There is nothing that you can do with PSAs that do not want to recruit affiliates or engage. People like to do business with people they know and trust. If your PSA is disengaged it simply means that they don't believe in SFI, you, or possibly themselves.

May I suggest that you welcome your PSAs within the first 24 hours of signing and affirm their decision to join your team. Assure them that you are there to help them reach their goals and that your agenda is to work with them if they will allow you to. Set the expectation early on by saying that you will help them with their journey toward success. Let them know that there is never a purchase requirement and you can choose to operate your business 100% free.

Tell them that you are their first source of information for all things SFI and you will do your very best to answer any of their questions. Give your personal testimonial and refer them to the getting started video.

Otherwise, this PSA will eventually find that SFI is not right for them and that's okay. They will be be purged as an affiliate but remain a TripleClicks member for life. Maybe in time you will earn from their future purchases as SFIMG follows up with all of TripleClicks members.

Admittedly, recruiting and duplication is a must to have a successful business. But perhaps you should understand your PSA first. What is his or her reason for joining SFI? Maybe sales is his/her forte? Then you can teach him/her to promote TripleClicks and get commissions through PRMs.

Or are they business owners with a store? Then promote the ECA programme to them. That might be the advert that caught their eyes in the first place.

Or maybe you PSA is the shy kind? Is not comfortable with talking to people. Then you can explain that there are more ways to recruit than face to face marketing.

Your PSA can be sucessful without a team. But it would take a lot more effort on his/her part to maintain that successfulness. A team is what makes a compounding effect. Small effort, big rewards.

I would say, understand your PSA first. Discuss goals, objective, dreams, etc.

Whatever you do, do not give up and do not make the affiliate feel uncomfortable about what he is doing. Just keep on gently encouraging him. Include him in all your postings and messages explaining why we need to keep on recruiting affiliates, what duplication is and it great benefits.

You do not want him feeling pressured but you do want him to fully understand why these activities are beneficial. He needs to realise that for his business to grow he needs to recruit affiliates and engage in duplication. He needs to come to that conclusion himself, with your gently guidance of course.

I have a CSA who just uses TripleClicks to buy bulk a certain food product she likes. She does this every second month - reaching EA and thats it. I am still working on her.

Keep on encouraging your PSAs - Good Luck.

Hi Bob,

I am sure a lot of the people joining are not wanting to find people to bring into SFI. When they join they have no clue what they are joining and when it is sharing the business with others this makes them very shy and they start to back off.

When members join they either have the get up and go or they need to be pushed. I try to work with the first bunch because I know I can relate to them more. They get the whole picture of the business and the different ways to earn a commission. If you have to do their work for them that is very hard. I will devote my time to help them but if I see they are not signing in each day or not doing their tabs then I start backing off. I will give a 100% to my downline so long as I feel they are doing the same.

You will know which ones will recruit and which ones won't. Also, when a member of my downline becomes an EA I make a big deal about it because now this means they need to support their downline. And, I share how important it is to help them get off to a good start. When you share with your EA the responsibilities that they have they now realize they also have people depending on them.

I also from day one make sure to share with my downline to save all my emails so when they become an EA and they do not have the answer just maybe one of my emails does have the answer for them. And, of course, I mention to send me an email if they need my help.

Hope this helps!

Definitely, most of the affiliates do not know the importance of building a team: sponsoring or duplication, often most of the affiliates trying or worrying to earn lucrative, residual income from SFI without understanding the concept of the business.
We should being a sponsor of their, educate them how they can earn better with SFI, establish themselves as a successful businessman/ ECA: what are the methods of increasing/creating earning? what are the importance of sponsoring and the mean of duplication? How the ESA can be helpful to increase their income? Everyone want to be a leader, may it be BTL, STL, GTL and PTL without knowing that to be a leader they needs a team: without a team no one can lead, to be awesome leader, you have to be a skilled awesome team.
Logically, we must educate them to be success in SFI or for the residual, leverage income, what is the importance of “sponsoring and duplication”: As much your team will be, such as will be your income, “Duplication= Compensation”. If you sponsor five PSAs, trained and skilled them to be an independent businessman and educate them to do perfect duplication; they become BTL where they need a team to lead and they have to create or build a team. As much the perfect duplication go into your down line as much your status/ rank automatically goes up and leads the earning for you join SFI.
I hope it may help you.
Regards

There may be some reasons that cause PSAs not to recruit or engage in duplication; they do not know how, do not have the resources or/and are here for different reasons, so what you do with each category of these PSAs differ:

1. Those who do not know how should be guided accordingly by encouraging and helping them to the sponsoring methods here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/SponsoringTraining
Apart from these theoretical training materials, guide them also to ECAs and TC direct sales where they can purchases signups without going through the hassles of their own advertising, assuming they can afford it.

2. Some may be interested and even know how to go about sponsoring and duplication but lack the necessary physical, time and financial resource to forge ahead. Those that lack the physical and time resources, need to be encouraged to purchase outright as I mentioned in #1 above, assuming they can afford it, but it becomes extremely difficult if they cannot also afford it financially and there is little you can do in this situation unless you want to be directly helpful by reassigning affiliates to them, assuming they are making efforts.

Those that have problem with only finance may need to be assisted or shown how to advertise for free; free classified sites, face-to-face recruitment, social networks and warm market.

3. The other category are those that are here for reasons other than sponsoring and duplication. Remember that SFI offers various ways to earn; TC sales, ECA, member listing, PPA and Pricebender. As you can see they may be comfortable with any or a combination of these other income generating activities.

