To get affiliates engaged and converse regularly, I would suggest the following;
1. Send a welcoming team mail for new affiliates introducing yourself while they are on line. The idea is to make them understand that SFI is a real internet business opportunity and that their sponsor is real. If the affiliate replies, then make the most of it and tell them about SFI and give the Getting started tips, which for me is the SFI BASICS and the LAUNCHPAD lessons. Tell them to contact you if they need further assistance.
2. Monitor their performance regularly and if they start working on their business, give them more tips or simply send them a mail just to say hi and offer any assistance. If they do not do anything, give them a couple of days and send them team mail again offering any assistance.
3. For those who do not reply, just keep sending weekly mails. For those who start to do their work daily, you have to monitor to find out what time of the day(your local time) this affiliate logs in to work on SFI then try to communicate at that time period as it will seem the most convenient time for them.
4. Try to freely discuss your experience with them, your successes and also your mistakes so that they can avoid those mistakes. This will engage the affiliate to converse with you regularly because you have built a relationship on trust.

Thanks and I hope this will be of any help.

Engaging affiliate with you in conversion is very important for declining any option of quieting. As everybody knows here, It is never easy to build a strong team in SFI and start making money with no effort. I have some solutions for you, if you implement them properly

1. Be online almost every time you can in SFI (even if you are not near computer, just keep it log in). By this, even if your affiliate belongs to a different time zone, have a better probability to chat with you.

2. Always reply to chat started with any of your down member at the earliest.

3. Always personalise your team mails by your team member's name. This clearly prompts then to give a reply to your mail.

4. Be active in stream post. If you can post messages which really inspires them, you will be always in touch with them.

5. Must add them to your personal networks like gmail, skype,facebook. It is very important to discuss their problems personally, and you have no better place than these social medias.

6. Keep incentives for your affiliates at certain achievements and also at times for inactive affiliates. The incentive for inactive affiliates can be inspiring business books. Trust me, this method has worked to reactivate even the most dead affiliate.

Make these your practice and you will be engaging your affiliates in right way.

Not everyone will be responsive to you, but that is okay. You make the effort from the beginning.

First, send your welcome message (making sure you include your photo). Keep communicating weekly (or more often). If anyone does respond, even just thanking you for your message, respond immediately, if possible. Answer any questions or comments you may receive. Of course, this means you have offered your assistance and requested feedback from them in your messages. Offer rewards for milestones they have reached, like reaching EA or any Team Leader Level. Don't just write email messages, but use the Stream and maybe even the Forum. Just be there and prove yourself a friend, in good times and bad times. Get to know them as real people, for that is what they are.

If there are those who just don't respond, just keep writing to them weekly as long as they are affiliates. The only way you would stop writing to them is if you were asked by an affiliate to stop writing. In that case, the affiliate wants to opt out. If that is the case, show the affiliate how to opt out and just move on.

Just remember, don't be that affiliate who does not make an effort to communicate.

I think you just need to do 3 things :

1. Be a role model, Most of the serious affiliates look up for true leaders that will
show them the way or give them inspiration on how to successfully do this business.
That means you should show it to them through your actions which is clearly
manifested by your badges.

2. Help them, You must always be willing to help your downline who ask for help. When
they need information or guidance you must always be there to help them. The faster
you answer them the more credible you become and will probably stay because of the
genuine service they get.

3. Inspire them, There are lots of inspirational quotes you can find in the internet
from famous and known people or author. You can send this through your stream.

If you want your affiliates to be engaged you must not act as a big boss. Because they are members of your team and you will not succeed in SFI business without them and their help. Try to become close to them.

I may say I am friend with my 1st generation of PSA. But I am available for them always. They can contact me on Facebook, Team Messages, SFI chat, Gtalk, Skype or any other way anytime. Take care of their VP, e365 contest and when ends their current round, calculate their VP at the end of the month and give them suggestions how to make it and get new or renew existing SFI status.

I think this is the only way which will bring you to DUPLICATION. If you do not take care of them you can not expect they are going to work well. And then they will not succeed neither you do.

Take care of all your PSA and esspecialy about your 1st generation and you will build strong team. This is one of the most important ways which leads to succees in SFI business.

