It is hard to know the human nature that causes some people to become inactive after signing up in SFI and TripleClicks. Trying to understand the reasons of affiliate inactivity or to prevent them from going dormant is next to impossible.
We all know how important it is to lead by example but if an affiliate is thinking about or has gone dormant your good example does not impress him/her. The best thing at this time is to inquire as to why they are not trying. The problem in this is, they will most likely not answer your inquiries.
What then can be done? Are we left in a conundrum that is unsolvable? In reality if some affiliate in your team has decided to stop being active there is little that we can do. We cannot control how they are thinking or acting.
We can however do things that could make your teammates think twice about not building their SFI and TripleClicks business. This can be done by offering incentives early enough after they have joined to help them keep their mind on being active daily.
Most team leaders will reward affiliates after they have accomplished some milestone in building activities. But what if there was also an incentive right from the start to stay active?
If they log in ten days in a row and earn available points build them a free website with Word Press. Put their banners on the website and list some “quick moving” products on the site for them. Doing this could bring them sales before the end of their first month and it would put money in their pocket which is a good deterrent against inactivity.
Everyone who is trying to build a successful business on the Internet will enroll many people who stick around a while then disappear into the wood work never to be seen again. It is a part of our business and it is something that we need to get used to and most important would be to not let their inactivity stop or slow you down.
Always remember; if you are doing everything in your power to motivate and inspire your team and a teammate still goes inactive it is not because of what you did or did not do. It is simply a choice (a bad one at that) your teammate has decided to follow.
Look beyond those that sleep and work with those who are willing to put forth some effort. Keep on sending motivating messages in your weekly newsletters to the sleepers and the workers. Someday the light might get bright enough to wake them up.