However, you may still make efforts to extend their portfolio of interests just by highlighting the benefits of sponsoring and duplication. Let them know about direct commission, VP match, TC executive pool and leverage income. Also let them know that it is more advantageous to spread their risks and/or increase their earnings potential by extending their current interest to include sponsoring and duplication.

The best thing you can do for affiliates who do not want to recruit/duplicate other affiliates is continue to send them your weekly newsletters, team mails, etc.

You cannot force people in SFI to do that which they do not care to do, it's not our way! Rather, encourage them to fish for Personally Recruited Members to TripleClicks.

They can buy advertising for PRMs, post flyers, other things that will not involve face-to-face work, but they - and you - can grow a team of sorts, use their TConnect for garage sales, encourage auction bidders, game players, and sell TCredit packs to bidders and game players.

Always a way when you take the time to look for it, sometimes through alternate pathways!!:))...

SFI core concept is based on duplication, consistently sponsoring affiliates in order to become successful in venturing this business. Before deciding to take action on what you should do with your PSAs who don't engage in duplication, make sure that you establish the facts about their activities and behaviour in venturing their SFI business. If you make a hasty conclusion about them, it would hamper the growth of your SFI business.

Make use of the Genealogy to find out more about your PSAs, whether they are active, building and expanding their network, just logging in from time to time or being inactive. You can communicate with them accordingly to find out more about their situation. There are common reasons why an affiliate is not making significant progress or just slowly progressing or not progressing at all in his/her team building. He/she could be facing obstacles such as: personal problems, financial and slow Internet connection to name a few. Ensuring these facts can impact the overall growth of your SFI business.

What you should do after establishing the facts about your PSAs who don't want to engage in duplication:

- Remind them about the foundation of venturing SFI. Reviewing the SFI BASICS will help them to focus on which SFI is founded. It could be that your PSAs are not yet clearly understanding this important concept to become successful in SFI.

- Explain to them the Compensation Plan and the Benefits Chart. Sending them messages in clear and easy-to-understand format by providing examples as necessary will clear up some of their questions.

- Emphasize to them that they need to consistently sponsor new affiliates to start building their network and therefore take advantage of the many benefits for taking this action such as maximizing their income through VersaPoints Matching, Direct Commissions and so on.

- By all means don't ever give up on them because of their current situation of not making progress in sponsoring affiliates. You'll never know, they might become the most valuable team members in your SFI organization.

Hi Bob,

I'd tell them it's okay - there are other possibilities to earn with SFI that may suit them better, but they shouldn't write of sponsoring completely since it is the best way to earn money even with several years to come.

When getting started, most PSAs don't have confidence in getting sign ups or even less becoming a good Teamleader. Also most have to make sure first that SFI is not a scam and only benefits them. Both are reasons for us sponsors to guide them the best we can and also to find out how we can help each individual PSA to start their own journey here.

So what to do to challenge that feared wall. First, tell them how they can earn besides sponsoring and duplication:
- get customers to TripleClicks (= PRM):
by advertising TC features, favorite products or whole shops;
they will earn lifetime commissions from purchases of all invited PRMs
- get sellers to TripleClicks (= ECA):
by advertising TripleClicks as marketplace with free listings and free global advertisement by affiliates;
earning lifetime comissions from all sales of this ECA
- open an own shop at TripleClicks: offer legal products and services
(- PPA: if they someday do want to try recruiting for training, but still are not sure about sponsoring)

Help them in learning about advertising methods and possibilities and teach them about transfer buying. Also, absolutely do tell them to still do their dailies the best they can. This has three reasons:
1. Your PSA can get even more input and ideas on marketing or selling through his daily activity
2. An affiliate needs to reach EA status at least once within 6 months or he forfeits his commissions
3. The goodie for the sponsor: you get 100 bonus action VP for each EA2 (affiliate with consecutive EA status)

Since each kind of advertising also does need some good background information of the involved companies, advice your PSAs to still work through the accumulated knowledge base of SFI. They may use their own pace to go through all the information, there is no need to rush it before they aren't confident that SFI really works. But once they are confident, they might only need a little reminder of the opportunity "sponsoring".

Another factor for some affiliates is the time spend on SFI.
While most marketing can be done in just a few hours a week, real sponsoring can take up much more time. A lot of affiliates join up online business opportunities not only because of being able to work from home, but also because of the opportunity of more free time.
Here, you can advice them to concentrate on warm and local market for sponsoring, this way they can meet up with family and friends like usually while helping them to build up their business. Compared to timing your talks with nonlocal PSAs that you cant't meet personally and might live in different timezones, you can take advantage of your own daily routine and even share the newest idea fresh and fast without having to invest that much extra time.

All in all, you could say, SFI offers the opportunities and we sponsors light up the different paths for our PSAs to use those. It is just a question of what the affiliate wants to do.

I would let them know that they are missing out on a very lucrative component of their business. The team-building side of SFI is the powerhouse of creating leveraged and residual income for their future.

I think it is probably not that they don't want to, but more that they are not confident in their team-building skills yet.

From my own experience, I think you can be cautious about recruiting people who you know, until you are absolutely certain that the business works. You don't want to 'get the blame' if it doesn't work out for family or friends, even though we know that they can't fail unless they quit.

I encourage my team to keep copies of information or emails I send them that they find useful, so they can use them to duplicate.

I also think it is easier to work with people who you don't know personally, but you know they have signed up because they do have an interest in creating an online income, which is why I have found it much easier to recruit via SFI's tools, such as S-Builder and PSAs-To-Go.

If your PSAs have shown commitment to their SFI business in all other areas, apart from the recruitment, perhaps you can start by reassigning one or two affiliates to them, to ease them gently into it and build their confidence.
