No one can blame the prospects for being skeptical about SFI. Didn't we too were so at the first time? Unless the sponsor was a known and trusted person, anyone will be cautious.

After we got active in SFI, we have learnt a lot to show the prospective persons how legitimate and real is SFI program.

Before SFI, we have to prove that TripleClicks is real and exists because it is TripleClicks which we, as Affiliates of SFI are promoting.

Though getting in to the TripleClicks’ site and viewing the products themselves suffice to prove the genuineness, we can also show them how active the site is 24x7, every hour by showing them the T-Time draw and the link to last hour winners list; show them the ever ticking Auction area and the latest winners list and other deals.

With regard to SFI we can show them how every action of ours is rewarded and recorded and how systematic and transparent is everything.

Show them how every affiliate is free to connect with others and exchange messages, seek help and offer advice.

Give them the links to the profiles of senior team leaders who are with SFI since more than a decade.

A look at the forum itself will prove that the members of SFI are real, genuine and humane, ever ready to help others.

The final proof could be our testimony about receiving our commission money every month.

The world is full of individuals who would always prey upon their victims by ripping them off financially one-way or another. Unfortunately there will always be victims scammed by such individuals into believing the possibility of attaining quick money via online business. Due to my inexperience in the past, I have personally been a victim of various online fraud, pyramid schemes and other useless affiliate programs. This has taught me a great lesson over the years on what to look for in identifying a legitimate online business.

There are several key elements one can point out to a skeptic prospect that SFI is a real and legit affiliate program.

1. Long track rock.
We know that Carson Services Incorporation is a parent company of SFI, which is based in Lincoln, Nebraska. SFI has been in existence for 15 years. Since there have been a lot of fraudulent companies, regulatory agencies such as DSA and the United States government heavily scrutinizes the multi-level marketing (MLM) industry and have shutdown many companies that are fraud or impossible to achieve any success. So for SFI to be in existence for such a long time, this fact alone proves its legitimacy. Most useless MLM companies last only within months or few years after their establishment.

2. Transparency and trust worthy.
Since SFI is an online business, there are several ways one can check the company’s legitimacy online. SFI has in the past challenged any skeptic to physically visit their offices premises, to remove any doubts of their physical presence. Also, when looking at the SFI URL web link you will notice the site starts with https://. The “S” after the http indicates that the communication to their servers is secured and therefore safe for online purchases and other transaction activities within their site.

3. Information resources and support.
Unlike other companies, SFI has tremendous amount of information resources and excellent support to assist affiliates in their SFI business. The huge information resource can be found in the Marketing, Reference, Training, and Support section of the SFI website. Inside these individual sections contain vast, rich and huge amount of information for both experienced and inexperienced affiliates.

4. Appealing to affiliates.
When an individual has interest towards anything in life, human nature has a tendency to naturally have commitment and motivation working towards those things of interest. For all those affiliates who are passionate towards their SFI business, then naturally they would not have any problems to easily convince others to be involved with SFI and prove it’s legitimacy.

5. Initial investment requirement.
Other MLM companies require huge initial capital investment to just join their affiliate program. SFI is completely free to join and does not require any funds to start. This is one of the most favorable traits with respect to SFI.

6. Policy on returns and refunds.
A good MLM company should have a good policy on return and refund on products or services purchased. SFI via their Tripleclicks store has excellent refund and return policy based on each individual product. Any company that does not have a good return or refund policy should not be considered a good company.

7. Prompt commission and/or other payments.
A true legitimate MLM company would have an established prompt system of payment. With more than 1 million affiliates around the globe, SFI processes affiliates commission on or around the 10th of each month without a fail. This clearly shows the company’s excellent financial health and thus ability to pay its affiliates.

8. Showing SFI success.
One of the most powerful ways to convince a skeptic prospect is to physically show success one has achieved in SFI. Once a commission has been paid, a person can show the proof to the skeptic. This act would surely make the skeptic believe and trust that SFI real and legit.

