At the outset keep a continuous thread of conversation ative from your side with your team. That will keep the the interest of your downline in business alive towards business. Then we know :
"People with goals succeed because they know where they're going."
-Earl Nightingale

"You can't hit a target you cannot see and you cannot see a target you do not have." ?
-Zig Ziglar

"The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it."
-Mack R. Douglas

As the above three quotes suggest, goal-setting is VITAL if you want to become successful.Teach the importance of Goal setting and execution to your downline.

Next always convey to them :

“No One Gets A Sudden Rise, Not Even The Sun. It Takes Time To Rise To The Peak Of Success. You Just Have to Keep Your Efforts Going And Positive…!!!”

I also add a bit further:
Some say, "An Apple Once A Day Keeps The Doctor Away..!”
Others say, “Smile Once A Day Keeps The Doctor Away…!!”
But I say, “Login At The SFI Once A Day, Keeps The Doctor Away…!!!”

Then put a straight question to them :
"Well, Let us ask ourselves whether, we are here to pass time or earn a few dollars....!! If you are here to pass time then this mail doesn't pertain to you...!! Good luck have a nice time...!!"

"But Now ;
turning to those who are here only to earn cold cash in terms of "Dollars",
do you feel that we are nowhere close to our desired goals...!!"

Well, almost all home-based entrepreneurs have to face a universal problem of attracting quality prospects, especially those who will buy from within the system….! It is a universal phenomenon. No need to get disillusioned by it. If all your friends agree to what you say then you are a born leader…!!

There are thousands of articles out on the net there purporting to show you exactly how to reach that all-important target group of people who are your best prospects. Many of these ideas are based on mathematical models, others use various psychological theories, while some are based on personal experience of the person advocating the marketing idea. There are so many thoughts about targeting the right prospects, it is mind-boggling.

My simple prescription for creating new leaders in our team, that I want to share with you has been :
(1)BUILD RELATIONSHIPS TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS…!!
(2)But, how to establish such relationships….??? Many of the people who can influence product sales are well-known bloggers..
(3)Spend as much time trying to interest a blogger with a 1 million readership as you would the editor of a publication with a 1 million person subscription base. The blog is many times more powerful than the magazine because the decision to purchase is only a click away.
(4)To find the best blogs available you must dig around. Technorati is a good tool to use.
(5)Well do you feel that all that crap is very theoretical and time consuming..!! Fine then come over to the brass-tacks. Where and how to get the best of the targeted quality a prospects .
(6)The best source will be to advertise on various websites because it is here that the quality prospects in search of the opportunities for work@home are surfing around. It is well said :
TIP: When doing any kind of advertising, it's always good to remember to
“Fish where the fish are biting….!!"
This means that, as a general rule,
place your ads where like-ads exist….!!!
(7)Yes, you can also go in for the membership of List Builder sites and develop a great list for yourself ….!
(8)Well if you want immediate prospects to land in your team who could be guided by you then the TripleClicks is the best place to shop around. The various options available at the TripleClicks are :
a. You should participate in the S-builders Coop that can be purchased for just a paltry sum of $22 and you are assured to get at least 3-4 PSAs in your basket against each share of S-Builder’s Coop…!
b. For details where and how to reach there please click on to: https://www.sfimg.com/PowerTools/SBuilder
c. You can also purchase the same in units of one/two shares easily at the Price Bender’s auction at a relatively cheaper price.
d. I have already tried both the options.

(9)Next is you can purchase the different packs of CSAs at the TripleClicks directly. These packs are also available at the Price Bender’s auction. Always keep in mind to be successful at the Price benders auction never try to outstretch your predetermined budget.

(10)Then we are also able to get the packs of various sizes of PSAs at the TripleClicks. Alternatively you can also purchase them at the Price Bender’s auction. Always go in for the purchase of the size of PSAs that you can handle together. Smaller sizes of 25 are more preferable. But if you have Auto-responders’ then the sizes of 100 /200 will also be quite effective. I have purchased CSAs as well PSAs both ways.

In short the Key to your success at the SFI is to build a strong Team of active Team Leaders, ECAs and PRMs in the shortest possible time. The success of your Team is our success….!!!

Firstly, we have to bear in mind that many Affiliates sign up for SFI assuming that it is a "get-rich-quick" scheme and once he/she signs up and does the minimum necessary, the moola will start rolling in !

* We have to take some pains to disabuse the Affiliates of this impression.
* Then they need to be impressed that online selling is as much a tough job -if not more-as compared to the over-the-counter sales. In many geographical regions, online trading has not yet caught up; people would like to actually see and handle the products and try and haggle for discounts.
* Next, we have to convince them about SFI, that it is the most authentic and professional online trading company there is and most others are just scams.
* Next, we have to detail the distinct advantages of dealing through SFI, both for buyers and sellers.
* Next, narrate the various benefits accruing to Affiliates in the SFI set-up.
* And lastly, convince them that a minimum investment is necessary per month to get ahead in their SFI career.

According to me, this is the most realistic approach to convince our Affiliates to treat SFI like any other real business. Hope this reply helps to clear your thoughts. Good luck & God speed !

The best way to convince your affiliates to invest in SFI is to show the benefit it accrues. If you already are somebody who has run the business over a reasonable period of time then perhaps showing the following will help convince him/her: 1. Credibility - Give a tour of SFI to establish the credibility of the business. 2. Community - show the SFI community - Forum, support, affiliates etc. Show healthy the community is. 3. Platform - To show the enormity of investment done by SFI. It not only establishes credibility but also shows commitment, seriousness in doing business 4. Fair play - Show some examples of fair pay. How auctions are controlled through rules to benefit all -1st win, Junior etc. 5. Duplication - The effect of duplication. Showing some working would help. 6. Triple Clicks - How SFI business is well blended with E-commerce 7. Price benders- Showing the exciting side of penny auctions. Last but not the least how it gives you a sense of ownership and self worth that we as human beings die for. Good luck!

