If you have to work at convincing someone to join SFI, it is not his time to join. You will find that if he is coerced into joining hey will need prodding every inch of the way to EA, if they make it that far.
It is far better to ease up on the skeptics and just let them watch you become a success. You can add a little spice into it by asking them for help with, say getting your new photo into your profile. There he can see your badges. And if you need to check on your Genealogy while he is there, show him how much information you can get from it. Do not emphasize the size of your team, he will catch that himself. Then go and enter the hourly T Time contest.
Be excited and enthusiastic about your business, but keep it your business unless he indicates that he is interested. This may indicate that it is now his time to join.
Do not show him your commission. You may think that $300 is a good size commission, but when you are making thousands, he will remember the $300. Also, his commission will never be the same as yours. He won't have the same determination, etc. So so don't set him up for a mental failure by giving him something to compare to. Don't challenge his to out do you. There are enough challenges to this business, don't add more. We each succeed at our own level.
