This is a very good question that should provide a variety of correct answers because it is so subjective.

I TRIED to find dirt against SFI when I was checking it out. Sure, I read some things from people that was obviously just sour grapes. I could find NOTHING that proved to be a black eye on the company, or it's founder.

The 2nd thing that convinced me was the multitude of testimonials. Sure, everybody always provides a few testimonials for their business, but SFI presents a flood of positive testimony. They can't all be bogus!

Thirdly, the "proof is in the pudding". I just dove in head first, still somewhat skeptical. An active leadership, a helpful community of affiliates, and a commission check in the mail box month after month after month left NO DOUBT that SFI IS the real deal!

I realized that SFI was the real deal for the following reasons;

1. When my upline communicated with me within minutes of me joining and has been keeping in touch with me and offering assistance ever since then.

2. When I visited Tripleclicks and tapped in to Thousands of products at affordable prices and hundreds of deals on a daily basis. Also when the ECA communicates with you to ensure that all is well with your purchase.

3. When I can earn VP that can be converted into earnings.

4. When I can earn Signup bonus and Fast Track by completing a few task. This incentive has kept me going from day one.

5. When I can Play games for free and earn MRP or T-Credits from simply just putting my knowledge to the test. Using the MRP and Bonuses earned I can increase my VP and earn much more at SFI.

6. When I can go to the forum and ask any number of questions and they are answered in a timely fashion.

7. When I can see my earnings and commission received for each month is calculated. I can earned from my CSAs and PSAs.

There are many more reasons but this is just a few.

Hope this helps!

The first thing that made me realized that SFI is the real deal is the article on launchpad #11 (Overnight Success... Not). The caption drew my attention and I read it before any other. After going through it, I decided staying because most online business never run that kind of pitch. Most of them hype everything until you join and discover otherwise.

Another attraction to SFI was the multiple income stream. Many similar schemes give one to three income streams (mostly one). With the multiple streams, it afford me to decide what suit my personality. Most times when I'm doing one-on-one recruitment, my audience get more interested joining because of the multiple streams of income.

The final ice on the cake is the fun side. After the day's task, I relax with the fun sections. These are the Eager Zebra games, Pricebenders and Forum. The games spice my inner competition spirit; Pricebenders wows me because of serious activities going on per seconds; Forum is learning zone but I laugh many times reading post on forum because of humorous replies and suggestion from fellow affiliates.

Observing the above mentioned reasons, I know SFI is the real deal.

The key points for me were:
1. There is no pressure to spend money.
2. There are no outrageous claims or promises.
3. A clear process is set out for you to follow.
4. There are real products to sell.
5. My sponsors both made contact soon after I joined.
6. The “Ask SC” and “Forum” pages provide a real sense of community, and
7. It has existed for 18 years – an eternity in internet time.
I have participated in a number of online and offline businesses, some MLM and other types. SFI has the best feel I have encountered yet.

I have to admit - I did not believe the FREE part. I waited for them to say - ok, now you came this far, you got 10 (for example) lessons for free, now you need to pay a small fee for the rest of the lessons or to continue using the SFI tools.

It is almost 2 years later and it never happened. I made a little money so far but I used it to grow my business - very much like it would be if I had a physical shop somewhere in the real world.

The information and tools available to us is free and you actually learn something.

I can see why I am not more successful - and when it is possible for me to do so I know exactly what to do to start making real money,

When you look at the badges and ranks of many other people at SFI you know - this is for real.

One thing cemented that SFI is the real deal for me. Last January SFI introduced the new Fast Track program along with NMP packs. By allowing new affiliates to buy 5 NMP in the first ten days, we started having a slew of affiliates qualifying for TL Platinum within two weeks of signing up, and even one made TL Diamond within three weeks. Most, if not all, of these people fell back several levels on the second month. In essence, TL Status had been purchased for as little as $136.50, but none of them had active teams behind them to support their status. The recent (Effective January 1, 2016) additional requirement of having active personally sponsored team members at EA2 or higher will eliminate the ability to purchase rank, and will restore respect to anyone achieving rank. This convinced me beyond all doubt that the corporation has our best interests in mind, as well as the long term survival of the business. The only way to achieve rank in this business should be to earn it, and the new rules make it so. TL status is the real deal!

In the beginning ( on the day I signed up) I suspected that SFI was the real deal because I saw that it is a trusted website. I spent time on the internet looking for something that would allow me to make money at home so I saw a banner from SFI and then I clicked on it to check it out so the free signup and offer to try this program for free as long as I wanted too made me realize that SFI is the real deal before I even signed up.

