To get your new sign ups stay engaged with SFI for longer than one day, do the following steps:

- Give them your warmest welcome on their first day. It is the first friendly exchange between you and your new affiliates. It sets the tone for future communications and encourages new affiliates to engage with SFI.

- Their first day of engagement in SFI could be confusing or overwhelming to your new affiliates, make sure to emphasize to them in your welcome message to focus on SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD to get them started right.

- Send a follow up through E card as a starting point in building rapport with your new affiliates. You can take it to the next level by sending your personal messages through emails. Building rapport is no easy task. It requires you to be a great listener (not just a good one). Team Leaders/Sponsors who are listening take good notes, are quick to follow through, and are responsible enough to proactively address their new affiliates immediate needs and requirements to help them on their first day and in getting started right.

- Whenever they’re online, initiate a chat with them. This is one of the most effective ways of making them feel comfortable in their journey with SFI. This would also convey to them that you’re there as their friendly guide.

- Monitor the progress of your new affiliates’ activities using Genealogy/Movers tab, especially on their first week. Make sure to address their issues in performing their To-Do List in your group support messages.

- Offer a one-on-one support right in the beginning of their journey. When you do one-on-one support on their first week, make sure you’ve done your homework by knowing your new affiliate’s status of progress in order to help him/her effectively. Mentioning their journey’s progress no matter how “insignificant” it might seem to be can boost emotions, motivation and perception of his/her SFI journey.

And the more frequently your new affiliates experience that sense of progress, the more likely they are to be creatively productive in the long run. Whether they are trying to solve an obstacle in doing their Getting Started actions or trying to understand the Fast-Track membership, everyday progress—even a small win—can make all the difference in how they feel and perform.

- Getting started is always the hardest part; encourage them by mentioning the Signing Bonus (SB) in your first interaction with your new affiliates. You’ll be able to identify those affiliates qualified for the SB through the SB Balance filter in your Genealogy or filter those who have received SB and the amount of SB they’ve received. This would excite them to stay and become productive with SFI.

Conclusion:

You need to keep in mind that SFI is a network marketing business, which is based on a team building philosophy rather than a supervisory one. It is important that you’re setting the right example as you train and support them right from the start.

The most important and effective way for Team Leaders/Sponsors to earn trust quickly: be a strong communicator. It should be on your first list to always allocate time to get to know your new affiliates right from the very beginning. Helping them in their immediate needs, your guidance as they get started in their journey with SFI will fuel their motivation and get them stay engaged with SFI for longer than one day.

Most affiliates if not all come with a little or no knowledge of SFI, and
Have no clue where to start and what to do, this is the experience I got
When I contact them right away when they join if they are online and
Contact them via instant message, some of them have a language barrier
Even if they stated their first language is English.

The good technique I use is, if I see no English in the notification and
They are from out side of USA, and have different language other than English
I will look where they are from and send them a welcome letter in their native
language and English, this will give them a sense of relief and easiness to
work and communicate more.

Even if I include on my welcome letter the information to start, From
Start, SFI Basics, then The launchPad, most of them don’t start from
There.

When I talk to them on instant message after I introduce myself the first
thing I ask them is if they watched the Six minute introduction video
If they say no I will tell them to watch that and come back to me and I
Will wait for them.

When they came back We discussed about it, then make them familiar
With the daily to do Tabs, and all what we have over there,
This is when I am lucky enough to find them online.

When you engaged with them like this they will come back.
Check what they do, and give them pointers time to time, with e cards
Thank, congratulate them for the work well done,
Communicate with them on Face book, Messenger, Skype
when time Permits. When they know you are with them they will
stay for longer period of time.

This is a very good question, especially to those that are new to Internet Marketing.

The vast majority of people that sign up for an online business are seeking quick means to financial success. They may sign up to dozens of sites only to find they actually need to apply themselves to make money and succeed, then simply give up and become inactive.

However, do NOT let that discourage you from trying to get them to be active.

The beauty of SFI is that it offers many tools to encourage new sign-ups to become active.

I'd advise you to do these things:

1) Send a personal Welcome ECard - This shows the sign-up that a REAL person exists that is willing to help and support them in their SFI endeavors.
2) Use your Genealogy Report - You can access EVERYTHING about the sign-up, including his/her country, language, etc. You can also send personal email messages as well as sending them a "Team Mail" message, which is part of your To Do List Tasks.
3) Explore Exchanging - If the sign-up is from a different country, you can try exchanging him/her for a person in your own country/language.

In summary, you cannot force anyone to stay engaged with SFI, but you can offer them your best knowledge and advice and hope they respond.

Hope this helps.

Hello Yvonne

It’s not a big problem unless your new affiliate is just a ‘tyre kicker’. The tyre kickers are the only people who just sign up and never even visit the email to check whether they have been registered or not.

