In my opinion, anxious-to-earn NOW affiliates and convincing them it takes time to develop a successful business are two different things. Everyone joins AFI for different reasons. Some may want quick cash and others actually want to build a long-lasting business that provides residual income indefinitely.

If an affiliate is anxious to earn money now, I would recommend that they upload some of their personal items that are in good condition but no longer needed and sell them. That would

Dear Lotfi!

I know that sounds a little crazy, but I've tried it and it works:

If I have a new PSA, I take him by the hand. A warm welcome, a small talk in chat, talk about goals and any person to whom they would like to give an opportunity for financial independence. Create with the PSA's List and help him, just enroll these individuals. If one of these persons has enrolled, help him in the same manner as above. Think not only once at the sales! Sponsor down and down. Eventually

Perhaps the other way of rephrasing the issue of quick earning is not to put them off by saying it takes time but to reassure them that there is a definite progress towards earning commissions and is realised by how fast and how effective one can be in implementing the 4 basics of SFI i.e 1. How quickly and effectively one accumulates Versa Points 2. How quickly and effectively one generates sales at triple clicks, 3. How quickly and effectively one sponsors new affiliate sign ups and duplicates

My best advice to new, anxious-to-earn-NOW affiliates is to give them a action list to follow and check off as you go. We are checking in to the to do list each day. We are making goals and writing them down. So why not go a step further with advertising that can be tested? Market a specific target for your triple clicks store. Try to sell products on other venues and then use that information to sell those product on Triple clicks. Not everything is going to work for everyone. Targeting your

"How do I get new, anxious-to-earn-NOW affiliates to understand that it takes time to develop a successful business?"

My advice is to give a real comparison to a "brick and mortar" business. SFI is just like any other real business, it takes time. With any other business, you must invest time, desire, and finances in order to have the opportunity to blossom and grow.
Point out that there is no business where you can earn NOW. All businesses require time to take

Till such time the person becomes an Executive Affiliate, we should continue to stay in touch with him regularly, possible speak to him personally and motivate him so that he will be highly encouraged to continue with SFI business. In short, we should lead by our own example so that our down lines will be highly inspired to carry on duly understanding that patience. Perseverance and duplication are key factors to be successful in SFI Business.

Hello my friend

Every business have start an introduce (learning,prepare time, team buuild, realisation, income)
The most important thing is to exlplane your affiliates that SFI business is not fast income (over the night)...
Also important is to show them your activites and proper time for your own income.
I suggest for first contact to tell them to learn and work to visit forums and webinars for knowledge.

I think that half of year 5-6 months sounds good for

1.Don't give up on anyone.

2.Work with the workers!

"you can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink" just about sums it up. You cannot force anyone to do anything. Even all the encouragement in the world will not motivate some people.watch for the "tire kickers" and work with your team to the best of your ability!

See you at the top! Remember anything worth having is worth working for!!

Tell them it take time to build a successful business.
Most businesses take 3- 5 years to see a serious profit.

It will take a lot of work, but If they are serious about building their business
they will take the time and have the patience to see it through.

In 3-5 years their business will be on auto pilot and the money will be rolling in.
