This would depend on several issues - how long the PSA had been with SFI, what his or her goals are, how successful they have been and more.
I would start by trying to ascertain why they suddenly wanted to switch gears. I would spend some time discussing this with them, either online or on the phone.
If he or she hasn't been making progress with SFI, I would do some analysis of their progress and try and determine why they aren't getting anywhere. Then I would offer some solutions and encourage them to continue for a time using these new ideas to see if they could become more successful and happier.
A lot of time, folks wanting to change their focus is because they have seen online ads that make this type of business sound like something they could do for an hour or two a day for a full time income. Nothing could be further from the truth and I would let this PSA know this.
I would share my own experiences with chasing the 'next shiny object' and let them know that these type of programs don't usually pay much unless the person is willing to pay fees to sign up and spend a lot of time doing nothing but typing and form filling. The pay structure of these type of programs is usually by the piece or project so it is not something you can 'set and forget'.
If this person was determined to go into this type of business, I would encourage him or her to at least log in daily to SFI and do the 'to do' items and keep their SFI account active because chances are they will be back fairly soon when they find out for themselves how labor intensive and actually boring this type of business can be.
I would also keep in touch with the PSA (with their permission) and let them know of all the exciting changes SFI makes on a routine basis. I would try and determine if they are doing well with the 'new' project and let him/her know that the door is always open for their return.
I believe that the chances of keeping the PSA and/or having them return to SFI are fairly high with these approaches.
Hope this helps!
