There are actually a few benefits to receiving non-active PSAs from your sponsor.

1) If you have no PSAs or CSAs, having even dormant PSAs reassigned to you will give you a name to work with in the Genealogy. You can now see how several of the tabs work. If you have several reassigned to you, then you can see more of the actions of the Genealogy.

2) You will also see how your Movers list works.

3) You can now earn your 120 vp per month for communicating with downline using the mailers.

4) If you have no a2a friends, then you may now write Stream messages and earn 12 vp per month.

5) Since they are not active and maybe not even reading your emails, you can experiment with styles of letters that you write, the information you put in them, and the timing during the week without being afraid of doing damage to an active business.

6) Since you don't know if someone who appears dormant is reading your emails until they appear on your Movers list, you will want to treat them as if they are valuable to you, which they are. Just like a nursery garden that is planted with hundreds of baby tulip bulbs, looks totally dead, and no flowers sprout out at the beginning of growing season for a year or two, your Movers list may very well come to bloom when the time is right for the dormant Affiliates.

Using all of the above, you will already be confident in your leadership when you gather active PSAs..

Of course, not all dormant afilliat3es will come to life. In that case, they will just fall off your Condensed Genealogy onto your Full Genealogy, and eventually be purged out of SFI. No harm done to you and in the meantime you gained valuable knowledge and had the chance of making the commissions from their activity.

Of course, those that actually become successful with help grow your commission check.

What a great Question.

When you receive reassignments from your Sponsor they are usually given as a reward for achieving a goal(s). If a Sponsor is rewarding everyone in their Team who also achieves the same goal, he/she may have to reassign 100's of PSAs, as such it is hard to give only active PSAs to everyone.

It is our job as a Sponsor to teach our Team (active or inactive) the best way we can, one such way is by sending Emails on a weekly basis to everyone in our Team. Not only does it help the active members, we are also rewarded with 30VP (regardless of whether our Team is active or not). So if you are just starting out and only have reassigned inactive team members, you are still able to move yourself forward by sending out a weekly email.

Once you have a Team under you, regardless of their active participation or not, you can also send Stream Posts (up to 3 a week gives you an additional 3VP).

If a member of your Team is not active yet, and if you have been steadfast in your communication, it may eventually pay off (it does happen more than you think). They may one day, wake up and have a “lightbulb” moment and see the potential that SFI has to offer, perhaps the Emails you send suddenly click with them and you will have a valuable Team Member from that moment on.

Perhaps the inactive affiliates are not working due to a language barrier, I try to reassign affiliates from the same country as the person I am giving them to, that way if necessary they can communicate in their own language and hopefully help the non-active affiliate understand things in such a way that I couldn’t.

I hope this helps.

If nothing else, you have the chance to gain experience in sending team mails.

Whereas your upline may not have had the time or been able to motivate the re-assigned affiliate, you may not have many, so you may have more time to give toward getting to know the PSA. This might help you be able to motivate them and then they would become active.

We never know what we say that motivates someone. You may write to them once a week for months and never have a response and then they will suddenly have that aha moment and they will become very active.

While we tell people to never give up, we should maybe take our own advice. If we don't give up on these affiliates perhaps they will begin to come around and become one of your best affiliates.

Thank you for asking this important question. The question talks about the "benefits" so I'll just focus on that.

Firstly, you now have more PSAs which is a good thing. We all know how much it costs both in time and money to get sign-ups, so if anyone gives your some for free, he's done you a good thing. Whether they are active or not is a secondary issue, after all you'll agree that most of the ones you signed-up yourself are inactive.

Secondly, you've been given an opportunity to to lead these ones and motivate them into activeness. There are several reasons why these ones are inactive one of which could be that your sponsor has not been a good leader to them. He/she may have so many of them and is unable to adequately cater for them. By re-assigning them to you, he has given you the opportunity to be a better sponsor. Learn how to be an awesome sponsor here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor.

Lastly, you've been given a potential source of wealth. We've been taught to never, never give up on any affiliate. He's being inactive now doesn't mean he'll always remain so. I personally know many affiliates who never did anything when they initially joined, but picked up after a while and are doing so well now.

So embrace these re-assignments as a good thing and get busy being a good sponsor to them. You never many know just how many may become active later on. All the best.

You asked the right question when you said NON-ACTIVE affiliates, Because most sponsors will not re-assign active affiliates hehehehehehe..

Don't be upset when you receive non-active affiliates from your sponsor because it has mutual benefits for you and your sponsor.

For You:
1. If these are your first PSA, you can receive up to 120 VP per month by sending a weekly PSA messages, even if they will not read or respond to your message.

2. You can have a practice on how to be an awesome sponsor. You can practice your knowledge of SFI and your convincing power as you send them messages.

3. There is a great possibility that they will be active again, and you reap the fruit of your labor.

For your sponsor, the benefits are:
1. He also earn 5 points for every transferred affiliates who have generated a min. of 600 VP in past 90 days.

2. He can encourage you to continue and showing you how to be an awesome sponsor.

3. he can clean up his list of PSA by removing non-active affiliates.

So, start thanking each other for these non-active affiliates hehehehe...

Receiving non active re-assigned affiliates (PSAs) might appear to be of no use at first glance.

