Face to face recruitment of affiliates is one of the most effective and powerful method of recruitment.

For doing such type of recruitment you can focus on the following:

1. Awareness Camps: Most of the community centers; commerce department of government; colleges or event managers’ organizers hold such type of camps to make people aware of various ways to set up livelihood for youngsters, unemployed and for those who look forward to set up their own business. You can own a cubicle to dissipate information about SFI and lead to have direct recruitment of affiliates.

2. Job Exhibitions or Job Fairs: Here companies make aware about the availability and benefit pertaining to the job in the job market. This is again a place to target for as you get the right prospects to talk to and impress them to convert into affiliates.

3. Open House get-together: You can target your warm market here which would include family, friends, relatives and neighbors.

4. Seminars: You can choose a location and advertise about the seminar that you would conduct to address to maximum people at one go. This in turn can lead you to face to face closure of recruitment of affiliates.

5. Community centers: You can organize a campaign to spread the advantages of second source of income that can also be willed to the people to create an effect that leads to people contacting you. Subsequently this would lead to face to face affiliate recruitment.

Apart from all these listed options you can find your ways on the basis of the following:

1. You should get the right segment of people and your address should direct to their needs and ease of doing SFI.
2. Your preparedness to address to the concerns of your prospects impromptu.
3. Ease of addressing in context to using a common language that people in the place would understand.

With all this you are there to have a start that can take you to a different level all together.
Remember to use SFI stationery, apparels, and lapel pins etc to showcase that you are proud to patronize SFI and look professional. You can also distribute X Cards, Gift cards through some contests and flyers with your contact details as some may contact you later.

If you do it right, result would be right.

In the process of building your SFI and TripleClicks business you will grow accustom to the many different ways of enrolling new affiliates. You will probably find out that you may be good at two or three different ways for signing up your prospects.

One of the best ways to acquire affiliates that have the greatest potential for becoming an active affiliate is from the “face to face” method of prospecting.

This method is the strongest because people join up with other people more than joining a company or program. They want that personal touch; they want to see who they may be joining up with.

To really be good at face to face or one on one sign-up you are going to need to learn a follow up system. The reason I say this is most people will not want to “sign on the dotted line” when first meeting them.

Another way to say this is: when you go to the good places to “recruit” affiliates you need to get “recruiting” out of your mind and have a mindset of gathering contacts or leads. Most people will not give you the time needed to sign them up on your first meeting and if you are trying to do this then you are blowing many good contacts out the window.

Your main goal should to create a friendly connection with your prospect, gather their email address or home phone number any method you can so you can get in touch with them again. Ask them to write down any questions they may have and you will contact them in a couple of days to answer their questions and give them more information on the business.

Important point: Remember where you met them; write it down in your follow up notebook. This way when you contact them again you can say: I am so & so we met at so & so and I shared with you about a good home based, part-time second income source.

As to the best places to gather your face to face leads are anywhere you go. If there is more than one person in the same place you are, then it is a good place to get a lead or two. You don’t need 100s of people around to have a good prospecting area. As a matter of fact the busier the place is the less likely someone will stop to give you the time of day let alone listen to a short business proposition.

Make sure you give them a business card and a flier not much more than that – you want to spark an interest not a decision.

The answer to this depends on how good you are at approaching total strangers. You could try face to face recruiting first of all with people you know, even if only slightly. You could try prospecting amongst your work colleagues, but be careful not to intrude on work time - either yours or theirs. You could share your new business with people from your church or club or sports group or whatever other community group you are involved in.

If you are comfortable in talking to strangers, you could start a conversation with someone sitting next to you in a train or bus. I like this method myself and have made several sales of my book on the train and one on a ferry trip. Always carry some SFI ID cards and brochures with you, so that when your conversation comes around to what you both do, you will be equipped. If you own a tablet and can carry it, you are even better equipped to show the site if your fellow traveller shows interest. Don't forget to get their email address when you say good bye.

