The reason an affiliate who logs in after a long period of activity could be very different.

No matter what the reason, I would definitely want to contact this affiliate and encourage them to continue with my support. Show you care first.

Assume they are still very interested in SFI. It is more than likely that they are. Talk about all the new positive changes and ways to earn by taking advantage of them. Find out what interests them and what their goals are.

There are so many reasons why affiliates are inactive in SFI, so when an affiliate return to SFI, you should as a matter of urgency welcome them back. It is an answer to your prayers and it also shows that such affiliates have been reading your team mails or something else brought the spark again.

Congratulate him/her and send a welcome E-card. Update the affiliate with the latest news SFI and let them know that it would be in their best interest to remain active henceforth.

You should definitely welcome that affiliate back with joy and surprise!

Just say that you welcome him/her back and offer your assistance when they need it. Explain that there have been many changes since the last time the affiliate logged in. Be patient and help him/hher start at the beginning again, if needed. Just encourage the affiliate to take whatever time is necessary to learn how to use all the new tools here and to get acquainted with the new affiliates who have joined during

Definitely!

You should welcome him or her just like any new affiliate. But remember to thank him or her for coming back, for giving SFI a second chance and with your help, he or she will discover that SFI will be all he or she needs.

Remind him or her that SFI is free. And the various income streams with SFI which he or she can choose to focus on.

Whatever you say, try not to sound like a reprimand for being away for so long. After all the past is the past and you

Hi Ovidio!
You must really, really, really acknowledge that. You must celebrate.
Most people learn the hard way. For your affiliate to come back after a long time, means that something brought him or her back. What brought him/her back will make him/her stay. So that affiliate will be one of your strongest affiliates because he/she learnt his/her lesson.
You just let the bygone be the bygone. You just welcome him/her back and start encouraging and motivating. Help him/her to catch

Yes, really, logging in especially after a long recess is a sign of either having regained motivation or of having resolved some issue(s) that caused a hindrance. You may send a "Welcome" e-card to show that you still welcome him or her. Another "Tips" or "Help" card will also do. Thereafter keep on motivating the affiliate to build their business. In other words, put your Awesome Sponsor skills to use, as outlined in https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor

1. We misplaced a reasonably valuable item within the house-Unable to find it-Suddenly
discovered it after few weeks/months.

2. A close friend left our home town & settled down in another far off place. We lost
the paper he gave before his departure that contained his address, phone number, etc. We traced it back after few weeks/months.

3. A child in a Family kept scoring low marks despite extra

Hi Ovidio
Most definitely you should acknowledge your PSA logging back in.
I'm sure their logging back is due to the fact of all the regular weekly team mail emails that you been sending out on a weekly basis. That's why it is so important to send out team mail every week to ALL down-line members, active or non-active.
So firstly send them a welcome back e-card offering help and assistance. Be there for them giving tips and informing telling them about what they been missing out on

Great Question.
It is always nice to see friends and family that we have not seen or heard from for some time. So, in my opinion, an affiliate who has been inactive for some time, now logging on, would be a joy. It would be my pleasure to welcome back this affiliate and express my appreciation and joy in his/her return to the SFI family. Most human beings like knowing that they were missed and that persons are happy to see them again after a long time. This acknowledgement would let the Affiliate
