One of the major reasons why affiliates quit or never start their SFI journey is they are overwhelmed with the amount of information they see inside SFI website.

So, my advise is to provide as brief overview of what SFI is all about. Always start on something that will catch their attention.

What is it then that will catch their attention? Almost all of us who join SFI wants to earn income, so we start with How to Earn from SFI. Then we want to know what we should do to earn

It’s better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about than giving the full story of SFI or you will lose him quickly, especially if it's your first meeting.

It’s been written that the first two to four minutes that you speak with a prospect are more important than any other four minutes that you will ever have together.

Emerson wrote, “What you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you are saying.”

You don't want to frighten them away by overwhelming them with more than they can understand before they have even come to the website.

I think more than just a thimbleful, but definitely NOT a mini-course in SFI. Give them your prepared introduction of information, and a card with your gateway on it. Do try to get them to give you their email (or phone, if you are local to them) so you can maintain contact.

Once they decide to come see for themselves, you can begin to give

The amount of information that you share with prospects will depend on the prospect.

Everyone is different - some people will research for a long time before they go out to make the purchase of a product. For this person, it is advantageous to provide more information about SFI but follow their lead by what they want to know.

Some people will simply make a decision to purchase a product and will go out and make the purchase quickly. For this person, it is advantageous to provide

When sharing with prospects whether it is by an ad, email or in person, information about SFI and TripleClicks the less information you share the better the chance that your prospect will want to check it out.

• Keep your information short but keep their curiosity juices flowing.
• Your information must be exciting and truthful with no hype.
• Make your information be a solution to their dreams and needs.
• Assure them of your qualifications to teach

Hello

I am a HUGE fan of the concept "less is more" but that is when you are trying to sell something to somebody..
If you know how to make a person "curious" ( say as little as possible) then the chances of them visiting your offer increases thus signups increase also..

BUT,.. If you inform your prospects about logging in daily, do tasks daily, expect little income fast but massive income in the future, having a SO and so on BEFORE signing up your QUALITY

How much you tell about SFI depends on what stage you are at with your prospects.

If they are unaware of SFI obviously you will give them information that would arouse their interest. Be brief and this is what most of us do with our advertising. For examples of these, have a look at the banners and text ads at https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter. The idea here is to get them interested and hopefully they will go a step further and either sign up to SFI or look for further

Hello Ana,
Your prospects will want to know something about SFI before they begin and this should be kept to the very basics. Telling them too much will only confuse and discourage them.

My personal view is you should be concentrating on INTRODUCING YOURSELF AND YOUR COMMITMENT to the prospective team member's success. As there is no obligation to invest or continue with SFI have your prospect sign up and then give them personal support as a part of your team. SFI does a good job

Hi Ana,

I would suggest that you only provide enough information to get them interested. Unless of course they ask specific questions.

I feel that if you try and give them to much information one of two things will happen.

1. They'll become totally confused and think that it's just too hard to do.

2. You'll get bogged down trying to explain every nuance of SFI.

Give them the information straight from the Basics Tab.

I would suggest providing honest and genuine information to the prospects.

If we try to provide too much information they may or may not have the patience to listen to us.

At the same time, if we try to be very brief they may not be convinced either.

More than providing either too long or too short an information, it is very essential that we should not give them any wrong information. We may mislead; they may join; but once they understand the reality they quit
