Hi John,
1. Frankly speaking there is no end to the number of ‘turn offs’. Basically, these would vary with different prospects.
The following are the common mistakes which we commit/likely to commit while talking about SFI to a prospect, which can instantly turn him/her off!
i) Being Pushy: Never try to force your prospects to join SFI. The principle & rules of SFI clearly state that joining SFI has to be a voluntary affair. You will be violating SFI’s culture if you are quite aggressive in your approach to a prospect! Therefore let’s carry out some smooth talking.
ii) Promising them the”Moon”: Never bloat up or exaggerate the benefits/rewards. Keep emphasizing that it’s not an “overnight becoming millionaire “scheme.
iii) Presenting SFI in a complicated manner: Explain in simple terms,each & every step by merely highlighting the basics;summarize the business model,sources of income,daily,weekly & monthly tasks to perform. Finally assure them that you will guide them at each step .This will instill their confidence in you.
iv) One way traffic: Never dominate the conversation with your prospect.Always pause & lend your ears allowing them to speak & clarify their doubts. Allow the discussion to flow from both sides.
v) Pleading/begging to join: Be quite professional in your approach. You may politely request your prospect once to try out this online venture but never beg them to join.
2. Most of the time you do not know your prospects in person since you are promoting SFI to mere strangers either online or offline; it’s therefore hard to deduce what can be a 'turn-off'for a particular prospect. However, avoid excess information so as not to confuse them. Too much information can also be intimidating for most people and they assume that this business is difficult and complicated and will not be capable of doing it,thereby dropping the idea of joining..
So brief them the following:-
A) The overall merits & benefits of SFI condensed to the point as given below:-
i) Free to register,
ii) Free training and world-class support around the clock.
iii) No monthly fees
iv) Nil experience required,
v) Option of choosing your own working hours
vi) Working from your own home.
vii) Global outreach
B) Minimum Basic Requirements: -
i) A desk top computer/ tablet./laptop/ smart phone with an Internet connection,
ii) Basic knowledge of English,
iii) Determination and will to work and succeed.
3. You will need to diplomatically convey to them how long it was before you broke even, and how much longer it was before the business earned you a profit without mentioning your monthly income!
4. A few people are apprehensive about the need to recruit their own down lines; but if we patiently explain the free training aids to advertise & market the affiliates for our down line, all their fears can be removed.
5. Finally, a word of caution. Never try to omit or hide any aspect of SFI that can turn off a prospect. Once he/she comes to know the truth, it will badly backfire on you.

Well John , hope these few tips are useful for promoting SFI.

What's the biggest turn-off that I should avoid talking about to prospects for SFI?"

I want to explain one of the biggest problems of the Network Marketing which is also the cause of the failure of more than 90% of people who try to achieve their dreams through this way of doing business. And the strangest thing is that this problem is not even an issue in reality, but an advantage that is not understood.

What is this problem? The problem is simplicity. I am not referring to the ease, because it is not easy. I refer to the simplicity that, in an era where everything is always more complicated, where it seems that to earn much money you have to solve big problems or have a minimum of 10 degrees, no longer able to follow a simple method that anyone in this world can use. You have to complicate it !?

We can not believe that by following some simple steps you can achieve success, yet when we see someone on stage, which is nowhere near as "smart as us," we are surprised and ask "But how is it that he himself has reached that qualification? "" But he did, because it does not seem to have any particular ability! "," what is your secret? "

The problem of people "smart" and "thinkers".

The fact is that if you feel "too smart", this way of doing business is not for you. I know because I myself was part of the category of "people who think too much and you make a thousand questions before you act."

The problem is that the thinkers must complicate things because those simple "are too simple to work" and they do it in every area of their lives. Even with people who have near as life partner. Instead of listening to his heart, to think only the essentials and what really is important in a relationship, you make 1000 unnecessary problems and complicate everything.

Network Marketing is a very simple business. The three essential things you must do to succeed are:

1. Use product

Obviously someone that uses the product, that product must pleasure. I talked about it so many times in so many articles about how important love the product for the second thing you need to do to succeed in Network Marketing (sharing the product).
Believe to be successful in Network Marketing.

