When an affiliate feels that he or she is getting nowhere in SFI the first thing you should address are their daily habits. Try to find out how much time has the affiliated committed to building a reliable business. Usually you will get these types of complaints from affiliates who have not done very much at all.
It this case, you as a sponsor should set a realistic expectation for these affiliates to look toward. Tell them your own personalized story in short. Tell them what gave you the drive to do more than just log in and collect 11 VP. Many times you can open their eyes to a more realistic view of the business as they may have genuinely had good intentions but didn't understand how to execute them.
Similarly, you want to observe the routine of the affiliate. This can be done by review their profile from the genealogy tool. Click the name link of any affiliate in your downline and you can see a snapshot of how serious they are about the business. Are they recruiting at least 30 affiliates every 30 days? Are they logging in and participating in Pricebender auctions? Are they buying/selling TripleClicks merchandise? All of this and more is available right from the snapshot.
Moreover you can explain to your affiliates that you can provide extra help along the way of progress. Too many affiliates expect their sponsors to just give them a gift certificate or TCredits and this is NOT a given. If you are an over-the-top affiliate, I have NO problem awarding any or all of the above but I am NOT obligated to do this. I promote for all of my EAs and TLs get extra promotion for FREE to reward them for their achievements. We also have co-ops and competitions from time to time so that affiliates can gain momentum sooner rather than later.
Finally, always remind them of the why. Remind them of what SFI offers and ask them to remind themselves of the alternative. If they have a better solution that what SFI offers great. But if not, then they have to invest in the 2 to 5 year plan and serious work at the business. Yes, tell them how long you took to achieve momentum and let them know that if you quit you will not succeed at your SFI goals. They must stay for the duration and work with faith, persistence, and patience to reap the rewards that are certain to come. It is all a matter of time and commitment.
