Great question!

I am 55. I know the value of my current retirement status and what I will or will not be able to live comfortably on. I joined SFI so that I could start a 'work at home' opportunity to build towards financial freedom for the future. If most 55 year olds are like me, they have a lot of computer experience, business sense, and people skills. Not to mention wisdom and maturity.
The maturity to 'stay' with a project even when it is not always "exciting". The discipline to stay on course, make goals and follow them through instead of jumping from one project to another.
The ability to stay on course is not a skill that just older experienced people have, there are a lot of young people that can also stay the course and be dedicated.
When I was in my 20s, I had friends advising me to plan for the future but I didn't listen. I wish now that I had. I didn't go to work for a company that offered retirement or 401K, until I reached my mid 30s. I wish I had listened to my friends back then.
Working with SFI now gives me hope for the future; that I will be able to work from home or anywhere. Not be tied to a telephone, or beating down doors to make a sale. It offers 'work' freedom from anywhere with an internet connection, a smart phone, ipad, or computer. Or if I want, I can make calls or beat on doors.
It also offers financial residue income instead of just a one shot sale/commission.
My hope for the future looks brighter now with SFI because the possibilities are endless for financial freedom and security.
I would recommend that people in their 50s join for the same reason that I did. Not only that but I recommend this to all people of all ages with any computer skills so that the earlier you start, the sooner you can work from home, the beach, or any where you chose and enjoy your life the way that you WANT too!!!
I hope this helps!

This is actually the perfect age to join SFI.

All the objective, subjective and emotional circumstances are present to motivate somebody to join, work diligently and succeed.

At 50 and plus, one is knocking at the door of retirement. One is evaluating their financial circumstances. Worries about Financial security are pressing.

Statistics show that the majority of the world literate population at this age does not have financial stability and the years down the road look bleak. I am using the criterion of literate, because it is a condition to be successful here. One should even qualify it as computer literate of digital literacy: the ability to use internet tools efficiently. Not the very sophisticated ones, but at least the basics.

At this age, there is a pressing need to find additional ways to earn supplemental income.

Understandably, your question is implying that one may feel relatively old to embark on new business ventures. That perception is not fully accurate. On the contrary, with the advent of internet technology and tools, the pressure of starting an online business is much lighter than the obstacles of starting a brick and mortar business.

The second aspect of age is: longevity. Life expectancy has improved significantly. Today, a 50 years old can expect to live another 20 years or more of active life, if his/her life style is healthy enough.

In consideration of such life expectancy, the need of steady, strong residual income is self evident.

In today's world of internet business and online ventures, what is the best opportunity to embark on in search of supplemental income?

SFI!!!

Actually, many affiliates are making it their primary source of income.

When the question is put under these terms, the answer is obvious.

State the facts. SFI is perfect for people of all ages and those 50 plus will love it's wholesome roots and dedication to building a work ethic and maintaining a high moral standard.

SFI is not a new business, they have been around for 16 years and their parent company has been doing this type of service for 3 decades. Combined with the Bronze Membership in the BBB and consistent high reviews you can not find a more certain investment when looking for an online business.

SFI Training

You wont get lost in jargon or filled with fluff. The training is broken down into easy to swallow pieces and put in layman's terms. Many of the things they will learn will directly relate to things they already know.

Investment is minimal. If they are on a fixed income they can still run a viable business with under $40 a month in cost. If they spend more it doesn't change the results, only the time table.

SFI can become the perfect supplemental income earned on a schedule that leaves plenty of room to enjoy retirement if they are at or nearing retirement age. They can even leave their business to a spouse or adult child should they pass on. This business can be a means of securing an inheritance that is by and large not subject to estate taxes.

If a person leaves cash or property, stocks, or bonds then those items are assessed a estate tax. But leaving their downline in SFI is not leaving a set sum of money, it is more of having someone assume a job title or position with someone else's company and all earnings from that venture will be new money earned as income by the heir. It would be the equivalent of a CEO for a public company naming their daughter Company President and training them to step into the role of CEO when they are gone.

SFI above all appeals to our older citizens because in a day and age where people are profiting selling businesses with no walls and products made of air like e-books, 90% of out business is based on real tangible products. You are not selling a virtual membership, or digital this and that in most instances you are able to market and sell things people need, use, and want.

SFI allows them to open a store without the overhead, long hours, and hard work. They can make good money referring buyers to other people's products and have full choice of what to promote and what not to promote.

If one is over 50 and is still in the workforce, he's got the remaining 15 years to prepare him for retirement.

Getting started at this age is really the best time to be in SFI.

As a 50-year-old, one is past the age of worrying about finishing school, finding a job, getting married and raising a family. He can then check SFI further and start planning for retirement. If he starts now he can be financially free before he reaches 60.

Some may not be married at this age for personal reasons or choice and therefore no family to worry about except his own life. Still retirement beckons. What will he do to fill up his time then?

Convincing a 50-year-old person of the fulfillment one can experience in starting SFI, in getting to know and be friends with other people from other parts of the world without going away or getting out of the house can be very attractive.

Sharing happy and profitable experiences with him will help too. With minimum financial investment and with heaps of time on his hands, he can become financially successful and personally fulfilled being in SFI before he hits retirement age.

