History Of The SFI Marketing Group
SFI is a division of Carson Services, Inc., headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska USA.
Founded in 1985, Carson Services has a long and successful track record in the publishing and network-marketing industries.
SFI is the exclusive marketing arm for the IAHBE (International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs) and Veriuni™, a line comprised of nutritional, cleaning, personal care, pet care, telecommunication products, and more.
SFI was launched in 1998. Today, with tens of thousands of affiliates in over 200 countries, it is believed to be the largest affiliate network in the world.
SFI's unprecedented success has been largely attributed to the unique makeup of its affiliate program—a hybrid combination of the best parts of traditional direct sales and network marketing, combined with the technological advantages of the Internet.

Training And Advice
How To Make Over $60,000 A Year With SFI:
Optional Alternative To Step 1
Of course, you can be EA however you want, either by buying your choice of products or selling them retail to people not yet in SFI. Fact is you can be EA without buying a thing by using one or more of the many other ways SFI gives you to do that. But whatever you choose, it's essential that you be EA.
2) Second, join SFI's EyeEarn Advertising Co-op. This costs you just $20.00 one-time for life. EyeEarn causes new affiliates, sponsored by you, to be deposited into your ever-increasing downline every month. These people, having become exposed to SFI and this plan that you share with them, will follow your example and become EA, if you and they do what the plan is asking you each to do.
Optional Alternative To Step 2
Of course, you can market the SFI business opportunity any way you want, or sell SFI's products retail, and get new affiliates in your downline that way, if you choose. You can buy EyeEarn Co-op shares but it's not required. The important thing is to have as many new affiliates as you can placed on your team each month so that most of them become EA during the month.
3) Lastly, share this document with every affiliate you've personally sponsored, your PSAs. It is recommended that you do this on at least a weekly basis. This is quite easy to do by using the group email facility you can find at your Genealogy webpage to email them this document or the link to it.
Follow up, keep after them until they see the possiblities. Help them understand what can be realized for them when they join your EA team.
Show them, using the words in this document, that they can turn no more than a $900 yearly expense into more than a $60,000 per year income!
This means that for, at most, a measly $75 a month investment, their cumulative return for the year can turn out to be over 100 times what they spend for the year! Exciting? You better believe it is!
There you have it! The 3 step process that can make you and each EA member of your team a big success in SFI.
General Tips:
• Don't wait for everything to be exactly right to start...THERE WILL NEVER BE A "PERFECT" TIME! Start now, with whatever you have. The things you need will come to you as you work toward your goal.
• Treat your business as a serious, full-time business, and it will become one.
• Though SFI is one of the few businesses where you can earn while you learn, think of your first six months primarily as a training period. Don't expect large earnings until after you've educated yourself.
• Be patient. You'll work the hardest your first six months or so and get compensated the least. Big incomes never happen overnight. They only come after you've properly shown your affiliates how to duplicate your efforts.
• Formulate a plan of weekly activity and be persistent in following it—if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Sticking to your plan is essential for success.
• Always be ENTHUSIASTIC!!
• Don't give your affiliates unrealistic expectations.
• FOCUS! You cannot become successful in anything when you're trying to do too many things at once.
• Don't quit. The only way to fail is if you give up.
• Think BIG! Small desire produces small results, just as small fires produce little heat.
• Don't complain to your upline leaders. Realize that what you accomplish is mainly in your hands, no one else's. Also realize that, when you see a problem, 95% of the time there are factors you are unaware of. Don't jump to conclusions. When you have a problem, present it in a concise letter as positive, constructive criticism. Offer solutions if possible, too. Not only will this approach get you better results, but you'll be building your relationship with your upline instead of tearing it down.
• Be organized, but don't allow the act of organizing keep you from the most important element of a successful SFI business: MARKETING. Market and promote your business EVERY DAY!
• Don't let little problems upset you. Concentrate on the many positives...and the "big picture."
• Always remember that the only thing that will never change is that there will always be changes. Don't let changes upset you. Know that you will have to deal with changes and other obstacles, both big and small, continually. Be prepared to be flexible.
