Its not far from the truth that some affiliates think negatively about SFI, Magdalene. I have tried advertising SFI to an old affiliate of SFI which I never knew was once a member and he said things which made me ask him, how much have you invested in the business? He couldn't go further. Only to find out he was expecting much income without doing his actions, without advertising and without investing.
When situations like this arises amongst my members, I begin to think of things I never promised which they are expecting. I literally state it clearly to my prospect that SFI is not MAKE QUICK RICHES porgram, it's a real business which requires your finances and time as well.
If I must correct this negative impression of theirs, I would begin with what they are expecting and noting getting. Higher incomes have been most affiliates aspiration but they always forget how much work is require to raise a child to adulthood. You must try to find out what they have been doing so far and how much they have spent which is not yielding, if that's the problem.
Its going to a bit difficult to change someone who has spend thousands in trying to build his/her SFI business and found out he lost it all. You must be very patient with such a member else you may totally lose him/her. You need to explain how SFI works, SFI has rules and if not duly followed, efforts may be wasted. You need to help such affiliate direct their efforts to the money making source. For such affiliate you can offer help to help her realize that all that is needed is patience.
Some affiliates have been making SO for products that only build their Versal Points and not their business, and now they are frustrated. I believe most have not carefully read through the SFI basic and Launch Pads but its never too late to do that. You can begin send them tips on what they could do. Some would need you to only reassure them they can make it, some would need you to help them start building first before they can reinvest in the business but all the same both parties needs to work together with patience directing their strength towards getting better result.
Now as a Sponsor, I must ensure I keep contacts with the affiliates, for the main time I have to do things that will put smiles on their faces and help them know SFI is just the best. If such affiliates have been making Standing Orders in time past, Reassigning active PSAs would be a great boost for them, a further encouragement by sending them the DD program invite which will boost them by $200 dollars and little incentives such as Gift Certificates, shares of Co-op and Tcredits which will strictly be used towards building their businesses.
Meanwhile, have it at the back of your mind, you can't force anyone to be great in life you can only encourage them by helping them with what you have. People would always describe things from the perspective they see it, help them try other views and methods. If any one of them decides quit because they feels noting can change their negative perpective, then you have to let go. Concentrate on those who would yield and build your team all the way to the top with Team members who has the Positive Attitude towards SFI.
I hope this helps. Aim High, Dream Big
Goodluck
