If I lost touch with my downline through some unfortunate circumstance, I would send a personal greeting card to each of my movers, thanking them for still remaining active and congratulating them for not allowing my absence to prevent them from working towards their financial goals. I would sincerely apologize for not being there to support their growth, then I would let them know that I intend to be a constant source of support from now on.

I would send a Genealogy mailer to all of

As an active sponsor I would never 'loose touch' with my downline. My advice to those who do is to jump back in there and make up for lost time! Send out Team Mail. Let them know you are there. Answer all emails immediately. This lets them know that you really are there for them! Use everything at your disposal to make them feel confident in you again. Good Luck!

As sponsor, you MUST not lost contact to any of your affiliates. make a follow up and encourage them to do what you are doing,email them, or call, teach and motivate ,remind them what is their purpose and goal of joining SFI. your constant communication with your team,makes them feel important that they are being cared of. Again do not stop your communication, tell them to ask, what are the things that they don't understand. SFI provides suppport group to help them too.

What many sponsors fail to realize is that their downline is looking to them as a role model. Many don't care to keep in contact once they've sponsored someone because they know that their downline CANNOT choose to drop them until after 6 months of unsubscribing.

As sponsors we should not be selfish as we depend on our downline for success. I speak by example because my sponsor would not contact me if I don't contact him though I have not let this keep me back as I'm in it to win it and

Probably you are the sponsor that never care for their daily activities, that's why you feel you lost touch with your down line, but actually they are just right there. All you have to do to get reconnected communicate with them as much as possible be friend with them to let them feel that they are important in this business, if they grow you will grow likewise. You can send individual emails, just for you to have positive reconnection. Let therm read the various of different affiliates that succeed

This happened to me due to a death in the family. It does happen and there are excuses for it due to changes in circumstances and through loss or illness.

The best thing to do is let you downline know what is happening from the beginning. If you able and are going to be away for a while create a co-op, put your affiliates into it and change any advertising links to direct to the co-op.

If you are away from your business for a while get straight back onto your SFI business as

Don't worry. the following points can please be followed for corrective & preventive

1. Simple mails that you were missing them for while due to your personal limitations.

2.Keep writing them simple mails personally for a while at regular interval till you see them responding either by login to SFI or to your mail

3.Motivate them to contact you any time to ensure that you extend your fullest support as a sponsor

4.Collect & store all the contact

plain and simple you tell them what happen for you not doing your business, Like me I got hurt at work back in 2007 and I wrote a email telling people why I wasn't going to be able to be reach for so many days after I had surgery but I still keep EA in SFI for that 60 days and tried to keep in touch. I just started doing it again but I mainly had deid beats in the first place back then and well still today but hate to say it.

Well you have to be open and honest. I was having issues last month and I was not available for a good 28 days. No one could get in touch with me, so this is what I did. I sent a stream post to my downline and upline explaining what was going on in a professional manner. For all new people, I welcomed them with a stream post as well. I also did another stream post to re-motivate my team. I take it as learning experience and moved on.
