As a senior myself, I would be most likely to engage in a conversation about extra income with a person who took some time to get to know my hopes, dreams, family life, and how I spend most of my time.

Seniors either have enough money for their needs and wants or they are looking for a way to supplement what they have. They are often worried that they haven't put enough money away to last until the end of their life. They are facing their mortality and do not want to get into anything that sounds like it will take forever to materialize, though most of them are wise enough that there is no such thing as overnight riches.

Most have made plans before they retired. Are they able to do the things they planned? Many like to travel for extended times. SFI being an internet networking business fits right into that kind of lifestyle. They can promote their business where ever they go and have an ever increasing warm market.

Seniors with hobbies often incorporate their hobbies into their travels and therefore have instant rapport with many strangers. They already hve a large warm market and it is easily enlarged.

By showing your senior prospects how SFI would fit into their already established daily habits, you can show them that joining will be almost like slipping on a pair of shoes. When showing them the money angle, don't stress the big bucks, but what they can expect in the near future. They are looking to make ends meet or pay for nice vacations, not endless wealth.

Seniors can make time for this business if they want to. They don't want an 8 hour a day job again, so stress the time leveraging and available income streams we have with SFI. Stress that it is portable. They can take it anywhere they go that offers internet service.

I take this question most personally since I, along with I am sure many thousands of other SFI affiliates, am part of that demographic. I am 65 and my lovely wife is a beautifully budding 60. We are not invalids, incompetent, nor are we ready for a nursing home. With that being said, we are active (we swim and workout regularly) and we are computer literate (I was once a Network Support Technician of a major hotel in Las Vegas).

So to answer your question, I wouldn’t approach seniors any differently than anyone else except in one way.

All seniors are approaching or are already in retirement. A very scary time of life for some. In many cases our incomes are cut in half when that day comes. So the very best way to approach senior citizens is to simply show how easy it is to build a second (and residual) income that will continue to grow long into an active retirement. A business that won't cost any more, monthly, than dinner out for two.

SFI has numerous marketing tools for this purpose (banners as well as text ads) and you can always find people willing to assist you on the SFI forum.

But most of all never forget... Seniors are people, too. We have the same wants, needs and dreams as anyone. The difference being we are more stable and mature than many others and once we put our minds and hearts into a project (or business) we tend to follow through.

You will need to study the area where you live to see where senior citizens are gathering. In one small rural town I used to reside is a Community Center that has live musicians and dances on a monthly basis. Even though most are senior citizens it is open to all ages.

In some circles you could be considered a senior citizen at age 50 or 55. The best strategy is to befriend them. They need to see you has a reputable and trustworthy person. If you have Facebook Friends who are Senior Citizens they will see your posts and may inquire with you about your business.

Communication is key. You must engage them in conversation. Learn about each other and wait for that open window of opportunity that often comes within a conversation. Because many senior citizens want to remain active in their retirement and with many of them living alone will do volunteer work within their community. Some of them may want to supplement their income but just have not found a way. Others are already doing that by working part-time.

There are many volunteer jobs that you could do that would place you in the company of senior citizens. If you have an automobile there are transportation services in some communities where volunteer drivers can take senior citizens to, doctors appointments, get groceries, the dentist etc. It could be anyone without an automobile.

Flea Markets, Craft Shows, Garage Sales, local parks, campgrounds and community swimming pools or the beach are all great places to engage in conversion with senior citizens. Some senior citizens could also be good prospects for the ECA Program or just selling their unwanted stuff.

Great question!

This is a question I have asked myself.

Where would I go?

After I think about this question, another question comes to mind. Where am I likely to find those seniors I wish to target.

The first answer will be senior forums. This is a very good source, but I would caution you to make sure you are opening up lines of communication here, and not just blatantly slinging links out all over the forum.

Another place is Google search. There are several keywords we can enter in the search window that can open up many more ideas. Use the Google image search. This usually helps us pinpoint or identify our targeted markets with much more ease.

Discussion groups geared more toward seniors is also another source for seeking seniors.

What about retirement? Many question will surface under this heading. How many places can you think of off the top that would produce great sources for leads.

One I can think of right away is social media fan page (Facebook)where we have the ability to target a select group.

It all depends on what you have in investment resources, time and money, where you decide to target your market, and what types of seniors you wish to target.

What are you comfortable with?

I would definitely start with Google search.

Thank you for allowing me to share!

Senior citizens are people with years of transferable skills, workplace experiences, training and education. A good strategy to use would be to focus on the skills that they have and how they can be transfered to the SFI environment.

Take time to explain how they can use the skills that they have to build a team, build a business and grow an income.

They need to be aware that although it is a new venture, there are opportunities for them to use their existing knowledge at SFI and to teach the younger crowd there.

There are areas where their skills and previous experiences are especially useful:
-Ask SC
-The forum
-A2A
-Leadership
-Communication
-Problem solving

Using their existing skills in those areas can pay off quite well. I am sure there are more.

