Hello!

I have already read some answers to this question and what they all basically say is:
- support and explain as much as you can
& if it doesn't work, let them go and work with the workers.

I agree completely, but here are some additional thoughts:

- does your downline respond to your emails and other efforts to stay in touch? If they don't (and most of mine don't), there is not much you can do.

- does most of your downline come from the same country? Is there anything specific about their situation that demotivates them? Maybe being active in A2A can help.

What people who want to quit forget is that quitting any job, SFI included, WILL NOT solve your problems. You need to have a plan of what to do next, a business plan,and be prepared to work hard. And I am sure they don't have that. If they did, they would LOVE SFI.

Best regards!

Honestly speaking you can't make their decisions & build their business & their teams for them,they make thoses decisions for themselves.You also do not hold yourself responsiblewhen team members fold,not everyone is meant to be here..You will loose some & gains some.What you can do is Lead with good honestest,steadfast,passionate Leadership.You have to earn & grow your own true passion & daily success as a Leader.Once your a true believer & successor,your team will follow & duplicate what your doing too.You have to always continue at doing your very best.You have to stay a step ahead of your team at all times.Two steps is even Better.You must be honest & respectable of all your team members.You don't own them,or make demands on or of them.You must alway be positive,encouraging,caring & supportive.always sending out team support,updates,any new team insentive.Always offer to assists & guide them & follow through at all times.
While your making sure to encourage their own personal drive & independence.You should never stop encouraging them to comunicate with you & their own teams too.You should every now & then team mail your entire team.(once a month is great).
The bottomline is are you a believer? Are you successful at SFI/TC? Are you a winner or a looser here? Yes,I'm asking these questions,cause until your confident & believing & achieving,can you refer,coach & lead anyone else?
Your Team Leadership is a total reflection & entention of yourself.Example: Are you your own Boss? Do you have your own home base business? Is your business safe,secure,supportitive & successfully strong?Does your home business truly work? Are you making any money,making profit? If,your answers are,I'm not sure,I do'nt know? Then are you ready to run your own business,be your own Boss?
Are you ready to manage your own team?
Its not as overwelming as you think if all your answers are yes,to the above or most of them.You have to work with your own experience & always be willing to stay on top of all valuabe new experiences & information going forth.
Your best bet is to do & be your best for your team & take note & special care of your team members that show & producing wllingness & loyaly, daily working ability.
Praise them for the goodness & call them out,on their short comings & when theirnot pulling their share of the weight in a firm but supportive,I notice this & that not happening with you.do you need assistance?
Handle your business & manage your team with winners knowledge & skills & your unconditional love & blessings.
Your best top team members will shine through & other members will also be willing to make their climb too.Good luck.

Very good question

Motivate your downline by sending out your team mails.
State your achievements with SFI and make them believe that it is very possible for them to do the same.
Making your downline see your achievements like winning tcredits, getting new psa's, reaching BTL and STL and winning a prize will motivate them to do the same.

Remember to set an example as your downline looks up to you as their leader and they want to see their sponsor succeed to believe that they can also succeed.

Make your downline believe that you believe in them and as their sponsor you are their to support them every step of the way to ensure they will succeed.

This is a tough question! Not a fixed formula but a combination of several aspects.

The bottom line is those who become affiliates of SFI have to be convinced that they want to be part of this initiative. They must have a basic understanding of the concept. (Not a get rich overnight scheme) Sadly many join out of curiosity and when this is the case the outcome is obvious, they quit.

They ought to have a desire to persevere and have great expectation so the chances of getting weary is slim.

The team leaders have a great role to play in keeping their down lines motivated and remind them of the bigger picture. Some fun and challenge can be brought in to make them be anxious for what's next. If the leaders are doing well the down lines will have a desire to follow. The leaders must show their down lines that they value them and are interested in their success as well. let's do it together so that we all win.

Work Hard win big mentality!

