I too am one of these people who are very shy to the point that I can clam up and my brain just goes blank and I wouldn't know what to say.

But SFI is such a great company that it provides tools to help people like me.

I like the Wave3 Kit specifically the decal. You just stick it on your car and everywhere you go you are actually doing advertising. If anyone goes up to you to ask about TripleClicks, then you just hand them the X-cards. Tada! You don't need to approach people, people will approach you instead.

If you happen to be free tell the person that you are free at the moment to talk more about TripleClicks. Then use your smartphone to show them the site. For me, just concentrate on your phone. I know this is probably not good. People say when making presentation you should look someone in the eye. But I know that I will just stutter and clam up, I just focus on my phone and keep on going through the SFI and TripleClicks website.

If you're not free, give them your email address. Or better yet, get their email address so that you can email them to explain about TripleClicks.

And leave your X-cards everywhere. But don't litter. At the bus stop. In the taxi. At the cashier counter. I am ok with emails, but face to face I am lousy. So this is what I do.

And finally, find some self help books from TripleClicks on how to reduce your shyness. It is slowing your success in SFI in away. So to reach your dreams even faster, improve yourself.

In marketing SFI/TripleClicks face-to-face to your prospects, you will need to learn some skills to achieve success. You need to educate yourself of the necessary skills in order that “prospects don’t join a business, they join you!” In network marketing you’re dealing with people joining you--your prospects.

How to improve your face-to-face approach of your prospects? To answer this question, you will need to look at four factors that affect your approach and presentation:

- Your appearance.

Some details about you (grooming) could distract your prospect. You should watch what you wear and be aware of your body language.

- How you build rapport.

In building rapport with your prospects, you should pay attention to the following:

1. Pronouncing the name of your prospects correctly during introduction.

2. You should use compliments carefully.

3. You should respect personal space.

4. You should look for common ground.

- Your organizational presentation and professional habits

Be prompt in meeting with your prospect. Be prepared with your pre-approach information, have a clear agenda and always state your purpose in the beginning.

- Your Manner and Action

Don’t forget to shake hands during introduction and after presentation. Keep an eye contact during presentation. Don’t smoke or chew gum. During your presentation, you should maintain an attitude of enthusiasm.

Your grooming, clothing, accessories and posture affects first impressions of your prospects. You should, therefore, dress conservatively and appropriately, choose accessories carefully by keeping it simple and pay attention to your grooming. By working on your physical characteristics, you’re getting the prospect to take you seriously.

During your presentation your first ten words should include a form of thanks, and watch out for clichés. Plan ahead and keep your presentation quite simple. Failure to prepare in advance could lead to stammering or faltering speech, either of which creates a negative impression. You must be ready to alter your prepared approach, if the situation demands it.

"If you are not good at approaching people face to face, what are some tips to improve in this area?"
Short and sweet, practice and it will get easier, Be truly enthusiastic! Small steps.

While out shopping or doing daily activities like filling up at a gas station, cashing out at grocery store, filling up your coffee or soda and kwick mart, going to drive thrus. Simply say Good day sir or mam, or Hi, great day isn't it?
I'd like to share this with you today (give them a card or flyer).I am only allowed to give out 3 of these a day and I think it may be of interest to you.
Something I came across and It's sweeping the internet like crazy!
Practice, Practice , Practice!
Or ...Here is a gift for you from me. Take a look at it later when you have time. (doesn't have to be a gift card).
That was pretty short. They will probably ask. What is it?

If you are shy keep it short.

I would love to chat right now... but I am really running late for an appointment or meeting. You won't be lying, they don't need to know your heading home, going to pick up children, going to the park it is an appointment you set for you! :)
End the conversation before leaving... "I just know Your going to Love IT!!!
You could even place it in an envelope with a small Christmas, Thank you, get well card, new home card and the like. Here is a small token or gift for you, I hope you like it. I know your busy open it later when you have time. I've Gotta run! Have a Great day!
That is what I do everyday, every single day! :)
Practice in a mirror with a friend or spouse. Write out a few things to say to people and go through the list before leaving or going out for the day. Practice or think about them while driving. One small step at a time should really break the ice.

Remember to smile! You can do it! I have the upmost confidence in you! You are a doer a go getter! Best of luck and Great question. Not every one is outgoing. When you start doing it, it will bring momentum and once you do it daily, when you miss a day it's like your day didn't feel complete. I know it sounds weird but I feel useless without my FREE Gifts to give to all!

