I believe the best approach to do that would be the one where they ask you questions out of curiosity instead of you trying to convince them to join.

There are many ways to create situations like this:

- if you are active with PriceBenders Auctions you can show some great items you have won there. For example, I have won Monster Speaker, very neat little device. When we travel we always take it with us, many friends and family members were very impressed with it, so I have told them I got it at the penny auction for just under $2. Then everyone wants to know more. You can give some details and present them with $12 gift card.

- your family and friends can notice you speaking to local businesses about them joining ranks of ECA partners. They would what to know what this is all about. Then you can explain that you are in business, that you are looking to connect business owners with the company you work for.

- and of course, friends and family can see you checking your SFI website, answering e-mails or login in to participate in T-Time and PTP several times a day, so this would probably raise a few questions as well. Give them brief explanation and say that you can send them the link later to check it out.

In any case, be confident and don't try to push it on them. Rather make them ask all the questions.

Family and friends are the first one to know about your every truth of life. Telling them is the easiest than any others I face

1. Share your everyday excitement in SFI with them. Tell them what you benefited from SFI everyday

2. Do not forget to share your Pricebender winning items with them. Let them know you got a Android phone for less than $5 and they will be just excited to join you.

3. Always share the commission when it comes to financial discussions. I do it and find it really helpful.

4. Let them know when you make a sell of your old items through ECA.

5. When discussing about shopping, always talk about the hot deals in TripleClicks.

I feel these are the great ways to introduce your family and friends to SFI.

I have been approaching my family and friends for years about different products and services. So I have created a standard that I use, that hopefully won't offend my friends or family.

1. First, I put information on Facebook. I let people know that I am participating in SFI. I ask if anyone has participated in the program and for everyone's opinion. I find most of my family and friends have opinions they like to share.

2. Then I find a product that I think many of my friends would like on TripleClicks and post the "fabulous" price - still on Facebook.

3. Next, I send out an email to my groups. Just one, to ask if anyone has heard of SFI or TripleClicks. I don't send this to strangers. I only send it to family and my affiliate groups that have agreed to emails.

4. By now, most of my family and friends know in which system I am currently participating. So, I ask my hubby to cook a nice barbecue. I make sure that I have various SFI and TripleClicks information around. If they ask about it, I talk about the business. If they don't ask by coffee time, I usually announce what I am doing and expand on what I like about my new job. I make sure to have plenty of cards, or paper flyers on hand to give to anyone that wants information.

5. Over the next few days to a week, I call my friends and family that could not come to the barbeque, and I call the ones that took information home.

6. During this process, I ask if any one wants to post some of their stuff on TripleClicks to sell, and I give them a tcredit. (I will complete this next week I hope)

7. Another way to approach listing on TripleClicks is to offer to list their items for them for a small fee after the item has sold. I would rather they join, but I am not adverse to listing their items. Sometimes that gives them more insite to TripleClicks.

8. I will repeat these steps about every 3 months or so, except to my friends and family that do not want any information.

9. For all of the naysayers I will purchase gifts from TripleClicks for their birthday or a holiday. If they like it, they may join to purchase the gift for themselves.

10. It is ok if they tell you no. I would start listing with craigslist, facebook, twitter, or any other site that you can present information to the most people.

Your initial approach will depends on your rapport and closeness of your relationship with your family and friends. Added to that, is their attitude towards earning online.

In fact if they have been involve in certain online transactions before, they are your potential affiliates that can jump-start your SFI business early.

But most of the time they are the most difficult to convince about online program like SFI. Let me share the approaches I used to introduce SFI to my family and friends.

1. I always post something about my journey with SFI. I use "SHARE IT" found in my affiliate center. And I add more. Many of them have already asked what I was talking about.

2. I put this signature in my email that everyone who read my email will see.
"I am building my online business with SFI in preparation for retirement. Join me if you wish, free."

The word "SFI" and "Join" are link to my gateway. Some of my friends have already joined SFI from that link.

3. I show them what I won from PriceBender. This is really an attention getter. many of them are asking how did I won my router and movies and I have the opportunity to explain SFI.

4. I give them Gift cards and immediately discussion will start at the moment that I handed it to them.

In preparation I acquainted myself well with all information about SFI because their initial questions usually come from different parts of SFI program.

This is always a sticky situation so the best piece of advice i can give from my experience is to literally sit them down in front of the computer and show them what SFI and Tripleclicks is all about.

Here is what i do/show them:-

1. I emphasize its FREE to join and that you don't need to pay anything to be successful. If you do spend money you will be successful a lot quicker but its not necessary.

2. I then show them all the training resources SFI has to offer and I emphasize that the system works and it as well as other affiliates are here to help them be successful.

3. I then take them to Tripleclicks and show them some great things that are offered and things they can potentially buy for less money that they currently buy in stores.

