The biggest turn-off any one must avoid in SFI business is “Talking Way Too Much”

First, your enthusiasm may come across as overkill and turn your prospect off.

Second, your prospects are imagining themselves in your place and wondering,
Am I going to have to become an expert on all this?
Am I going to have to talk with people for hours about this? I don’t have time!”

A great way for how to approach prospects and get around this hurdle is to have a quick and simple business tool do the talking for you. May be you can prepare your own presentation on SFI business (ensure the slides are logically connected and aligned) For example, my team uses a sizzle call to share the business opportunity in less than ten minutes.

How to approach prospects becomes as simple as, “I’d love for you to check this out. Listen to this quick call on your drive home, and I’ll follow up with you to get your thoughts.” Ahhh, can’t you breathe easier just thinking about it?

Wish you good luck!!

Hi John.

I believe there are several thing that can "turn off" new affiliates, but avoiding talking about these could also send them away.
Because people can sign up for free, many will and never come back again.
A lot of new affiliates will not continue for several reasons. I try to address these to new PSAs & CSAs right away. My theory is, if they aren't going to work, they might as well keep surfing. Some will come back later and some won't.

WHAT ARE THE TURN OFF REASONS?
1) Wanting to get lots of money right away, without working.
Answer: Sorry, this is a legitimate internet business which you must work at daily to become successful.
2) Joining a 'GET RICH QUICK' business.
Answer: We don't do that sort of thing here. I have never found one, only scams wanting your money.

THESE ARE THE BIGGEST!
3) A Multilevel Company.
4) A Marketing Company.

SFI is a "multilevel marketing company". Many people don't understand "Multilevel" or "Marketing". Explaining what these really means, will help new affiliates to understand what they can do and why they can become a success in THEIR SFI business.

WHAT IS MULTILEVEL?
Multilevel is how you receive your paycheck. If you work hard you will receive a bigger paycheck and percentage of benefits.
Many people say, "I'm not going to work just for someone else to become profitable!"
Every company works on the multilevel system for a paycheck.
For example:
1) If you are a teller in a bank or a sales person at a store, you receive a paycheck on what and how well you do.
2) The manager receives a bigger check from the profits you have helped make.
3) The President receives a bigger check on these profits.
4) The owner and/or stock holders receive a much bigger check on these profits.

This is called multilevel, each person receives a percentage of the profits on the business.
By acquiring new PSA & CSAs and helping them become successful, will help you go higher in your business and receive a bigger percentage of the profits and benefits. As your team works and grows their business, they receive a bigger percentage of the profits and benefits, causing you to receive even more.

Here are some suggestions to help you see what and how you are doing. Also, where to learn more on your income:

2) The Benefits Chart at: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart
3) Start learning from the Internet Training Course at:

WHAT IS MARKETING?
Marketing is how you advertise you business.
Anyone that has a business, even a brick and mortar business, must let people know they ARE in business. To do this you must market or advertise. We are given all the tools and the training,for FREE,to become an expert on advertising/marketing our businesses.

The biggest turn off in my oppinion is not so much what you say but what approach you take during the conversation.

If you are honest and open about the business and what someone can expect from it they be more eager to listen to your story. However, if you sound pushy or trying to convince someone you might most often achieve the exact opposite.

But if you really need to know what not to say and I'd have to come up with something to that one I think it'll be money. Do not talk about money or how much something costs, only talk about the benefits and try not to bring any negativity and doubt into the mind of the person you talk to.

That would depend upon your prospects. You would need to gauge what your prospect is really interested in.

For example, if your prospect is looking for an online shopping alternative, then you should concentrate on that without pushing SFI or ECA too much as it might push them away altogether.

If your prospect is really interested in selling their stuff online, then sell the ECA programme without pushing them to participate in the affiliate programme.

You see, slow and steady wins the race. It is understandable to get all propspects to be in your downline and build their team straightaway. But if what they see is not what they're interested in, then it will only make them stay away. So find out what really interest them. You can talk about the affiliate programme with them soon enough.

For those wanting a no-investment system, you can talk about SFI being free, but you need to talk about the time taken to get your returns. More investment, more returns. And investment does not mean just money. It also means time and energy.

It is just about strategy. Either find a lot of prospects and not care so much about whether they will become active because it is a numbers game anyway. Or study your prospects and when they do sign up, they become active straight away.

The choice is yours.

