Good day Natalee, I must let you know that getting new PSAs to be committed
requires wisdom and intelligence. Three things you should look into include:

A. Your approach in introducing the business:
- Tell the truth - avoid words like, get rich quickly e.g make thousands of dollars in two weeks.
- Use selective and well-constructed words.

B. Benefits:
1) Talk to your prospects on the on-going NMP promotion and how it is a timely decision for them as they join SFI now:

- Exclusive Fast-Track Member badge for your home page
- His/her name and photo added to our Fast-Track Wall of Fame
- Exclusive Fast-Track Member Lapel Pin (after three months of Fast-Track qualification)
- Fast-Track Member certificate etc;
- Actual cost is $61.90, but as new TC member they can get it for just $20; saving $41.90.
- Let them know they can take advantage of the offer its just for 10 days after joining SFI.
2) Apart from the NMP benefits, talk to them on what they will enjoy in SFI on a long term membership:
a) Co-sponsored affiliates to strengthen his/her team and help earn more cash rewards;
b) Up to 20 FREE T-credits (worth US$ 39.80) for his/her purchases online at TripleClicks.com;
c) US$ 10 Cash reward in your second month as TEAM LEADER;
d) US$ 50 cash reward he/she can WIN in daily draws for one full year when he/she makes E365 FINALIST;
e) Thousands of dollars in direct commission on sales made through your TripleClicks referral, SFI affiliates etc.
f) If they are a business person, they can bring their business to the world for FREE by becoming E-Commerce Associate (ECA);
g) Let your prospects know they can earn mouth-watering RESIDUAL INCOME for life from this business.


C. Support:
1. Make your PSAs feel welcome to SFI.
2. Let your PSAs know that they will never walk alone; team spirit is strong in SFI.
3. Let them know you are willing to help them grow if he/she joins SFI.
4. Teach them on how to access, read and apply the training materials - Home page > Training menu.
5. Teach them on how to use the FORUM to ask questions about things new to them.
6. Explain the importance of talking to you and other upline members concerning their challenges.
7. Motivate them for their achievements - gift card, PSAs, Tcredits etc.

9. Always open your PSA to new discoveries you have learnt to help him/her grow in the business.

Enjoy your business.

As it's been said, "You can lead a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink."
What you can do, though, is to provide enough good water.

Remember PSA's are adults with their own goals, expectations needs and wants. You cannot make them commit to anything unless they are motivated or because it is what they want to pursue in the first place.

What you can do is to ensure that they have the right tools so they can make an SFI informed decision.

From the start avoid:
Placing ads that are misleading
Placing ads that are hype
Promising them to get rich fast

From Day 1, be sure they know about the getting started actions, the Fast Track, the E365 Challenge and the Launchpads. From day 1 offer your help and be ready to help.

-Be a good sponsor, lead by example.
-Communicate appropriate information that will benefit them.
-Share your knowledge of what you already know, don't keep it to yourself.
-Respond to their questions as soon as possible.
-Give useful links to resources.
-Motivate and encourage their involvement in any way you can
-Use SFI's communication tools to make contact with them.
-Offer incentives or rewards for their accomplishments, show recognition, hold contests,
-Involve active, motivated ones in Co-Op advertising.

*Use your team mails and stream posts to share, motivate and inspire.

I am reminded of the saying: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

People join SFI for many different reasons and the reason why they joined directly affects how active they become. I don't know if there is a good answer that will produce the ideal results because if one existed, we would all be much better off than we are now, but there are a few ideas that come to mind to help your new PSAs.

1. Try to establish a connection beyond the weekly team mail and other team related activities. - Is there a time you can chat or call on the phone?

2. Get to know something personal about your PSA to see if there is something in common. - Even though we are part of an online business, we are real people. The more we get to know about each other, the more comfortable we will feel with being part of the team.

3. Try not to make a sales pitch every time you communicate. - This helps with the first two points because you are reaching out to the person rather than trying to generate activity from your PSA. There is nothing wrong with trying to help your PSAs because as the sponsor, you need to look out for ways to help them succeed, but there are times when you need to get the point across that this is a business where you can get to know your team on a more personal level.

Overall, people want to commit to the places where they feel a connection. Add the personal touch to your team and you could see better results.

As soon as I receive notification that I have a new PSA, I immediately send them a Welcome e-card to congratulate them for taking that 1st very important step by joining SFI and to welcome them to SFI and to my team.

