Our responsibility as a sponsor, or co-sponsor, is not to force a relationship with our affiliates, but to offer to be there whenever they feel the need to call on us for help. We must be perfectly plain when we tell them how we can help them, that this is their business and, though we offer advice that has been handed down for 17 years, it is still their freedom to go their own way as long as they keep to the agreement they have with SFI. Give them some space.
I have found that we have 3 types of affiliates, a small group who will gladly communicate, and two groups who won't. These two groups can not be told apart until one affiliate at a time comes out and responds to you. What separates them into 2 groups is whether they read your letters, cards, and Stream posts, or totally ignore you and want nothing to do with SFI.
Many will read your posts and do absolutely nothing. No log-ins, no VP earned, no replies. Until the day you say something they can not resist in talking or doing something about. Make a mistake and then send a note of apology and ask if anyone caught it.
Short notes are more likely to gain their attention.
Be quick to see new appearances on your Movers List. Check for those who only earn 1 VP. A huge bear, newly awakened from hibernation, only eats tiny grubs and berries. Remember, no matter how long ago they signed up, they are still Newbies. Sell them on the attributes of SFI and TC. Show them the Plan and the Compensation Plan, and the Getting Started video.
