I find one of the best tools for helping an affiliate remain in SFI is to tap into their original desires and allow them to talk about their hopes.

There is very little you or I could say that would convince someone to stay for any more than another week or a month at best. People stay or go depending on what is happening in their heads. Their hopes and desires, their thoughts, their resolve are what hold them in place. If things are not happening as they imagined then they will often opt out.

Talk to them honestly about their dreams and ways to make them happen, one-step at a time and stay away from talk of instant riches or money without effort, chances are they are already disillusioned by these empty promises. Share some of your own frustrations and how you overcame them. Use their initial dreams to fire them up again and keep up the contact. Nothing says you care, like sending follow-up emails with points they shared in it.

You will never convince someone to stay, however, you may help them keep their flame alive long enough for a sustainable fire to build.

Good day, Ryan.
I have to say that the thing that has made the greatest difference in my on-going success with SFI, has to be the few dedicated men and women on my team who make the daily effort to log on.

These folk, often in countries much harder to live in than my own, inspire me with their dedication and perseverance. Not only do they contend with social and political issues on a daily basis that would wear down anyone, but for many, English is a second language.

They part of the reason I want to succeed, so that through my example I might give them back hope and some wisdom learnt along the way.

Great question. As a new affiliate one year ago I knew nothing of internet marketing or business and I needed a lot of help. As a sponsor now, one year later I cherish contact with my team.

Thee is no set limit on when or how often to contact your sponsor or co-sponsor. If you need help do not hesitate to contact them as it creates an opportunity every time for us to talk with you and to maybe improve our own knowledge in SFI.

So unlimited contact within reason is what I personally expect from my Affiliates, especially in the first four months of their learning to be a business person. If I don't know then I make the effort to find out. I think your sponsors will love the interaction and challenges you put to them.

I give most of my cards to my PSA and CSA affiliates either who have achieved a significant milestone in their business or who may be going through a rough patch. I tend to send them out 5 at a time so that it can make a real difference.

I also use them to encourage folk in my A2A who are struggling to meet a quota or simply struggling with life. After all SFI is better off when we think not just of ourselves but also of our business partners in other parts of the world.

As a final resort, I add to tips and leave in library books as bookmarks etc. While nothing has come of these yet, the ones I send to my PSA, CSA, and A2a have heaped plenty of rewards for the recipients and me.

Adam, I have started using a layered approach.

Day one I introduce myself by sending the default letter from SFI welcoming them.

On day three I send the following;
Follow these steps.
1. Sign in to your homepage.
2. Go to the bottom right of the page and select your language if it is present. The page will appear in the chosen language.

Next
1. At the top right is a box called, SFI Basics, read this. It will help you understand how to multiply your business.
2. Next to this is a green box called, Launchpad, this is all your training information to get you started in the business. One lesson per day with a question to complete underneath. This is important training information and earns you points as well.

Daily
1. On your front page is a series of boxes, Alerts, To-do, Tips, Stream etc. Select each one and read through the page. Then click the message at the bottom highlighted in blue. This gives you one credit, now do the same along the line.
2. Now go back to the TODO tab and read through it carefully. There are a lot of tasks here that will earn you points on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Follow the instructions on each one.
3. On the same page there is a list of links to articles of interest. Read each one then click the star on the page for more points.

Follow these steps every day and you will soon grasp the concepts in the business and be ready to move onto the next stage of building your business.

This is not a get rich quick business. You will have to work the business program, however, in my own experience you get back what you put in. Let me know when you are ready to move forward and I will send you a group of links that I use each month.

0n day five.
I send out a group of 5 links and an explanation of why I think they are important and how they have helped me build my business. Hopefully all this is building on their knowledge base as they begin the process of working through Launchpad and building their dream business.

I do not believe there is one clear answer that will suit everyone here.

When buying in Affiliates through a co-op or other means you may access a larger proportion of people that will choose to sign up and do nothing. As your only connection with them is an email, there is no guarantee that they read, answer or acknowledge you at all. But then that is human nature. The beauty of this style though is that you are able to reach a wider audience and you will secure a few that are serious along the way.

By looking at only bringing on that you personally have sponsored you have greater control over who comes in and have the advantage of knowing each person and how you might best inspire them. While this is ideal it may take time to gain your goals and you must be prepared to accept rejection from those closest without it affecting your personal relationships.

The best option, I believe, is a mixture of both. Bring in what you can personally and use the resources made available in SFI to enhance your business. Either way you will learn as you go and find your own strengths to pass on to others.

The best advice I got from my up line was a few simple words, "don't push it, when the time is right it will flow."

He was right of course. As I tried to move things forward at my pace, I became bogged down with questions and requests for help that I did not know how to deal with.

So I stopped pushing and relaxed the need to get rich by the next week. Sure enough, my understanding increased and my empathy for my business, my team, and myself began to rise.

Today I am in not so much of a rush to get rich as I am to get to know all the wonderful people supporting me in my and their vision for a better future.

I think day 11 is when it started to make sense for me. I could see that real people were making real money over time. I still had my doubts but I was at least sure that it was not a fly by night scheme. All the lessons were valuable but this one was very human.

I have found that four simple rules are helpful, the last being very important.

1: Look back on previous auctions. Watch for patterns within the time zones.
2: Decide what it is that you want to buy, don't bid just for the sake of it.
3: Set a budget, make sure you have the T credits to go all the way and don't auto bid.
4: Remember the prices rises by 1 cent, but your T credits cost you a lot more each.

It is easy to get excited and enter a bidding frenzy and before you know it, your tokens are gone. Tokens that at the least may have cost you 29 cents each. So be careful and choose wisely.

I believe that many people search the internet for that one elusive program that will bring them instant happiness, just as the e-mails promise them.

Unfortunately, many are searching at a time when their finances, self-confidence and motivations are at their lowest ebbs. Hence, they jump in to anything that may hold a promise of relief.
These poor souls seldom go any further than signing up. As the emails come rolling in and they realise that there is no quick fix, they fall away disillusioned and poorer in spirit.

Part of the human condition and I believe part of the instant generation that we have created with movies, adds, and technology that give us everything instantly as if by magic.
