Hi Diana
When someone joins SFI they are involved with their own 'Start-Up' business. The only difference is they have been provided with the tools, training (SFI Affiliate Centre) and the retail outlet (Tripleclicks).

Any new 'Start-Up' is going to need enthusiasm and investment.

Success is achieved through matching your income with your level of enthusiasm. Imagine a line chart with two lines, one is blue and shows the level of enthusiasm, the other is red and shows the

It is through QUANTITY that we find QUALITY.

Sponsoring is a numbers game. The more you sponsor the more motivated successful people you will find. You are going to have to dig a lot of COAL before you find your DIAMONDS. Having said that you can target your advertising to particular places that will bring you more active affiliates.

If you are mining for people who are going to take SFI by the horns and create a successful business you need to advertise

Greetings Karmen

Jut point out that:
* SFI is rated by the Better Business Bureau
* has been in operation for 16 years
* has over 2 million members on Tripleclicks (which is one of the most visited site globally)
* thousands of new affiliates join SFI every day
* SFI pays affiliates active every month WITHOUT FAIL

...and share your own experiences.

That should do it. If they are still skeptical it will be up to them to prove it for themselves.

1. Buy from Tripleclicks and encourage your team to make purchases from Tripleclicks. Don't concentrate on Versapoints. They will come through doing the usual Daily To Do list items and having a standing order.

2. Recruit Ecommerce Associates (ECA) and Tripleclicks members. Reward them with Gift Certificates or Gift Cards.

3. Become an ECA and sell your products or products supplied wholesale by a third party.

4. Build a team of affiliates, support them, reward them

Hello Natasa

My advice for new affiliates is NOT:

+ Give up before they even get started or understand how they will earn an income
+ Listen to family and friends who tell them that they are being scammed
+ Be frightened by what they see when they first arrive. It is a simple business
+ Ignore the advice from their sponsor or the emails they receive from SFI
+ Take any notice of members who try to recruit them for other business opportunities
+ Think

Hi Natasa
Some people you will never convince but, if they are here they obviously had a reason to join. You need to:

+ Identify why they joined and then show them how they can achieve it through SFI

+ Setting an example yourself is the best way to convince others.

+ Keep in contact with people who join your team, even if they are not signing in.

+ Ensure they understand from your welcome message that SFI has been around for a long time and has only

How do you handle being rejected over and over again when presenting the SFI opportunity to others?

Hi David and all other SFI Affiliates

For me rejection is a part of business. Without rejection you cannot improve your presentation.

Also understand that it takes most people 7 times to be exposed to something new before they will accept it as being real. That is why you see the repetitive advertising on TV and on billboards.

A tactic I use for sponsoring and to avoid rejection is to go to the same place at the same time over and over. This could be business network

Greeting Stephen and fellow SFI Affiliates.

Goals are set as follows and should be written down ON PAPER so you can read them in the morning and before you go to bed each day.

1. Where do I want to be?

2. Where am I now?

3. How do I get from where I am to where I want to be?

4. What am I prepared to do and give to achieve my outcome?

Go on, write it down ON PAPER right now. When you have read it out loud to yourself, EVERY day, morning

Greetings Subhomoy and fellow SFI Business Owners,

When I get the answer 'I do not know enough people' I ask

'Who do you know who does know a lot of people? 'WE' can ask them to join the SFI business with you as their sponsor and 'WE' will find more for you when you have completed the Launchpad lessons'.

As Always

Thousands of SFI affiliates are doing the same thing. How do you stand out from the crowd?

Hello William,

I do not try to stand out of the SFI crowd. It makes more sense to stand out in a crowd that knows nothing about SFI. Standing out in a positive way with people who are not involved with SFI attracts people to you who may become some of your best 'movers' in your SFI business.

To stand out in the crowd on SFI may bring you some reputation but I believe you should be standing out as a leader to your own team members. That is important not only to your business