2. Share the product

Only by using the product you can not earn, but you can only benefit from the positive things that this product can bring into our lives. The gain is given by the sharing of the product and as I said before, that the share is real and not a burden, either for ourselves or for our friends, we must love the product.

3. Teach to share the product

If we can gain by sharing a product, they may do even our friends and it is here that applies the principle of the lever that every rich use to increase more and more its revenue even if he continues to work less and less.

Are only three things that we must learn to do and who usually see on stage reaching results, always thinking to achieve these three things.

A lesson from a person who earns € 100,000 per month:
two years ago, at one of the presentations of an opportunity from which I was intrigued, because I knew there would be also one of the most important representatives of the company to tell its own story. I wanted to know what his secret, and as he did so in a hurry to get to the top of the qualifications of the Marketing Plan.

I had the opportunity to speak during one of the breaks and he spotted my problem, saying: "You think too much! My secret is to not think. Here we do not want genes. We want people who are too smart. Because here you have to do things, that if you think about it too much, you get stuck. "

I asked the question: "Have you ever having to make a phone call, and the more I thought about what to say, the more you found excuses not to make that call?" And of course the answer was "Yes", because that's what happens every time we want to call a potential customer, especially in the beginning.

Then I said, "A person" less intelligent (actually less skeptical) "you reach success much faster!"

  If you are also a person who is part of the category "thinkers", try for a month to stop thinking and act more.

Maybe it was not the answer you were expecting, but what not to say to a potential affiliate SFI does not exist, there is only you need to do.

Best regards.

Thanks for asking

So you've done the preliminary research on a prospect and they look like theycould be a company you could really help. Next step? Get them on the phone.
There will be times when you get a prospect on the phone and talking on your
first try. More often than not, however, you have to try very hard to stand out
from the rest of the people interrupting their day. How do you break through
inbox clutter and the black-hole that is voicemail? And how do you toe that fine
line between persistence, and harassment?
Before you reach out to a prospect, have a goal in mind. You want to connect
with the right person, add value from the get-go, and begin to understand the
prospect’s challenges and goals. Keep this in mind as you decide how to present
yourself, prepare questions to ask, and think through information you want to
share. Now, here's how you can toe that fine line between persistence and
harassment.

The biggest turn off is bad communication. Your relationship between you and your prospect is your communication with him or her and when its bad you get lots of turn off from them.

Never contact the prospect without knowing his or her best communication means and never dump too many message in your prospect email box.
Your prospect may find reading email fustrating and could desire you to call. Email is visual, allowing time for a prospect to think through what you’re saying.
It can be bookmarked, tied to a label like “follow up later,” and forwarded along
if the prospect feels like someone else in the company would be a better fit to
talk to you.
But think about how many emails you get in your inbox each day. How many of
those do you actually read? Any messages from someone you can't immediately
identify is probably going to get a quick subject-line glance followed by a trip
either to the archives, or the trash.

A call can grab a prospect’s ear more quickly and immediately establish you as
a human, versus a spam-bot. If you're comfortable jumping to a phone
conversation, you could get to the coveted connect stage sooner, and get a
follow-up call on the books.
However, you should also always be prepared to leave a voicemail -- your
prospect won’t be near his or her phone at all times. And even if you do leave a
voicemail, it doesn't mean it'll be heard, or receive a response. Often, voicemails
go in one ear and out the other. This is, of course, the downside to the phone
method of communication.

1. Never get emotional when discussing with them
2. Get social with them
3. Never forget your aim of communication, always put the business SFI mostly in what you do whike relatinv with them
4. Be persistence
5. Never mention tht SFI is get rich quick it turn off people with real business mind, such thing dont exist.

With this you can keeo your prospect in line and unturned off. Cheers

As with anyone, this depends entirely on what subjects are going to turn off a particular prospect. Some will get turned off by even something as simple as the value of the standing order. Some will look at the "ultra-simple method" and think "pyramid scheme." Some will dislike the thought of basing their income on commissions. The fact is that if these people are getting turned off by some element of how SFI works, they don't belong in the business. We're looking for people who will accept and understand the work, appreciate the opportunity, and pursue it.

