Encourage them to give themselves TIME: They are probably discouraged because they do not see immediate results in terms of payments.

Almost anything worthwhile takes time; a baby takes 9 months, seeds planted take time to yield more seed etc etc. BUT when it does yield it makes it all worthwhile.

Agree with them that you and many many others too felt the same at the beginning, YET you stuck it out and you are so thankful that they did because of the results you now enjoy.

Let them know you will stand with them all the way, IF they will give themselves say another 3 months, and if they still feel discouraged, actions can be taken at that stage.
(You see feelings are fickle AND discouragement is just a feeling)

Make good on your commitment to stand by them by calling, email, text or getting in touch with them at least every three days, send them some TCredits or cash to spend on TripleClicks if you can . . . and watch them become one of your top performers.

Even if they do quit in three months, know that you have impacted a life for good. All my very best my friend.

Remind them with the help of the Benefits and Compensation plans that anyone can make a successful income with SFI. I am quoted by my friends for the phrase I coined "Set no limits".

It may be that if they feel they are getting nowhere with SFI that he or she has set some limits somewhere. At no time does anyone have to pay to sign up. For recruiting and supporting others who sign up there are rewards that all account for commissions, rank and rewards. SFI has many streams of income although some appear to concentrate on recruit 5 who in turn do the same and take out Standing Order to generate commissions.

There are other options. Review with your affiliate who feels he or she is getting nowhere to see where strengths lie. It might be that running an ECA store is the pathway to success or if they are able to generate leads that Pay Per Action will be beneficial.

We all have different abilities and skills so by reviewing where strengths lie should help him or her to focus on what is possible rather than think as they don't excel in every possible way in SFI that they are getting nowhere. From the start they signed up so they are ahead of many others who missed out on this excellent opportunity.

To our success!

Each new affiliate who signed up with SFI has his/her own idea or just checking what’s for them upon joining. If they don’t see the results that they have in their mind, within a short period of time, they become discouraged. Even for those affiliates, who have been here for a year or two, it could be depressing to not move up from EA to TL.

Being discouraged besides being inactive is unfortunately one of the most common problems in SFI community.

In my experience as a Team Leader, I recommend the following:

1. In your welcome message to your new affiliates, emphasize that joining SFI is a long term commitment and it involves consistency in logging in and being perseverant and determined in the face of challenges that you are always there for them.

2. Include in your weekly support message to ask them any concerns, they might have and ensure them that they have your full support. If an affiliate provided his/her telephone number, you can contact him/her. Find out the cause of discouragement. Offering your help will most likely encourage him/her to become confident in his/her to day to day dealings with SFI.

3. Encourage them to log in daily and join the SFI Forum, read the SFI news, there is a leadership challenge contest running till March 2014. You can also offer 10 TCredits, so he/she can try out the Pricebender auctions.

If you can let them feel that everyone is needed to build a strong and solid team in order to achieve success in everyone’s goal, then you have succeeded in having a more confident affiliate in your team.

What sort of encouragement can I give to an affiliate who feels not getting anywhere in SFI?

Information from the Genealogy will show who are struggling and it's easy to see who needs encouragement.

It also depends on the kind of problem my affiliate is facing at the time. If my affiliate is stuck at being an Affiliate for a while but has not missed a day in logging in, I will send a personal message offering help and support. If he responds, then I know what to do.

If my affiliate has been EA, EA2 or BTL and suddenly disappear for a period from Movers list, there must be a strong reason why, so a personal message with a request to contact me so we can discuss whatever the problem is and seek a solution will make a big difference in lifting his morale and productivity.

Usually I would offer a gift certificate to help him get his business off the ground, plus share a strategy and easy ways of earning points.

If my affiliate is languishing on EA or EA2 and would dearly love to advance, a personal message plus an offer of reasssignments, TCredits, gift certificates, and a free share in the team co-op and share tips/hints in free advertising and best practices will encourage him to work harder and get the positive result that will take him to a higher level.

For continuing progress, I would encourage my affiliate to keep on reading and reviewing the SFI Basics, the Launchpad, and every training articles on their homepage and self-help books.

To build a strong team, to keep on sponsoring and generating TC Sales, refer ECAs and PRMs for profitability. Only when there is a movement in his team and he advances in SFI will an affiliate feels success and will be encouraged to go on.

Very relevant question because more than half of those who really want to earn in SFI are feeling discouraged because they are getting nowhere with SFI.

In I follow two principle in giving advice to my affiliates.

1. Concentrate on the two main success factors. Affiliates and personally earned VP. Finding affiliates is number 1 in my list and agenda when I am mentoring. I discuss with them how find affiliates both paid and free. Without affiliates it's quite impossible to succeed here at SFI. Number two is they should balance their personally earned VP with the activities of their found affiliates. Do not push them to have more VP's but don't have affiliates. They will end up spending rather than earning.

2. I always tell them the realities and realistic expectations. Like, only 1 to 5 percent of your recruited affiliates from the internet will become active. That SFI is a real business that they are expected to invest either from their own pocket or from their earnings. and many other realities of internet marketing. When they know exactly the realities and decided to proceed, they usually have sense of direction and will be highly motivated. They will also know when to stop.

The best encouragement one can give to an affiliate who feels he or she is getting nowhere with SFI is by telling him/her your own success story and that of your upline team leaders.

Let them know that if you and your upline team leaders had made it, then they will certainly make it. Tell them that the worst thing for them to do is for them to lose hope in themelves. They should always believe in themselves and have hope for a brighter tommorrow.

Since it is often said that actions speaks louder than words, I would advise you to draw their attention to all the achievement you have made so far during your stay in SFI. This will give them the impression of why they need to press forward without losing foresight.

Tell her to read, review, understand and follow the instructions carefully on how to earn more VersaPoints and the benefits she would derived if she would be able to earn more VersaPoints.

Let her know that there are ways to earn without spending to much since there are games herein the system which she would earn TCredits, CSAs, Lifetime Domain, MRPs and more.

It is important to acknowledge that an affiliate may feel or perceive that he or she is getting no-where with their efforts with SFI.

Once you acknowledge their feelings then the next step is to review with them "why" he or she joined SFI. This is a voluntary process and it is important that you offer your time to review their purpose for becoming an SFI affiliate and then compare their purpose with their daily/monthly/yearly goals or actions.

The alignment of the affiliate's actions and thoughts with their goals or purpose is important...when there is alignment there is clarity for their SFI business. Clarity is for self therefore growth and success will be seen.

Encouragement is to be provided for the small steps that he or she has taken so far as each step no matter the size does get you that much more closer to reaching the top.

Remind them that "no-where" is no different than "now-here" except for how you look at the letters "nowhere".

Owning a business is hard work and yet the rewards are priceless.

Remind your affiliates fairly often to clear their red tabs on a DAILY basis, DO rate the askSC answers as they will learn from answers to questions they might not realize they also have.

LaunchPad lessons are vital to review now and then to ensure they are firmly into your memory banks. There is a LOT of information to absorb in those lessons!

Encourage them to go to the SFI Forum page, there are also good teaching Q&As there.

Above all, remind them to be patient. Do not give up on themselves or SFI. Keep coming back, and point out that VersaPoints never have to be BOUGHT!! It takes longer to advance, but it CAN be done without money, just effort.

Try always to speak to them in positive ways as I believe this will help them to also remain positive.
