Just simply tell him/her you are an on-line business operator.
If the person wants to know details, then you tell him/her you market other people's products and earn commission. You can also tell the person that you are not alone, you have a marketing team that do the same thing as you and you also earn commission from their buying or sales activities.
Delicate question. I am a person who separates his private and business affairs quite sharply. Actually in physical life I am not interested in too many people knowing what I really am. Therefore I usually answer: internet marketer and I do not even always know for which countries I work, just definitely not for my resident country. That is true, as I am in a number of businesses, not SFI only.
Usually no one asks more and all of us are happy with that.
As far as promotion is concerned, I do not believe in warm market and prefer using online methods - no close contact. I don't want my private life to be messed up by too much information given away.
That's a special case, perhaps, but this viewpoint might be also interesting, I hope so.

This should be easy. Tell them you are an independent affiliate marketer with one of the biggest affiliate marketing companies in the world. Tell them you work for yourself and can teach them to do the same. Hand them your card with your URL or gateway and tell them to check it out and come back to you.
My answer is always:
'I teach people how to create income from their own online business, created without any upfront costs, no stock and all the business training and tools provided. If you have half an hour I can show you more. Would that be OK with you?
As Always I hope this is helpful for your business and helps to bring you more success.
I would tell them that:
I have a full time job but I also work from home in my spare time as an Affilate Marketer for a huge online store called TripleClicks. Ever heard of it?
Then I would ask more questions based on his answer.
"Do you have a QR Code reader to take a picture of my QR code here on my car window?"
"Do you have time to check my website?" And I hand him my X-Card.
I offer no other information unless he shows more curiosity.

It's a good question and made me think about it for a while.
I would say that I am in marketing business with an online company that's been active for over 15 years now and that I am my own boss as I earn depending on the amount of work I do. It's like working on piece work contract, except I can't get fired unless I decide to quit!
Ask them if they have financial freedom? Are they in control of their own time? Do they have the ability to chose when and how long they will work and do they have a "Strong Futures" with an International reach. Tell them how you created all of this for yourself and your family. Let them know that it took hard work and persistence. But in working hard you were working hard for yourself to build your "Strong Future: instead of for someone else. Then show them the "Gateway" to the plan to get started.

I concentrate my answer to "I help businesses grow their contacts with customers" as for me this is the essence of SFI whether I am building a team of affiliates or ECAs.
It's unique selling point in my own mind is the ability of stores to be assisted in promoting their goods and services by SFI affiliates connecting with them for promotion and marketing.
You are a Strong Future International Marketing Group Affiliate.
It's up to you if you want to elaborate or not. But I'm sure the people who ask the question will want to know more. You'll be answering more specific questions. Before you know it you'll be promoting SFI to them. The Launchpad will cover almost everything you or other people need to know about SFI.
