We all lay our hopes high in almost each PSA we get,I know it.However,it turns out that many of them are not so serious about SFI,for different reasons.

When searching for new PSAs,maybe you can look more for quality then only for quantity.That should be common goal for everyone.


Basic things you should ask prospects are:
- if they have a computer and internet connection
- do they know basic English
(the late is not necessary,since there's Google,but still it's quite welcome if they are OK in English)

That alone won't bing you serious affiliates,but as I said that would be basic criteria.Furthermore,you can tell them (or ask them) some of the following:
- if they are able to work constantly (each day)
- if they are willing to learn more about SFI and this business in general (self-training)
- if they are able to invest their time and some of their money (not much)
- if they are able to promote their business online and offline (or,if not,are they willing to learn it)
- if they are able to work in a team (the winning team),possibly consisting of different persons (man and women,young and old,people from all the world)
- do they realize this is not "get quickly rich" scheme
- do they have dreams and goals


If the new prospect meets all above criteria,I would say that chances are pretty high that you have a very,very serious prospect in front of you.Try not to loose him or her.

I am pleased to know that someone wants to only recruit serious affiliates. I am pretty sure that many people in SFI want to receive only active, working affiliates.

When serious affiliates is your target for prospects then it is assured that you will need some kind of filtering system before getting your prospects to your JMT (Join My Team) Gateway.

You will also need to understand when looking for serious affiliates you are going to get a lot less responses and even fewer sign-ups. But if one person does sign up then you would have someone more likely becoming an active down-line affiliate.

Make it so your first advertising contact has some kind of survey like the one listed below and that they must answer the survey and send it to your contact email – then you will send them your Join My Team Gateway if they have answered the questions to your satisfaction.

In your survey ask questions like these:

1. Are you looking for work at home business?
2. Do you have a computer and Internet connection?
3. Are you willing to invest 10 to 12 hours a week building your business?
4. Success takes time – are you willing invest 2 years before seeing success?
5. Are you willing to invest up to $100 to start a new business?
6. What are you willing to invest per month to build your business?

You can thank them for taking the survey and that you will send them some free object for replying to your survey (A TripleClicks Gift Card).

If they respond to your survey then more than likely you will have a very good lead and the chances are they will be someone who is active and trainable. As to how effective this system is I cannot say – I am still testing.

The main thought that I am trying to get across is that you really can’t start with SFI information to filter your prospects. Telling prospects about SFI before filtering them will get you the same exact results that you are trying to avoid. Your prospects will hear the words “free” training and “free” to join and “no investment” to get started.

You can go to Google and type in the search bar “Pre-qualified leads” and you will get hundreds of sites where they offer that kind of service – but beware it is easy to lose a lot of money with corrupt sites.

Soon after joining SFI I realized that it’s possible to build a massive team if you’re happy that most of them are inactive.

Because having a massive, inactive team can’t grow my business, I decided I would rather recruit serious affiliates. It might take longer to build my team, but in the end it is worth it.

I still have many PSA’s from shortly after I joined SFI who are totally inactive …

But,

I now have 4 PSA’s who are doing very well (all 4 have been team leaders for 2+ months) and this is how I recruited them:

Firstly, I told them right off the bat that I needed people who want to build a business, not a hobby. People who are realistic and know it takes time to build a solid online business.

I told them about the Fast Track and Standing Order and how much investment they would have to make. I also stressed that it is very important to be willing and able to spend time and some money growing their business.

When they joined SFI they were ready and accepted that they had to get on the Fast Track, get a SO etc. They knew that although it was free to join, they would have to invest time and money. In other words, there were no surprises.

I think that by letting people know about the time and money they have to invest before they join, you will ensure more serious & active affiliates.

Good luck!

Recruiting Serious affiliates should be the goal of every serious-minded affiliate of SFI. As you know at the end of the day only serious affiliate offers compensation to the sponsor.

