This is a common problem. I too face the same problem many times. Many best friends whom I assumed will join this business turned their back on me. In this case we need to analyze different aspects from different perspectives.

1. Our personality: Often with known people we are too casual and we behave with them in a friendly manner which is unprofessional. So change your personality while putting this offer. Keep personal and professional relations different.

2. Communication: Make a solid ground for communicating this offer. As I said earlier, while speaking with known people we are casual and talk in a friendly manner, avoid that, create a professional environment, build up your confidence, an image of you are achieving something from SFI (not only monetary benefits, but also the learning can help here) should be radiating from your gesture, which will dramatically add value to your talk. This won’t happen in a day, you will have to rehearse in front of mirror and try doing it a number of times assuming you are delivering to your prospective clients.

3. Talk about “What is in it for me”: Everyone is looking for an opportunity to earn more. But at first people are hesitant to join some business like SFI due to pre-conceived notions. So we will have to study about each person’s interests and offer them the same. Fortunately for us, SFI has many things to offer, and SFI provides everyone what they are looking for: those who want to do marketing can do that, those who want to sell their products and looking for a free website, they can do that, those who just want to learn online business, SFI is the best. Keep searching these details and offer the people as per their mindset.

Doing all the above, don't forget to mention that SFI is real business and they (the prospective PSAs) need to go by rules to achieve success. Convey them there's no free lunch, else you will get PSAs but they won't be working, so no use in putting all these efforts.

After we go on progressing in SFI, no wonder, the same people who have rejected us earlier, will be interested in joining us. Cheers and keep working! There are many people out there looking for the right opportunity. Remember “The World is not Enough”.

This is a normal question in fact many of us I think have experience being rejected as we present SFI to others. Maybe this is due to the rampant fraud in the internet but because we all know that SFI is true and legitimate we get mad sometimes at them and that is normal that we feel it.

When they reject me as I present to them the SFI opportunity, I challenge myself that I must do good in SFI so that I can present to them my experience doing business with SFI. As of now as I present to them they get interested to learn more and wanted to know how I do it. So don’t be discouraged if many of them will reject the opportunity, focus to those who have interest and time will come that they will follow you. Do good in SFI always do the daily task and maintain you EA status, always read the post in forum, ask guidance from your sponsor, upline and a2a friends and read all FAQ’s. And continue to treat those who rejected you well, you will be surprise that one of this days they will ask you how are you doing with SFI, that is the time that you will discuss to them about SFI and how you succeed.

Thanks, hope this helps you.

Prepare yourself to be rejected over and over again. There are people who do not want to work and expect to earn money over night for doing nothing. You can not help them. Maybe they will join you later, when you succeed.

But it is worth for people who want to work and make it on SFI to continue to work on building your SFI. For people who join you and then sleep, I recommend you to give them your own example - then they will see that this job works and will have motivation to start over and do what you did already.

Rejection is part of life! The business we are in, MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) is a numbers game. The system works, but only if you are getting enough referrals / prospects to your business offer. This is the life blood of your business!

The days of cold calling are gone. With todays technology we can reach an international audience of targeted prospects who understand this business. If you are getting rejected that much I would suggest you invest in one of the online co-ops offered by SFI. This will get you enough affiliates and you will be able to find the ones who are serious about this business. I know this option means investment but you will get this money back when your business starts to duplicate.

Getting told no is difficult for everyone.
I use to sell windows door to door. Talk about a tough sales job. But what I learned was the acceptance of NO.

A short story: When we were growing up we were told no allot. It started with our parents. No you can not have candy before dinner, no you can not stay home from school, No you can not stay up late on a school night. So as people we have learned that no can hurt our feelings because we do not get what we want.

As we have become adults the word no still hurts our feelings because we beleive in something and some one tells us no we think we get hurt but thats not really true. Its just our trained mind from when we were children.

You can take the word no a couple of ways. One way I took it was when I was selling windows I would knock on a door and they first thing the potential customer said was NO I am not buying anything I took as a challenge. My response would be Not a problem (with a smile) I just want to show you the features and benefits and I will be on my way. Would you beleive that 70% of those customers Bought windows? It amazed me.

