Dear Mary,

This is a problem that most of us face. One thing to remember is that we cannot force people to work their business and we are only responsible for our actions or lack there of.

The only thing I can honestly say is to reach out in every possible way you can to encourage them and let them know you are there to help them succeed. Remind them that this is their business and it is not a get rich quick scheme. Slow and study wins the race.

We can only do the

Good question! Almost all active members of SFI have encountered this problem including me.

To ensure an additional regular income and long term, we know that one of the safest solutions is duplication. And if you do not have a strong team capable of imitating your actions, it will be unlikely that you etteignes your goals. Before I reveal to you my solutions to this problem, I would say that yourself you're active. You have to set a good example.

Otherwise what do you want

Well Mary, that happens often in business like this. Someone start successfully, became Ea, EA2, even BTL and than – nothing. Why? Because it is easy first and even second month in SFI, but troubles starts at third month, when they become aware of reality – no team – no money! Those who don`t know how to advertise, who are too lazy or expect too much often go away.
So, do not say to them it is easy, it`s free, it`s for life. Be honest at start so they can decide immediately whether they

Just keep going and don't be discouraged. Continue to do the things in How to be an Awesome Sponsor guide.

People become inactive for so many reasons that we don't know and mostly we don't have control over it.

Continue to guide the ones that's left and encourage them and keep sponsoring more people into the business.

As we all know this business is not for everyone. Some people haven't found the treasure yet in SFI because they are looking in the other way.

Hi Mary, I think some of us are also faced with this situation.

Above all, Stay positive.

-Keep communication going with current active affiliates to encourage them to continue moving forward.
-Send some friendly emails to your former active affiliates, inviting them to come back to SFI with some encouraging statements to help bring them back to SFI.
-Continue your advertising efforts, also keep your S-Builder Co-Op going to ensure a continuous flow of new affiliates

Persuasiveness is the only answer to this question.

We have to persuade the affiliate and remind him by giving examples of successful leaders. We have to tell them about the success stories and the massive doll-outs SFI is giving to us. SFI is such a system in which one does not really needs help from anyone. It only requires your time. It is such a self explanatory system.

We can also calculate their earning (approx.) and keep informing them about his/her future earnings.

There are a number of reasons why a previously active affiliate would become inactive. However, there's no one size fits all solution here, unfortunately.
By best advise is to write a personalized email to this person (one for each), asking them why they've not been active, and also including encouraging tips in the same.

Remember, keep sending out your well crafted weekly newsletter to your down-line or genealogy. You never know who may open these mails or when what you wrote may

I think that as long as you keep sponsoring your downline...Sending weekly newsletters, answering questions promptly, sending E-cards for support, etc. reffering them to the LaunchPad lessons etc. Than there is not much left to do on your part.

If someone chooses to leave or stop loggin in and do the work they need to do after all of the effort you put in...Than its really up to them.

Just keep doing what you do and you never know. Maybe one day they decide to start being active

Well I guess like all things in life this is certainly inevitable and a perennial problem of attrition that keeps coming back again and again I would just do what I can and keep staying in touch and email them regularly send them ecards every now and them or offer them a small Gift certificate with a 14 days expiry and not give them up as some may come and go and come back perhaps months or even years later like me I joined in around 2001 and then only came back about 20 months back actively

You should encourage them and help them in any means necesary... Also, be patient with them as sometimes they feel neglected and don't know what to do, you must explain them that success is not coming over night and that as long as they active they will receive rewards which will help them succeed their objectives.

My aproach to them is to help them develop their promotion web site and domain, and all rewards that come with this benefits,but only if they are active and reach EA !

Good
