The question actually is about two different actions. Quitting SFI and Giving up on SFI.
The one who has Quit can be deemed as opted out. So our time will be well spent and our efforts worthwhile if we concentrate on those who are Giving up on SFI
While we deal with the problem of affiliates giving up on SFI, we find that there are people who just signup but do not even confirm their email ID, which is mandatory for registration with SFI and those who do not do a single action since signup. It may not be worthwhile to look for remedy in these cases. But it will really be worthwhile to turn towards the people who earnestly started as you and me with SFI and at certain point of time will feel like giving up.
Most will agree with me that after the easy and fast scoring of 1500 VPs in the first month,the testing time usually comes in second or third month. That is when one realizes that one has to score selling points of 1500 VPS in addition to the required action points.
It is too early to have an active downline, for most of us want to have a feel of success in SFI even before approaching our 'warm; market. Not withstanding all the tips about earning the required Versa Points without a Standing Order which fetches us 1500 VPS, it is inevitable that one has to have one or more Standing orders to progress well in SFI, that too month after month for a few months. Because the other methods advocate playing T-Time, bidding, winning in draws in Daily grand and E365 or Wave 3 draws for earning VPs and these need not solely depend on your hard work. This is the time they pause and take stock of the situation.
'To give up? or to go ahead?'
So what can we do? Apart from the daily actions and other advocated actions, it will go a long way if a deserving one gets a gift certificate of $10. One can earn more than 500 VPs by judiciously using them. It will definitely help them to stretch the points tally. Pre-information about the quantity of CSAs they will be getting on attaining certain milestones, holds out hope and can motivate them to continue to work.
They might have been discouraged by reading a few posts of difficulty and failure which brings dismay in the minds. But giving them the links to the great tips and forum posts of endurance and success of the SFI leaders,at regular basis will work as tonic and inspiration to the downline affiliates.
Sharing the knowledge which we have gained also gives them a real start up.
Convincing them to join a co-op too helps.
Leading them till they become BTL should suffice, for by then they would have gathered enough knowledge and confidence to continue on their own.

As sponsors, we should recommend our affiliates to become members of WAVE3 in their first month itself.

Being new to SFI, they may not know the utility of WAVE3. Therefore it is essential that we tell them the value of WAVE3

Tell them that among all other marketing material offered by SFI for promoting TripleClicks, WAVE3 is one of the best to kick start our advertising campaigns.

Tell them that It comes with a physical product, the Decal sticker, which when placed on our car or that of a relative or that of a friend, carries the message of the free gifts offered by TripleClicks and there-by attracts prospective PRMs, through whom we benefit, even though they are unknown to us!

Tell them that we can expect PRMs without any efforts from us, wherever we travel in our car, wherever we park our car in public places and Malls.

Tell them that we get direct commissions from whatever sales generated through these PRMs and the Versa Points allotted to the products are added to us.

Apart from these:

5 FreeT Credits and 50 Free MRPs every month added to our account for completing a two minute survey.

Ordering the WAVE3 kit gives us the first ever experience to do transaction of ordering and receiving a physical product delivered at our home from Tripleclicks, which, in a way strengthens our faith that TC, and SFI are genuine.

After ordering the kit, and after an anxious wait which may take anything between 15 days to 30 days, when the kit finally arrives at our place, the thrill which we get is unmatched.

The kit contains a few full color W3 X- cards, as well.

All these are Free. Of course, the shipping charges less than $2/- that we pay amounts to nothing when compared to the potential advantages the program can offer.

Remember once we become W3 members, we can order for 50 No. W3 X-cards for free delivered to us Free!

The ideal way to go about starting a new month in SFI and achieve success :

Define your goals for the month.

Review last month’s performance. Which activities bore good results?

Plan your activities for the month that can take you near to the goal.

Ensure that the Standing order is in place. Would you try another product or add another?

Apart from the required sales VPs and daily to-do list action points, how have you planned to earn the balance action VPs required for the rank re-qualification?

How many VPs are assured from the movers? Go through their VP ledger with in the first three days of the new month and contact them individually to congratulate the achievers, to encourage the hard workers and to suggest ways to the new affiliates how to reach their month’s goal.

Then prepare some action plan to revive non active PSAs and CSAs

Plan your posting advertisements schedule for the month

Along with all these, never miss reading SFI news letters and alerts

From start to end the month, keep doing your Daily, Weekly and Monthly actions

If someone wants to pursue SFI, it is great news because it shows that the person has, to an extent knows about SFI, knows that it is real and knows that it pays.

