates convinience. You could also tell that in a few years there

Hi Fernando

You have asked an interesting question. "What is the best way to convince someone who is over 50 that they should get started with SFI?"

First of all, ask them how prepared are they for their retirement? This will be your starting point of discussion. Outline to them what SFI stand for "Strong Future International" where people start small and grow big. Tell them that it is the best time for them to start their own business and by the time

Are you implying that 50+ is old? Because believe me my friend at 65 I am now just as active as ever in my life, but oh so much wiser.
At 50+ years of age most people are more mature and therefore more patient.
They don't expect to make money overnight and will my less impatient about building an income.
I speak for myself.
I regard SFI is my financial saviour having lost my money in a bad investment.
With each passing day I see my goals being reached and my commission, although

The traditional western way of thinking is that you work 40+ years, invest some of your income and then retire financially independent. This method of thinking is a wealth based strategy and the truth is that very few of us are achieving this lofty goal. I would suggest prospects, of all ages, consider income based independence so they can achieve personal freedom sooner than later! The idea is that they would focus on building their own internet business and creating multiple income streams. When

Tell him that the SFI give chance for :

- Improve lifestyle and standard.
- Start own business with no investment.
- Earn more money.
- Earn with computer, from your home.
- Be your own boss.
- Work at home and be with family.
- Make money 24 hours a day
And perhaps most important of all
- Early retirement with a secure income.
- 100% F R E E!
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE !

With positive thoughts into a new day ...

Hi Fernando
Age was not really important!
It is true that younger people can quickly understand the program, but from personal experience I know, the older it also can.
I started SFI when I was 59 years old, two years ago, so now I have 61 years.
Now I'm learning again and it means a lot to me. I use my free time to work with my members, I am constantly in contact with people, I'm not alone!
I meet a lot of new people from all over the world, many good people. So I see

Hi Fernando,

I do not think there is a best way to convince someone who is over 50 that they should get started with SFI, similarly like the others, they do have their own reservation and concern with the Business Opportunity you are proposing.

You might want to show example of testimonials from SFI Affiliates and Leaders who are 50 and above.

Then highlights all the reasons why SFI / TripleClicks is something they should look into and leverage on.

REMEMBER
