Hi Carl,
Being able to sponsor affiliates is an applaudable task. You actually have got off to a flying start by successfully having team members.
Anyway, we all realize that not all affiliates are serious. Out of 100 of them, you are considered lucky if one or two are active. I think we all are in the same boat. It’s quite easy to sponsor but it’s hard to get the affiliates committed to the business which they are first after to.
My opinion is at a beginning of prospecting, offline or online, you must stress that you only look for serious business partners, who are willing , ever ready to invest time and some money to build this SFI business. At this stage you have done one level of an affiliate filtration.
One more stage is during their first or two months in your team, make things clear again to them about this business. Give them a fact that there is no easy money, no miracle ways or short cut tips to get rich overnight. So, if they are after easy dollars, the SFI biz is not suitable for that kind of personality. Try not sound too harsh though but that important message must be clearly delivered.
After sometimes, you can distinguish which are serious and which are not. Focus and motivate your movers or workers but still once in a while keep a contact with your sleeping affiliates. We do not know, one fine day, they will wake up, change their attitudes and perceptions about SFI, have new ambitions and turn into serious, hard working individuals.
Up to this point, bear in mind that not all PSAs are going to work on this biz and some of them also are actually not suitable to be in SFI ( study their caharacteristics, if you can). So we must have our feet planted firmly on the ground. Being practical and realistic in our hopes and undertakings will not frustrate us.
Our part is to do our work as usual. Lead by examples. You duplicate your leaders and your serious affiliates will duplicate you. Even though you have only a small number of them, if we can work hand in glove, after some time, you will reap what you have sown.
Aim High, Dream Big.