When it comes to Niche Marketing, senior citizens will do well building a niche business using TripleClicks products and their area of expertise. Take time to explain this.

Hope this helps.

This is a great question!

To attract senior citizens to SFI, first, put yourself in their shoes. Ask yourself, "What do they spend time on during the day? Where do they get together? Where will you find them?" The answers will help you determine the best ways to reach them.

Senior citizens in North America (NA) spend up to 10hrs per day watching television. Target them by telling them it is a great way to stay occupied and keep the brain active, and they can make some residual income as they do it!

In NA, many seniors (but not all seniors) reside in assisted living facilities and/or spend time at regular social events. So, get yourself invited to these places/events and speak to them about SFI and its benefits.

Seniors are a great niche market! Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Hello and thank you for the chance to answer this question!

Forget about strategies and learn to embrace the potential for creating long lasting and beneficial relationships using SFI as your resource.

SFI does not need to be sold rather introduced naturally to those you know and know you.

When you have a sincere relationship in place with others, introducing something you believe in comes with ease and is likely going to be more readily accepted by those who you address.

In otherwords, go play bingo, or go and volunteer and get involved truly with your community and watch what happens when you share you in time and not just this opportunity.

Don't make this complicated, it's already way too simple.

Hope this helps.

Your question is Excellent, it will help many members of SFI.

At first you think that senior citizen have a life time experience, it may be job oriented or business or any kind of other professional work. When you make an awesome strategy for senior citizen, please keep the following factors in your mind.

1)Try to know that the particular senior citizen previously related with what income source, if they related with job then it quite hard to convince him/her for any kind of business, because they are already job oriented they have some worried with business, but you have keep your patience and try hard to motivate him or her, don’t leave him/her.

2)If the particular senior citizen have already associated with any kind of business, then it will great advantage for you, because they already know that every business have need time and investment for success, you can easily involve them to your down-line and give them duplication strategy of SFI.


3)If the senior citizen related with professional work, it is middle situation for you, if they like change to test of earning money then you can proceed, but try to know the circumstances of that particular person.

4)So above mention three cases you must give good demonstration of SFI, and advice them to join and give them some important lesson of SFI and introduce them with our SFI Forum, tell them that they have many good friends in Forum for discussing about their business.


5)One most important factor in this question is that relation with senior citizen with you. After going many years of life, they need good and reliable friends. Always try to make smooth relation with them and make your reliability for them. Relation increase then your business with grow with senior citizen, anything can happen with you, you have to lead them with your full efforts.

6)Start conversation in any social media or in SFI chat system with free information and teach them many good lessons about SFI. When you chat with them always maintain to respect for them, always remember they have more experience then you, so you have give some new business plan and that is SFI.


7)SFI – Strong Future International, the abbreviation of SFI have its own meaning, you give importance over it, advice them to look forward with SFI and make strong future with SFI, here is no retirement of job, so let’s begin. All you have to simulate them with your own way and remember my point of discussion.

8)Discuss with then the recent economic trends of World wide. There are many scam sites and many people want earn money with scam, be aware of this. Tell them the history and back ground of SFI. Many people join SFI and make a high income from home. Give them some good example of success, your target to motivate them in good way.


9)One more important factor is that they have enough time for learning so you recommend them for learning lesson of SFI. Give them the demonstration of TripleClicks sale and earn commission and also give training for team building.

10)Don’t lose your patience to join them in SFI. You try your best and you must win. I just share my conception for attracting senior citizens to SFI. You never give up – you efforts must have good result.

I believe that the best angle to approach senior citizens to SFI is from the standpoint of additional income for retirement. Today more than 50% of people reach retirement age and have to continue working if their health permits. For those who have failing health, they have to rely on a fixed income and their children to help them in retirement. So many seniors are looking for ways to leave the workforce but continue to have an income besides retirement. Many seniors only have Social Security to live on.

Therefore, you want to capitalize on the life experiences of this demographic by giving them the facts and figures. Remind them than more and more seniors are left depending on their children which means that their quality of life is diminished once they stop or can't work. Let them know in as little as 2 hours every day, anyone with a computer and an internet connect can create an extra $300 dollars every month. This allows them to have the time freedom they deserve while supplementing their income with SFI. People are also living longer so this means that they outlive their retirement savings. Why not beef up your savings with Strong Future International and secure a stronger financial future for life.

Interesting Question.

I think a lot of senior citizens really worry about how they're going to survive into old age. Most people have less than $1000 in savings for their retirement. I think that they also worry about not being able to leave a legacy for their children and grandchildren. They don't want their loved ones to have to suffer the same hardships as they may have.

I would invite them to have a look at the potential of SFI to supplement or even replace their pensions (if they have one) and then let them know that they also have the ability to bequeath what may be a thriving business to their children and grandchildren. This could be life changing for them and would be a great legacy to leave behind.
