Carry on contacting them and offering support... they may decide to take action after a while. Promote the benefits of the SFI business. Let them know that you are ready to support them when they get started.

Your main focus should be to work with the team members that are taking action. These are the ones that will become leaders in your SFI network.

Don't waste too much time with inactive members, focus most of your time on people that are ready and willing to build a business

This is the general rule in the marketing offline or online that you need to focus on your business and people come and join your team. Sooner or later, they find, that this is a difficult task to earn money by sale and recruiting the people in your down line.They put your personal mail or SFI mail in junk list. Even you are sending the mails, they never look or read your mails.
It is a fact that we are also joining many program's and later we find not suitable to us and mark those emails to

They'd do nothing. I know it well enough because I was one of those affiliates who did nothing for 8 long years. While it's another thing that my immediately sponsor doesn't do anything either, others in my upline constantly support me by sending in regular emails. I am now learning to do the same thing to my downline.

So, the answer: you'd do nothing. You'd move on. You'll continue to encourage. You'll do your best.

Don't give up hope. Work hard to sponsor ( even go offline

Jacinta, there are people who will never "get it". But that’s ok, you see, you are here for the long haul. Remember, there are billions of people in the world and all you want is just a percentage of those people who sees the business as you do. People who understand, this is much better than a paycheck, but it does take learning, dedication and persistence.

I recommend that you continue to build your business, work with your workers and give Constance support. While you

I cannot say any affiliate didn't respond you is not interested in business.

The reasons might be as follows.

1. He couldn't have proper start up guide from the Sponsor first.
2. Even if he had that, he couldn't have proper knowledge to understand it.
3. Mere formal communication couldn't have interested him.
4. Moreover, he could be of mind that becoming rich in a short span of time.

When I started SFI a long back, no one came forward to help me

Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. Next?

SFI is not for everyone. And there will ALWAYS be some who never even login once they sign up. Some will never even verify their e-mail.

Like the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
These people see a good thing, and may even tell others about it, but they do this with every program they join. They just don't get it. They may even think the more programs they sign up for the better.

This is a great question!!! Never give up on them. Keep sending out weekly team e-mails & encouragement. You just never know that maybe 1 day, they will sign on and turn out to be a great affiliate. Some people that join SFI get discourage, because they don't know what to really do first and get over-whelmed with all the information that there is on here. Keep reminding them that you are here for them and will help or answer any questions that they may have about SFI and what to do. I wish you

I can answer this from personal experience. I joined SFI under "Plug-in profits" with Stone Evans. You can find him quite easily in the SFI leader pages. It was a well thought out system but at that point, I wasn't interested in spending more than I had. Besides there were other profit making sites 7 years ago that made quick profits and then disappeared. I got caught up in that.

In short, I wasn't looking for something long-term but only hoping to make it big quickly.

I look to see when they last logged in and did something. I see the total VP for 600VP in the last 90 days.

Since I reassign a lot to support workers so they can get 30 VP a week if they have no PSA, or simply give PSA's more affiliates that MAY eventually come to life.

I can get 5VP for the reassignment to a PSA if there is 600VP in the last 90 days. I reduce the number of GEN1 so that is more manageable for me and hopefully help my PSA's.

If they can practice
