In order for new PSAs to commit to SFI, two things must happen.

1. They must believe that SFI is legitimate and has developed a proven history of members who have achieved their financial goals.
2. They must believe in their own ability or potential to be able to achieve success.

In both points, the sponsor is the primary person who has the opportunity and responsibility to assure them that SFI is creditable and that there is ample proof that they can succeed with or without previous experience.

Just simply stating the facts of SFI’s 17 year history of success to the new PSA is, many times, not enough for them to commit to SFI. Many people don’t respond to just facts but need to experience commitment from their sponsor over a period of time before they can commit to SFI.

Commitment usually is the result of growing confidence and trust which is fostered over time through positive experiences and growing familiarity . Furthermore, it is usually not a one time event but comes in degrees as it increases and decreases depending on positive and negative factors.

Here are some actions points that may help in encouraging new PSA’s to commit to SFI.

1. Establish two way communication. I have found that one of the first indications that a new PSA is willing to try SFI and has a good chance of continuing past the first month is if they communicate back to me. This small action is really huge and needs to be fostered in the beginning however small and regularly continued. So establishing good communication is one of the first steps in encouraging commitment.

2. Once you’ve established communication . . . get to know their concerns, doubts, reservations, dreams and expectations. Address these in a realistic way and point them to real life examples or from your own personal experience.

3. Help them understand that growing their SFI business is possible by explaining the different parts of SFI and show how they work together. Breaking things down into smaller parts helps to dispel the confusion and feeling of being overwhelmed that may cause hopelessness and early drop out.

4. Track your new PSA’s activity during their first month. When they take their first PSA ‘baby steps’, send encouraging messages. When you see that they have completed their ‘Daily Actions’, used their PSA Mailer, uploaded their profile picture, etc. . . . send them an E-Card and reinforce the value of what they just did.

5. Show them they are not alone. Don’t wait for your PSAs to ask you questions. Take the initiative to ask them how they are doing or send appropriate tips or congratulations of achieving a small step. Once you have initially established a connection with them, it usually helps to ‘pop in’ on them even if it is just a friendly “Hello”. People usually need to know that you are still there, interested in them and have not abandon them.

6. Direct them to the testimonial section in the Forum and to specific posts where they can see that normal people like them who have little to invest or marketing skills have grown their SFI business successfully.

7. Introduce and direct them to become A2A friends with SFI leaders in their country. Suggest that they ask these leaders about their experience in building their business. Take the initiative to 'friend' these country leaders yourself and get to know their success stories so that you can direct your new PSAs to the most appropriate leaders.

8. Explain the simplicity and power of duplication. Show how a 125 TCredit Pack ’Standing Order’ of just $36.25/month multiplied by 5 on each of 5 levels will earn them $13,000 per month. Send them forum posts and documents on this subject.

I send an e-mail welcoming any new PSA, and in it I highlight the first steps in the journey with SFI, and also mention the new NMP Pack.

I follow that with an e-card, advising them about the e-mail, in case they missed it, and I do that to every single affiliate that joins my team.

Some respond straight away, just sending a " thank you ", or asking for more information. This are the affiliates that usually will keep working SFI.

I also have series of e-mails I send for about 3 weeks with tips, this works well for me.

Some affiliates will not respond to any form of communication, but I persevere and had some affiliates that have started working the program, after being inactive for 7 months, and have gone to team leaders.

Just keep in contact with every single member of your team, some do not commit for reasons of finance, or health or are just skeptical. Your perseverance will pay back

Hello, this is a vital question in SFI indeed.

Before going directly to the question, I’d like to emphasize the importance of understanding and putting DUPLICATION in practice.

As we know, teaching new affiliates to follow your steps, i.e., duplicating yourself, is the key to maximize your income and make your earn big in SFI. According to the SFI Glossary, “If you can achieve a high degree of ‘duplication’ in your organization, you can ‘be in a hundred places at one time’ and able to grow your business rapidly through the efforts of others”.

That said, I tell you that the BEST way to start thinking in DUPLICATION is building a solid and acknowledged profile. New PSAs want to feel safe in their sponsor’s hands and, somehow, they want to “taste” success beforehand. Through a multiple-badge, highest rank possible profile, we can cause these feelings and impress our affiliates – that’s what we call “LEADING BY EXAMPLE”.

And THAT’S THE POINT! If you want your PSAs to take SFI seriously, and show Passion and Commitment, Be The First to show that you are also doing your best, and not only that you BELIEVE SFI, but that you are really committed to Success.

