This is probably the most difficult question to answer of all: how to convince an SFI affiliate not to quit.

First of all I would ask them why they want to quit: lack of money, time, experience, understanding, language,or any other thing that may be frustrating for them. If I can give immediate help, I do.

Second, I would tell them the facts:

1. Let them know that if they quit they will lose, not only all of their hard earned CSAs but also their PSAs.

2. They must maintain the rank of EA to keep their CSAs but will never lose their PSAs as long as they don’t quit. I offer to continue to help their PSAs on a one-on-one basis so that if they choose to come back their business may have grown in their absence. (I also let them know, tactfully that I will never lose those PSAs, so they don’t think I’m being selfish, but rather have their best interests at heart, which I sincerely do.)

3. Give them the full disclosure of the opportunity that they will be giving up: royalties from sponsoring active ECAs, free web page to promote and sell their own products as an ECA, break down the numbers ($$) if they sponsor 5 Leaders who sponsor 5 Leaders and so on.

4. Make sure they know how they can be successful by using their own talents and interests. Find out what they are and work with them by keeping in close contact.

There is a general tendency among people to become rich
quickly without taking any pain and effort. Therefore, before sponsoring an affiliate, we must make them aware and understand the concept of it. Tell them that it is surely not a getting rich quick scheme but if you go slow and steadily it will allow you to earn residual income in the time to come and understanding this concept, a person joins in SFI will not quit. As a sponsor it is vital to be in touch with the PSAs and CSAs frequently and give them guidance for their progress.

Quitting from this program generally happen due to lack of guidance and
financial and psychological assistance from the sponsor. If you are an awesome sponsor, surely your down line will enjoy working under you and will not think of
quitting from the program. Bottom line is to give encouragement to your team
both by regular contacts and extend your assistance for their progress.

Trust this helps.

I have heard many affiliates answer this question, and the simple fact is you cannot stop any of your downline from quitting. All you can do is offer your services as their upline, and try to explain the best way to proceed with SFI.

I do still feel that the initial training could be more simplified with perhaps some video tutorials in the "Launchpad" training. Its important to keep the attention of new affiliates and focus their efforts, as many will not see the value of this system untill they have made a concerted effort to learn. Also, a stronger emphasis on the fact that REAL money can be earned from VP's, and that your commissions will be paid at the end of the month once you have earned more than 20$.

There are plenty of affiliate programs that deal with virtual money, and very few of them pay what they say in commissions, so it is important that SFI emphasises that the affiliate will get their commissions as long as they maintain their EA status ect.

There are no easy answers to this question, simply because one answer doesn't fit all reasons affiliates want to quit. I don't believe we can keep them from quitting if they decide to do so. We can only show them what SFI has to offer and what it is doing for us, explain the benefits and hope that is enough.
If they are not prepared to be patient, taking the time to learn the business and put forth the required effort to see their dreams come true, you should leave them to make their own choice.

That may help them to keep SFI in mind when they go elsewhere and find things more difficult.
If they fail to see SFI as viable for them now, and we don't let them feel obligated to accept our recommendation of SFI, they may come back and rejoin and become productive affiliates. On the other side, if we convince them to stay against their will, most likely, they will be inactive, and that would do no one any good.

Encourage and educate but leave the decision to them, for in fact, that's the best you can do at that stage.


Best wishes and all the best for success.

Hello everyone! This is indeed a very good but difficult question. Why do I say this?
Well, I have been in SFI for a few months now and I am really enjoying this experience. I am so enthusiastic about my new found job. Thanks to my sponsor. I think everyone who registers to be a part of this SFI business should feel the same way and so, they would want to continue working the business. But, this is not so.

I have had quite a number of persons tapping into the business but have not continued. You see many persons want quick money - they want it now or else....They are not willing to work to achieve. They fail to communicate no matter how much you try to encourage them to do so. They literally refuse the FREE training that SFI offers. After all, where else can this kind of information be found without a cost? The attitude towards the business was not right from the beginning. Consequently, I think, in fact I know that it is difficult to persuade individuals to continue in a project for which they have already made up their minds to discontinue, for one reason or another.

Duplication definitely works but not with persons who have a negative mind sets. There are individuals who have been registered with SFI. From the moment they registered they have not moved from zero points. When asked what were their apprehensions, two of the most prevalent answers were: " I do not understand what to do" or "I cannot find the time". No matter how much assistance and reassurance they get, this is to no avail - there are no further responses or communication.
As the saying goes "You can take the donkey to the well but you cannot force it to drink". "Gold mining requires digging" and if they are not intrinsically motivated to dig then they are going to quit. There is no way you can stop them from taking that action.

So, my friends keep this in mind. Persons who decide to quit have already made up their minds. Leave them and continue your search for those who desire a real business. That is what SFI is - A real business. There is only time for persevering and assertive workers - workers who have a purpose; workers who set goals.

An excellent question, and one that has puzzled many new as well as experienced business builders. There are many reasons people lose interest:
• everyday life is busy
• no perceived results
• some rejection from family/friends
• someone with negative opinions, and many other reasons

The fact is in many cases they just see the work and the rejection and they forget why they signed up in the first place. Nobody starts a business just to enjoy the business, they do it to earn some rewards or to improve their lifestyle. They do it to pay off the house or to buy a house or to have a holiday overseas. They do it to get out of debt or to buy a new car, to renovate their kitchen or help family or charity. There are thousands of reasons why people join this business, but no one does it simply to work the business!

