It can be quite an arduous task convincing someone to join a business. Many people are incredibly skeptical about money-making opportunities, especially the ones that are found online. I,personally, have come across a lot of schemes that have the word "FREE" printed across their homepage and then when you click "Join", it says "Free 1-Month Trial" or "Free 1-Week Trial" and asks for your credit card information. That can be extremely frustrating. Let all your potential affiliates know that they truly do not have to pay anything to start and that if they choose to use free marketing methods, they don't have to pay at all. It will be their business and their decision whenever they see fit to reinvest any money in their business later. Tell them to just sign up & that whenever they are asked for any money they may quit. Of course they won't need to quit when they see that they are not being charged or asked for their credit card number. Also, make them aware of the least expensive strategies for making it to EA and beyond each month, as well as referring others to SFI and TripleClicks.You may even want to offer them a free TC GiftCard as an incentive.

Let me answer that question with a quote from Thomas J. Watson, Sr.; "Would you like me to give you a formula for...success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all...You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side of failure!"

Also, according to The 10 Lessons in Life, a lesson repeats itself over and over again until we have learned from it. Then we level up!

It should be clear though that SFI is a legitimate internet business as what can be verified from Google itself. It will not be the get-rich-quick scheme that many will want it to be but with the proper handling it will deliver as promised. Happy duplicating and selling!

Hi Natasa
Some people you will never convince but, if they are here they obviously had a reason to join. You need to:

+ Identify why they joined and then show them how they can achieve it through SFI

+ Setting an example yourself is the best way to convince others.

+ Keep in contact with people who join your team, even if they are not signing in.

+ Ensure they understand from your welcome message that SFI has been around for a long time and has only ever improved since it began

+ Send them to the compensation plan so they understand where they will earn from the SFI business - https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

+ Show the what others are saying about SFI - https://www.sfimg.com/saying.html

I hope this helps

Best Greetings to you, Natasa
Ironically those who are worthy to recruit and sponsor into SFI are the easiest to convince after they have had previous negative experiences with online marketing.
We know that the majority of today’s online businesses are questionable, not properly planned, and not correctly designed. Most of them are hasty attempts to enroll people with the highest fees payable either upfront or very shortly after.
Hence, this situation offers two major advantages working for us.
(i) The serious prospect is still looking for a viable business opportunity
(ii) SFI has a Proven Track Record and Long History of Uninterrupted Success

I. Those with Marketing Experience are among the Best Prospects
A. The serious prospect has the right frame of mind
Most online marketing prospects have been burnt by scams, Ponzi schemes and flight by night wannabe businesses that left them with a sour experience. Or they have heard of stories of that nature.
But they have remained cautious and optimistic while searching for a viable alternative. They may even be working on developing their own products with the view of launching their own affiliate marketing program.
They are fully aware of the potential risks
They know that there is no true overnight success and or viable get-rich quick schemes
They know that success requires hard work
B. It is not productive to waste time with negative people
In our recruiting efforts, we will come across people who will see the glass always half empty at best.
Our attempts to recruit them will be met with renewed objections.
They will spend their energy trying to find faults with what we say.
The most appropriate way to handle those is to take away the opportunity from them and make them responsible of their own choices.
We can conclude our interview with them with such following sentences:
“Only those who have a positive attitude will succeed in what they undertake
Everybody is accountable of their choices and decisions…
SFI is not in need of negative people… :
After that, if they choose to join, it will be by their own will and will likely change to a positive approach and attitude.
That is where we want them: “to take full advantage of SFI’s great opportunity”.
II. SFI has a Long Track Record of Success to Attract Any Serious Prospect
Detailed and independently verifiable information is available on SFI’s parent company, Carson Services Inc.
The following characteristics leave no room for doubts on SFI’s legitimacy and viability.
1. There is no ground for scams and fraud with SFI as there are no entry fees, and/or obligations to buy anything.
2. Any investment an affiliate chooses to make is on his own decision with no pressure from anybody, either SFI corporate or Upline.
3. State and Federal regulatory agencies would not let a fraud ridden business to last such a long time
4. Fraud cannot survive over 15 years of continued success.
5. Over 2.460 Million affiliates in 203 countries, worldwide would not join SFI if there was the slightest doubt about it legitimacy and the soundness of it business model. Very likely this number will exceed 3 million affiliates by the end of 20014.
6. We all are fully aware that most Multi-Level Marketing organizations (MLM) barely make it past few months.
7. Continued meeting of the BBB Accreditation is a stamp of honesty and integrity that no scam and fraud schemes can keep up.
A long list of other SFI facts and numbers are readily available to convince any open minded prospect who is genuinely looking for a viable opportunity to earn a decent living online.
Again, we as affiliates and team leaders should focus on the quality of our recruits and less on quantity.
There no point in bringing in a large number of recruits that will stay inactive. It is far better to sponsor few highly active affiliates that will go on to duplicate our efforts.
This is the foundation of our success

Thanks for this questions:
Convincing people to join SFI is not simply as its sounds, this have a relationship with them, based on trust and respect.