• Don't be a negative thinker and don't let the negative attitudes of others (even if they're family members, friends, or peers) influence you. All the great men and women in history had to overcome the naysayers who said it couldn't be done—and then went out and did it. Think for yourself!
• Don't be derailed by "perfection paralysis." Realize that you won't be able to do everything perfectly. Do the best job you can, then move on to the next project. Keep learning and keep moving ahead.
• Read books (such as Napoleon Hill's classic, "Think And Grow Rich") that will convince you how powerful your mind really is. Develop the tremendous potential in you (that we all have) that has never been tapped!
• Remember always..."IF IT'S TO BE, IT'S UP TO ME."
Building Your Affiliate Network:
WHY?
The fact is, you don't need to sponsor tons of affiliates to be successful. Rather, you simply need to sponsor a handful of good people who DUPLICATE what you do.
Yes, regularly sponsoring new affiliates is very important, but it should not be 100% of what you do. At least 50% of your time and effort should be spent working with those who you've already sponsored, teaching them how to do what you do.
Have you ever said to yourself, "Gee, if I just had a few people just like me!"?
Indeed, this is the key. And the way you "clone" yourself is by identifying your affiliates who show serious interest and then working with them any way you can to get them fully engaged and active.
Tips For Recruiting New Affiliates:
• Stick to the facts. Don't exaggerate the opportunity.
• Realize that "rejection" is natural. For every 20 people you contact, expect 19 "no's" for every "yes." You may very well do better than that, but expect 19 rejections. This way, the rejections won't bother you because you expect them. Also, realize that they're not rejecting YOU—they're simply rejecting an idea. Just keep moving ahead. Be persistent, ignore the rejections, and you'll get more than enough "yes's" to build a highly successful business.
• Always remember SW-SW-SW-SW-N: Some will. Some won't. So what?! Someone's waiting. Next!
• Have FUN! People can't resist someone having fun. Make your business so much fun that others will flock to you to join you.
• Ask for people's opinion on the opportunity. It's a good way to determine what objections they might have to joining and also allows you the chance to overcome those objections.
• Don't place a few ads or contact a few people and expect the money to start rolling in. Expect to work your business consistently for two to three years before seeing a really substantial income.
• Ask for referrals. Ask, "Do you know anyone who might be looking to earn some extra money?"
• Build a list of contacts. Add to it daily.
• Don't become obsessed with sponsoring a "heavy hitter." Instead, learn how to become a heavy hitter yourself.
Leadership Tips:
• Know that most people crave recognition. RECOGNIZE your affiliates who are doing good things with praise and rewards.
• Don't waste time on skeptics or non-motivated people. They will NOT succeed in your business or any other similar endeavor. They do not possess the qualities of a winner (this includes "rocking-chair advisors" who talk and talk, seem to know all the answers, but never act).
• Communicate constantly! Keep in touch with everyone you're personally sponsoring and who are in your team regularly. For your key people, make it daily if possible. The methods you can use are numerous: newsletters, meetings, phone calls, e-mail, voice mail, faxes, postcards, etc.
• Use IAHBE resources every day! Learn as much about IAHBE as you can so you can easily describe its numerous benefits. To become an IAHBE member yourself, go to the SFI Affiliate Store .
• Assist the persons you are sponsoring in SFI and the persons in your team as much as you can. Help them sponsor their first several affiliates. Let them know that you offer your support. Teach your affiliates the importance of doing the same for those in THEIR teams. In helping others become successful, you can become successful. It's also a wonderful way to make life-long friends.
• Don't do things for your affiliates that they should do themselves—or you will create "cripples."
• Avoid promoting your business in any way that causes your prospects to say to themselves, "Oh, now I see how this thing works, but I could never do that." In other words, if you are to succeed, your prospects must always be able to envision themselves doing what you're doing.
• Develop retail customers and encourage your affiliates to do the same. Doing so can generate immediate profits. This also builds confidence and has a springboard effect for future success in all facets of the business.
How Does A $29.95 Membership Only Cost Around $20?:
When you take out an IAHBE membership on a monthly standing order it automatically qualifies you to become EA, or an Executive Affiliate. As an EA you get a guaranteed commission on your purchases and get locked in to the SFI Powerline, which averages around a minimum of $10 commission each month.