SFI is simple.
it's as easy as doing your normal daily duties.
but a prospective affiliate may get turned off if you do any of these errors:
1. If you don't understand what the prospective affiliate wants.
- he/she may want just to sell online, register for the Triple Clicks music contest, or maybe build residual six figure income. If u sell the wrong idea to him/ her its an error.
2. He or she might have tried many quick scamy make it overnight networks and it failed, the moment you sell SFI as an overnight success which it's not, u loose.
3. Some people don't get comfortable if you get too personal. Simply stick to business.
4. Make sure you don't lie about what you don't know, people will appreciate to wait and get the right information later. Simply give him/her your card and request them to call later for the answer or you could call back if they would not mind giving you their number.
5. If you begin to show them all you have to do on a daily basis. They'll feel that it is going to tie up their time. Just sign them up and send them welcome tips to guide them.

I hope this helps

Certainly there are some issues that can pose big "turn-offs" for our prospects. Some of them may be:

- The time we need to spend with SFI to start seeing "pretty" results (this isn't a business that will make you rich overnight).
- The money you need to invest in SFI to easily maintain our rank and / or grow faster and better (there is no monetary investment business, no matter how smal it is, and it's difficult to accept this at times. A simple coffee while we do our daily tasks in a cafe to leverage their wifi network, for example, would be an investment in our business even if we intend develop it "without putting a penny").
- The amount of work (beyond the daily, weekly and monthly tasks) you have to address to promote our business on-line and off-line. (social media, blogs, ads sites, meetings...)
- Etc.

Any of these issues, and in practice any subject that your prospects aren't used and / or willing to face can be a turn-off... but are issues that they must know, because sooner or later they going to meet them and they goint to decide whether or not to deal with them and how.

So I don't think you have to avoid talking about anything with your prospects. Moreover, I think that is PRECISELY about the possible turn-offs of what you have to talk to them. Knowing their concerns, why these issues hold them back and / or even start and seek for solutions together to overcome it is the only way to prevent a turn-off really turn-off a prospect to the bussines.

On the contrary, if you avoid talking about it and you let your prospects discover for themselves something they don't like and they don't expect, the subject itself is going to be a real turn-off for him/her... and then maybe is too late to prevent his/her leaves.

Generally any new prospect joining SFI knows the type of business they are getting in to: Home Business based on E-commerce. If the business model of SFI has been misrepresented in any way your ideal goal is to present that model to them. A good way to demonstrate that is to present them the comparison chart: https://www.sfimg.com/ReviewSIM/SFIComparisonChart.pdf

Avoid using a tone that says "you have to" or "you must" but rather "you will be able to" and "you will get to"!

I always promote SFI as a series of simple tasks to residual business income. Also a peaceful and exciting journey in owning your own business where everything from recruitment to investment is covered in easy to understand steps and the best part is you can work your way up.

hi John - this is a VERY good and valid question - also, of cardinal importance...

I would say ;
1. Do NOT LIE....that's about it....

Always be truthful in any discussion about the business. To do that, YOU must be informed to the extent where you are able to answer just about any question about the SFI business. Visit your Homepage every day, explore the site extensively, VP Ledger, Marketing Aids, etc. Be serious about your business and always convey that in any conversation or correspondence...

Put emphasis on the fact that SFI is established and successful. Also, make it very clear that NO "get rich quick" scheme exists. Like any business, you have to actually DO something, be active, be motivated, be dedicated in order to make any progress.

If someone asks a question you are unable to answer, tell that person you will investigate the question and return in due time with the appropriate answer (never "make up" an answer)...and DO just that, it builds trust and respect.

You must stress that it consumes time, nothing happens when you do nothing. Makes sense?

I hope this helps and inspires you John - and us all.....

The affiliates actively working in SFI know the challanges to be faced while going ahead with this business. After lot of hard work and drudgery, affiliates can find out the way to success.

Life is full of ups and downs. Same as life, SFI is also a road full of challenges and twists. Our objective is to overcome the challenges. We have to be very positive, hard working and motivational.

Always we have to think in a positive way. Always we have to talk positive. There should not be any trace of negativity in our attitude. Then only team members will get enough confidence upon us and they will think about continuing with this business.

We have to avoid negativity in every sphere of our life and motivational speech is required everytime to inspire all team members.

The biggest turn-off you should avoid talking to your prospects about is "purchase".
Avoid starting discussion with the idea that they have to buy products. People do not want to part with money easily, yet they want to make money.

SFI has many other ways to make it other than making people buy products. For instance, working on your To-Do-List daily earns you Versa Points without buying anything but the movement may be slow.

Completing your profile by just adding your picture (New Affiliates) earns you VersaPoints; Liking SFI & TripleClicks on Facebook and following them on Twitter also earns you Versa Points among others (these are things they do anyway on social media without any reward). Let your prospects start slow and when they mature and become convinced that SFI is real, they opt for product purchase on their own accord.

Concentrate on their small but continuous improvement which will lead to commitment and consistence.
Good Luck.
