Carefully!
If you've approached them before about other opportunities that didn't work out then you'll have to be a bit smarter this time around.
Tailor SFI to what you think their strengths and interests are. For example, if they love a bargain, show them the auctions. If they are quite sociable, explain what PSA's and CSA's are in your own words and explain how if they get a few friends involved it can make them money.
You could explain ALL the benefits of SFI to me and NONE of them

I have found with family and friends it is best to show some success yourself first. Sometimes they are afraid of something being a scam, therefore, they don't like messing with the unknown.

It is best to work on your SFI, and show you are successful at it, and treat is as a business, and are earning money from that business, from home.

Some people just doesn't like it if they feel you are being too pushy about something, so Show them. Seeing is believing.

Hope this

This a very good question because it shows what your family think about what you are
doing with your computer every now and then.

The points I have here are (1) the result you have to present to your family and friends, and (2) your attitudinal changes as regards your SFI business.

Results are very powerful sponsoring or advertising tools, because they speak for themselves. If you present your income check to them after 4-6 months their interest would kindled. Your winning

In approaching family and friends it is a warm market in that they already know like and trust us. Would we simply scam them for a quick get rich "scheme"? No of course not. So their acceptance is more likely. How best to use this? Mention online internet opportunity and most people think scam and turn away no matter how valid our opportunity. Better to focus on the benefits we have discovered for ourselves and share our excitement at how we can.....e.g. find local ECA stores that ship

I've found that family and friends are actually some pretty tough customers to sell new idea's to. In my case, they have heard me time and time again say that I've finally found the best online business, only to have it crumble with no success at all.
So I believe the best way to approach family and friends is to succeed FIRST. Then you have something tangible to show them. You have results they can actually see, which in turn will spark an interest. I concentrate on my cold market for the time

Personally, I joined SFI because I was looking for a program I could work with that did not require me to get my friends or my family involved. My past experience with other companies left me with few that would even speak to me about "what I was involved with. Finding a program that allowed me to reach out to strangers and people I never met was a relief and a fresh start

TripleClicks gave me something different. I started telling my friends about the platform I was using to sell

Approaching family & friend is probably the first step for sponsoring affiliates.
If you are satisfied then it is easy to approach your friends & family because they are the people who know you & trust you.
You need not give them the complete details. Even if you tell them that you have read the details & the business is genuine,they will believe you & become affiliates.
The best place is family gathering or gathering of friends where the people are more & you

The best way to approach anyone regarding SFI, especially family and friends, is to show them what you have gained from it.
Work your SFI business until you start generating income, then you can show what you get not just how you get it.
People will always have more of an open mind if you can show them real results.
You can help yourself acheive results by promoting TripleClicks to family and friends, all purchases by your referrals generate commission for you.

Hi,

A very difficult question to answer. The best way to approach your family and friends about SFI...

- First and Foremost, you yourself should confident about SFI so that you can be able to convince them.

- Secondly show them what you have earned through SFI. Show them your TC Master Card and make them understand that this is for real.

- Give them some incentive to start like Gift Cards etc.

These were some of the ways you can influence
