In order to convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses you need to let them know that:

1. SFI is free to join. There is no start-up cost so even if they decide that they do not want to be a part of it at a later date, there is no money to lose.

2. There are free training materials available, so even if you have never been a part of the business world the free training materials will guide you to be a very good entrepreneur.

3. There is a whole network of affiliates who are there to assist you in becoming successful.

4. SFI is the most successful online business with over sixteen years in online marketing.

5. There are various streams of income in SFI. There is not only one way to earn.

6. SFI has penny auctions which you can participate in and win items for a small fraction of the cost.

7. You can purchase items which you need on a monthly basis from SFI. There are a wide range of items on sale at the Tripleclicks store.

These are some things which will convince a new prospect to try SFI.

I must tell you that I have had more than my share of bad experiences with online opportunities and can relate to your question. I would go so far as to say that if you named five online businesses, you could find my name on their member's list of at least one of them if not more. It's really tough out here and you only learn by trying and hopefully you get one that pays off.

The one that did it for me didn't last very long and was structured very similar to SFI but was missing the extensive training capabilities, computer support, TripleClicks, the long term reputation and many other business enhancement features. I saw all this when I signed up and decided that SFI is the "Cream Of The Crop" for building a business from the ground up. If you can't make it at SFI, I know of no other opportunities that can offer you more. Having this mind-set is your first step in giving your all to building a great and profitable business at SFI.

Even without bad experiences, there are many out there that are skeptical, undecided, testing the water or just curious enough to see what is being offered. All these people and including the bad experienced ones, is our major problem we all face working with our downline in trying to build a working SFI team. To overcome this the only answer I know is "don't give up"!!

One must keep trying to reach each individual in some way that will show them the way to success. I'm trying out 20 questions in my weekly emails in hopes that it will get someone's attention in my downline. It's just like advertising, if you don't get your info to the right person, at the right place and at the right time that opportunity is lost.

Like me, you can send out weekly emails for months and receive no responses because the time wasn't right, the place wasn't right or the people were not ready for what you were trying to convey. You have to believe that sooner or later you will get all those times right and you will reach someone out there wanting to go to work.

Knowing that the odds are against us in our advertising, reaching our downline and dealing with the bad experiences ( I'm sure most of us can relate to this ) will help to enable us to do whatever is required to continue to move our teams forward for success.

Good luck to you and your success at SFI

People in this situation will think you've been scammed or conned and will undoubtedly accuse SFI of being a pyramid company. I hear it frequently.

My advice is to take it slowly and cautiously and don't try to convince anyone to try SFI. When you are making some money, you can say something casually alluding to your extra income and respond to a person's interested questions.

A great opportunity to share and arouse genuine interest and excitement is there when you have won something really good for a phenomenal bargain on Pricebenders. When you can show a mobile phone or Ipod or something that they would like themselves and say you got it for $4 or some crazy price, playing Pricebenders auctions at your TripleClicks store, they will take notice and show interest.

Bit by bit as they see your enthusiasm they will begin to ask you questions and then you can lay the whole thing out before them. Don't go beyond what they're asking.

Also if you find a product in TripleClicks that you know is of particular interest to one of these people, just pop them a short email telling him briefly what you found. Ask if he's interested in having a look at it and would he like you to send him the link. Give him the chance to say "yes, please". If you just send the link without being invited, he'll probably just delete the email without even getting back to you about it.

I think this low-key strategy is best in these situations when people have been turned off by previous bad experiences.

If anyone has had pretty bad experiences on the internet, you will have to be very tactful to be able to convince them to try SFI. Start by admitting to the fellow that the internet world or cyberspace is full of good businesses and bad businesses. That there are also plenty of scams masquerading as businesses on the internet. Remind the fellow that as the saying goes, you do understand that “once bitten, twice shy.” Assert firmly that inspite of the abundance of scams, there are still very legitimate, good and profitable businesses online foremost of which is SFI. Real out the following facts about SFI to support your arguments:

-You can participate in SFI free for as long as you want, with no obligation.
- It is in its 16th successful year as an online business.
- It is a 14-year Bronze member of American Better Business Bureau.
- It has over 1.5 million real time affiliates.
- It has over 2.4 million TripleClicks members.
- It has 118,000+ commissionable products.
- It has 7,072 E-Commerce Affiliates (in 166 countries).
- It has 230 LocalPay Merchants (in 52 countries).
- It has 1,694 - TripleClicks.com's global popularity rank (source: Alexa.com)
- It has paid out millions in commissions (in US Dollars) to its affiliates over the years.