If you are the person that has the trust and respect of a group of like minded people who are all basically working towards the same thing, then you can suggest that they join you in a certain opportunity and most likely they will.

This is not about SFI,and how ood of a product or compensations plan they have

This is not about how big or how charismatic you are or not

This is not about how many meetings you attended or how well you know SFI Products

Its all about relationship with the people that you are prospecting, Take an account to have a relationship with a group of people that are looking up to you and trusting you in what you tell them. A group of people that are looking for basically the same answers, and you’ll be able to give them those answer over time. A group of people that respects you and would love to join SFI.

You need to be a person that attracts people from all over the world to our knowledge and expertise, and they will be the ones that will literally jump to be your downline.
So don’t seek to convince people to join SFI, but rather seek to convince people that you have some of the answer to the problem they have, and they will want to work with you.

Best Rgds,

Hello Natasha Bogdanovic
In fact there is no need to convince any body, just tell them you had already had bad experiences, just try SFI too. Its free to join. No need to upgrade till you are confident to proceed furthur
The bad experiences come from
1. Scam website
2. Get rich quick schemes
3. Most of the matrix websites
4. Most of the cycler websites.
5. There may be some PTC websites too.
6. Also some of the highly promising big profits advertising websites
7. Most of the New Launched websites etc.
Reliability of a website is checked by the duration it has been on the Internet. SFI has been since 1988. They started with just one product. Now there are thousands if not millions of products sold by them online

There is a tremendous potential for those who will apply themselves, but it's not going to happen overnight or without work. Focusing is required. Hard work in the form of reading and understanding SFI is required. Basic knowledge of computer is necessary, you can’t spoon feed all your affililiates.

You must tell them that if they are not willing to give SFI at least one year, they should not join it. They should understand that it takes time to know every thing about a business. They need to know what products are there with SFI and how to market them

Give them example of Gery himself who said, “"My success as a entrepreneur and business leader is widely known today. Yet what most people don’t know is that I LOST money my first two years. I only broke even in my third year. And it was only when I got to my fourth year did I finally start seeing profits. Oh, how I wish someone had invented an SFI for me back in the mid-80's when I was starting out! ; - )
Robert Blackman now earns as much as $85,000 per month. Yet it took Robert two years to see his first four-figure check ($1,000 or more), and it took him five years to see his first five-figure check ($10,000 or more).
Charles Leslie’s monthly income exceeds $12,000 a month. It took Charles five months to see his first $1,000 check, and three and a half years to see his first $10,000 check.
Tracy Dieterich earns $36,000+ monthly. But it took six months to hit that first $1,000, and a year to get to $10,000.
Dale Calvert makes so much more than $100,000 a year that he won’t even divulge the amount. Yet Dale worked four months before seeing that first four-figure commission check...and two full years before hitting five figures.

You can be one like them, if you work like them. There is no need to convince more than this, They should research them self about SFI after joining it FREE ?

Success to all of you

This is a great question and very relevant for recruitment of new team members.
My response to this question is that you need to be able to differentiate SFI business from all the other Network Marketing scams out there. I would also turn their negative experience so far into a positive, by telling them that their previous bad experience with online businesses is actually of great benefit to both them and your entire Team. Having any previous online experience either good or bad is a positive, because when they start with SFI they will immediately see the difference. Inspire them to give it a try for one month to see the difference. Tell then about SFIs history, the free online training, the support network, live chat, the forum, free ECA pages. most importantly tell them about all the different ways within the programme that you can produce an income stream.
I hope this helps you, wishing you every success.

While I can understand people being leery after getting scammed and even after simply failing in a good opportunity I spend little time focused on their past.

I ask them if they think a bad day yesterday means more bad days ahead? The answer is typically no.

