Well, anybody that has seriously read through the LaunchPad and has a firm grip on the SFI business idea will most definitely tell you to never give up on anybody. While I do agree with that statement, you have to understand that giving everyone 100% of your time and support is not a wise way to start your business. Allow me to elaborate on that a little bit before you guys start bashing on me.
Now let's say you have an active CSA who maintains their EA / TL rank and is intensely learning everything there is to know about SFI. It's those affiliate you'll want to spend your time and support on. Chatting with them, sending a personal email every once in a while, checking up on them, etc. Doing those actions to active member may be time consuming but it will get you somewhere in the long run.
Okay, let's turn our attention to inactive CSA's of your SFI group. Do you really want to spend time sending them personal emails? Do you really want to go out of your way to try and contact them so you can chat and introduce the SFI business idea? Personally, I say no because you can use that time to do other tasks that are more proficient with regards to the advancement of your SFI business. HOWEVER, at the start of this essay long answer, I also did mention that I do somewhat agree to never ever giving up on inactive CSA's. So here's what I do. Basically, I always include them on my weekly newsletters where I write encouraging stuff about SFI. I post our growth numbers, I praise my EA's / TL's and above all else, I stress that SFI is a fun business. Those inactive CSA's might ignore my newsletters for weeks or even months but one day, the curiosity bug will hit them and they will open my newsletter. After all, they will be thinking to themselves "who is this guy sending emails every week? what does he want?". And as long as the theme of my newsletters stay the same (positive stuff about SFI), I do believe they will become active at some point. And when that time comes, you can bet that I will be supporting them 100%.
