1. We can begin with a courteous greeting (good morning good afternoon and how are you?)

2. Know your audience...find out what individual like (familiar topic to talk about)

3. Practice face-to-face conversations with persons you are familiar with

4. Personally, I find that I am much bolder in the presence of those I not know (with the thought that I may not see these persons again anyway)

5. Sometimes groups that you know may be harder to deal with. They

Face-to-face approach are not always possible but whenever you can put your body in front of someone the thing to concentrate on is, not the sale, but what you can learn from this prospect during the sale that will make you better when your next sales opportunity arises.
Take the time to give a fair analysis to every face-to-face encounter, even in non-sales situations. What did they say? What did you say? Why did they show interest? What was the trigger that closed the deal? Why did you lose

The simple answer is "learn to accept No for an answer".

The reason that you do not approach people face to face is, you would get hurt if rejected. But, once you learn to accept that you may be rejected, this hesitation will reduce.

Most of us want things to go as we want. But that is not always possible.

Like, you buy a share of a company expecting the prize to go up. But that may not happen. You should not regret the decision.

So shed the

This was a problem of mine growing up. I had to overcome this fear to pursue my career choice so I understand the issue.

The first thing I would tell you is that you are not "good" because you lack confidence. You may fear that you will appear ignorant, or that the person you approach will reject YOU as a person.

1. - Know the subject well. Any person that you talk with will quickly evaluate if you know what you are talking about.

2. - Don't be a "Salesman".

There's a quote: "If you can look up, you can get up". "Focus on your potentials and not on your limitations". The bottom line of what we're trying to do here is usually helping them (our friends, colleagues, businessmen, neighbors, etc.)discover the additional income as solutions to their needs to attain financial problem just like we did. Now, if you're confident with the SFI business then we can face them by showing them the benefits you received in S F I/TripleClicks, its

Hi!

First, the good side to this business, for people who are not good in direct communication, is that their potential collaborators and clients do not need to talk face to face, because the whole business is conducted over the internet. Of course, if you want, you can let your friends and acquaintances to explain what it means to work for SFI in a very simple way. Simply tell them what you are doing on a daily basis and how much you enjoy working, exercising daily, weekly and monthly

I definately suggest that you try online advertising. It is the best thing to do if you are not good face to face. Make a website where you will explain what is SFI and how to make money. It is important that you stay active on social networks because that is your main source of PSA's.
Come up with a good text that you could send to anyone who even starts thinking about online jobs and send him that.
Thats all i can say to fix your problem.Or maybe the other option would be local advertising,

Well dear,
There are many ways to improve.

Approaching people face to face is known as warm marketing and its just the feel of meeting a friend.

Anyway, please check out SFI Marketing Ads, there are lots of ways or techniques we can use.
Place a card on a car wiper, hand a giftcard or a wave card, paste TripleClicks sticker on your vehicle, or leaving a card on your seat or your restaurant bill.

You may try post banner on some advertising site or may send

Take a self improvement class on public speaking, keeping in mind that everyone is there for the same reason to become better at it

Know your topic before you present it, research it, provide promotional materials as well as gift cards, incentive to check it out.

Have fun with it, the more you do it, the better you will become and have fun doing it.