2. Generally, we are required to upload a default welcome letter and whenever a person signs up, this default welcome letter lands up in the email box of the signee.

3. Communication is the main thing which establishes the connection between you and your PSA. So it’s of paramount importance that you establish contact between you and him by email, e-card or PM. Also try to search him/her on phase book and get connected with him/her.

4. Once communication has been established, guide him step by step how to ‘Get started on SFI’. Advise him to go through the video and get acquainted with SFI.

5. Do not overload your PSA with lots of links. Because SFI also starts sending him Launch Pad lessons daily. You can just advise him/her to go through these lessons carefully and answer each question that is given at the end of the lesson.

6. Also ask him to complete his/her profile. Inform him/her that completing the profile is important and they would be awarded with Versa Points for completing their profile.

7. In this way you can keep them engaged for at least 3-4 days, then automatically they will start visiting their home page. You need to keep in touch with one message to guide, support & help him/her.



Hope it helps.

Have a great day

Many a time this happens, while the affiliate fail to login the second day itself. I have some tips to get rid off your problem...

1. First thing I detected is that the prospect assumes that by Signing Up they become Millionare!

So to remove this mind set, I started promoting SFI that "it's not quick rich scheme".
By now most prospects try to spend some time.

2. We fail when we promote in negative way that "$100 instant Sign Up Bonus".
Because the prospect Sign Ups to get the $100 directly to his account!
So we must clearly state that it is Sign Up Bonus, 3% will be added with regular monthly income.

3. After Sign Up, try to contact immediately on SFI CHAT.
It may clear most of initial doubts and the affiliate may spend more time in understanding the business.

4. I always promote by saying "TIME and PATIENCE are the only investment".
So it creates POSITIVE impact on prospect and definitely after sign up they try to spend time to understand the business.

5. If skype or other social network IDs were published during promotion then it's easy to communicate clearly.

6. Mail affiliates with short description that how they are going to earn in different ways with SFI.

7. Short description about ECA is the best way to spend the affiliate more time, because it caughts eye of an affiliate that he can earn residual income.

8. Describing about 45% Commission Volume is also effective way, it makes affiliates curious and definitely they spend time to gain knowledge.

Spending time more than a day, is completely depended on the WAY of PROMOTION.
So promoting SFI in positive, realistic and 'far thinking way' does matter.

You cannot make anyone do anything in SFI or otherwise unless they want to. This is a fact of life. Communication forms the key to your question. You can advise, mentor, guide, provide encouragement and motivate with various incentives and do your best to highlight the potential of such a program. However, when it comes to taking a decision, it remains with the individual who has signed up with SFI.

1. There are various methods provided by SFI (team-mail, chat, stream, email, e-cards) that helps you start a conversation with the new sign ups. This is the first point of contact you have with them. However, you will be left with an inactive affiliate unless you communicate in simple terms.

2. The other option is to reassign the sign ups to down lines where they will not be any language barriers so they can communicate easily-it helps to inform them why you are doing this.

3. Use gift certificates to motivate; however, as I mentioned earlier, you cannot make anyone do anything. There are instances when these have not been utilized and the gift certificates are returned to the Sponsor.

It is important to also recognize that whilst you are trying every possible means to get your affiliates to remain active, keep in mind the reasons why the affiliate has joined the program. In most cases, the people you recruit are not known to you and therefore you can only begin to communicate with your sign-ups if they respond to you. If you can generate a conversation with your affiliates without bombarding them with a lot of SFI stuff, this may create a relationship with your affiliates that will enable you to get them to start becoming active.

What can I do to get my new sign-ups to stay engaged with SFI for longer than one day?

That's a question which I like very much because that's what I have been doing since joining SFI and after literally sponsoring hundreds of PSAs I try to engage PSAs more than one day. If you succeed in engaging your PSAs more than one day then its almost guaranteed that they will become active.

The very first thing I do to engage my PSAs is to send them Welcome E Cards and Welcome Letters asking them to contact me immediately to learn how to generate big income here in SFI. Who doesn't want to generate big income? This way I try to keep their attention affixed to SFI. Then I ask them to watch the START video. I give them time to watch it and then immediately I ask them to read SFI BASICS. Once they have read it then I ask them to read all Daily Action tabs and score points. This way they understand this business in a much better way. Then I ask them to click To Do tab and read and try to understand which actions give them how many points. This way they learn practically with examples.

Next I ask them to Confirm their Registration and Whitelist [email protected].
Once they have done this then I ask them to play T-Time. I guide them personally through Facebook Messenger or through Whatsapp. Once they have understood above then I ask them to explore SFI and Tripleclicks of their own and if they have any questions then I will be available for them next day. This way I keep them engaged for days till they have understood it all.