This can be an extremely hard thing to do for some people. Here's how I approach this.

You cannot force anyone in this type of business to do something. They will either have the necessary drive to succeed or they won't. You're more likely to find more individuals who are skeptical than those who are not. This is OK and should be expected.

You're only job is to be there for those who are indeed interested and support them along the way. You do not have to be there for those who do not believe in this type of business. It's simply a waste of your time to try and convince the doubters that this business works. All you can do is be a positive example and support them along the way.

Through your support, they will either believe or quit. For the believers, keep showing them the way. For the quitters, let them go. Focus your energies on those who believe rather than those who don't.

Attitude !!!
That's the key!

If you have the right attitude everyone else will treat you, your SFI business and their SFI business with the same attitude.
Keep in mind that the winning attitude is contagious like a loosing attitude.
If you are talking about SFI with the right attitude, your affiliates will have the same attitude.
This is your business, be proud of your business and of your results, reward your team members results, get them to the spot that they realise the true meaning of SFI.
SFI is here to help you and your affiliates.
There is no question about it!

Be strong and stay strong and the others will follow !

Well this is certainly so true that so many signed up at the Spur of the moment thinking that you can literally make money easily or by just logging in n doing next to nothing n get their small pot of gold I like to add that if it seems so easy to make money at all  without much effort and all than most probably It is a scam so what I would do is to highlight n stress the importance of treating SFI as a Real Business that takes time to build up but unlike the traditional business you don't have to face with the usual overhead costs like manpower payroll, rentals .but instead with a small investment n stay committed to a 1500 VP and EA2 you can work towards building a long term residual n monthly income so I will always keep reminding them n manage their expectations that-if it is to be it is up to me or you to make it for the world of SFI is your pot of gold

See you at the top soon

Interesting question but at the same time challenging in the sense that though some of your affiliate have signed up; they probably have regular jobs and cannot dedicate as much time to their SFI business as they would love to; and that does not necessarily mean that they do not take "SFI business realistically, like a real business". However all that being said and done you could probably do the following :

- share your SFI success stories ( testimonies); this will enable them to see ht there are gains in SFI and they might desire to emulate you; in other words be a role model; model excellence, dedication, commitment, passion etc and it will permeate and rub off on them hopefully. I have a co-sponsor who is so passionate about this business; its so contagious and i cant help but desire to work as hard and be as successful.

- be genuine in the way you communicate with them and consistent; but at the same time not overbearing; if its too much it becomes irritating and looses meaning.

- come up with contests and honor them.reward even average attempts, not just giant leaps. I have personally transferred T-credits to some of my affiliates to reward performance e.g when one had re-qualified to EA.

- Use you leadership page effectively and high-light new developments. Check on those who are inactive once in a while; Just asking if there was anything you could do to help, if they are okay or having a challenge sometimes will get you some response; except where maybe there is a language barrier.

- The bottom line is that: you can use all strategies you can think of and still have the same results because commitment to a business is an individual decision which has to come from within. You may do all that you can and still end up with inactive affiliates. Until they make a personal choice to be committed & they themselves visualize and see long term benefits in the business ; am sorry to say your efforts may still not bare fruit.

All the best, May 2014 be a year with a difference for you and the whole SFI family.

Hello, Ester!

We all like fairy tales, don't we? But life is not like that, is it? Or maybe it is. Remember how, in order to win in fairy tales (get a princess, a kingdom, a prize of any kind), you HAVE TO 'suffer' and work hard to prove yourself. Maybe SFI is our fairy tale, a chance to get the riches we deserve THROUGH our hard work.

If this doesn't help and your affiliates still think SFI is a 'get rich quick', they will soon be disappointed by their paychecks. And then 2 things can happen:

1 - they will 'grow up' and realize this is a business, where finally your success depends on you, unlike maybe at your 9-5 job. (And maybe even THANK God it's not just a scheme, because then they wouldn't get any money)

2 - they will give up. But don't worry if they do. A lot of people who are now realistic, hard working affiliates were not like that when they signed up. Adverts, even SFI adverts, can be misleading (or misinterpreted). But they always say they came back to SFI after having been disappointed in other programs (schemes). And when they come back (to you), they'll understand and stay!

Good luck!

Really, you are asking how to get rid of tire kickers. You can't but the good news is it isn't hard to identify them so you can move on and help those who are serious.

We actually see in SFI the question "Are you serious"?

I actually ask this of my sign up PSAs and CSAs in this way:

"Make sure your contact details are correct so I can phone you and help you through any questions you may have about SFI and TripleClicks. Also, please make sure your contact details are correct as this will help you get paid your commissions. let me know you have had this welcome letter and give me a best time of day to phone you."

I can almost guarantee that if the person hitting the keys to sign up is serious these will be put right soon so you can establish two way communication. Once you have that then it is only a matter of time before you both achieve the success you want.

To our success!

It looks like whole world is after QUICK MONEY!! Scheme after Scheme. Time and again. They loose it. Still -most of the people are after "rich quick schemes" only.

Naturally, they join us on SFI and wonder. So many dropouts are the example for this. But I tell my team ,what SFI officially says, SFI is a business which pays. Pays handsomely- to those who have patience and interested in working and building their own teams. Mail after mail , call after call i tell them about the company and business and ask them to work as per the plan. Regularly. Spend some time for knowledge- SFI site has lots of that. Get it and pass on to the next Gen in the line. So that whole team and all of us(in SFI) benefit. We ,me and other leaders in my team , have dropouts and not doing the business. However , last 2 months of hard work left us with people who realised the strength of the business and company.
