The best way to do this is through the products SFI has at TripleClicks.
Find what products are currently being purchased in the household...vitamins, dish detergent, carpet cleaners, floor cleaners, etc.
Find the comparable items in TripleClicks, and begin printing flyers with ingredients for SFI...because, these products, unlike store brands, are more eco-friendly, provide more content such as a higher percentage than the recommended amounts of vitamin and mineral content in vitamins, and beter ingredients in all health foods sold at SFI/TripleClicks.
Also, compare the better prices at SFI/TripleClicks and put them next to some sales flyers at the department stores, and grocery stores, and also write the commissions earned for switching to better quality and more quantity merchandise than store-bought offers.
Show your life partner that for each product purchased donations are made for Care. Here is the TripleClicks ad: "Giving Back
TripleClicks donates a portion of every sale to the international charity CARE."
Show the earnings calculator.
Print out flyers and ask for assistance with passing out "free" flyers, placing "free" ads, show how even "not" spending money helps earn real money.
Show the PPA (Paid Per Action) Program, on ways to earn money without an investment. Then show what each referal earns, long-term, if you chose to keep them on your team, instead of obtaining the short-term income from referring into the PPA program, instead of as a PSA (Personally Sponsored Affiliate), instead.
Show that is is possible to make money without an investment. Also, show how much better it is long-term to invest into the business, even by small purchases you currently make already somewhere else...
Continue to ask for assistance with free advertising, posting business cards, flyers, continue to promote SFI/TripleClicks ads with its eco-friendly ingredients, and better quality items, and lower prices, also show how prices are less with standing-orders, instead of a regular priced order, although still lower priced than store bought, either way.
Make sure to take pictures of items at stores when sold-out, and mention that if it was placed on standing order, there would be no need to worry about store-bought items running out...they would be replenished automatically, each month, and would earn you an even bigger savings on the items, and a higher commission...
Also, if you share your items and low prices at places people share coupons, such as libraries, PTA Meetings, consignment shops, etc...even if you cannot convince your partner...others will see the savings and join your team, and you would earn from their commissions earnings just from your efforts to convince others, not just your partner why it is better to switch to higher quality items, that cost less than store purchased.
Also, make sure your partner sees where you are advertising...use tracking codes to see where people are finding flyers, coupons, and other ads.
In time, your partner will be convinced...but, make sure that you convince others too...and even before making an investment with your own money, your business would be funded by other's purchases, as well.
If you are not ready to invest financially it would be wise to invest in time, and efforts, and build a team of others that can help out financially, and with time, too.
Spend time convincing others, not just your partner. Encourage your partner as one would encourage team members...we can start with family members, but continue to promote to community, as well...
Best wishes
