Everyone destined to achieve great things will encounter adversity and naysayers.
My experience is that the worst of these comes from within your closest circles (family, so-called friends, excrete). This is reality: success does not come free. and to achieve it you will have to invest in yourself.

Sure you will have those who argue with you during your early efforts...saying discouraging things and trying to make you sorry for your choices to work toward success... NEVER GIVE UP !!! this is my best tip for success.

I have worked against some of the worst adversity you could imagine for over 20 years to get to the point where I now stand... and starting with the beginning of 2011...all of those people who were trying to tell me "...you cannot succeed..." are about to eat their words.

I am on my way to great things... the question is: are YOU going to be on the path with me?

Best tip #2: True success comes only through ongoing,Faithful teamwork. I plan to encourage all who join my team to work to help each other as I myself work to help every team member in my network as I am able and asked.

Best tip #3: Have a GREAT day... because attitude DOES affect altitude.
Aim High! Dream Big!

Hello Zina:
I've done this same question many times and believe me it is not for lack of communication, because I have tried by all means to contact with the descending line and it has proved impossible. Only one of the affiliates is in permanent contact and it is not pure coincidence, is fighting with much success to reach its EA2.
I would like to be in contact daily with the Group of people that make up the team together to analyze possibilities, eliminate doubts, obtain benefits and feel the joy of growth in this business together. This is not a criticism of anyone. Really we don´t know the aspirations that led them to join SFI, or difficulties of any kind that other people have but I would like to convey that personally and with all the hardship that I have, I believe in this program and am agrees that it will not be today for tomorrow, but if in the near future will achieve what I have proposed. If members of my team are seeing this message I ask that don't give up nor be discouraged, there are many alternatives that allow us to grow not as fast as we would like, but with a solid base.

I truly do appreciate this question. It is not only down-line members that can give up on SFI but it also applies to those of us who support a down-line too.

I find communication to be the #1 strategy in supporting down-line members to continue on in their development of their own SFI business. SFI is built on co-operation and support, thus communication is an important feature of such.

It is important to communicate, not only about SFI, but also to communicate with down-line members about "WHY" they have joined SFI so that their passion can continue to motivate them to press on when times feel slow and/or difficult. Understanding another person's "WHY" will also enable you to improve your role as a support to be a custom-fit for their needs too.

Communication on a regular basis provides comfort to those who receive your messages that you are present and actively there as a support for not only your own efforts but also for the efforts of your down-line members.

BIG question!

Id say its a case of 'Different Strokes for different folks!'

You HAVE to find out what motivates them and make sure they understand how they can tailor SFI to meet THEIR strengths.

You also have to accept that this wont be right for everybody. The person who wants to sit back and make a million for not doing much is NEVER going to be a good team-member. They have to be realistic.

The key is communication. You will be able to weed out who's serious as long as you are in communication with them.

The bigger picture in SFI only becomes apparent after a minimum of 6 months. Make sure they understand this.

The most important task is to show them help and support. People want to feel they are a part of something bigger, something that makes sense and has opportunity.

Show them that you are not going to give up during the hard times and that you are relying on them to do the same.

Explain to them that persistence is the key and they will have your support every step of the way.

Be sincere, truthful and compassionate. The people you really want to spend time with well hang in there.

The question actually is about two different actions. Quitting SFI and Giving up on SFI.
The one who has Quit can be deemed as opted out. So our time will be well spent and our efforts worthwhile if we concentrate on those who are Giving up on SFI
While we deal with the problem of affiliates giving up on SFI, we find that there are people who just signup but do not even confirm their email ID, which is mandatory for registration with SFI and those who do not do a single action since signup. It may not be worthwhile to look for remedy in these cases. But it will really be worthwhile to turn towards the people who earnestly started as you and me with SFI and at certain point of time will feel like giving up.
Most will agree with me that after the easy and fast scoring of 1500 VPs in the first month,the testing time usually comes in second or third month. That is when one realizes that one has to score selling points of 1500 VPS in addition to the required action points.
It is too early to have an active downline, for most of us want to have a feel of success in SFI even before approaching our 'warm; market. Not withstanding all the tips about earning the required Versa Points without a Standing Order which fetches us 1500 VPS, it is inevitable that one has to have one or more Standing orders to progress well in SFI, that too month after month for a few months. Because the other methods advocate playing T-Time, bidding, winning in draws in Daily grand and E365 or Wave 3 draws for earning VPs and these need not solely depend on your hard work. This is the time they pause and take stock of the situation.
'To give up? or to go ahead?'
So what can we do? Apart from the daily actions and other advocated actions, it will go a long way if a deserving one gets a gift certificate of $10. One can earn more than 500 VPs by judiciously using them. It will definitely help them to stretch the points tally. Pre-information about the quantity of CSAs they will be getting on attaining certain milestones, holds out hope and can motivate them to continue to work.
They might have been discouraged by reading a few posts of difficulty and failure which brings dismay in the minds. But giving them the links to the great tips and forum posts of endurance and success of the SFI leaders,at regular basis will work as tonic and inspiration to the downline affiliates.
Sharing the knowledge which we have gained also gives them a real start up.
Convincing them to join a co-op too helps.
Leading them till they become BTL should suffice, for by then they would have gathered enough knowledge and confidence to continue on their own.

Hi Zina!

In regards to "How you can keep your downline from quitting and giving up on SFI? I truly believe that "quitting" isn't something we have control over. All we can do is provide them dedicated assistance, support, advise and our time. It's up to your PSA's and CSA's to realize the HUGE opportunity that SFI has provided them.

I've had many on my downline become inactive, however it's not a burden I will let rest on my shoulders. Nor should you. As longs your providing 100% support to them via weekly emails, phone calls, making yourself accessible via Skype and all other sources of communication you've done your part. One thing you must ALWAYS remember you can only provide the tools for your downline to obtain there SUCCESS. They have to be willing to do the work.

Hang in there. Wishing you much Success!

The best way you can keep your downline from quitting or giving up on SFI is frequent communication. Through this medium, you will discover if he/she is going through challenges. Also, you can send gifts as encouragements, for example, you can transfer tcredits or gift certificates and state how he/she can use them and be successful. Also, you can guide them on how they can obtain tcurrency by directing them to ECAs in their locality. And as a leader, you should endeavour to lead by example.

NOTE: Most importantly, dont stop communicating. If you find out he/she does not respond to your mails, check his/her language and translate your messages in a way he/she will understand.

I hope this helps.

Well, This is a Million dollar question and core of SFI income.

First once you have been informed about a new PSAs or CSAs you could send them a welcome letter and ask them to just log in daily and do To DO list and you could refer your movers column and send them a message asking if they need any assistance and tell them you are there to help them.

You will see soon how serious they are and for them you could send some gift certificate if they are is some sort of difficulties.

After doing the above as well if they wish to quit there is nothing you could do except you sponsor affiliates as much as possible until you get five serious downlners and ask them to do same (duplication)
