You have to be a Beneficial Role Model to positively influence your new affiliates.
They all come from different backgrounds,different levels of commitment so you need to be patient,broadcast the SFI word and make it something good.What you extend into your new affiliates will return.
Make your welcome words irresistible,bend your words in a beneficial way and be thoughtful.You should pay attention to the initial challenges they might face with all the info they are surrounded with.
Attempt to only listen to one affiliate at one time.Attempting to multi-task your ears will lead you no where.It is a practice every Team Leader ought to have.
To portion out the SFI knowledge effectively,you must first be a proactive leader.Being proactive; taking the first step to help them shows leadership.Lead by example.Behave the way you want your affiliates to act.
When communicating with your new affiliates make certain to share your knowledge freely and openly.Have a look at any and all details on their VP Ledger and make sure to ask along the way,if there are any questions that require answers.Always stay approachable.Being approachable means being flexible as much as possible when your affiliate has a question.
Guide and offer perceptiveness to the questions or responses.Offer hints and options when needed and guide them to sources and links at the Affiliate Center that may prove helpful.
It is also important to spotlight any accomplishments they might have blanked out, to help build their self-assurance.When your affiliates feel like their daily work are valued they will take ownership of what they are trying to accomplish. They are the authorities and will have thoughts for improvements in processes and productivity. The feeling of contributing something to the team building will make them love what they do.
Recognize them on an individual basis by sending 'Well Done' notes in their email.Celebrating achievements, goals,will make everybody enjoy what they are doing more.A bit of praise goes a long way and you will soon be building a Team of Leaders.

Hey Jean Vallee, very nice question as this is requirement of 99% of all people in SFI.

Let me give you some ways how to handle it.

There are number of ways to get your affiliates active for doing their daily tasks on regular basis. I will be taciturn to give you main points so Keep below points in your mind.

1. You must make them aware the importance and various benefits of VP for their status of EA.
You should let them aware about that there are number of benefits if they do their regular activities as
=> If they do daily actions they will get free entry in Daily grand
=> By doing daily actions they will also get automatic entry of E365 for winning 50$ or 20CSA or 5TC or 100MRP.
=> Daily actions are free vp source to get it , so it must not be loose anyhow.
=> Daily actions give maximum contribution to reach their EA status and it takes maximum 10 minute to do , so why not to do it :)

After getting these much benefits they will never miss to do any actions.

2. If still they are forgetting to do then as a sponsor its your responsibility to wake them up.
what you can do is:
=> Take their personal mail id and send them mail in very kind words and ask them how he/she is and do some formal talk , it will create good relation as well.
=> Stream tab is your good tool to give them instructions about daily activities and goals. Use it efficiently.
=> Send them message personally also about any good news of contest.
=> Always keep updates on your leadership page of different contest and Inspirational quotes.
=> CONTEST of TC and CSA reassignment will attract them a lot so they will do log in daily.
=> Best contest is offer any good stuff which you won in auction (if you won in less price as i recently did), just see all will wake up like spark :)

Hope this will help you.

Greeting fellow Affiliate... I think ASK SC provide a great opportunity for us all to improve and update our understanding towards growth in SFI.

Now. This is a great question and the below step are the simple way to go about this. Please do not try to complicate SFI for your self and your followers. Learn for the below steps, follow does you admire and you will grow timely.


1. DO, first and foremost, always lead by example. Do all the things that you want your downline members to do, and they will follow your lead. Learn more.

2. DO offer and provide robust support to you downline always. Never forget that YOU succeed only if THEY succeed. Learn more.

3. DO "work with the workers" and never forget this critical principle. Learn more.

4. DO fully complete your Leadership Page, and then keep it fresh by checking it at least weekly for needed updates and/or for adding new content.

5. DO send out a weekly newsletter to your entire downline and CSAs. You can use the group mailer in your Genealogy, the PSA Mailer, and/or CSA Mailer. Tip: Not sure what to say? Pick and choose from the numerous sample messages provided HERE. Another tip: Don't expect lots of responses. Instead, stay focused on publishing valuable information each week. Remember, most people are highly skeptical that they can make money on the Internet. Over time, your consistency will demonstrate that SFI is real, that you're real, and then they'll want to jump in. Think of your weekly newsletters as follow-ups. In the advertising world, it's well-known that most people have to be exposed to something at least 10 times before they even notice it...and often many times more before they will take action such as making a purchase. Use this knowledge to your advantage with a regular, weekly newsletter!

6. DO include your Leadership Page URL in all correspondence with your team (the URL is www.sfimg.com/leadership/12034434), and encourage your team members to visit your Leadership Page regularly. For example, always include it in your weekly newsletter something like, Visit my Leadership Page for the latest tips, contests, and more for our team at: www.sfimg.com/leadership/12034434.

7. DO set up contests using your Leadership Page. Test different types of contests for different segments of your team, such as EAs only, or affiliates only, or PSAs only. Then be sure to PROMOTE your contests regularly in your newsletters, TeamTalk postings, etc.

