I have 40 CSAs and PSAs -- they are all inactive, and they have been dropped out of their Entrepreneur 365 contest. Only 4 of them went past "joining," two making 2 points, one making 10 points, and one 360 points. I sent all of my people Welcome Letters, and many tips on how to take small steps to gain points -- no response. I asked them what their particular problem was and listed expected ones and asked them to respond -- no response. I suggested if they had a language problem to contact others who spoke their language from their own countries for advice and support -- no response (I even gave the few sort of active ones a name of a high VP earner from their own country. I also told them they could opt-out if they did not want to continue and no one did that either.
I saw another answer when I was voting that indicated that people have many different problems such as language problems, money problems, misunderstandings of our articles and other literature, boredom and non-commitment, unwillingness to work at the business, wrong match with their sponsor, a sponsor who is not supporting them and many others. Most all of these could also be part of the problems for English-speakers as well.
I believe that we need another step to indicate an interest in continuing in the business. Something such as: if a person does not make any effort to continue or to be active, they are suspended from membership after 1 or 2 months and then just left in the data base to be given a new sponsor, if they do decide to recontact us one day. If something happens that they wake up and want to move ahead, they can always come back and be told they have been in suspension and register for a new sponsor who will support them.
If they are people like my ones that made a few points, maybe they should have another month of company emails (rather than sponsor emails) asking them for an evaluation of the company, their sponsor, or whether they think TripleClicks could assist their business to grow; but they can be put on suspension also, unless or until they also ask to come back or be recommitted to the business. Perhaps it would be a good idea to assign them to a sponsor who speaks their own language when there starts to be a problem. Maybe there could be a trade off with the English-speaking sponsors who might have more success with the English-speaking non-actives of the person of the other language. It might be beneficial to all, including SFI.
There are many, many reasons for people who seem to come on-board, but don't continue. We can't find solutions for any of them, if the people do not respond. We give them plenty of opportunity to respond, which doesn't happen with other online businesses that I have been associated with. We must give up at some point.