The point is they had a dream of achieving something and that is what you need to bring them back to. They usually have become bogged down in the tasks instead of focusing on WHY they joined! As sponsors we need to understand what motivates them, we need to know WHY they signed up and them help them to keep focused on their dreams. Successful people focus on the goals and then the actions become just steps on the path to achieving the goals.

Find your affiliate's goals and dreams and help them to remain focused and you will have much fewer quitters!

With some people there will be nothing we can do to keep them from quitting. But there is a chance to keep some from quitting. Sometimes all they need is a bit of encouragement, just keep encouraging your team and let them know that even though their business is growing slowly that it does take time and they will be successful if they do not give up.

You must be active yourself and do the things you tell others to do. The leader does not sit back giving out commands, the leader goes into battle with his/her team following them.

It's far more encouraging to do things as a team than to feel like you have to do it yourself. Be a team player and work WITH your team. Don't hover over them as though you are superior, just be "one of them." Your team will be far more encouraged and you will see a lower rate of failure in your team.

Thanks for asking such a question that's common for most Affilates.

Regarding to the question i want to say first.

" People will follow you, are you ready to lead them? "

There are some tips according to my opinion.

1 . Don't worry about the quiting of people.

2 . Working in SfI is my own decision not others.

3 . Believe on yourself that you can do it.

4 . First Check the System and then believe on it.

5 . Keep in mind who is respnsible for your success, you or others?.

6 . besides worrying about others, prepare your self (by learning SFI BASICS, LESSIONS and other training materials provided by SFI management free.).

7 . Learn.. learn... learn and become a master degree holder of SFI.

This is a great question but very difficult to provide a single all encompassing answer fits all. It really depends on the type of person you are and what makes you unique so you can leverage that uniqueness to server as a benefit to your downline. Be yourself and focus leveraging your strengths.

Now, there are two things too understand with this question or it will drive you bonkers trying to keep them to find out that they just quit.

1st. You cant make anyone do anything they already decided is not for them. You should not look at team building as what you should do to keep an affiliate from quitting. That is counter productive and actually a waste of time and effort. Don t chase after people that show no or are lacking interest as you need to divert your energy to the flip side which I will touch in a second. For those side liners that sit or take no action or doubt or impose self limiting beliefs, just continue to send your weekly or monthly communications. That is all you can do.

Bottom line you cannot win and you won't win everyone so don't bother wasting time.

2nd - if you have to convince someone to not quit then they are not likely the person for your team, AT THAT TIME. This does not mean they bad people or they won't show up later. The point is it is not the time for them so they won't be useful to you if your always playing the convincer. Don't convince, but, rather let them come to you with zero doubt. The opposite. They know you can help them achieve their goals. So they chase you.

So, the real solution to this is don't try to keep people from quitting but rather do things that make them want to stay or rather want to be here. They are here not because you had to pull their arm but because they truly want to be here. That is the KEY,

How do you do this? Easy. Be an awesome sponsor. Be yourself and follow the rules of success and follow the ones who are successful and duplicate them. What are some of these traits?

Communicate , communicate, communicate! Should I say it again? Sure....Communicate. You must communicate and next, LISTEN to your downline affiliates who show interest. Ask probing questions like why they are here what is it they want. To achieve. Etc.

FIND THEIR PAIN POINTS. Everyone of us here has a reason for being here. They are looking for someone or something or a solution to their problem. Be that person to emphasize and provide that solution via the SFI basics and rules of success.

-->> Work with the workers.
-->> Treat your downline like they are your life line.
-->> Don't just email but have team meetings, webinars, Skype one on one.
-->> Show them that you really do have a keen interest in their success.
-->> Push them to do things but help them in times of crisis where warranted.
-->> No one is perfect and all of us have a bad day or month.
-->> Issue a TC gift cert to help someone make EA2 one month if they are proven action takers.
-->>Lead by example and show them by revealing your leadership page.
-->>What you do and your badges speaks,everything.
-->>Train them to teach their downline the same.
-->>Motivate them as they require it. Daily, weekly etc. Provide the spark get their rockets firing.
-->>You control your every move and everything you do in a positive way to help others will attract affiliates to you not you chase them.

Do this and you won't need to convince anyone and the total opposite occurs. Your affiliates will gravitate to you like no tomorrow.

Good luck!

Hi Zina

Thank you for asking such an important question.

I'm going to start by saying that the difference between staying in SFI and quitting is determined by mainly two things.

(1)Interest - If your downline are interested in discovering how SFI works,for themselves then it becomes easier for them to want to continue with this business.Even if they get little or minimal encouragement from their upline,the drive they have will carry them forward.

(2) Commitment - In any form of business commitment is key in determining the success or failure of that business.With SFI it's no different.The significant part of the similarity is that SFI is an online business that offers Free training and does not require formal qualifications to run and operate it.That's where commitment comes in.
Your downline need to show commitment,they have to want to do the business.

You know it is said that "you can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink".
What you can do is to feed the horse a bit of salt so that I will want to drink on its own.
What is this salt?
Simple!Show & tell.Your own experience with SFI whether you are a few months or have years in the business is one of the best ways to encourage your downline.