Lastly is approaching a total stranger. I once did a course where we were sent out in pairs to approach total strangers and give away a book on some occasions and a five dollar note on another. Even giving away things, I found it hard to accost someone like this, but I did improve with practice. If you are willing to try this, there are plenty of places where people gather, shopping centres, railway stations, parks etc. Approach someone who doesn't look like they're in a hurry and smile a greeting. Then say 'hello' and something casual about the weather or the day, or the activity around, and if they are responsive, you can take it from there and see if this may be an opportunity to share SFI.

The other way is to look like you're handing out things or doing a survey, especially if you're wearing something with an SFI logo on it. People in a hurry will avoid you, but some will be curious and stop to talk. I have found that walking the streets with a backpack full of flyers which I put into letterboxes gives me some opportunities to talk to people. People who are in their yards when you pass are usually interested in what you are distributing and you can hand them the leaflet instead of putting it in their letterbox. This gives you an opportunity to chat with them. Of course there will be hostile people and you mustn't allow them to get you upset.

I have tried all these methods myself and I personally prefer the more friendly method of chatting with the person next to you as you travel. You have more time together to develop a conversation and build rapport. You will talk to more people in the street, but most only briefly and very few will have the time to talk long enough to build rapport or go further than handing them a leaflet which you hope they will read rather than chuck in the nearest bin.

Good luck with your face to face prospecting!

Business exhibitions/fairs where you have rented space/a stall would be a good place to start your campaign to recruit face to face affiliates. The advantage of this is that you have a steady flow of people walking in to target.

There are a few advantages in this set up because the fair could be over 1/2 days or the weekend and you have the time to explain the SFI concept to the prospects. This means that you would have to be well prepared with all your marketing aids and have a professional set up to attract and create interest in your stall.

Colleges and canteens or cafes are another avenue where you can pick up important leads but it will depend on how you approach this.

For colleges, it is ideal because you would already announce this exercise on their notice board and this reaches a greater audience. You should be prepared to have a low turnout as students have a variety of commitments so it would not be possible to get a 100% attendance unless you have a specific incentive for them to be present.

Cafes and social places are a great face to face contact but people may feel intrusive if your approach is forceful so be careful how you set up your space. As customers wait to be served you could sign up people easily.

Planning remains a crucial factor in whatever mode you choose. Ideally you come across people face to face all the time but what works for you should be adopted. Take into account, culture barriers, personal space and be ready to accept rejections in such an environment.

Best of luck!

Hi,

That is really a good question. You can recruit affiliates almost anywhere it all depends on your approached. What ever circle you are in, depending on the occasion or place you can add you two cents about SFI in your conversation with the person.

Now, it does not have to be a long story, bring to the door give them your card (SFI) growing a second income, and if they are really interested they will contact you.

Remember, you can do this any where you. Example; on the bus, train, plane, taking a walk, after church, attending special events. You don't have give them the whole story, just a bit to get them to the door, because not everywhere is an appropriate place for doing so, and not everyone or fish will bite. It is all about the conversation you have with that individual at that time and how you can incorporate SFI in that conversation

Be skillful, and professional in doing this, and you will be successful in doing this after a few times trying.

Success, Hope this help.

Good day Dianne,

This indeed is an interesting question, and i must say that each and
everyone has been given the opportunity to recruit affiliates anywhere and one on one.

Places could be schools, at your office, restaurants, car wash, hotels, bars etc. Having your tripleclicks x cards with your contact number behind the card or flyers being distributed should be made available at all times so that once we have educated our prospects, we can drop our card which would make it easier for recruitment.

For recruitment of affiliates one on one to be effective, one must consider:-
1. Level of Education of the new recruit.
2. Age of affiliate.
3. Langauge Barrier.

Considering the above factors, effective communication is very key as first impression and presentation of our businesses could either make it a success or a failure.

