Family & friends are very close to everybody and effect one's actions & thinking in many ways. To prove yourself right, you have to show them something solid. New affiliates are lacking experience and they are in need of somebody with proven success. Their upline at SFI are ones who can provide them a solid example to follow. So they should assist them at this stage, paying special attention to some important points as follows:
1. This must be cleared that SFI is not a quick rich system. It is a real business and have to work hard devotedly and be patient & persistent. At the end they are going to earn unbelievable income.
2. Offer them full of your assistance, recognition, encouragement by rewarding them Gift Certificates, TCredits, Re-assignments, Free shares in Co-ops etc. Until you see that they are up and running on their own.
3. In communications with them be like a real friends discussing all the aspects of life, other than business as well.
4. Show them your benefits and earnings you are getting which will encourage them.

This is why it is important to establish a good relationship right away with your new PSAs and CSAs. By relationship, I mean a friendly but respectful business relationship. Business people don't always talk business. They also talk about family, hobbies, interests, ans yes, business. When you have this kind of ease of talking with an associate, you have more of a feel for how he is perceiving his business.

Hopefully this will give you time to counter act any negativity from the home. But before this, you should always be positive about the business to him. Be honest, there are a number of discouraging factors, but turn them into challenges that have solutions.

If he is being accused of wasting time, help him to figure how he values his time and where he should spend his time. My goodness, families turn the television on when the kids get home from school and watch it constantly until 11:30 pm. And then it's back on in the morning. To me that's time that could be spent working on this business. What are his priorities?

We spend time on SFI in two ways: our daily hours doing the business, and the months and years it takes to develop it and maintain it.

We must encourage him to keep doing the daily work, including putting in ads. But his spouse and children want his attention, so he has to juggle his time around. Maybe do some in early morning, or later in the evening or after spouse goes to sleep. Many cell phones allow you to do the Daily's during spare time.

As to the question of weeks, months, years, you need to help him understand that the more advertising he can do, the faster his team will build and the shorter time it will take to realize some good money. This also requires doing all that SFI says to do and more, read, participate in Forum and Ask SC, keep corresponding. Concentrated effort brings faster results than hit and miss effort.

Help him set some realistic goals. Keep encouraging him, one pat on the back won't compare to daily draws from the family. Ask him how he is doing on his goals. Help him to figure out how to meet them or to readjust them if necessary. Goals are to help you succeed, not shame you for missing them.

Finally, show him how to actually make money with SFI, selling and using TC products, selling his thing on his T Connect Page, becoming and ECA, etc.

A good question and the one I am recently facing it. To keep such affiliates motivated, you must lead by an example of yourself. You must assure them they will be rewarded for their efforts. By the time you can help them in many ways:

1.Transfer T Credits to them.
2.Reward a gift certificate.
3.Help them in advertising and marketing TripleClicks.com (as you know it is a huge source of income)
4.Reassign an affiliate or two to them whom they can train and earn for their progress.
5.You can give them a share in your co-op or S-Builder.
6.You can ask them to develop team of affiliates by using various sources of advertisement.

Be sure to reply to each of their mails and assure your all possible and sincere efforts so that he/she can prove their family/friends wrong.

First of all, I'd like to know how do you know that their family and friends are telling them that? Secondly, if your family and friends are telling you that you are wasting your time - who do you believe? Do you believe in what you know to be true about SFI? Or Do you believe what your family and 'friends' are telling you? If you you believe that you can achieve your dream with SFI, then go for it! But if you don't then I wish you all the best in whatever you decide that you can do with purpose, passion, and consistency. To find great success, surround yourself with people who have great success. The old adage is true - "Birds of a feather - flock together!" & "Misery loves its company!" Many 1000s of affiliates are coming to SFI looking for financial independence - how bad do you really want it? If you do - the go for it 150%! Then, in 2 years when your making from the comfort of your home what many don't in a year's wages then you will have silenced the nay sayers!

