Hi Florence, Great Question!

I first try to reach them within the first 24 hours of having them assigned to me. If I am successful in reaching them or can see they have been signing in I will maybe send an ecard to share a tip. Or, ask them which road they are wanting to go down: The fast track to EA or the day by day road. Not in a hurry to get to the next step.

Sometimes if I see they are on line I will see if they would want to chat. If no answser then I will leave a small message just making small talk and usually when they come back on line they will leave me a message.

I keep a close watch on my movers. If they did real well in the beginning and did not sign in after a day or so then I might use the personal email to check on them. Other wise, if they are signing in each day I will not bother them until I see a problem. However, I will always send a group message to share whatever and then I know they will be receiving those.

That is what I do and I hope that helps you with your downline.

Good Luck!

Stop worrying about putting them under too much pressure.

Being a business owner means you have to be ready to do the heavy lifting, face challenges, and deal with stress. By coddling your PSA you are not helping them get prepared for owning their own business.

Sure some will leave and say you scared them off but let's face it, out of every 100 PSA 97-99 of them will leave anyhow.

The ones who can't handle the truth, or the challenge ahead, or get overwhelmed too easy fit into the 97% of people who have a hard time achieving any type of success. There is a reason the top 3% of all business owners control so much of the wealth generated and that is because the other 97% have set limitations restricting the amount of challenge, hardship, stress, and time they will afford to the quest.

We can only delay weak prospects from quitting for so long, and it will take massive amounts of our time and energy to hold their hands.

Work with the workers is about selecting those who show aptitude and determination and focusing all our energy on them instead of trying to raise the whole world up and teach them to be something that is not yet in their nature. You can try to motivate and train them but history says the 97% will still be the 97% at the end of the day, and that wont change until they decide to change themselves.

Good thing you only need to find 5 who wont quit because it's hard, it takes too long, or they are overwhelmed. You get those 5 by focusing on finding quality recruits who are ready workers and willing to learn no matter how hard it is.

Don't try to teach the sheep to be wolves, the wolves will find your flock in time.

How can you support?
If you attempt to have your team members who are dissatisfied they will remain dissatisfied until you receive rid of the root of the dissatisfaction, once you carry aside the source of dissatisfaction your people will be subject to your motivation efforts;
1. Financial Support- Documentation of financial backing, backing, funding and just offer to them your great offer without asking too much or working them sour.
2. Time Management Support. – Just send them a simple step of tips for their time management and spend time less
3. Theory Support. – Just send to them ideas and updated SFI news, which is they might be wouldn’t know about
4. Virtual Support. – Just send them your practical skill in theory to sub duplication your own way without face to face and 100% no demanding or turning them off.
5. Team Leader Support. – I am sure you have team leader, which is PSA or CSA, just send them weekly team mail completely regarding simple step to do.
6. Upline Team Support (Communication) – This is to ensure that your upline, downline and you meet up operations toward Teamwork.
7. Contact Support desk for instant, quick tip and estimates
8. Hold your team without asking too much (you have to do like lead by example, show them your good style so they will call back twice that you are not asking too much for sure cause.
9. Beware of your directions - The grounds are simply because the affairs that cause dissatisfaction is different to the things that drive motivation

How you motivate your team member?
-You have to lead by example.
-DO your duplication system.
-Work as a team.
-Communication between Team Leaders.
-Put Your Attitude to altitude and do not demand too much with your downline.
-Just introduce your brilliant tips and ideas by updating News through SFIIM, Post at the stream, Team Mail, Skype and many more.

The reason is simply because the things that cause dissatisfaction are different to the things that drive motivation. When you remove something from the workplace that was causing dissatisfaction your team members will cease to be dissatisfied, though they are unlikely to become motivated until you adopt some motivational techniques.

“A Great Leader always has a great team of their downline”
Good Luck to you all.

Leave the warnings about what will happen if they do not make EA and about loosing their team members to SFI.

Send your weekly mail to them with positive quotes, acknowledgements and tips to them. You have to be positive and optimistic in your communication to them - it is contagious (like a smile). If you persevere they might eventually catch it from you.

If you can afford it - offer them incentives like T-credits or a share in a co-op.

Competitions to encourage them to compete against themselves as well as each other.

Be open and available to them and react to their mails as soon as humanly possible.

Keep your eyes open for opportunities to send an e-card or a personal mail.

It is the small things that count. If your team knows and feels that you take a personal interest in them they are more likely to react positively.

Never lie to them or make false promises you can't keep.

