Well this is a matter that needs immediate attention. Some Affiliates both PSAs and CSAs become very active and are Fast Track and obtain the maximum VPs within the first two days with more than 1,000VP.They then realise that scoring action points within the first month is very easy to become an EA. The Sponsor then notes slow progress after that or no login at all. The Sponsor while sending an encouraging letter inquires for the delays in login Then by an email they ask the Sponsor about maintaining

Personal limitations and roadblocks are an important facet of any affiliate at SFI. In order to conquer such adversities one has to ensure that it will not adversely affect one's hopes to be successful at SFI.
For this purpose self determination and endurance are very important qualities an affiliate should develop with ' a healthy mind in a healthy body' to achieve success.

There is absolutely no guarantee in posting one's native language in the MY Country or MYregion in the forum help build SFI business. Though I am from Sri Lanka and speak my native language in Sinhalese, I am more ameable to read the English version. The problem is that some who enroll themselves as Affiliates are not informed of the readable matter in English. Actually there should be some method of informing affiliates who join of such details. They are attracted to the mention of FREE which

Affiliates who join SFI could be young or old of different vintages. When a CSA or PSA is assigned to a Sponsor or Co Sponsor, he or she does not know how far their chit chats, emails ,Team mails , e-cards, welcome letters etc:- will be acceptable to the relevant affiliate. So the Sponsor or Co Sponsor will try their very best to encourage and lift up the spirits of the affiliate. However his or her efforts could be negated if the receiver at the other end feels that they are not interested in

Buying PSAs is a very remote possibility for an affiliate to succeed.I have been at SFI for 15 months and have noted spending money to purchase directly or through membership in Co op is not at all a success. I had more than 100 PSA s and now there is only one who clicks in and off at different times, and never became an EA. I too could not form a team.Itis frustrating. We just spend money and obtain inactive PSA s most of whom do not click even for one day.
So buying PSA s is a fallacy

Senior Citizens are persons who have retired from active service. A good strategy for attracting senior citizens to SFI is to be frank in your invitations to them. We should realize that these persons may be receiving a small pension. Hence we should be honest and tell them that they need to invest some money to reap results later on.If they could afford a Standing Order to purchase 125 TripleCredits that could be the start. they could use TCs to play Eager Zebra Games and take part in Build and

An affiliate logs in after a long period of inactivity. Should I acknowledge this? And if so, what should I say?

Inactivity of some affiliates is a perennial problem faced by Sponsors and Co Sponsors. Undoughtedly we need to acknowledge and accept such a person. The relevant affiliate may have been inactive due to valid personal problems or else it could have been due to laziness to login.
So we need to diplomatically question the affiliate the reasons for the inactivity, and once again accept the affiliate despite whatever reasons that will be given and once again encourage the affiliate the benefits

In order to maintain or boost the momentum in the group it is very important to ensure that the PSAs and CSAs are made aware of their responsibility to be their own boss in making decisions, as they have all come with the intention to receive a second income and ensure a better standard of living.
As the sponsor or Co-Sponsor the group should be encouraged to read SFI Basics, Rules for success and the 30 lessons in the Launchpad. The weekly Team mails and stream messages should convey the importance

Why it is difficult to convince your PSAs and CSAs to work the business despite all its advantages?

It is very important for us to analyse the reasons pertaining to the difficulty to convince PSAs and CSAs to work the business despite all its advantages.
When the Sponsor or Co-Sponsor is informed immediately the welcome letter is sent along with a welcome and encouraging e-card.It may be noted with regret that there is no response at all from most of them. Zero logging is normal from most of them. Some become Fast Track Members by logging 500VP and then fade away permanently.

Can I be successful in SFI without investing any money? And if so, how?

It is an impossible task to be successful in SFI without investing money. The problem areas are to have a standing order for $36.25 monthly to obtain 1500 VPs . Then the second home CSAs that are given in recognition of the Standing Order are nearly 99% inactive.
So the alternative manner to be successful without investing money is for SFI to select affiliates properly, and give gift cards as an incentive.