One more thing that I consider Essential to Succeed in Upgrading your PSAs is GOOD and FREQUENT COMMUNICATION! Nowadays, there are so many channels to do so. Choose the ones you consider the best, and keep information flowing.

In my opinion, that’s it Natalee – LEAD your PSAs BY EXAMPLE and don’t give up COMMUNICATING with them at least once a week to mentor them appropriately!

Success!!

Your first duty as a sponsor is to let all your new PSAs know that SFI is a business, a real business which every affiliate joins in order to earn income. Let them know that SFI works for all affiliates when they earn income from the actions they take in the business daily. These actions can be classified broadly as follows:

1. You earn income from selling your own products/services.
2. You earn income from commissions from helping to sell other affiliates’ products.
3. You earn income from earning VersaPoints for your sales/actions activities.
4. You earn residual income as commissions from the activities of all your affiliates (PSAs and CSAs).
5. You earn income on VersaPoints “matching” from the activities of your affiliates up to 12 generations downline.
6. You earn residual income as commissions from the sales made by the E-Commerce Associates, ECAs you introduced into the business.
7. All these commissions are aggregated and paid to you monthly.

To be sure that they earn these incomes, these here below are things they must be committed to and routinely do in order to earn big in the business.

- Log in daily and earn as many VersaPoints, VP as you can.
- Do your daily, weekly and monthly activities routinely to earn VP.
- Advertise/promote your Gateways to recruit PSAs.
- Use all other effective marketing methods to recruit PSAs.
- Promote/advertise TripleClicks products/services to make sales.
- Take advantage of all the marketing tools/methods SFI provides freely to make sales and recruit PSAs.
- Earn enough VP monthly to become Executive Affiliate, EA and maintain a minimum of that rank monthly.
- Read widely in SFI and take all income-boosting lessons as part of the tools provided for the business.
- Join the forums and share your ideas and worries with fellow affiliates.
- Take advantage of the tips SFI gives daily.
- Belong to a2a and share ideas and tips with fellow affiliates.
- Participate in PriceBenders auctions.
- Have fun and learn the business from Trivia/Zebra games provided.

If you manage to get all your new PSAs to understand thoroughly the foregoing, it is possible to get them fully committed to the business.

I hope you find this answer helpful.

Showing commitment is the key to growing your SFI business. While there are significant number of inactive PSAs there are ways to reduce this figure and get new PSAs to show commitment.

Practice the “being an awesome sponsor” concept. Such leadership role provides the motivation for new PSAs to show commitment. New PSAs need leaders to guide them and you have to lead by example for them to show commitment.

Focus on their training needs to build up their confidence in handling the business. Teach them about duplication etc. Once the confidence is there, new PSAs will build up momentum and they feel committed.

Maintain the communication flow. New PSAs could be asking a flow off questions to clear their doubts. Timely communications is vital to build up their SFI business knowledge and boost their commitment.

Teach them how to set goals, measure performance and take corrective action for deviations. Upon achieving some of the goals they feel they have made some progress and will feel committed.

Reward them for progress for example reassigning PSAs, participating in Co-Ops etc.

Instil in them the fact that SFI is your own business and run it like you own the business.

We have to be committed to SFI ourselves before we can expect our PSAs to commit to SFI.

As we don’t know the exact reason for their joining even though it says on their Profile, we need to know their core desires otherwise it will be a real struggle to get them committed to SFI.

Some of them really have no idea what they want out of SFI, except to earn money as soon as they can.

To even suggest to them to set up a Standing Order, as recommended but not compulsory, there will be lots of problems and obstacles for students and others who have no credit card.

Others with a demanding job will find it difficult to commit their time even to log in daily in order to earn Daily VP, although may be able to afford to set up a Standing Order.

So we try to do the best we can to motivate and encourage them, without pressure. We can show them we care by being there for them by communicating in any way we can. Sharing with them our success will emphasise the long term benefit of a residual income from building their SFI business through commitment and hard work.

Help them to see the Big Picture.

IN TRYING TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION, I WISH TO REMIND THE READERS ABOUT THE POPULAR SAYING, "You can lead a horse to a water source but can NOT force the horse to drink"

1. Same way with SFI -- believers now in SFI know that we have the BEST proven online business opportunity in the world today, bar none.

