In your question, you didn’t specify if the affiliate who is planning to quit is under your leadership. I’m going to base my answer on the premise that you’re his sponsor. This would make more sense. Before you tell something to your affiliate who’s going to quit, maybe it is necessary for you as his Team Leader to have a close look on your leadership role. Maybe in reviewing your goals and visions will lead you to identify what you have been missing in your support to your whole SFI organization.

A situation like this is a common occurrence. You need to have an overview where you’re leading your SFI business and your organization. You might need to review and evaluate in details your support role, marketing strategy, etc, as if you’re using a magnifying glass to ensure that you’re in the right direction as you lead your whole SFI organization. All businesses need to develop a clear approach to generating the sustainable growth and profits that ensure long-term success.

The following questions will help you identify what action to take in regards to your affiliate who’s ready to give up:

- Have you set up a plan strategy for supporting your downline?

- How effective is your plan in regards to supporting your downline?

- How much time is allocated to knowledge base and motivation support to your downline?

After reviewing these questions, you’ll be able to see where you stand and know if you’re in a position to communicate with your affiliate who’s ready to quit. If you are, then offer him a one on one support:

- Conduct an overview of his current and past SFI business operation.

- Inquire if he has business plan and marketing strategy in place.

From the steps above, you’ll be able to formulate a business plan model according to his personality type. This is only the start, you’ll need to continually monitor and evaluate his progress. You may need to update his business plan from time to time.

You can tell him to give it one more try with your full support.
