Each new affiliate who signed up with SFI has his/her own idea or just checking what’s for them upon joining. If they don’t see the results that they have in their mind, within a short period of time, they become discouraged. Even for those affiliates, who have been here for a year or two, it could be depressing to not move up from EA to TL.
Being discouraged besides being inactive is unfortunately one of the most common problems in SFI community.
In my experience as a Team Leader, I recommend the following:
1. In your welcome message to your new affiliates, emphasize that joining SFI is a long term commitment and it involves consistency in logging in and being perseverant and determined in the face of challenges that you are always there for them.
2. Include in your weekly support message to ask them any concerns, they might have and ensure them that they have your full support. If an affiliate provided his/her telephone number, you can contact him/her. Find out the cause of discouragement. Offering your help will most likely encourage him/her to become confident in his/her to day to day dealings with SFI.
3. Encourage them to log in daily and join the SFI Forum, read the SFI news, there is a leadership challenge contest running till March 2014. You can also offer 10 TCredits, so he/she can try out the Pricebender auctions.
If you can let them feel that everyone is needed to build a strong and solid team in order to achieve success in everyone’s goal, then you have succeeded in having a more confident affiliate in your team.
