You will need to sponsor people from all over the world, not just your country. Some countries are more Network Marketing Friendly than others. Some regions of the world have pockets of enthusiastic people awaiting a global opportunity like SFI.

If you limit yourself to one country, then you are limiting the number of affiliates you can sponsor. Don’t place limits on yourself. Sponsor people of all ethnic groups and treat them as though they are from your native

SFI is an International worldwide program.

Therefore, prospecting affiliate from any parts of the world is the main objective here in SFI.

There is lots of new things to share as we explore each culture and building communications..

Having locals as our team affiliates is a great strategy, communications normally blends well among the locals.. and any product sells well within their niche.

So, my overall opinion is,
Yes.., prospect affiliates

My anwer to your question is promote and sign up affiliates both in your country and other countries of the world.

Note: consider countries with Languages you can both speak and write. This is an important factor as you have to be communicating with members of your team from time to time.

Never put your eggs in 1 basket, meaning do not recruit only people from your country alone.

Getting active and productive affiliates from other countries can help you duplicate

If you are serious about your business you should be recruiting people from everywhere.

One of the big things I will be looking at is the different monetary exchange rates which, if done correctly, can give a person in a country with a bad exchange rate a major advantage in that he needs to promote the items in his country to his downstream affiliates in the country on the good side exchange rate for them to get good bargains.

An example of this is the South African Rand which

I would suggest you do both.

Prospecting affiliates from your own country would be great for a couple of reasons:
1- The language barrier won't be there.
2- If you have team members that live in the same area as you, you could set up meetings to discuss strategy.

Prospecting for new team members from everywhere will help build your team even further. If there is a bit of a language barrier, simply use the Google Translate tool.

Lastly, I wouldn't hold

Thanks for this question.

Some of the advantages of having affiliates only from your own country are:

1. Communication can be in native language. You can explain things about SFI Business which can
be easily understood.

2. Phone contacts can be quiet economical.

3. Conducting explanatory meetings for a small group will be easy.

4. Personal visits for guidance can be possible.

5. One to one rapport can be easily established

Hello, thanks for asking the question.

I would say limiting you area of acquiring SFI affiliates would mean limiting your own personal income. Remember SFI is an international business and has no ban on any country.

Meanwhile, if you are considering any barrier at all, it must have been a personal barrier such as lack of fund, lack of good website or blog or marketing skills, as SFI has put in place so many activities to over come such barriers.

Such as,

I would strongly recommend that you first start prospecting within your own country/region before you go outside. There are many advantages for doing so.

1. There is better communication-you will be able to project your views about SFI in a much faster way, simply and more efficiently as you have the advantage of explaining in a common language;

2. It is easier to meet face to face to alleviate any doubts about whether this is a genuine enterprise or not. Many affiliates

Team building is the key to your growth and success of your business. It helps you set the duplication process which in turn expands the possibility of your earning potential.

Your team consists of PSAs, CSAs and PRMs.

CSAs are assigned by SFI to you or else you can win them at auctions. Here you would have no control over their origin. You can only put them for exchange at a later stage to change to CSA from your country.

For recruitment of PSAs and PRMs you have

People to be come affiliates From my own country or from everywhere?
Should you?
You only need 5 permanent Psa's! Whether you choose 5 or more is totally up to you.
should you recruit people from only your country?

That can be a great thing, because their right in your own country & you can make far better & more contact with them.
You can arrange to meet with them. You can have get together at your home or choice of venue.
Once that is established
