I would suppose that the best way to get affiliates to sign up without asking a lot of questions first would be to join a co-op (S-Builder or some other one that is available to your team or in TripleClicks). You would be receiving affiliates and customers, and you would not be in direct contact with them until they signed up. Even if you advertise on a Web site or through a blog, you still might be in contact with a person who could raise questions and objections if they had your contact information.

Why would you not want to answer questions? Do you feel you can't answer them correctly?

The more information you have prepared to present to a potential affiliate, the better chance of them understanding the SFI system and staying with it.

Remember, you are looking for quality, not quantity. Yes, you could sign up a bunch of new affiliates without explaining, teaching, or training them. But they are not going to last. They will sign up, log in, look around and then never

Tell an inspirational story!

As the saying goes, when the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter.
Focus on "Why" to join, not "How" to join.

Find an inspirational story that will resonate with your audience. Let them relate and see themselves in the roll of a successful SFI business owner. What would that mean for them, how would their life change?

Try give them some perspective of the Paradigm Shift that is takeing place during their

My solution to getting sign-ups without facing a barrage of questions is to use marketing methods that are not face-to-face marketing such as promoting a gateway online. All the information is on the gateway. When you get questions that relate to topics that you know are covered in depth on the gateway you simply refer them to the gateway and then if they have further questions you should address those. People who are too lazy to read usually are not cut out for this type of business.

However,

Maybe that I do not understand this question right....
1. I promote the idea of my Affiliates asking questions. They think differently than I do. They see things differently and I gain their vision.
2. They sometimes ask me questions that I do not know the answers, and I need to refer to my own "upline".
3. Not once I was ignored / not answered by my Sponsor or Co Sponsor. They have always come back to me with an idea to solve the question asked.

The way I see

The way to get new affiliates to sign up without having to answer a lot of questions is to prepare yourself and be well equipped with enough knowledge about SFI before bringing it up to prospect affiliates.

It is often said that a person that is not well informed is deformed. You must be well informed about SFI so as to tackle any question that may be thrown to you by prospect affiliates.

Your composure matters a great deal. Don't feel nervous when you're being asked questions

To get affiliate signed up without having to answer a lot of questions to my understanding is through some few dealings.
-By telling them that all they need to know and what they need to do will always be available to them as soon is they become SFI affiliates.
-By telling them that all the tools and equipment needed to run the business effectively is also made available for free.
-by telling them that their sponsors,up lines and a2a friends are very ready to assist them with answers

When a prospective affiliates ask lots of question, they are either very interested or just wanting to prove something.

In both cases you can let them signed up immediately by:

1.Telling them that the answers to their questions are inside the SFI website, so, they need to sign-up to access them.

2. Telling them that's it free to sign-up anyway and they can opt out anytime. They have nothing to loss.

3. Tell them that you are there to guide them to the

1. Use the products or services and share your stories.

2. Belief and excitement.

3. Building relationship.

Are above three ways above enough to attract new affiliates in SFI?

No, they are not. Initially, you may do three ways above. I want to add one more way here and this one is absolutely the key to get new affiliates signed up without having to answer a lot of questions first.

4. Personal Branding: I would encourage you to learn about personal

Put as many links online as you can. Sponsor people thtough these because the people who will respond from a web link usually have shown an interest for the simple reason they clicked your link.

Even when I am talking to people in person, I tell them that once they register on the site and have a first hand look at it then we can talk some more and I'll cover any questions and concerns at that point. This way they are a little distracted about wanting to get all the info first. Giving
