To recruit affiliates face to face, you have to concentrate on the following to have that influencing impact at that given moment.

1. Your knowledge about facts and figures of SFI that make you appears like a professional. Your clarity in facts and figures would not only boost your confidence but would also improve your credibility in the long run.

2. You’re planning and structuring of the aspects of business that you share with the prospect. This would help you access the need of the prospect and help you improvise on your content to be phrased to the prospect in the manner that you address to their need.

3. Your communication skills and its delivery that is easy to understand for the prospect. Its importance is great when your prospect is not at the same level of skills that you are or even otherwise. Here you need to be patient and go slow in making the prospect understand what you are sharing with them.

4. Your own performance and profile that showcases the growth aspect to the prospect. We all want to see some proof of previously done tasks that leads to one’s success. Your robust profile and list of badges that you have attained would be a real tool to clear their doubts and have a lasting impression.

5. Showcasing the structure of SFI emphasizing on the ease, it can be dealt with. Discussing the plan and path to achieve it would help prospect to take informed decision. This would help you have quality members in your team.

6. Your marketing skills would help you ascertain that you bring your prospect to an ease before you start sharing the content of the material you are going to share.

7. Your farsightedness and professionalism would be seen when you endorse SFI in terms of your attire, stationery etc. Provide them with the gift cards, if they are reasonably their but require time to take a final jump.

In short you would be playing a role of a content planner; marketer; motivational orator; promoter and business developer. Your approach determines your success.

We are in the era of social marketing being the most popular in recruiting for new affiliates. We tend to forget this particular, also very important way of reaching out to our potential sign-ups. Face-to-face communication should not be overlooked as a viable alternative to our approach in recruiting.

Face-to-face communication can be very effective option where you can:

1) Gauge and understand reactions to information being presented.
It is well known that written, telephone and face-to-face communication are all rely on words, only face-to-face provides the ability to both, observe body language and you can hear tone of voice. These additional signals can provide you the insights that are critical in gaining an understanding of others perspectives.

2) You will develop trust and boost relationship and team cohesiveness.
The potential of developing relationships and team cohesiveness increase when there are opportunities for face-to-face interactions built on trust and also by utilizing all the signals developed throughout your face-to-face communication.

3) Face-to-face also prevent and resolves conflicts.
Proper explanation about SFI, the compensation plan for example, will assist you to provide them with correct information thus, and as a result of the discussion, it is likely to increase the positive outcomes in preventing and resolving conflicts that may arise within your team.

In summary, face-to-face communication will give you the flexibility to assess the person, the needs, the likes, their expectations and their desires, allow you to gauge if they are serious about doing SFI business.

Somewhere around 20 years ago I was involved in a MLM company where I learned that the most effective way of sponsoring was doing one on one presentations.

First of all I had to run ads so I could get some contacts who would agree to meet me in a neutral location, such as a coffee shop or restaurant. Out of 100 leads I would get about 5 or 6 appointments for one on one meeting. Out of 5 or 6 appointments only two or three showed up for the presentation.

Upon meeting for the first time I would enter into some friendly small talk to get the feel of why this person even showed up. Once I felt comfortable with the prospect I would hit the target points that I picked up on while doing our small talk.

The MLM company I was with supplied a small photo album and scripted information to share with our prospects – you turn the page to a new photo and describe all the benefits that are achieved before going to the next page. When you reach the last page it was the sign up page in which the prospect was expected to sign up as soon as you pulled it out of the note book.

For me that system never worked – I lost a lot of prospects that way. I soon learned what worked best for me when I went on a one on one.

I learned not to take the booklet with me. I would share information from the experience that I had while being an affiliate with this company and its products. I would only share enough information to gain an easy positive response from my prospect. Instead of asking “would you like eat food and earn money doing it?” I would make a statement question such as “Isn’t that easy! Make money because you eat food!” The prospect usually always said yes.

Getting my prospect to agree to a yes statement at least 3 times usually ended up with them signing on the dotted line.