There is a saying that you ar being addressed by the way you are dressed, having this in mind, presenting SFI, you must be well mannered and well dressed to give the aure of Professionalism.

Also, talking with a prospect one on one, we should be confident when marketing SFI, to remove any layer of doubt. Someone marketing a product without confident would be perceived as one that is not sure of what he is marketing and the prospect loses interest in the product. Inorder words, market what you believe in and be confident so as to gain the trust of your new prospect.

Also, talking with a prospect, we should highlight the importance of your product and what differentiates it from other products. For instance, you share with your prospect of the initial online business that you were doing and how you heard about SFI, tried it out and how successful you have been.

Also, communicate with our prospects in a simple and concised manner. This is the area in which we match the level of education of the prospects for ease of understanding. This is very important so that the new prospects can understand everything they are being offered to him/her before joining.

Also, having a detailed information about the company (SFI) and your upline would build the trust they have. This is where you show them proven track records of the company, your achievements as well as your upline.

Also, recruitng affiliates one-one, we must be ready to answer a number of questions that might arise during the course of recruiting. Why we are answering them so that when they join, the have an insight to SFI and would be able to duplicate our actions.

In summary, regardless of where ever you meet your prospects, effective communication is very key to any business as it makes it easier to communicate with both your existing as well as new prospects which will help effectively in building your team.

All the best

The best places to recruit affiliates face-to-face are places where you feel the most comfortable because then you know the types of people around there well enough to have a chance to recruit. For me, I tend to take in events at coffee houses and bars that have "pop-up" stores in them--there, you can generally find relaxed people, often enough those who have products to sell. After I help them build an ECA store, it's a short trip to getting those people to sign up for SFI because they can broaden their ability to earn commissions.

Other people will undoubtedly have their own favorite places, like farmer's markets, flea markets, arts and crafts fairs, and so on. It all depends on what crowd you understand best.

Hi my friend,

It depends a lot on who you are addressing. If it's a Your friend, then it is best to recruit through casual, everyday conversations in a coffee shop, restaurant, gym, etc. Of course, you will not immediately spout offer, but put a small intrigue. When interlocutor show attention, then start advertising :)
You can visit Your close friends. The support from spouse and family is reassuring.

If you are talking to a larger group of unknown or less known people, it is best to find or rent an official place. It would be good if this place has a projector for presentations. You must have a good knowledge of all aspects of the SFI business and expect all kinds of questions. You must show that you feel good in this business. So you get confidence. Prepare written prospectuses and application forms with Your gateway links in QR code format. Take care of Your look. Be good promoter.

Best wishes and greetings!!!

For starters, our family, friends, co-workers and business relationships are the first prospects to whom we can introduce SFI face to face. This will give us some experience on reading people's reactions, answering questions and objections, while building our self confidence. After we have exhausted this warm market, we can then prospect elsewhere.

Many employed adults dream of leaving their 9-to-5 jobs for self-employment. This is particularly true in industrialized countries, specially in North America (US and Canada). We may be around them without noticing, until we strike a conversation about work satisfaction and the "ups-and-downs" in the lives and salaried employees. Those are the primary prospects for a face-to-face presentation on SFI.

The best place to meet such people is around their workplace. If you currently hold a salaried employment, or you have been in the recent past, your location of employment is a good place to start, provided that you are very skilled and can be very discreet in your interactions with prospects. Lunch break time can be very appropriate for that purpose.

If you are no longer holding a salaried employment and plan to use this strategy for growing your SFI business, it may be worthwhile to assess all the opportunities available in your city. A thorough and comprehensive investigation will help you discover that there are many business networking groups that meet on a regular basis.

To identify local business networking groups, it may use useful to contact
- the chamber of commerce,
- professional organizations, and
- other business clubs.

The above is a formal approach to face-to-face prospecting

For the informal approach, any opportunity you have talking to people is good for face-to-face recruiting. You do need to be always ready, mentally prepared and good at handling objections.
