Firstly, don't ever give up on them. Continue sending them a weekly message, but start rephrasing your messages slightly.

I recommend you do the following:
1. Share your achievements and success in these mails. This is not being arrogant or boastful, but rather to show these prospects what can be achieved.
2. Put the ball in their court. For instance, in stead of giving too much information on what actions to take to achieve Versa Points, rather tell them how much Versa Points they can achieve, and if they want to know how, they must log in to the SFI Affiliate Centre and send you a message asking you how. Rather then in your email explain to them how to send you a message through Team Mail (This isn't always that clear when you just start out).
3. Tell them about some of your other affiliates and what they have achieved. Once again, don't give too much information in the email, but rather make them log in to the system and send you a message for guidance.

You should never come across as desperate for their business.

Give them the opportunity to connect with you, but make it clear that you will only spend time and effort on them when they show that they want to work with you. If they don't take the initiative, your time will be better spent finding new affiliates.

All the best!

:) You do just that.
Offer the best support that you can give as a team member
and sponsor of your team.
on a weekly basis you send those emails out encouraging them
in whatever way you can.

> Offer your help
> let them know they are not alone
> Offer monthly rewards etc.
> Remind them of the reason they may have joined SFI in the
first place

After doing the best you can do as their sponsor, you turn
your attention on those who are working and give them your
continued support, so as to not let them feel left out of things.

Reward them,encourage and motivate. and like cream rises to the top
so will those affiliates who mean business, whether active or not,
they will show themselves in time .

I know how you feel Jacinta. In fact all team leaders or executive affiliates have affiliates that does not do anything after they register in their down line. Let me tell you the truth, there's no way you can push all your affiliates to be active even with all the encouragement, tips and stuffs like that.

The only thing I suggest you do is never give up. Keep sending messages, ask them how you can help them, keep on explaining to them in simple english how SFI can be of great help to them. Keep on sending appreciative messages, tell them how grateful and happy you are to have them in your downline.

If you have any affiliate in your downline that stays in the same country or not far from you, you can offer to come visit, if they won't be offended, that's if you haven't done that.

The fact is that most affiliates don't understand what SFI is really all about, they are been blinded by the fact that since they can't make money quickly, SFI is not worth it. Also, some affiliates wants to be spoon fed, I mean been told about each and every step they are to take.

Never give up, the affiliates that are not doing anything now, might be your backbone in SFI tomorrow.

There is an old saying many are familiar with, that "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!"

The best thing you could do is to just keep showing your downlines where the "water" is. Stay consistent, positive and encouraging in your communications with them. Use your downline mailer to share your own successes for encouragement as well, for example if you win a Daily Grand drawing, or a Pick The Price contest.

Share with them some tips and links to the SFI pages that offer advice on achieving EA status, ways to promote their own links, and the wide variety of ways they could earn income with SFI and TripleClicks. If you are able to, offer rewards such as a gift certificate for being an active affiliate.

Remain steady in your course and continue to lead by example. You won't be able to make an affiliate become active, but if you continue to present the "water", the ones that are thirsty enough will drink!

Great question - we are all, more or less, faced with this 'problem'... nevertheless, IF they don't want to work it's THEIR problem and not MINE.

So, what you should do... simply you just:
*Keep sending team mails weekly,
*Include them in your stream messages,
*Message them individually let's say, once a month on their listed e-mail address as maybe they don't even log in their SFI account,
*Update your SFI leadership page, and your Facebook/Twitter profile with important achievements you or a member of your team accomplished...

All these actions might make the inactive affiliates at least curious and they just might give SFI a 'second chance'.
By all means avoid aggressive, insistent promoting and messaging as this can only be counterproductive...

After all, remember the SFI Rules of Success and always 'Work with the Workers' and eventually admit that 'Some will, some won't... So what?! Someone's waiting! Next!'... Need I say more...?

I hope this helps.

In fact, there is very little one can actually do with affiliates who never do anything despite of the constant encouragement and offers of support from their sponsors. They have somewhat got stuck-up with the program. They do not see this program from the same perspective as their sponsors. They do not believe that they will be able to make money within this program and they do not trust it to say the least.

The only way for the sponsors to deal with such affiliates is to create a 'trust' with them first. Got to show them that you and only you are the best leader and or their mentor to be followed.Show them the proof that you are successful online, and, that you can lead them to make money online successfully too.
Best of all the latest trend online now is to advertise for your affiliates and find a certain number of affiliates for them to hold on to, and start making money immediately for themselves. Once you are able to do that they will start working for themselves too and be own their own. Hence these same affiliates will not only cut even their cost of being online, but, they will be making extra money.

I have seen a number of programs, where the sponsor works and advertises until his affiliates get 6, 8 or even 10 referrals in their down-line. When this happens, nobody will ever remain inactive or quit.The reason being that they will also be making money.

Try this new trend now, and believe me you will not have a single inactive affiliate in your downline.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Be Blessed.

It is very discouraging to notice that your affiliates either are completely inactive or are not taking your advice to help them be successful. But there really isn't much you can do. You cannot make them log in every day and do their red tabs. You cannot make them purchase items from TripleClicks. You cannot make them respond to your emails and messages. And no amount of encouragement at this point is going to help.

Your affiliates need to want to do this for themselves. SFI is for them and they need to decide how they want to operate their SFI business. Maybe now is not the perfect time for them. It's not meaning they will never do anything with it, but maybe just not right now. Be there to encourage and support them when they are ready. In the mean time, continue including them in your team mail, and if you have a personal email, send them an occasional hello. When I do this, I also include the SFI home page link as well as their ID so they can log back in easier in case they lost this information.

The thing you have to remember are the inactive affiliates usually don't log in after the first day, because most are looking for a the "get quick rich scheme". There is nothing you can do but keep working with your PSA's who log in to SFI and want to build a business. Work with your workers, but always when sending out team mails go to the quick filter and send different team mails to your PSA's that have log into SFI within the last 30 days because you will not want to send them a team mail about the basic steps. They already have gotten it. The team mail you need to send to inactive affiliates would be how to get started and how much your team is growing. This might peak some of the inactive affiliates interest, also on that note, they never get a team mail so they never see it. If they have registered their email, I would send them a personal message. If they still don't respond, I just keep sending a special team mail to inactive affiliates because you never know when they may just log in and see how much your team is growing and want to be part of it. Just like SFI says "Some will, Some won't, Next!" Just keep your active team motivated and worry about the ones that are working the business.

Thanks and remember we all have inactive downline, but you never know when someone make log back in and be a superstar.

Some will, some won't, so what? Next!
The majority of people who sign up will never do anything, but here are a couple of things that work for me:

Personal correspondence is very important. Happy Birthday, National Holidays, natural occurances - any special time that comes up gives you an opportunity to reach out on a personal level. Just a brief note helps your Affiliate understand that you care about them as a person, not as piggy bank. For instance, after the recent typhoon, I sent personal notes to each of my Affiliates in the effected area, and several of them have shown up on my Movers list! Hopefully, you will encounter happier reasons to write, but look for them.


For those about to expire, I send a letter reminding them that there once was a dream - something just out of reach - that caused them to look at SFI in the first place. I sincerely hope that they have been able to reach that goal some other way, but if not, I humbly suggest they take another look at SFI. One or two usually try again.

Keep in mind why YOU came to SFI, what kind of recognition or assistance YOU needed at the beginning, and give that from the heart.

Good luck!!!
