The fact that they are coming to you and telling you this is to commend them for. Tell them that's a great thing and you really appreciate it. Also remind them that Rome wasn't built in a day and that even a brick and mortar business takes time to build and this is no different. Tell them to read everything they can and learn about SFI, And then do what you read and teach others to do the same. And that's basically all that's required to do.

Just break it down for him/her in simple terms and show them how to advertise, and keep telling them they're doing great every time they hit a milestone, like making EA or referring a new member. Your goal is to help your team mates until they're ready to fly on their own.

Patience they say is a virtue. I have a wonderful Sponsor.
His advise when I was here about 4 months was above all do not quit.
Let them know we all started at the bottom and some months are better
than others and set back are a part of business.
He told me his story of leaving and coming back and he said, "It was a
big mistake to have given up and then return. You lose momentum when
this happens." And that there is no better program out there with as much
to gain for so little required of you. He is doing wonderfully now and so
am I.

The one thing that you can tell them if they persevere it will turn around
and give it time. In the beginning, don't give them unreal expectations of what it
takes to become successful. It is all work in the beginning for all businesses
and then the rewards come and they will come.

Hi Sabastine,

This is a very critical situation, which is faced by all the sponsors sooner/later & is need to be addressed very sensibly.

First of all you need to ascertain properly the activities of your PSA/CSA to ascertain where he/she's going wrong. You need to analyze his daily SFI activities, marketing efforts, sponsoring efforts etc. You need to understand their background, economic condition etc. Only after fully analyzing you can provide a suitable & timely feedback & guide them to the route of success. I'm mentioning some of the possibilities along with required actions below:

# New affiliate : For the new joiners you need to first of all make them understand program. Tell them to Visit the SFI home page - https://www.sfimg.com/Home on daily basis and go through the three options - "Getting Started, SFI Basics & Launchpad" & don't just read them but apply the instructions accordingly.

# Proper Monitoring : You should be well aware of your team(esp. the movers) & monitoring their progress or where they're lagging in a proper/regular manner.

# Timely feedback : Provide timely feedback so that they can undo their mistakes & move in the right direction. If they ask for any help, don't ever ignore it & be prompt in your response(ASAP).

# Economic constraints : There are lots of affiliates who are not economically sound enough, you should help them out by suggesting how they approach their business with min. investments. Check this link - https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc_question&id=9284 for reference.

# Contest : Arrange regular contests & reward their efforts to help & motivate them. You can provide them TCredits, reassign affiliates, use gift certificates etc.

# Duplication : Make them understand the importance of duplication & how they can multiply their efforts with the help of that.

# Advertising : Tell them the various ways & options(free classifieds, traffic exchanges, blogs, websites, forums, social networking sites etc) of advertising to generate more PSA, PRM, ECA, Sales etc.

# Power of interaction : Tell them to interact with the fellow affiliates & visit the forum on regular basis. Lots of affiliates gain enormous knowledge, resolute their problems from the large knowledge pool of experienced & helpful affiliates active in the Forum.

# Lead by example : You're the team leader so its your duty to share your milestones & success methods with them. You should lead by example & make them to follow you. Make them understand that it takes everyone for a while to get success(you can give your example as well), but their should be continuous & sincere effort.

# Positive intent : Finally the most important part is to provide the positive intent by sharing motivational quotes, success stories etc. Always remain by their side, if not financially then at-least mentally. A positive approach can change a lot of things & work wonders.

I hope I've been able to put some light in the process of encouraging your affiliates. Move out, apply it & build/maintain a strong team to excel in SFI!

Best of luck!

SFI takes time to build, we all grow with our business and take it one day at a time. SFI is not a get quick rich scheme. Each of us simply does our best every day and that's all we can do. It grows a little bit at a time, but in time the little things we do every day will grow into big things.

The key is to stick with it, never give up and have the faith that one day you will wake up realizing your dream for success has come true. How long do you think it took to build the titanic? How long would it take to build a skyscraper? A long time right? It takes time to build SFI also, give it 4 years and see where you are at that point.

The only person who can fail you is YOU. Therefore a focus on SFI is very vital if you are to succeed in the business and that success will be passed on down to your team members!