Unfortunately it may be a misunderstanding that the person thought that progressing in SFI requires a lot of time.

The person might have got overwhelmed by so many Team leaders giving tips of success and also by the SFI’s vast training material provided. Since the person finds limited time to invest in SFI, we may conclude that the person is already employed. If that is so, it is all the more easier for them to pursue and succeed with SFI program.

They should consider SFI as their second income opportunity and need not be in a hurry to see the actual income in a short period.

For continuing in SFI, it needs Investment of time and money. If one can invest both, the progress and growth will be fast.
If one can invest only time, the growth will be very slow. But if one can invest more money and a little time, the growth will be slow and steady and is ideally suited to employed people.

Keeping a standing order for a product, and doing daily, weekly and monthly actions is enough for you to keep your team leader position. Subscribing to S-Builder will take care of downline team building.

So only the time needed is to do the daily, weekly and monthly actions. And the time needed for this can be managed by anyone however busy that person may be.

The persons who can invest on standing order and S-Builder every month are the lucky ones if they are reconciled to the fact that their growth will be slow and steady. They are bound to succeed unless they quit.

The Great Team Leaders who have tens and thousands of downline affiliates under them do not do anything differently. They are not super beings. But they do the things truthfully and perfectly as SFI has outlined in the basic training.

With one year in SFI we may have a downline of one thousand affiliates and we moan and grumble that we have just four active ones. Those successful leaders might have gathered 10,000 affiliates, buy virtue of intense advertising, buying and winning; yet they too would have had just 40 active affiliates, had they not been striving to be ‘Awesome Sponsors’. The huge downline speaks of volumes of their years of experience, their persistence and truthfully and skilfully following the script of ’Duplication’ as detailed by SFI.

They have been motivating their downline, they have been inspiring their downline, they encourage them, assist them and nurture them. All in all they have shown themselves as shining and towering example of true leaders and roll models, not only for their team but also for the entire SFI community. Thus the leaders made leaders and leaders; thus they grew up huge downline.

When the question is, ‘What are the best ways to stay in contact with PSAs and CSAs?’, the second part of the question, ‘how often’ becomes irrelevant. ‘Stay in contact’ implies continuation of contact. Then the answer is ,’Constantly’ Yes it augers well if both, the sponsors and the affiliates stay constantly connected.
Once we understand the significance of contact, which in this context means communication, then we should elaborate it. What kind of communication?
A communication with the affiliates need not be always of general nature like team mails on motivation, inspiration and tips. These if sent often may be resented by some because team mails go to all affiliates, new and old.
When a congratulatory message goes to the affiliates who advanced to the next level, will they resent it?
If the communication is a ‘Gift certificate’, as recognition of certain achievement, will it be resented?
When the communication is a suggestion of options available to advance to the next level, or to re-qualify as EA, will it be resented?
If you communicate a contest where anyone from the downline can participate and benefit, will it be considered a nuisance?
Therefore our contact/communication to our PSAs and CSAs, in correct context should be constant as per the situations demand.

Best way is to use team mails and social media for communication of general nature, and individual mailing, genealogy chat.social media chat and skype for specific messages.

It is interesting to learn through this question that the affiliates do approach the sponsors at times! Well in my experience, so may be with many other sponsors, the reality is other way round. We have been all along grappling with the problem of non-responsive downline affiliates.

Getting back to the question, yes it could be true because of the 'Fast Track' benefits, many affiliates become BTLs in the first month itself with a distinct disadvantage. Neither they had time to learn in detail their training lessons nor have they built up a downline of affiliates. Thereby they themselves have to look to their sponsors for support.

It is a fact that a team leader supports the downline through his or her experience; lack of it results in being non-responsive.

So the recourse could be the SFI lessons, FAQs, Forums and joining various social media SFI groups which are moderated by senior Team Leaders who have years of experience in SFI.

These special groups are a boon to the new affiliates because the response is almost in real time and the guidance has a personal touch and addresses to the specific issue.

There are many factors that contribute to the success of an affiliate in SFI. If asked to filter those down to 'One Thing' that made the difference, it may differ from individual to individual. If I have to single out that factor, it may sound absurd, but nevertheless it is true!

It is the concept of placing a standing order for a product that gives 1500 VPs. It not only ensures the required minimum 1500 VPs for maintaining EA status, but also fulfills the requirement for earning the minimum sales VPs for attaining the Team leader rank!

Being in the initial months in SFI, I could not have been able to continue, leave alone being successful in SFI, but for the Standing Orders that I have placed. And I do believe that those who are successful in SFI could not have been so, without placing a Standing Order.
