Michael: Have you noticed that most of the ASK SC answers to this question never accuse the Sponsor of being negligent? The company policy of duplication is torpedoed by the passing of worthless affiliates by the sponsor to the D.L. It begins the downfall of the down line beneath him. The 45% commission should go--not to someone who is a recruiter if he provides disinterested, telephone listings to anyone who will sign up for castor oil if its free.
I am more than a little perturbed with CSAs being transferred to me with an expectation that I must try to rescue them from failing. If they joined at the behest of some fast talking salesman who can double speak any body that is breathing into joining SFI for FREE--whether they have any concept of what is expected of them. The average worth of
these affiliates may be next to ZERO. Some may join thinking it's a government handout, or subsidy. Do you think mass recruiters explain to several hundred enrollees a day what SFI and TripleClicks is? No! That's why Sponsors are NOT REALLY SPONSORS.
The idea of FREE is a good one if it accomplishes its purpose. Why not require a cost to enroll? Ten dollars? $100? $500? $1200? I learned in economics the law of diminishing returns. If SFI were to return whatever the joining cost to the affiliate was, and return one-12th of it monthly, membership would still be FREE, wouldn't it?
Most of those that now clutter the affiliate rolls of SFI would never join. They have no intention of working or investing money to make a profit.
What could be done to make "them" a good sponsor? Nothing! The above plan, if followed would eliminate 90$% of those who do nothing.
The SFI Plan doesn't need to be a "get rich quick scheme" to get sincere workers. It needs to be a system that engenders success for a much larger proportion of affiliates.
Michael: The answer to your question is really a company one. Eliminate the chaff from the wheat. Make stiffer requirements and duties for sponsors. They receive 45% of the commission--make them earn it. Let them pass on only BTL Rank affiliates to their D.L.
instead of some trashy non-workers. That will be showing duplication.
The benefits of the SFI FAST TRACK program and the deadline should be impressed upon every enrollee prior to joining. I suggest that the 24 hour limit be extended to 48 hours to enable a much higher percentage of affiliates to attain it. Not that it takes longer but because different parts of the world aren't even aware of the new PSA so they can communicate the short time limit for the FastTrack Bonus. Many of the SFI Basics could be listed in a brochure handout as a great marketing tool.
It could forewarn them of the importance of staying above the Green Line to capture a possible 600 VP bonus. I hope these changes may become real with SFI. I also hope that Sponsors voluntarily realize their duty is not limited to just recruitment and passing them to a Co-Sponsor.