8. DO post a TeamTalk message on your SFIMG home page's Stream tab at least every three days. Major announcements or deep thoughts are unnecessary. Instead, post a brief word of encouragement, a short tip or insight, a favorite quote, a quick comment regarding a recent SFI news item, a thank you, recognition of team members who have reached a milestone, or just a description of what you're doing to build your SFI business today.

9. DO answer all e-mails you receive from your team members within 24 hours—sooner if possible.

10. DO, when you receive an e-mail notification of a new PSA, click the included link and see if they are online now. If so, don't waste a second; start up an "SFIM" online chat with them. Start with a Hi, I'm your SFI sponsor, General Carter Ham. Welcome to SFI! Can I help you to get started? This is one of the absolute best ways to connect with a new PSA and start them on the road to success in SFI (which, of course, adds to your success).


11.DO encourage your affiliates to use a2a to find SFI'ers in their region—especially if they live in countries other than yours. "Locals" may know about the culture, marketing, etc., that works there—things you may not be aware of. You can also help your international affiliates find good locals by identifying them yourself and then forwarding to them the URL of their Affiliate Snapshot. From the Affiliate Snapshot, they can become a2a friends by simply clicking the a2a Friend Request button located under the photo. Tip: Build a list of top international a2a'ers on your own "Top Friends" list to refer your affiliates to. Example: You gain a new PSA from Indonesia. Go to your Top Friends list, click the name of one of the Indonesians you've added. Now copy the URL of their Affiliate Snapshot and send it to your new PSA and encourage them to request a2a friendship with your Indonesian a2a friend.

12. DO use your SFI badges to lead by example. Remember, when your team members visit your Leadership Page (or view your Affiliate Snapshot), your badges are displayed to them. Your team members will do as you do. Hence, make sure everything you want them to do you've got the badge for on YOUR page...such as: Fast Track, Standing Order, a high Power Rank, a high VP leaderboard rank, W3 membership, E365 finalist, S-Builder, etc. If your page isn't sporting these badges, don't expect your downline members to work for them either. Lead by example!

13. DO work with and cheer on all your PSAs who are currently in the E365 contest. Just go to the E365 Leaderboard and select "My PSAs." Tip: Clicking their name will display their Affiliate Snapshot. Their Snapshot contains specific details on their current status in the E365 contest—as well as a link to their VP Ledger so you can see what points are available to them. Use this information to personalize your support messages to them.

14. DO also work with and cheer on all your CSAs who are currently in the E365 contest. Just go to the E365 Leaderboard and select "My CSAs." See previous "DO" for additional tips you can use with your CSAs in the E365 contest.



15. DO spend a few minutes every day at the SFI Forum. Be visible to the SFI community as a whole and to your downline, especially by posting regularly. Share tips and answer questions that are posted. Show your downline that you're a leader at the Forum too.

16. DO recognize the good works and milestones of your team members. Everyone likes to have their accomplishments recognized! You can use a combination of venues, including the Recognition section of your Leadership Page, the Recognition section at the SFI Forum, your weekly newsletters, and TeamTalk posts on Stream. Recognize new affiliates, new EAs, and new Team Leaders. Recognize milestones, such as: first PSA sign-up; first PRM sign-up; first TripleClicks sale; and achieving the rank of Fast-Track Member, EA, and EA2. Recognize the advancements of your PSAs in the Entrepreneur365 Challenge.

17.DO reassign PSAs. Here's the strategy we recommend: Using My Movers and/or your Genealogy, identify your five best, most active PSAs. You want to help each of these five become a PTL (Platinum Team Leader). Reassign equally all of your other PSAs under these five...and let them know what you've done. Note: Don't fret about doing these reassignments. You can earn Matching VP (override income) on every person you reassign so can still directly benefit from all of their actions. Assuming you've chosen your five potential leaders well, you now have five very excited PSAs who are now even more motivated to work and build their SFI businesses. PLUS, by narrowing everything down to five people, you can put the immense power of FOCUS to work for you. Be at their beck and call, and work with each of your five PSAs closely, ideally on a daily basis. This is where you'll create the momentum that manifests in ever-larger monthly commissions. Note: If you don't yet have five go-getters, start with two or three. You can always add people later. Must you stop with five? No, but you can earn a massive income with just 5 to 10 superstar PSAs, so don't spread yourself too thin going any wider on your front line.

17. DO run an advertising co-op for your team if you can. Use SFI's Co-op Manager; it does all the heavy lifting and makes setting up and maintaining a team co-op simple and easy.

Add useful post and important information's on your streams daily. this helps a lot.
PLEASE DON'T set up an autoresponder or canned text for replying to team members who've contacted you. Doing so is a MAJOR turn-off and is absolutely counter to how you achieve success in SFI. Duplication and big commissions are built on the creation and maintaining of good, strong relationships with your team members. You cannot build a relationship by ignoring someone or substituting the personal touch with automation.

God will richly bless you as you make sincere efforts.
Merry Xmas.

Very good question. In fact I personally was thinking for few days now for how I can motivate my team members to login daily and do there daily activity.

