Prospects want to have a littler idea about your business before they sign up. What is it about? How do you make money? What will he have to do? How much will it cost.

These questions can be answered quite simply. You don't have to tell him everything. He doesn't know the terminologies. Using these will only confuse him. How can he memorize all the definitions?

When I got in and started doing the To Do List, my sponsor was half-way around the world on personal business. I did my start up alone, other than being told to maintain EA by setting up a Standing Order.

While doing the To Do List, everything I read added more questions to my suitcase full. But incredibly, after a couple of days, the material began to take shape and new material fit with the older material, and soon I could see the big picture.

So I would say, briefly tell the prospects about SFI, but leave the real information for him to discover and explore. Don't lie to him or give him false hopes. Be there when he needs to ask you some questions, but let him have the pleasure of discovery.

Hi Ana, it is better NOT to suffocate your prospects with too many details per time.
If you do, you get your prospects bored with so many things. From experience, this is my observation. Rather, choose to pick the information to pass across to them based on the circumstance that comes per time. For instance, a prospect who has been in the business for a while will need advise and leading on how he/she can make the most out of SFI. This you can do by checking the VPledger of individual prospects and advising accordingly. This should be bit by bit. On the other hand, if your prospect is new to SFI then talk more on what will interest him. This must also be bit by bit. For a new prospect, discuss the following in that order:

1) Introduce yourself as his sponsor in SFI

2) Make him feel welcome to SFI

3) Talk about his/her timely decision to join SFI and the prospects ahead.

4) Talk about what he/she may enjoy in SFI - both short and Long term benefits:

a) Co-sponsored affiliates to strengthen his/her team and help you earn more cash rewards;
b) Up to 20 FREE T-credits (worth US$ 39.80) for his/her purchases online at TripleClicks.com;
c) US$ 10 Cash reward in your second month as TEAM LEADER;
d) US$ 50 cash reward he/she can WIN in daily draws for one full year when he/she makes E365 FINALIST;
e) Thousands of dollars in direct commission on sales made through your TripleClicks referral, SFI affiliates etc.
f) If you are a business person, you can bring your business to the world for FREE by becoming E-Commerce Associate (ECA);
g) Let him know that he/she can earn mouth-watering RESIDUAL INCOME for life from this business.

5) Explain to him/her how to get started quickly and how the system works:
a) Training materials - SFI Home Page > Training Menu
b) Access to the VPLedger - Hotspot Menu > VPLedger
c) Engaging in daily actions - On the To-Do List, Scoreboard, Movers etc.

6) Explain to him the purpose of a T.E.A.M (Together Everyone Achieves More)

7) Let him know you are willing to help him/her grow as a member of your team.

8) Conclude by referring him to your blog and leadership page.

GOOD LUCK!

I think that both of these, given the right circumstances, works. The best way around this is when you send your introductory email to put it into simple point form with numbers and 2 or 3 sentences in each number. This is easy to follow.

You can then explain that after they have been members for a week, you will follow up with a more comprehensive email detailing each numbered section. Take each number and send one email per day with full details of the item at that number.

That way they are not bombarded with 101 things they should be doing....and then get halfway down the email and can't really be bothered to read any more because it is too complicated.

Your introductory email should be 10 points with no more than 3 lines of type in each. Your follow up email should detail only one of these points at a time.

Much easier to follow.

I think it depends on the person you're talking with and how much interest they're showing in the first place.

You need to know how to read your prospect and to do that, you need to talk in shorter sentences that allow them to ask you more questions.

If they want to know more about SFI or TripleClicks, let them ask you. And when you answer, leave openings for them to comment or ask more questions.

If you go on and on in detail, you may lose their interest and they may actually feel like you're trying to "pitch" the business to them.

Remember, you want to build a relationship with people first before getting into detail about the company.

So in my opinion, I'd just speak briefly about what you do and let them ask you more questions.

Hi Ana,
1.Well, I would prefer a brief preview of SFI opportunities to my prospects than a lengthy detailed information. But this brief preview should be honest and genuine information. When people become interested, it's good to share more information in details. But this sharing of basics should be carried out in installments in the follow up mails! This will keep the would be affiliates interested and make them understand the “fundas” of SFI. Small doses of information will definitely educate them in running their SFI business.
2. The SFI home page is well designed with an ocean of self- explanatory information on marketing, duplication, advertising,sell,buying etc. --which are the tall pillars on SFI foundation. You may direct them to go through their respective Urls of the above mentioned basics.
3.Further, it’s better to provide my prospects with a brief positive overview that leaves my prospects with a positive mental picture; after digesting the brief preview they will have an insatiable curiosity to do their own research and find the required info themselves and learn more. You should allow them ample freedom to acquire knowledge readily available in the SFI home page but at the same time be readily available to offer them helpful guidance as & when they request you! You should encourage them to read & digest the available info and then only clarify their doubts if any!!Leading them to your to JMT gateway will provide all the basics about Tripleclicks & S FI,your profile,your achievements,personalised invite from you and not the least-the testimonials from other affiliates!!
4.I would like to conclude with a word of caution; whether long or brief preview, it’s essential not to give any wrong, misguiding info to your prospects. Initially, they may join; but once they understand the reality they will quit immediately.

