Excellent question.
It's all depend to what make you comfortable to market SFI to which
Group to promote.
Most suggest Including SFI for that matter any business advice you
To promote to friends and family especially if you are a beginner or
Have no experience with this kind of business to gain some knowledge
While you are learning about the business to yourself. It is the kind which fits Earn while you learn kind of Idea.
Some also suggest it is better you promote to a total strangers, who are
Already in place to this kind of business (marketing) since they are searching and looking for opportunity or to supplement their main
Income and down the road to make or replace this their only source of income.
Now both of them have advantage and disadvantage to you to
Motivate you to grow your business or to go down the drain, depends
on your own strength and how much you are motivated to keep SFI In any circumstance even if you don't see result at first in terms of money other than gaining knowledge, since it is a long term business and the growth of the income comes in later months and years but steady flow income as long as you work on it.
Ok promoting SFI for friends and family as it seem a great idea
To build your business it is also friends and families are the first
One to quit your business too. As you now most people join business
With emotion In fact most experienced will tell you if you want to
Close the sell you better do it while their emotion is high and before
It cools off, the same way if you go to buy a car the sells person
Will try to sell you right there while your desire rate is high knowing
If you leave that place you might change your mind once you come back to your right mind.
This scenario will fit most but not all to friends and family.
They will join you because you told them about it and maybe you insisted
And they will do it just to make you happy even if they have no desire
To stay with it unless they were already looking for opportunity, and
Once they are in it depends what you told them in the first place about
The income part weather they will be rich in short amount of time or it
Is a long term slow but steady growth till they reach the third or fourth year for most people, If you explain that they will stay with you otherwise when they see no income coming in a few weeks they will be out of the door.
Strangers on the other hand, could act the same way like family
And friends but in a lesser degree,
The reason for that is they are already looking for opportunity and searching different outlets through advertisement either on paper, internet or other sources and they are open to try sound good business.
But still the honesty of your promotion is the key to keep them once they join you. You have to experience that in the first place being honest to gain trust among your prospects. In that case you will attract more quality prospect rather than quantity. You can have a mass but when they find out that they were mislead they will leave.
At the end for me I love to have strangers at any day. I work with them very well. I can be as close as friends and family members with them by my approach. First strangers then friends and family second.
Strangers are ready, hungry, sick and tired of their living situation
And want make change in their life. Family and friends will come
Later when they see your life change, since they are very skeptical
At first. ( Seeing is Believing ) very sad. I had friends who used to tell
Me, "let’s see you when you get succeed, then we will follow you."
Sound familiar?.
