Tell him first, with great enthusiasm, to look at the big picture. When you start out in business - say a brick and mortar store - you didn't begin the store with the idea in mind that tomorrow you were going to be rich. You knew at the outset all the work, investment, hours you would be putting into your business to make it a success.

That is what he's looking at here. A lot of hard work - all he can give - is what is required to get a business off the ground. Yes, he's putting a lot into it but he has to let it grow, mature, become something.

In the case of SFI, he is not alone. He has so many avenues of help available to him. Ask him to look forward, down the road, what can he see? Where does he want his business to be? Only he can answer that and it is all determined by what he puts into it in the beginning.

Offer your help and give your support. Do not ignore.

Before you give your help, get to know him/her well enough to determine what and how much he is putting in. Show you care.

What is the complaint, is it about money, time or acquiring knowledge?, for example:
-Is he/she putting in to much time at SFI
-Is he/she investing too much money
-Is he/she spending to much time acquiring knowledge

Give the help relevant to the reason for the complaint.

If he /she is not getting rich quick enough, share your knowledge about SFI. Remind him/her that it is not a 'Get Rich' opportunity, it is a real business requiring real investment and time to grow.

If the affiliate is a hard worker with a team of his own, showing him the benefits and compensation plan may encourage him. Try to motivate him. if you are not rewarding him for his hard work, do so now.

Good day David,

Indeed its a very nice question and based on my experience, I do hope I would be of help.

As it is, people sign up for various reasons mainly to earn quick money overnight. We are all aware of how network marketing works and we also know that for every business owner, he doesn't start recoding a profit until 6 months to a year before he can count his profits. Likewise, that is how SFI business is.

As a good sponsor to our PSAs, PSAs who complain that they are not gerting the desired results, or they are not getting the return on their investment, would need to change the mode of their advertisement, and exploit other areas of making money without spending much money.

Areas I normally advise my PSA are through SFIPPA where the individual you refer if active for 3 months you receive a bounty of $10. With that income, you can use it for purchases on tripleclicks.

Another area is through referrals of ECAs products. Once you refer a potential customer and he makes payment, you would be paid a commission.

Another area is through listing of unwanted items in your home. Once you list the item on tripleclicks and a customer makes payment, SFI wiil retain a norminal fee and the balance is funded in your tripleclicks account.

We as sponsors are always there to encourage our PSAs so that they don't loose forcus and quit.

SFI has really given each affilate the opportunity to earn money (6 different ways of making a residual income) as such, we need to tap into the wealth of resources available on the website.

In summary David, I strongly believe that if you try any of the points above, there would be an improvement and your PSA would be motivated.

All the best.

I would see, first, what exactly your team member is "putting into it".

Once you have this, you can walk your team member thru what your suggestions are to have a better experience from his work.

This could also be a situation where your team member is thinking that they will hit the jack pot over night. If this is the case, remind your team member that this is not a get rich quick scheme. This is a legitimate work at home business. Building a business will take time to see the fruit of labors.

It is very important to try to really understand his/her perspective. This is THEIR Business that they are questioning. They have concerns, and they are legitimate.

Find out their concerns and ask them to list them. Answer them one by one, but don't use a sales pitch that is just canned pep talk. "winners never quit, and quitters never win!" is NOT an answer to their concern!

Quotes and pep talks have their place, but a person trying to justify continuing is not going to be motivated to keep investing time and money based on a quote. They need idea's!

Just by showing them you understand their situation by acknowledging their concerns, you put them in a place to listen to idea's and possibilities.

Hi

I would let the affiliate know that you are interested in his/her concern. (first and foremost) I would also tell the affiliate not to become discouraged. Remind them that this is a business and as such, you will probably invest more than you will get out of it in the beginning. Tell them that they are not the only ones, but patience is a virtue. Keep working at it and to keep in mind this is not a fly by night job. If he/she can stick with, work very hard at it. they will come out on top. Remind them too, that it is not mandatory that financial investments be made. Time and effort are VERY impotant investments as well. Hope this helps you out.

Have a wonderful day !

Ask him whether he tried all options for income. Show him the Compensation Plan which lists all possible income streams of SFI.
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

Offer him becoming a TripleClicks member, which adds some other possibilities of earning money. He may open his own ECA shop, can participate in PB Auctions for really valuable goods or Gift Certificates, etc.

What fits someone may not fit others. Everyone should find the most appropriate income source for himself, and focus on that area.

The first most important thing is that you should not get affected adversely by such questions of your affiliates because these questions may some times demoralise anybody. Now comes the part of dealing with such question being raised by your affiliate. You should ask him to have faith and keep on doing the basics of this business without much worrying about the results. The timing of success might be different for different people but what is more important is that if you are doing what successful people do and simply follow them, you are bound to get success. There could be no other result for sure.
While communicating with your affiliates who give you such tough questions, always bear in mind, you are not here to convince others. People would come and people would go, some would come for reasons and some would come for seasons. It is for you to decide whether you want to stay with SFI and reap the fruits of success? The best way to convince your affiliates is to convince yourself first and lead them by setting examples.
Regards.

Hello!

Almost everyone complains that he/she doesn't get as much out of SFI as he/she puts in it. But this is a lie, because results come with permanent actions. If someone makes more sales, he earns money, if not, he does not and the same goes about team building. Well, to the affiliate that is complaining, remind that SFI is not get quick rich scheme and he/she can tries the lottery. All the keys about earning and success is in Hard and Daily work. I am in SFI from few years and I barely make money to pay my SO, but I put everyday energy and time in the business. That is what you should appoint to your affiliate. He/she should work daily and tries different ways until getting confident and get results with what he/she is doing. Of course, you put more in SFI business, then get in the beginning. But in every business you need to brand and have reputation. Only this way people will join you. Everything is about attitude, responsibility and trust building.

First, you have to find out what what they are looking to get out of SFI.

It is important to understand that this is a job that encourages advertising, marketing is key.

Encourage the person to take a new approach in advertising on the Web and with other sorces.

It is important to grasp the idea that the significant part of success is not so much about the quantity of time and effort you use, but the intelligent ways in which you approach the business with your time and energy.
