Right from the start of introducing SFI concepts to them, emphasize that SFI is a form of a long-term of investment and not a quick source of income that quickly fade along the way because it doesn't have systems that sustains mutually sustaining streams of income of affiliates. Mostly, other sites only depends from 1 to 2 ways of generating incomes, that is paid signups and product sales, while in SFI, there are more than 4 ways to generate, and that is 1) Earning versapoints by daily actions, 2) sponsoring SFI affiliates, TipleClicks PRMS and ECAs, 3) Sales of TripleClicks listed products, 4) Becoming ECA your self and Selling T-Currency, 5) SFI Pay-Per-Action, 6) Matching Versapoints of Affiliates under your Team, pluss the benefits of winning low priced items in auction then sell them to your friends of half the price of the same item on sale at your local store.

If you will be able to clearly bring these features of SFI-TripleClicks to the appreciation of your affiliates, then for sure they will become committed to realistically attend their investment in SFI, which is their daily business at home.

I think this question calls for being a AN AWESOME SPONSOR.
First question to ask oneself would be am I doing it right? By doing it right I mean are you;
Leading by example?
Treating your business like a business?
Doing something everyday to grow your business?
To mention but a few. For more on how to be a great sponsor kindly refer to this link for more detailed information: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor

In one of the 'being an awesome' Tips in the link above we are encouraged to work with the workers. You cannot waste your time dragging and trying to bend a horse to drink water. Save yourself the kick.

Be Honest
From the very beginning after I signed up with SFI I was told this is a real business and a real business takes time. That was honesty coming from SFI. My subconscious mind prepared me for a long time business building feat which I am OK with. Being honest lets you know if the affiliate is a tire kicker or a potential future leader. It works like crazy!

I believe that after your Affiliates have seen what you do and seen the success you have exemplified they will be motivated to work their business too.

Success has rules and we must follow them. Use the SFI link above to learn much much more and I am confident you will find it VERY useful

To Your Success with SFI and A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I'm assuming that we are talking about SFI affiliates. Of course, they may also be E-Commerce affiliates, TripleClicks affiliates (bidding at Pricebenders and buying and selling products), a Wave3 member, and IAHBE monthly subscriber.

Personally I use all forms of advertising and even purchase affiliates and/or bid on them at our penny auction. Their are free posters that you can print off for free, SFI, TC, and Wave3 cards, postcards, and gift cards.

There are two main ways to get affiliates to take SFI seriously:

1- After sponsoring an affiliate, send weekly messages to the whole team, get knowledgeable yourself or pass on information from your Co-Sponsor, Sponsor, Upline Sponsors, a2a friends and the forum.

Observe your workers VP ledger and offer help and advice one-on-one. Answer questions for any of your downline as soon as possible and on an individual basis. Offer contests, give motivation, recognition, and reassignments.

2- Sponsor pre-qualified affiliates. Go out into the community and talk to people for all the programs within SFI, including TripleClicks (Pricebender Auction, buy and sell, E-Commerce Affiliates), Wave3, IAHBE, and so on. Some small local businesses or online businesses may like a monthly subscription to IAHBE, or sell their products on our TC Store that has a huge market all around the world, but also local.

Another way to get pre-qualified affiliates is to purchase a mine website at your TripleClicks Store. You can get one made for you and hosted for you for under $6.00 USD. I bought 3 for the price of one and gifted them to my best affiliates. It was a nice way to say thank you and Merry Christmas.

Advertise for a business partner and list the skills required. You'll find people often even send you their resumes. Don't offer false hopes though. Make it clear that this is not a paid job. Offer it to young people, retirees, stay-at-home moms or dads, anyone who needs extra income on the side on a long-term basis.

