Hi Daphne,
I would be ecstatic if more affiliates were interested in doing AT LEAST their Daily To-Do list! The reality is that many do it halfheartedly or not at all. Therefore, I think it is a very positive sign when affiliates log-in regularly to do their Daily To-Do list.
Perhaps they don't do much else because they want to absorb one part of the program before skipping to the next stage; many may feel overwhelmed by so much information and prefer to stick to a simple routine; or maybe they are busy doing other things that have nothing to do with SFI and don't have much time to spare.
No matter what their reason is for only doing their Daily To-Do list, the good news is that they ARE doing it, which means they ARE interested and DO want to learn something new. They are your Movers, even if they don't advance in rank, because they are earning VP each day, which means they absolutely deserve your personal attention.
In order to motivate them to do other activities, first you need to get to know them. Study their Profile to find out why their joined SFI, what their goals and expectations are, and which part of the program is most and least appealing to them. Then establish one-on-one contact and offer specific ways you can help them benefit more from this program.
Even if they do not respond, you should definitely continue to provide tips and information –once or twice a week–, that clearly fit their particular needs. If they DO respond and ask questions, always answer them within 24 hours. That way they will know that you are there to support them and will feel more confident and motivated.
This may sound hopelessly optimistic, but I believe that affiliates who only log-in to do their Daily To-Do list will eventually realize that they are sitting on a potential gold mine. Once that realization sets in, there will be no stopping them, so be sure to show how much you appreciate their efforts, and be there for them when they are ready to take the next step.