The best way to do that is to recognize your team members as independent and separate business persons who happen to be your business partners. Show them that you are all in the business for the fun and to make money. Invite them to come along with you for a joyous and profitable ride. To buttress and reaffirm these ideals, I recommend you do the following:

1. Show decent respect for your team members as your partners and let that reflect in all your dealings with them.
2. Limit your interactions with them to purely advisory roles.
3. Be warm and courteous in all your communications with them.
4. Give them ample and un-crowded space to run their businesses.
5. Lead by example and encourage them to emulate at will if ok with them.
6. Welcome all your new PSAs with warmth and palpable expectations.
7. Direct them to new expectations and discoveries in the business.
8. Regularly send down the line great motivating tips.
9. Give them great business tips as you come across them.
10. Find regular and credible ways to appreciate the efforts of your team members.
11. Put in place a credible reward system to motivate your team members.
12. Find ways always to work with your team members and not on them.
13. Emphasize to them the benefits of continuous and sustained training in SFI business.
14. Encourage honesty and due diligence in working the business.

I believe that if you do the above honestly and consistently, you can support and motivate your team members without demanding too much or turning them off.

Good luck!!!

It might seem difficult to find the right words and the appropriate time to send your support messages and motivate your team members, but doing this effectively actually takes quite a bit of finesse. Choosing the right words, listening with our minds instead of just our ears or what we just read with our eyes, and getting our message across are skills that we all need to work on.

Here are some tips on how you can effectively support and motivate your team members without demanding too much or turning them off:

- Since SFI operates globally, you'll need to construct your messages to your team to be culturally sensitive and aware of the subtle differences in the way people of different nationalities interpret words and gestures.

- Send a message of trust by reassuring that you're committed to their success. Be prompt in attending to their inquiries.

- Let them feel that only them have control over their own SFI business, being a business owner breeds innovation and job satisfaction.

- Be sensitive to their needs by listening to their input. Individual varies so is everyone's needed support. By providing feedback to your team members and listening to them you'll be addressing their needs appropriately.

E-cards are wonderful for communicating on an individual basis.

Some affiliates have trouble with English,some know nothing about marketing, some have never been a part of a social or business community or know how to place ads.

You must learn to sort this out.Worse case is treating a seasoned marketer like a newbie.

My first team letter after the welcome E-Card,asked questions that will give me some clues how to help them.Then it is time for the Here To Help E-card.

Personally I offer more support than pushing them to a goal the first couple of months.

Sugar is sweeter than vinegar.

I like you question it shows that you care about your fellow teammates (down-line PSAs and CSAs). Our down-lines would respond much better when they are truly treated as teammates instead of our source of income.

Motivating your teammates can be a real chore, what you may think is motivating may be looked at as being pushy or demanding. I have found the best way to motivate people is to lead by example.

I know everyone will tell you to motivate others by being an example for your teammates to follow. That is true if it is done right. You don’t need to brag on the badges you have received because those hang out in the open for all to look at.

Do not flaunt your accomplishments in your teammate’s face with the “see what you can have if you do as I do” attitude.

“He who blows his horn in public just makes a big noise. He who blows his horn in privet edifies himself” (old proverb – unknown).

The best motivation that I know to share is Third party testimonies, share success stories that are written by someone other than you. Share what others are saying about SFI you can find listings here: https://www.sfimg.com/saying.html

Another place to locate good testimonies and the likes is to log in to the Forum and click on “board index” scroll down to Inspiration/Testimonials there you will find over 90 pages of motivating and inspirational messages. Copy and send to your down-line in your weekly newsletter to your team. (Make sure you include the name of the author to give credit where credit is due, also include the link to the forum post so your teammates can read it for themselves.

As to supporting your teammates that is best done when they are asking you questions. If you are giving advice when none is asked for then it can be looked at as being pushy. If you can see that one of your teammates is having trouble you can “ask” if they would like some assistance.

There is one part in your question that strikes a nerve in a bad way. You state: “without demanding too much.” Demanding anything at all is too much. Never demand anything – always use suggestions to guide your teammate in the right direction.

In SFI and TripleClicks we do most of our communication to our teammates through the words that we are typing. Before sending the note or letter re-read what you have written with the mindset that the recipient would use. If it sounds up-lifting and encouraging then send it – if not then re-write it.

You have a very appropriate question, because if you observed one of our culture here at SFI is flexibility and we do things without demands and coercion.

We want to do things enjoyable as possible and at our own pace. Over enthusiasm can irritate our team members.

So, here is what I do in supporting and motivating my Team without demands.

1. I aimed to become friends to them - so aside from my "how to's and techniques" that I shared I also chat and send them personal messages.

2. I explain clearly the sources of possible income here at SFI and their corresponding success factors. And I let them choose what they like and at their pace.

3. I only send them quality messages - I deal with strategies and not mere on the facts that are already stated inside SFI-TripleClicks Websites. I do not send them more than 2 messages a week.

4. I always communicate to them that I am available anytime they have question. I study hard so that when they ask I know the correct answer.
