Determine what your team affiliate is able to do in addition to on line networking. This will determine the way you motivate him or her.

SFI gives so many different tools to make the most of the business. Are they able to promote with use of printed materials...then share ideas about how to distribute flyers and other printed materials to others locally. Are they good at networking in person when in large gatherings...If so, share ideas on how to open discussions with others about SFI

Mohammed,

This is a thought provoking question, I am glad that you asked it. I think that I would try and encourage the affiliate with limited internet access to focus on direct mail marketing and print advertising initially.

If limited internet access is due to no computer I would encourage them to use a smart phone or tablet if they have that available to them ... or use the local library. If it is due to lack of internet availability that is even more challenging.

I will try to answer from my point of view. I had very limited internet access myself, for a long time.

My sponsor could not understand. Now, I have the affiliates with the same problem.

Who wants to work, to learn, to succeed, she/he will find the way.

Your job is to send an email like "I see you are trying hard, remember I am here to help. If you have any question, ask, I will send the solution, you can read and finish your work when online"

There are many areas, in the world, where internet access is not available 24 hours/7 days a week, or it may not be fully reliable. As SFI continues to grow worldwide and to innovate in diversified business segments and industries, such as the expansion of the Eager Zebra games, as sponsors, we are likely to have more team members in a situation of limited internet access. For example, soccer players and fans are all over the world. They are prime target prospects for FIFA EU.

This is an unavoidable challenge that is not insurmountable considering the fact that SFI is a global business and internet access is not evenly distributed globally. One therefore need to be prepared whenever this limitations crops up from any part of the world.

The first method I use with my affiliates who're facing this challenge is to introduce them to cybercafes nearest to them where they could buy airtime for an hour to do their business. Although it calls for additional expense

It depends on what's considered to be limited access.

If this is the problem of the Internet at home, then you can use a number of public WiFi access in the department stores, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, hotels, public city hotspot and etc.

If this is the problem because of the a limited time of the Internet access because of work, on official bussiness needs, personal private needs and the like. then you need a more rational allocation of time and rational planning time

That is a very good question. And, very challenging. How can we do that?

What we can do, is keep in contact with them with email. By phone, if they do have one. Find out if they have WhatsApp, and, if they do you are home free.

Then again you have email. Send as much information possible to their email address.

WhatsApp, it is free in most countries. Give them tips by WhatsApp, motivate them that way.

You send enough information, that when they do get

Hello!

Very interesting question.

I have always considered the following:

“It is right on the difficulties the real entrepreneurs are born”.

If access limitation has to do with the effective use of the internet time or poor services, you can consider the following:
