Knowing many people is not importent in this business!

As a mater of fact, it is much better to work with people you have never seen before.

It is because it's hard for people you know to accept you as their leader.
But people you got for personaly sposored affiliates as a result of your
advertising will accept you with no arguing about it.

Main thing that people that don't know many other people need to understand is that
SFI is a program where you have to advertise your business as much as you can,
and you will get a lot of PSA's to train, wich will respect you as their leader.
Not because they know you, but because they respect that you are always there for them,
and because they apriciate what you are doing for them.

Hope I helped.

People who say that they don't know very many people usually have not given the matter serious thought. Population experts suggest that the average adult has a social circle that includes 290 people. Many of these people you don't think about right off the top of your head because people socialize based on function.

Therefore, when people think about people they know based on social function, i.e., who do I know at church, it is easier to remember who they know. Moreover, I suggest that people who are interested in any networking should take a blank piece of paper and draw circles representing their social engagement. In each circle write down the names of the people you know. It's okay if people belong to more than one group. Usually this is an indication that the person is a close friend, acquaintance of the family, or significant other.

In conclusion, when you come up with you list, contact those who you feel would have an affinity for networking or shopping online. Then take it one step further and ask them to recommend 10 people they know that fits the same mold. Certainly the average person will be able to get more than 290 valid contacts.

I think I would tell them that not knowing very many people is NOT a constraint to join SFI. In actual fact, not knowing many people may work to their advantage.

Even if they know many people, what is the guarantee that those people would be interested in SFI? Their warm market may turn a cold-shoulder to their proposal about SFI. I tell them that they would be saved from a lot of discouragement emanating from their friends, family, acquaintances and others that they assume they know.

Basically, SFI is a network marketing business. That only means that they can recruit people into SFI through the internet, provided they use the right or effective advertising methods.

Strangers become associates or affiliates in this multi-level marketing enterprise. So not knowing many people could not be the criterion for not being interested in SFI. I tell them if they are really interested in making good money from SFI, they could sign up, whether they know or not know very many people.

Hope this helps.

Tell them that this business is perfect for them. This was my situation also and yet I have managed to sponsor quite a lot of people in the short time I have been in SFI through the S-Builder Co-op. With a small investment, SFI makes it so easy to sponsor people that even if you cannot speak with your mouth you can make this business work.

There are people in this business that can guide you step by step as to what to do and how to get it done. I personally have sponsored hundreds of people already in the short time I've been in and I am a shy person.

There are many tools in place that help you get your business off the ground. For the person who does not have much time or does not know many people, SFI is perfect for them and can help them find the success they want.

I think we have probably all faced this problem. Either with other people or with our own thinking.

Fact is that the vast majority of affiliates with SFI don't have friends or relatives in their team. Or if they do then it is in such a small quantity to be almost neglible.

To be honest, I don't want friends or relatives in my team, at least not in the early stages. It is to easy to be affected by negative comments from them. At least with strangers once they give you a negative comment they are gone and you can move on. Friends and relatives can keep hitting you with negativity and make it difficult to move on. Please remember though that negative comments are only made through ignorance of the program.

Remember that even if you don't know how to advertise to get signups that SFI runs a co-op every month (SBuilder) that will grow your team for you. Also a lot of sponsors are running co-ops for their teams as well.

I have around 900 people in my team and didn't know a single one of them before SFI. I don't know them all but I have made quite a few friends from all over the world this way.

Excuses are easy but get you no where. To actually have to work to make a difference is more difficult. Most people will take the easy way.

My answer to that question would be this:

- One of the things about SFI is that it provides all the resources available to you to succeed in this business. Therefore if you do not know that many people you can always purchase the S-Builder which provides you with valuable sign ups for your business. The S-Builder is a good way to help with duplication.

- Also there are number of ECA (E-Commerce Associates) on Tripleclicks which offers co-ops which you can purchase for any amount of sign up that you would like.

- SFI also provides you with training on how to use the internet to market your gateways so that you can have people who you have never even met before sign up and be a part of your team.

So there you have it, three things you can tell prospects who feel they may not know enough people.

SFI is online business. In online business, normally we don't need to meet our prospect face to face. It is a good advantage if we could meet them but it is not a must. You can tell your prospect, to join more social media network, marketing forum group,safelist mailer sites, traffic exchange sites and other advertising platform available to find prospect. This sites will help you to find people that seeking more income opportunity from working online.

If he good at writing advertisement, he can write a selling post at social media group or if not, just put his/her sponsoring/referring gateways at traffic exchange in term of URL or banner or writing few words.

These guide line actually is already stated at our affiliate page.

Blogging is another way to advertise your gateway. Keep update your blog, with interesting features of SFI business, such as luxury residual income, work from home, etc to make your reader want to join SFI program.

Hope this will help.

Well first of all I take myself as an example. I do not know many people and most people that have joined me in my team, I do not know from a bar of soap. I do know them now!

This is what I did.

I searched on the Internet for a reliable place to advertise for free. But before that I made sure that my welcoming message is in place to welcome my new affiliates, pointing out that I am here to help you succeed.

The first contact with your new prospect is the most important. If they tell you that they do not know a lot of people, you tell them that you will help him/her by pointing out places where he/she can advertise for free and get at least 5 people in his first month.

He must also then understand the importance of duplication and tell him this wont cost him a cent. Then I tell him also to show me another business which you can start with no capital outlay and that you can earn a potential income of $2000 in the next 12 months

If you yourself have a few affiliates that you can reassign to him, I find that a very powerful tool, and your new prospect will see what team building is all about. He can then also apply that same technique once he accumulated enough affiliates to help building his team.

Another method is try to get him involved in a co-op.

If he or she is cash strapped, I recommend you to reassigning him a couple of affiliates from your PSA, preferably once that is active. That will show him also that you are here to help.

Hope this helps you and best of luck.

I would tell them they don't need to know many people because everything is online... Online advertising! They can use Facebook , twitter, MySpace, any other social network, classified ads, forums, blogging, newspaper ads... They can even go door to door advertising... They can put up pull tab flyers on mailboxes, bus stops, etc... Now if they are not interested in working from home at all that is a different story!!! Otherwise kindly give them your card or link on a piece of paper and just tell them to check it out! No obligations ! Maybe offer them a TC gift card , that should get them interested to join and see what both Sfi and TC has to offer!
