Great question, Carl!
I'll answer this like any other, personally.
Your question is how do you get your affiliates to become serious business builders in SFI.
(I'm laughing, so read this with levity.) You have nothing to do with how serious they are when they sign up. (done laughing now.)
In all seriousness, and with due respect to your question, you and I have NO CLUE where an affiliate is in life. Until they speak what they feel, we can only guess. They may well have come in and signed up to get the $2.00 promised them at the PPC (Pay Per Click) association they "work" at. Your new affiliate might be someone like myself whom is truly looking for serious reputable income online, or they might just be earning pennies on the dollar, clicking and joining to make a fast five bucks. You cannot know this until they speak their feelings and intentions.
SFI training is very clear about this situation. Work with the workers. Lead the Leaders. DUPLICATION.
Step back and watch. You go on about being the true leader YOU are, do the SFI Basics, communicate with your team using the Stream, or group emails. Never stop watching. When someone gets close to being an EA (Executive Affiliate), but stop shy by 200-300 VersaPoints, and you can see by their VP report that they have not taken advantage of the daily To-Do List, then send out a GROUP newsletter teaching daily To-Do item check off.
Trust me, Carl, your future Platinum Leaders will show up loud and clear. Some will, some won't. So what?!? Who's next!! Someone will show up. Those that will, AND show up, well, then, THOSE you Lead!! Point the way, support them all, point the way, and your leaders will show up.
It's all in the numbers. If you keep bringing the SFI possibility out to the masses, your leader will show up. Nothing you can do one way or the other will change the sorting that occurs when the playing field is leveled. As is in life, both personally and professionally, the leaders show up. Given 500 in mass, you will have maybe 15-25 that will no doubt sort themselves to be outstanding individuals. They can no more stop themselves from leading than you can. Likewise with the general mass that follows. Some lead, some wait to see how it goes for the leaders before they dare bare a toe to the current of the river. So what? Get the possibility out there, and you will catch the one whom is hungry for his or her answer to the very serious factor of SFI, their individual WHY they see SFI as an answer to the trouble they may be facing in life.
You may wake a sleeper. Never give up on the no-show. Read when they submit their commitment letter to you. Address that on an individual basis. If they understand that you read about them personally and show that you support and believe in them, even after months of inactivity, you may just be the breath of life they were starved for, the small flame that ignites their passion, their fire, their chance to see the possibility in SFI for themselves.
Along the way, Carl, be the man. Be the leader they can look up to and respect. Show them by DOING and BEING the one that has walked the path and done the small steps. There is no doubt this will bring you to the success that they are looking to achieve for themselves.
If you do all the above, yes indeedy, I will look to see you at the top!! Much success to you!!
