Referring friends and family can be easy and hard, beneficial and bad. Some will respond better than others, but ultimately you need to find the one like you.
You need to find the one that is driven. The one that is sick of their job. I ended up at SFI because I was sick of my job, and I have coworkers that feel the same as I do about our job. So guess who I'm planning on referring first. These will be the most likely be the easiest to get to sign up, last the longest, and work the hardest. Same for family members. If you find the ones that are unhappy with their job, they will be that much better. Especially if they are searching for a job and can't find one.
But how to approach them?
Whether you are new to SFI, or you have been a member for a year, there is a simple way to get people intrigued: "I'm so sick of this job, I turned to the internet and found a legitimate website." This is where knowing facts like SFI started in 1998 and they are BBB accredited come in handy. Of course you can put your own spin on it, but the point is to first get them interested, so that they ask you for the information. After talking for a while, if they don't ask them for it, you can offer to give them the information on how to join.
Just remember that it is easiest to succeed if the person has some money to invest. If they don't have any money, and you can't help them out, they may become tired of doing something when they see such little return.
Do not push them, as this can create annoyance, and eventually tension, at work or in the family.
Good luck, and remember, this can applied to anybody that you meet in your own way.
