Please ask this person what was the bad experience he/ she suffered? Whether some initial investment was needed to join? whether the credit card information was stolen? whether commission was not disbursed at regular time?

In order to convince someone to try SFI when they've had bad experiences previously with online businesses you need to let them know that:

1. SFI is free to join. There is no start-up cost so even if they decide that they do not want to be a part of it at a later date, there is no money to lose.

2. There are free training materials available, so even if you have never been a part of the business world the free training materials will guide you to be a very good entrepreneur.

3.

I must tell you that I have had more than my share of bad experiences with online opportunities and can relate to your question. I would go so far as to say that if you named five online businesses, you could find my name on their member's list of at least one of them if not more. It's really tough out here and you only learn by trying and hopefully you get one that pays off.

The one that did it for me didn't last very long and was structured very similar to SFI but was

People in this situation will think you've been scammed or conned and will undoubtedly accuse SFI of being a pyramid company. I hear it frequently.

My advice is to take it slowly and cautiously and don't try to convince anyone to try SFI. When you are making some money, you can say something casually alluding to your extra income and respond to a person's interested questions.

A great opportunity to share and arouse genuine interest and excitement is there when you have won

If anyone has had pretty bad experiences on the internet, you will have to be very tactful to be able to convince them to try SFI. Start by admitting to the fellow that the internet world or cyberspace is full of good businesses and bad businesses. That there are also plenty of scams masquerading as businesses on the internet. Remind the fellow that as the saying goes, you do understand that “once bitten, twice shy.” Assert firmly that inspite of the abundance of scams, there are still very legitimate,

This is a good question. You could start by telling this person that SFI (which means Strong Future International) is peerless and unbeatable in the Internet business industry. Provide the evidence with the following pointers:
1. SFI is a member of the Better Business Bureau which gives it international credibility
2. It has a sound track record of more than a decade in business on the Internet
3. SFI does not promise and specifically discourages an attitude of get rich quick. See

Give your own substantiated proof that SFI is different. There are many ways in which this can be done.

You can point out ‘SFI BY THE NUMBERS’ to them. Highlight each of the 9 points and be careful to give the latest statistics and make a comparison to figures that were recorded before. This would help them to recognize that SFI is a moving organization.

The training materials and resources that are provided and that are easily accessible to all affiliates are up-to-date

Trying to convince someone of anything may be an almost impossible task. I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but you will probably just get yourself more frustrated than if you just left them alone and moved on.

However, providing them with accurate information about SFI, and some testimonials from yourself, your sponsor maybe, or perhaps your upline would be a good start at showing someone how good this program is.

Also, SFI has a proven track record since 1998,

We communicate and share the following points through writing regular mails, personal blogs, audio-visual clips, online chats/ conversations and skype.
1. Sharing with them some evidences, testimonies and successful examples: Affiliates have some fear and they are reluctant and skeptical because of their bad experience in other online businesses. They try to participate in many to find a genuine and real one so we have some affiliate returning back later when they realize that SFI is the perfect