There are so many instances where inactive members suddenly become active and go on to become Leaders.(the bulb suddenly flashes in their head that SFI is the REAL BUSINESS)

You must regularly send a Team mail explaining the benefits and simple strategies to grow the Business every few days to all your downline even if they are inactive because you never know which mail will change the mind of an inactive affiliate and he/she starts seeing the Big Picture. From that point it is only a matter of Time before they go to build a big Team and become successful, You will feel very HAPPY for having received them from your UPLINE. Do not expect this from too many inactive members.

There is one more advantage. When you are sending regular Team mail some inactive member after reading your mail may point out some mistakes or doubts to you and try to justify their being inactive. You must try to understand their point of view and see if there really is something that can be done this may convert them into active members and also help you understand better which will help you in growing your business.

You can always try new methods in mails that you send to inactive as it really does not matter.


The strength of your Genealogy increases if nothing else.

Your inactive member may find you more helpful than your upline and may become active.

Hope this helps.

See You at the TOP.

Belinda,

For openers, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!"

Now, these PSA's can benefit you in so many ways it's not funny.

Firstly, Just because they are inactive now, does not mean they will always be inactive! At any time they can "get it" and suddenly you have an active affiliate.

Secondly, Now you have a Downline! People you can email. You can send them a weekly newsletter (and get 120VP for the month) You can send them promo emails for items from the TC store (and earn commission and VP when they buy). You can share your and your other Downline members' success with these PSA's (perhaps this motivates them to get active).

Thirdly, When 'pitching' the SFI opportunity, you can now share that you have X number of PSA's in your Downline and that your sponsor actually shares new affiliates with you! (remember to do the same with your downline)

Next, when you are asked how is your business doing, you can share how many affiliates are in your downline.

Even if they never become active, just by existing they give *YOU* daily opportunities to be successful. Use them to practice your sales pitches, motivational emails and so forth.

Don't let their inactivity discourage you. Let your *ACTIVITY*, Encourage them!

Having received inactive or re-assigned PSAs would give you the chance to prove to yourself that you have the ability to make him/her active. Your team leadership can be put to a test. Doing so would require more attention on your part. If you are giving 100% of your efforts in your current roster of PSAs, I think you have to give this inactive re-assigned PSAs more than 100% of your building up your team efforts by doing the following:
1.) Send him/her an email first introducing yourself as his/her new sponsor.
2.) Then, send an “SFIM” or “TM” message asking him/her to confide in you the reason for being inactive. Say it in a “warm” manner such that he/she feels a bit comfortable. For instance, say it in this manner:

“Hi! I’m____________, your new sponsor. I consider it as a privilege to have you in my SFI team. I would like all my team members to be at ease when dealing with each other or when dealing with me. In view of this, you can tell me what your problem is in pursuing your SFI-related activities. As you may know, everything that we do in life has some solutions, in one way or the other. No matter how big or small the problem is. If you tell me your problem, I would see to it that I find a solution for you. I don’t guarantee it, but at least I could give you some hints to solve it. Trust me. Use your “SFIM” or “TM” buttons to have a chat with me. You know, I was in the same shoes as you are today. I was about to quit SFI a few months ago due to my day job demands but I decided to remain in SFI by making some little adjustments in my free time schedule. And as I said, whatever your problem is, there is always a solution that you can work on or adopt. Come on, try me!”

I discovered how to over come the LANGUAGE BARRIER by reassigning certain affiliates.
I've had an increase in activity by giving non-English speaking PSAs to a "new sponsor" in their own country.
The PSAs are now able to communicate and receive the help they need to get going.
Language Reassignment has helped several inactive affiliates and two of my EAs have become Bronze Team Leaders.

I remember when I first started.
I successfully advanced to Gold Team Leader in 45 days.
My Sponsor generously reassigned PSAs to me as an encouragement and reward for this achievement - and I was encouraged and motivated to continue.
Also, I was completely surprised (and very pleased) because I expected to have to recruit my own members.
I had motivation to keep going, even though the new PSAs were inactive.

It was an opportunity for me to practice my leadership skills.
Writing letters, sending reminders, thinking up tips - it was good for me.
Because these affiliates had not even whitelisted OR logged in after joining, I thought "Maybe they aren't even getting the messages."
I had some success by sending messages via their personal email address.
And wording my Subject Lines carefully so as to avoid being filtered out.

It is heartwarming to watch someone else's success and know that I helped.

The benefit of nan-active assigned affiliates is that any time they may start up.

Your upline should NOT offload old non working affiliates, but often if your upline (and many do) get hundreds of affiliates in a day from an advertising campaign, they take 10 and give to each of their downline as incentive to get started or get moving. They cannot select only working ones as nobody knows when they first come in if they will ever work at all, and they are FREE to you, so treat them like fresh affiliates as they are until they to out.

NOTE:
In some cases if you do NOT have any downline this opens up the opportunity for your geneology messages of 30 VP a week.

All affiliates will not work hard, and some may never sign in again, but you will find that one in a bunch who will become a star, so treat each as a potential star.

Accept these as a gift, and learn to develop your email messages of help and encouragement, with you will use over and over again, so remember to save a copy.

All part of a great learning process and potentially a wonder affiliate, so enjoy.
