Organise to have regular monthly meetings in your area. Put an ad in the local paper and distribute some flyers advertising the date and time of your meeting. Provide the address and your name and phone number.

Advise that this will be a regular monthly get together to help members get set up in their own business. Most importantly tell them that it is totally free and no-one is under any obligation.

Set up your garage with some tables and chairs. Organise to have some posters, flyers and business cards available on the day.

If possible, request anyone attending bring along their laptop so you can demonstrate just how things work. They can then make up their own mind and have another look at it when they get home. They may even join up there and then.

When your meeting is over and everyone is fairly clear on how to operate this great business, make a date for the next meeting to follow up and provide help where it is needed. Continue your newspaper advertisement for more new members each month.

This is an ideal situation to hand out some $12 Gift Cards and for anyone who actually joins on the night, provide them with a Gift Certificate to get started.

This training is for your Team Members.

Before doing anything gauge the interest of your team members first. Just simply put it out there and say to them that you are thinking of running local training sessions. Is there any interest?

Your next step will depend on the feedback you get. If there is great interest and you are going to go ahead with the training, ask your team members what they would like to be covered in the training. You want them to buy-into the idea of getting together and having a say in what the training is about.

You will of course structure the training sessions guided by what your team members want. You don't have to cover everything they want all at one session. You can also cover what you believe needs to be covered.

Limit your training sessions to 2-4 hours and hold them at a central location to which most of your local affiliates can go. It may not be in your hometown. Start at a suitable time, allowing for travel etc..

If this is going to be the 1st of several sessions make sure that you host your team member well, within reason. Make sure the training is the best. You want them to go away happy that they have learnt from the day and looking forward to the next training sessions.

First of all, you need to establish a reputation among your affiliates that you are a leader, who is knowledgeable with a good understanding of SFI business. Your knowledge and understanding make no sense to your affiliates if you do not impart same downwards, so you must be seen as a helpful and selfless leader who is always ready to guide without hesitation, promptly and decisively.

In order to get your affiliates attend your local training, you need to let them know the benefits of attending and what you intend to discuss. For example, you know some of the issues they constantly raise which you think the training will address, and then sell those particular points. Although you did not mention it but I suppose it is physical training session you are referring to, so they may be eager to see you and others in person, especially if their perception of you is positive.

You need to inform them that apart from training, there are other side attractions like refreshments, entertainment local to all, fun games etc. In conjunction with this, it may be necessary to include a 'catch' for those who will be attending the training session like; free co-op membership for a certain period, free own domain name, free SFI caps/T-shirts, free physical or e-books etc.

Also, the venue should be fit and proper for the training session and resist from the temptation of using your house because it does not look professional, especially if this is the first time you are doing a training session and ensure you communicate this to those you want to attend.

Finally, this meeting is local, so ensure you let your affiliates know that, apart from training, issues and problems common to your local affiliates will be discussed and solutions will be offered.

Solicit feed-back from your fellow affiliates in your area about topics that they are wanting and needing to know about. Obtaining their direct comments about what he or she finds challenging or not knowing enough about will then provide you the topics that you may use to prepare training sessions for them.

Talk with them directly to let them know of your interest to help them and to support their efforts with content area that they are not comfortable with due to a lack of knowledge.

Means to solicit or obtain information may be the use of a Google Form survey or Monkey Survey, direct Team Mail message or even ask through the use of SFI Form postings or Stream Posts and even by use of your Leadership Page. It is important to ask what topic is of interest to them and what they hope to learn and improve upon...what you think they need and what they express as "wanting to know about" may be different so be sure to engage affiliates to find out what would be meaningful training topics to attract them to attend.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the "Super SFI-ing Stars" among the affiliates in your area as you could ask them to co-facilitate or facilitate a training session live or through Skype so that affiliates not only have exposure to your methods but start to network and learn from others.

Be sure to not only teach about successful strategies but also be sure to share what did not work so that fellow affiliates have knowledge of what not to do too.

Sharing through training the strategies of "what works" and "does not work" will cause people to be interested in attending your sessions and when you ask others to lead the sessions this provides diverse knowledge and opportunity to emphasize that SFI works for anyone not just the few.

If you have enough affiliates in close vicinity of you, you are in a very good position to arrange training sessions, seminars, workshops, recruitment drives and social gatherings.

A training session would be a good pace to start with your current team.

Before you structure your session you can ask your affiliates to tell you what they would like to hear or learn in a training session. If you get a lot of requests rather split it up in more than one session.
Why do I say you ask your affiliates? They are in it already - if you tell them things they know already they won't get value from it but if you explain things they are battling with they are going to sit up and pay attention and get value out of your session. Give them value and they will come again.

Once you know what you will be covering you can send out invitations with a properly structured agenda. Ask them to RSVP by a specific date so you have enough time to prepare. Draw up a checklist of everything you need to do and organise and make sure you are well prepared.

Once your team is trained you can all work together to do recruitment drives, workshops - whatever you need to build your team and your business. If you work together you can all have success.

Before you can invite your affiliates into training session, you need to plan ahead. I’m going to answer your question on how to get your affiliates to come to your training session after discussing the preparation.

