There is nothing more frustrating than putting effort into something that you want to believe in that does not work the way you want it to.
First thing - the most critical is to acknowledge the feeling of frustration that the affiliate is telling you in their statement, "I want to quit SFI because nothing is happening...". Owning your own business requires not only time, but also emotional and mental work too so definitely recognize the emotions that the affiliate is feeling when he/she expresses such a statement...this is a serious comment to be dealt with in a serious and supportive manner.
After connecting on a level with the affiliate that let's he/she know that you are there to work along side to find out what can be done to fix the concern, do the following:
Review together the work plan that has been followed thus far - in other words review how he/she has earned VP. Versa Points is a great way to measure what efforts have been helping the business and what has not.
Once you both take on the review, encourage the affiliate to continue to own the SFI business but to own it in a different way. Take a few minutes to review the SFI "Rules of Success" and see which one the affiliate is interested in pursuing the next month. That is all that is required, focused efforts with a definite purpose for 30 days to create movement forward.
Inquire if the affiliate can wait for a 30 day cycle to see what happens on their To-Do List VP tracking. Be sure that you extend your support during the next 30 days to support the affiliate's business expectations for the month.
It is important to review with the fellow affiliate the goals that are stated on their Goals tab. Goals are truly broken down into a 3 step system and most people will express their "A" goal which is their reason for joining SFI but do not then outline the steps to achieve their "A" goal with supporting goals - smaller achievements to help them get to "the top". Assist them to develop a plan which has his/her "B" goal stated which helps them to focus their efforts for the 30 day cycle which will feed into achieving their A - Goal as a long term achievement. B-Goals are short term such as weekly or bi-weekly achievements...these goals are then supported by C-goals which are the process at which the B-goal will be achieved.
I am sure that there will be many responses to your question about how do talk with an affiliate who expresses "I am quitting due to no results"....and all will have valid points but please be sure to undertake the fist step as a sponsor/affiliate - recognize the emotions that are attached to this statement as the affiliate is expressing the need for assistance to see the benefits that SFI does offer.
The best things in life are only 1 step away or simply 1 millimeter away and it would be a very sad moment when the affiliate realizes that if he/she dug a little more to the left or the right they will hit GOLD. SFI follows a simple process to wealth sharing but it is not easy - it requires all of us to put in the time and effort.
