Hello Mam !

First of all, I will explain the PSAs that, SFI is an Online Business and not an ordinary online job/work. Since, business yield slowly than job/work.

The fact is that, many people think, SFI Marketing as an online job. So, they think that they must receive earnings without Investment.

Let us explain them this little strategy:

SFI has set up a Great Mega Super Store "TripleClicks" with World Brand Products from World Brand Marketers and offering the same Business to ourselves for free of cost and asking us: "Just sell the products and earn the profits".

Now, Ask PSAs to compare this SFI Marketing with Ordinary Business and calculate the benefits with SFI and TripleClicks.

1. First, In ordinary Super Store, we have to own/rent the place for shop which cost a very huge amount.
But in SFI, We didn't even pay for TripleClicks Tconnect Page Website to install the store.

2. We have to purchase all the products in ordinary Super Store with huge Investment.
But in SFI, We didn't even pay a single penny to purchase products for selling. All products are freely given at your hands.

3. In ordinary business, we will have only local customers, may have certain other countries customers too...
But in TripleClicks, we have International customers to deal with and all selling are done on a click. Shipping are also taken care off. Our work is, just to promote the products for selling. Everything is taken care of by SFI. Will it be possible with ordinary business.

4. Along with selling products, we were given with other benefits like VP points, MRP and Executive Pool commission.
Will there be any other benefits in ordinary business, only profit. That's all, nothing more and even sometimes we get loses too...

But SFI is running successfully for 16 years without any debts and shares for all affiliates too…(million dollars already).

For every business, we won't expect profit immediately after set up. We will wait for the right time, until our business develops and start to yield its profits, that we expect. So, this is the secret we have to share with our PSAs and make them wait for the right point.

Explain PSAs, all about these benefits and tell them, that putting (investing) a little more than receiving from SFI is not all bad. Since, after a short period of time, through our hard works, through down line members works and through our selling/purchasing we are going to earn more than we imagine for our entire life span even after our retirement.

If our PSAs understand this little strategies as "Crystal Clear" in their mind, I think they will never QUIT SFI.

For "WINNERS NEVER QUIT & QUITTERS NEVER WIN"

"Hands together - Success together". Make this our Motto.

Hope, this answer is apt for the question and useful too….

Hello Diana,

Is it that normal when we don’t have the concept of what it takes to get succeeded in this
Kind of business choosing the easy way out to quit ?.
Unfortunately this is not for everybody, but every one has a chance to succeed in life, and
Most of us are easy come and easy go.
In my opinion we have to be firm in our leadership skill to understand the need and expectation
Of this individuals one by simply looking their profile why they are here and what’s their goal is and when they want to achieve that goal in terms of time.

If we have time to study that all the answer is right there for us to work on those
Affiliates. Knowing their back ground is the biggest gift we can get, since that is provided to us for that purpose.

I am by nature straight up person who like to get to the point without circling around.
Once I know those individuals what make them to join the business and what they
Didn't like the present situation they are, I will tell them that they are in the right place.

But it requires hard work, probably even more than what they claim for, dedication,
Being Patient, gaining knowledge about the business, also encourage them to read
Business related books how to help them over come daily challenge and
Understand how successful people got where they are now, what obstacles
They had through their journey and how they overcame those dream killers
To achieve successful life.

I will tell them to look themselves where they were five years ago in terms of life
Improvement and where they are now and if they do the same thing what they are
Doing now where they will be five, ten, twenty years from today. I will tell
Them also they are here to make that change in their life. If they didn't
Like where they were in the past and don’t like where they are now, this
Is the chance to change their life for better. It is not easy to get there, It
Took them ten to twelve years of practice and knowledge to land their
First low earning Job.

It took them also another four to ten years to land
their unstable job which is they are not still happy about to made them
Look for stable, residual or supplementary income. If they are not able
To understand the time it will take to succeed and if they are not give it
“At least a year commitment to their life changing
business don’t even bother to start it.”
That’s what one great leader said.

