Wow! This is THE Question.

I will be blunt. I think there is nobody here in SFI capable to offer a reasonable answer for this question.

The most common advice would be to accept that SFI is a number game so you have to enrol as many affiliates as you can and then to accept that less than 1% will be active.
But this is not a reasonable answer for THE Question, it's only the wisdom to accept what is out of your control.

I understand that you are looking for strategies to have affiliates become active in SFI for 2016 - this is an excellent question and I can not help but consider the first step to an active team is having an active leader.

You stated that you wanted to do things differently in order to see the change. In order to see the change or outcome that you hope to have, you will need to consider what you have done for the past 6 months and see what has been value added to your team members and what business behaviours can be replaced with new behaviours.

Things that can be considered right away may include but not be limited to the following:

Language in the correspondence that you send out to all - is the language up lifting and persuades others to try and move forward or does the language, the words you use, seem to cause people to deflate and loose motivation to move on with their SFI business;

Role Modelling - when you look at your profile with SFI such as listed on your leadership page or even on your SFI Homepage consider what is "not there" in addition to what is there. Your badges are posted as a result of an action done in the past or an action that you choose to continue to do this month - what is sparked when you look at your profile. Would your profile represent an opportunity of growth for a team member or would it represent stagnation,

Value added - try to get to know your down line team members so that you are able to work with them and for them by adding value to their SFI business. You may see that he or she is stating in their monthly goal to have ECA's join their profile so you may want to check in proactively on how this development is moving along and inquire if they are interested in a hint or tip to make things happen

Ultimately you can only motivate yourself and show others the way. Team members will choose either to follow your lead or choose to take a different path.

It is also important to have dialogue with your team members on what 'ACTIVE' means to them as we all may have a different understanding as to what that means in business.
