Hi Ovidio,

By all means YES. Acknowledge them and appreciate them too. Every affiliate is an asset or at the very worst a potential asset. Even the one that had stayed away for a long time and returns should be welcomed with plenty of enthusiasm. The reasons why an affiliate may stay away from the business could be very many and varied too with some clearly personal. That is why you should welcome them back with enthusiasm irrespective of why they stayed away. My advice is that you should

Definitely. We should definitely welcome the affiliate.
We should immediately send him an E-card with a short welcome note. What we should write is mentioned below-
Hi ~FIRSTNAME,
Welcome back to the team. Hope everything is well now.
I am really happy that you have started once again to create and build your own SFI business.
We were so worried about you during your absence. I am sure that the obstacle or engagement that was keeping you involved, and away from SFI, has been

In my opinion, I think you should. A lot of these work at home companies encourage individuals to join, but they rarely tell them what the next step is to become successful after joining. Frustated, they end up leaving the company because they feel their on their own.

Probably the reason for inactivity is because they don't understand SFI. Welcome them back and offer as much help as possible. Your encouagement lets them feel their not alone.

Certainly, you have to acknowledge him/her having logged in to his/her SFI homepage. It doesn’t matter whether your affiliate has been away for a month, 6 months, a year or more. You really didn’t know what had happened to your affiliate during his/her long absence. It might be due to being busy at work, due to health or financial reasons, or simply was just not focused to SFI being a legitimate internet company that would give him/her a chance to improve his/her current financial independence

If you have been in SFI for any length of time you will experience someone leaving and then returning many months later. That is why it is a good thing that SFI keeps them on your genealogy list for a year before deleting their membership.

When I have noticed an affiliate that has been missing for a long time and has returned, I want to jump into the computer and hug them with my virtual arms, I want to put rings on their fingers and a purple robe to cover them with along with

Your question is not only very interesting but very relevant.

For me, this is one of the most exciting parts of building a team.

Just when you are starting to despair about the many inactives and sleepers in your team, when most of them have been red-flagged, and and a few have opted out, and you are ready to give up on some, one or two of them suddenly log in and start to show activity.

Should you acknowledge this? Of course you should! The moment you notice

Yes, definitely react.

Send them something like this:

Hello Firstname,

Wow, it's been a fair bit since you were last active but I kept a spot in my co-op warm for you but there is work to be done to earn it, and that work requires some training.

I was looking at your VP Ledger and see you have the following list of actions and Launchpad Modules left to complete. If studying is an issues I can help. We can chat on your choice of service and I'll answer all

Absolutely!!! They are still your PSA, and you want to welcome them back to online just like they had been here all along. If you included them in your weekly team letters, they won't be totally lost, just need to refresh their memory by reading Basics and LaunchPads.

And if they have come back after a long absence, it is not unreasonable to hope they will be ready to buckle down and build themselves a business!!!

Yes, by all means, welcome them back with open arms. Send

Hello Friend,

There are many affiliates who gives up after a month or a few months of experimentation with SFI but after realizing the trustworthiness of the system and the effect of real income in SFI, they will come back for a second innings with SFI.

In that case, you should would certainly acknowledge their enthusiasm and willingness to work harder towards their progress because, now, they are more determined than earlier so as their sponsor, co-sponsor or upline leader,

Hi Ovidio, acknowledge the re-appearance of your affiliate. If online, start a chat session with him/her immediately.

What to say?

1. Welcome your affiliate back and make him/her feel wanted;
2. Ask why he/she has not logged in for sometime now. From the statement you may understand the problem;
3. Continue to give relentless supports in form of assistance, encouragement and advice to your affiliate that will help him/her succeed:
a) Teach your affiliate on
