The question is quite interesting, and if I may say so, it looks a bit funny though not ridiculous!
What is the substantiation for the above observations?
1.First of all, the Sponsor needs to go in to the details to know what is the investment he/she had made? Is it time, energy or money? If it is time or energy, i would like to say that I have opted for the business and I have to put in the best of my efforts. In order for that if I have to spend time or energy I have to do that without any complaint. It is with my own choice that I opted for the SFI!
The factor of time is needed to be examined from the overall perspective. i.e., For how long did he work and he did not get the result? We have to also go in to the details of what is the target fixed that he /she had not achieved. The deeper we go in, we see the frivolous nature of the question.
Therefore the issue of disproportionate result with reference to the investment made needs to examined, assessed and an objective conclusion needs to be arrived. Basing on this review, the target needs to be re-fixed and the work needs to be done again!
If he /she said they have invested money, how much did he invest? They are as a matter of fact need not invest in SFI, and it is clear on the face of it in the Basics, or other parts such as rules. Why I have invested then & why I am lamenting now that returns are not commensurate with my investment?
I never mean anything bad or odd. We would like to know what are the efforts put in. He/she my quip saying that I was busy from dawn to dusk with different items of work i.e., He was very busy. If being busy is the measure for assessing the outcome, any body can be busy without 'business'!
Thus as may be seen from the above, we will be moving in circles without reaching any tangible conclusion. I am sure, the purpose of my above posers raised is by now comprehended. Unless that is done, it is not simply possible to arrive at any meaningful conclusion!!
2.If I am working for a said purpose/objective in a business or for that matter anything, I have to be prepared to invest reasonable amount of time, money and energy combined with Planning, Organizing things. In spite doing so much of a foot-work, I have to wait for certain amount or time for returns on my Investment. This is what is called Gestation period in terms of commercial parlance. Unless that much amount of time is allowed for things to materialize, I cannot say that I failed or the outcome is not satisfactory etc., Why? 'Cause, I have not allowed sufficient time to see the results manifest before me. Then how I can I say that I am not getting what I have put in. This is far from realistic approach.
3.Most important aspect to be appreciated here is the business in SFI is completely man oriented and not machine oriented. Even with Machine with all necessary inputs at times, we will not be getting the expected outcome. It is rightly said by Management experts that, " of all the elements in a Business environment, it is the Human Element which is the toughest to manage". That being the case, I can not turn back and say simply, I did not get" as much " from SFI. The immediate question is How much.
4. That is the reason why in SFI, time and again we will be asked to
a.'connect with people'.
b.Send weekly mails to all of the Team Members (irrespective of whether he/she is a PSA, CSA,;regular/active or irregular/inactive). Why? Because we do not know when that said individual becomes active.
c. Send a soft, warm Welcome letter at the time of admission and follow it up as per context. These are but only a few points I mentioned above. But there will be umpteen number of reasons to handle the newly joined Affiliate as "GLASS WITH CARE".
What I want to say in conclusion is it is not possible to say things tangibly when we are handling things of indefiniteness
Though I may not call them intangible.For one thing, the reasons are intangible, but the manifestation of outward result is tangible. Because, we see it, we experience it.
