I think this question should read: "How do you prepare your affiliates for his/her first month in the business where he/she doesn't have the mega free VP to get him/her to EA quickly?"

I say this because SFI offers affiliates the opportunity to match their first month's points in their second month. So if an affiliate is able to fast track and get most of the point generating items done in the first month, his/her second month starts out that far ahead.

No on gets that opportunity in his/her third month.

I would send out emails at the end of the first month encouraging new affiliates to look for the matching VP email at the beginning of his/her second month. Then, during the second month, coach on how to acquire new affiliates and how to coach their new referrals.

Nothing worth having is free. That includes an SFI business. You pay with your time, your money, or both. Be sure to be up front with your new affiliates that having a 1500 VP standing order makes sure they can earn their commissions each month.

Make sure that you include ways to make EA without the standing order, too. Encourage logging in and getting the daily, weekly, and monthly VP. Then go into methods of getting new affiliates and TripleClicks members. These are the real gems of this business.

Remember there are going to be people who sign up just to see what it is all about. As long as they are still around, don't give up on them. They may never respond but may suddenly see something that gets them motivated.

Don't make it sound like a bed of roses, but convey that it's possible for anyone!