These are some of the points one can implement so to convince their prospects on the legitimacy of the SFI business. As we can see SFI is a real and legit. Those who do not take part and be active in their SFI business will greatly miss out on the rewards and opportunities that come with it, to achieve great success in one of best and real MLM companies in the business.

Hi Karmen,

Here is how I start all my welcome letters to new affiliates. I also ask them to contact me.

"This is NOT an internet scam, but a real job, SFI started in 1998 and is the only internet company I've found, that offers so much for free.

You are GIVEN your own business without spending money to join or having to invest a lot of money that you would have to with any other business.

Let's imagine you're an owner of a new brick and mortar business, this is what you'll need:
1) Technical know-how to run the business and/or schooling to learn how.
2) A lot of capital for schooling, for inventory and advertising. (Did you know most people are afraid of marketing? They're afraid because they don't know what it is. Marketing is just advertising your business. It's that simple.)
You can't be a success without knowing how to run a business, have inventory and letting people know you have a business.
3) All the responsibility of owning a traditional business as: business hours, rent, electricity, heat/air, employees, insurance, accountant, workers compensation, just to name a few.
4) A traditional business will continue to cost until you make a profit or run out of money. On average most businesses take 5-7 years to make a profit.

With SFI all tools, education information, and techniques are provided for you instantly and for FREE!
You have FREE marketing tools and FREE courses that teach everything you need to know to become a success.
There's NO: Inventory, deliveries, utilities, employees, or set hours!
You made a good decision joining SFI, so now let's get to work."

Now it's up to them. If they don't believe, then you really can't do anymore other than keep sending messages regularly. Sometimes a few will come back.

I hope this has helped.

The first thing you have to keep in mind is the two certificates on the homepage of SFI before logging in, you have one that says "Certified by Geo Trust" The second is BBB accredited.

If you click on the Certified by Geo Trust, you will see the mailing address, email, and phone number of Carson Services Inc. You also see the the serial number.

This is just one piece of information to give to all prospects, both skeptical or non skeptical.

You can also point out that SFI is free to sign up and try out so anyone out of curiosity can sign up to see what it is and try it for as long as they wish and if they don't like it they can just opt out, without any penalties, or other strings attached.

Two things that you should print out and have your prospects read is the article "About SFI" https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/AboutSFI and the lesson on the launch pad Day 2 https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/Day2

If your prospects are still skeptical after seeing this then just keep it moving after all in the rules of success they tell you not to waste your time with skeptics.

Good question! "There is a lot of fraud on the Internet. How do we convince skeptical prospects that SFI is legit and real?"

Internet is fast changing the lives of the people across the globe.
More and more people getting attracted to net based income opportunities. This leads to a lot of fraud activities and scam. People's greed to make 'quick and easy' money is so intense that it sometimes overpowers their financial wisdom. They get attracted to flashy schemes, that promises of impossible returns and getting caught in a trap. Actually there's no 'get rich schemes' existed anywhere! If there is such a scheme, why people offer this schemes for a few bucks?

Most of the rookies ventured the net seeking an income opportunity lost at least a few bucks before they find a real one, like SFI. Most of them got skeptical like 'scalded cats fear even cold water'.
It's difficult to convince these skeptical prospects that SFI is legit and real but not impossible.

01. The first thing is that this is 'NOT A GET RICH QUICK' scheme.
Ask them that if you owned a Get Rich Quick scheme that worked, would you sell it?

02. Credibility and standing: Over 15 years standing as a solid business; and debt free.
Ask them: 'did a company exist this long if it's not doing legit business?

03. Give proof, success speaks for itself.
Show them the profile of people among their country who are successful leaders in SFI. Give the Country Leaderboard link: https://www.sfimg.com/Leaders/Country. So they can check it themselves. We have people from almost all the countries.

04. No financial commitment, ever: Tell them this is a free to join program. Just get register, observe and study about this program before getting active. They have nothing to lose, except a few hours.

