I take it that you are talking about those who have been reduced in their SFI rank.
When encouraging your affiliates, emphasis to them that this is not a demotion.
They are not employees. They are self employed people - running their own businesses.
To me, rank is an indicator of the level the business is at. I would tell them that.
Business are either loosing money, static with little or no growth, or flourishing and on an upward spiral. Even within those status there is always upwards and downwards movements. Its just the nature of business because there are many external factors that can influence the life of a business. Its not all their doing. A reduction in rank is an indicator of how the business performed last month
We all know that even for example within the EA level, every month they will not earn the same amount of VP as they did the previous month. They may do better or do worse.
At the beginning of each month, we set our monthly goals. This is very important.
What we should also do at the end of each month is to review our performance.
Encourage your affiliates to do that.
They can ask questions such as:
How did we get on?
Where did we do well and how can we capitalize on that?
Where did we do poorly?
What could we have done better?
Remember you can help your affiliates with these. Work with them on these. This would encourage them, keeping them active and engaged.
I would also encourage the affiliates not only to set up their monthly goals but to put a plan in place in order to achieve those goals. Map it out on paper and review it every day.
For example if you want to achieve 1000 AVP by the end of the month, map out how you are going to get them - how many per day / where they come from each day / to-do list earned / auctions / games / sponsoring activities / contests etc.. / target dates (650 AVP by ../../2015)
Its a bit like planning a road trip to reach your destination (your goal)
Having helped them set their monthly goals & helped them put a plan in place, stay in contact with them throughout the month. You can encourage them, monitor their VP Ledger & give them tips. You are their sponsor/mentor/cheer leader/friend - stay with them and help them grow their businesses.
