Hello,

Handling affiliates who expect to get rich fast:

Be very diplomatic and straight forward. Be honest and let them know that SFI is definitely not a quick rich scheme. Explain that quick rich schemes are not long lasting and there is no future in business where overnight you become rich, falling down is even easy in such schemes.

In this programme one has to be really patient and go step by step , learn as you earn, like explain to them that when planting a

You need to explain to them that there is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme.
There are those that have made a killing by being in the right place at the right time. There are also those that make large incomes on a daily basis but if they were to be honest with you they would tell you that they put in a lot of hours when they first started out and the money came in slowly at first.

Of course as their customer lists have grown so have their profits.

Anybody wanting

Truthfully, I tell new affiliates that this is not a get-rich-quick scheme or scam, that this is a long term project, that they are starting a business from scratch. As of now it has cost them zero and it will only cost them money if they choose to invest money into it to make it grow faster, but it can grow with just an investment of time and work from home. If they utilize all the information and tools that SFI gives them, they will see results in the months and years ahead and SFI is not going

Communication. Getting rich fast is a 'false myth'. Even lotteries and inheritances aren't fast money because when it's gone is gone. Let them know that 'gently' as to allow a chance for you to explain (with few words) that the only real method to getting rich is consistency of day to day hard work, effort, patience, never give up, patience, starting again every time you 'make a mistake', determination and let them know that SFI perfect for that because in doing this you will succeed at this business.

Explain in a simple and honest way that SFI is not a get-rich quick scheme. To support your answer, refer them to Day 11 of the Launchpad, which says in part:

“The fact is, anything worthwhile takes sustained effort. If that were not true, we'd all be the perfect weight, we'd all have perfect relationships, etc. It's the same thing with your own business. If you're thinking money's going to start pouring

I try to be honest with them upfront and tell them this opportunity is probably not for them if they're looking for a get rich quick scheme.
This will save you a lot of frustration on your end. You won't as big of an inactive downline.
Some people will disagree with me on this, but I don't believe this is the type of business you can talk people in to. They either want it or they don't. You can't teach things like perseverance and a drive for success. They have to have this from the beginning

This is a great and interesting question .

I think we have all met such people .
I personally tell them that any job that promises a quick profit and success is not true and real.
We know that the success and earning money must be made to work .
I tell them that SFI offers a variety of options. Since each individual depends on how much of his time and work will be invested in this work . I explain that to succeed need to go step by step. Invest their own time .
I tell

In this day and age of immediate gratification, it is hard for most people to look past a few days. I would explain to prospects and affiliates that this is an investment. And while nothing is for certain, as far as making money, I think if someone puts in the time they will be rewarded. But that is the clencher - you have to put in the time.

I feel that is why so many affiliates go inactive. They sign up hoping that SFI will bring immediate cash and riches. They're not seeing this as

Hello everyone

For prospects and affiliates expecting to get rich quickly with SFI remind them that there is no legitimate business where one can just start and get rich overnight or quickly.

Give examples of brick and mortar stores where one has to buy land then build and/or rent. That is expenditure, money going out. Buy assets for use; employ people and then order goods for resale. Find ways to sale, that is advertise. Normally in the first months or year one would be

I use a direct approach.

My first question to them is are you willing to work.
If the answer is yes then I advise the following.

1. Advise them to find products to sell as an ECA.
2. Ask them what their budget is and follow with appropriate advise in
how to proceed.
3. If there is no budget, discuss free advertising and marketing methods.

In Internet Marketing you will meet all kinds of prospects.
Your must be prepared to respond to all types