I ask them do you think people in general are bad and want to take advantage of you? Again they tend to say no.

I ask them if they believe there are some legit companies out there that people are making money with? A few say no but most concede that they do still have high hopes even if they are a bit gun shy.

I ask them if I can share some details about a company with a 16 year track record that is part of a larger company with 28 years in network marketing and has been a Bronze member of the Better Business Bureau for 14 years. Most will say yes some will need a different date or time, and some will say not at this time. I focus on the yes crowd.

I will start by telling them the following:

In every business that is solid and successful you must have a product physical or virtual that is highly sought after, preferably consumable, and fairly priced. The last piece of the puzzle is where many MLM and Network Marketing companies lose people because those big, fancy, and often confusing pay plans take a lot of money to run. If a company focuses too much on the pay plan the product is no longer a value at it's price and the company will eventually face legal issues.

This is way so many network marketing and MLM companies fail. They get so focused on binary commissions and diamond bonus overrides that the product becomes so expensive that the only people buying in are the ones who are blinded by the pay plan and the fancy words of their sponsor. Once a sales business becomes more about the money than it is about product sales and you have to pay to play you suddenly have a Pyramid Scheme also called Ponzi scam or HYIP (High Yield Investment Pool) and the feds will shut you down.

With SFI our ECA's and our company store offer over 100,000 different products that are in demand, often consumable, and fairly priced. The pricing is comparable on many items to prices on major e-commerce sites like Best Buy, Etsy, E-bay, and Amazon but each offers a commission for generating sales.

With SFI you are never required to buy anything in order to earn money. You can even become a Platinum Team Leader without ever spending a dime if you are prepared to focus on product sales, and recruiting and willing to work hard to gain realistic rewards.

The major SFI difference is this.

SFI does not offer a get rich quick plan. They have some of the best training online today and it's all 100% free to access, but not one page will tell you in 30 days you'll be making $30,000 because unless you have tens of thousands of dollars or thousands of e-mail subscribers sure to follow you in from day one those things are realistically not going to happen in any business, especially not on focused on offering legal and ethical products at regular retail prices through an online e-commerce network store.

What you can be sure of is that hard work is always compensated, and you can choose the business you would like to run.

If you like affiliate programs you can focus on product blogging and pitch your choice of over 100,000 products and growing.

If you prefer B2B sales then promoting our E-commerce Associate (ECA) program is virtually perfect for your style of marketing. Add in a few offers like the one I saw from an ECA who offers secure 3rd party back-ups for servers and few wholesale case lot offers and you can build a strong business to business success story.

If you are more geared towards networking and are willing to learn a proven system that generates 6 figure earners and teach it to your team you can focus on building a sales force in the thousands to handle a large share of the sales for you.

I mentioned that there is never any cost to achieve these things and in all of this list I didn't tell you once to buy anything. I didn't tell you that you would earn residual commissions off a membership because the closest thing we have to that is the ability for customers to choose the products they use every month like vitamins, and nutrition supplements, food items, and other consumable on a standing order so it auto bills them and ships these items month after month hassle free. And it's not mandatory, and you don't have to focus on selling people on some pricey auto-ship.

I could tell you so much more like about our Penny Auctions, and online games where people can win virtual currency used to bid in auctions or directly purchase anything on the site, but my best suggestion is to sign up today, it's free and you are under no obligation. Click Start and watch the welcome video, follow that with the overview of our simple SFI Basics and then every day for the next 30 days do one of the Launchpad lessons.

By the time you are done you will understand our system. If you don't you can contact me anytime and we will resolve your issues together. If by the end of 30 days of training you are not fired up and convinced of how much potential SFI holds for your family you can choose to opt out, or let your account rest for up to 1 year while you explore other options. My bet is we can tailor a business you will be proud to run to your lifestyle and budget.

Thanks for your time, here is a fact sheet including my URL to sign up for SFI and my e-mail address and phone number in case you have any questions.

I personally don't think you have to convince anyone about SFI. But I will say this If they are tired of having to listen to a video that asks for money up front for their program, then SFI might be interesting to them.

If they are sick of hearing how you can make huge amounts of money while you sleep, only to find out that they have to give up a lot of money for a program that is not guaranteed. (Read the disclaimers). Then SFI might be for them.

If they want to test drive a business for as long as they want without having to spending a dime, and get free extensive training then SFI might be for them.

I think they might think that it is too good to be true, but real testimonies from real people seem to be pretty convincing.