In three days I signed up 34 people from one on one meetings and ended up being the top enroller for that week.

I ended up signing up over 135 people that month. I would still be there if that company hadn’t shut down just 6 months after I had joined.

Doing one on one’s is easy if you just be yourself – be friendly – ask questions about them so they can see you care – start getting “yes” answers to simple questions. The more times you can get your prospect to say yes to something the greater chance you have of signing them up.

10 Ways for Preparing to Be Effective When Doing One on One Recruiting

Main aim (ahead of giving the now interested person a card or flyer that contains your referral link): To be confident that you'll be able to easily answer any question that you are asked.

1. Plan what your first words or sentences will be, write them down, learn them, and then say them out loud to yourself, to the mirror, or to a pet.

2. Practice makes perfect - practice with family members and friends, not to recruit them, but simply to practice, as if you were still at school and saying a school oral for your parents the night before you have to say it at school.

3. Have your family members and friends ask you questions, anything that they can think of. Write down those questions.

4. Formulate your answers to those questions, or go do the research to come up with the answers, write the answers down, and then practice giving those answers out loud, on your own.

5. Add more questions to your list. Compile these extra questions after having read several pages on SFI to find suitable ones - read some questions in the Getting Started section of the SFI Forum, in the various categories beneath the SFI heading on the lower left of the SFI Support page, or read the answers to the questions that come up when you start typing in just a few letters or words in the search bar at top right of the site.

6. Practice giving answers to these new questions too, on your own.

7. When you feel you have practiced enough, practice even more. Give the list of questions to family members or friends and have them ask you the questions. Answer the questions.

8. Dress attractively to help boost your self-confidence, or wear an SFI T-Shirt, or clothes, jewelry and accessories that you bought from ECAs at TripleClicks.

9. Pack SFI business cards and flyers.

10. As you go out, heading for your first potential recruit of the day, remind yourself that you have practiced what you're going to say. You know what you're going to say. You are confident. You are a super star. Now go get 'em!

Hi Phyllida,

All of us have been recruiting since the day we could speak. We have all been making friends, trying to please or help others since we were born. So getting a person to listen to you and believe what you are saying is really not a hard thing to do. Specially if you tell the truth.

1) It's important to read and learn so you will be able to explain what SFI is, answer questions, and why you want them to join your team. Reviewing the Basics video, the Start and Launchpad is a good refresher.

Here are some other training articles to help you:
a) "How To Attract New Affiliates" at: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=198635
b) "Reaching Specific Groups Of Possible Affiliates" at:
https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=199500
c) "50 Free Or Cheap Advertising Ideas For Offline and Online Marketing!" at:
http://ucanto.com/article-free-advertising-resources.html

2) Check out your Marketing Ads at: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter
There are many different expert ads that explain about SFI, as the banners, phone scripts, and text ads.

It's important to write a short 1 minute script that you can practice and be able to say by.

3) Whether you are talking with a stranger or someone you know, it is important they become relaxed and talking. You can start a conversation about anything.
For example:
a) The shirt they have on
b) The weather
c) Their job
d) Their smile

After being in conversation with your prospect for a minute or so, you will want to start talking about SFI and giving your 1 minute script.

4) If you have a cell phone or tablet, show them the SFI website. You will be able to register them here also by going to your gateway.

After signing up, make sure to explain to your new affiliate that they will have to authorize their own devise because they will not be able to enter into their website without receiving the authorization from SFI sent to their e-mail address after they try to log in.

If you are not able to go to the website, you can pass along your gateway, name, address and phone number. Giving your business card is best. You can buy business cards or X-Cards on TripleClicks.

Make sure you get your prospect or affiliate's name, address and phone number also.

From the time you start talking about SFI until you are ready to say good bye should not take more than 5- 10 minutes. If they have more questions let them know you will call them later. You are developing an interest, not giving them a lot of information.