Even though the scheme is FREE to join, you need to emphasize some facts which naturally sieves off many freebie minded prospects, these are:

1. This is a home business not a job. All tools, training, products and support are provided but it is their responsible to utilize these.

2. It in-builds great corporate and personal support.

3. It is not a "get rich quick" scheme. It takes a bit of time and effort to grow it.

4. It requires a little initial investment to speed up success. No business thrives without some sort of investment, this business inclusive. But the overall compensation comes in many folds.

5. It requires marketing. They basically need to recruit to the scheme and refer great products and services to customers. All the tools, websites, products and training are provided FREE.

6. It provides amazing earning potentials. Your income skyrockets as you reach some milestones!

7. It slowly makes you wealthy.

8. It guarantees residual and leverage income for a Lifetime.

9. It guarantees Financial Freedom.

If all these are highlighted, whosoever still signs up would most likely go all the way!

Since I want to recruit only SERIOUS affiliates I want to tell the truth about the SFI Business.

SFI is free to join, it has lots of free instructions on how to build the Business, lots of good information. There is Affiliate to Affiliate (A2A) friends as well as Sponsors and Co-Sponsors for the new Affiliate to go to for help in their new business.

First of all this is a Business, and it needs to be treated like a business, not a hobby.
One cannot develop any kind of business if you do not actively work at learning the functions of the business. You need to know that there is a need for what you are going to promote.
You need to know that you can fulfill a need that people have.

As for me, I had a need, I had been disqualified for my job because of a bad back and loss of high frequency hearing. We sold our home (on escrow - we were carrying the finances through a bank) then we moved to a smaller home. Shortly there after we turned on the TV and saw that home on fire. Destroyed! Our life work gone up in smoke. Then we learned that there was not insurance in effect. That was a real education, a costly education. The people who were "purchasing" the home took in Foster Children one of which was a pyromania - a fire starter. The State of Utah would not take any responsibility for the placing of that child not indulging the state of the child before hand.
So the loss of $100K+ was all ours. To make a long story shorter, after trying to build other Internet Business's which turned out to be, not what they were purported to be, we found ourselves in thousands of dollars of credit card debt. So we had a NEED.

We found SFI..... Here I am 80 Years young, and working to recover from great loss.

SFI follows a proven Business Model, It has been in business over 17 years, with a great number of people joining every day from all over the world.

SFI is not a "Get Rich Quick" scam. It takes ACTION just like any legitimate Business to make it go. There is not any business that can turn a profit without advertising, the business must get customers / clients. At SFI we can market Product of our choice for an income.

So you set up the groundwork for what the business is about.

Action in learning the Business which develop Action Credits for our training.
There are Games which develop thinking our reasoning which use T-Credits which are either won or purchased, which also can be used to win more T-Credits to further raise your earning level.

One must if we desire to build this business the fastest be able to, by personal choice, expend some money for advertising, to purchase items in our TripleClicks Store, which would normally be purchased from a Mall or some other Brick and Mortar store. It is good insurance to hold on to CSA's to have at least a Standing Order which will produce 1500 VersaPoints, and increase our earning potential.

These are all things which should be promoted to perspective Affiliates, to let them know that it takes action, it takes involvement, it takes commitment, it takes caring for one's Business, and yes to grow this business in the shortest time possible it takes some up front investment, yes for speed it takes some money invested. It should be a labor of love, something to enjoy as we work toward a desired goal.

To grow this Business we must be able to help others get what they want, we must find one way or another new affiliates who desire to fulfill a need. Need more money, want to get out of debt, a desire to become wealthy......

Most outside business's cannot be relied upon for retirement funds. Social Security in the USA can not keep up with the desired life style. Socialist Government fail!

With SFI and a lot of enjoyable work and learning experiences we can develop a RESIDUAL INCOME!

I hope this helps.

