I never just concentrate on my most active CSAs. When I send out my team mailers, I send out two - one to ALL of my PSAs and one to ALL of my CSAs. Just because they're not responsive doesn't mean they're not doing anything at all.

Some of my PSAs and CSAs will go on a long hiatus and then all of a sudden, they show back up in my Movers list again.

You never know what their situations are behind the scenes, and what might spark their interest to jump back in and try to start building their business. So always include them in your regular mailers. Always make sure they know that you're leaving your door open if they need your help.

And like others have said - Never, never give up - and that includes never giving up on people in your downline that don't seem to be doing anything. If they signed up for a specific reason, just receiving occasional emails from you may be a trigger to get them to come back.

Should one give up on CSA’s who are not doing anything, that is a good question.

My Answer: “NEVER GIVE UP” I treat my CSA's the same as my PSA's

Why do I say that I am a good example. This is my third attempt with SFI.

I felt that SFI was too slow to get to a high paying commission.

I was sidetracked by the hype of the “Get Rich Quick” programs and went
from program to program. But SFI was always in the back of my mind.
I returned and got an excellent sponsor that showed me what I REALLY
needed to do. I followed his advice and I am happy to say that I am now
making progress in SFI. I have attained the rank of BTL and my goal is to become
a PTL.

I’ve learned from my experience that YOU need to become an AWESOME sponsor
And provide your team with encouragement and tips for them to make progress
Some will respond and some will not. But we cannot concentrate on that.
I have over 300 affiliates in my team but only EIGHT are doing anything.
For those that are dormant, I send out my weekly Team Mail to ALL Maybe
Like myself they will see something that they never saw before and become
active. There are many distractions out there. We don’t know what is keeping
Them back, but we want to be there for them if and when they return.

See you at the top.

Claudio

P.S. You do not need a good sponsor to be successful. You can do it on your own with the help of The FORUM and the ASC SC Community.

Great question!

Simple answer: NEVER give up on them!

People sign up with SFI for a number of reasons and with lots of different levels of experience, motivation, desire, and willingness to learn.

Their desire to make money online is clear: they signed up. But that's often all we know about them, and the motivation and willingness to learn must come from within. Each PSA or CSA needs to decide for themselves that the time is right to make SFI work for them.

Until then, the best we can do for them as leaders is to not try to force them to get going with SFI, but to simply continue to show our enthusiastic willingness to provide ideas, support, and assistance to those who are willing to make the effort.

Whether it takes them a month or a year to get going doesn't matter - some will never get it! But many who sign up will only get going after they've received a number of messages from you. So don't give up on them, and don't try to force them to take action. Let them come to an awareness of the power and potential of SFI through your leadership. Just send group mailers regularly, and be happy and grateful about those who respond by taking action.

I was a late bloomer in SFI. That is I had too many irons in the fire when the opportunity was presented so I did nothing with SFI for 2 months. I filtered all those annoying emails into a folder and forgot about them. My sponsor was a no show and still is. When the time came I logged in and started the program. I'm still here and I'm building my business.

Every single one of these people opted in to SFI for a reason. Then for other unknown reasons did nothing with the opportunity. If they don't communicate with us we can never know why they appear to have abandoned SFI.

However, we must assume that each one is a late bloomer and will eventually take up the business if we keep lines of communication open. Never give up on them. One could be your next BTL.

That being said, we must focus are attention on those that need our help and are working to build their businesses and our own in turn. Balance is what is required.

The huge number of 'no shows' on the SFI books and in your downline is a matter of ineffective recruiting practices. People work with (and buy from) people they know, like, and trust. Filling in a form on a squeeze page for some incentive or emotional trigger does not build those characteristics. It is best to build a relationship with prospects before introducing them to the SFI opportunity. That has always been the way of MLM prospecting - make your best customers your next distributor/affiliate.

How about if we turn that around here at SFI? Lets make our worst prospects our best customers. Stop trying to motivate reluctant affiliates and simply consider them potential TripleClicks customers. Rather than trying to make the horse drink the SFI coolaid, promote TripleClick products and services to them. Should they become good customers, they may reconsider the business opportunity. When that happens they will contact you!

Hi colleague

As much as it irritates talking to someone who doesn't respond, i will give you my word today because i have been through that and not only with my CSA or PSA but in my personal life.
I used to shout and yell at my 14 year old nephew everyday until 5 years later when he was 21 years old everything was the way i wanted them to be, i wasn't shouting or yelling at him anymore and it came to my mind that he didn't understand why i was expecting him to do things the way i wanted him to do.

So for you my partner never give up on them and never shout or yell like i did but instead give them all the reasons why they should be working and trust me after while they will come back and surprise you.

Hold on partner and NEVER GIVE UP!

I never give up on anyone in my downline...until they opt out or drop off. You never know what personal circumstances people have or when they will start working their business again.

Never give up. Always send messages with information, advice and support. At least weekly.

My answer is: Never! There could be a number of reasons why CSAs are not responding to our messages or remain inactive since joining. Sometimes it is due to lack of resources on their part and not owning a personal computer is the problem most have to face. We'll never know the real reason that's why it's important we should not give up in reaching out to them.

However, we should also be practical. Time is money. As we work closely with workers and movers on our team, we can continue to send regular communication to non-responsive CSAs. As the saying goes, a horse will not drink even if you put a bucket of water in front of it. But as dogs bark and non-responsive CSAs stay in shadows,the caravan moves on. If they want to join the moving caravan, they can run and catch up. If not, the alternative is to be left behind and miss the fun and enjoyment of a rich and rewarding life.

Do not give up on anyone, keep on encouraging them and try to find out what is their set back, if there isn't a language barrier and you play the role of a good coach there is the possibility they will respond when reality hits.

Being a leader of a team is all ready a challenge and even more so when there is a lack of communication from any one of your team members. Lack of response from a PSA or CSA is hard not to take personally but at the same time is a way for a team leader to review what motivates members of the team. This challenge is actually an opportunity to let the team leader develop new skills as a leader as well as improve upon what is all ready working. I would encourage continuation of professional communication as time will come when a connection will happen. Carnegie said it best, "Many communicate but few connect". Use the tools that SFI has to offer to be the best servant leader you can be. Ultimately, if a member chooses not to respond now does not mean that they are out of SFI; support team members to see the value that SFI can add to their lives..this will be the key to making the connection you are wanting to have. Awesome question!
