Remind them that this is pure profit, and any amount of pure profit is great, considering that some brick and mortar businesses don't see a profit for more than two years. Any profit in the first six months is really awesome. Just keep reminding her what a great job she's doing and tell her not to give up, things will get bigger and better as she grows with SFI.

all you can say is that it will get bigger each month they get more people to join them that become EA and now you also get csa's over the pass few years that you stay ea. So you got a better way to increase your check each month than ever before in sfi.

Let the affiliate know that he/she is not alone. I am sure that most if not all of us had to start small, and eventually as we use the resources of SFI to their fullest, we will see better income. That's the way most businesses are; you do not see a big income right away.

Empathize with affiliates who are unsatisfied with their first SFI commission. Tell them what yours was and assure them by explaining why you decided to stay with SFI. My first commission was 6.33! That's peanuts! But, now I've taken my 'peanuts' to make 'peanut butter' and real soon I can see how SFI will provide me some real 'bread & butter!' Seriously, building success does take time. I've been in SFI since 2007 and I didn't get my 'ahh ha' moment until 2010 - 2010! That's 3 years before

I have told the people in my team to keep their heads up as their commission will be better next month by using better and different advertising methods and by Persistence in their businesses

The affiliate feels unhappy just because he thinks that the first commission did not match his expectations. He should be encouraged with the proverb 'Rome was not built in a day'. Advise him to analyze his own activities, compare the same with the SFI tips, rate his own score and work with more vigour and energy.

Tell him that behind the success stories of most of the world leaders are series of failures but they remained undaunted and moved towards the goal. He should also be encouraged

It is important to remember that SFI is a business opportunity and you are building a residual income. That is income you will be paid over and over from a sale made one time. That is a very powerful type of income. It is income you can build on and be paid month after month, year after year. Does it take effort? Of course it does, but it is well worth it.

SFI is not a "get rich quick scheme" and if you have been around the internet very long, you will know that the "get

SFI isn't a one hit business and was never designed to be so. It's a real business and like every real business, it takes time to grows. This is because you'll have to take time to learn the principles governing it, to begin applying them, and to remain committed to the growth and success of your business. I'm sure he'll agree he spent most of his first month trying to understand what the business is all about. If that was the case, how does he expect to make so much from what he understand so little?

Anyone starting out in a business should understand that there is a learning curve: a process and various stages.

Though there are occasional cases of striking it big on the first try, essentially, any business that is been worked properly builds up momentum gradually and in a matter of time: it's spilling out profits like crazy.

SFI's compensation is very powerful. Let your affiliates know that first. Secondly, make sure they really understand the actions that really determine
