Don't let it bring you down. Being rejected isn't easy, or pleasant, but you must learn to live with it. Many people will not see the potential of SFI in first place, but after some time they might change their minds. Of course, there will be always those negative people and you will hardly change their mind, so don't waste your time and nerves with them. Instead, look for those who are willing to give it a try.

Let the rejection be your motivation! You probably wonder what do I mean with this. Well, whenever somebody rejects your SFI offer, work even harder, because one day you will be proud to show how far did you get in SFI, and those who didn't want to give SFI a chance will surely change their minds and join SFI.

Well, it`s actually a matter of character, of how you deal with rejection in life. Some people just quit after the first No they hear, other just keep going.
I will tell a story i`ve heard from a International Training Director of a big Networking Company (i won`t use names cause i`m not sure i`m aloud).
So it`s like this : when you prospect for your new members , imagine that you are drawing cards from a deck .. of course you wanna draw only aces, but there are 52 cards in a deck and only 4 aces. So when you draw, of course you wanna draw an ace, especially in the beginning , but that will probably not gonna happen. So what you do when you draw another card , you quit?, or you just keep drawing... well that is up to you , but you never now, the next card might just be the ace that you wanted.
Ok .. lets just say to you managed to push yourself to draw all the 52 cards , but you got no ace ... what do you do? Well it`s easy for me ... just get another damn deck and keep drawing ... YOU WILL EVENTUALLY DRAW YOUR ACE ... you just have to keep going for it , don`t give up ...
Probably this did not answer your question as you would aspect .. but this is the way i see it .. it does not matter how many people say no to you, it only matters how many say yes.

The goal of any team leader should be to build a strong team. The best way to do that is to filter through a large amount of rejects before you find the perfect team mate. It is better to have someone reject you right away than string you along without passion or care for the SFI business. If you are presenting this opportunity in the best possible way, the best affiliates will follow soon enough. You only need a handful of amazing team mates to be successful in the long run, but you will go through a lot of objectors, quitters, and losers before you find real winners.

Do not let people's ignorance affect your drive to be successful at SFI. If you know this company is beneficial, legitimate, and worth the time and money, keep at it no matter what. Hard work will always lead to strong results. Keep at it!

As I was taught in a previous business venture, "If they say no, you say next." Don't take it personally because it could be a thousand reasons why they do not see the value of this opportunity. It's just like in baseball you have to build your average. This means talk to more people and sooner than later you will find the people that see the value of your opportunity. Never take it personally. This is what keeps us from continuing to try. Know that your opportunity is a golden one and talk to more people until you find the ones that agree with you.

Risk is something that goes together with any business.

If you do nothing - you take no risks of failing,
but you have no chance of advancing.

One of your major advantages, when you present SFI is that you already joined the team.
Leading by example is very important even before your future PSA accepts to be a member of SFI team.

Also, you have to learn everything you can about SFI to make your presentation richer and more sirious. Better presentation will reduce number of rejections you get.

It is going to be lot easier when you start making money with SFI, and when you show them your SFI paycheck. Then they will beg you to teach them how you made it :) .
Until then, you will have to accept rejection as a nomal step on the way to the top.
Think of it as a gravity. Get used to it.
It's pulling you down, but you are still STANDING UP!

Hope this helps.

Great question . From my own experience, there will be no's but even those no's are with excuses. Some people want to see proof of success and those will come around, others don't trust easy and are curious but hold back. Some are scared of not being able to do it and don't want to feel they fail. Some will never do it because at this time in their life, there may not be a need.. d how its working for me.
What you want is to find people such as your self that have a need.
You want to present with a belief in what you are trying to share with them. They will pick up on your conviction to SFI. You want to point out the benefits. You want to use this with any excuse. I know how you feel, I felt the same way, now let me show you what I have found and how it is working for me.
If they still reject you , move on until you get a yes. They are out there. Usually for every 5 no's there will be a yes. Figure 1 out of 5.
I hope this helps.

hello,
it is really not easy, and just like i tell every member of my team ,the three main KEYS as i like to call them to become an operational effective rejective-proof affiliate are:
(1)KNOWLEDGE
(2)PERSEVERANCE
(3)DETERMINATION
without these keys , rejection from people or organisation might disrupt the mindset of a potential affiliate and also , i recommend that we should always have at the back of our minds that sometimes people dont realise good and profitable opportunity when they see it and also remember you will only be feel rejection when you are not sure of what you have to offer......show those people the benefits and manifestation of the business by working harder to make feel remorse and finally ,bringing them back into business they once rejected.
thanks

Rejection, that’s a word SFI affiliates (including me) hear a lot and something I experience a lot. How I handle it will play a major part in how successful or unsuccessful I am in SFI.

