Recruiting your family members may work well for some and not so well for others. The reason being is that family members that are alright tight may work well together because they have similar interests and all parties realize what is at stake. They come together and appropriate certain aspects of the business to make it work for the team. One can work on the advertising while another works on the support and coaching. They can become a dynamic duo capitalizing on each others strengths and

I don`t see why not.
You should recruit EVERYBODY into SFI.
It`s normal to start with the people that are close to you (family, friends, co-workers), but you will have to be careful, some of them might be very negative about it, you`ll have to manage not to let them destroy the confidence you have in your business. It`s easier when we are trying to recruit a stranger, we don`t really care if they say no, if they are trying to trash our confidence, lower our morale. When it comes to family

This is a very easy answer, YES!!! SFI is growing very fast. If you do not tell your family members about SFI, someone else will. While you are trying to deside whether this is a good idea or not, I just posted advertisements in hopes of making your family members my PSA's. Even if I dont reach your family members, they will hear about it from one of their co workers or friends. To avoid your family member becoming someone elses PSA, tell them about the SFI oppertunity NOW! Tell all of your friends

In my experience recruiting family members does not work unless they have previous experience of MLM. However, once they see that you are becoming successful people tend to take notice and become more interested, so leave them for later when your business is better established.

It is very difficult to explain to people, especially if they do not have much money, that you have to invest in any business to start with. SFI is very inexpensive compared to a franchise ect, and you will get

There are two scenarios :
1). For some reason you are unsuccessful you will be pulled and trashed, saying we told you so. All net working businesses are scam. You have swindled our money. We trusted you Most in family and close relatives would be lost if they do not become successful. They will blame their own failure upon you.

2). If you successful you will find your family and relatives hovering over you as a honey comb. Not only that you will find so called lost relatives showering

I have talked about SFI with some of my Family members ,and the response was very negative.Most of them are very wary of making money online,they don't believe it's possible.Some believe it will be my downfall!

So i will wait until i become really successfull and show them proof that it works!Then i will tell them they can do it too.

So my advice would be; try it,see what the reaction is,if they are positive hooray let them join.If it is negative,wait till you have good results

I think it's a great idea,but only if you can:
1.Handle if they say no to you
2.If they don't really work after a while be prepared to let them go
3.If you don't have a problem to live with the same person you are working with.That includes non-stop questions,even in the middle of the night and over morning coffee
4.Be prepared to listen to their complaints and preaching if something goes wrong
Good luck

Yes, definitely we can recruit our family members in to SFI in only two conditions as mentioned below.

Condition First:
If we are already successful financially in our life’s before joining SFI. A golden rule of sales industry is that people (including family members) never purchase from salesperson, they only purchase salesperson. No matter how the product is qualitative. Same implies in SFI.

Condition Second:
Develop leadership

In my opinion, it's a good idea!
1. Your family members are like every other affiliates, the only difference is the family relationship.
2. They could either succeed in the business or not.
3. Your obligation as a sponsor is to convince them and teach them to do what you do to succeed.
4. Also, you should tell them the truth, let them see it just as it is.
But each member must maintain a seperate account.

Don't be discouraged, go ahead, it's a great idea.

I think, it is very good idea to recruit family members to this SFI business for the following reasons:

1) Within the family, you can discuss the problems and solve so many issues without wasting time for this purpose in SFI log in time.
2) You can purchase Tcredits (who joined earliest in family) for Standing Order which subsequently can transfer to your family Member PSAs to purchase from Tripleclick to gain VP as per their needs. So with a fixed amount of expenditure from the family,
