After the first month anyone that is a genuine home business entrepreneur will see the potential for income and wealth as an SFI affiliate. A Standing Order is the ground for success with SFI, its just a matter of what product that person likes or needs, such as the Liquid Nutrition for health conscious persons, the IAHBE membership for the "knowledge workers" or the T-Credit Standing Orders for the Penny Auction "gamers". In all business "it takes money to make money".

Hello!

I have to say i feel like someone who needs to be convinced more into taking SO. Most people probably don't have enough money to invest, or no money at all. I'm in that kind of situation. So it's not that i don't want to, i just simply can't, not yet. I have a feeling that a lot of people have the same "problem". So, from my perspective, you should explain to your downline all the benefits you get from a SO, give them advice on how to be more included in everything plus

The Standing Orders and void has many benefits for members.
We can tell the new members that if the Standing Orders are setting themselves will therefore receive a special 100 Versa points and five chances to win a day will be in the Daily Grand on where moneyt, TCreditet, MRP points Versa point your domain name to a new CSAS members to to win the Daily Grand occasion.

One have to look at the brighter sight. Example if one is to open a food stall, one need to buy raw materials to sell the product(e.g burger,rojak,fresh fruit stall and etc.)Need some money upfront to buys those raw materials.

So,Standing Order in SFI business is just like a capital for our monthly investment in our own SFI business.By having SO 125 TCredits will retain our EA status and at the same time we earned 1500 sales versapoints and 100 action versapoints which is equal to your

If you ask me to answer this question in one sentence, I would say, it is very easy to convince your downline about the benefits of placing a SO only and only when you have already placed a SO.

If they see your badge (1500vp SO) on your leadership page, they are almost convinced to place their SO. They can easily duplicate you without any second thought about it.

However, in case, if they are still not convinced, it means they really don't have enough money to place the order.

Hi,

Convincing someone with money involvement is little bit harsh. In that way they will not feel comfortable. As they knew the important of SO but they are not ready yet to spend monthly for that SO. Why some do not set SO easily like that? Because they are not yet decided whether they will stay or they will stop. Infact SO is not free you need to pay monthly. I will tell you base on my techniques. I have 17 badges. Im in BTL but I dont have SO. Why? its not free. In my way now I order

I don't think your downline should need convincing, to get a Standing Order! If they know the benefits of an SO, then they will want it,.. to help their business.
Personally, no one tried to convince me that I needed a SO (except what shows up on the Alerts page), when I looked into it and saw that it would help me and my business, I knew it was the right thing to do!
My suggestion would be to not try and convince anyone to do anything. If they want to succeed, they will find out what

I don't think you should pressure your downline in placing a Standing Order. If you encourage them to go through the SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD they will learn (as we all did) the importance of placing a Standing Order. I know that I realized it after the first week within SFI -- but I was working SFI every day. I encourage all my PSA/CSAs to get their daily VPs and I think over time they will see the benefits of being EA2 or higher each month.

you can tell them clearly that maintaining the position is very important and for that we need minimum versa points to be collect. Every month we have to reach 1500 versa points SO will help them hassle free gaining versa points. It is not necessary for searching the items and looking at the versa points for buying the product and tallying the price. All these problems will solve by SO.

If you set up the SO towards tc credits you can use these tc credits for buying essential things and

Personally I would not tell my PSA's/CSA's to set p a standing order...as outline in the training that SFI provides.

SFI will do that part for you...during their 30 day training they will decide for themselves if the can afford a standing order or not..when you try to convince them to do so...you might be doing yourself more harm than good.

Just offer valuable information and support as much as possible and try to build a relationship instead of convincing them to spend.

Hope
