My answer:
I understand that you want to evaluate the business by putting my personal results on your own scale of success. However, my income reflects only my own effort and results; they do not reflect in any way the real business potential as many people are making much more than I do and you could be making much more yourself. The other thing is that our income grows as we build the business with time; so, again, my income now is much different than what it will be in a year, 2 years or

My -Answer would be this:
In one and half month I have earned much beyond my Expectations. But do not weigh earning in pounds or dollars . In this period I have earned heavily by learning the basics of Internet marketing and have succeeded in squeezing in myself the confidence that I will be able to pull through. Its an earning for life and I can spend that over and over again. A recurring earning.

My answer would be this,

I do not like to discuss how much i'm earning here at SFI because results will vary from person to person, but i can assure you that if i was not making anything i found worth while i would not have stuck with the system for so long.

If you put the work in and be patient you will make some good money, it will all depend on you and i will help you achieve any goal you set for yourself!

This is one of the first questions many prospects ask. I always tell them although it's against the company's policy to make income claims I can tell you that you will not earn anything from SFI if you do nothing. If you want to supplement your income SFI is a great choice. If you want to replace your current income again SFI is an excellent option but don't quit your current job thinking that you are going to get rich over night. That is not going to happen. But if you follow a proven path

To the one asknig above question, you must clarify that:

#Your own income is not the correct scale to evaluate the business @ SFI, everyone gets what they deserves according to a proper working system.

#SFI is not a one day billionaire business that will let you earn high income for nothing.

#Instead it is the place where you decide your goals, how much you want to earn and work for it and achieve it.

#Also as in the business, more the time you spend, more

I don't want to chose your words for you but here is what you should focus on when you answer.

You should absolutely be honest with them but the key is in the emphasis. If you have been working the business your earnings have probably grown a great deal from month to month. You may not be making much but if you went from $1.00 in month one to $5.00 in month two that says something. This is a long term business, you have to get people to look at it with long range vision.

I will tell the prospect the truth.That you must work everyday investing in time and sometimes small amounts of money.My earnings will vary.I have just started and I am investing,but as you know all investments at the beginning does not bring big profits.what I am aware of though is that many Affiliates who joined before me are already earning a fat residual income from working with SFI.I do know that mine is small now, but that will be improved very soon to a residual income.

This is a very important question. First and foremost, you should not lie to them.It will only come back to haunt you and they will know it. I would simply tell them that I am new and have not yet reached my potential earnings,but I am earning. As my experience grows so will my commisions.

"And the truth shall set you free!"

I find that telling the truth can go a long way. Although, in the beginning you do not make a lot of money, it is all part of a stepping stone in running your own business.

I always tell them that everyones results will be and can be greatly different. It all depends on how much time they can dedicate, where and how much advertising they do and if they are able to take advantage of some of the items SFI makes available to help develop and grow their business. Results vary per individual, there is no way to compare one to another.
