I think the best incentive to offer prospects is support.

Tell them about all the support they will receive from you AND from all the other sources of support
that is available when they join SFI.

1. Support from you by your role as team leader. You will be there for guidance and advice for them
when the need it and because you will be sending weekly team mailings and streams. Your contact info
and availability and willingness to communicate.

2. Recognition for their achievements from not only SFI admin like badges, prizes, commissions but also
by you - let them know the kind of support they will get from you.

3. Support via forum, ask sc, free training, articles, reviews if they have products to sell. Also, a2a support system.

These offerings of support they will get might be a better place to start before giving something physical that costs
you money. Advise how they will not have to figure out things on their own.

Save spending money on them until they are active and wait until you know if they are workers.

The only exception to this rule would be a promise for future reward for achieving team leader rank and for keeping
that rank for set number of months by you. You could promise free psa's that you will give for free for reaching such
a set goal as holding rank for set amount of time by you.

Hello George E McCallum Jr.

Let me first of all say frankly, the person who need to earn a second income or rather just an income from the cozy corner of their home requires no incentive.
He is most probably a self motivated person. For example yesterday some PSA from Canada joined me and before I could open my computer to log in to my SFI account, he was already an EA.

My experience shows when you offer incentive to join your business, they would definitely doubt your business thinking why this person is giving incentive to join. That means no one must be joining this person and his business.

Therefore, in my opinion, no one should be offered an incentive to join your team. As it is SFI is not a “Get-Rich –Quick” scheme. Even if you offer a Gift Card & some Tcredits before they have joined. Most likely they won’t understand the advantages of these incentives.

Explain your prospects that SFI is free to join online business and provided complete training free how to run a business.
Instead. You could explain the facts about SFI & TripleClicks such as:
1, SFI is a 15 years old business and is in its 16th year now.
2. People from 150 countries are its affiliates.
3. On a daily basis an average of 4000 plus affiliates join SFI from all over the world.
4. SFI is a Bronze Member of “Better Business Bureau”.
5. TripleClicks is a online store like eBay. Amazon etc.
6. Its sells more than a million digital & physical products directly or through its ECAs (E-Commerce Associates).
7. It provides you 45% commissions on Direct Sales of your Personally Sponsored Affiliates.
8. Also it provides you 15% commissions on sales generated by your Co-sponsored Affiliates .
9. Finally tell them its not a “Get-Rich-Quick” Scheme and it will take time before a substantial income starts pouring in.

Cheers & Have fun with SFI

This days its hard to make people believe in any online businesses,most especially people that knows you very well, IE people that are closer to you,may be when you joined,and you invited them,they will be saying all sought of things like,i don't want to invest on somebody's business or i will not join you unless i see something good coming your way from it,so in my own opinion,neglect those ones,and advertise to people that doesn't know you very well,there is much respect than when you are telling your close friends,unless its a friend that believes in what you do,and the zeal in which you do what you always do,and to make people believe in you and join you,let there be a proven example that really shows that you are succeeding in this business,proves can be in different ways like

1. showing them what you won on price-benders Auctions physically not only on pictures.

2. if you have a successful affiliates or CSA's is a good example to convince them.

3. it may not be advisable to show them your scoreboard,but to me its a kind of great example that really shows you are making money,not just by mouth but with example.

4. if you have received your pay-owner debit card,its also a good move that can drive the zeal of any affiliate that want to join you,without looking back,he or she will believe that its not a joke.

5. your movers can also help in your advertisement,that shows that its not all about you,but you also have active affiliate that generates income for you.

6. finally if you have a good number of CSA'S or PSA'S in your genealogy its an added advantage to convince somebody to join you.Thanks

I usually offer Gift Cards, to encourage others to join SFI. Often, I even enter the auctions, and if lucky enough to win, always talk about the price you paid for the items you won. This encourages others to want to check it out, also.

If you do not win often, buy items you enjoy...and always show people quality merchandise at low prices.

Wear SFI outfits, this helps others start a conversation with you, to explain what SFI is...people are curious.

If you see others that are successful, share their stories on FaceBook, Twitter, and other social networks, others will wish to learn more.

Offer to do free presentations at the library, at college campus, or other places describing the FREE SFI opportunity to earn while you learn.

Ads at bulletin boards also help. People always seem to read these at stores, Laundromats, apartment buildings, and other places.

Most importantly, have fun with encouraging...always go out in a great mood, people will notice, and wish to listen to those that are happy, and enjoy what they do.

Share what you like best about SFI. Make a list of everything you like most, so you know what you wish to share.

