The answer is simple to put down on paper but sometimes can difficult to implement.
"Trust" is built over a period of time through actions.Actions that bring about a trust:
- Initiate a warm and friendly conversation like you would with an unknown person in the real world.
- Get to know your affiliates likes,dislikes,strengths,etc. The more you know about your affiliate and his/her intentions,goals you are in a better position to guide him.
- Once you know a bit more about your affiliate personally,start talking about business and what actions can be taken to improve.
- While you do all this,ensure you answer any and every doubt he may have.In case you are unable to answer immediately,seek outside help of your upline and various SFI resources.
-Communicate,communicate,communicate.The most powerful tool.Do it on a daily basis if required.

The Internet is arguably the biggest change of the last twenty years. The impact could be compared to the automobile since it has changed peoples’ habits and behavior everywhere. The world is connected and utility growing at a rate of 100 million new users a year. Most people use the Internet and many businesses simply cannot operate without email and the World Wide Web.
The customer and the business purchaser both use the Internet as their primary source for any and every information,so it is necessary that the marketing techniques adapt. Consider the following comparisons:
•Cost-effective - An ad on the web is way cheaper than placing in a print magazine or newspaper with a far greater potential reach.
•No Restrictions –The ad is not restricted by national, geographical, broadcast or distributor boundaries.
•Target-based clients -Customers at your site are already pre-qualified. They came because they are interested in what you have to offer.
•Long-term Cost-Effective :A website is open 24*7 and promotes your company and its services for years. A much greater return on investment.

I need a mentor. What's the best way to find a mentor for SFI?

Good question.Easy answer but tricky to implement.
Your topmost upline sponsor is your best mentor.This person has reached the current level of being right at the top by doing few key essential things.
You will only know when you communicate with the person.Since you are in his downline team,it is also in his interest to help you grow in this business as that will make him more profitable in this business.So there is a mutual benefit.
I have done this myself.There are a couple of top upline sponsors whom I contact whenever I have self doubt or I cannot understand the lessons already in here.The answers I receive have helped me almost all the time.
REMEMBER-THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS! IT IS UPTO YOU TO KEEP SEARCHING TILL YOU FIND THE RIGHT PERSON TO HELP YOU ALL THE WAY!

How do I get my downline to focus on duplication? How do I explain the importance of duplication to them?

It is important for your downline to first understand the concept of duplication.
To understand the concept,you need to set the tone.Duplication means doing exactly what you have done being practiced by others. SFI has built a fabulous system with various tools and aids to support every single affiliate serious about making money .
If I have adopted either all or some of the practices,then I need to share with my downlines.I need to share my experiences and insights learned from the experience.There are some basic ingredients to success which need to be followed without any questions asked.If this is carried out by your downlines,be rest assured duplication is happenning with or without you realizing it.
Duplication will actually start to happen when the downlines see:
1.Success gained through the tips you have shared
2.Proof of income shared by adopting some business expenses
So,it is very important that you share what has worked for you rather than blindly talking about the concept of duplication by itself.Examples will help all affiliates understand and visualise the route map to success.

Why do some affiliates find success with SFI in just weeks, while for others it takes months or years?

Firstly,I believe this question will find various interpretations.How is success defined?Earning a lot of badges for performance or actions?Earning money through this business?building a strong downline?
An online business has various elements just like a traditional business.For it to succeed,all the cogs must fit the wheel.It takes loads of practice to get this right and I believe the majority of the people who get it right in the first few weeks have practiced the art elsewhere before joining the SFI bandwagon.So these people have already put in their time,money and effort in learning the different elements of online business before they joined SFI.This education and experience made them use the various opportunities available and succeed immediately.
Of course,one can never discount what we call "the beginner's luck".It is possible some of them have this going for them and they also succeed in the first few weeks.However,this must be a minority fo people and I feel not more than 1% of the total internet business population.
So,it all depends on how much time we put in to learn the different techniques and then implement them all.That is where the success will come.