The other way is you get an affirmative no is to understand its OK. The word No will not hurt you. Its just 2 letters. Thats it. The greatness of the word no is that when you finally here that word yes!!! you will get really excited and the more you ask and talk about what you are selling or offering the More yeses you will get. 1 out of 10 is about average. Now this does not mean you ask 10 people one will say yes. It means that an average of 1 out of 10. You might have to ask 20 to get 2 yes votes. ask 30 to get 3 etc.

Just dont let 2 letters stop you from asking.

Remember No can not hurt you its either an opportunity or just 2 little letters

Thanks

First of all, SFI is a good business and also to be successful in SFI, you need to duplicate yourself. If you have that in mind that you want to be really successful, you won't be shy or feel dejected when someone rejects when you talk to them about SFI. For example, if you talk to Mr A about SFI and he rejects it, you can leave him for a while, you can still go back to him, if he rejects you can move to another person.
The reason why so many people are afraid or uninterested when they here about online business is that they have tried either 1 or more online businesses and have not gotten results even after wasting so many resources, you wouldn't blame them. You keep on trying, you widen your scope i.e you increase the number of people you talk to about SFI. And have it in mind that you just don't need anybody, you need serious minded people that can boost your business on SFI.

Yep. I have encountered numerous rejections while presenting the SFI opportunity to others from those who would say “been there done that” to those who would be excited to hear then in the middle of your presentation they disappear like magicians.

I never get discourage or take any of this personally because I am aware of SFI’s value and I will find others who will listen and agree that this is an opportunity that should not be ignored.

I will also work towards building my income go back and prove to the ones that are doubtful and show evidence of my success and just this might be enough for second thoughts. In business it is a wise thing to leave the door of communication open.
I would also seek advice from my upline on how to move forward as everyone in this business experience would be similar and we learn from each other’s mistakes to develop better strategies.

When building a business such as SFI there will always be rejections. A great way to handle rejections is to use it as a motivating force. The truth is, this business isn’t for everyone; but it’s for someone. If I tell someone about the opportunity that SFI has to offer and they choose not be a part of my winning team then this business is clearly not for them. As a matter of fact, I welcome the rejections because it's less time spent one someone who refuses to change their lifestyle.

There is no point in carrying dead weight. I rather someone tell me no than say yes and do nothing. "Some will" "Some won't". I am looking for a diamond in the rough; so I welcome my rejections. Since I have learned that only 2% of the people who we tell about this business opportunity to will ever say yes and even when that 2% say yes only 2% of them will build a successful business.

Therefore welcome your rejections because another no it just a closer step to a yes and that diamond in the rough.

Yes I can hear your frustration. Being rejected is common. You can not get everyone to sign up. No matter what you say people will still hold a negative view, you will not change this.
I take it with a grain of salt. I keep a smile on my face and reply it works for me because I am willing to participate daily and promote.
I let them know I am earning monthly. That if they did sign up they would be able to see my score board and see my results.
I also keep it short and sweet giving them my link to my SFI Dollar Wise Network. Informing them that if they do have a change of mind, they can always refer back to my training website for more information.
I stress also that I have been doing affiliate marketing since 2009. That I have seen a lot of sites come and go with the wind. That the internet is a very dangerous place if you are new to the idea of earning an income on line. I tell them to be fully aware of this fact and do not believe everything they read, that there are so many scams, ready to take their hard earned cash.
I also suggest for them to google SFI and see for themselves how they have been around for years and are still paying their members.
I then finish with saying. With a cheeky grin. I will keep you up to date with my progress. The shame is I will still be earning tomorrow whether you sign up or not.
I thought You might like to be in the same position with my Team support.

I always remind myself they are rejecting their understanding of SFI and not me.

I know the benefits of my SFI business, and they are real. When someone rejects the opportunity I present, it is obviously something that is in their mind, and not my experience.

I have to be careful not to blame myself for not presenting SFI well. So I remind myself regularly of the benefits I am receiving so that what others think does not affect me personally.

The fact is, SFI is a great and profitable business. Those that discover that fact are never disappointed.
