When looking at my long list of inactive PSAs I wonder why each one is not working. I have invited those who just plain do not want to work SFI to opt out. None of my inactives have opted out. so I consider them all to be just waiting for something. When I have an active PSA from a country where I have inactive PSAs, I will ask the active ones if they would care to take on some inactives from their country. Sometimes it is a language problem, or cultural, or a local problem. I feel that the change may help the inactive affiliate to be able to reach out to someone who understands their need.

I also see this reassignment as a chance for my active PSAs to learn how to use the Mailers, and Genealogy, and Reports during a learning time when they are not so busy taking care of piles of active affiliates. They are more likely to communicate with these inactives and earn their 120 vp from that.

But It doesn't work as well as I would like. The actives tend to get discouraged before they've sent out many letters.

I do ask the actives if they are interested in taking on some inactives.They usually jump at the chance but then do not follow up like they should. I need to be more diligent at mentoring the actives in their leadership roles.

I also send a note to each one who is being reassigned letting them know what I am doing and why, and that I will still be in their up line and ready to answer questions and help them should they need it. I am also mindful that I am no longer their sponsor, and try not to interfere with their new sponsor.
