It depends on the exact question they're asking.

If they ask me what I do for a living, I start out by telling them I'm self-employed and work in the online marketing industry. If they want to know more, I then explain that I'm an independent representative for an e-commerce company, and briefly mention the range of products at TripleClicks and Price Benders auctions. If they are still interested, I start to go into more depth about the SFI business and how it works. I never try to encourage them to join. If they are interested enough, they will move on the the next questions: "How did you get into it? Could I do it too?" The best prospects are the ones who have sold the business to themselves!

If someone is looking over my shoulder while I'm on TripleClicks or in the SFI back office, and asks me what I'm doing, I generally say something like, "Making money," or, "Trying to get this iPad really cheap." If they're interested, it leads to the same kind of conversation as I might have with someone who asks me what I do for a living.

If someone starts to show an interest in SFI, I don't believe there's any point in trying to "sell" them the opportunity. They're already starting to sell it to themselves. All you have to do is provide information in a positive manner and let them make their own decision.

I have learned through personal experience, the most important thing when someone asks about SFI is to figure out WHY they are inquiring.

One person may just be curious. They may have seen you on the website or your Payoneer Card. Another individual may be interest in a second income. However, who knows, The first person might be the one who signs up, while the second decides SFI isn't for them. So, asking the inquirer questions, LISTENING to their responses, and responding appropriately are VERY important!

Above all: Be personal!

I learned: Do not just cite off facts about SFI, especially at the beginning. It typically turns people off from listening to further information. I learned from friends; people interpret this approach as someone who memorized company information for the sole purpose to hook other people into their "scam" program and the person does not really know their company. Two friends told me they run away "when a marketer begins spouting facts or numbers and can't answer my questions. This tells me they don't know the true nature of their company, but only facts given to them to regurgitate." However, citing some facts while speaking with someone asking about SFI can be helpful, just don't sound like you are reading a fact report to them and be prepared to answer further questions.

I have found it is helpful to have a knowledge base of our company (SFI), so going through the basic training, Launchpad, the Forum, reviewing Ask SC and continuing to stay up dated on company policies can help us to answer any questions about SFI on the spot. It is helpful to have this knowledge to pull from during conversations; still I let the inquirer lead with their questions and interest.

I do not have a set memorized answer about SFI, since SFI has several options on ways to earn an income. It depends on which avenue each affiliate chooses to pursue: Do you concentrate on building your team or signing up ECA? Do you focus on advertising and selling TripleClicks products or promoting PriceBender Auctions? It is the same with each inquirer. Each one has their own interest. Different aspect of SFI will appeal to each individual. This is why I recommend: Be Personal!

With enthusiasm! When you are positive about what you do people will realize you have something of value. Treat it like the best business in the world with anyone you meet or asks you about it. Because it is the best business in the world. SFI is number one in the world!

Make sure you know your stuff so with any question they bring you will have the answer. This is why it's important to log in to SFI every day and read. Get to know this business from the inside out.

Your enthusiasm will affect people in a good way and cause them to want to get involved. Even if they are leary. I've been able to cause skeptical people at least interested because of my excitement about this business. Remember, people judge many things by sight and the way they see you respond to any question about SFI creates a picture in their mind. So make it the best picture you can.

First you need to determine if someone is merely curious about what you do or if this is a conversation about owning a business.

"SFI is a marketing group which entrepreneurs join to build an online business. I am a team leader, mentor and business owner."

If the asker is merely curious, that answer will suffice, but it MAY spark a thought that they could do it as well. Be ready share your gateway and get their contact information if their curiosity is aroused.

If this a discussion about business ownership, you are sure to get more questions. A lot of people have an entrepreurial streak, but may not have considered an online business as viable. You might mention that "like a franchise, SFI is a turnkey system which provides a training system, marketing aids and websites to act as storefronts for your business." "UNLIKE a franchise, you can start SFI free. If you have no budget to build a business with you can grow this business albeit slowly. With a modest income available, you can steadily grow it in a few months."

If they become become dismissive, argumentative or challenging about SFI, just say "hey, this is not for everybody". Then change the subject. I'd venture to say 90% of the time, that person will continue to think about what you told them and will eventually ask you about it again at another time.

This one of the simplest but the toughest question ever asked in such a polite way & that too in one line. Thanks for that Sue.

Now, anyone who asks you -

1. Tell them SFI stands for STRONG FUTURE INTERNATIONAL.

2. The founder of SFI is Sir Gery Carson. He was a top marketer from 1985 to 1998.

3. Gery has been named as Outstanding Young Men of America in 1992. In 1998, Gery started SFI.

4. This month(august) 67750 new affiliates from all over the world joined SFI till date, it is one of the fastest growing companies of its kind in the world.