It takes time to plan a good training session. However, you and your affiliates will benefit from this preparation.

As you plan, you visualize each step of the training session. This helps you ensure that you've thought about everything that you need to say, and that you present information in a logical order. You'll also be able to prepare for points that affiliates might find difficult to understand.

After your session, you can use your plan to work out what went well – and what didn't – so that you can adapt it for future lessons.

First address this question: How to plan for your training session?

1. First you need to specify what you want for your affiliates to learn and determine how you will measure this.
Consider the following questions:

- What are the most important concepts or skills that affiliates need to understand by the end of the session?

- Why are these concepts and skills important?

- How will you know that they have understood these correctly?

2. Choose your topics

List your topics ranging from SFI BASICS, LAUNCHPAD, Compensation Plan, Benefits Chart, etc. You’ll need to explain related concepts to reach your learning objectives.

3. Organize your material

You have established from the second step a general idea of what you need to cover, draft a lesson outline. List all of the points that you need to cover, in the order in which you'll cover them.

4. Choose your presentation techniques

How are you going to teach the material to your affiliates effectively? You might need to make us of different presentation approaches to keep your affiliates engaged and to appeal to their different styles of learning. You can choose from the following methods:

- Lectures

- Demonstrations

- Discussions

- Case studies, etc.

5. Evaluation

Now, think about when you'll check that your affiliates have understood key points. Build in learning checks and question-and-answer sessions.

Also, consider how you will evaluate the session. You may want to create a simple on- or off-line questionnaire that will help you tell if the session has been successful.

6. Your Timing is crucial

Finally, think about the timing of your session. Some concepts or skills will take more time to master than others, so identify these up front, and allow your affiliates extra time to absorb or practice the material.

Make note on the time that you will allocate for each concept or section on your training plan, and make sure that you've allowed plenty of time to focus on the core concepts – if you don't have enough time, you'll need to run additional sessions, or narrow your learning objectives and reduce the number of topics that you plan to cover.

How to get your affiliates to come to your training session”

- Go to your Genealogy and identify your local affiliates.

- Communicate to them that you’re organizing training sessions. Explore all your options in making them aware of your forthcoming training sessions. Use SFI communication tools, such as Team mail, your Leadership page (you may want your local affiliates to offer them TCredits if your budget allows to attract them), SFIM Chat, emails, and so on. You’ll need to consider also the time and availability factors.

- Focus on your message that they’ll be gaining firsthand knowledge of your experience in regards to building and expanding network (duplication), moving up to TL rank, acquiring the different kinds of badges Top Enroller, VP Leaderboard, Overall Power Rand and so on to motivate them.

- Mention briefly in your message about increasing their earning potential as you share with them your tips in expanding the growth your SFI business.

There are things you need to include in your invitation that can motivate you affiliates to come.

1. The topic is something that is not found on the SFI website or something that they have difficulty in doing. Most of these are on the area of internet marketing. In other words do not make the topic very elementary.

2. Make it a venue where they can also invite their prospective affiliates to sign up under them.

3. Give incentives - there will be many incentives that you can think of. be creative. Incentives must be related to your topic ans SFI business.

4. Choose a good venue that your affiliates would love to come.

5. Give some snacks.

Dear Rev Samuel, to get your affiliates to come to your training session, you have to invite them.
In the invitation, let them know the purpose of the meeting; and a short introduction on what to expect.
Apart from the invitaion and initial preparations, the event will be colourful if properly planned.
I will summarize what you can do into two categories: Business and Fun.
Tag the training as "Training for Business Success". However, the fun aspect should come first
A sample of what you can do at the trainig session is as follows:

A) Get-Together for Fun:
1. Welcome everyone with an introductory message and how the get-together will go.
2. Start with everyone introducing themselves, location where they come from, date join SFI, and achievement.
3. Get your friends into three to four groups for any competitive game that portrays leadership and team building capability.
4. The best two teams should now compete in another game, may be crafts making.
5. The two teams should now exchange their craft with one another.

-- Short refreshment - snacks/drinks

B) Training for Business Success:
1. Discuss SFI news and latest happenings.
2. Discover your neighbor one-on-one interaction for common goals identification and creating new buddy lists.
3. In turn, everyone share their individual SFI business experience and challenges and possible solution from others.
4. Bring in the training materials and explain the procedures to follow.
5. Brainstorm and share tips and ideas on the way forward.
6. Share successful marketing strategies for your region of the world.
7. Any other business like formation of support groups for regular meeting to assist one another.

Wishing you Success Always!

Greetings Rev. Samuel!

The main thing is return of investment or benefit.

If you want your affiliates to come to your local training, you must make them aware of what they will benefit for coming to your training and what they might lose for not coming.

Since you know what your training will be about. Make it clear to them what you’ll be dealing with. Explain to them what will they benefit from that training.

I don’t like giving incentives. When you give incentives, other people get used to them and when you stop giving, they quit. I think the other way to motivate them to come. You can ask them to bring family and friends. You can also invite family, neighbors and friends. Tell your affiliates that you’ll share the new members that will join on that training. So that will be the bonus for attending the training.

I hope this will help to motivate your affiliates to attend the training.
Thank you.
