In my experience, if you want to have active members who are committed to SFI on a long term basis, these are some of the considerations you have to cultivate in your marketing campaign.
1. Start by talking to family, friends, colleagues at work and acquaintances. You already have their telephone contacts, email addresses or know where they work. You can convince members easily because they trust you and in many cases, friends and family are known to support people they know.
2. Encourage your members. Give out incentives for their accomplishments either by way of T Credits or Gift Certificates. It is great to receive these in the form of surprises. As their Sponsor you can monitor their progress and performance on a day to day basis and this acts as a guiding tool for you.
3. It is easier to handle your affiliates if they come from your own geographical region because you can communicate easily with them, there are no language barriers and if need be, you can also meet to discuss the way forward. Use advertising tools that help you recruit affiliates in your area before you move outside.
4. If you have a marketing idea that others are reluctant to try but you wish to explore, do not be afraid to implement it. Do what you do best.
5. Do not anticipate your results to be negative especially when you talk to people about your business. It does not matter if some will not sign up, sometimes it takes time for your strategy to show results. Be patient.
6. Every effort you put into your business will count towards your accomplishments in the future therefore nothing goes to waste. Avoid the "I wasted my time" mentality.