5) Here are some suggestions of places for finding prospects for SFI.
a) Malls
b) Coffee Shops
c) Restaurants
d) Gas stations
e) Work Place
f) Sporting Events
g) Children's Sports Practices
h) Flee Markets
Anywhere there are people!

6) What is nice about encountering a new prospect, you have made a new friend. You can see them in person anytime and talk about your SFI businesses. Also, start setting up meetings with your local affiliate or affiliates to allow them to bring their new prospects and strengthen all your businesses.

I hope this is helpful.
May you be Blessed with success.

If you want to recruit affiliates this way, to be effective, you need the following:

- Know you stuff. You must have a very good understanding of how SFI works. People will ask you questions that you may have never anticipated. You've got to think on your feet and come up with the correct answer. If you don't have the answer however - all is not lost. Tell them that you will find out the answer and come back to them with it. Don't make up one.

- Professionalism. You are representing all of us - SFI business. Dress and present yourself in a professional manner. Be friendly and polite and put a smile on your face.

- Presentation. This is what you are going to say including how you are going to say it. Plan this and rehearsed it. Don't leave it to chance because if you do, chances are you will mess it up. The prospect needs to be comfortable talking with you and believe that you are genuine in what you are saying. If they are not chances are you will not be recruiting them.

Apart from these, remember whoever you recruit, you are going to be their sponsor. Can you work with them? You prospect is probably thinking the same - can they work with you.

Face-to-face recruitment is an excellent method for obtaining high-quality PSAs. I learned it by doing, before my SFI job, the sale of life insurance and the team forming for that job, also on the principles of MLM. We did not work over the Internet - the live words only, SMS or cellular phone...
You have to look at a few important things:

1. There is no "second impression". There is only the "first impression". Translated - positive thoughts lead positive results. If you're in a bad mood, if you are tired, if you have a big problem, do not schedule a meeting. You have to be neat and clean, smiling. Notes and pencil are required. A picture is a 1000 words ...

2. Must to have a good knowledge of the SFI program, compensation plan. Must to have an answer to every question.

3. Be honest. First you build a sustainable friendship. Friends are the best collaborators.

4. Meeting in a public place - be prepared to pay coffee, drinks, cake... Meeting in the candidate's home - do not forget the flowers for Mrs. X, sweets for the kids...

Be concise. Do not boast too much SFI company. All about SFI, the candidate will find on the internet. The candidate must trust you. The candidate must recognize that you believe in SFI.

Imagine a situation: You sell, for example, life insurance. The potential buyer asks: Do you have life insurance? You say that you do not have. - No deal !!!

How can I be effective recruiting affiliates face to face and one on one?

I think its great that you want to get together with a prospective affiliate for a meeting, as you say, “face to face” and “one on one”. And I think that this will give you the best opportunity to present SFI to them and the best chance to sign them up.

This person may be from your warm market or they could be a contact made through local advertising or even a chance meeting. Either way you will have either known them before or at least they will have been in contact with you so that you could set up the meeting. So you know at least something about them.

Before you meet, go over what you do know about your prospect. Make a list of what you perceive to be their main interests. Then do your SFI homework. Get as much information as you can about SFI to address their interests. And prepare yourself to talk about and demonstrate those aspects of SFI as best you can.

And when you meet, just be yourself. Talk as you normally do. Use your own words. Express yourself clearly. Let your enthusiasm shine through. Be prepared to tell them what you do, what your experience has been. And express your pleasure that they may become a part of your team.

Then dress for the occasion. This is what I do. I have bought a SFI cap and 3 T-Shirts (1 SFI, 1 TripleClicks, and 1 Eager Zebra Games T-Shirt). So I choose the T-Shirt I think will be most attractive to them and I wear it and the SFI Cap when I meet with them.

I also make sure that I take with me some of the products that I have bought for myself from TripleClicks. For instance I have bought a leather wallet, which I use everyday, and in it is my Payoneer Master Debit Card. And, of course I am wearing my SFI Cap and T-Shirt.