Straight after that I send them a personal e-mail to once again Welcome and congratulate them.
I then introduce myself and explain that I am there sponsor and that my job is to guide, support and help them.
I also tell them a little about myself - like the country I live in, my reason for joining SFI
I also explain to them that SFI offers us all the tools and information we need to build a successful business but it can seem a bit overwhelming when you 1st join but that is why you have a sponsor to help you finding your way.

I invite and encourage them to contact me should they have questions or a problem and I give them my e-mail address

The point I am trying to get across here - I do this with all my PSA's and CSA's but I do not always get the same reaction. Some make full use of having a sponsor and they ask questions, follow instructions and learn as they go.
Unfortunately most of them do their own thing - despite receiving tips e-cards, team mails and personal e-mails and they end up giving up.

You can only do your best and the rest is up to them. You can not force anybody to commit. I think we all have the situation where you have a big team but only a few workers. Do not give up on the silent / inactive ones - send your weekly newsletter to your entire team but concentrate on the "special' ones, your workers and give them
the attention they deserve, acknowledge their efforts and support them to the best of your abilities.

Your question is one that dwells on the minds of every affiliate that is attempting to build their home business with SFI and TripleClicks.

We get excited about the potential that we see and know is possible with our new business and can’t understand why everybody doesn’t jump in there with us. It doesn’t seem logical that anyone would pass up an opportunity like SFI.

As you stated in your question that the ones who are not committing are people who have signed on as affiliates and are your PSAs (Personally Sponsored Affiliates).

First of all we need to understand that most people will not join and commit to a company – but they will join a person and commit to what that person has to offer.

We as sponsors need to make personal contact with our new PSAs as soon as we can and not as someone who is only interested in them getting started with a business. But address them as a new found friend and teammate.

Show interest in them as a person and then business later. Within a couple of days you can confront them with support that you are willing to give to them so they can get started on their new business.

As far as getting them to commit to their new found business I must say that is out of our hands except to be the best example of an excited SFI affiliate that you can possibly be.

Incentives can help but the reality of the thing is the new PSAs must determine on their own whether or not to commit to this business. If you have to convince them to join – then you will have to convince them to purchase then you will have to convince them to sponsor others – then you will find yourself wanting to convince them to get out of the way. Don’t they say, “Lead, Follow or get out of the way?”

I didn’t commit to SFI and TripleClicks until I had been enrolled for six months. I don’t remember what pulled the trigger for me to commit to this business except for the fact that somehow I was able to know without a doubt that I could do this through SFI and TripleClicks.

It is our responsibility to get our new PSAs to this “triggering” point – when that occurs then they will either commit or they will drop out.

Primarily, the very fact they registered means they want to earn.
Therefore I focus on making them understand how the money is earned here.

Then I do my best to point out the transparency and honesty of this program since many have negative experience with previous ones.

I also point out my achievements with the logic why I should waste my time and efforts and spend more than a year here if it did not work.

I tend not to be pushy with e-mails but rather be available to assist when asked.

I explain how investment can assist but I do not insist on it,in order not to send a wrong message. I rather help build their own understanding of Compensation plan.

Praise their success, do not criticize if they do not do as you told them, because it is their job and style after all.

Point them to forum, and posts made by successful individuals.

And try to provide a role model so they can duplicate what you do.

Regards

As many members of SFI will agree, you surely can not 'force' anyone to commit to SFI. We have all experienced the excitement of signing up or receiving new PSA's, hoping that they will become an active team member. Some will, but unfortunately, most will not. You have to take that in stride, don't give up, and keep working and building your team.

First and foremost, be honest with them. Don't overload them with too much information in the beginning. Let them know that building a substantial income with SFI will take time, patience and work on their part. Encourage them to read and learn as much as they can - everyday. As you have read many times, this is not a 'get rich quick' business, and we all know that from our own personal experiences. Be sure that you are available to your PSA's, to help answer any questions that they may have. Give them guidance but be honest with them. If you do not know or have an answer, tell them that, but research the question and get back to them with answers or suggestions - don't "leave them hanging".

Patience is essential and perseverance is critical. A good example is my own story .. I became an affiliate of SFI in November one year - but did not become an 'active' team member until the following February. I'm glad my sponsor did not give up on me.

Thanks for this question.

However, there is no direct and easy answer available to this question till now.

If people treat this SFI business as any other business they will approach it with all seriousness right from signing up. However, in my more than 210 days of experience I notice how difficult it is:

1. To get get sign ups;
2. To get quality sign ups;
3. To sustain;
4. To retain the Team &
5. To ensure returns for every one in the Team.

