A very good question,

To him that believe all Things are possible, autopilot would be a very good idea but it will cost a lot of technical application and skills to achieve such a feet.

But I believe it will make one lazy and there is nothing more profiting than constant learning and improvement.

I am afraid it would not be a good example for ones downlines. Improvements can only be achieve by disciplining oneself to do the daily, weekly and monthly activities.

Strange question! Why would you want to set up your SFI business to run on autopilot?

If you were a pilot you can fly your airplane on an autopilot, only if your plane is already cruising safely on a recommended altitude.
Even then the pilot has several hundreds of lives on his hand, including himself, so he can't afford to leave his plane on autopilot for a long time and let the computer do the whole work of landing the plane safely on to the ground. You'll crash.

It's

For me the straight answer is no.
This can not be done because an autopilot can not do the many decisions that you'll need to do. For instance you can not predict what will be the question or need that your PSAs might want solved at any particular time, hence you need to be active in PERSONALLY building your team.
I guess that is one of the reasons why SFI calls them Personal Sponsored Affiliates.
Hope this helps?

I am sure there is a way to have your SFI business run on autopilot - some people are very ingenious and can figure a way around the tedious or menial parts of jobs or projects. There are certain portions of the SFI business that offers the automated tools.

Personally, I would not try to go 100% on auto pilot, simply because I want to have first hand knowledge of 'what' my business is doing, and 'how' my business is doing. I don't believe you can do that by operating on auto-pilot.

Ha Ha Ha!

If you are setting up your own business (after spending time, effort and money for infrastructure/machinery, initial investment, overheads, whatnot) will you leave it to run on its own after setting up an automation process? Will you not keep a daily tab on what is happening? Would you not be keen in knowing where it is failing...and how you can improve the situation? Will you not work towards making your business successful and profitable?


Same here, friend.

From my point of view, running SFI on autopilot would be a serious mistake for our business.

One of the most important things of our business is the ability to interact with others, using the tools provided by SFI.

Building a team requires personal effort and dedication to maintain a constant asset to the working group.

Automating these tasks would be so bad for us because we would lose the feedback and contact with our members and customers.

It may

Obviously no! You can set up an autopilot to run a specific system but it is absolutely obsolete to run a business even SFI

Business needs systems like autopilot, auto responder, search engine and so many. With these it also needs manpower to maintain the systems as without manpower a business never run smoothly. Remember manpower is at top level and it is primary. Machinery is secondary. If there is no manpower who will maintain the systems!

So you can set up an autopilot

No, you cannot run your SFI business on autopilot because sponsoring is the crux of your business. So there is no way you can run this business without sponsoring Affiliates and your job as a sponsor or a co-sponsor is to be available to your team members to offer friendly guidance and support in a timely manner as your personally sponsored affiliates (PSAs) start out on their journey by answering all their questions and making sure that every AFFILIATE you sponsor has checked out the actions

I personally do not run my SFI business as an auto pilot system but it can be done. I have seen others use the following strategies to set the "auto-pilot" system up:

1. Create, prepare an auto responder to incoming messages related to SFI business needs;
2. Set up an SO for each month so that minimally an EA2 status is maintained;
3. Create an auto recruitment system for recruitment to help grow their down line.

As stated, I do not prefer to run my SFI business

My friend, you can't set up your entire SFI business to run on autopilot. However, you can set up some aspect of it to run on autopilot; like the S-Builder Co-op (awesome for building you down-line), Auto-Bidder (great for winning auctions),placing banners on sites (to get referral sign-ups for both SFI and TripleClicks).

Your daily actions and other aspects of SFI has to be done manually. If you see this as a real business (which i hope you do), you'll make the time, after all, we are
