Why should I invest in SFI?

Let me ask you – Why do we invest in anything at all? What do you consider “investing;” is it time or is it fiances or both? 

I know your question is aimed at SFI but do you understand that everything that we do at home, in our family, our work place (if still employed) is considered some kind of investment. 

Why invest in SFI? Am I going to tell you to invest in SFI because it is the best program on the net today? No! That is called hype. 

I can go on and on like this but I know you would want me to get to the point. And I see it this way: 

You need to decide for yourself if you can see a reason to invest your time or money in SFI and TripleClicks. 

Before you make an investment of any kind – time or otherwise – you need to gather the facts for yourself and weigh them against your dreams and desires you have for your future and if you can see that it is obtainable through SFI and TripleClicks then what are you waiting for? 

If you were given all the testimonies and facts from every affiliate in SFI about investing in this program you will still have to gain the confidence to do that through your inner man. 

You must know within yourself without doubt that investing in SFI and TripleClicks is for you. 

As an example: Myself – I joined many on-line programs only to have them fall apart in a couple months or to see that the program is a rip off. I learned real fast to be a “skeptic” on every on-line company I looked at. 

I made me a set of 10 rules that a company must fall into before I would consider joining them - If a program or company did not pass at least 8 of my rules then I wouldn’t join. 

When I joined SFI they only passed 7 of my rules but something in me told me to hang on for a minute or two. I signed up and during the first two months all most the only thing I did was read and do the daily activities. 

Within a short period of time I realized that SFI and TripleClicks passed all 10 of my personal rules and proved themselves more worthy than what I had listed. This has given me the confidence that I needed to make the decision to invest whatever I could in time and money because I know without a doubt I can do it through this company. 

Now I say to you – Invest the time to search within yourself and make an intelligent decision that you would be happy with. And whatever you come up with “go for it with gusto”

The biggest turn-off that should be avoided when talking with a prospects about SFI?

1. Frankly speaking there is no end to the number of ‘turn offs’. Basically, these would vary with different prospects. 

The following are the common mistakes which we commit/likely to commit while talking about SFI to a prospect, which can instantly turn him/her off! 

i) Being Pushy: Never try to force your prospects to join SFI. The principle & rules of SFI clearly state that joining SFI has to be a voluntary affair. You will be violating SFI’s culture if you are quite aggressive in your approach to a prospect! Therefore let’s carry out some smooth talking. 

ii) Promising them the”Moon”: Never bloat up or exaggerate the benefits/rewards. Keep emphasizing that it’s not an “overnight becoming millionaire “scheme. 

iii) Presenting SFI in a complicated manner: Explain in simple terms,each & every step by merely highlighting the basics;summarize the business model,sources of income,daily,weekly & monthly tasks to perform. Finally assure them that you will guide them at each step .This will instill their confidence in you. 

iv) One way traffic: Never dominate the conversation with your prospect.Always pause & lend your ears allowing them to speak & clarify their doubts. Allow the discussion to flow from both sides. 

v) Pleading/begging to join: Be quite professional in your approach. You may politely request your prospect once to try out this online venture but never beg them to join. 

2. Most of the time you do not know your prospects in person since you are promoting SFI to mere strangers either online or offline; it’s therefore hard to deduce what can be a 'turn-off'for a particular prospect. However, avoid excess information so as not to confuse them. Too much information can also be intimidating for most people and they assume that this business is difficult and complicated and will not be capable of doing it,thereby dropping the idea of joining.. 

So brief them the following:- 

A) The overall merits & benefits of SFI condensed to the point as given below:- 

i) Free to register, 

ii) Free training and world-class support around the clock. 

iii) No monthly fees 

iv) Nil experience required, 

v) Option of choosing your own working hours 

vi) Working from your own home. 

vii) Global outreach 

B) Minimum Basic Requirements: - 

i) A desk top computer/ tablet./laptop/ smart phone with an Internet connection, 

ii) Basic knowledge of English, 

iii) Determination and will to work and succeed. 

3. You will need to diplomatically convey to them how long it was before you broke even, and how much longer it was before the business earned you a profit without mentioning your monthly income! 

4. A few people are apprehensive about the need to recruit their own down lines; but if we patiently explain the free training aids to advertise & market the affiliates for our down line, all their fears can be removed. 

5. Finally, a word of caution. Never try to omit or hide any aspect of SFI that can turn off a prospect. Once he/she comes to know the truth, it will badly backfire on you. 

What is the most effective way to communicate with your team?

There are many and various ways of communicating with team members but I think the main thing to do is work out which way is best for each individual member. 

This is of course easier when you have a small team. If you have a large number of affiliates, I would recommend that you focus your communication efforts on your movers. Sure you still need to keep in contact with all members of your team, but make sure you do not lose contact with your workers. They are the ones who will bring you the money. 

The main ways I communicate with my team members are - emails, streams, e-cards and newsletter and I find emails and e-cards to be the most effective way to connect with them. 

The majority of the emails I receive from my team members are in reply to my e-card messages. I use the E-Cards a lot. They are easy and quick to use personal messages. The only minor draw back is that if I forget to save them, the messages are lost ones they have been sent. 

I find that all my workers communicate with me by email. 

Whenever I see one of my people are online, I send them a chat request and connect with them that way. I also connect with some of my team on FaceBook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Skype is also good. 

Speaking to them on the phone is not always possible for me because of where I live, the difficulty of time zones and of course the costs involved. I am after all running a business. 

So for team messages, I stick with the streams and Newsletters but for the workers, I use E-Cards and Email. 

TIP: If you haven't done so already entered all your teams emails on a mail group in your Gmail, Yahoo or whatever you use. Call it SFI Group and send out emails to them using the bcc facility say ones a month. Those emails that come back to you as undelivered are obviously not correct so you can try and find other means of connecting with those people. Every time you add PSA & CSA to your team add their emails to your group and if they leave SFI, take their names off you group mail.

What should I work on to build my SFI business when I can't access the SFI Affiliate Center?

There are many ways to grow your SFI business that does not require an Internet connection however. I am basically still pretty new to Internet Marketing, but I know quite a bit about Face to Face marketing, Hard selling, and recruiting from experience, so my advice to you, would be to do the following: 

1) Work on your warm market - Speak to friends and family (colleagues too if possible) about SFI, people who are not already signed up, and warm them up to the idea of creating an additional income stream. 

2) Hold presentations or "parties" at your home where you invite friends over specifically to introduce them to SFI, provide light snacks and some juice, maybe even a glass of wine, mention in your invites that you have something you would really like to get some advice on - works every time! 

3) Hand out/post flyers, SFI X-cards, Gift cards and more. Just check out "marketing methods" and you will find tons of ways to promote that dont require you to be on the net. 

4) Call businesses in your area that you think would benefit from the ECA programme, and If they are interested in joining, drop off one of the pamphlets SFI provides. 

5) Get an SFI t-shirt and cap and other promotional material needed to do your own flyer drops at robots, hotels, wherever! Be creative...