5. There are two parts of SFI -
a. SFI programs- in which you have to log in daily & perform daily actions like just click on red tabs and collect the versa points for each tab because these versa points will act as a basement for commission calculation and thus determines your status(EA, EA2, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum Team Leader). It is the basement of all activities like training, tracking, reporting, managing, commissions etc.

b. TRIPLECLICK store as named, started in 2009, but it is actually e-commerce store. And what is e-commerce & it impact in today's world is well known to all.

6. Right from registration-to-training all is provided for free. SFI manages whole thing and what you have to do is log-in daily read the sfi news, forums, collect versa points daily. Thats all is enough.

7. Tripleclick(TC) sells products both in physical as well as digital form. It has daily 30 auctions in which you can bid and win the products at such a low price. You can observe live demonstration either with me or through a link.

8. There are many ways to win free Tcredits like Pick-the-price, Wave3, Hourly drawings, Daily Grand, or you can even purchase it.

9. Well we all have some no more useful stuffs at our home(like Childrens Toys, Ebooks/Books, things from garage) or want to sell some collectables through a vast medium like (antiques coins, jewellery etc.) with TC we can sell it online either locally or internationally providing the shipping facilities.

10. As your introducer i will give you free Tcredits for starting your business online with which you can list your very first item.

11. You are also awarded with 2 affiliates every month only if you attain the rank of EA(Executive Affiliate) every month with you being their Co-sponsor. Being their Co-sponsor(CSA) you are entitled to 15% CV on all the purchases/sales they make during the month. Yeah being a co-sponsor you need to keep them motivated too. You can give them free tcredits like i gave you, when i introduced you.

12. There is upto 12 generations down for which you can earn CV on their purchase/sale. Even if you are on vacation you are still earning. Isn't it great?

13. Being a sponsor you can earn matching versa points which your affiliates(whom you are sponsoring) earn. Thus doubling your commissions.

14. Lastly i would like to tell you that just for one month give it a try without any cost and devote just 30 minutes(floating) daily. For any information or help you needed i'm always available.

Note- If after a month you want to opt out of this program anytime, yes you can, and that too just in minutes, but it automatically stops you from receiving any emails regarding SFI.
But please don't think that i will be earning commissions lifetime, just for bringing you for one month, when you choose to opt out i'm also stopped for further commissions as your introducer.

Its a team earning, that is when you succeed i succeed & thus my team, similarly you succeed when you teammate succeeds.
Example-
A is succeeded because of B
B is succeeded because of C & so on.. So its Definately a WIN-WIN.

but you can become very successful when you introduce some good & hard working individuals or you can act upon behalf of some companies who wish to sell their products online.

Hello

First at all, when someone ask me about anything, my answer is my pesonal opinion. SFI is not exception.

What is SFI?

SFI is abbreviation of company named Strong Future International. I work there as an Affiliate, and I am quite satisfied with the way they work and the way they treat their Affiliates. (with this second part of sentence you stop question from other side which can look like "Are you satisfied?" or "Do you realy earn something there?" )
And by satisfied, I mean-I sing up for FREE, they are kind, they have so much ways to help people in their job, they have Forum, a2a friendship, great prizes on hourly, daily and weekly level.
What else? Well, I can work there about hour a day, or hole day long and that is so cool, couse I have enough time every day to spend it with my family and friends. I don't have boss, but I do have sponsor who helps me a lot and who giuded me at the start when I needed help most.
SFI also have great products, and awesome auctions, so I can also save my money if I want to buy at TripleClicks. (on this way, if somebody asked just for curiosity, you can also take your time to say that he can also be a buyer, but not Affiliate, and reffer that person to TC site)
After all, you can always say that here you earn your money, and of course-this is thing of choice, and not something that somebody forsed you to do :) and that you or anyone else can opt-out if they realy want to, without any problems or consequences.

P.S. If that person doesn't know what is internet marketing, I realy recomend you to first explain that, and than this, so that person don't find him/herself confused.

I hope my answer was helpfull, I wish nice day to all of you.

Hi,

If someone ask you that means they are either curious or interested in making money online. Otherwise, they don't bother to ask.

The best is to just provide an overview of what SFI can offer as not to confuse the prospects but to get them to think and take action.

Normally, when someone ask me, I would say SFI provides complete business model for them to succeed in their online business:

1. Not a get rich quick scheme but home business opportunity

2. No capital - FREE signup

3. FREE Training and support, websites and products all provided

4. Time Saving - FREE to choose how and when they want to work

5. FREE to choose the marketing tools provided by SFI to earn income

6. FREE to choose the mode of payment they want to receive the commission

7. Chance to win FREE stuff

You are free to explain about SFI in your own unique way. However, the most important thing is that you yourself must believe and feel excited about SFI. Only then you can attract other people attention.
