I try to always remember what I was taught several years ago.

For every 100 no's you get there will be a yes. So I just try
to get a fast no. Go on and get it over with. The statistics
don't lie. Ask them if they are interested in earning while they
learn. Offer them a way to get out from under their debts, a way
to find their dream job, and a way to retire early.

SFI is a long term and gradual way to be better in five to ten
years than you're doing

This is a very good question to ask because some of us find it very hard to accept rejection.

My own response to this is to help encourage everyone on SFI

1.

Don't take it personally because as an individual we ourselves need to make our own choices and decide if what is being offered is suitable for our lifestyle and situation.

2.
Remember that situations change and what is not favourable at this time may be favourable at another time.

Never

At the present time, when there are lots of scams over the internet it's hard to convince someone that something is legitimate and credible.

I just do not get too upset. Either you believe me or not. I am presented to you a good opportunity and it's up to you whether you want to accept it or not.

When I present the SFI to someone then I'm putting him just the facts. Several times in my presentation to him I mention that everything is free at the SFI.

Hi.
That is a good question and one that most people starting up have to face. The first thing you have to do is learn not to take the rejection personally. In 9 out of 10 instances the rejection is not that they are rejecting you , but the idea of starting out on something new. Most people are afraid of the new, and for them untried. It can be very scary, when you think about striking out on your own. So when some one tells you , I don't think so, leave the door open, give them your card,

You simply have to accept that SFI is not for everyone, forget about every knock back and keep working, you have chosen SFI because you believe it's a system which will work, and given time and work it will. I know it's difficult when you've worked really hard to get just one PSA through the door and they never even click a single vp, I think it's worse when you speak to somebody face to face and the turn around and effectively laugh at you, but all you need to remember is that you have chosen to

I have experienced being rejected a lot of times when I presented SFI business opportunity especially to my friends. However, I have managed not being disappointed with it instead keeping my head up and stay focused on my goals with SFI. I just told my self that, by the time they got interested to this opportunity, I am already successful with my business at SFI and they could already see how much I am earning and enjoying my business.

Most people nowadays were afraid to try opportunities

Hello All,

Some simple steps to help you with not feeling Rejected when presenting the SFI opportunity.

1. Learn to accept the words "No and Not Interested". (As soon as you come to terms and accept the fact that some people are just Not Interested in your offer or will tell you No, it makes the Rejection a lot easier to handle.)

2. They are not Rejecting YOU, personally, they are Rejecting the IDEA of what you are offering, that they are not interested

Thanks for this sensible question.

Rejection is a part and parcel of any business in the world. Just imagine what will happen if everyone on the planet earth says 'yes' to everything. It will be a disaster!

If someone rejects your offer of joining SFI or buying something from your store, etc., just relax and say 'No problem'. Ask yourself 'Who is next?'

If someone says 'No' to you, it doesn't mean 'never'.
'No' means 'not now'.

We must understand that any online earning program is a suspect for scam, because the reality is there are many in the internet which belong to scam type. Therefore when you present SFI to others there will be a lot of NO answer.

I am aware however that they are not rejecting me but they are rejecting SFI as one of the online opportunity. I won't feel bad about it because I know why they don't like online program.

They will tell me lots of reasons but the main reason is they

It may be useful to understand why you are being rejected so that you can react accordingly.

1. Are you being rejected because you failed to properly present the opportunity?
2. Who is your target market?
3. Do you know why they aren’t interested?
4. Can you establish a pattern?

Being able to rationalise the rejection will enable us to improve on our skills. So we should see rejection as a guide to helping us improve our targeting, presentation and closing skills.
