This is a touchy subject, as your family members may feel obligated to sign up, but then not do anything meaningful, or become a real discouraging element in your life.

I reccomend that you first recruit your family to support you by becoming TripleClicks members. Send them Ecards, write a status note on your Facebook page announcing your new business, send them examples of items they might like, give them a gift card. This will be the foundation of your sales success.

Use your share-its to notify them when you win something, post about the auctions every day, and announce your progress with the company.

As they see your success, the ones who are interested will approach you. Then you can share the business with them and know they will be great partners!

This is a explosive question in my family.......

Depending on the cultural background of the person answering, as this is a global membership and many cultures are involved,
you will get many differing perspectives and opinions.

This is all good but it really comes down to each and every family and the uniqueness of each.
The right answer depends on your family culture and uniqueness.

With that said, I will give you my answer based off my family and my culture and my experience.
It goes like this. In the United States, many don't understand the idea of network marketing
Unlike other countries and depending on where in the United States one is from can further add to the
complexity of committing such an act.

To cut to the chase. If I were basing this question solely on my family, the answer would be:

No way would I begin to broach such a topic as I would be shunned for such an act. Don't get me wrong.
I love my family and we are close but network marketing has never gone well amongst my family,
I have seen it goes as bad as pissing everyone off to the point no one will talk to you and your friends
and family will abandon you if you pressure them to get in. I have been through this many times
over many ventures and learned a long time ago, that sometimes family is better left alone if unless
you want friction and tension and nobody talking to you, I wish I could be more positive but that is
my answer if it were me and my family.

With that said, if you are at a point where success has so blatantly taken you over and you are
just loaded with with money and fame and fortune from your efforts then sure why not get the
family involved because now you don't have to approach them. Actually, it will be quite the opposite,
you will be running for the hills as now everyone wants in as you are now popular amongst
friends and family. Why. You got money.

I hope I put this in a way that makes sense and I am not trying to be funny or sarcastic in any
way but rather honest and up front and say it is truly a family to family type question and no real
one correct global answer that will apply to all.

Good luck.

Good question, and very difficult to answer depending on the relationship with your family member.

The first thing to remember is that most family members will be critical of your involvement and may even be a serious deterrent to YOUR vision and dreams. Take this into consideration before asking them to be involved in YOUR business.

On the other hand, some may jump at the opportunity. In this case you must provide support and encouragement for them to continue.

I've only been in SFI for less than a month and I've hesitated to involve a family member until I can show "actual" success and earnings.

I have been assigned many CSAs and regardless of my constant encouragement and support they are not motivated, or for whatever reason, ignore communications and attempts to help them.

The bottom line. Understand a family member's needs, motivations and desires. You may be able to get them to sign up, but if they aren't willing to work at it you are simply wasting your time.

Recruiting family members to join SFI has both good and bad effects.
The good effects are: We can easily connect if you have certain topic about SFI that is not clear to you. If in the last minute you runs out of some versapoints, you can readily approach your family member, and surely they are at once there on your side to help you, because there is a saying that "charity begins at home." If one member succeed, for sure you will all succeed, because each one of you is open to all the criteria of what SFI will bring to all of them.
The bad effects are: If certain problem arises with their SFI business the RECRUITER will be the one responsible for all their loss. All the burden was placed on the recruiter side. It's my simple opinion.

For me, it's better to strive alone, whatever happens I can take it. No one is to blame. Thanks

It is only a good idea to recruit those who are willing to work and really have a genuine interest to succeed. If the shoe fits wear it! That means if your family members are really interested in knowing more about SFI then you share with them but in the end they are the ones who have to make the decision you cannot make it for them.

Your job as an affiliate is to sponsor as many people as you can, that means you share information about SFI, and if they want to know more then you give them more details and you even give them your personal gateway so they can read more. The saying goes you can take a camel to the water but you cannot force them to drink.


You cannot force your family and friends or anyone of that matter because they are the ones who have to want it.

