Whether you meet your prospect online or offline, writing a follow-up email is crucial to your success. Following up is about reminding your prospects that you exist. It’s about plugging into a routine drill to keep reminding others of the value proposition you have to offer.

Here are important points that you need to consider when writing follow-up e-mails to be effective in getting results:

* A good way to follow up an unanswered e-mail is by replying to the first one you sent. This will enable you to keep the follow-up short, make the initial context easy for the reader to find and emphasize that they have not responded to you.

* When sending a follow up e-mail on your prospects, they might not have read yet your initial e-mail. When your prospects receive your follow-up e-mails, they might need to dig through their inbox to search the original for context. This will of course require effort and you need to make sure that you make things easier for your prospects to achieve an optimal outcome.

* Schedule your follow-ups. The best way to make sure that you follow-up, is to schedule it during or immediately after you send an e-mail. Mark your calendar or use your calendar planer on your smartphone.

* Keep the time interval. The time interval between the initial e-mail and the follow up really depends upon where you are in the life cycle of a relationship or deal. For an initial e-mail, following up within 4 days or within a week is ideal. It really comes down to a feel thing. You don’t want to be pushy, so space out your follow up e-mails.

* To be effective in your follow-up, don’t forget to add your personal touch. Your prospects will clearly distinguish if you’re just sending a generic message or providing them the right information to easily understand what’s in it for them.

* Always make a reference of your first e-mail/conversation in your follow-up. Highlights the facts that your prospects need to know to make it easier for them to remember.

Effectiveness of follow-up is directly tied to how quickly follow-up occurs. You need to remember that the art of follow-up is less important than the act of follow-up. Get in the game first. And then work on your craft. Following the above guidelines will help you to follow up effectively that get results.

Getting your friends to join your Eager Zebra game league is an excellent way to sign up PRMs. Your league members can become active and will invite others to play or may start their own separate leagues, eventually expanding your PRM network infinitely – your income potential will grow exponentially.

Before getting your friends to join your Eager Zebra game league, develop an effective strategy on how to approach them, taking into consideration how to engage them long term.

You should know the mechanics of a particular game (Card King, Gold Streak, Knockout Trivia, etc.).

You’ll be able to gain a great deal of knowledge if you’re participating in the EZ games as part of your daily To-Do List.

You should be able to explain to them clearly how to participate in your EZ game league.

Try to give a brief summary of the rules of your EZ game league. Be clear and concise as much as you can in communicating this to them.

Describe how you’re having fun playing the EZ game; if you can vividly express your excitement in playing your chosen EZ game, you’ll spark your friends’ interest and will likely ask you for more details.

Let them know that you have your own customized webpage for your EZ game league, complete with a real-time Leaderboard, schedule, live chatboard, commissioner tools and more.

Tell them that they’ll be provided with weekly stats for the entire duration of EZ game league season.

As a league commissioner, you can use your creativeness to make your EZ game league always more fun and enjoyable by recognizing your top scorer in your league with a prize. Consider installing emoticons to describe appropriately how your league members performed every week or at the end of the season.

Use blogging in recapping your league weekly/season performance, highlighting the excitement of your EZ game, recognizing your league members badges and winnings, etc. By doing this, you stay committed in engaging with your league members.

You can post your “Friend Challenge Link” by being a top player in Gold Streak, Card King or Knockout Trivia. This method is effective in compelling them to act by accepting your challenge, besides they can play for free to try it out.

You can also start posting engaging images of your badges and winnings with compelling taglines and hashtags at Instagram to engage your friends.

Encourage your league members to share post of their (weekly/season) stats to their friends to keep them engage and excited. It could lead this to having their friends join and form their own separate leagues – they could become your prospective PRMs.

As the league commissioner, you can encourage your league members by intensifying your level of activity in playing the EZ games, posting every top scoring performance, making them to see your passion and excitement in your EZ game league.

This is a question of getting support from your family members with your SFI business. How to get your family members support your SFI business without them becoming affiliates may not be as difficult as you may think.

Important points to consider before getting your family members involve in your SFI business:

- You need to understand that they may not know as much as you about your SFI business.

- Give complete information about your SFI business to your family members. In this step you’ll be able to answer their questions and clarify any misconceptions in the type of business you’re engaging.

- Share with them what you are looking to receive from your SFI business in the long term.

- Let them know with the extra money you earn, you can supplement your income to meet other important financial needs such as putting away money for your emergency funds, retirement, paying down car loan, saving for your children college education, etc.

- Be more specific on your objectives for asking them to get involve in your SFI business. If you can communicate with them clearly why you’re doing SFI, you’ll probably win their support. Who wouldn’t want a family member succeed in making his/her life better?

Here are several ways to get them involve:

- Once your family members learn the importance of your SFI business and the people connected with it, if you’re not home and if a person connected with your SFI business or a prospect likes to meet you personally or talk to you over the phone, your family members can deal with him/her in a better manner.

- If you’re more involved in meeting prospects face to face doing presentations in an open-house setting or attending networking events, your wife could be a good partner. Because she now understands what you’re looking to receive long term in your SFI business, she’ll help you to prepare organizing your open-house session.

By doing this, she’ll learn more about your SFI business and talk to people over the phone when you’re not at home. She’ll begin to understand your problems/challenges and she can give her suggestions or solve those problems.

- She can play the role of a trustworthy assistant in growing your SFI business and the entire family would benefit from this.