I will tell them the truth. With the truth if they stay they stay.
I will do everything to help them succeed. But if they don’t
I will tell them I don’t like to see them leave but if their heart and
mind is not here they can go till they put their house in order.
I will tell them I am not giving up on them , they can come back
when they are ready for it. I will ask them also if it is ok If I send
them time to time a simple e mail to say hello and send them few
Encouragement words.

I have few friends till this day we kept
contacting each other and few came back to check my various
businesses and stay with it because of the care I have.
Never been about money. Money is the product of our sincere
and genuine service.

Hi Diana,

It's a given that in most cases affiliates have to invest money to make money, but this doesn't mean they should bankrupt themselves in the process. Moreover, if they are investing money and don't have a solid business plan to support this investment, no amount of money will make their business work.

On the other hand, if they quit, all the time and money they have invested will have been for nothing. That is not an option! The saying "Winners never quit and quitters never win" may well be true, but it doesn't help you or your affiliates in a moment of crisis.

Since you are their Team Leader, a more proactive attitude on your part may hold the solution for everyone concerned, especially if some of these affiliates are willing to work with you, listen to your advice and follow your instructions.

For starters, I would ask them to think carefully about the following question and give as honest an answer as they can: have you done everything in your power to make your business flourish?

In order to get an even clearer picture of what is happening, I suggest you get together with each affiliate and review the following checklist to see exactly what they have been doing to grow their business:

• Do you take your SFI business seriously, or do you treat it like a hobby?
• Have you applied the SFI Marketing Methods and Aids?
• Have you created a website or blog to promote SFI and TripleClicks?
• Do you refer customers to your TripleClicks store on a regular basis?
• Do you sponsor new PSAs on a regular basis?
• Do you send newsletters to your PSAs and CSAs each week?
• Have you reviewed the SFI 3-Step Plan with your affiliates?
• Have you always been there to support your PSAs and CSAs?
• Have you exhausted all the ways you can create other streams of income?

If they answer YES to all of these questions, then I would suggest you tell them to redouble their efforts, because they are on the right track. If they are doing everything right, all they need is a bit more patience and in time they will reap what they have sown.

If they answer NO to one or more questions on the checklist, then tell them you are willing to work with them to reinforce those aspects of their business that are weaker and ask them not to despair. Success will come if they are committed to making their business work.

Ultimately, if someone really wants to quit, there is nothing you can do or say to persuade them to stay, so continue to work with those who want to succeed, and let the rest go on their merry way. You can't win them all!

I will say to them that I have been there too and show them the result of investing in my business and staying the course by showing them what I now earn.

To grow anything, be it a business, a relationship, a building or even a life, you must input into it some sort of investment. It could be time, money, effort and energy, it all boils down to putting yourself out and letting go of a little to gain a lot at the end.
Even planting any seed, you need to tend it and water it to get a grown plant that will finally give you seeds or fruits at the end of the day. You invest a little money into your SFI you get a life time of income at the end of building up your business, just like you plant a couple of corn grains and you harvest a field of corn cobs the end always justifies the means.

So tell them that the patient dog eats the fattest and juiciest bone. They need to endure and persevere, and also continue to do the work of growing the business and they will laugh last and best.
I hope this answer helps. I wish you all the best, just keep the faith and don't give up too soon just when you are about to get your deserved reward.

What I would say (not 100% literally):
"Don't give up now and hold on!
Did you have a plan? Tell me and I tell you how you can improve it and where you have to change it"

As I see it, it is impossible to ask every single one of your downline to copy you - each PSA has their own favorites and shortcomings which may hinder them from duplication. Thus, an individual plan is essential for your PSA. Without a decisive plan, one is bound to invest endless sums of money while sinking deeper into the reds.

Here's the basics:
Any SFI affiliate must always follow the principle: Learn the business, plan your business, put it into action and ask for help without hesitation
The teamleaders job is it, to encourage their PSAs, improve their plans if necessary, share experience, ideas and advices.

