Whenever an affiliate shows interest, your main goal is to show them support. We are not bosses. We are mentors and should be excited to help grow our down line. Their reason for being inactive is there own but not they are trying to succeed. Capitalize on this. Forget past failures and let it be water under the bridge.

To build rapport, ask the affiliate "What is the number 1 goal you wish to achieve in the next 30 days with your SFI business?" They will tell you most likely to make some commissions. Focus on the activities that produce income such as promoting Pricebender auctions, and selling TripleClicks merchandise. Give them a solid plan that will help them reach their financial goal and tell them that they must commit to following the recommendations daily. There is a lot of merchandise on TripleClicks for every budget and practical application. Tell them to start with people they know and then work out a promotional strategy that will attract visitors to their TripleClicks gateways. Tell them to pick a strong selling product with broad appeal.

Finally, assure the affiliate that you are there to support them 150% but they must commit to the goal 150%. Every intelligent person knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. So continue the positive dialogue and answer any questions that the affiliate has. You will be delighted to see them achieve their goal but better yet you will gain an active affiliate as you build on the business relationship.

By all means, you should acknowledge the logging in of your affiliate after a long period of inactivity. This shows your passion, your belief in SFI’s sponsoring and duplication and your willingness to build your team and expand your network.

Now comes the most important part, the re-engaging of your long inactive affiliates. Your initial reaction and the choice of words to your affiliate play an important role in forming his/her impression of how SFI is performing in the network marketing industry.

Take the following points into consideration, when communicating with your long inactive affiliate:

- Start the conversation by expressing that you’re very glad to see him/her back.

- In delivering your message, let him/her feel your excitement about the latest in SFI/TripleClicks making him/her wanting to find out more.

- Give him/her an update by mentioning “SFI BY THE NUMBERS”:

16th successful year for SFI (29th for SFI's parent company)

14-year Bronze member of Better Business Bureau

1.6 million affiliates (32,802 new added last week)

3 million TripleClicks members

97,000+ commissionable products

6,800 E-Commerce Affiliates (in 168 countries)

177 LocalPay Merchants (in 39 countries)

2,487 - TripleClicks.com's global popularity rank (source: Alexa.com)

Millions - Commissions paid out to our affiliates (in US Dollars)

By doing so, you might win him/her back.

- Find out if he/she needs help in clarifying the SFI business model and offer your full support.

Yes it is both ethical and professional to acknowledge this because it conveys a good intent to assist and welcome the affiliate back to your team.

What you should say actually depends on the circumstances resulting to inactivity and your perception of the affiliate where possible, but generally you may include the following in what you say:

1. Let him know that irrespective of what kept him away for such a time, you are very pleased to see him back and that more importantly, it is better late than never.

2. Tell him what he missed the time he was absent will not be a barrier to his future success here, that all what he needs to succeed are still intact and that you are here to assist and guide him, because you only succeed when he succeeds.

3. Also say to him that it is extremely important to let out his mind when in any difficulty moving forward and include your Leadership Page link and email address for contacting you.

4. Finally, say to him that the action he took to start work with SFI today is a milestone because "The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action."
-Alexander Graham Bell

Please note that it may be efficient not to bore him with very lengthy message of this nature, but be concise, polite, helpful, very professional and be ready to do some follows ups.

Yes, you should acknowledge this. In fact I have found it to be a great way to actually get one of my team to reply to me.

The first thing I do is send them an E-Card, here is an example of one I recently sent out,

“Welcome back, (name).
SFI is definitely worth checking out again. This time I hope you decide to "give it a go" by consistently logging in and doing the 12 daily tasks. If I can help you, please let me know.”

The great thing about this was that the affiliate actually replied. We had a brief exchange of emails, me, from my mobile phone, which wasn’t ideal as I kept making spelling mistakes. And his replies were very brief, but at least we were “talking” to each other. The next day I wrote him an email from my computer. In that email I told him a little about myself and my situation, and I asked for some more information about his situation, particularly about his access to a computer. And I told him that I would be happy to help him. That we should proceed "one step at a time". That’s where we are at the moment.

I don’t know if this affiliate will become more active, only he can choose to do that. But at least I have done my part and shown him that I value him in my team and that I am happy to help him.

As an encouragement to others in my team who are inactive I also mentioned him in my next TeamMail to all my PSA/CSA team. Here’s what I wrote,

“I would even like to congratulate (name) and applaud him for writing to me and asking for my help. (Name) was inactive for some time, then he had another look at SFI. I noticed that and sent him an E-Card welcoming him back to SFI. He replied. He wants help to make money with SFI. So I have been working with him on that. He has a long way to go (as do I) but I am happy to help him.

Perhaps you are in the same position – and want to know how can I make money with SFI? Well, there are no tricks to it, just hard work and constant work each day. So come back on board. Knuckle down. Learn what SFI is all about and start applying this knowledge to your own SFI business and see what happens. I am only too happy to help you.”

Ovidio, I don’t have any proven answers for you. I am just trying to reach out to my team in any way I can and I am trying to take advantage of any situation that arises to do so - the above being one example.