05. Give help and support.
Tell them that as their sponsor you are always reachable for any help or advise whenever they are in need. Hand out them your contact details and always respond to their communication.

These above mentioned points are sufficient to crack the resistance of a skeptical prospect. Besides these you must be a pillar of strength during your presentation with people who are skeptic.

Give importance to these things:

01. Be calm, do not argue with your prospects even if he or she is wrong.

02. Don't seem desperate or excited.

03. Be friendly and never try to force your points.

04. Listen their arguments and gain their trust.

05. Be prepared to give as much information as needed to convince the prospects and give only the facts. Be always transparent. And finally;

06. Know your prospects, know your business and believe in your own words. Be confident, only then you can gain the trust of your skeptical prospects.

Keep your explanations simple:

SUSTAINABILITY is the Key:

The sustainability of the system is crucial point between a fraudulent and a legitimate internet business. SFI has a 15-year track record.

No one is going to keep paying just to keep the site running.

1) Payment of staff salary: Note that SFI's system structure cannot be a "one-man" show and no one man will work for free.

2) SFI's activities are running on very high bandwidth. How much would it cost to maintain a dedicated server? And, to keep the system up 99.9%, tendency is a backup server is required. What would the maintenance cost be like?

3) Check out the new features Gery has been churning out to ensure a "fair trade" system. The percentage of $$ that are "kicked" back to the active affiliates, the products at Tripleclicks that goes for a fraction of price, and so on.

4) The legality aspect of the site. Has anyone seen a fraudulent site running for more than 10 years?

Personally, I believe any site that has a sustainable income is a legit site and SFI is definitely one of the best. You don't get evicted if you don't pay rent. Your don't have to keep inventory. No recurring payments - including utility bills, etc.. A "reap as you sow" business which you can build at your own time, own pace and own budget.

Hope this helps!

This is a good question because most people especially in my area do not trust online business. I believe the first thing is to tell them that SFI is joined for free and offers you free training to start. You also tell them that SFI is accredited by Better Business Bureau which implies that its a genuine business for it to be recognised by a reputable board. You should also tell them that SFI has been in business for more than 15 years.

Most people believe in seeing so this is also the best way to convince them. Show them the print-outs of commisions including all other cash which you are paid from SFI if any. If you have won any item on pricebenders auction, show them the item and if possible show them the shipping paperwork as a proof that it came from Tripleclicks. If you have a Pioneer Debit Card, show them the card and the balance on the card if you can. You can even use the card to buy them for example a meal at a local food outlet.

Last but not least, tell or show them reputable Businesses or Companies in your local area which are ECAs. Also tell them respected or reputable people who are SFI affiliates in your local area if you have any.

I hope this will help.

First of all, scams don't stay in business for 16+ years.

They don't fool over a million people to join, or hundreds of thousands to stay on.

Scammers don't have a website in the "Top 1500 Best " list, nor do they falsley connive to get hundreds of respectable vendors to sell on that website.

Scams don't let people join for free, provide a no-cost, quality education on Internet Marketing, and then pay their Affiliates 45% commission on items sold, on time, every month.

Here, there are no up front "training fees", no "Kit" to buy, no monetary obligation EVER. Yes, you can buy resources and supplies to promote your business if you want to. You can buy your loved one a beautiful, handmade ring, or the tablet they will go crazy for. You can purchase cleaning supplies, supplements, vitamins, furniture, food, clothing, car parts and candy - all at a discount - or you can get those things for full price elsewhere. No one will twist your arm. You can invest money into your business, or you can invest time. It's up to you. No scam will EVER give you thàt choice.

Last, and most important, YOU believe in SFI. You are not an idiot, nor are you naive. You are becoming an expert through the Launchpad Lessons and Internet Sales course. You know the site,you know the system. If you are sincere, people will know. YOU are the best and most legitimate reason for someone to have faith in SFI!
