By talking to them and telling that is how they are going to make max profit and all the rewards they get for doing so and you could offer help if you want to get them a gift if you can afford it.

To get more upgrades, people need to know what is in it for THEM! They already think that you are in it for your own reasons. So simply, invest in people and it will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. You, as their sponsor take the lead to grow their network, build their business, and answer their questions. When people know you genuinely are there for them then they will reciprocate the favor by going all in. Let's all go Platinum!

I feel it is very important to keep in touch on a weekly basis with your downline. Keep on motivating them, hold contests, send them business building related emails. Give them your email address, phone no and other Instant Messenger information, so that if they wish to contact you - they can do it easily.

When they achieve, recognize their achievement in the Forum, in Stream and maybe even with a personal congratulatory email to their email address.

And lastly, lead by example.

The decision to upgrade rests with the person, so what can you do?

Well, let’s look at some of the things we shouldn’t do first.

Don’t make it the first order of business when they have just registered. This could be a “red” flag to them, that you’re looking out for your own interests.
Don’t emphasize your own accomplishments; they want to know “wiifm” - “what’s in it for me”.
Don’t pry into their financial standing; this information will

What I think is important is that most people buy much of the stuff anyway, like household cleaners and vitamins.
It is surprising how much money on cleaning products they can save and how much more convenient the concentrate is to always be on hand and mix up what you need...
So I use this angle because it will be the same or less than they currently pay, and they will be building their own business.
When they put in a standing order or purchase something different each month they

With new people send them a short email every day for the first week. Tell them you are there for them, and then give them a reason to become EA. A $2.00 gift certificate works great. Also use a sentence like "I can't succeed if you don't." This conveys a need and importance to reach EA.

Give them your time and be patient with them. Not all your PSAs are going to jump right in and will want to see the SFI system working and understand how it works before they commit to a financial investment. Sometimes this can be years and trying to push them to upgrade can be the one thing that turns them away.

When they do become EAs reward them. Give them some TCredits or a gift certificate. This shows that you are not just in it for yourself but you are willing to share what THEY

It's very important to be positive but never pushy.
A big question on the minds of most who start with SFI is can I make money with this.
The answer is yes.
But just like with any other business you have to invest something.
Maybe that something is time rather than money.
It really only takes a little time every day to work on the daily tasks.
So then I show them that they can make money from many sources.
But just with any business or job it helps to follow

The best way is to keep encouraging them to visit their site everyday but the best way is to remind them that you cannot do it for them they have to want it.
