Oh Yes!!

This is your opportunity to promote the SFI business opportunity in the very best way, in person and "face to face"!

We are in the "education of people business" and in person your excitement, sincerity and passion for the SFI opportunity is much better appreciated than they are "on-line".

Remember, before we had the internet, "word of mouth" advertising or sharing with people we met day to day, was how "referral marketing" or "network marketing" worked.

Now we can reach many more people with the internet, but it is difficult to beat the "personal touch"!

SFI has professional sales materials put together for you (SFI x-cards and gift cards as example) and together with a solid knowledge of the SFI business model, enthusiasm, desire and a winning smile will do wonders in building your SFI business with people in person and "face to face" :)

You are probably at more of an advantage than an affiliate marketing via the Internet. You have the opportunity to establish a genuine relationship with your prospects. You can initiate discussions about everyday events that can lead you to what your prospects really need. If you are giving out free stuff, you are especially at a great advantage. Your prospects are more likely to remember that you gave them a flyer or gift card than if you were marketing online.

To get off to a productive start head over to the “Affiliate Center” and click on the “Marketing” tab. A drop down menu will appear. Select “Marketing Aids”. On the left side of this page you will be selecting your Program, Type, Free, Shape, Color, Size, Language, Theme and Currency. Under “Type” choose one or a combination of the following: Flyer, Post Card, X-Card, Brochure or Gift Card.

Purchase some of these marketing tools because they are very inexpensive and provide instant value to your prospects. I would begin with gift cards, because it is hard for a prospect to turn down the $10 value, especially if you have met with them in person and they already know who you are. They could always benefit from Triple Clicks, whether they want to be an SFI Affiliate or not.

I would not give out the SFI “Program” card unless my prospect inquired about the organization I was a part of. The reason for this is that you want to target your marketing to those who are interested in what you have to offer the same as you would if you were marketing on the Internet.

This is also a perfect opportunity to find ECA’s (E-Commerce Associates). Although there are no marketing aids available at this time for the ECA program, you can create one yourself and get it approved by SFI, assuming you are at least a Bronze Team Leader.

Here affiliates do online marketing because SFI is an online business. Many affiliates never even consider offline marketing. But the fact is, there are huge opportunities for successful offline promotions.

Offline Marketing can mostly be done without spending much money. Its better than spending your money on online marketing where you get large QUANTITY of dormant affiliates.

Yes, offline marketing will not get you that great QUANTITY, but the QUALITY is excellent. That is, the people you get from offline marketing will generally be much more responsive and active. After all, an active down-line is all that we need to be successful.

Since you have experience with most of the offline marketing strategies, I personally feel offline marketing can be even more effective for you to succeed in your SFI business rather than with online marketing.

Best of luck to you...

I believe "marketing is marketing." Whether you are online or offline, it is still marketing. When you are online marketing, you have a further reaching arm. You have the ability, with online marketing, to reach a greater audience.

In offline marketing, you have the ability to reach a more genuine & receptive market. What I mean by that is that those that actually sign on will be "real people" and they will also be people that you, as a leader, have already connected with. They already trust you and know you, so a large portion of your leadership has already been taken care of.

Again, the thing that I want you to remember is that whether you market in person or behind a computer - KEEP MARKETING!!!!!!

Sure. Offline marketing can be as effective as online marketing for SFI. Just keep in mind these few things.

1) SFI is an online business - so offline marketing should be used to supplement and enhance your online marketing efforts.

2) Offline marketing will be more effective in terms of conversions & sign-ups, but online marketing will be more efficient in terms of cost per contact & will deliver a far wider reach too (global).

3) Always work with your strengths - add the power of your offline marketing experience/ capabilities to your online efforts.

With your offline marketing strengths supporting your online efforts, you will be well on your way to leadership and success in next to no time. All my very best.

All these qualities you possess puts you ahead of the pack! Personally I've done both types of marketing and hands down I prefer introducing SFI and TripleClicks opportunitys in person. Not only does it make it more personable, I find it much easier to explain, answer questions and simplify things verses communication through an email.

Anytime theres an opportunity to present my business I'm ready! I've set-up booths at the local flea market, recently I've reserved a booth at an event simply to introduce SFI and Tripleclicks. Most importantly the ECA opportunity and I use my store as an example. Yes I also use online marketing as well and it's best to use both. However I honestly do well when it's face to face.

So my freind if you possess all these skills make sure your using them! Wishing you much success.

Absolutely! Think of the days before we had internet, this is how business was done. It's just that now because of the power of the internet we are able to reach people in other areas of the world. My first two people where folks I know in person and I have invited other people I know as well.

Don't limit yourself to only getting people online. There are countless ways you can find people in your area. The Gift Cards are an excellent way to bring PRM's and they can become PSA's also. Get people interested in what you do, strike up conversations with people where ever you go. Don't come across like you are trying to sell them something, have the attitude that you are going to help them and you have the answer for their financial needs and retirement.

Hi Ann,
I actually think that both (online and offline marketing) will have a very important role in growing your business, so to combine them is a really good idea.
Talking to people "face to face" may be the best way to promote SFI.You will be able to show your enthusiasm for SFI,to answer any questions they may ask,to build a personal relationship with your future PSAs.
And you will be able to find out if potential PSAs are really interested and will be hard workers.You may get less sign ups than with online marketing,but you'll get quality affiliates.
You can also use SFI and TripleClicks Gift Cards,pass them to those who seem interested.
Help them to start and keep on working with them.Teach them all about duplication.Lead by example.
I hope you'll find this answer helpful and wish you a lot of success.

YES.

For me an offline marketing strategies can be as effective as the online marketing because it is more personalize. You can tutor them on how to get started. You can guide them how confirm registration and you can explain to them the to-do-list actions and launchpad lesson as well. Your PSA is closed to you or if not you have personal connection to one another. You can evaluate them whether he/she is really interested to the business you offer BUT its time consuming and quiet more expensive.

While in Online marketing strategies, you can send as many invitation as you want to, you can send E-cards through their email addresses, You can advertise either at free ad sites or in paid ad sites. As a result, you have more sign ups but they did not even confirm registration. You can make follow-up regularly through weekly mailer but there are possibilities that they were not able to read it.

Its better to do the combination of the offline and online marketing strategies because we can filter quality PSAs from quantity of sign ups

Hope this helps

Not only that it could be with same effectiveness, it could generate you more sign ups and working affiliates. I can say that you have great advantage in your previous experience. On line marketing is great but nothing can replace direct one to one marketing.

Make difference between using technologies like Skype for direct contact and adds you place on pages and social media. If you are trying to build strong supporting team you should always pay attention to their needs and commit your time to their development.

Nothing can replace your smile, body language, words as they depict your confidence and your commitment to this business.

Just to clear up things you should use all methods simultaneously. And very fast you will see wonderful results.
