This is a question of how to present SFI before people, who have negative experience with online businesses. With this kind of people, they’ll get turn off easily because of their negative experience. Consider your approach carefully when presenting SFI before them. In my opinion, I won’t even talk to them about the online business, I will just follow through the topic of conversation, when talking to them and if circumstances presents in that situation, here’s what I’ll do:

I’ll

I was that reluctant person. I have tried so many different online and offline home businesses in the last 20 years. My friend that introduced me to SFI had a really hard time convincing to join. I finally looked into SFI because she was politely persistent.

She knew I was going to be a hard sell, but she kept at it. Over the course of 6 months this is what she did. Once or twice a month she would tell me about her business and how things were going. In amongst the conversation, she always

It is important to present the facts about SFI regarding its structure and possibilities. We should never "sugar coat" this opportunity with any kind of promises. The truth is that many people who explore SFI will always be skeptical especially if they have already had bad experiences with previous online businesses.

Here are some of the aspects to highlight that may help individuals see past their skepticism:

1. SFI is free to join with free training - Be very careful

There are many scams on the internet, and many good people get burned by choosing the one(s) that offer a quick fortune. It is important to stress to every we candidate that SFI is a real business, not a Get Rich Quick scheme. As such, it takes some time and effort to build the business, but because so much of the essential ground work has been done for them, they can begin to make money much faster than other systems, IF THEY ARE WILLING TO CONSISTENTLY APPLY EFFORT. This business is FUN, and easy

Well I would say that although convincing someone with some previous nasty experiences or exposure to other online businesses would not be a easy thing but we can always to our part by doing the following to show our sincerity on the part of giving SFI business a shot :
Pass them a TC Gift card and or a grow a second income X card and show them your SFI Payooner card which to me has been a fabulous sponsoring tool where it shows that we put our money where our mouth is .
And. Not

I personally dont try to 'convince' anyone to try SFI.

Sure, I bring the subject of SFI up and tell them briefly about my business with SFI. I try to do this in an enthusiastic manner portraying the fact that I am very happy with SFI and firmly believe that it is my vehicle for financial success.

I suggest to them they they should have a look at it and if they are interested, they should join SFI. Whatever bad experience they've had with online business, they should put that

Hello Natasha. I believe this to be a good and very relevant question.

I think you have to explain to anybody that you are trying to encourage to join SFI that they are joining a real business. There is no room for the get rich brigade here.

You are not going to be offering them something for nothing and if they want to succeed they will have to put some time into SFI. They can also increase their revenue quicker by also investing some money.

Explain the figures.

First, be patient and kind, because they are gun-shy!! I was. I asked my referrer several emails full of questions before I decided to see for myself! I have tried several online businesses; they all suck you in with great promises, then drop the hammer of lots more money in order to get additional training, advertising help, etc...

That said, after you have commiserated with their bad experiences, tell them - as quickly as you can while speaking calmly, clearly and plainly, before their

I have tried other home based (MLM) businesses with no success. I compare and contrast SFI to the others that I have tried. First, I did a lot of reading about SFI and even went on the Better Business Bureau website and did a search to verify that they were indeed registered with them and checked out their rating with BBB.

I stress to them that SFI never requires affiliates to pay anything ever. I let them know that unlike other companies, affiliates do not have to purchase and sell
