I often start conversations with people I don't know. What are the best ways I can transition these conversations into me giving them an X-card/flyer/postcard for SFI?

Transition the conversations into "May I give you my business card?" and already have it out so you can place it in their hand. Most people automatically take the card and look at it. Some ask questions and some hand it back (while politely saying, "no thanks") while others are in a hurry and shove it in their pocket or purse to look at it later at home.

Make sure there is contact info on whatever you give them in case they have questions later.

Many people let the negatives in their life run over them like a steamroller. The negativity usually comes out in even the smallest conversation because these people have lost their joy and hope.

You have found the solution to many people's unhappiness. SFI brings hope for a better future, not only in the money realm of one's life, but also in the self worth one sees in himself.

SFI brings an opportunity to not only improve one's life situations, but to help others to improve

Lead with a question. Don't try to explain it or tell them a lot of things about it. Just ask them this.

Are you doing any business or buying things online?

If they say yes, ask them what. Keep asking questions and let them provide the answers.

Then when the moment is right, ask them if you can give them something to look over. If they say yes, and they often will, just hand them your card and smile and say, please look this over and call me if you have any questions.

For Xcards, which speak for themselves, the only question I ask them, is if they shop online, or are interested in a place where they can list an item for sale. By having a card for each yes I'm able to help either one of them.

Have a few xcards, for the credit giveaway, or wave3 program handy.

A yes for either question, helps you decide which card to give them.

I usually start by asking them the simple question "what do you do?" If they are in sales I immediately know they are a potential ECA. If they say something else I ask them "So are you happy doing that?" and no matter what their answer is I follow up with "well, would you like to earn more income on the side?"

Those are my tips to you. The ECA program is incredible. It can earn you a residual income for life if you help your new ECA promote their TC seller

I do the same especially with waitresses. I always leave them a card when I pay the bill.

The best way is to hand them a business card that has only one or two lines with your url on it like a personal domain like I have bestbusinessoffer.com and your phone number on it and also get the tripleclicks mastercard another great way to get people into SFI just telling them you make money off of this card then they want to know how. Always leave with a question I have learn over the pass 30 years I have been in MLM then they will call to get the answer.

I think considering todays'economy you could ask them if they ever thought of owning their own business, or just making extra money online. Then you can just offer to give them your card. Most will take the card and review it later - hopefully in front of the computer!

Actually this is a bit challenging because you don't know the person and its hard to ask them directly what they do for their living,but with all this you can carry on a great conversation which will lead you to talking about business.So you will find it a bit easy if you take his/her contact, then continue exchanging conversations before you can tell the person about this.During this time you will know whether the person is interested in doing this kind of business or not.The conversations you have

When conversing with strangers keep in mind that you are giving them something. An opportunity to improve their sales and/or their income which comes down to an improvement in their lifestyle.

Because a lot of people shy away from 'sales' people or those with 'opportunities' it is important that you show them that you believe in what you are 'suggesting' to them. Trying the 'hard sell' will not work in most cases and will turn people away from you.

The X-Card or Brochure should
