Thanks for this question since many of us keep wondering why our team members are inactive.

For me, many of my PSA are struggling with investing their time and money, they think any time given to this with money spent may be a waste.
So in addressing these I do the following:

1: I tell them that any thing that will succeed need quality and quantity time.

2: Any one who do not send money on errand should not expect any return or growth at whatever they do.

3:

From my experience thus far in response to this question is the difficulty with perception.

Affiliates want to see growth and commissions immediately as there is a perception that SFI is designed to be quick.

This notion causes frustration for affiliates and has been the reason for opting out.

I will respond to affiliates case by case then address the concern in aTeamMail message without using names. We often need to recognize that SFI is not going to be what we predict

It is obvious even us when we start SFI we struggle in the field which is the "curiosity and doubt" are emerged. Lack of knowledge to do accordingly. We encountered this if our sponsor do not have the effort of following up his downlines (CSA/PSA).

New affiliates struggle when financial burnout strikes and slowing them to stop and give up on what they have started.

To address this kind of situation to our affiliates, we must adhere and adopt to them the motivation

One thing the affiliate struggle most is making time to login. First they are enthousiastic about everything they see and they can do, then it is to much reading(if you don't like reading they get lost) .
I tell them that i have struggle with the same isues and that i make time at the day only for SFI.(just starting with one hour).
Even i'm tired or stressed from work. To do SFI every day it gives you energy,it is fun and you got support if you have questions.

When you do this

I would say, my Affiliates struggles with getting their AVPs for the month inorder for them to maintain their Executive Affiliate (EA) Status.

I address this issue by suggesting to them to Setup a Standing Order of TCredit 125 Pack for them to ensure their EA Status every month without them doing anything on their to do list daily.

If in case they can't afford the SO option, I would suggest for them to take action to promote their SFI Gateway Links specially the Wave3 links

Hello mate:
I humbly believe that the constant struggle of all the members is that their descendants AFF reach EA.
Why do I say this? Well, I think EA reaching one begins to see success open book much closer than I thought, this has an impact that makes the AFF is closer to the business and more interest, especially knowing that now has more ways to make money and succeed .....

And to succeed, "the Affiliate knows," you have to read and learn !!

I hope I

The one thing affiliates struggle the most is uncertainity of their progress in business. By this, I mean, and I think only about daily active affiliates, that they can get discouraged by non-response to their efforts - advertising, daily connecting and fulfilling all the actions, promoting on all levels. The affiliate who performs all necessary actions and more, and after all that effort gets no active PSAs or CSAs, no sales, and no gain, will start to think about turning to some other prospects.

The hardest thing for affiliates to do is to get started. SFI has an ultra simplified SFI Basics page and I usually send this link to them in a ECard welcoming them to my team. I'd love to say that they feel the love . . .but most you never hear from which means they were paid to sign-up from a PTC or PTR site. I try to avoid this advertising like the plague and I don't recommend it to my team.

The rule of thumb is to work with the workers. When someone is serious about getting

My affiliates struggle with burn out, because they want to get money quickly and in order to start earning they sometimes read articles too fast and burn out. So I set out what they will do in bite size pieces.

They also have problems logging in, so, I send emails put team mails up so they will see me everywhere they turn and i don't give up!

Some may have problems getting affiliates some of us are too frightened of rejection so we keep ourselves to ourselves. I tell them with

the first l think is money. most affiliates need money to set up their standing order which gives them opportunity to become to EA. so as a sponsor or co-sponsor always find out about your affiliated financial situation. Language have also been one the thing affecting affiliated. To solved this problem refer your affiliated to GOOGLE TRANSLATION.Help them in financial situations with TCREDITS AND GIFT CERTIFICATE. FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR AFFILIATED LANGUAGE BEFORE COMMUNICATION.THANKS