Hello Ester and all SFI Affiliates

The best way to approach this issue is to be honest and upfront with all of your newly sponsored affiliates on your team. DO NOT try and overinflate your team with false promises and anything that would make them believe that SFI is a "get rich quick scheme" (including your advertising) I try to stay away from the words, quickly, earn money now, and really anything that goes against the affiliate agreement, General Rules and Policies, and The Rules of Success

See a lot of the time people get the idea that ALL mlm and affiliate marketing are part of that "get rich quick" theme that has been going on for many many years in network marketing this CANNOT be further from the truth.

explain to your team that with any "REAL" business including a regular bricks and mortar retail location there is a learning and a growing stage that EVERY one of us has to go through some people find their niche fast other people take their time building a solid foundation from which their business grows from. It's all relative to your (their) situation, depending how much time and or money they can invest into their business

But to be honest a lot of people do sign up as affiliates thinking this might be their "get rich quick " way out of their situation but in fact there is no such thing as a "get rich quick" road to success and fortune (if there was we ALL would be getting paid big bucks for doing nothing but sign up for programs and pray for the best)

BUT some of those who do sign up thinking that do make SFI their full-time work from home business and DO survive the first 6 months to several years without seeing much in terms of benefits other that maybe a small commission till they build up their business to a successful level and when that light goes off in their head saying "I'm Glad I stuck with it" it will all be worth it

My three things I live by in SFI are

1.time- time is your friend "eventually" you WILL sponsor 5 (or more) great team leaders
2. Patience - if you do not have patience it's like trying to harvest your crop of wheat in the same season that you planted it it's not going to happen
3. Perseverance - There will ALWAYS be rough time and difficult decisions to make getting through them and getting on with building YOUR Business is key just because someone says it's not possible does not make them right.Prove them ALL wrong.

So to sum it all up some might sign up thinking about getting rich quick it's YOUR job as their sponsor to set the record straight and teach them the Ultra-Simple 3-Step Plan to be successful with us here at SFI

I hope this has shed some light on this great issue

Thanks

The first thing you should do is that you convince them that SFI business IS a real business. If they think they can get rich in no time and without any effort, they will give up quickly, and you will lose them forever.

What I do when I contact my affiliates is the following:

1. Tell them it will take time to accumulate profit. Business needs time to expand. The same goes with SFI business.
2. Tell them to read and learn. The more they read, the more they will know. One idea leads to another - most people who join SFI are unaware of possibilities it offers.
3. Encourage them to open their store at TripleClicks and visit and update it regularly.
4. Encourage them to visit forums, learn about duplication, contact other affiliates. Different people have different business ideas, so there is always a chance they will realize that a real approach to SFI business is the only one that leads to success.

Be persistent in persuading your affiliates that SFI is a place where they can both learn about business and apply what they have learned. Be prepared that some of them might not understand you. Focus on those who are following you.

“SFI is not a Sprint but a Marathon!” I read in the Forum. Couldn’t agree more.

Can one run a Marathon without training, preparation or equipment? Obviously NOT!
How can one expect to run a profitable business without studying WHAT to do, WHEN and HOW to do it properly? It is, apparently, NOT possible!

How come so many people expect to make a profit, get rich overnight without the necessary preparation? Get realistic! Online business is like any other business, so new SFI affiliates should consider themselves lucky for joining a company with FREE, easy fundamental training and a big family of people willing to assist their success.

The message to convey is:
If you are serious about this business:

1.Educate yourself reading all the training materials available in SFI. (https://www.sfimg.com/Training/)

2.Do one task at a time, spare your energy, don’t get overwhelmed and frustrated. If you calculate your moves wisely, you’ll not only finish the “marathon”, but finish among the first!

3.Create a set of goals to set up a plan (What, When and How). This will give you direction.

When you feel ready, go for it!

Calculate your prospects, follow your plan, invest, face the daily toil and don’t give up until you succeed!

Good luck!

I will get my affiliates to approach them that SFI is a real business and also a long term business plan. So you will not be able to earn money from next day or week after join SFI.

When you go to a school, college, institution for study you have to cover a course and the course duration may be one/two/three years or anything else. You shall have to be qualifying yourself first to get certificate after completion of the course and after completion of the course you are also eligible to search for an income source. In SFI you have to complete a course also of Internet Marketing Business to read and study everything before earn money.

In other studies you have to take training, coaching, purchase books to spend your money but in SFI you will get it free including supports 24 x 7 as SFI website is open for 24 x 7 hours which is a great advantage to you. You can easily do your work in SFI in your convenient time in a day of 24 hours which you never find. SFI is an open International platform of Affiliate Marketing Business in which you can do your own business with full liberty and without any bossing or to give any explanation to anybody.