Well,Ana, this is my opinion based on personal experience,but can differ individual to individual!!
Wish you happy hunting.

You don't want to overload a new affiliate with information. Here is what I recommend:

Step 1: Send simple greeting, welcoming them into the business and explaining that your purpose will be to help them build their business and to answer any questions they have.

Step 2: Show them how to reach 500 VP the very first day to get the 200 VP bonus. I always make this a separate letter from Step 1.

Step 3: I show them how to go 1500 VP without spending a penny. If an affiliate is active, this usually takes 5-7 days or less.

Step 4: I show them how to go fast track and the advantages of buying NMPs in the first 10 days after signup.

Step 5: Next I show them the advantage of getting on Standing Order of at least 1,500 VP, pointing out that they can even reach the rank of TL Platinum if they choose. It's actually easy!

Hello, Ana:

Is it better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about...or more lengthy, detailed information?

As others have mentioned, it may depend on how well you know the prospect. If you know them well, or know what they may be looking for, a longer explanation may be appropriate.

If you do not know them at all and do not know what they may be looking for or expecting, then in my opinion, only a brief overview should be given.

An overview should briefly highlight a few of the most important, most exciting key points about SFI without explaining them at any great length. Decide who your targeted audience is and then chose a few key points that you know will get their attention.

The highlights must be true and honest. No hype or misleading statements.

If you are presenting your appeal in an advertisement or article or blog post, you can include notes inviting the prospect to contact you (or click here) for more information.

If you are making an in-person presentation, you can invite questions and stay alert to their reactions to get a sense of when to offer more info and when to just stop and let them think about it.

Sometimes, in our own enthusiasm, we tend to charge forward like a locomotive without paying attention to how the prospect is reacting. We just want to dump the whole load on them and then see what happens.

It is far better to go slow, give less information, invite questions from the prospect and sometimes just stop talking altogether and be silent. Sometimes, if you stop talking and just bite your tongue so you aren't tempted to say anything more, the prospect will feel uncomfortable in the silence and will start doing the talking. That is awesome! They will reveal to you what they are thinking and you will then have a better idea whether or not to offer more information.

Overall, I say that a brief overview is always better. Start small and see where it leads from there.

My opinion is that you do not give them a lengthy detailed lecture - it will confuse and overwhelm them before they even start.

All they need to know before they sign up is the following:

SFI and Triple Clicks is a global company.
It is FREE to join and it is FREE to get the training and it is FREE to use the tools provided.
It is not a get rich quick business - you actually have to work for your money.
They have 16 years of experience and they are part of Carson Services.
It is about recruiting affiliates and buying and selling online.
It is internet marketing
You have your own business and you have to build it the same way you build a business like a shop or restaurant etcetera.

Once they signed up you lead them to find out the rest. Guide them to learn step by step - once again, you do not want to scare them or overwhelm them in the first week.

Hi Ana!
As far as I understand SFI. SFI is too broad to explain. There are many ways to run your business and there are many ways to make money.
I for one, I think it is it better to provide prospects with only a brief overview of what SFI is about. Then ask your prospects to join and find out more themselves.
When you give them more lengthy, detailed information. You might end up giving them wrong information sometimes. As human beings we don't understand things the same way. We are all affiliates here at SFI, but we don't understand SFI the same way.
Just give them brief overview and let them join and find out more themselves.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.

That would really vary from person to person. Some want to see the big picture, others just want to know what to do.

In general I try to lead people with a template of: "This is what you should have done (general). This is the next step (specific) and this is what will be coming next (general).

The issue is usually trust. People ask me what do I do to make money, I tell them, and then they do not do it. Why? Because they do not trust the system yet. So to build trust I say, for example:

"I will finance your purchase of the NMP if you achieve (goal). Why will I do that? Because I know how SFI works and you do not. My experience in SFI has created in me trust that the rights steps taken will produce the desired outcome, Profit. You do not yet have the experience so you have not built up the trust. But follow my lead and when your trust has been won by SFI, help your affiliates in the same way."

I have experienced when I show confidence in the system they more readily follow my step by step instructions.
