It is always a good idea to recruit family members into SFI although it has its pros and cons.

Family members can be okay and also a bane to your success based on the relationships that you have with them. You can't always get family to join you in business ventures,so don't get upset when they turn you down.If they are very supportive of you, it may be great, but if they are not, I would avoid trying to recruit them.

Somtimes it may be necessary to go outside of family if

I answer this question with a question:

What sort of a friend would I be if I did not offer the opportunity of a lifetime to the people I love?!

I know for a fact that SFI is the best online marketing opportunity I've ever seen (and yep, I've looked!!)

SFI is so good, it can get me out of debt.
SFI is so good, it can get me on my feet financially.
SFI is so good, it can turn my dreams into reality.

Yes, it takes a little bit of money to start

Hello,

There have been many quotes and many ups and downs on a question such as this. Let me speak to you from my personal experience. A long time ago I got involved in a Multilevel marketing business, and it seemed like a great idea. They almost FORCED you to recruit your family, and stated you would never get anywhere if you didn't. So I did...

This was to be my downfall in this particular business and left me with a sour taste about MLM for a long long time. WHY you ask?

This is a great question because it addresses something that could make or break your downline.
I recruited a couple of family members and friends who while interested in the concept were very sceptical.
I explained to them
(1) SFI is NOT a Pyramid scheme or a "get rich quick program. It has been around for 15 years with over 1 million members so 1 million people cant be wrong.
(2) You can join free and take your time as you familiarise yourself with it.
(3) If you wish

Hi,
For me it's a good idea. I have family members in the SFI business and they were happy to be on it. They have great results. I am happy to help them in any way.
My Uncle told me about SFI and he show me and we talk. When I join and the results I got. I when after and talk to them about it I show them how and they got join. This business is going great for everyone.
Some family may not be like this, but its up to the family that you have, you will know how to approach them.

Hello!

Most answers focused on whether your family members are 'SFI material' - teachable, business oriented, trusting, etc. I couldn't agree more - it is very important. But I would also like to say that you need to think about this:

How do you feel about being a sponsor to your family members?

* Do you think you can gently suggest what they are doing wrong, without harming the harmony? :)

* Can you see yourself giving them incentives in a way that doesn't

There are good reasons to tell family and friends, and there are good reasons not to. It depends on your family relationships - whether they are generally supportive or not.

One word of warning is that, if they have not been in business themselves, or if they are not ambitious themselves, they might be skeptical of those who are ambitious, and could try to talk you out of it.

Personally, I tell my family of my position only when my position is already sound and proven. Then

Of course I support recruiting family members into SFI. I do not think there is
a rule against that.
With family members you could better work together as the chance is
that they are right where you are and you could better monitor and coach them.

Again I would draft them into becoming TripleClicks members.
When they buy products you would benefit greatly from the commissions
and they would get great prices.
Have them become permanent shoppers at SFI.

HI FRIENDS,
Recruiting Affiliate is the great tool in the S F I system like Triple Clicks.
There are two great tools in the system to generate money and RECRUITING THE AFFILIATE is one of them.
I think it is the best tool out of them. Because here you need not to invest even a single penny. Recruiting should be in your daily habit.
Here is the question of recruiting affiliate from the family.
In my recommendation, You should recruit strongly from your family. Because

Is it a good idea to sponsor family members into SFI? It depends on the situation. You may want to consider your relationship with your family, before presenting the SFI opportunity. Do you have a good reputation or is your family being supportive to you?

Have your family noticed change in your life? Being happy and having a good mood, because you have found the passion of helping other people, which is possible through SFI opportunity, will help you enormously in your favor to sponsor
