There is no fixed formula or system to ensure this.
As a Sponsor you can do your very best to keep them inspired and remain active.
SFI has come out with very many encouraging announcements in the last couple of months to help the new affiliates remain committed. These include:
1. Fast Track (including extension) benefits;
2. Only Sales VersaPoints & no more Action VersaPoints requirement;
3. Signing Bonus;
4. Milestone shares;
5. Designated Diamond;
6. CSA Reward Program;
7. CSA Reassignment;

As a Sponsor, we need to keep reminding them about these and explain they will be benefited in terms of earnings and building their own team quickly. To make them understand and realize is vital in keeping them active within the team.
1. More over, Sponsors should not keep bombarding them with messages in detail on a daily basis. SFI takes care of all new affiliates with appropriate periodic mails by which they will get adequate information to build their business. Short and simple messages will help them.
2. Sponsors can guide them but can not dictate terms to them; Its their business and they know how to run it.
3. Sponsors should not insist on placing a Standing Order without knowing them better. If we do then there are chances that they will misunderstand our intention and that’s enough to make them inactive or quit quickly.
4. Sponsors should be keen to build a lasting relationship with the team which can help a lot in the business. This will be possible only if the Sponsors make themselves trustworthy in the eyes of the Team Members.
5. Sponsors just can not expect the team to comply with what ever they say if they do not themselves demonstrate first. For example, if the Sponsor keeps urging the team members to become BTL, with themselves just remaining EA2 for so many months, they won’t pay heed to them. To lead by example is very important in case the Sponsors want to keep their new affiliates active.
6. In any communication, the Sponsor should always ask the Affiliates, “How I can help you so that you can get started, “What I can do so that you can become a Fast Track Member”. The emphasis here is, “I am willing to walk the extra mile to help you”.
7. Sponsors approach should be very practical and simple so that the new affiliates can follow. Merely providing links to so many training materials will not help. In fact, this will be counter productive.
8. More than being Sponsors, the team should feel they have a good and trust worthy person with whom they can share anything freely. When the Sponsors create this kind of feeling in the minds of the new affiliates quickly, they will stick to the business and remain active for long duration.
9. The sponsor’s approach should always be practical, positive and genuine. If these are reflected in the communication, the new affiliates will feel safe and secured.
10. Finally, as long as the Sponsors remain and prove they are indeed “Awesome Sponsors” the new affiliates, in all fairness, will remain active for a longer period.
The onus is on Sponsors. They should introduce only trust worthy & well known people as their affiliates.
They should have open and heart felt dialogues with their Family Members, close friends, co-workers, etc based on a clear List of Prospects prepared with all seriousness & careful attention.
If this is followed in all seriousness, it is possible that new affiliates will not become inactive or think of quitting almost immediately after joining. In fact, they will stay for long periods, grow and succeed!
