Prospects who say they are not interested in SFI because they don't know very many people can become interested if they are told about the following.

1. SFI is free to join. There is no start up cost. The training is also free and you are provided with a wealth of information which will help you to become the very best marketer.

2. If you don't have the funds to do paid advertising there are always free advertising sites. There are many affiliates in SFI who will even introduce you to some of these free advertising sites.

3. You get a chance to bid for PSA's or CSA's and these can build your downline. You could find yourselves with hundreds or thousands of affiliates this way.

You can also become a part of S Builder Co-op. For just $22 per month you can get a share of PSA's. Someone does the advertising for you and new members are then added to your downline.

A prospect will then realize that you do not have to know many people to be successful in this business, because the business is able to introduce you to many people.

I am glad you ask this question because one of my friends said the same thing when I invited him to join SFI. Let me share what I told him that ended up with my friend signing up for SFI.

I told him that, it is one good thing about internet marketing because you can get affiliates even if you do not know the person, and you can get them from anyplace worldwide. So, what is needed is to learn some simple internet marketing techniques to get those affiliates.

So I begun to enumerate to him some simple internet marketing techniques.

1) Face Book Marketing - I told him that I will make a simple splash page/blog for him in blogger that he can use to promote in Face Book. I teach him how to join a group with online earning as the theme and start posting there.

2) Showed him some free ads listing in 2 or three ads site. I thought him how to use google to find more free ads site.

3) I also showed him two paid ads websites and help him to sign in.

4) I brought him to some ECA who are selling PSA.

5) Finally, I showed him the Pricebenders where he can win PSA and CSA.

These made him very excited and signed up as my Affiliates. Until now I am still teaching him some other techniques and he is very thankful for the new things he is learning.

Hope you can also convince him that it is not necessary to know a lot of people to join and be successful in SFI.

I tell prospects who say they aren't interested in SFI because they don't know very many people that it is not compulsory that they know very many people before they join. All that matters is your willingness to learn and put what you've learnt into practice to achieve great results.

I will go ahead and tell them that when I joined SFI, I hardly knew many people but as I advance in the business, I have come across lots of people around the globe. SFI has given all the tools you'll need to connect with lots of people around the globe. All you have to do is to utilise those tools to it's utmost purpose.

We have the a2a program where you can connect with lots of business partners around the globe and make friends with them. We have the SFI forum where you can interact with your fellow SFI members in a friendly way just like a family. We can either win CSAs and PSAs from Pricebenders auctions or we can purchase them from ECAs in TripleClicks. They are lots of free classified sites where you can place your ads free and reach out to prospect affiliates around the globe. Even the S-builder Co-op is an excellent recruitment tool.

When you determine to succeed here in SFI, knowing very many people won't be an excuse to give.

What do you tell prospects who say they aren't interested in SFI because they don't know very many people?

The number of people you know is irrelevant for this type of business. The majority of your prospects will be found online anyways.

It's funny, because that was my first thought when I saw the first method for sponsoring affiliates: "Tell your friends and family to sign up as SFI affiliates." I can pretty much guarantee my friends and family would not be interested. Most of my family is afraid of the internet. They would have laughed at me at the beginning if I had tried to recruit them.

Now, I have a check coming from SFI each month. I also understand how SFI works much better than I did at first. I am better equipped to explain to them how it works, what exactly I do to build my business, and to show them that it is possible for them to do it, too.

My advice would be to get yourself started primarily through advertising online, then when you are making a profit in a few months, you can invite your family or friends who might be interested.

It takes a certain type of person - someone with an entrepreneurial frame of mind - to succeed with SFI. Most of the people in your "warm market" will not be the right kind of people, anyways!

For most network marketing opportunities, that would be a huge problem but not for SFI.

You see, SFI is completely digital. There's a system in here that everyone can lean on to and just by following what SFI lays out for us, we can succeed.

Send links > People Sign up> you guide them along and help them > they'll upgrade eventually (if not, no problem).

Offline method: Approach friends, family, colleagues, and everyone else you might know or meet to signup for SFI ( Since it's free, there are no hard feelings here. There are no pressure-selling tactics). After they Join, arrange to meet them regularly and discuss how to go forward.

Online Method: Here's where we have digital marketing kicking in. Depending on your budget, you can find ways to prospect and have people signup without ever meeting anyone. There are free methods of advertising (even classified ads will do) and paid methods.

