People want to see practical results. That means you will need to keep earning from SFI and then show them proofs of your earnings.
Words have impact,especially from loved ones. Therefore, you will need to consistently encourage them to keep at it and in the future, their family members will change their minds when they see profit in SFI.

You can keep your affiliates to move on without listening to what their friends and relatives would say about wasting time. As their sponsor you can prove to them even your downlines can see what you have achieve so far like being a winner for instance in any Price bender Auctions bidding, the commissions that you received, the items that you bought using
just your MRP ,only shipping cost is being charged instead. Those are some proofs that you can show to them how great really SFI is. Is is

In business it is always best to SHOW your family that it works by doing well. Then they will follow. Family is almost always the toughest sell of all. Don't stress about it. Just do well and then they will follow.

Encourage them to "go for the badges"; build their self esteem. Self accomplishment is always a winner.

When you have your family and friends that assume the work you want to do is not worth bothering with, you need to sometimes look for another alternative to win them over when they are negative, if you have already shown signs you have a team building and you have a sale list growing and how much you earn that can be a good thing that they can see your income you are making is real, when there is no starting point to convince family and friends to join your team, you some times have to take your

Family and friends can inspire or discourage one even if the person isn't in the SFI business opportunity. The opinion these valuable people express shows they are interested in the success of the Affiliate. They want proof that the Affiliate is engaged in something worthwhile. To be motivated, remind affiliates to focus on their goals...the goals they wrote down when they joined SFI and keep working through it daily. The Sponsor should review the Affiliate's business model: sponsoring, building

It may seem strange, but not all our family and friends wants us to succeed. As the saying goes "Misery loves company." The thing to impress on your affiliate is, How successful is this person? What do they know about business? Have they ever run a business? How successful in life are they? If you want advice on a car, would you go to a doctor? No, you would go to a mechanic. Why? Because the mechanics have experience in the field that you need help with. As the saying goes "The