Best Wishes

This is an interesting question. I am glad you asked this as there is an important distinction to be addressed and made with this question. Usually, the question asked is what incentives should I offer my PSAs not prospects.

With that said, I might be the minority here or perhaps not. However, I would not offer any incentives to people to get them to join SFI. Having an incentive program for SFI members vs prospects is not the same. With members, usually they signed up under their own free will and were not convinced, coerced, or incentivized to join. This is an important distinction because you should not have to convince or incentivize prospects to join SFI. If your prospects can't decide on own their own will whether SFI is a true business deal with a very probable successful outcome if ran correctly, then I would refrain from having that individual on your team as a result of incentive as your are wasting time and money as more than likely then not, they will quit.

You want prospects where they want to join SFI on their own as they saw or see potential then you utilize incentives after they become members to keep them focused and motivated on their original goal that drove them to sign up for SFI to begin with. This is better timer and money spent as the likelyhood of success is much higher in this scenario then it would be if you were incentivizing prospects.

To answer the question on what incentives are best used to motivate affiliates to stay involved and focused on building their SFI business, well, there are four great incentive to use:

*Provide coop signups either free or subsidized by you and they pay a portion
*Send them TCREDITs
*Reassign affiliates
*Send them TripleClicks gift certificates

All the above incentives are great and it depends on each person on which they should use or can afford to obtain to incentivize their downline members.

Incentives are great to keep your lines active and motivated but I would advise against using incentives to get people to join SFI as you are looking to waste hard earned time and money.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Good luck.

Why do you need to offer and Incentive?

-x- SFI is free to join.

-x- Comes with the best training for network marketing Free.

-x- Has 5 streams of income you can tap into working your way up from that free position.

-x- Has Stability that surpasses most other programs.

-x- SFI has Multi-Billion Dollar potential as a retail/auction site.

-x- SFI has support you just don't find in the home business world.


Did I mention all of this is already free to everyone and they do not need to upgrade or buy anything at any time to get it?

If I offer an incentive it's to people who have already joined my team and have made it to at least EA status. I reward them with a spot in my co-op or by reassigning affiliates under them, with Gift Certificates etc.. as they reach new ranks.

I do not offer an incentive to join because I have personally found that those who need them typically only want the extra free stuff and aren't here for the right reasons.

Before thinking of offering incentive to your prospects, consider your approach of how you present the SFI opportunity. An effective approach plus incentives will most likely lead your prospects to join your team.

Explain to your prospects how SFI works by going through the SFI BASICS. Point out to them that they can start earning income by accumulating VPs, generating sales at TripleClicks, sponsoring and applying the principle of duplication, and opportunity of supplemental income streams such as CSAs commissions, referring ECAs and SFIPPA (SFI’s Pay-Per-Action).

Here are good incentives you can offer to your prospects:

- You can offer Gift Certificates or TCredits for top VP earners, sponsoring affiliates, becoming EA and so on.

- For achieving EA and up, you can also offer to include them in your Ad Co-op or share of S-Builder Co-op.

- If your prospects re-qualified to EA2 and/or move up to the next rank you can sweeten the pot by increasing the amount of your Gift Certificate depending on your budget plus reassign x number of your EAs.

- If you love bidding, you can bid for PSAs and offer your prospects a share if they remain committed in building your team.

The simple fact is the SFI program itself is the best incentive you can offer anyone to join and find out for themselves what the potential of the program is.

If you offer people incentives of any kind they will just signup to take advantage of that incentive and 99% of the time do nothing more.

People by their nature are lazy and don't want to put the effort in to earning residual incomes and expect things to be handed to them on a plate, the best thing you can do is explain all the benefits and potentials of SFI, use your own personal experience of it to encourage members to signup.

Offer incentives only if they become active and put the work in to growing with SFI, otherwise you will end up with poor results and laying out a lot more time and money than you need to

I believe that the one thing you can offer them is a successful mentor who is ready to assist them in their quest to be successful as well!
What does this mentorship consist of:
1) Sharing your knowledge and experience: Your successes (and failures)
2) Listening to each associate and getting to know them. What makes them tick, what are their strengths, weaknesses, tendencies.
3) Helping each affiliate to set up a plan that employs their strengths while allowing them to learn to overcome their individual weaknesses or fears.
4) Encouragement.. this could be praise, rewards, bonuses; anything that helps them to keep motivated.
5) Honesty... Be straightforward but positive in all of your interactions.
6) Dedication, show that you are serious and will be there to answer questions, and help them learn how to grow.
7) Show them that good honest, sustained effort and a willingness to learn and adapt are the life skills that lead to lasting success!
This approach will build the team and friends that we are all looking for!
