If you must welcome new affiliates using the phone, the first thing to do is to introduce yourself simply and quickly, ie.

“Hi, how are you? This is your Sponsor in SFI, Luckie Vickie!
Just want to welcome you personally to my Team, and see if you need help in getting started?”

Depending on the response, you can then assuage any feeling of hesitance or unreadiness to start by promising to send an email.

“Would it help you better if I send you a E-mail with simple guidance and procedure for you to follow?”

If the answer is yes, then you’re in business.

To contact your warm market, it would also depend on the relationship you have with your prospect.

For a relative, a simple, casual phone call will do. Try this:

“Hi, cousin! How are you going? Are you doing anything special today?
Remember you asked me about my latest project? I have just won another auction for 99c! If you’re free today, I’ll come around and show you.”

For a friend, try this for a Friend's Challenge.

“Hi, Best Friend,
Are you still up? Just want to share an exciting news- I just won in Knockout Trivia/Gold Streak/Card King and I’ve started an Uber League. How would you like to join me? You'll enjoy the games. Let's see how you can beat me or I, you!”

These are only some of the sample scripts you can use. Try and see what happens.

Whatever you do, know why you’re calling, prepare the call, set the ball rolling by making a statement and asking question.

Put a smile or laughter on your voice that can be infectious, especially when calling a friend or members of your family who live far from you.

And focus on being of service to them for maximum effect. Then think of the next step with a mutually-agreed follow up appointment.

One of the old methods of working an affiliate program like SFI was to incorporate the use of telephone marketing. This is done by running ads that have prospects calling your business phone if they want more information.

I used this system by running ads in local and national newspapers for people to call a toll free 2 minute recorded message and the message would direct them to leave their phone number and the best time to reach them. This system does draw the contacts and it stays within all the “no-call” laws and spamming laws because your contacts are calling you and giving you permission to call them.

It takes someone with thick skin to be able to work a phone campaign properly. The reason I say this is because there are many people who will answer your ad just to make fun of what you are doing and you will get a lot of people who gave you phone numbers that are no good. You will also receive people who will have you call them so they can hang up on you when you’re sharing the information.

When using the phone methods please remember that that in many countries (including the United States) you cannot call someone who has not given you permission to call them. You can rack up some serious fines against you by doing this.

As far as contacting your warm market by phone is a great way to gain prospects and sign-ups and it is legal because they you personally know them. But I must say you should not use a script to talk to your warm market.

The reason I say this is because most people (friends and relatives also) may hang up on you as soon as they can tell that you are using a sales pitch on them. This can destroy your relationships with your warm marketing.

Learn your SFI and TripleClicks business well enough to talk to your warm market as you would talk to your best friends and then bring up information about your fantastic business and how excited you are to be able to share the information with the people you care about the most.

If anything is written at all just use an outline of what you want to share so you will not forget to cover important selling points in trying to gain them as a prospect and affiliate.

Speak from a script and you will get hang-ups and enemies.

Speak from the excited enthusiasm, and passion that is in your heart and you will gain sign-ups.

Just after the Sign Up, the affiliate's mind set will be on making money rather considering it as Business. So they will be anxious in asking lots of questions regarding SFI.

You can use the sample phone script found at the Marketing center and modify it accordingly to suit your own personality:

(https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter?pg=1&form=MarketingAids&category=SFI&type=Phone+Scripts&free=&shape=&color=&size=&language=&theme=&currency=&favorite=0)

Or create a simple scripting system to guide your business conversations in welcoming your new affiliates

Here is a simple guide in creating your phone script effectively:

- Give your new PSAs a ready series of statements to make them feel welcome and a good impression right from the start.

Connect at the beginning. Most bad scripts start right off talking to their new affiliates almost nonstop. After the “Hi, is this _______?” they just start right in pitching their business opportunity. Try pausing in the opening and connecting, and rather than using the old, “How are you?” try “Can you hear me OK?”

- Use the word “Briefly “in the beginning of your conversation. Most people you speak with are busy, so prefacing what you’re going to say with the word “briefly” helps put your new affiliates at ease — and let them know you respect their time.

- Briefly make a description of most new affiliates’ reason for joining online home business and your benefit or solution: “The reason I’m calling is that we help many people like you who are looking for extra income by helping them to establish and grow their own SFI business (provide benefits here). I’d like to ask just a few questions, what are some of the things that you’re looking to accomplish in joining SFI?” Make sure to write down what they say for future references.

Making sure that you consistently uses language and messages in a way that reflects your SFI business vision, mission and culture especially to your new PSAs.

Scripting your approach in welcoming your new affiliates is just like scripting a performance. Every great actor or actress has a script that he or she not only commits to memory, but embodies it, so there is honesty and belief in the performance.

Your new affiliates are your audience. So develop some scripts and start testing them.

Practice really does make perfect, and eventually you'll find your scripts become a natural part of your vocabulary, presented in your own personable and "non-sales" way.

In contacting your warm market, it seems to me that you’re question implies presenting the SFI opportunity to them. If not, you can just simply express your warm welcome as you normally do as with your friends and family.

Just in case you’re presenting the SFI opportunity to them, here is a sample script for contacting your warm market:

Calling your friend, or family member just like you normally would:

“Hey (their name) what’s up?” (Whatever you would normally say, when you start your conversation with them).

“Listen (their name) I don’t have a lot of time right now, but I wanted to ask you a quick question. If earning extra money sounds interesting for you, and it fit into your time schedule, would you be interested in a Business Opportunity?”

