Hi David!

Do not worry if you get rejected by presenting the system SFi, many people may be skeptical at the beginning because it is a job that has a whole new system and the people before you make full account of the benefits it can bring this work need a some time.

You have to continue to disclose and so you will find someone who wants to try it and maybe, those who have rejected your disclosure, after seeing your achievements and those of others, will change and finally

I look at it as "every no is that much closer to a yes." I learned it from a book about selling written by the great Tom Hopkins.
Don't look at a "no" as a rejection. They more than likely are not rejecting you. They just need more information. They may need to be approached several times. But don't be a nuisance. Some people just are not cut out to own their own business.
If that is the case then move on. There are plenty of people that will appreciate your talking

I believe that curiosity is the key. People will go to your website just to take a peek if you tell them very little information.

I always bring up my business when my friends or family are complaining about traffic, their boss, or coworkers. I state one simple statement, "If you went to my website, you would only be complaining about how you are going to spend all your money."

Then I usually either give my card or I write my SFI web address down and leave it alone.

Remember that the rejection is of SFI not of yourself.

If you bought your dream car, a 2 seater sports car, there would be some that would look at you & ask if you are nuts! Why didn't you buy the minivan? You would not take offense at that would you? It just means they are at a different point in their lives.

SFI is YOUR dream future, if they don't see the possibilities, they would end up quitting. Much better if they reject your proposal now, than waste your valuable time

Some things are not for everybody. Even SFI, with all its great opportunities, is not for everybody. (But people change, they might soon become somebody who welcomes SFI, who knows?!)

My reaction to rejection? I know the options are 'get bitter' or 'get better'. I must admit that I occasionally get bitter, but I try not to. The idea is not to take it personally (they like me, but might not like or understand SFI), so I aim to improve my presentations.

Can you stop being rejected?

True it can be disheartening when you "always" get NO for an answer. Believe me I have got my own fair share of 'nos'. But then you would note you get the nos when you are concentrating on warm marketing.

Have you tried other ways of recruiting affiliates? How about setting up an advertising co-op like the S Builders for example. That way you would not have to get a NO for an answer and you would concentrate more on how to build your team.

It is a numbers game to recruit to SFI, just like sales, and a big part of sales is unfortunately rejection. Its unavoidable! How YOU react to rejection vastly affects your chances of success. You have to brush it off, people arent rejecting YOU, theyre rejecting SFI!

Quite simply you have to keep pushing on and accept that SFI wont be right for everybody, thats just life. Dont let it affect you personally!

nothing comes without pain . first of all you have to build up your will power and you have to realize that it was not your mistake for the rejection as there are many scams prevailing in online. so choose the member wisely first go on with your inner circle then try to ellaborate it . At first more than 95% of them will not consider it until you show them how successful you are in sfi and also you must possess confident in presenting the sfi opportunity and you must also motivate them by showing

It is true because most people has awareness of fake online business. They think that SFI also one of them.

So, you have to handle an opposite way of what you are now doing.

You can show demand to people that you are busy with SFI .
Don't even call to join with you.
but, tell about your trust with SFI, your goals, other people's success, easy earning streams act. Even you are in your first month.
I think people will attract by this way and will come to ask "how

Success with SFI and for that matter any MLM or network marketing home business just needs a "few good men" for success. If you share SFI with a hundred people and 95 of them utterly reject SFI those five persons who do join SFI under will can be the ground of a profitable home business. Every rejection brings you closer to the "Big Hitter" that is going to skyrocket your online business. Just look at rejection like "shifting through the dirt" to find the gold nuggets