That done, I have no doubt that the fellow you are talking to will start to nurse some positive thoughts about SFI. That to my mind is a very good pep talk and I believe it will work to convince even skeptic.

Good luck!!!!

1. SFI is a member of the Better Business Bureau which gives it international credibility
2. It has a sound track record of more than a decade in business on the Internet
3. SFI does not promise and specifically discourages an attitude of get rich quick. See Launchpad Lesson # 11 "Overnight Success...Not"!
4. There is 24/7 support for all affiliates irrespective of your rank
5. There is extensive free training available which is easy to understand and implement irrespective of your standard of education
6. Everyone can succeed in SFI and we have examples of members with special ability doing so
7. It is free to join and free to leave
8. It is the only company of its kind that pays out over 60% of revenues back in commissions
9. What you work for is what you get. Full stop.

11. Learn from the bad experience and start afresh with this incredible one of a kind company.

Hope this helps

Give your own substantiated proof that SFI is different. There are many ways in which this can be done.

You can point out ‘SFI BY THE NUMBERS’ to them. Highlight each of the 9 points and be careful to give the latest statistics and make a comparison to figures that were recorded before. This would help them to recognize that SFI is a moving organization.

The training materials and resources that are provided and that are easily accessible to all affiliates are up-to-date and relevant to our business. The training is of a very high standard and you can get this wealth of information without cost to you. Once the rules are followed and the tools are applied success can be easily attained. .

Boast about our support system. Affiliates are never left to wander in security. Programs such as a2a, Forum and ASK SC are geared to support those in doubt or who need additional confirmation on any topic.

Add your own experiences and that of your PSAs to show how secure our compensation plans work and how easy it is to build great financial future. I use my cancelled cheques to show that this is not a figment of anyone’s imagination

Trying to convince someone of anything may be an almost impossible task. I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but you will probably just get yourself more frustrated than if you just left them alone and moved on.

However, providing them with accurate information about SFI, and some testimonials from yourself, your sponsor maybe, or perhaps your upline would be a good start at showing someone how good this program is.

Also, SFI has a proven track record since 1998, and it is one of the few programs out there that let you join for free and see the entire program before you spend of invest any money.

I would suggest that in those situations where someone is extremely skeptical, emphasise the free aspect of joining up and looking around the entire site. They have nothing to lose, and all the time in the world to research it for themselves.

We communicate and share the following points through writing regular mails, personal blogs, audio-visual clips, online chats/ conversations and skype.
1. Sharing with them some evidences, testimonies and successful examples: Affiliates have some fear and they are reluctant and skeptical because of their bad experience in other online businesses. They try to participate in many to find a genuine and real one so we have some affiliate returning back later when they realize that SFI is the perfect business they are looking for. We encourage them to ask and share their feelings and doubts regarding SFI. We have to make effort to share the real evidences from SFI like calculating one’s approximate earning with earning calculator, the compensation plan and benefit chart . We let them read some of the best testimonies and real stories shared by the senior, successful SFI leaders. For example, I am very much motivated and inspired by awesome leaders like Sir Gery Carson(president and founder of SFI), Mr. Eric Miller, Mr. Boris Jovanovic, Mr. Bing Obaldo and Jacqueline Granger.
2. Showing and giving them our own example: I feel that sharing our own examples with our affiliates benefits them in understanding more about the business. Real and honest sharing either good or bad from the sponsors may be welcomed. The sponsor has to be a role model for his or her down line. He or she cannot expect more from his or her affiliates than his expectations from himself. In fact they always look at their sponsor’s progress before they really put their heart and soul in it.
3. Telling them not to quit before they really understand SFI and make proper decision: Many affiliates get confused and overwhelmed as they read the basics, launchpad lessons and complete the daily actions. We need to take utmost care to attend quickly to our new affiliates, encourage them to read little by little with their own pace. We need to tell them not to quit before they really understand SFI and make proper decision. As one of my affiliate had opted out and wrote to me later regretting about his opting out.
4. Explaining them the advantages and multi benefits of SFI over other online businesses: To make them try SFI we need to make them understand the advantages and real benefits that SFI provides to all its affiliates. Explain them that probably SFI is the only online business where anybody can join with no investment at all and without any prerequisite qualification and experience. Any body can learn and earn at the same time at free of cost with all the necessary training provided for free.
5. Letting the affiliate participate in the SFI forum: A very good source of motivation, inspiration and support that I got from is the SFI forum. I consider SFI news and the forum is my best learning center. We need to encourage and make the new affiliates participate and read the forum posts. As they gain the experience they raise their doubts and problems on the forum where it will be addressed and answered by many experienced SFI leaders. They also read very good testimonies submitted by many experienced affiliates at the forum.