Constant support and motivation through recognition by giving them T Credits, helping them out in any other area of the business including communicating to them weekly and if they are in the same country, a physical meet for coffee would be a good start!

This creates a better rapport and allows the affiliate a better understanding of the business, helps to sort out difficulties or queries and improves the atmosphere for the affiliate under which he will work in the future.

This personal interaction strengthens the direction in which you are trying to take the affiliate towards.....Various technological additions with which you can become close to the affiliate are available via skype, viber, whatsapp and other chat mediums. It builds the team and encourages competition amongst affiliates!

I will encourage my affiliates by giving them my own example. I will tell them that I too faced the same situation when I was not getting results but I did not give up and now I have found my way.

I will share my strategy with them and I will tell them to read testimonials of successful affiliate, they will find that even those struggled and remained persistant. I will also strongly suggest them to write their fears on forum.Forum is a greatfellowto every affiliate. Forum members always listen and you get many good answers to questions which are still in mind.

I will also start some kinds of contests which will promise rewards to encourage them.

I am sure by this way they wil roll up their sleeves and will get to work.

Good day:-)

The first encouragement is you. You can not give what you don't have. Your encouragement must be backed by solid examples and that will mean using yourself as a reference to let the Affiliate have a clear understanding of what you have been up to so far in SFI. What have you done and what have you accomplished?

You also have to understand the primary objective that made the Affiliate to join SFI and what the Affiliate has been able to do to climb the ranks. Let the Affiliate understand that SFI is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a gradual, steady but conscientious project that will yield fruits in the years ahead.

Lastly, to get somewhere in SFI, you must learn, take advice and practice what you have learned and seen others do. There is absolutely no way you can put in practice all the information that SFI has to offer and you stay in the same position. Thank you.

I'll try to be short and direct, because I know that people don't like to read long articles - they are searching for short and direct answer, not for fairy tail. :)

So, to get back on question: "What encouragement can I give to an affiliate who feels he or she is getting nowhere with SFI?"

1. to get problem solved, first you must find out reason why something became problem.

2. ask your affiliate what's the reason for his or her problem. Why he or she thinks that SFI lead him or her nowhere? What caused that bad thoughts? When he or she started to think that way, after which step?

3. give your affiliate advice. Think what would you do on his or her place? Maybe you had same problem like your affiliate, tell him or her how you solved your problem and how hard for you was reaching problem solution.

4. talk to your affiliate. Be his or her friend, be the person who is ready to help and give advice at any time. People appreciate things like that, people like attention.

5. do your best. Be kind, polite, helpful, gently and try to give best advice. But if your affiliate isn't doing anything to get better after all your advices - give up! There are other people too who need help and maybe they will appreciate your help more.

Cheers everyone!

First, I assume that such an affiliate has expressed his/her feelings on this, so the communication door is open. Take time to assess the affiliates profile to get a better feel of this person as an individual and also, of course, ask them why they feel this way. Then help them work out a possible solution to assist them. For example, if they can't get that first PSA (active or not), add them to your co-op for free or assign them one of your PSAs (preferably an active one if you have one to spare). If they have trouble reaching/staying EA, try an help them work out a solution that is affordable and practicable for both them and even you. Perhaps a few TCredits or a small Gift Certificate for you is needed. Do they need to be doing more advertising? Send them reference to sites that are free listing. Explain the importance of advertising daily to grow their down-line. Whatever the reason for an affiliate feeling this way, a solution can be found. Hope this helps!

Like every other aspect of our lives, we have to make every effort we can in order to overtake obstacles in achieving our goals. Same applies to SFI as our business and to succeed we need:

1. Motivation. Only motivation and passion can lead to undertaking every possible way to succeed. SFI forum can offer many such examples.

2. Support. Every one of us needs help on one or another way, so we should seek and ask as much as we can.

3. Commitment. As with personal relationships, if we are dedicated and eager to have and fulfill what we want so much, additional effort is needed, but we will be rewarded gracefully.

4. Persistence. No one succeeded only trying something, but with firm and consistent work and endurance.

5. Improvement. We have to improve in every possible way, read, learn, communicate, offer help and all of that leads to better understand not only SFI and their business model, but we all become better and more educated personalities.