Let's say you've got a constant stream of potential affiliates, and you know that a bunch of them aren't "serious"--that is, they're likely to go inactive quickly. If you want to weed those out from your income stream, so you only get those who will do the work, tell them the hard, honest truths that will cause them to give up before they sign up:

* SFI requires daily effort for lasting success.
* Success is NOT instant--they may have to work for months or years to succeed
* If you don't like sales or promotion, don't bother because your commissions are a major source of money.
* You can spend money to help build your downlines or boost your VP ranking, but that means you're spending money rather than making it.

Those who understand that *you* are making money doing this, even if it's just a few dollars' profit a month, and who are willing to put in the effort, will see the value. Of course, you may find that your stream of potential affiliates has slowed to a slow drip. That may be disheartening. It's a trade-off. It's up to you to decide what makes the most sense.

In all honesty, even when you have your ideal targeting for your prospects, you will still have people that do not stay the course. Oftentimes, people can have a burning desire to succeed but lack all of the skills needed to progress and likewise, people can have the skills but not have the desire to stay the course. In both of those scenarios, you are unfortunately barking up the wrong tree!

The best thing I can tell you to do about getting serious affiliates is to be serious yourself. Set the expectation and give your PSAs a duplicable plan for success. Never sugar coat the truth and always be consistent in your message, marketing, and your support. Let your PSAs know that they need to follow the leader. Success comes before work only in the dictionary. It will take work to be effective, efficient, and to make good money at anything worthwhile. You need to have an operating budget that you can live with to grow your business. Use all of the free advertising you can. Tell them to devote all the time that they can into their business as often as they can. Finally, provide all of the support you can by improving on yourself and your leadership skills.

Well in my opinion what I would do to try and scope my recruitment campaigns so that I can cast my net to attract more serious affiliates would be as follow :

Be open minded and frank to let them know upfront that although SFI is free to Join it is certainly a real legit Global Business and in order to really succeed like in all business to get results you need to not only put in your fair share of time , money and other resources and to TREAT IT as a REal BUSINESS and that it is definitely not a get rich overnight scheme where money comes in without doing anything or very little .

Be UP Front and manage their expectations and once you come across the more potentially serious ones then you work with them closely and support them and grow your T.E.A.M (Together Everyone Achieves More) but at the same time don't neglect the rest for sometimes people are late bloomers and may suddenly one day become very committed and serious after months or even years like the undersigned .

Like a conscientious bodybuilder if you wanna get real results you have to seriously put in the requisite time , money , resources and allow it to grow .

And highlight the fact and real deal about SFI by the numbers and that it is a stable long established credible company and share what others are saying about SFI https://www.sfimg.com/saying.html

Recruiting serious affiliates can be done by creating informed prospects instead of advertising for bulk sign-ups.

You need to develop a business plan that the prospect can put into action in order to see profits in 1-3 years. You need to be honest about the challenges faced and emphasize the training provided so the prospect doesn't join with misconceived notions about the business.

Tell them that SFI is a free to join affiliate marketing program but despite being free to join they will need to purchase things like a good domain name and hosting to start a blog of their own, and will need to plan a budget for advertising if they wish to accelerate the growth of their business, and even though SFI has one of the best training facilities of any Affiliate Program they might choose to supplement the training with more in depth study of niche marketing and retail affiliate program promotions.

Let them know that similar to owning a franchise business there are multiple Advertising Co-Operative programs that will allow them to turn a small budget into a serious advertising campaign, at a fraction of what co-op ads would cost in a franchise.

Let them know that SFI has multiple streams of income and that they can increase their success by recruiting other affiliates to SFI in addition to promoting the products and auctions of TripleClicks.

Give them an overview of how the auctions work and offer them a TripleClicks Gift Card to try out the services before they make a decision to join us as an affiliate. Sometimes gaining that experience with the PriceBenders Auctions and Eager Zebra Games will be your best recruiting tool, like having a franchise tour set up during the application process to buy a franchise business.

Having some first hand knowledge of what to expect will relieve a lot of fears and build a strong foundation for business.