Incidentally each of these products I purchased with MRP and they also included FREE shipping. So they were all free gifts I have earned from my activity in SFI. That’s another two great sales points to talk about.

And think about where should you meet. I would suggest that the best place to meet would be either at your house or theirs. Their house might be even better because you can show them how they could work their SFI business from their own home, using the space and equipment that they already have.

I wouldn’t recommend a café or other public place. You want to be able to talk freely and to be able to demonstrate SFI, so you don’t want a noisy or busy place where you might be interrupted.

And because this is an internet business I think you need to have access to a computer. My desktop computer is a 27 inch Apple iMac. It is readily portable. So I can take it with me if I need to. But it doesn’t need to be your computer or laptop.

It may be even better to use their computer or laptop. By doing that you are demonstrating to them that SFI works on any device that has access to the internet. It is also a great way to demonstrate the security features of SFI because each new device that you use has to be verified.

Of course you should take your smartphone with you – and make sure you have plenty of data available on it, so that you can demonstrate to them how to use SFI “on the run” from your cellphone.

I have a HUGE SFI folder on my iMac in which I keep all sorts of information that I have collected and downloaded from SFI. It also contains a copy of all my TeamMails, Stream Posts, and a summary of where I was at in SFI - my rank and badges, VP, the number of TCredits and MRP I have, etc - at the end of each month. I find this information very useful to show my progress in SFI over the two + years that I have been an affiliate. So I also take with me my flash drive that contains an up-to-date copy of my SFI folder. In that way I can just plug that into their computer if I want to show them anything that is on my flashdrive.

Then, at the meeting, I address their particular interests. And I make it very practical. I login to my SFI Homepage and demonstrate to them how SFI works.

I don’t think that you really need paper hand-outs – your computer and internet access provides much more – and IT IS LIVE. So, use that. In that way you are really letting the SFI websites sell themselves.

Finally, keep the meeting short – no more than one hour. And don’t overpower them with too much information. Instead, observe their attitude and response and answer THEIR questions HONESTLY.

I wish you successful recruiting.

“Recruiting Affiliates face- to-face and one-on-one” falls into the category of personal business interactions. A large segment of the business population still refrains from closing deals unless there is a face to face exchange. The hand shake is still an excellent way to judge character, trustworthiness and reliability.

Our level of integrity and our business standards will show clearly when we discuss deals one-on-one. It is the instance where our confidence and self-control play critical roles. The positive impressions our prospects pick from us will determine whether they want to be part of our teams.

In addition to full knowledge about SFI, its potential, income streams, business building and marketing techniques, operating standards, and rules of success, the way we present ourselves is the most important success factor in a face-to-face setting. We have to be fully proficient in how to be successful with SFI. We also have to know how to convey it to others. Most importantly, we have to come across as knowledgeable, confident and successful.

Reaching such level of effectiveness requires work from each one of us. Every skill is acquired through training and practice. We have to learn, to control our emotions, to articulate ideas and convey them clearly. We have to have strong self-confidence and believe in what we are doing.
If we are aware that we may have some deficiencies in any part of these qualities and skills, we have to make the determination to work on them.

There is abundance of help to address such questions. There are specialized training institutions as well as self-help material and literature. One should fully take advantage of what is available. Most of the online resources in this area are freely accessible. We just need just run a quick search.

Physical fitness is a condition of self-control. It is a good starting point toward building that aura of confidence and success with will attract potential business partners.

We can also have one or few associates or close friends with who we practice with a series of discussions about SFI and TripleClicks to test our knowledge and give us the ability and the experience in making presentations, responding to inquiries, answering questions with accuracy, while projecting self-confidence.

Do some background check and find out why your prospects might be interested to do SFI. Find out if you have a common friend or where is his/her interest is in life. Make sure you give sincere comments about your prospect, his family or business.

Find out what your prospect’s needs are that can be satisfied, if they do SFI. Is your prospect someone who is looking for a second income? Unemployed? A Student? Or preparing for his/her retirement?

If your prospect is not aware of any needs, create the need.
