Hi Alma...
Great question!
Everyone of us needs to become Better Listeners in this business.

My answer : We Listen by READING our various replies.
We must learn to to be empathetic towards your new Prospect... Place yourself in their shoes.
ASK questions about your prospect, for example: Work/ Personal goals, current Situation, their "WHY" (why do they want their own business/ earn income from Network opportunity)

And then you need to classify your

I am Excited about this new way of Creating our own 'Brochures' with our Collections.

Here's a few ideas to use it:
1. We can now target our Audience : say you want to focus on Children (parents always look for presents for kids) - now we can target the spesific audience we need to reach.
2. The selected audience can narrow their search even more and easier now.
3. Advertise your Collection to a certain audience group; Parents/Kids/Sport's Enthusiasts/Campers/Etcetera.
4.

1. Be Creative. Information overload becomes a problem daily....even I tend to scan my overloading inbox and the Subjects must be really good before I properly read the content.
2. Be Motivating and Positive - people NEED this in our daily overstressed lives.
3. Always be Available as soon as possible in answering their questions. You don't want to lose a prospective Mover, because you took too long to follow up or assist them.
4. Keep it short and even humoristic, it keeps their attention.
5.

I think it's a 50/50% risk -
Affiliates exchange inactive CSA's in the hope to motivate the new CSA's with no language barriers, but it does not mean that all your fellow country team members will indeed become Active.
There is a great chance that they might, but you must be willing to take Risks in this business Or else you might be 'stuck' with inactive members who does not understand your motivational mails due to Language translation.

Everyone knows that the most successful

The Big Picture Initiatives refers to probably 'Thinking out of the Box'.
One affiliate asked in Ask SC about using the Television as a Marketing Tool...now that is Thinking BIG.

I did not yet go that far out of my Comfort Zone, but here is what I dream to do: Massive Successful Marketing to grow a Successful stream of Movers in my downline.

Since I'm a mom and Homemaker... I don't have the necessary skills yet to approach 'Out of the Box'- Marketing..

Hi,

I certainly can relate to this question...
It is Very Important, BUT if they Don't that could also be a Positive for YOU.

Here is my family situation:
1. My sister introduced me to SFI, but due to her own personal/financial problems.... she became inactive.
She still supports me (offline), but I want her to come back as soon she can, so that she can prosper like me...

2. My brother is a VERY sceptical person... he did his own research and told

In my opinion:

1) On your Stream tab : Short motivating messages to your downline (choose which group you want to target) Your active Affiliates will see these messages daily, if they log in daily.
2) Genealogy - send Teammails to your PSA's or CSA's or ALL of them. - Training and Duplication, Motivational, Tips.
3) Online Chat option if the downline member is online while you are. (Instant Messaging) -use this for duplication and training or just a friendly "Hello, How

Hi Ritu,

One should always remember to Keep it Short and Simple.
SFI provides a lot of Training and e-mails to Train new affiliates and we are only to guide them along the way, until they understand SFI better.

I got short, effective notes from my upline when I started out, which lead me to being interested in the Topic at hand or to find out more what exactly they referred to.

In the beginning it also helps if you could include the specific link of the Topic

Hello DENIECE.

This is an Awesome Question, because you can use it to promote your business easier to prospects and convince them to join.

Why I LOVE SFI:
1. I'm my own Boss - no one looking over my shoulder and no determined work hours (open 24/7 for me to choose a suitable work time)
2. It's FREE to join
3. Free TRAINING (and I don't have to travel away from my Family to undergo a course lesson)
4. It's straightforward
5. It broadened my Horizon -

Hi Waleed,

My response : YES, this should be your Goal in SFI. Even if you don't have a team yet you can certainly set Team Leader as your Goal - there are ways to generate a team as soon as you start out in SFI.

1. Getting your friends/family to join
2. Advertising or sponsoring team members through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
3. Buying PSA's to Go
4. S-Builder
The list continues....

Therefore you should definitely strive for Team Leader.
