I love this question as this is an on-going challenge to anyone who has a down-line.
I have found, albeit I have only been with the SFI family now for less than a year, that it is important to focus leadership efforts on creating and understanding how SFI can become part of the individual's meaningful experience.
Meaningful ownership is critical to identify with each down-line member. Everyone has a passion for something - the passion that we as humans possess can be used to self-motivate for affiliates to find their reason to carry on with the SFI business. Some are passionate about improved quality of life, others are passionate about supporting family members and extended family members during economic difficulties in their country, and others simply may want to find a way to improve their local community such as but not limited to sponsoring children to go to camps because their families can not afford to give them that.
The affiliates who are part of your down-line simply mirror what is happening with the leadership of their team. So when someone is starting to slow down/become dormant in activity it is critical to reach out to the individual as a 1 - 1 and discuss what is important. SFI is an opportunity that only works when there is value added service to not only the owner but to those that are part of their circle of influence.
On a regular basis, I send messages to members - directly, to inquire what the opportunity of SFI means to them so that I can tailor fit my leadership support to that meaningfulness that feeds their passion.
Passion for a human is the same as gasoline for a car - you go further when your tank is full.
