Thanks so much for this wonderful question.I believe both stages are important.First of all you took the initiative to introduce someone into a business opportunity,so it is equally wise to guide that person until he or she is confident enough to stand on their own.Your passion and love for assisting your downline will go a long way in building a very strong team.

I also believe that your downlines will be able to transfer your training and love to their own downline and thus conduct this

This a very wonderful question and answer it , i would consider a few factors. People join marketing businesses for various reasons; some out of curiosity, thinking they may generate quick income, some may not have enough time to devote to SFI, some may be due to lack of understanding, lack of passion for this type of business, lack of finance to access the internet on a daily basis, some may also be because they are overwhelmed by the amount of information and training.

All the same,

This is a very powerful question. It is the same as asking how do you see that your child is intelligent. I know this may sound unrelated to a business question.

There are different types of people, e.g. those who perform well under supervision and those who hate supervision. Some of the signs that someone is going to be a good affiliate are: passion, hunger, knowledge and the ego satisfaction.

Passion: There are people who just enjoy dealing and communicating with a lot of

Hi my friend, this is one of the best excuses in network marketing. A lot of people will bring about this excuse because they don't want to be directly involved, but they want to earn. A business like SFI internet based, as such, you don't need to know people personally, but through social media such as facebook, twitter, google+, linkedin, and so on and so on. You can create thousands of friends globally.

You can start this business by inviting your family, friends, church members, club

First of all,our team members should be made aware that they are running their own businesses without having to be supervised.Some of the advantages of running your own business are:
1.Liberty to determine your working hours.
2.Freedom to determine earning potential.
3.Enough family time.
4.Great Training,Support & Compensation Plan

The list of advantages is endless and SFI offers a wide potential for financial GROWTH.THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!

I quite appreciate your question although it seems really difficult to out-rightly say with confidence which affiliates are best.

Your free advertising medium may bear you much fruit by getting very active affiliates or vice versa. It is only you who will know whether this or that affiliate comes from your free or paid efforts.

The main issue here depends on the passion or hunger of the affiliates you are going to receive. Some of them may just be dormant and inactive from the

Thanks so much for your question. In life and in business you will always be faced by negativity, either from friends or from family.

You may be exposed to negative comments because of various reasons, e.g. jealousy, envy, or just from a defeatist mentality. Other people are just negative by nature.

Your friends and family think they know you best, so some of them do not expect to see you taking a bold step towards changing your life. Some people just suffer from what we call

Your question is nice, but i don't think you will get an appropriate answer. If we all knew the answer, we would all be rich by now. Some affiliates may seem interested at first and do all required tasks in SFI, and suddenly quit. I t is every leaders dream that your affiliates remain active. It is so difficult to take a horse to the river and make it drink! A lot of people want to achieve great results without too much effort. It is like a lot of people want to go to heaven without working for

I would like to answer your question in a very simple way. There are multiple of reasons that influence the performance of each affiliate and i will just mention a few: (a) Lack of knowledge. (b) Lack of patience (c) Lack of finance. (d) Lazyness and many more. To be successful in any network marketing business, involves a lot of reading, practice in terms of presentation. In this type of business, you are carrying the image of the company and it's products. If you are not willing to learn and share,

The reason why a potential affiliate might want to hear more about SFI is because he/she might have heard about the business somewhere else. The desire to know more is the positive signal for interest, so the affiliate seeks more explanation.

My starting point would have to bolster their confidence that SFI is not a scam and that it has been in existence since 1998 and during that period it has impacted the lives of millions of people globally. The other beauty about this business is the
