Hi Khalida, in my opinion there is no one single message that can do the magic.
Rather combination of actions and follow-ups are what you need. Some of these
actions and follow-ups include the following:
A. CONTINUOUS COMMUNICATION:
1. Sending supportive emails is essesntial.
2. Carefully select your words to be in form of advice rather than criticizing.
3. Use inclusive words like "we", "our", "all of us" etc. in your email.
4. Appreciate the affiliate's contribution before mentioning what he or she should improve upon (if any).
5. Always share your past experiences in related or similar situation and how you survived it.
6. If using email; let your mail content be formal instead of informal.
7. Lead by example, ensure you have done what you want your PSAs and/or CSAs to do.
8. Hash words should NEVER proceed from your mouth to your team members at any time.
9. Let them know you are willing to help them achieve success as your team members.
10 .Ensure your leadership page and blog are up-to-date;direct them to your blog and Leadership page in every correspondence.
B. APPLYING SOUND BUSINESS STRATEGIES TO HELP YOUR TEAM:
1. Reassign consistent and always active PSAs to help build your team.
2. Check the number of EA PSAs you have before reassignment, if few consider not to reassign.
3. Since an affiliate can be reassigned only once, be convinced of your action; so you don't lose your benefits.
4. Use the WIN-WIN approach; For every affiliate you sponsor this month, I'll match it.
5. Another strategy is to use the reassignment tool as an incentive for your PSAs to achieve success.
6. Organize Team Leaders and put EAs under them. Develop Team Leaders who will be making profit, and therefore tend to remain active.
7. Compensation plan for your PSAs. If they sponsor their first affiliate you reward them with two extra for example.
8. Reward every milestone achieved by your PSAs. e.g become Team Leader, and get two PSAs FREE etc.
C. SPECIAL ADVISORY ROLE TO YOUR AFFILIATES THROUGH THE MOVERS TAB:
1. Use the movers tab to help you play direct advisory role on your most active affiliates.
2. It is a veritable tool that takes the problem of page loading off you; use it to your advantage.
3. Use the tab to identify specific view or category of affiliates for critical performance appraisal e.g newest sign ups, currently online etc.
4. Use the tab to access each affiliates details like country and power rank, reassign affilaite from the same country for language coherence.
5. Through the movers tab you can access the VPledger of any active affiliate, and suggest what he/she can do to improve.
6. Know who is active and inactive,use the tab to identify who to motivate for greater effort.
7. Based on VP earned, some of your affiliates may need encouragement; use the movers tab to find out and contact them.
8. Monitor the status of each of your affiliate for appraisal of their performance.
9. It brings into view affiliates that has been off the scene for a long time, so ensure you contact him/her and give word of encouragement.
D. ENGAGE IN TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES:
1. Brainstorm and share tips and ideas with your affiliates.
2. Join in in-depth discussion of SFI News, products, programs etc.
3. Get your own questions answered by others.
4. Have fun with colleagues.
5. Get inspiration on all matters relating to your business.
6. Some time you save time by asking forum members what to do than finding it from the training manual.

E. ENGAGE THEM IN BUSINESS BUILDING VENTURES AS A TEAM:
- Get S-Builder as a co-op, so you can reduce advertising cost for your business.
- Place your S-Builder on standing order (S.O) so you can ensure yourself a spot on the co-op each month.
- Your team success is your success,invite all your team members to be part of your S-Builder co-op.
- Give reasonable reward to your affiliates for milestone achievements using S-Builder co-op PSA assignment:
1) They maintain the rank of EA for 3 months and get 2 PSAs extra.
2) They raise a team leader for 3 months and get 2 PSAs extra for each team leader.
3) They become a team leader themselves for 3 months and get 5 PSAs.
4) They get their first customer sale and receive 2 PSAs extra.
5) They personally sponsor 20 affiliates in a month and get 5 PSAs extras
6) They make the top 10, top 20, or top 50 on the leaderboards etc for PSA reward.
- Lastly, engage the use of sound keycodes in dispersing co-op sign-ups to your affiliate, misplacement of keycode will bring a lot of problems later.