I hope this helps.

I think the best way to keep you affiliates engaged and conversing regularly is to make sure that we communicate with them regularly.

It's no different than what we do in our everyday lives be it the workplace or home. What do we do to manage our children/wife/husband/team members in office?

1. Maintain communication rigor.

2. Keep the communication channel open. Voluntarily reach out and communicate.

3 Understand their needs and help in whatever way we can. For example - Understand what's bothering them , provide them incentives, keep motivating them.

4. Communicate with open ended questions which will make them reach out to you. for E.g. Can I do something that will help you achieve EA status?

5. Use the skype to its limits. Affiliates find it easy to communicate when they can put a face to the name. Gives them more confidence in reaching out.

6. Offer webinar's for team members of our affiliates. Makes them believe that we want to make sure that they succeed and open a channel engagement and communication which is fueled by trust. The most powerful tool of them all - TRUST.

Warm regards,

As soon as an affiliate has signs up, welcome them to 'THE TEAM'. Introduce yourself not only as their team leader, but also as their personal guide to success with SFI.

This will make them feel comfortable to ask you for assistance and guidance when ever they need it.

Build a relationship with them both within and outside SFI. For example; send them a friend request on facebook, LinkedIn, or some other social network, so you can get to know them as 'people' not just 'affiliates', and they can get to know you.

Email them or call them up if you can. This will assure them that you are a 'real, live person' who is genuinely interested in establishing a connection with them and not just a digital response or phony name at some business response service.

Share with them some current personal experiences like the latest DVD you watched or your thoughts on some current world event etc; not just SFI business related matters.

Do what you would usually do to build relationships with people you have tangible contact with in your everyday life. (Although you have never met, seen or touched them, your affiliates are 'real people' too.)

Do this and you will make strong connections and friends for life from all over the world: That has to be one of my most favorite things about SFI.

Not an easy task, to be sure.

I make good use of the Team Message icon in the Genealogy page and on the Movers Page.
I use it to respond to the following;

-Check your active affiliates progress every day, on the Movers Page. Take advantage of every opportunity to recognize their progress and achievements.
-Mention or complement a recent contribution in the Forum.
-Review their General Ledger, look for actions they may have overlooked or missed.
-Offer special rewards to encourage next level of achievement.
-Direct to specific information, you think your affiliate should be aware of.
-Leave a message of support or encouragement.

And in every communication, be sure to leave with an invitation for questions,
concerns or problems they may be having.

I, also find, the more "active" you are the easier it is for your affiliates to feel comfortable communicating with you.

For example, regularly posting in the Stream, maybe every other day,
instead of three times once a week.
Offering your help, comments or assistance in the Forum.
Making sure you send out a Team Email once a week.

I have couple of affiliates who prefer a phone conversation. If possible, try to make yourself available.
There is Skype, Google+hangouts, Facebook Fan and Groups in FB and others that also can be utilized.

The most important item is to be available.
Stay vigilant in monitoring your affiliates and look for those
opportunities to show you are a sponsor that cares.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
If you want people to engage and converse with you, then do it with them first.

Ask them how they're doing and if they need help. They may try to go it alone for a while, thinking that they don't need any help, or maybe they just don't want to bother
you, but if you keep sending them messages and reminding them that helping them helps you too, they may begin to send you e-mails. When they do, answer as soon as you possibly can and give them the help they need or direct them to the pages they're looking for.

Sometimes they don't know what to do or may not even know how to copy and paste. Don't assume that they know what to do once they get to these pages. So send them where they can get the most viable information on the topics they need help with. If there's a forum post, send them the link. If there's something in Ask Gery, send them there. And if you know how to do something and can show them how to do it, then send them the instructions.

Two of my affiliates were just going on facebook and just pasting the links. They didn't know how to advertise. I simply sent them some instructions with a link on where to find the text ads and how to find safelists and traffic exchanges to use them with.

You may wish to go to your geneology manager and filter the people who have less than 1500 VP for the month and send them an e-mail linking to the forum post on how to make EA. Offer your help first and you'll be surprised how many will come to you, even when they're not in your downline, A2A members as well, it shouldn't matter. The more you help, the more the universe helps you.
