Standing Order, as the term suggests, is an ORDER.!

When does one give an ORDER?
Only when he/she has complete control of the knowledge of the SFI business.

Unless, the WIIFM(What's In It For Me) is not set into the mindset of the SFI businessperson, it becomes a difficult proposition to even explain the "benefits" and expect someone to be convinced, let alone be pressurized.

So, we need to focus on the PROCESS of making our PSA/CSA understand, and,

You don`t have to convince them.
If they are here to stay, sooner or later they will realize that having a Standing Order helps them growing their business.
If you have a Standing Order it helps, but it`s not a must.
For instance, my sponsor has no SO, but i issued one on my second month.
We all have different approach for working our own business, there is no such thing as a "great plan of success". Maybe some people just don`t like to pay every month, they prefer to

Just tell affiliates that this choice exists and refer them to the Standing Order Section or the Launchpad Lesson dealing with this. Encourage them to log in and set up a Standing Order, but don't force them by saying that it is a requirement to set up a Standing Order, just as you would not force an affiliate to gain EA status. Let the messages generated by the SFI and TripleClicks Systems do their work. That's what they were created to do.

The best way to encourage affiliates to

How to convince a downline about the benefits of having a Standing Order without them feeling pressured is the following:

Explain The Benefits of Standing Orders.
We have to explain the benefits of standing order carefully. To understand the benefits of standing orders, it is expected to grow awareness to have standing order without feeling burdened. Feeling overburdened will change into something needs to succeed in SFI

I think you should do this :

1. you must have a Standing Order too, because if we have a standing order will be easy
for us to advise our downline to make a standing order also, so they would think if
you have a standing order why they do not.

2. Standing Order is a good strategy, tell them that the Standing Order is very
important because this is a strategy very easy to implement for anyone who are just
starting a business in SFI to maintain

A good Downline will know that a standing order is the right option once they access their SFI and TripleClicks account daily.

It would be nice if they set it up from the get go but seeing that most persons are skeptical about this business they will just take their time or not perform a task at all. This should not discourage us as leaders. Once we see from our movers tab that individuals are actually working it means that there is still hope for getting them to set up a standing order.

This is a question that is so important it could be argued to be the "make or break" indicator of your SFI campaign.
As we all know the first month is straightforward and the magic 1500 VP threshold is reached. In month 2 and 3 and so on it is more difficult to accumulate the minimum number of points so its evry important to setup a Standing Order.
For less than $30 per month you can achieve this. I would compare this fee as one of 2 things.
Firstly, it is similar a pension

You can start by adding up the action points for the second month of an EA which will be far less than 1500VP,therefore that should be enough to motivate them to place a SO.Tell them how you or other people lost part of their compensation because they took too long to decide on a SO.The SO is also best for those who do not have daily internet access.

You have to feed them with as much information as you can about SFI,the more knowledge you have,the better the understanding about the business

To convince my members to get standing orders, I tell them the benefits.

1st they will be able to retain their EA status.

2nd if they get TC credits as their standing order they can get huge discounts. 1 regular TC costs USD1.89 while getting it bulk will cost only about USD 29 cents.

3rd they can use TC to bid for PSAs, CSAs, gadgets and more at pricebenders auction where they can save up to 99% on retail price. Winning PSAs and CSAs is also an easy way to increase

I would make sure that I have asked them what their goals are with SFI. If you know what they are looking for out of this business, then you can remind them that in order to achieve what they want, they must treat their business like a business. A standing order is a business expense, and a tax write-off. It is also a personal motivation tool. When somebody has to invest some money or "skin in the game" as I call it, they are much more motivated to work this business. Explain the benefits
