When you're not meeting with someone face-to-face, their first impression of you will be the photo you choose to post on your profile. As the saying goes; first impressions go a long ways. However, if you personally sponsored an affiliate, then seeing your friendly face again when they log into SFI, will make them feel a bit more welcome. As with any business, you want to appear in a professional manner but that's not to say you've got to wear business attire in your photo. Make sure that the

Your photo is essential and must be a good one, a memorable one and a professional one. Why? Because you are branding yourself.

When you place a stream message or your Team Mailings or a forum post, all these are accompanied by your photo. YOUR AFFILIATE, a2a friend or other SFI people responds to your post, good or bad. When a person receives valued content from you consistently over time, then you begin to Brand yourself to that person, they begin to respond to you. I have Affiliates

SFI is a real business. Your business! When I look at your photo I would expect to see a professional look. That would give me the first impression of you and what you stand for. It tells me whether you are a serious business person or not.

Imagine going for a job interview, and then think of your attire. That is what your photo does for you at SFI. Remember that first impressions are lasting. Your role is to conduct your business in the best way possible and to connect with prospective

I think everyone has answered the first part the same way, you need a good picture so your affiliates and customers have a human face to work with. What makes a good photo? Well, your photo is excellent. Your face can be seen clearly, you look pleasant and attentive. I can almost hear you asking, "How may I help you?" I was a little surprised to see a black and white photo, but it is very sharp and clear and I think it was a good choice. There are some photos that are so out of focus they

Some people prefer not to add photos to their profiles for various reasons but the truth is profiles without photos are far less effective than those that include one. That faceless SFI profile makes it much more unlikely your PSA will click to read more. By adding your photo your new PSAs can be greeted by both your name and your friendly face. Your PSAs sees you as a real person and not some fake object. Having a profile without a photo also makes it less likely that people will accept your A2A

Why the Importance of an Account Photo?

You are doing an online business therefore you need to personalize it by adding your photo. This will enable the people you are sponsoring and doing business with to know you are a real person and also make them have some level of confidence and trust in you.

A good photo?
A good photo should be a image of yourself and not a family member, friend or pets.
It should be good looking and clear enough for your PSAs to see and should

A good SFI profile photo is very important towards many ways for your business. A good photo means a clear and a professional image of you showing your personality.

1. It creates a physical presence of you in front of your Team members.

2. Generates trust among your team members that you are a real person not a robot.

3. Also it makes the new affiliate believe that he has joined a real business not a scam.

If you are still looking for more importance of

A good photo is like a logo. It's better than a logo actually because it shows people that you're not afraid to show others who you are, a real person. In my opinion a good photo, like a logo, takes time and professionalism to produce. Of course, any photo is better than none at all.

Things to avoid:

- anything in the background like a car, motorcycle, or a messy house.
- another person other than your spouse
- children and pets
- having your head go outside the

A good impression goes a long way in selling your work. Small wonder then that even male celebrities have elaborate make-up teams to maintain their image. Similarly, When I click on your name to know about the person making me that delightful offer, I:

1. Expect a Photograph, not a "not yet posted" message
2. I would expect a trustworthy face (don't ask me how your heart does it, but most of the time, it does - ) a good photograph immediately secures a personal bond that

If you walked into JC Penny and the sales person came up wearing a clown mask, dressed as a kitten, or thugged out in a ski mask would you walk out of the store or buy everything in it?

People connect with people to establish trust.

When you have a photo of someone other than you on your profile, some funny picture, a logo, or no photo at all there is nobody available for people to trust. There is no face to put with the name and it basically kills 99% of your business.
