Thank you for this timely question because I have often wondered if anyone was reading my weekly communications and if what I wrote was helping them if they took the time to read them.
A few weeks ago I received a very warm note from one affiliate that I am co-sponsoring. She said that my mailings were the only ones that she received from any of her up line that were always encouraging. This made my week because I was getting very discouraged.
Usually I find that positive messages work. If you offer encourement and praise, people tend to respond by working harder but when all you offer is negative messages, not only will they not respond the way that you want by becoming more active, they may stop reading your messages.
If there were important changes that occurred during the week, I include them in my messages because some of the inactive people may read something that will encourage them to take another look at SFI. If there was an important event in the life of one of the team members, you can congratulate them.
I am always honest with my team and if a change occurs that I am not enthuastic about, they know it but I have also make it clear that I am a person who does not like change and more often than not I have learned to like the changes once they are in place and my team knows that too. Some of the biggest changes that initially I disliked have turned out to be extremely helpful to me and I am starting to look forward to the changes. I tell them that I think 2016 is going to be the best year yet for SFI and I want it to be the best year yet for our team. If we work together, it will be!
