I joined SFI in April 2013. Or should I say I re-joined.
I joined the first time back in 2006 and I was overwhelmed, I felt lost and noone was contacting me. I decided to just give up.
While surfing I came across SFI again and decided that I was going to get back on board and do whatever it takes to stay active this time around.

So to try and answer your question,
I think that sending messages that offer help and direction are the best way to try and encourage someone to become active again.
If they do become active then it worked.
If they do not then at least you know you tried to help them.
We can continue to try until they opt out, so do not ever give up on someone unless they say they are done and they opt out.

I always mention that the only way to fail is to do nothing. I tell them that I am not going to fail and I will continue on and help whoever I can. I make sure that they know that they are more than welcome to contact me with any questions that they may have and that I will help them find an answer if I do not know the answer to thier question.
By informing them that we are all in this together it makes them feel like part of a big thing.


Send out a message asking them to respond and maybe they will be glad that someone is reaching out to them. If you have already done so, maybe it was not the right time, try again. The best thing to do is to be persistent at keeping in contact with them. Especially when they become active again. Then they will know that you are there to help them and they won't feel overwhelmed or abandoned.

If you are doing great in your journey with SFI, make sure and tell them that you are. They will be motivated by hearing about your success and it may make them jump back in that much sooner. Be a leader and they will follow.

I hope this helps.
Have a great day!
Remember that THE SKY IS THE LIMIT just like they told us in our training!
I am going to be a tree that grows high into the sky and not a blade of grass that gets clipped!
