Hi David,
So far, I have seen several members recommend trying to convince them to come back by improving your TeamMails, however, if they have already blocked your emails, this will not be an option. If they have blocked you, you are NOT allowed to contact them by that method at all.
Affiliates have several 'block' options available to them, according to the Block List available to you here: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/BlockList
They can:
- block your private/SFIM messages
- block your group mailings
- block your Stream posts
Perhaps they have blocked your private/SFIM messages and your group mailings, but they may still see your Stream posts, so you could try and make your Stream posts more informative and they may see them if they log in.
You could use your Leadership Page to write articles and set up contests, and post the link on your Stream. It may catch their attention if they are still logging in.
If they have blocked your emails, they are sending quite a strong message of their disinterest, and you may have to accept that you have lost them until THEY decide to re-engage with the SFI program. You should respect their wishes, and I would advise you not to contact them by personal email, because you could anger them, and they may even report you for spamming or illegal use of their email address.
If you are already connected with them on social media - FB, G+, etc. - you may still have a chance of encouraging and re-engaging them by updating your own personal SFI website or blog, and share those posts on your social media. It may get them interested again. However, it is up to them to make that decision and remove the block if they wish to.
An affiliate who does not want to receive your messages blocks you for the possible reasons:
- they do not wish to participate in SFI, but don't know how to opt out
- they don't understand or wish to participate at the moment but may come back
- they are participating but feel they don't want or need your involvement
- they don't feel your mailings are interesting or of benefit to them
You will get some idea of the reasons from the Block Reasons page here: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/BlockReasons
All you can do is to ensure that future mailings are interesting and beneficial to try to keep affiliates who have not blocked you engaged. However, if they have already blocked you, you probably have very little to do with any future decision they make.
You certainly should not harass them by any other means.
I hope this helps explain the limitations once your emails are blocked.