I was on the verge of quitting at one time. I had to look back and ask myself the reason WHY I had joined SFI. My reason of joining is to improve my way of life so that I can become a source of blessing to my family and those that are less fortunate than myself beginning with my own family first and foremost. This necessitates that I earn money. In order to earn, I have to work and work extremely hard by building up my business until I am at least comfortable with the outcome.
I have to be motivated continuously and on top of my game. I have to do everything that SFI has taught me beginning with my sfi homepage that I have to access daily. Looking at ways and means to develop my business as provided by SFI. Setting SMART goals and review my goals everyday to ensure that I am on track. I have to be consistent with everything that is required of me. Spend my time wisely and invest prudently. Continue to read everything that is being provided and at times re-visit my Launchpad and research other topics to cultivate the interest to stay with SFI.
Above is the advise that I intend to share with my downline. Be Blessed!

With a downline there are winners and quitters. You are looking for the Diamond in the ruff. Let's say you have barn that is full of hay. You loose this million dollar diamond. You know it is somewhere in the huge pile of hay. Where do you begin? or Do you give up? More than likely you will start whereever you have to and search as long as you need to to find it. Think of your SFI Business in the same way. You are looking for that Daimond in the ruff. What if you had to go through 1200 people to find the one that makes you 100's of thousands of dollars for the rest of your life? Would that be worth all your effort? That would be a BIG YES!

So to answer your question about keeping your downline from quitting and giving up. SFI says it well. Some will, Some won't, Someone is waiting, Who's Next.... You just have to realize what you have in your SFI Business and share it with others. You have a Gold mine, You have a Diamond mine. You want others to know about it and what it can do for them.

Have a Blessed Business

1. Support--your support at their crucial time is very important/ give words of hope and examples of how you yourself handled the same situation earlier.

2. Find out the reason WHY they want to quit? IF it is financial--help out with Giftcards or TC---dont leave them on their own to struggle!

3. The hard workers will agree with you and take your advice to move on BUT the quick money makers will make this en excuse and you cannot stop them giving up as that is their own choice.Remain friends with them in case they do decide to come back.

4. Ask them each day how they are getting on and remind them if they fail to do their TO DO LIST actions or anything else.

Your constant guiding and support will tell them they are not alone in SFI and they will think again befire quitting.

Have a great day!

The best way to keep your downline of giving up and the giving up of SFI is to you to lead them by your example :

1. Treat SFI like a Business, This means that they have something to invest. Time or
money, or both. If they do not have money then they need to invest time. If they are
enough devoted to what they do then they will be rewarded.

2. Guided him to study the SFI system, Many Affilates give up after the first or second
month Because they all want to come to a quick profit, and because many of them do
not fully understand the SFI system.

3. Lead them by your example, The best way to keep your downline of giving up and the
giving up of SFI is depends on you as a Team Leader, This means that you should treat
your downline as you treat yourself to achieve success

I have read some of the answers to your question. They are all right on. When they say that you can't keep people from quitting, they are exactly right. I have been around "Network Marketing" for 10 years, and everywhere I see any statistics about retention I find that about 2% - 3% is about the best you can expect. The other 97% or 98% are not going to do anything with it.

Too often people have no idea what is involved in building a business online, and when they realize there is work involved and that money must be earned they are not willing to make the commitment

Don't get discouraged by the few that actually work their business. Just keep sponsoring, look for the ones that are working, and be there to support them. Those are the ones that will help to get you where you want to be.

I believe the best way is by sharing personal success story. Or, if you are a new affiliate, you can share success story of some of your upline (but ask them first).

Make sure to educate your downline (and by doing that, you will also educate yourself). Explain to them all income streams. Some of them are maybe not talented for recruiting, but they could sell TripleClicks products. Or someone might have own store; that person should become an ECA. Some will be better in recruiting ECAs than in recruiting affiliates: why not, it can make nice residual income. Maybe someone has great bidding tactics: (s)he can earn by winning the Pricebenders auctions and reselling won items.

But giving up is the worst thing one can do. Because... "Winners never quit and quitters never win." Vince Lombardi

Good luck to you and your downline!