It is said that knowledge is power, when you have that knowledge you are confident. Hence the first thing is to know your business. Read all the information that is provided about SFI and Triple Clicks.
2. Use your family and close friends as your clients. Speak to them about the business. This will boost your self confidence.
3. Make your own business cards to leave with prospects. You can tell prospects to check out the link on the card. You can get their contact details so that you can check back with them to get their feed back.
4. You can print or purchase fliers,posters or cards from the marketing page to distribute to prospects.
5. Speak to them about a product whose subject you are comfortable with such as an Eager Zebra game or a TripleClicks product. Leave them with a card , poster or flier.
6. If it is at all possible you could log onto your SFI business and give them a first hand preview.

It can be hard to start up a conversation if you are not an outgoing person. Here a few things you can do to help yourself improve your face-to-face skills.

The first thing I would do, if you have a car, is buy the Wave3 starter kit and apply the decal to your car. This serves as a good ice-breaker, as there will be people who are curious and ask you about it. Make sure you carry some business cards with you that include your TC gateway URL on them, so you can hand them to people in exchange for their contact details.

You should also sit down and write a 1-minute introduction that outlines the main benefits of TriplClicks and SFI. Make it sound as natural as possible, and then memorize it. That way you are ready to give a summary to anyone who asks about your W3 sticker, or anyone else you are talking to about your new business.

When you do talk to someone, try to be as natural as you can. People can sense a sales pitch, and most will immediately put up a defensive wall. Put yourself in their shoes, and try to focus on what you think they may be most interested in. For example, you could talk to young people about TC Music or EZ games, or talk to older people about the range of health products, or talk to homemakers about the social interaction in the forums or the penny auctions or the trivia game.

Don't try to sell the opportunity. Our job is marketing, not sales. Marketing is simply sharing information about the opportunity and telling people where they can find out more. Leave the selling to the professionals who have written the gateway pages.

But the most important thing you can do is explore SFI and TripleClicks, and find the areas that excite you most. Once you have found them, think about who is most likely to share your excitement about those things, and focus on them when you talk to people.

The more excited you are, the more interested they will be.

Hope this helps.

Promoting any type of network marketing or direct sales business is a People business first and foremost. People join people, not businesses. And they're more likely to sign up with you or buy a product from you if they get to know, like and trust you first.

A lot of people make the mistake of practicing "in-your-face" instead of "face-to-face" marketing tactics. That's not something you want to do. It may actually hurt your reputation.

My best tip is when you do meet someone you'd like to be friendly with, just stroll up and start making small talk, like chatting with a friend. You want to start making "friends" with people first, and build a relationship with them.

Get to know them and their interests and don't even mention your business. You can chat about kids, household stuff, hobbies, cars, etc. and let them ask you what you do, where you work, etc.

Then simply say you work from home online, and let them ask more questions. Then you have to gauge their responses. If they seem interested in learning more, give them a little more at a time, but don't be aggressive or overly excited.

You want to subtly lead them into asking you more questions; pique their interest a little at a time.

For example, they may ask what the company does or what they sell. Just mention one or two things, but not everything all at once.

As an example, if you buy and use one of the household products or one of the vitamin supplements, you can mention one or two of those and how much you like them. And again, let them ask you more questions so you can gauge their interest.

Hope this helps!

Hi Deniece,

When I was in grade 7, about 12-years-old, I had one heck of a time in front of people. I wasn't shy, I was self-conscious. I took an acting class and it was my turn to go up front and role play. I bombed. I told my acting teacher, "I can't do it, they're all looking at me." My teacher replied, "Of course they are, you're performing."

So I became a performer. I danced in front of the mirror and family friends alike. I performed like a class clown everywhere; I just had fun and let loose. I came up with my imitations of a chicken and a penguin; I did them in malls to make people laugh.

That is my advice, Deniece, just become a performer when you talk with people. Relax, be animated, get excited, talk with your hands. With a big smile and a wink make an offer: "If you sign up, I'll show you how I do a chicken or a penguin. You pick."

When I became a performer at a young age, it set the stage for my future. My sense of humour has gotten me through some extremely tough times. Looking back, acting class was a plus, not the doom it seemed then, given what I became.

If you aren't ready to let loose and clown around in front of people yet, you might want to try what I did: Talking to myself then role playing in front of a mirror. (I felt stupid at first so I did a lot of laughing but I stuck with it.)

Now, you wonder? I'm 55 and I have spoken in front of large audiences. (I made jokes even then.) It can be done.

All the best. Good luck!