There is no age requirement to succeed in SFI. It is specially suited for mature-age people because of the large circle of friends and acquaintances that have been developed by this time as well as the experiences and knowledge useful in starting a peoples business like SFI.

To answer your question directly, let me state that people over 50 are still within the “Earning Years” of their lives. As such, many still want to get involved in business to earn money. At that age, the best business for them is one with no commute, no overheads, no huge capital outlay, needs about an hour a day to do, offers the owner residual income potentials for life and is not very physically demanding. SFI represents all these and more. Reveal to the fellow the following salient facts about SFI:

Tell the person that when compared to other businesses whether online or off, the following facts make SFI very unique.

I am 52 and at my age there are several things that are going on in my mind. This is exactly the reason why I joined SFI.

1. People at our age we are most concern of our retirement fund. Money that we can use in our old age. SFI is the best platform to build our retirement fund. We can invest $50 a month and after 1 to 2 years we can already have a stable flow of monthly income.

2. People at our age we can no longer work using our physical strength - SFI is just done with a little knowledge of internet.

3. People at our age loves to stay at home - SFI is perfect work at home.

4. People at our age loves to travel once in awhile - Saving the money earn from SFI can bring us to the place where we want to go.

5. People at our age love to give something for our grand children - With SFI we don't have to look around to be able to buy something for our grandchildren.
-
6. People at our age like to make little projects - With SFI we can fund these small projects that we want.

7. People at our age loves to give to charity - with SFI income we can easy share with joy.

8. People at our age want to leave a business to our children - our SFI experience can be taught to our children.

These are the talking points that you can use when you want to convince people at our age.

Dear Fernando,
I believe everything else that you have used and always use to convince other people to join SFI should actually be applicable irrespective of a person's age. having said that I think the following might just be more convincing for the over 50s;
1. When people are over 50yrs and are employed, they are gradually approaching retirement age. therefore, by joining a reliable online business like SFI, they will not be reduntant per se when they leave employment.

2. Give them confirmed statics of the meagre retirement packages that people are getting, on average. This will make them revisit their scenario and surely if it is not rosey, they will be convinced to join. No one would want to struggle financially in their golden years of life.

3. With age, most people tend to be afflicted by several medical conditions that need doctors' attention. Chances are medical insurance might not adequately cover the medical bills, hence the need to have extra income from a business such as SFI.

4. Besides the health reasons, one would also just want to live comfortably and be finacially stable and enjoy holidays etc in their old age. Why not supplement or even cover such expenses with income from SFI.

5. Depending on background, some people of that age might be "internet illiterate" and therefore would shy away from such a business. It is critical to explain how SFI has a copehensive training programme and also how one will have mentors to help.

Enjoy your SFI business irrespective of age

I am over 50 and my reasons for joining SFI were:

1) I can't survive on my social security alone, so to supplement my social security.
2) SFI was free to join which is great because I have little to no money.
3) SFI has been around since 1998 and has survived the economic roller coaster this country has had
to endure.
4) I can work when they want, not on someone else's schedule.
5) SFI if FUN and a way to bring in some extra income.

It may take some time, but if you follow the training and everything SFI has to offer, you can see something by way of commissions. Even if it is only $0.62, it is something, and you haven't put any money into it. Imagine what you could do if you COULD put money into it! Work towards that goal and you may be surprised.

Hope this helps!

If someone over 50 asks me about what I tell them is that, "I am an affilate marketer for a global online shopping mall called, TripleClicks".

When someone sees me it is obvious that I am over 50! (I am 81)

Then I say, "What do YOU do?" (Asking questions is one of the secrets of success.)

Very quickly, the question of what my prospect is doing to reach retirement comes up. I wait for him to ask how I got into..."Did you say 'Triple Quicks'?

And then I explain how I looked at more than 30 programs over 6 years until I found Secure Future International and knew instantly that it had everything that all the other programs did not have: Free training, Free websites, Detailed instruction, Products to buy and sell, etc. "Besides, I like working from home with my computer on my own schedule".

"Would you like to take a free look at what I do?", I ask. They always say "Yes"!

As I hand them a '$12 GiftCard' I mention that SFI has been going for 16 years and is a Bronze member of the BetterBusinessBureau and tripled the membership to 1.5 million in 2013. (Remember to get the last 4 characters of the code on the card and at least their first name. Sometimes I have to write it on my hand.)

From then on it is up to them.

And I just keep moving on.

Most people who are in the workforce, who are over 50 are thinking very much about their retirement. SFI is a perfect home-based business for them to supplement their income.

Here’s what you can do:

- Start conversation about the recent surveys of workers and retirees that approximately a quarter of them have less than $1k saved for their retirement.

- Ask him/her about his/her retirement planning. With his/her possibly low current retirement savings, you can motivate him/her to take action right away by having their own SFI business.

- Ask him/her if you can do presentation about SFI and its benefits; be creative in doing your presentation. Explain to him/her about the extra-income benefits of having his/her own SFI business

- Give him/her a “Grow A Second Income X-Card” and mention that you’re available if he/she would like to know more. Don’t forget to give him/her your contact information.
