Hi all! I have a few PSAs that I want to have a chat with about why they are considering dropping SFI. I spoke with one already and found her answer a bit shocking She stated that SFI is getting a bit overwhelming for her After four months, it's just now getting overwhelming??
For me, overwhelming was my first & second month. Now at near 5 months into it, I'm finally getting comfortable. She didn't come out and say it but I think it was the change in ASK GC that she's having trouble with. I tried to encourage to hang in for a while longer as my TEAM February Co-Op is just now starting to produce, and she's in it. So we'll see, the final decision is hers after all.
I would like to add that everyone is not a visual learner and the amount of print on a page is very overwhelming many people are auditory learners. Have you ever considered having some of the lessons done up in audio? Audio would also help those people that just don't like to read or want to.
"But it clutters up my Genealogy!" some say. Other say it wastes their time "badgering" new affiliates who don't do anything. First of all, there's no need to badger anyone, and if you can't stand seeing inactive people in your Genealogy, just choose to view the condensed version (link located top center at your Genealogy), which omits all who haven't logged in in the last 90 days. But ignore all these supposedly inactive people at your own peril! Some of our biggest, highest-earning affiliates took MONTHS before deciding to become active with SFI.
What convinced them? For many, it was upline members who continued to send them weekly SFI newsletters, etc. And remember that when you're using tools like the PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, or Genealogy Group Mailer, it takes just as much effort to send a newsletter to one person as it does to a thousand. So send your newsletter to ALL of your group--yes, even those "horrible" inactive people.
But don't be surprised when some percentage of those formerly inactive people suddenly come to life because of that constant and regular flow of communication you initiated! Failure is the path of least persistence! Don't give up on people just because their timing may be different than yours. Be persistent. That's how you win in life and it's how you win in SFI too.
And, of course, SFI has been refining for more than a decade its follow-up system for new affiliates. In other words, even if you don't do anything with the people that are signing up under you, SFI's powerful system continues to communicate with your new affiliates through a variety of newsletters and other emails. Do you REALLY not want to let this powerful and proven system go to work for you--just because your Genealogy has a few extra names in it?
Succes!