You can have your blog, do guest blogs, use social media, and a host of other ways to prospect new affiliates and get them to signup. Once they sign up, all you have to do is to send out weekly emails ( PSA Mailer, etc) and share more information, tips, and instructions on how to get their business started and running ( don't expect responses, but doing this regularly makes it all happen).

According to Benjamin F. Fairless, there are 4 essential ingredients to successful achievement:
- choose a career you love;
- give it your very best;
- seize your opportunities and
- be a member of the team.

  SFI offers us a lot of tools in order to get affiliates to build up our team, be it PSAs or CSAs:
- Bid for PSAs and CSAs at the Pricebenders Auctions.
- You have a chance to win 10 CSAs at the Daily Grand contest.
- 20 CSAs can be won at the E365 Finalists drawing.
- Once you reach EA status each month, you will receive 2 CSAs.
- If you are a Team Leader, you will get shares from all available Second Home CSAs.

  Not knowing a lot of people is not a reason not to join SFI, it is an excuse. I think more than 60% of us do not know anyone from our upline or anyone in SFI prior to joining; me included. In fact, I made new friends from around the globe.

  Some people may think that if they don't know many people, it is difficult to get PSAs and therefore the income earned will be peanuts. No doubt you will get to earn more from a PSA compared to a CSA; but it is better to have quality compared to quantity. So what if you can get 50 PSAs comprising of your family members, relatives and friends if none of them stays active in SFI? Take for example you have the above 50 inactive PSAs and you won 20 CSAs from the E365 Finalists drawing; out of which 5 are very active. Who's giving you the additional income now, PSAs or CSAs?

  The number of people that you know does not determine your success in SFI. It is all about planning, supporting your team, duplication and understanding the SFI business. The next time somebody gives you the above "reason" for rejecting SFI, you can say that SFI not only gives the opportunity to earn a 2nd income. They can also make friends with affiliates from more than 150 countries and therefore increasing the number of people that they know. Problem solved.

This is a very good question with a very simple answer.

I would simply tell them that SFI is not only who you know but how you advertise to get yourself noticed enough to drive traffic, and gain sales. But people actually see the word “recruit” and they go into panic mode and there’s no need to do that with SFI. SFI offers so much opportunity that all you literally have to do is follow directions; there is something for everyone.

Just referring sales can explode your income. Allow me to elaborate, if they are able to print out a QR Code flyer and pass them out, then that’s 5-6 chances per flyer for a prospective PRM to visit their TripleClicks store and purchase something.

Things promoted on the flyer are as follows:
1. A specific product,
2. Deal of the Day,
3. Hot Deals,
4. Closeouts,
5. Wave3
6. and member listings.

Hope this helps and good luck on your success.

You say, that is ok you don't need to know a lot of people"

As matter of fact, you don't need to know anyone at all. I personally did not know any of my affiliates. Not a single one. I have a very successful downline too.

How is this possible. This is all due to the median we call INTERNET. The Internet allows every single one of us the ability to reach out to people around the entire world with ease. You have billions people with in reach where you can promote and advertise to and not know a single person.

So, if someone states to you that they don't know anyone , just tell them that you don't need to as you can leverage the Internet to find great people,with forums, social sites, paid and free advertising Etc. Just because you know people does not mean it will we be a shoe in. Sometimes people who you know are not the greatest people either.

Therefore, use their answer as leverage to what actually works well in SFI and if they still frown on it, they are just not Interested.

Hope this helps.

If you want to be successful in SFI it is not crucial to know a great number of people.
It is very important to have a strong team, but there are many ways to build it.

First, you can advertise on so many different ways that you should only create attractive ads and post them on countless places (social networks, classified ads...).

Then, create your own blogs or sites, make them interesting, find the best ways to sign up new affiliates, using all available information and tools SFI provide you.

Next, as you go to the higher levels, each time you achieve a new one (EA, BTL, STL...) you are rewarded for your success by having been appointing with new CSAs...

ON Tripleclick, there are many ECAs offering you new sign ups, if you can afford it to yourself.

Also, participate in Pricebenders and you can get new PSAs and CSAs if you win the acutions...
The ways to get new affiliates are really numerous.

So, it is not important if you do not many people. just start doing SFI and you will, surely, get know more people very soon.

Good luck!