Unless every one in the team understands the basics and nature of SFI business it will be very hard for the Sponsor or Co-Sponsor to convince any one to remain in the team and carry on with activities regularly.

We can do our very best to:

1. Inspire them by showing our achievements;
2. Encourage them through regular follow ups;
3. Motivate them by offering incentives, gifts, etc when they perform consistently;
4. Support them to expand their team.

All of these should make them work/perform/achieve/lead and expand and earn.

If they signed up with a wrong notion of becoming rich overnight without performing any activities regularly none of the above will ever make them to remain about which You and I, as Sponsor or Co-Sponsor can do nothing.

Generally, people will be worried if they do not see returns, over a reasonable period of time despite their best efforts. In such times, we can help them to minimize their expenses. We should stand by them to have a positive frame of mind. We should make them understand time and again that Patience, Perseverance and Duplication are quite essential to succeed in SFI Business.

Conclusion:

When our intentions are unselfish, true, honest and sincere with lot of passion and commitment for every one's growth and success, I am pretty confident that the Team Members, be it PSAs or CSAs will commit themselves to SFI!!!

First and foremost, the easiest way to have your PSAs commit to SFI is by being fully committed to SFI yourself. If you only log in once or twice a week, aren't active in the forums, don't have a Standing Order of at least 1500 VPs... Why should they? Make sure that you are truly "In it to win it!" if you expect your down line to do the same. There's a reason it is called Duplication.

Next, make sure that your down line knows that you are there for them. Get in contact with them on a regular basis, whether that is through team mail, or the stream feature, etc. Use your Genealogy to your advantage, as well as your Movers tab.

Also, make sure that you don't flood them with information. Whenever you get in contact with them, sure, go ahead and provide them a few tips. But more importantly, ask them what THEY need, or what THEY have more questions on. This way, they see that you are actually physically writing out an email or message to them, and that this isn't some autoresponder or that you are sending out a mass email to dozens of people.

Hope this helps.

Hello Natalee,

SFI is a great business and we all must commit to it to be successful..

Below are few strategies one MUST do to make sure "revolving door" in your SFI business stays tightly locked and to keep your downline active for years and not months.

1. Commit to a friendly service policy. If you truly want to build a solid and profitable SFI business, you need to implement the policy of providing friendly service and follow-up to your downline. Remember, people join SFI because of you, not the product or service. They have belief that you can help them meet their goals and have something beneficial to offer.

2. Follow-up is following-through. Just because someone signs up, does not mean the deal is complete. You must follow-up with your new downline member within one week (max.). Give them a courtesy call within the week to ensure they are happy and trying to understand SFI business. If they want to build the business, call to make certain they are tapping into the resources and getting off to a good start.

3. Staying in contact shows you care. In your prospecting and recruiting efforts, you planted seeds to start the relationship building process. Stay in touch with your downline. An auto-responder is a great tool to use for this. You can send your downline motivational quotes, techniques that you use that are successful, inform them of new resources they can use for their business, etc. Doing this will show you care and value their business. Staying in touch will also provide you with an opportunity to get additional business and to strengthen the relationship.

4. Anticipate the needs of your downline. By staying in contact, you can anticipate or stay ahead of your downline needs. You will strengthen your relationship and will more fully understand their current needs. This ultimately leads to anticipation of future needs. Try to always think ahead. This will help you keep your downline happy and satisfied.

5. Keep a database on members in your network marketing home business downline. As your business grows, it will become impossible to keep all downline information and individual needs in your head. You must create customer files with personal information on your downline. This can include their likes, dislikes, goals, passions, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. You get the idea.

6. Work closely with your downline members and be supportive. No one is guaranteed success. However, you will be amazed at how high of a success rate you will have with those you personally sponsor when you work closely with them and support their efforts. Keep in mind some people will never do what they need to do and you can't change that. But, if you provide support and show you care, you improve the retention of your downline.

7. Create intimacy with your downline. Be genuine in your concern for your members. Show them you are not just in it to get their money. You must go above and beyond to assist people in getting what they want and need. The difference between you and your competition boils down to one thing - customer service. If you provide value through concern for them as a person and deliver quality customer service in every way possible, you will find your members will be there for the long term.

If you want an active and productive downline, keep in mind, the stability of your residual income will be in direct proportion to your personal follow-up and customer service. Make follow-up and customer service your PRIORITY! Your wealth and your downline members depend on it!

Wish you good luck!!