- You can also ask her take part in networking events, meetings and seminars. In this way your wife will understand the meaning of wearing a dress code and talking in a proper manner.

It’s important that you map out a plan on the time that you’ll spend on your SFI business, if they will help and how they can help, always stay in communication. Share your schedules and make sure they’re aware of your meetings with prospects or networking events.

Most people who joined SFI are not all alone they have families, this kind of business is all about relationships. Your spouse, parents and children are important relationships that can grow together through your SFI business. If they are willing to help share with them some areas you could use their help. Lean on each other's gifts and talents. Maybe you can ask them to help with specific tasks that you know they would be good at.

When your family is on board building your SFI business comes so much easier as the pressure is relieved so that you can focus on building your network connections. Do whatever it takes including the strategies above to win your family’s support and you’ll be so much happier sharing the dream you are building with those who mean the most to you.

Don’t just focus on the time factor and draw your conclusion about when to expect producing income from your SFI business. You can have more than the time you need, but are you focusing on activities that produce income from your SFI business?

Do you have any strategic plan on how you spend your time and some financial investments towards meeting your expectation of when to produce your income? This is a critical question that only you can answer.

When can you expect producing income from your SFI business will depend on the following aspects?

- Do you have your own lead generation system targeting high qualified prospects?

Lead generation is the lifeblood of your SFI business. Without having a constant supply of fresh, targeted leads, your business will not grow at all and you won’t be producing any income. You need to invest in creating your own lead generation system by having your own website/blog, landing page, autoresponder system, etc. You need to allocate time for creating relevant content to attract your target, share compelling information in social media to effectively engage prospects and to add human value to your brand and focus on keyword optimization (SEO) to make sure that your SFI business is easily accessible when prospects search for keywords that relate to your SFI business.

It is a fact that generating your own leads will give you the best prospects. Start the rapport building process with your leads by communicating and listening to them and then provide a solution that fits their needs. This will initiates the conversion of your leads into sign ups.

- Have you been consistently training and supporting your downline in duplicating your efforts?

You will not make real money in your SFI business unless you really know how to build your downline that is, sponsoring the right quantity and quality of PSAs, training, coaching and developing their skills, and showing them how to duplicate the process to build their downlines.

Once you figure out how to do all three steps, your downline will have its own life, not just dependent on you being their Team Leader and sponsor.

- Are you striving to attain leveraging on the efforts, time, money and skills of your downline to effectively build their SFI business and increase their income potential?

Leveraging is a model that every SFI business owner should understand in order to succeed. It is all about achieving more with less. It allows you to duplicate your time through the efforts of your team members to achieve maximum results. The power of leveraging will depend on team members who share your goal of building a strong SFI business and are willing to work for it, and how you develop your downline into duplication by committing into SFI BASICS.

- Are you generating TripleClicks sales?

An immediate source of income is by generating TC sales. There are several ways to generate TripleClicks sales:

1. You can start learning and applying the marketing methods and marketing aids from your Marketing tab.

2. Share TC products information through E-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other social networking sites by sharing the link: “Share & Win”.

These are the type of activities that you should be engaging to start producing income from your SFI business.

“Elevator pitch” refers to giving a synopsis of SFI in a condensed version. It is short enough to get your concept across to a person in the time between floors in an elevator.

You need to know the importance of having a concise, brief and clear description of what you do on the tip of your tongue at a moment’s notice. You need to make sure that what you say during that brief window is actually being communicated clearly.

Here are some things to keep in mind when formulating and delivering your elevator pitch:

- The concept of SFI must be clearly communicated.

The pitch must be short, concise and clearly states what the name of the company which is Strong Future International (SFI) and what you do. The person hearing it would not have any further questions about what SFI offers, after hearing your elevator pitch. Being this clear allows the person you are speaking to think about ways he/she may be able to use your services or refer business to you, etc.

Example: My company is Strong Future International. We are one of the top network marketing opportunities worldwide. We offer substantial income to everyone, making money everywhere. You can participate as long as you want and there is no obligation or purchase requirement of any kind.

- Check for words that make the person you’re speaking to take pause.

For example: “My company Strong Future International pays your commission based on your monthly VersaPoints.”

The person you’re speaking to will say: What? That is internal language that means nothing to someone outside of SFI. If someone said that to me, I would be thinking, ”Why do they think that I should already know what they are talking about?” Not only do I not get what you do, I have no idea what you may have said after that because I’m having internal dialogue. Try telling your pitch to someone who is a complete stranger, have never heard of your company and have no clue what you do – if they get it, you’ve done it.

- Keep your messaging clear and concise.

Avoid corporate jargon whenever possible. If the person is not familiar with the terms you’re using, he/she will be confused.

- Utilizing a question would contribute to the effectiveness of your speech by engaging your audience.

For example: Do you need an extra income working from home? Would you like to have a share in company-wide sales commissions every month?

Asking questions can act as an attention grabber and an attention gauge. It is important to not only capture the attention of the person you are speaking to but to also gauge how interested they are in the conversation. If they seem very interested in learning why you asked them the question you did, you can tailor your messaging to meet their interest level.

- Knowing your business.

When prodded for more information, don’t sound as you’re reciting lines and don’t really know the subject matter. You should know very well why and what makes SFI one of the top network marketing opportunities worldwide.

The bottom line is that an elevator pitch is extremely important and worth taking the time to develop so it is easily understood and projects exactly what it is that you do. It may mean that you try out many elevator pitches until you find the right fit but it’s worth it. You never know whom you may run into in an elevator.