On SFI I have read clearly that when it comes to sponsoring and duplication not to waste your time on Skeptics, who are really not interested and do not believe in success. So if your family and friends are a bunch of skeptics who are constantly trying to talk you out of starting your business here and are letting you know loud and clear that they do not believe in your ability to succeed then do not even bother trying to recruit them.
I hope this answers your question.

Yes. I think it is a great idea to recruit family members .They are the easiest to recruit. I was telling a family member about SFI and before I could even finish what I was saying he asked to join. Family members know and trust you. So if you are enthusiastic about something they can feel your enthusiasm.

We are encouraged to join the A2A so we can have someone in our city or country who we can brainstorm with. Recruiting a family member is like having an A2A who you know personally. You get all the advantages associated with connecting to an A2A member. This has worked out very well for me. We get together and come up with ideas that has been beneficial to both of us. My family member is my best affiliate.

Well...this is a catchy question. The answer could be GOOD or NOT GOOD. This question depends on what the family's culture or gearing towards different kinds of business. For me, (and it is what I am doing) I will feel the "pulse" of a family member or friends around me. In my own experience, I just float the idea by informing them that I am into this online business called SFI. Take note that I am only floating the idea with them when they ask me what I am up to at the moment. When I tell them about SFI and they followed up their question that sounds or shows they have (even a little) interest with what I have just said, I will tell them some basic details about SFI and some basic information on how to earn with it. Usually, they will ask me if how much have I earned so far with SFI and I would honestly tell them that I have just joined and what I have earned so far is very very minimal that I can not even take it out yet...but I know and I believe that I will be earning soon. Then I will tell them my goals with SFI and how the team help each other to achieve success.

With that technique, I have signed up some friends and a few family members and relatives with me. Most of them have stopped after sometime but I just let them be. I do not follow them up like my other members, but I make it a point to mention to them once in a while my progress with SFI and how my Sponsors supports me. Some got back while others are maybe waiting for me to tell them that I have earned something already.

For sure, when they see you progress financially...you don't need to ask them to join you...instead they will be the one to ask (or even beg) you to let them join your team.

For now, I am just doing what I need to do and I know the rest will follow.

Thank you...and wishing for your success!!!

Hi,

In answering your question, it may or may not be a good idea. It depends on your own situation. If you are already seeing success, then recruiting family members will be easier and they are more willing to listen to your explanation of the business.

As happens with many MLM or Network Marketing businesses, family members will generally have a negative opinion( especially in the US), based on rumors and a mis informed understanding of the business. Many times they are closed minded because they feel they are "looking out" for your best interests. Convincing them otherwise can be difficult and they will try to talk you out of it.

Most family members do have your best interests in mind, but they just do not know the truth about how the business works. At the same time, you have this great opportunity and want to share your good fortune with your family. That is admirable and should be approached carefully so that you do not alienate anyone by being too aggressive. Once they are turned away in a negative way, it will be even harder to turn them around. A gentle approach is best,

This is a good question.

Yes i think you should always start with your family and relatives.

you can tell them about the tripleclicks store ,there are so many kind of products available on tripleclicks which we use for our daily needs.

you must change your shopping store ,so when your relatives sees you using different brand products they will ask you and this way you can introduce them to tripleclicks.

wave 3 is also a great way to promoting your business,when your relatives and friends sees tripleclicks sticker on your car ,they will ask you and you can introduce them.

i think this is a great way to start building your business by introducing sfi,tripleclicks to your family and relatives.

Here is a twist: instead of the question SHOULD we recruit family...WHy don't you make it a FAMILY business, especially if you have a big family.

Who are the first people who assist you if there is a problem, either with finance or personal problems? FAMILY

So...Sign up your family members and assist them to get started imediately, then encourage them to do what they do normally and monthly:

Family have to buy products monthly...direct them to TripleClicks
Family like to have fun...direct them to Pricebenders
Family invest their savings...direct them to SFI (they can invest in their OWN business)

There is NO Question about it...FAMILY should be members of YOUR Business...KEEP THE MONEY IN THE FAMILY...

Makes you think doesn't it...

Thanks for an Awesome question?

HAVE Fun...