How I handle "no" is the key to succeeding in SFI. It seems that there are some people who can just slough off "no's" without a second thought and I am one of those. But for most SFI affiliates, a "no" is a personal rejection.

Worse, once I get the opportunity to get in front of a prospect, the "no's" continue to come. I make my presentation. I get my no. I answer the prospect's objections and I get my no. I drive home, I close and I get my no. Repeatedly, at times, it seems that no is the only word people know.

Then, finally, I get a qualified yes. The prospect agrees to join SFI if I can do a little something out of the ordinary.

Do the "no's" ever stop? No.

Of course, there are the yes's and that is what keeps me going. However, all of those "no's" can stop me dead in my tracks if I allow them. How I handle the "no's" is the key to how I get to the "yes's”.

Certainly, if you happen to be one of the lucky few who can simply ignore the rejection you receive, I appreciate you. I am also one of those.

Now let us assume I am not from the above group then how I can handle the rejection. I must find a format that allows me to reformat my brain after experiencing sustained rejection. Allowing my brain to experience success on a regular basis, particularly after having experienced rejection, seems to be the attitude adjustment mechanism that works best for the majority of SFI affiliates. Try arranging my schedule to purposely take advantage of the successes I know I will experience every day. Place them in my schedule when I know my attitude will need their positive influence and I will see a marked difference in the way I handle rejection.

It is not too easy to convince others about SFI. In an effort to do so, I have faced rejection again and again. One has to take this rejection in one's stride.

It is inherent in SFI that one has to work at least 6 months , if not more , to finally start earning a decent commission. We all know that the trick in that is to duplicate and teach them to do exactly what you are doing. You reach a point where some CSAs get assigned to you but almost all of them, in my experience, do not even log in everyday, despite repeated exhortations. My efforts to enroll potentially good PSAs have failed so far, because the first thing they want to know is how much I am making from SFI ! It is the chicken-and-the-egg story. I have maintained EA status for the past 10 month and this will be the 11th month. I once reached BTL status and slid back again. Unless I find some really good PSAs and band together an effective team, I know I can not make much headway.

So accept rejection on the chin and carry on regardless ! Some day,I am sure I will get a break.

If you are offering the SFI opportunity to OTHERS, then rejection should not happen over and over...

Different people do not actually act exactly the same as all the rest that have rejected you in the past.

Are you sure you are not approching the same people and getting rejected over and over by the same people?

If someone is not interested, and you show them the SFI opportunity, again, they will not always become interested.

Maybe a better question is how do we handle the first rejection? When someone tells you they are not interested, it is best not to contact them, again about the same SFI opportunity over and over, again...just to get repeat rejections.

How better to handle this is just be rejected once. Hand them your business card, or a Gift Card, and let them know you will be there for them to answer any questions, or if they change their minds and want to contact you about it, or if they never have time or interest, you may ask them to pass the information to someone else for you that they think will enjoy this...and never approach them again, unless they bring it up.

Also, remember they are not rejecting you, they are just rejection SFI.

There are many reasons people reject SFI, however not everyone will, some people will accept SFI.

However, if you keep asking the same people that for some reason reject opportunities, you are wasting your time, and are not handling rejection, but rather preventing acceptance by someone else.

However, someone that can walk away from those that have rejected SFI, and seek out more positive people that would accept SFI would have a very different outcome.

If you approach the same people over and over, you will receive the same reaction, nothing will change. If for some reason they did join SFI, after rejecting over and over, would you really want them on your team? They are likely just to quit because something is causing them to reject SFI. These are not possitive people.

When these negative people see you years from now, successful with SFI, building a team with other like-minded successful people, maybe these same people will realize they just let a great opportunity pass them by when they were not ready, or maybe they will never realize it. Your success does not depend on others, especially those full of rejections. They are likely not to take your advice, or be successful, either.

You can lead a negative person to SFI over-and-over, but, you cannot change their outlook, or make them successful.

If they are not part of your team, find a stronger team member that is worth your time, and worthy of running a home-based-business successfully, and who would accept SFI, and who is teachable and possitive.

Do not deal with the people that do not have anything possitive to share about SFI. Once rejected is enough...do not approach them so they have the chance to reject again.

If they change their mind, on their own, if they were given a business card or contact information, they will contact you when and if they are ready for SFI, and not before.

If you continue to approach them after they rejected SFI, you both will be upset about it, since they already said no.

Hopefully, you will start to find more accepting people if more time is spent on them helping build your business. You only need one person to accept because they will share it with family and friends, and others that are accepting of them.

Hope to see you on top!