My attempt may not have been “the greatest way to respond” but I at least was able to establish some communication. I am so grateful for that. Time, and practice will teach me what will work for one affiliate and not another. But I certainly would recommend that you at least try something. Afterall, these people are already a part of your team and if you can encourage them in their SFI business you will both win.

I wish you well in your pursuit of providing an “awesome” service to your team. God bless you.

You certainly should. Whenever an inactive affiliate becomes active, it is welcome, and you should behave accordingly. First of all, send him an e-card, that he knew that you follow what is going on in your downline.

First of all, I think it's important and to what extent he has become active. Not enough to make just a few points, it is necessary to observe the daily routine, whether daily logs, it shows interest and commitment.

If you realize that in his work there are some gaps, make an effort to help him. Send him a mail in which you are going to explain where he makes mistakes. Even you can make a screenshot of his VP Ledger, so that graphically display where and what to do. Then you will see how serious and that you should continue to take part in his journey to success.

If he ignores your instructions (which you gained the experience and leadership of your sponsor and uplines), or does not continue to work, again, you'll have the information - that his activity has been just random.

In any case, each affiliate when it has reached earnings from fees and other ways of earning in SFI, in the amount of more than $ 20, can get a Payoneer debit card and thus solve the problem

Well a good question and I am a living proof of the same.

My advice to you is Definitely YES. "You should not only acknowledge or welcome them back but you should go all out to motivate as well to boost up their confidence levels". Check their ledger from time to time and give them quick tips on what can be done further.

Just tell them that they are welcome back and that you will always be available to assist in every way possible.

As an example this is my story :

I enrolled in February 2014 and was inactive for 5 months.

Then I decided to read about SFI and I became active again. The sad part is I had been eliminated from the E365 challenge but nothing stops me now.

My sponsor is a gem and was motivating me all the way. I have been a Bronze Team Leader for the last 2 months and I am sure I will be one for September 2014 as well.

I have done my homework and will proudly say SFI ROCKS!

Of course you should acknowledge them JOYFULLY! Welcome them back, but be careful that you do not refer to any problems that could be beyond their control. You may say something like: "Welcome back. I/we are happy to see you again and want you to know we are still here for you and will do anything we can to help you."
If they have been gone for several months without logging in, you might want to spend little more time bringing them up-to-date with all of the new things in SFI such as the News Blog or the new games in TripleClicks.
If you feel like you should say something about their absence, be VERY careful about what you say unless they have told you why they were leaving or why they left. We do not know what made their circumstances what they were so we must be careful not to offend them or bring up a tragedy.
The most important thing is to make them feel as if they were TRULY missed and that above all else, we are VERY HAPPY they have come back!

1. Well, this is a familiar issue which most of us in SFI have experienced.
I cannot vouch the same for others, but this is how I go about addressing this pleasant and surprising change of attitude of my PSA/CSA.
2. Once, I see the name of this old PSA of mine pop up in the movers list,I shoot out a congrats /welcome E-card, welcoming him back & complementing him for his decision to re-activate himself.
3.Wish him success in his second attempt reminding him that a war is not won by running away from the battlefield; will motivate him to overcome challenges which pop up in every profession including SFI, which is not an exception.
4. Try to refresh his memory about SFI’s Basics, Compensation Plan and its Rules.
5. Will inform him about the latest addition to games/contests and other changes.
6. Will intimate him about the additional entry-‘Survey responses’ in the daily tasks recently included in the“to do list”-which fetches an extra VP daily or additional 30 AVPs in a 30- day month!
7.. Will assure him that he will get all the help & guidance from me now even though he /she was not logging in and carrying out the daily, weekly tasks earlier.
As a matter of fact I will motivate him/her more and give him/her extra support than last time.
Will treat him/her like a lost stray sheep who has rejoined its flock!
8.Finally,I am happy to reveal that with this type of motivation and sympathetic concern I had one of my inactive PSAa bounce back & perform well to become a BTL.
Hope this helps!!

Hello Ovidio

Yes Ovidio, In my opinion with out a doubt. There are
a lot of factors an affiliate leave after a short or
long time in the business and suddenly decide to come back.

- Probably didn't understand the business.
- May not have enough help from up line.
- May not the right time due to personal reason
- May not be what he/she thought to be and also
- Didn't earn enough income as easy as he/she thought.

Those and may be other factors made him/her to be inactive
On SFI.
But when an affiliate come back for the second time why not
Embrace and accept him/her with open arms.

Even SFI encourage you to do that when you have a down line
Either PSA/CSA who has not logged in for a long time to encourage
Them to log in to their home page, and also give you a reminder by marking
A red sign next to his/her name who hadn't log for a while, and around their
year anniversary to contact them before their name removed from the system.

I have been here just for a short time but I have an affiliates who came back
After six or seven months of absence do to my constant team emails, and
E cards encouragement to come back and work with me and my team.
And some did. So as long as they are on your list why even wait till
They come back, you also have the opportunity to bring them back.

Probably that what they want to hear and know, there is someone out
there who cares for them.

When he/ she come back on their own all you have to say is you
Are very glad to see him/her coming back after long absence, and
You are ready to help them to succeed here at SFI in every possible
Way and you and your team are there to make it happen to achieve
His/her goal and dream.

Please do this with conviction and truly from your heart.