4. Finally, I show them my commissions, and tell them for the x amount of hours i put in each week, this is what i earn.

I personally don't think sales pitches work, but proof and visuals work.

Good luck

In my opinion, the best way to approach family and friends about SFI is by not cramming them into. Your approach should be natural. I can show this, by having a good mood every time I am with them. Because SFI and TripleClicks are intertwined, I can show them some of the products I have purchased. One example is the Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition. I have been taking this product as my nutrition supplement for several months now and one of my friends noticed the difference in my health. I don’t feel tired even though I work 10 hours a day plus 2-3 hours for SFI each day. So he asked me, if I have a special recipe or diet and I just told him about Veriuni. Now he is my regular customer. Fortunately, as I spend time with one of my close friends, we we’re talking about plan for retirement, if we would have enough money when we retire. I asked him if he has a definite plan to supplement his income, when he retires or if he would like to supplement his income now. He asked me how and that’s how I presented SFI. Now he is one of my fast movers, he’s very enthusiastic.

Recently, I approached my sister, because I found out that she was looking also for business opportunity. I told her about SFI and she is very much interested to find out more. I told to just sign up for free, so she could find out for herself.
I just don’t believe in forcing someone into something, because it doesn’t do good.

I’m going to answer this from experience.

The best way to approach your family and friends about SFI is:

1. Let them see that you are dedicated to SFI (Let them notice you login in everyday)
2. Talk freely about SFI and the opportunities they are likely to gain from participating
3. You could also let them know how easy it is to become EA
4. Let them know the benefits and commission derivable from sales
5. When you buy from TripleClicks or win an auction, let them see how cheap it is
6. Do all these but don’t even invite them to join

They will ask to join on their own, it has worked for me,
I hope this works for you too.
Thanks

There’s a lot of talk about warm market in the network marketing world. If you’re not familiar with the term, it means people who you know personally, such as family and friends. It also includes people who are part of your wider social circle, such as your children’s friends’ parents, people who go to the same clubs as you, your doctor, dentist, etc. The list is quite long.

The core of your warm market is people you know well. This means your close friends and family. Most network marketing companies recommend your warm market as the first people you should talk to about your new business.

I have one big problem with this. My family and friends have heard me say, “This is it! This is the one!” so many times that they really are sick of hearing it. They might have listened in the past, but they certainly don’t listen any more!

The other issue when talking to your warm market is that many people are skeptical of network marketing. They tend to immediately think, “pyramid selling scam,” and try to discourage you. Not only do they not join you, but – worse – they tell you that you should give up on your new business as well. That’s disheartening enough when you hear it from strangers, but far worse when it comes from people you love.

So, unless you have a very thick skin, I don’t recommend telling your friends and family about SFI. At least, not right away. Once you can show them you are earning money, they will probably become a lot more interested!

What you can tell them about, however, is TripleClicks.

TripleClicks is a very safe way of introducing SFI. It’s just an online store. Many, many people buy from Amazon and eBay, so when you tell them about a new online store you’ve found, that will seem perfectly normal and natural.

Even better, tell them about the penny auctions, and the bargains people are getting through them.

Better still, win an auction yourself, show your new purchase off, and tell people how little you paid for it!

Family and friends to invest in a business can be a complex situation to navigate, requiring both personal trust and professional approach.If things go wrong, you may lose your relationship with the people who are most important to you. Here are some steps for getting it right.

1) Establish a sound SFI business plan: This must show how the effort and money will be used and how you expect the business to perform. You need to treat your family and friends with as much respect as you would given other affiliates and downline,after all they are taking a risk and showing that they believe in you.

2) Set clear payment terms: Be clear about spending and profit sharing plans. For example you can reduce the price of S-Builder co-op by splitting the cost of a co-op unit.

3) Specify that SFI is not an overnight success: May be your friends and family members will agree to assume the risk of losing their investment. Spelling out the terms in advance will help to avoid recriminations later.

4) Keep the lines of communications open: If you give constantly posts about SFI, TripleClick and Share-IT in Facebook, Twitter etc.. definitely your family and friends will curious about it. Thats the right time for approaching them.

5) Be helpful: You can provide Gift Certificates to your family and friends to make purchases from TripleClicks in order to attract and convince.
Sourcing money from Friends and Family can be a great way to get your business off the ground or to help it reach new levels of success. With careful planning, it can be a win win deal for everybody.
Thank you.

A SIMPLE plan …

I’m busy saving up TCredits at the moment. When I have 3 or 4 hundred saved, I’m going to try and win something a bit special. A Kindle Fire, maybe, or even an iPad, or a Samsung Chromebook. When I have it in my hand, I’m going to take it everywhere with me, show it to everyone I know, and tell them what I paid for it. When they ask me where I got it from, I’ll have a TripleClicks card ready to give them.

That’s my strategy for promoting to my warm market. I’ll save SFI for later, when I think the time is right. But, right now, I’m going to tell them about TripleClicks.