Now they can sponsor of their own and build their team and guide them and thus duplicate the process.

That's how I have built my team and I am sure you would also like to do same way and build a big team.

All the best to you.

I think most of us have thought about this many times, as we try not to pull our hair out by the roots.

There isn't much you can do to encourage a new sign up in such a short time. SFI isn't for everyone and many new sign ups realize this after about a day and some after a while longer.

What you can do is to make your Welcome Letter very positive and tell them that SFI isn't a make money overnight scam and that these other sites are scams. Let them know that with some enthusiasm and effort and a small amount of money, they will make money, but it takes time. Be upbeat and honest and then they can decide based on this.

We can't make someone want to stay... that is a choice they make and unfortunately, many do leave. However, occasionally some have returned after finding out there isn't a site that will make you rich in a week.

Keep your chin up... this happens to all of us on a constant basis, but you only need about 5 hard working people on your team and then things will start to happen for you.

All the best.

Helping new SFI sign-ups stay engaged, from the get-go, is the first indication of potential success. It will allow them to be on track in their training, meet their deadlines for Fast Tract, get full awareness of the E365 contest, and eventually qualify for the last round. It will also give the sponsor opportunities to provide adequate and timely support.

As sponsors, our task is to welcome the affiliate, make them feel appreciated and motivate them to complete the registration process. This is the most critical part on which hinges whether the affiliate will be active. Those first hours set the stage for the Fast Track deadlines.

As soon as we get a notification of a new PSA, we send a welcome message, an E-Card and/or try to catch them online and initiate an SFI IM chat. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know them, and start building a mutually beneficial working relationship. .

In the "New PSA Notification" we get from SFI, we find all the resources we need to keep our new team member active. Within, there are links to:
- the affiliate snapshot which provides us with all relevant information;
- directions to the welcome message draft;
- References to the Compensation Plan to help us understand how the addition of a new team member can benefit the sponsor;
- the guidelines and tips on how to be an awesome sponsor;
- access to our upline for support and guidance on how to help new members.

Very likely, the sponsor will continue to reach out to their new PSA, regardless of whether or not they established a first contact.

When we use all these resources effectively, we will create a positive first impression for the new PSAs, and make them feel welcome as well as appreciated

However, the extent and effectiveness of the sponsor's welcome efforts and offer of help will greater depend on what the new affiliate does in their first days of joining.

Have they confirmed their email address?
Have they whitelisted SFI, TripleClicks, and Pricebenders?
Have they completed their Affiliate profile?

First among the sponsor's goals is to guide the new affiliate go through those preliminary tasks.

In the process of completing their profile, the affiliate will sent a message to their sponsor informing them of their readiness to start building their business. That notification contains a rating on the their background and business experience . This is a valuable information to us, the sponsors. It will help us tailor our guidance and tips to match our team member's needs.

After the new affiliate has completed their profile, we will receive the final notification about their registration. It will contain references to the Marketing center with its sponsoring tools, marketing methods and aids. Thus we have readily available information to convey to our team members and direct their efforts in building their businesses.

Sponsors will be well served if they follow the charted path and apply the standard guidelines of "working with the workers". Some affiliates may show activity only later on. Others may miss important deadlines.

The point is to work with every affiliate according to their specific situation, help them take advantage of second chances for qualifying for the Fast Track and the E365 contest, if they missed the first ones, and steer them to stay on course to build their businesses.

"What can I do to get my new sign-ups to stay engaged with SFI for longer than one day?"

The best thing you can do to ensure your PSAs stay engaged is to be actively involved with their progress. Don't be a micromanager nor be the distant sponsor. You want to build rapport and trust early on. The best way to do this is to find time to address other topics outside of SFI. When you meet a friend or a family member you just don't hit them with "Hey I need a favor". Instead you shoot the breeze with them about topics of interest. I'm not saying that you have to get into your PSAs personal life but I am saying that you need to be personable and likeable. People like to work with people they like and trust. They don't want to be taken advantage of. So learn to keep the focus on them and off of you. Always tell them what they gain, or how it helps them. It's only human nature to consider these things. So when you show your PSAs you are interested in their success they will be more willing to follow your recommendations.

Finally keep everything as simple as possible. This makes the process totally duplicable and easy to follow. Break it down in increments so that an 8 year old can follow it. Then you will gain more active PSAs. Many a PSA has taken 1 look at SFI and said it's too complicated. Anything you don't understand is complicated. So help your PSAs to see themselves as successfully making milestones. Give them 1 or 2 routine actions at a time and then 1 or 2 more. Eventually everything will crystalize and become clear. Then your PSAs will not need your support as much. Let them know from the jump - take your time. You will get there if you follow a routine and never give up.
