Even though the Affiliate claims he has being putting in efforts and hard work without anything worthwhile; yet it is not an irredeemable situation.
I would tell him that he needs to review what he has been doing in the light of what has been established to work. He needs to take a look at what He's doing that isn't working. Some of the things to review are these:
1. How is he sponsoring? How many Affiliates does he generate in a month? Where are these Affiliates coming from? Are they coming from social media, warm markets, or paid advertisements?
It is very likely that you may not get active Affiliates from people who were not interested in home income opportunity in the first place; who only signed to just "see". He needs to get Affiliates who have showed interest in earning extra income from home.
2. How is he following up on his downline. There is a lot of things to learn in SFI that except there is systematic follow up:Affiliates get confused or overwhelmed. Some don't even know how to start, what to concentrate on, or how the opportunity works. Some Affiliates follow up systematically with autoresponder. Some use the genealogy mails very well. So i would ask him to know if there are flaws in his follow up program.
3. Is he referring TripleClicks members? SFI is built to generate multiple streams of income: so that there would be one or a couple of income streamS working at least. If he has not explored this, he needs to. He could refer using PriceBenders auctions, Eager Zebra games, products and services etc.
4. Has he got himself trained? Did he read the "START", "BASIC" "LAUNCHPAD" and numerous "INTERNET INCOME LESSONS". Does he visits the Forum for Tips, News and Discussions? Has he exploited the resources available at "ASK SC"? If he has not done all these, his hard work or efforts may be misdirected and mean!
Having taken him through all that, I would now try to educate and motivate him about this business. He needs to understand that:
1. SFI is not a race. It is not a "get rich quick scheme". You would not likely make any significant money in the beginning. I would remind him of LaunchPad Lesson 11 .... Overnight success...NOT! I quote "We always say that if you’re not willing to give a business at least a year, don’t even bother getting involved. You must understand: It takes time to get to know all the nuances of a business. It takes time to get to know the products. It takes time to develop a game plan. It takes time to figure out what marketing activities will work best for you. See our six-step plan for reaching the top in SFI."
2. I'll tell to have a business owner mindset. When you set out on a business; it takes sometimes to break even. If you expect instant success in 6 months to one year; it may not come. A business owner works until success comes. It will take time to build a group. It takes time to find good people and teach them what they need to know. Sometimes your best people will give up and drop out. Persistence wins at the end of the day
3. I'll tell him to think long time. Many people get into an SFI with the idea that it's some kind of "easy road to riches". It's not. It takes work. It takes time and dedication. I'll tell him of the explosion that could come over the years in his downline. A time would come that even without doing anything; he has assured monthly income because of his downline. He could go on vacation as he likes because of residual and leveraged income.
I'll recommend to him, the classic book "Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and also "The Magic Of Thinking Big" by David Schwartz.
I'll tell him: If you want to become successful, you can go around the obstacles, go over, go under, or go right through them.
Success is yours if you want it, but ONLY YOU control this. Always remember: "If it's to be, it's up to me." "He that is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else." -Benjamin Franklin. "Don't wait for someone else to make your life terrific. That's your job." -Unknown
I'll tell him, finally, if one person has succeeded in SFI, so CAN HE! Hey Brother or Sister, DON'T EVER QUIT!!!!!
