That is a mysterious question.

"How do you motivate lazy and unmotivated affiliates?"

The short answer is “You don’t”. A person must already not be lazy and be motivated in order to succeed in SFI. Most people who succeed in SFI are already motivated with good work ethics when they sign up. They already know what they want and why they want it.

The only way to get idle affiliates working is to continue sending your weekly mailings. And hopefully one day you will say just the right thing to get them motivated. However, I don’t believe being lazy is a bigger issue as you might think. Humans are inherently lazy. Most of us do as little as possible to reach our goals. Some people call this efficiency.

The good news is that our motivation can easily cut through our laziness if we have a big enough WHY. So when you send out your mailings, be sure to include why they should give SFI a chance. Tell them what SFI has done for you and what it can do for them.

Tell them if they take one step, then you will take two steps on their behalf. Tell them if they invest in themselves, you will also invest in them. Continue to DARE them to try you, by taking that first step. Keep poking at those sleepers and one of them is bound to move.

Periodically, I will get a sleeper to wake up. When this happens, it is important for you to establish a dialog immediately. While you are on your computer, always stay logged into your SFI Affiliate Center. That way, you can begin a chat session if you see one of your affiliates online.

Establishing a connection with my affiliates is the cornerstone of my success in SFI. When I establish a chat session, I promise my affiliates I will build their team for them if they maintain, at least, EA status. And I cash in on that promise by reassigning all my new PSAs to my first level PSAs.

My advice to you is to take heed to the above content and read different types of books on leadership and team building. You can find these books in the Triple Clicks store. Don’t be afraid to ACT on what you learn. You have nothing to lose.

To your success.

Motivation is a key element to building your downline.

It is also difficult to achieve in a long distance relationship with
affiliates and new prospects who you do not yet know.
The key, in my opinion, is to be an open, friendly and trustworthy
Sponsor or Co-Sponsor.

-Make it your daily goal to be Positive and Upbeat in all your
communication efforts to your downline.
Use that same positive attitude with your Forum and A2A activities.

-Get to know your affiliates. Open your relationship by telling them
about yourself, your business and background.

-Invite questions, give lots of tips. Keep your Leadership page current
and complete.

-Que your affiliates in to what is happening with the SFI program
and TripleClicks store.
Make them aware of the many advantages of Affiliate Internet Marketing.

-One great method is to post news of SFI program upgrades and
improvements as they happen.

-Another is to share your special rewards plans for your active team members.

-Encourage them to review the SFI program again with your guidance.

Your confidence and exuberance should show in what your write or discuss.
Make sure you respond to their activity, as quickly as possible.

Again, communication and your personal availability is very important to
your success.

Success is a matter of unrelenting persistence and confidence.
If you exercise both you will succeed.

To activate your lazy and unmotivated affiliates is to:
1. Understand what is demotivating and making them lazy. You can ask them e.g in our affiliate profile, we are asked what is most appealing and repeling about SFI program. Ask them those questions too, that may be the clue to your question.
2. Show them how SFI works and how much they are capable of earning. Show them the way to it: The SFIBASICS. Teach them the basic important things and why they are here.
3. Show them that you care and you want them to succeed. Making yourself available and letting them know can motivate them.
4. Give them incentives such as Tcredit, Shares in your co-op or sign ups, reassignment of PSAs, GC, etc.
Don't just give them, teach them their importance and let them know that you've done so.
5. Recognize their little efforts and magnify it for them at the recognition segment of the forum.
6. Create a leadership contest.
7. Build trust and rappot with those affiliates. Once they are able to trust you, the rest is history.

It was once said by Zig Ziglar that taking a bath is done daily as the benefits of the bathing only lasts for a short time as we all get dirty again - this concept applies to motivation too.

Everyone is bombarded by so many things day in and day out that it becomes quite easy to become de-motivated and loose the fire to move on with SFI. Motivation only carries a person's activity for a brief time then once motivation is gone, people will loose their momentum.

Reasons to loose motivation will vary from person to person but the primary reason for losing motivation is that it was never fulfilling - in other words meaningful. Once this is the case, it is important for leaders or team players to assist each other to find the motivation once more which has fulfillment and not just temporary pleasurable outcomes.

If the leader or team mate is quick to detect that the motivation is simply temporary it is important to immediately step in and help that fellow affiliate to find their TRUE purpose with SFI so that actions that are performed in their SFI business become about feeling fulfilled and not just temporary satisfaction.

Keeping one motivated can be done by using may strategies but it is important to consider if the purpose is strong enough and realistic enough to keep the affiliate moving forward and upward.