If they say yes: “Great, right now I am working with one of the top networking companies in the world. My company is currently looking for people to help expand their business both locally, and internationally. We could set up a call tonight at 6:00 or 7:00 or if you prefer we can meet at a coffee shop which would be best for you?”

Important note: Get a definite time, and unless they have time right then, get off the phone right away. Don’t try and answer their questions. Think of it like a movie that need to be watched completely to get the whole story, you don’t want to ruin the movie by giving away key stuff of your offer. Allow some time and let them ponder and they’ll eventually contact you.

If they say no: “Ok I’m just checking, I gotta go, Thank you for your time and I’ll talk to you later. Have a great night, or day. (Remember to make your conversation with them as if you’re in a hurry and you don’t have a lot of time right now, sometimes people who say no will get curious about why you asked and will want to know what is up. Until they show positive interest, don’t get into it with them, you’re not going to “Sell” them, you’re just sorting. Eventually you might ask for a referral at this point, but not until you feel comfortable.)

Good day Marlene,

Would answer this question based on my Outbound Call Centre Experience which has help tremendously in my SFI business.

Some good phone scripts to welcome new affiliates or prospects should start with "You" introducing yourself e.g Good morning, Good afternoon or Good Evening sir/Madam

If using your business name, then you go further to say, i am a representative of Tripleclicks an E commerce site.

There after, you please take permission for the person to give few minutes of their time to tell them more about SFI/Tripleclicks which must be in simple, clear and concised English for the receiver to understand what you are selling.

Please always give room for questions and never shovel your opinion on your customers. if they are interested in making purchases on Tripleclicks or knowing more about SFI / Tripleclicks you can now give them your link.

Finally, you would thank them for their time and wish them a nice day.

All the best

Like everyone else, I am turned off by canned speeches or sales pitches. My input is "keep it simple for them and for you." Don't try to explain the whole business over the phone. Most people's ears don't last that long!

I might say something like, "Hey Jackie, I have a business you might be interested in. Can I send you some information about it?"

Another approach might be, "John, I ran across a way to make money online. Would you be interested? I can send you some information."

An approach for a potential ECA, "Listen, have you ever considered marketing your products internationally? I think your products might sell well. I'll send you some information."

Another approach to a potential ECA might be, "Hey, a like your store. Have you tried marketing online? Online marketing is a big business these days. Would you mind if I sent you some information on how to market your products online?"

Still another potential ECA approach might be. "Wow, you have an incredible selection here! Would you be interested in listing your products in our international catalog?"

Hello Marlene,

Maybe being very friendly, having a strong introduction which captures attention quickly.

Always be Honest, no matter what. Don't misrepresent anything.

"Hello (person's name),

My name is Marlene, I would like to Welcome you into our SFI Community and also as a part of my team. I am your SFI Sponsor, and I will be available for you, should you have any questions or need any type of assistance, on getting your own SFI Business started towards success.

Have you had a chance yet to review our SFI website? Do you have any questions that I might be able to answer for you at this time?

Depending upon their answer, will determine if you should carry the conversation on any further, but at the same time, with you leaving the door open for them to be able to contact you at a later time, if they desire.

If conversation should continue, stress some of the greatest points to them, from your own perspective and why they might want to consider your suggestions. (Be direct and right to the point).

Some examples:

How they can start Selling products and begin to earn an income in TripleClicks, to thousands of other Tripleclicks members

The value VPs and how we can earn VPs, just by working some daily, weekly and monthly tasks

How team building will lead to more success

How Fun working in SFI can be and why

Support, there is a lot of support available, mention the types of Support

Benefits and how they can achieve some of the benefits by working in SFI and TripleClicks, etc...

By using your own experiences while communicating to your new prospect, this could capture their interest to take the next step with SFI.

Try to be strong while you are making your phone calls, for there just might be some rejections along the way.

Always remember that it is not you that they are rejecting, that it is the business that they are not interested in.

Review Gery's Rules of Success # 19, to gain your Positive attitude to keep on moving forward.

I do not know if the following will assist but here it goes...

When I answer the phone and the telemarketer on the other end starts reading robotically from his/her script, the urge to say 'no thanks' and hang up the phone is almost irresistible. Few things will turn me off faster than hearing a salesperson recite from a phone script. But that doesn't mean that using a script cant not be an effective tool for you to use to promote SFI to others by way of the phone.

\I believe phone scripts fail to reach me as a prospect because they are written like sales literature. Those smooth, polished, convincing phrases work in a brochure or even an email, but spoken out loud they will stilted and artificial – or worse, slick and 'sales-y.' Phone scripts should sound like you do when you talk casually.

So in response to your own question, I think you may want to consider your personal experience of what worked and did not work and ask others too. Duplicate the strategies that you have heard from a phone recruitment done towards you or others that seem to be successful and feels naturally occurring to draw your listener towards you and not away - like hanging up.

I would suggest keeping a pen handy when you call so that you can jot down any new objections you encounter along with your response. So you may then review the response at a later time to prepare a script or comment to respond better for the next time.

Phone scripts will get stale eventually so like new marketing roll-outs you'll want to come up with new and more effective ways to grab the listener's interest. Or a colleague might lend you her calling script, with some powerful language that you want to use yourself - the power of duplication at it's best.. Be sure that you'll modify your benefits phrases to match the new product details that roll out of our TripleClicks store or from SFI. The best way to decide which changes to keep and which to discard is to try them out. When you have a significant change you're considering for your script, use the new wording on 25 calls... then switch to the old script and make 25 more calls. If the new version gets you more results than the old version during this test, you should keep the change.

Happy Scripting during the Holiday Season.
