What do I say to an affiliate who complains he’s not getting as much out of SFI as he’s putting into it?
You have a great affiliate there! At least he is “putting into it”, almost all affiliates who sign up don’t do anything. So, you have a worker – work with him.
This is what I do: -
1. First I congratulate him for being active and trying. It is important that we always be encouraging.
2. Then I tell him my own thoughts when I first started in SFI. These were:
a. At first I was very skeptical about whether SFI was a real internet business or just a scam (I’d been stung before). But I soon realized it was for real. So – ONE tick to SFI!
b. Then I wondered how I could make money in SFI? I looked at my sponsor, co-sponsor and upline. They were all very active in SFI and featured high up on the VP Leadership Board. Another tick for SFI.
c. Then I studied the Launchpad lessons, especially # Day 11 – Overnight Success … NOT! This lesson gives examples of people who are making great money in SFI. A third tick for SFI.
d. Then I considered the 80,000+ products in TripleClicks. There are a lot of really great products there that I could buy and use in my life. And I can sell any of these and earn a commission. Another tick for SFI!
e. And I can use ALL the FREE training and marketing materials AND receive free support from SFI. Another tick for SFI!
3. Then I tell him my philosophy: -
a. OK – so SFI works. How can I benefit from it?
b. I will commit and see what happens.
c. I will follow the SFI system EACH DAY.
d. I will invest EACH month in SFI what I can afford to. (This varies from month to month – from nothing to $100.00.)
e. As businesses go SFI is the cheapest to get into and provides the most opportunity and potential. (I know I have had my own “bricks and mortar” business.) It doesn’t get any better than SFI!
f. I will STUDY and LEARN everything I can about SFI. (This is ongoing – after two years in SFI I still have much to learn.)
g. I will persevere. If someone else can be successful in SFI then SO CAN I.
h. I WON’T BE DISCOURAGED BY ANYBODY WHO TELLS ME SFI DOESN’T WORK. My family do that but I take no notice.
i. And I don’t expect immediate results – I am taking the long view.
j. I am finding it hard to get paid employment – BUT with SFI I can work when I want and where I want - SFI IS MY FUTURE!
4. After two years what are my results so far?
a. I have two active team members who are committed to SFI and from whom I earn regular commissions
b. For the first time I earned more than I invested in SFI last month.
c. I have built my knowledge and competence in SFI. Just look at my badges and my rankings.
d. I am confident in talking about SFI and in guiding my team.
e. I win a lot a FREE TCredits and other prizes each month.
f. I have a Payoneer Card into which my commissions are paid.
g. I have a ECA which I intend to develop into a vibrant online shop.
h. I have a Co-op which I can use for my own marketing.
i. I am a FORUM guru.
5. And finally I study his SFI profile, activity and his VP ledger and give him very specific advice as to how he can improve and grow his SFI business.
And I advice him that IF HE WANTS TO WORK I will work with him. But it is his business, not mine. Only he can make it work for himself.
And finally I always encourage him to "LET'S DO BUSINESS TOGETHER!"