2. Many of the newer current SFI affiliates do NOT understand why only 1 to 3 % of new PSAs stay active after 3 months (my understanding of the probable real SFI statistics in the 17 years that I have worked the SFI opportunity since Day 1 - that we must know and must incorporate in our own strategies in building our own SFI business.

3. If you give some credence to my 2 statements above, then you should arrive, on your own, to the only realistic ANSWERS to the QUESTION above:

A. Work the numbers. Keep bringing in NEW PSAs. The bigger the size of your PSAs then the bigger the number of PSAs you get who will commit to SFI. REMEMBER, that some current active PSAs took a while before they see the Pot Of Gold for serious workers.

B. Prepare your best Welcome Email, using previously published SFI Sample Welcome Email
and some previously Forum shared Welcome Emails -- like this from Robet Costa, https://www.sfimg.com/forum/thread?id=218

C. REMEMBER, try NOT to keep sending "nagging" emails to your PSAs/downline. A Welcome Email and weekly or bi-weekly follow-up emails should be enough. SHARE YOUR OWN EXCITEMENT AND POSITIVE EXPERIENCES IF ANY, LATEST EXCITING ALERT SFI NEWS, EXCITING ITEMS YOU SEE AT TRIPLECLICKS/SFIMG AND OCCASIONAL EXCITING FORUM POSTS AND ASK SC THREADS/ANSWERS.

D. REMEMBER,SFI send enough follow-up emails starting with its Welcome Email To All New Affiliates -- so be careful of "spamming" your PSAs.

E. USE MY FORMULA - to develop my organization of more than 520K: Give Your Very Best In Three Years Or More, In Recruiting PSAs. Use MASSIVE ADVERTISING/RECRUITING of PSAs.

SUMMARY: The More PSAs You Pour In, The More New PSAs You Get Who Will Commit To SFI.

Your approach to this question is going to determine the success of your PSA. It is very important to show a high level of interest in your PSA as soon as he or she registers with SFI. There are some important actions that you need to take immediately, these include
(1) Welcome the PSA with a warm greetings and help him to appreciate the decision he has just taken as one of the best in recent times.
(2) Show him the need to be on the fast track
(3) Tell him step by step how to be on the fast track
(4) Help him to understand the long run effect of being a fast track member. The fact that every fast track member will enjoy 10% of their total versa point at the end of every month that they are EA.
(5) Show them how to increase their versa points through taking actions on the "To do List"
When you do the above, your PSA will likely begin to get commited to their business.

We cannot GET anyone to commit to something unless they are committed to themselves first.

Committing to SFI is something that comes from within a person..they have to have the desire to better themselves, they have to want to do something other than make their boss rich.

We as Affiliates already in the business, need to make sure we have the proper mind-set to explain this business to others.

Everyone is not qualified to do what we do...oh SFI is wonderful, however, not everyone can do what we do. So I would suggest the following, first get their attention and how you do that is by recruiting one on one...I love to recruit one on one.

I find out what my prospect likes, dislikes, what he or she needs, what they want out of life and then I go from there.

I don't get my people committed after joining SFI, I get them committed before I sign them up, then you have someone whom you can work with, train, and show them how to duplicate what you are doing.

I hope this helps in answering your question!
Aim High and Dream Big...and look for those Diamonds in the rough, they will make you a Diamond Team Leader!

For person to fully commit to anything, he or she must fully understand what they are committing to and can see the benefits of their labour or being committed either for themselves or others.

Ones they clearly have these, passion will develop and you will have committed SFI members. They will not stay committed for long is there is no passion.

Your role therefore as the sponsor, if you are to have committed members, is to ensure that your new PSAs quickly come to understand what SFI is about and its great potential benefits. You need to be passionate about SFI and this will naturally come through your communications with them. Explain SFI and show them how the business works., show then examples, be a role model, a helper, a mentor, encourage them and be a leader for them.

I generally give them an overall 'big picture' view of SFI at the very beginning and then help their development by allowing them to source further information through their own reading and lessons. I encourage them to ask questions of me as well.

Further to what I have said above, you also need to demonstrate to them your own commitment to SFI and to them. You do this by:

- the positive and encouraging way you communicate with them: responding to their questions and calls for help and guidance,
- by the way you are involved within SFI: taking part on the Forum, ASK SC, A2A, Standing Orders, Games & Auctions,
- by reaching and/or maintaining an appropriate rank, VP Streak, EA Streak etc..
- by adopting the 'how to be an awesome sponsor' strategy

If you are not fully committed to SFI, despite what you say to your PSAs, they will struggle to commit to SFI.