Motivation may simply mean:

reminding fellow affiliates their purpose to join SFI by sending a TeamMailer message or an E-card

share stories from other affiliates that give some insight to the struggle that was defeated to become successful

share personal quotes that resonate with you that may help others to stick to it when things get tough

encourage the affiliate to talk directly with others to be socially fed by the energy of others successes

review the "purpose to join SFI" with the fellow affiliate as this may need to be changed due to life circumstances changing

it is never too late to find the spark of motivation to move action forward. So even though internal or external motivation factors for the affiliate are important, I personally believe the following is the upmost important factor necessary to help others who have drifted due to motivation levels dropping:

TEAM ATTITUDE - this is a critical component to an affiliate's success. Does the team share compassion, collaboration and mindfulness - if TEAM ATTITUDE is the issue then the motivation review process needs to happen with others (leaders included).

There is only so much that you can do for them.
All you can do is keep sending them weekly emails and E-cards on whats been happening at SFI.
Send them E-cards offering them your assistance and full support with any questions and help they might need.
I also suggest that you check from which country they are from. There could be a language barrier and maybe they don't understand the emails and E-cards you are sending them.
I always send my down-line my weekly emails and E-cards offering them assistance and help in their home language. Yes it takes time but at least you will be communicating with them in their home language and therefore you could start getting them to work their SFI business.
As soon as you see there is some activity with their logging in, contact them straight away with tips on what to do and how to move forward.
Work with your team and be there for them.

I think basically you will need to find out what motivates them. Everyone has their ON button. It might be family. It might be their parents. It might be that girl next door he's trying to impress by buying stuff cheaply on the internet. No one really know what might motivate another person.

So in the case of our inactive affiliates, what I do is just tell stories. I've had a person reply my teammail when I talked about my kids. I guess the story resonated with them because they feel and want the same thing for their own kids.

Change your strategy once in a while. In your teammail, instead of talking about SFI, talk about yourself. Talk about what you've done. Talk about what you've gained. And use simple words. We are all bombarded with amazing targeted words to make people register under you and buy stuff, so I think we are wary when we see those words being used. So change them.

Simple words would allow your non English speaking team members to translate easily with Google Translate. I tried translating English into my own language once and it didn't translate very well. So simple is better.

How do you motivate affiliates lazy and unmotivated?

Hi Nebojsa Nikolic. in my opinion, they become lazy and unmotivate is because they still do not understand what is SFI, SFI advantage, and how to succeed in SFI. Or maybe they want to find work that they can get rich quick. Or they sign up just to get the topics and learning about marketing.

To motivate lazy and unmotivate affiliates is to:
try to be friends with him, as a starter ask whether he is interested in earning online? Is he interested in working online? or they are only interested in working with the get rich quick. If they respond with a positive answer, continue to communicate with them. Began to explain to them what is SFI, and how SFI works. Explain compact and simple as possible to make them more deeply interested in the SFI. The reason is that people like them mostly do not like lengthy explanation at the beginning. They prefer short but concise explanation. When they show more positive action, then you can give them a clearer explanation.

Hope my answer will help you.
Have a nice day.

Firstly I would not assume that your in-actives are either lazy nor unmotivated.
By way of background I signed up for SFI while I was busy working another affiliate program.
I had a quick look, decided that, interesting as it might be, I did not have the time to learn it all.
I did become active several months later and have not looked back since.

From reading others people's experiences I know I am not alone there.

You may well have VERY motivated and energetic affiliates, but whose attention is elsewhere.
Any communication with them that implies that they just have to be motivated will likely lead to nothing.
You need to approach this from the viewpoint that their time will be better spent at SFI, where they can build a strong and reliable income stream rather than a quick turn MLM scheme or similar.
You also need to demonstrate that SFI is not overwhelming if it is absorbed in bite-sized pieces.
Whatever approach you take I wish you luck!

Unfortunately if people are unmotivated and lazy it is just the way they are.
These type of people are looking for an easy way to earn money and their work ethic and drive is probably very minimal to non existent. There is not much we can do with these type of people.

However, if your affiliates are new to SFI and have just begun the journey here, it may be that they are not lazy or not motivated, it may be that they are just overwhelmed by the information available to us here. In that case, you offer support and help to them as need be, as their team leader.

Some people also sign up at SFI, do some tasks, accumulated a few points and then just decide that for whatever reason this isn't the thing for them. So you may have inactive affiliates because of this reason, and usually if they have decided it is not for them, they will not be interested at this time. But it is not saying that somewhere in the future they may have a change of heart and become active. I have read many stories of this happening with some of our most successful affiliates.

Just keep on sending your genealogy team mails to your downline...you never know when someone will spark up again.