I tell people not to tell their family and friends what they are doing, because everyone does not have an entrepreneurial mindset. To create a successful business, you need to find other entreprenuers. You can do that by advertising. The most important thing is to be persistent and NEVER EVER give up.

Friends/family have a great impact on a person's mind and if they discourage, the person is forced to review his/her decision. Same thing happens here.

So, you before asking him/her to join make the thing clear that it is not a "One day billionaire" scheme, but an open business where you are your own boss free to decide the amount of work, amount of training and also the amount of money to be earned. So it is more dependent on the affiliate rather than you.

Next is you can assure him/her full support or you can motivate them by some examples( yours would be a better one) and show them some easy ways to earn money like marketing at TripleClicks.com, ECA listing and also Pricebenders.

Next you can transfer him/her some T Credits or a Gift Certificate could work if they need to buy anything meanwhile, when they have no money to buy.

The bottom line is you must explain him/her that earning money more dependent on him/her rather than you. You as a sponsor can help him/her out but the job is to be done by them only and they will be paid on the basis of their work. Everything is in their hands, they can be even more successful than you or may not even earn a penny if they not work.

Remind them there are obstacles they need to overcome, and that true success evolves over time and isn't accomplished quickly. First they need to focus on the training and tell their family and friends that an education is never a waste of time. Secondly, they need to believe in themselves and their abilities enough to overcome the obstacle of allowing what other people say affect them to the point of giving up.

Have them ask their family and friends how long they think it would take a brand new business in their town to start making a profit. Most businesses have to invest thousands, even millions of dollars before they ever get into profit. Many with SFI who focus on their business and start building can see a paycheck in a few weeks or LESS.

Besides, don't have to explain much. Just tell them that no matter what anyone else thinks, it's their business, and they are the one who decides what to do about it. They can take as little or as much time as they need and hold their head up high knowing they were in the right place at the right time.

Tell them the negativity doesn't have to stop them in their tracks if they don't let it. Just don't say anything more about SFI until they're making money, then they have more proof.

Keeping Affiliates motivated will always be a major aspect you will undertake in your business. How many times have you seen affiliates in your group fall by the wayside and die off. Some never get started and some get started and still quit. I experienced this a lot myself in my group and decided as a Leader that I had to do something about the attrition rate.

It is normal for most people to seek advice from family and friends, but they have to get beyond seeking advice or opinions from people who do not have what they want or desire out of life.

I got past all of this and realized that I must step up and be the person to bring out the best in people and take them from point from A to point B. so I came up with some solutions to this problem.

1. When affiliates join up you have to be the one to encourage them.

Let them know that they will working toward building a monthly residual bonus check and this is not a quick rich business. They must stay consistent , focused be patient , have fun, and do the things necessary to get the results.They have to be willing to follow instructions and allow you to coach and train them. ..and you must Lead by example .

2.They must know how they get paid in this business!

Affiliates have got to study the compensation plan. Most don't take the time to understand it,so I try to constantly communicate this to them.


Here are examples of what I may say to an Affiliate in my group to keep them motivated

1.
Most people are always in a hurry, and never take time to figure out how to make real money in SFI. and the business is so simple that is just flies right over their heads. They are looking for the catch or the easy way out so they drop out or never really get started, become so overwhelmed with all the things they see to do , feel that they have too much to read , or can't see how they can really make any serious money doing it! I'm not trying to be longwinded (smile). I want to help you be successful if you allow me to , and are willing to be coached. Always check out what all the other successful people are doing in SFI.

2.
I'm here to assist you..so learn all you can to grow your monthly residual checks. I also suggest that you thoroughly study the compensation plan so you will know exactly how you get paid. You want to know what you should be working toward so you can get paid well. Remember that SFI is not a quick get rich business, but it is stable and if you do the right things to get results, you can have unlimited income.


If you want to get started correctly on the road to building your residual income check,we have a plan to help you do that and stay on track!



Your best bet to see results is to work with the Movers and Shakers...those that get active and start working their Versapoint Ledger.

Thanks