For that it's very important to have a good idea of your team. After observing my genealogy for few days , I came to the conclusion that I have few members who log in daily, few log in 3 to 4 times in a week and few are totally inactive.

It's better to leave inactive members , just for weekly team mail.

We need to work with those who are loging in frequently but not daily. I have an idea of starting a contest , just for log in daily and perform your Daily, Weekly and Monthly Actions and get 5 or 10 T credits for performing this for a continued period of 30 days.

It will be a good bargain , as there's all probability that once a PSA or CSA is loging in daily , he will try to do more then just performing his Daily , Weekly and Monthly Actions. And once he is active with full energy , it can push my team to great height.

First and foremost you would need to send your downlines a welcome message through your genealogy using the SFI mailer system. In it you would need to state that SFI is a Team work and their collective efforts would bring gains to everyone. Then, you would explain to them how to carry out actions in the To Do List and gain Versa Points. Then you would have to advice them to visit their Homepage daily otherwise they would miss points daily if do not. Advice them to study their Lunchpad daily to get the basic training on SFI. lastly, you would ask to to contact you if they had any hitch.
For Affiliates from your country, you could contact them on your local phones. This would bring friendship and encouragement.
These are in my opinion the basic things to do. However, they are affiliates that do not visit their Homepage after the first enrollment. For such, there is nothing you can do.

After the welcome letter, I would follow up with a personal message to new affiliates, to offer them guidance and teaching the basics.

For most people, the Affiliate Center can be a bit overwhelming, so it is important to let them know that if at any time they’re feeling this way to take a break.

Above all, I will advise them to not try to learn everything about SFI in one go. As with everything else, there is a time for learning, a time to put into practice what has been learnt, a time to rest and a time to work.

I would set up a few guidelines for them to follow, as per KISS principle: Keep It Simple and Succinct.

To review all the four simple actions and just focus on them.
Log in daily at Affiliate Center
Visit homepage
Do the launchPad
Do the daily to do tasks.

Plus advise them to also review these important pages:
• Frequently asked questions about how to get started with SFI
• Frequently asked questions about commissions and how you get paid

I would then emphasise the importance of getting to Executive Affiliate. That once they become an EA they’ll earn shares from the TripleClicks Executive Pool, become eligible for Co-Sponsor Commissions and ECA Royalties, pick up free TC Credits, get co-sponsored added to their team each month, and much, much more.

They can become EA from personal purchases and through customer sales,and by putting in Standing Orders to ensure they get the required 1500 VP every month and keep their rank.

If nothing else, becoming an Executive Affiliate will be a great motivating factor for them to log in daily and doing the important things first.

This can sometimes be a difficult task, if your affiliate hasn't really any clue of what they signed up for and was just exploring.

for those who are serious, you need to set the right example yourself by making sure you always do your own daily tasks. In your welcome email, tell new affiliates right up front that doing these daily tasks is essential to their success in SFI. I try and encourage new affiliates that doing these tasks will keep them informed of what is happening in their new business as well as teach them how the business works, and that they are earning while they’re learning.

As well as telling them what they need to do I try and tell them how and give guidance on doing these, sharing from my earlier mistakes so that hopefully they will not repeat them. A problem I found right at the beginning was that I didn’t realise that there was a task halfway down the Daily Actions which was checking the latest items at TripleClicks. I missed this because I was only clicking the links across the top without reading through the VP ledger. I discovered this about a week or so later and realised that for the first period I had been missing out on those 2VP per day. I make sure my new affiliates are aware of that task right away. I Also remind them to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue button to show they have reviewed the page to earn their VP.

I have set up a series of step-by-step emails to guide my new affiliates through their first couple of months and I offer the link to these in my welcome email.

Despite my best efforts, however, there are many affiliates who don’t seem to catch the vision of what is possible in SFI and don’t bother with doing the actions regularly and who don’t take up my support offer, or ever contact me. The old saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” I don’t give up on these people and still send them my weekly team mail, and sometimes write and remind them of their goals in joining SFI. If I see that they have taken any action at all – even just logging in, I write and welcome them back and try to encourage them to recommit to this great business potential.

Thats a very good question and holds an important spot in the way to success in SFI !!!

1) First of all, when you get a new affiliate in your downline, contact him/her right away. Try to message them in chat if you both are online at the same time.

2) Most of the new affiliates find SFI very complicated in the beginning of their days. So, your welcome message should itself be motivating and it should clear the basic ideas for them. You should simply ask them to do the basic things required on the 1st-2nd day, like joining Tripleclicks, becoming A2A member and Fast Tracker. Let them feel comfortable.

3) When they become fast tracker, congratulate them and guide them further in collecting the getting started points and immediate action points. Also tell them by now how important it is to login daily and collect daily points.

4) If they are going good, they'd become an EA in the first week. Congratulate them again and gift them Tcredits or reassignments if possible.
Then Teach them step by step your way of succcess.

Most importantly,

(I) When they feel confused, clear their queries as soon as possible .

(II) Stay in touch with them through e-mails and other means.

(III) Encourage them as much as Possible.
