To prevent my team from becoming inactive, it is not just one message, for example: "don't ever quit, this is a lifetime opportunity", but rather a series of messages explaining what SFI is, how to succeed at it and the long time residual and leveraged income they can get from SFI. Really, SFI gives them Financial Freedom.
To start with, I would periodically intimate them about how to succeed at SFI. They messages would revolve around these tips of success in SFI (A to I of SFI Success (9 tips):
1. ADVERTISE aggressively - The only way you will make money in your SFI business is if people are aware that it exists. You have to spend a majority of your time and energy marketing and advertising your business. Do your research and try out different ideas, then put more effort towards the ideas that work. Your goal is to make sure as many people you come across online and offline join SFI as Affiliates or customers. Money comes from their commission-able activities.

2. BRAND yourself. Ensure you create an online brand for yourself through innovation, uniqueness, availability and communication. Any communication you receive from a potential affiliate/customer should be answered promptly and courteously. That first communication from an affiliate is almost like an audition. They may have a question, but they are also testing you to see if they would like to do business with you, not your company, but you. They want to know who is behind the web page.
3. CREATE a formidable business team. The Success of your SFI business is dependent on the activity and size of your team. Developing a size-able team of active Affiliates is a priority. The benefits of derivable from them are awesome: Matching VersaPoints, Direct Commissions, 10% of their Eager Zebra games wins etc. You need to lead by example and motivate them with COOP, Gift Certificate and Recognition.
4. DEVELOP your team through training. One of the ways to do this is by regular communications. You can set up an auto responder. Talk to them about decisions and the directions of SFI. Also, talk to them about any idea they may have and look objectively at their suggestions. They may see something you have overlooked.
5. ENHANCE your business by creating a budget. It is very rare that you will make your business a success without spending some money along the way. You need a Standing Order of 1500 VP at least. You may need to spend on paid advertisement also. Set up your plan for how much you will spend in any given area, so you do not overspend without realizing it. Don't be afraid to rethink your budget allocations if you see that they need to be changed.
6. FAMILIARISE yourself with SFI business. You cannot remain ignorant for too long if you want to take a commanding and successful role as a Sponsor. From START, SFI BASICS, LAUNCHPAD, to TRAINING LESSONS; you need to painstakingly understand the business. Participating in the FORUM, ASK SC as well clarifications of issues from your Upline and Corporate Support would help you a lot.
Never stop learning - Every day is a chance to learn how to do thing more efficiently. Keep your eyes open for news ideas and strategies to implement. Look for tools and techniques that will help you.
7. GO extra miles for success. Ensure you use all available means of generating income in SFI. As you sponsor PSAs, so should you refer PRMs; participate in Eager Zebra games as well as PriceBenders auctions; and give ECA or member listing a trial as soon as possible. I know you may not be master of all things, do what you do well better, and try to do what you have not done.
8. HABITUALLY work on this business. Don’t be haphazard. You should visit SFI Affiliate Center as much as possible every day and perform your daily actions. Be persistent! Determine to make your SFI business a success. You will likely encounter set-backs, but keep working to overcome them. If you chip away at the walls that appear in front of you, you will eventually tear them down. Be patient, it takes a while to succeed in this business.
9. INVIGORATE yourself from the inner mind with the strong believe you will succeed. “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Believe in your success! If you believe that you can do this, you will inherently work harder. You will set high goals and standards for yourself. You will not give up easily. See you up there!
Also, I will tell them, What can they pay as a price for their financial freedom?
I'll say " Can you compare for a few months of working and then you are liberated from low standard of living forever?
If you know a program that can turn you into six digit earner in few years, how will you react to it?
Strong Future International (SFI) is one opportunity you cannot turn away from".
I'll tell them: "The fact is, sponsoring a few PSAs and PRMs can bring money coming into their account from all around the world, all through life.
"How can you ever leave this unique opportunity for Financial Freedom for a lifetime"!