If you want to set up a business offline you require a large Capital to invest for an Office, a Go down, Staffs, labors etc. and take a risk of Profit and Loss whereas SFI provides you all of these free with zero risk and you can assure a handsome monthly income even life time to do business in SFI. But SFI is like a Term Deposit of a bank. There are no gimmicks, fake assurance to earn a lot of dollars daily, weekly, monthly after join in SFI.

As SFI is Real Business so it has millions of affiliates today since its birth in 1998 and thousands of peoples joining SFI daily which you will easily find in your own eyes whenever visit SFI Website

So if you have a challenging attitude, positive thinking, self confidence, not in search of a quick dollar earn without any positive effort then come and join SFI to build a strong and structural business of your own to assure your second income even lifetime.

The best approach starts with the recruitment process. If your advertisements are direct and honest about the possibilities with SFI then you are less likely to have problems instructing a new signup how to go about the process of becoming a leader with SFI.
If you purchase "guaranteed signups" then buyer beware! Most of these signups only join because they get paid a few cents to do so, and never have any intention of participating. However; that said even those who join in the aforementioned fashion are worth contacting and sharing the opportunity with them; you may spark their interest and get a "diamond" and not just a lump of coal.

No matter how you recruit you must spend time by emails, direct phone contact, or Skype, training them in the proper ways to advance in their new business. If you act like a professional in all your contacts with your new people you will soon have professionals in your team.

Demonstrate the viability of SFI business by comparing it with any real
brick-and-mortar business where the rental itself can take away a major
portion of your investment when you try to establish yourself at a site
from which you are likely to attract "enough" customers.

In addition, you may to deal with a big enough inventory cost even for a
limited number of items carried in your stock.

SFI involves none of the above two major expenses while providing budding
entrepreneurs with a million [... or more ? ] eager customers.

It also provides a large enough choice of merchandise to promote with zero
inventory cost and sufficient profit-margins for all the sales accrued and
matching discounts for your own purchases.

Once you can get your affiliates to see that what they perceive as a large
expense towards retaining their EA2 position is, in fact, coming back into
their pocket in the shape of these buyer's discounts; your team will grow

In this era of scams and greed we should choose wisely where we spend our time and money. Luckily SFI is not one of them!And you know it.Now the problem resides in the presentation area.
It has come to my attention that to do that properly you have to present SFI as lifestyle,as part of your life ,as something you rely on.Something you believe in and something that you trust in.Here are some of my suggestions about how can you do that in proper way:

-Work on your badges -they are your spokesman

-Whenever you talk(or chat) about SFI show excitement,appreciation,respect and gratitude.Share your story, say how it has changed your life,that you are satisfied and that you can't wait the next month,say that you earn well (but don't break the rules of course-don't tell exactly how much.Say how many figures your income has and for how long.For example:"I made 3 figures income in 2 months!!")and so on.Be honest, of course.People can tell when they are being sold off with "pumped up" words!!

-Strongly advise them to be ACTIVE ,tell them to read something SFI business related after they do "to do list".The trick lies in the mind.They have to have SFI in mind, if not all day ,then at least few hours a day.As if they just do the "to do list" in 10 min. and log out the chances are they will get bored and gradually stop logging in!!They have to THINK about SFI and come up with creative ways to present what they are doing.

-Inspire and motivate them to go step by step and not to be disappointed if they do bad in their first months.Incite them to search new members,referrals and to make sales.You also have to share your strategies with them,so they will have something to keep them busy,as excuses indicate lazy or poorly motivated people.

-Put an effort and creativity to your presentation/advertising.Just saying "Real internet income" or any other text that everyone uses won't help you much.People LOVE to feel special.And you have to make them feel like that.Play on the vanity ,but stay true to your opinion of them, as it will seem as flattery!!Show them that SFI is indeed unique and SPECIAL opportunity and if they are also special SFI is perfect for them!

-Send them to testimonials page!!

Good luck on your ventures :)