So if your PSAs are thinking its time to quit because they already have too much negative balance, reviewing the actions and the plan is vital. As teamleader, you have the optimal position to advice your downline how they need to plan and to work so that they are able to steadily grow their income into a positive balance.

When the wall becomes too big for the both of you, take a 2-3 days break from SFI. Then get back and start from the very beginning with learning and reviewing the training lessons (basics, launchpad, RoS, marketing methods) and internet income course.
Learn together, review together, discuss the learned stuff together and work out a new plan together -> Don't let your PSA alone in that hard time.

If the plan is set, you can still give him encouragement and starting aid by giving him TCredits, gift certificate or best - invite him into your Coop. Make sure to review the new plan, the actions and the achievements together with your PSA on regular terms.
It will give him/her the strength to carry out the plan and reach a good positive balance.

What a timely question! This has just happened to me this week, and the pain is still very raw.

It's not my PSA, but a very hardworking and active CSA sent me a note that said he is quitting because of the exact same reason you have mentioned. He said he is going to concentrate instead on a new business.

Of course, I was shocked and saddened by his message. So I wrote back and advised him to think it over before doing anything and to give his business a bit more time to grow. As BTL he had built a good size team and was consistently keeping his rank.

I said think hard of all the good work, time, effort and money he had invested in his business will be gone. That he's a very friendly, valuable member of my Team as we often share jokes and other messages in my Facebook as well as thru team mail.

I asked if he has discussed his decision with his sponsor. I tried to persuade him to take a break, but not to quit. However, if he really wanted to leave SFI, there's nothing I can do so wished him good luck. Still, I sent him a "Don't Go" E-card. And for a few days I was so happy to see him still on my Movers list. I thought my efforts were not in vain and he had reconsidered.

Only to be crushed when I saw his name on my OPT OUTS in my Genealogy lately. His reason- no time.

Sure, I felt hurt because I lost not only a valuable team member but also a friend. But, what else can I do? Now, I've learned to let go and wish him well in his new business and in whatever he does.

But life goes on, and more new 2-Home CSAs are coming, although one good person will never be replaced.

Every Business requires investment, before it can produce profits. But this is the one business which requires more an investment of time and effort before it requires any money.
An agricultural lesson : You have to sow befor you can reap.!
The harder you work in your first three months (1)to do your daily requirements (2) To get PSA's to sign up and (3)Create a standing order, the lesser you have to work in the future.
Did you know that it takes more (power)effort to get a train going and a small block can prevent it from moving, but when it is moving , not even a wall can stop it.
Don't let small "blocks" keep you from getting going , get going and nothing will stop you.

If a person is wanting to quit because their investment is higher then their income, remind them that how much they invest is a personal decision. No one is asking them to invest any money, so therefore that's not a reason to quit. Back off on their investment and evaluate what methods they are using for recruiting. Help them improve on the methods they are using. Once they start recruiting, then they can start taking their profits and reinvesting.

Explain to them they may grow slower by not investing, but don't let that be a deciding factor on quiting. There are affiliates that have still built a great business not initialy investing. Help them improve their recruitment or marketing skills so that they will start creating an income to reinvest.

Point out to them that many people spend a good bit of time in SFI before they start to see large returns of money.

Ask them how many active PSAs, CSAs they have. How many PRMs for TripleClicks. Are they advertising for same?

Where are they advertising - online or offline, or both?

Once they start answering your points, then you may be able to see where they may have room for improvement in their techniques or locations. Here would be the time to point out to them some of your most successful ads, and locations.

If they still are determined to quit, point out that if they change their mind, they can come back after 6 months, will start over.

If you feel you have done all within your power to help, mentor, sponsor, tell them you will miss them, then -- let them go. You cannot force them to stay, nor would you want to!

With a clear mind, move on to teaching, leading, the rest of your team...

Good luck:))...
