This is a challenging question as we are often so focused on the positives, on what they should be doing when they first join.
I believe that what they should not be doing in their first month is race through the training, the 'to-do-lists' and collect all their VPs simply to achieve EA level. They mistakenly think by quickly becoming an EA they will make big money.
I try to encourage them to understand that this is not a get rich quick scheme and to focus on the fact that the fist month is really the month of training and setting up their business and themselves for the future. They are not to skim over the training but to do it well and make sure they thoroughly understand the SFI Basics.
Some of them also try and learn every thing as quickly as possible and risk being overwhelmed by all the new information. Some can cope with that but as a matter of cause I warn all my new affiliates of the possibility of this happening. They are not to try and absorb all the new information as once - its a learning, growing process.
Other than these, I tell them that if they are able to, and depending on their ability to cope, to start looking at promoting TripleClicks and SFI. There is no need to be concerned or fearful about what prospects or new affiliates may ask of them. As their sponsor, I will help them.