I tend to be very frank and very clear about how SFI works--at least people will appreciate my honesty, and anyone who can't handle it won't waste their time or, most importantly, mine. I want active, interested affiliates, not ones who just kick the tires and never promote.

During promotions of SFI you should be especially carefull talking about "earnings and salery". Usually that's the most common question and that's fine, because people would like to know what to espect.
You should avoid answers like "it's forbiden to talk about salery" or "that's secret", cause those answers are real TURN-OFF for everybody. People become suspicios easyly.

On salery and earning question the best aswer would be something like "Salery in SFI is proporcional to your interest, effort and commitment to learn and work as a part of SFI team". That answer is fer, honest and correct.

Next turn-off subject talking about SFI is money investment subject.
Nobody should say that you can make richness without invest neither one penny in SFI !!! The fact is that you may work without investing, but you have to work really hard and long and you cannot really seriously move up without investment.

Everybody should know that investing some 20 $ isn't some secriface in comparence what you may get with NPM (New Member Package) and W3. Those are so called long term investment and people should know how important they are. When you explane that in nice way, that subjects wouldn't be "turn offs" anymore.

"What's the biggest turn-off that I should avoid talking about to prospects for SFI?"

Hi guys,

The biggest turn-off that should be avoided would be promoting your business in such a way that your story becomes a 'cliche' like many others out there.

Claiming that you have found the best of the best as if you re-invented an existing wheel. Been there, done that!

Everyone is doing the very best they can and there is more than enough to go around for all. Compare the idea with nutricion: Some of us are strict-vegetarians and some of us are meat lovers, but we all consume,right? The one is not superior to the other.

Just be that genuine extraordinary person that someone would love to work with. Be yourself !
People never join or leave companies, people join or leave people because of what they experience with that person.

So avoid building non-realistic dreams with or for someone that needs to make fast cash. SFI is not for everyone. So learn how to let go while you grow. SFI is not a fast-cash making Business and does not promote itself as one either, right? Have a wonderful day everyone ;-)

The biggest turn-off lies primarily in the fact that people are not persistent and do not believe in SFI business. As well as in private life, if someone is not sufficiently committed to his job then it is better not to work or change jobs. With that, what people expect from SFI job is to enrich themselves after one or two months, which is absolutely impossible. However, with the help of sponsors, teams and entire upline SFI support at any time, all the problems can be overcome.

On the other hand, most people have bad experiences working with previous multi-level jobs, where the main activity of new members and payment of a sum of money at the beginning of labour. While here in the first few days there are incentives if it wants to become a member of the Fast-track, thus obtaining certain privileges of each month, personal choice of each member depends on whether it will be the beginning of some money to invest or not because there is many other ways to respective tasks such as auctions, selling or advertising of products, creation of new on-line stores etc.

What is required by this job is everyday work, perseverance and dedication!

I think you should avoid following points, to face the biggest turn-off:

1.Do not tell any thing,minor or major,which proved wrong later on.
2.Tell them that they are joining a business and business means business.Here they have to invest time and money,results will be accordingly. 3.Myth of overnight rich should be curbed at once.
4.Inform them about initial hurdles,do not paint unnecessary rosy picture.
5.Do not avoid their questions.

In nutshell any thing may be biggest turn-off,if any of your stated point proved to be a false or look like a part of deception plan.In a pleasant way you may narrate all benefits but as soon as you start crossing the limit,it means you are turning off.Mind it there is no specific thing or specific switch to turn-off,any of your act may cause the biggest turn-off.

Hello,

I think that this question is one of the crucial ones.

You should be very polite, careful, and don’t lie ever to them, but always tell the true.

Also, it is very important to avoid mistakes, i.e. quite often things such as:
-complicate more than it is necessary,
because SFI is quite simple to learn if you suggest them first to watch the video, read Basics and Launchpad;
-tell those things such as: “with SFI you can get rich quickly”,
because it is not true, but a long term process which you should adequately explain to them;
-force them to buy something,
but explain them the benefits of purchasing TCredits, NMP, S-Builder, Wave3, etc;
-ignore them because of bad rating; and
-being impatient,
but quite the opposite: be very patient with them.

Hope that this will help you.