I became an affiliate and I instantly received emails from my Co Sponsor greeting me and offering me assistance then I also got my email lessons from SFI themselves so in the affiliate center I found lots of training and support for free so this got my attention.

Well three years later I am still here and I. May not be making much money but I have purchased lots of amazing products on TripleClicks which 90% of the time I receive so this also shows how SFI is the real deal. On December 6 I celebrated my Third anniversary and in this time I have seen SFI improve and grow I see how this business blossoms non stop so do you think this is a good sign?

In other affiliate marketing programs you have to pay every month for your account to be active and to be able to access the website with training materials, on SFI you are an affiliate for free every month until you decide to opt out. SFI pays you to get trained so this means by logging in daily to review the red tabs and the to do list you accumulate points and make money so after almost three years I cashed out my commissions and got my check in the mail so this also proves that this is the real deal.

The answer to your question is that I knew from the beginning that this program is the real deal so that is why I signed up.

Good question,
And I will answer this because I have gone through this experience,
If I have known this six year ago. I think by now I could have been one of SFI if not top earnersbut good earner, becausei first joined SFI 2009,but then I was too blind to see or realize that SFI is a real deal, and this cost me so much more. I was looking for online business to get rich very quick.
My answer to this question are:
(1) The years÷ due to my bitter experience with other online businesses, I realized that I was in the right place earlier but did not know, and this took me six years to realize it, just like the say! "the older the wine the best it become, fo me the years SFI has been in business made me realize that ,SFI is a real deal, because some order online businesses I joined then have been short down or close, example, most of online businesses I joine then which I preferred more than SFI. That used this payments system "libertyresave" all have been short down including libertyresave will all my money there,so to me if SFI is still waxing stronger and biger I think its real deal for me and anybody.
(2) The get rich quick thing÷ this was another factor that made me realized that SFI is real deal for me,due to my past experience with all the so called "get rich quick" online businesses,which 99% and half are lies,I came to know that SFI is not that kind and type of business, in SFI you most work both hard and smart, and this is one factor that has made so many of your down line or new affiliates not serious,they though is a get rich quick thing,
(3) The learning and working process.÷ this part is another wander to me,because 90% of order online businesses like SFI uses words like "NO Experience needed", NO selling, No working etc,all this are lyers. But in SfI, SFI knows you need experience in order to work well, that's why they include all the trainings and training marterials you will need, after all when you go for job inter views about 60% to 70% of the employers will ask you of how many years experience, SFI knows you will need help along the way, so they include the asked forums etc.
(4) Another factor was the simplicity and humble mind of the president of SFI, in so many online business organizations like SFI, you may never hear from the president,they hide themselves beyond reached,because many of them are doing it with bad motives, but not with SFI, I was shocked the first time that was two months ago I ask questions in the forum, the president of SFI was the second person. To contribute and shear his ideas.
(5)The next one is Help from other affiliate÷this was another point that made me know SFI is real deal for me,whenever you are confused about anything, if only you can ask in the forum you will
Multiple answers and ideas.
(6) The games section, which I call SFI play time, there is a saying that says " work and no play make Jack a doll boy" SfI knows this so they include playing of games for refreshing, because after training and working, you need to have fun to refresh yourself.
I just hope this help

In answering this questions, I am lead by my experience on "How to make money online with some programs that you do not believe could fail you in many years but fails". Based on my experience with SFI, it catch my real deal going by the points I enumerated below.
1. A real deal program is a spam-free program. Here, SFI catch my imaginations. SFI is not a get-rich -immediately program. And for the past 18 years, history has it that, nobody or member has ever complained of been Scam.
2. A real deal program has no limited ways of earning for members. With SFI, you have many ways to earn. This is great.
3.SFI has a "based sources of survival". If you are like me that loves SFI, you may have came across of some words that "the more versa points and leadership positions, the more is your percentage from the income pool". Where is the Income pool?. The best and the most popular online store, the Tripleclicks.
So Sfi continue to grow and income earned by affiliates grows as Tripleclicks grows.
4. Support Desk. Have you ever faced any difficulty in the course of your engagement with SFI and you submitted a ticket that fails? No, you receive answers and clues within 24hrs. Most other programs do not even have support backing talking of you getting an answer. SFi is a real deal.
5.Hope for retirements. With SFI , you have a future. Sfi takes cares of this when they called it an income building program. You earn income for life with SFI. Can you tell me of any program that takes cares like this?. I have not came across of any. SFI is the real deal.
6. Go with the crowd. SFI membership cut across the world. Over 10 million members can not be wrong. 18 years to the cap, the program still waxing stronger. SFI is the real deal.
