Hello and thank you for raising this!

When we start a new job or embark on a new career of any kind, most of us start not knowing anyone. Some are fortunate enough to know one person which is usually the one who recommended you and others are very fortunate and enter into a business with a group of friends. Entering a new project is exciting and new things await you around each corner. Building relationships is a big part of marketing and newcomers will spend the majority of their time in doing this.

Plus one (+1)
Building a business is all about building relationships. The very fact that you are conversing with this person and answering their questions is proof of that. Tell them that is what you are doing right now. You are getting to know them (plus one). Building a strong team involves finding new people and showing them how SFI & TripleClicks can help them to achieve their financial goals. Some will listen and some wont. Every person is unique and will bring something different to the table. The act of building relationships with these people will enrich your experience and broaden your skills. You will learn a lot about how to approach new people by trial and error...there is no better learning experience.

So...to answer your question, I would tell them something like this:
"It is not important how many people you know because you will be building new relationships and forging new alliances as you learn how to get your message out into the internet. The internet has an abundance of people looking for opportunities. Seek them out one at a time (+1). Do something each day to get your message across better(+1). Make it your goal to talk to one new person each day(plus one). You don't have to be pushing SFI down their throats; it is enough to make one new friend either in the forums, in chat, on Facebook, Twitter, the list goes on."

I hope I have been of some help to you. Wishing all the best, my friend.

Some times it is not easy to talk to our prospects. We shouldn't say business to our prospects. We also shouldn't ask them "to join" you in this marketing programme. When they heard about "BUSINES" they will thought you will make them "BUSY". When they hear that you want them to join you, they would thought "Venture", which involve big sum of money. A lot of people doesn't like to be out of their comfort zone.
So to me I will tell them that there is a website that you can earn money by just buying what you already bought at other places that didn't pay you!
Then tell them what they already did before but never get paid.
Ask them how many times did they tells their working friends about a discount shirt or jeans, or the food that you ate at the restorant that was offered by the shop owners at their neighbourhood, but the owner of the shop or restaurants never even thank them for bringing more customers for them. Do not mentioned a gift of a pair of shirt or free meal.
Further more there is so many people that we know in our life. Some are old schoolmate and some are new person that we met eeveryday on the way to our working place.
Put in your mind.... S W....S W.....S W...S W....
( Some won't....Some will.... so what.....someday will... )

People who say they don't know anybody are just making up an excuse and perhaps that is because they themselves aren't interested in SFI and don't want to own their own perceived understandings/feelings about SFI.

I've had previous experience with multi level marketing. These business opportunities never worked for me because my only option was to sign up people I personally know. I couldn't invest in online advertisements to reach beyond my "warm market". Now, if folks in my "warm market" were to see my success in this business I guarantee you that I would quickly sign up individuals in my "warm market" but as it stands now, I don't know anybody who would quickly sign up since my "warm market" is rather cold and includes a lot of people who don't understand the concept of residual and leveraged income. As you build your business you don't want to waste your time on such individuals when you have the ability to look beyond your "warm market".

The reason why I signed up with SFI is because it doesn't matter if I don't know anybody because you always have the choice to invest a little financially into targeted online advertisements. Now, when you bring up the importance of both free and paid advertisements you will quickly find out who's just making up excuses or if you find some level of interest because if they're really interested and they learn that investing a little financially in paid targeted online advertisements would enable them to grow their business regardless of how small their social circle is they will either make up another excuse or jump on board.

So... breaking it down just a little ...

1. They might be making up excuses.... if that's the case they're not going to be productive SFI Affiliates and you're best to move on to the next.

2. Maybe they legitimately feel that not knowing people will hinder their ability to become successful. Tell them they can always invest a little financially into paid targeted online advertisements which will grow their business regardless of how small their social circle really is. Now, these people could be just think of every reason why not to sign up and just make every excuse they possibly can. You will quickly learn if they're just making up an excuse or if they're legitimately interested. If they're legitimately interested then they will make a way to invest a little financially. If they make up another excuse then they just don't have the right personality to succeed in this business. So you move on to the next person.

Because honestly, the majority of people do have the ability to invest a little financially but they don't want to make the sacrifice necessary to financially invest. There are folks who legitimately cannot invest financially but at least if you tell them that not knowing people will not hinder their ability to build a successful SFI business you have their attention. If you know somebody who's financially incapable to invest in SFI but they're legitimately interested in SFI then you could always invest in the start up of their SFI business keeping in mind that investing in the business of Affiliates in your down line is indirectly investing in your own business and that becomes a win/win solution for both of you. If you can help them see this win/win solution they will most likely sign up! Or they will make up another excuse... at which point it's just best to move on to the next person.

You tell them that no one in the world knows everyone and that
they should not worry about small stuff such as 'knowing many people'
because SFI has taken the hassle out of trying to 'Know many people'.

Point out to them also the few people they do know,
that knows a few people who knows a few people,
who knows a few people... and so on.
The fact is SFI offers more than enough tools for others
to know them. All they have to do is to take the time to know SFI.

I hope this answer help.

One of the many benefits to SFI is that it is a multi-level global opportunity. The benefits of a multi-level marketing system is that you only need to know a few people who really want to work the business. They sign up and they know a few people and they know a few people and on and on. So even if you only know a few people, if they are willing to do the work, you can start building a network by using everyone's circle of influence.

SFI also offers an opportunity to get affiliates by taking advantage of the co-op team builder. So even if you only know a couple people, you can participate in this marketing campaign and get results. When I first started in SFI I used that to start building my team because I was shy and didn't like to talk to people. I find the co-op program very useful.

The number of people you know now can never be compared with the number of people you are to deal with in any online global digital network such as in SFI here.

It's hard to think that anyone in this world knows one million people and can be their friends, but in this kind of online business, you can communicate with more than a million people through your successful advertisements.

Sometime, it's just easier to invite those who don't know anything about us, because those who know us could not focus on business we are doing but on us individually.

As a result, our acquaintances, friends and even our relative and family tend to ignore what we trying to offer.

So, it's better to work with those who don't know us really as they won't waste their time judging us all the time.

So, go with those who don't know you is the right condition of joining SFI.

Hi my friend, this is one of the best excuses in network marketing. A lot of people will bring about this excuse because they don't want to be directly involved, but they want to earn. A business like SFI internet based, as such, you don't need to know people personally, but through social media such as facebook, twitter, google+, linkedin, and so on and so on. You can create thousands of friends globally.

You can start this business by inviting your family, friends, church members, club members, former school mates, colleagues at work, the list is endless.

People are never short of reasons not to move out of their comfort zones.

Good luck my friend!

Most persons think of their own "warm Market" first when it comes to finding referrals to some affiliate program or network marketing business. Many of us don't have affluent persons in our circle of family, friends and work associates so we might feel we couldn't succeed with a program like SFI but the online worldwide Web is available to all of us. Business relationships and partnerships can be formed online with persons from any nation or background especially through social media sites. The Internet makes the world a lot smaller and close. SFI is geared for marketing on the worldwide Web.
