I will let you think this way. What do you think why SFI management are keeping such inactive affiliates for us? I just discovered for my self why? To give you the very good reference is to site here my personal experience. Referring from my genealogy, I know that I have hundreds of inactive affiliates and by knowing that I can include them in my weekly sending of team mail where I could include open ended messages containing self-realizing triggering phrases, I am sure I always sent them realization

First , we all have affiliates that have signed up and no points to date. We are left to wonder why they signed up. Was it because it was free, Was it perhaps they thought they would join and would have quick access to income with a click of a mouse. like so many other affiliate programs out there promising join and start raking n money .. This is sad, because I to was covered with email upon email that this is the one, and while you sleep you wake up a millianaire. The ons that signed up are

Though it can be frustrating as I have experienced it but I still keep communicating. WHY? I received encouragement from others within SFI who sat on it for awhile but eventually got back into it. They are doing well now.

It does not need to be a lengthy email but one that tells them you are here for them to help and to drop you an email whenever. Writing some of the success stories might be good way. At the bottom of each SFI page we have testimonials, giving credit to those who wrote

Only thing that we can do is to try do do our best with weekly newsletters and Team Mails, try to get them involved (again) in SFI. Mostly, mails for inactive affiliates are the same with exception to these who have been really active before, reached some status, so there I try to be more persuasive as they have some more knowledge of SFI and the things they've already done and completed.

My own tactic is that I don't want to loose more time than one more month if a reply isn't received.

THe worst thing you can do is to give up on them. You never know when someone will become active in this business, so you're only hurting yourself if you decide they are not worth your time.
It doesn't take any more effort to send them your regular team mails. Keep them on your mailing lists and keep sending them useful information. One day you may send them something that actually clicks with them and they could turn out to be a star affiliate. Never give up!

This is a very complex and far reaching question, the reasons why people are inactive are numerous and could be related to a whole range of sociological, financial and emotive issues. A Sponsor is like a catalyst that can initiate a chemical reaction, however if the correct chemicals are not present, the catalyst will not initiate anything therefore no reaction. So affiliates who do nothing despite your encouragement, are just those people who are not ready or committed to participate in your reactive

I would say;keep sending them general mails you send to your entire team, encouragement and advice. they might get active in the futureyou just might put something in a mail that blasts them into activity,you never know when you say the wright thing for them.

Some people need time,bad experiences in the past,personal cicumstances may hold them back now. But keeping in touch just may make them trust you.That could be what they need to spring into action.

Untill they do;keep working

The best thing which you can do "DO NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT SUCH AFFILIATES"

You are not required to pray for them. Because this will bring only frustration in your mind which may convert into negativity. My dear friend, Keep remember all seeds are not destined to become tree. I always ensure that I have given my 100% efforts. Afterwards I leave it.

Just send your weekly mail to all affiliates including all inactive affiliates. I give my special attention to all new

For various reasons, SFI is not going to be for everybody. We don't need everybody. We just need a few active PSA's to have a successful SFI home business. Some now active SFI affiliates may have been dormant for weeks before they finally realized the SFI potential for income. Just continue sending at least a weekly Team Mail message to them. We can also consider using their regular e-mail address if they have provided it but we need to be very tactful about using their regular e-mail address. Don't

I suggest we continue to access our Genealogy and send PSA/CSA mail at least once weekly. We may have to change the way that we present SFI to them. The style of writing. The choice of words. We need to captivate and harness their interest and create a paradigm shift to attract their interest. Presentation is vitally important. If they failed to respond to your call then there is very little that we can do. Best that you concentrate on those that are responding to you. However, continue to correspond
