How can we get across to our affiliates that investing minor (at least) amounts of money into SFI is smart?

I believe we can tell them that they need to invest all we want, but we have to show them in order to prove that they will benefit greatly by investing. Look at the power rankings any time. How did those people get there? Not by sitting around and hoping.

They invested money and time. Now they probably had more to invest than others. We are all limited to an extent. But this isn't a reason to become discouraged, it's a new level to reach for. It's a new challenge to compete in and if we

Hello Irena. Most contributors come because they attract the possibility of earning no initial investment, but also if explain to them that the purchase W3 start package which is only $ 1.95 (that's the price one coffee) brings them every month TC 5 and 50 MRP (it's 60TC + 600 MRP in a year) with which they can go to the auction or to bid only for the MRP (with a recommendation to do so in double auctions) that can purchase additional TC and earn sales VP (1TC = 126MRP = 102VP) will not be considered

You may send a couple of free TCredits to your chosen, active downlines, as a stimulating reward for their efforts. Once they accumulate their TCredits from T-Time, Daily Grand, you, etc., they will start thinking about the best way to use them.

You can also set up a special offer for your downlines on your Leadership Page, e.g. to share the costs of one S-Builder co-op with five of them who are the first to apply. That would cost only $4 per person and I'm sure more than five would apply.

We help them learn by teaching them. Most people learn by example. If we actively communicate with them they can watch how smart we invest into SFI to help us grow, they will in turn do the same, if they are also smart...

The most important thing is to stay connected to other affiliates so you are not only communicating within SFI, however through other ways, as well. Not everyone gets their news at SFI, or sees your actions while you are here, and they may not be online the same time

Hi,
It is hard to get people to part with money especialy as they probably entered SFI to make money.
I think if you can help them understand this is not a job but a business and we need to invest in it so we can make profit.
The first thing I bought was the 125 TCredits in my first active month this made me a BTL which also gave me some extra CSAs the value of which is almost double that of the 125 TCredits pack. I also had lots of fun at the auctions though I didn't win.
So

Hi Irena, this is a great question. We must encourage our affiliates and remind them that while SFI is FREE, we need to invest money in order to generate money. If you want to reap tomatoes , you plant tomatoes and if you want to reap potatoes, you plant potatoes.

SFI management has spend millions and millions of dollars to present us with this wonderful business opportunity. I think it will be proper for every one of us to be prepared to sacrifice our resources to built our earnings to

I advise my affiliates to do what I do - get the T Credits packs and use them to buy S Builder credits. Get your 1500 VP to make EA.

Put it to them in a very direct way - I bought S Builder and that's how I signed you up, you do the same and you'll build your downline. Buying the credits made you EA, now use them to make yourself BTL.

It's all about Duplication, get them to invest money just as you did to grow their business just as you did.

Your concern here is how will you let your affiliates appreciate that investing some amount of money in SFI is a smart way of gradually growing and establishing their streams of imcome.

Well, we know that majority of those who are engaging to this type of growing of source of income are those who are also working in a 40hrs a week routine source of income, and most of them are thinking to get out of such routine type of office work then go fulltime here. Now if they want fastrack such

You can just ask them if they know of any business that has succeeded without investing even a penny.

In the case of not having money to invest in business: let them know of other ways to earn like recruiting as many PSAs as possible

Referring PRMs and recruiting ECAs.

Have money but don't want to invest: ask them to do an online search about any company that has made it without investing.

Break it down to them the advantages of investing.

Remember

There is a saying,
"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care for them."

Investing is a crucial factor in Business especially in newbies.
You must first be the product of the product before you can encourage afilliates or your downlines to invest in minor accounts.

Sharing the benefit of investing in SFI will open their hearts and minds to the endless possibilities of unlimited earnings. They must buy emotionally and defend the
