Remind them that SFI has been around since 1985 and since being taken over by Gery Carson, in 1998 has been steadily growing stronger and stronger, and has been helping affiliates from all over the world to become better marketers while paying out millions of dollars to help them gain success.

Also you can show them how Gery is always visible and has always been around for those who have questions. And his staff is always helpful and courteous, and always answers within 24 to

First of all, it bothers me when people speak of other people as good or bad quality. We are all born the same, and have all the same chance of becoming someone great.

If we treat our signups as if they will be the very best and encourage and motivate them, there will still be some who just don't get it. And it doesn't matter where they come from or what they do or have done in their lives. Everyone is potentially a good prospect. But even if you spend a lot of money for signups

I haven't done this myself yet, but I've read that one good method is to put them in the mail you send out, like your water bill, gas or light bill. Another good idea is to put them in with the candy when kids come to trick or treat. You could offer one to the cashier at the grocery store. Or to the waitress or hostess or waiter at the restaurant you go to.

There's no limit to ways you can use these gift cards, and there's no reason just to give them to family and friends. Give them to

The most valuable thing I learned in my first year was to focus.

I had jumped from one program to another and was getting nowhere, but
once I started focusing on SFI, things changed. It's been two years
now and I'm still focusing on SFI and the only thing I use is marketing
tools that allow me to build my downline with qualified prospects,

I'm also more able to help my downline, because I focused on learning
my way around. The longer I stay with SFI the stronger

When they contact you and ask questions, you know you have an affiliate who is eager to get started. Always answer them quickly and give them the one on one attention for a while until you see that they're ready to go on their own.

Many will sign up and never even take another look. So if an affiliate is asking questions and following directions, then you definitely have a good one.

Remember: Work with the workers.

What encouragement can I give to an affiliate who feels he or she is getting nowhere with SFI?

The fact that they are coming to you and telling you this is to commend them for. Tell them that's a great thing and you really appreciate it. Also remind them that Rome wasn't built in a day and that even a brick and mortar business takes time to build and this is no different. Tell them to read everything they can and learn about SFI, And then do what you read and teach others to do the same. And that's basically all that's required to do.

First, look to your sponsor/co-sponsors,
since your success is their success.

Then try the forum, the help desk, A2A,
and finally, Ask SC.

If you visit all these and make a habit of
taking notes and getting to know people.

Before you know it, you'll have a huge
amount of people you can talk to.

Have fun with your search:)

How would it benefit me to transfer TCredits to my PSAs or CSAs?

It would give them confidence in you as a sponsor/cosponsor and help them to trust you, so that when you send them messages they will be more likely to read and do the tasks you present to them.

I would only do this sparingly though, so as not to make them too dependant. They need to also learn to use the tcredits for more than just the pricebenders auctions. Show them how to list things on their tconnect pages and start making sales. Also show them how to do the t-time and direct them

Why do some affiliates find success with SFI in just weeks, while for others it takes months or years?

Everyone has their own style, their own mindset, and their own abilities.
For some, SFI is one of many opportunities they've been in and they know
most of what's being presented and how to advertise and mentor others to
success. So for them it's easier and they just get right in there and do
what they need to do.

For others there are a lot of hurdles and they have problem with setting
up a standing order. They may live in a country that isn't allowed to use

I try to always remember what I was taught several years ago.

For every 100 no's you get there will be a yes. So I just try
to get a fast no. Go on and get it over with. The statistics
don't lie. Ask them if they are interested in earning while they
learn. Offer them a way to get out from under their debts, a way
to find their dream job, and a way to retire early.

SFI is a long term and gradual way to be better in five to ten
years than you're doing
