To be a good Sponsor, of course keeping our team engaged all the time, would be a perfect situation. Somehow, the actual situation is so difficult to predict when it comes to the activities of our newly appointed affiliates. There are so many unforeseen circumstances behind the reasons as to why most of the new sign-ups not being active.

However, as a good Sponsor we should:

1) Sent them an e-card or welcome letter immediately after they join, as per notices received
from SFI. Guide them to get started the correct way. Present only the facts and be honest
in your approach with your new sign-ups. Never mention about upgrades until they are
ready. Do not sound greedy!

2) Create rapport and trust. Maybe you can create a group chat on Whatsapps, Skype or any
other social media. This way you are constantly in contact with them, should they need your
assistance on matters pertaining to their daily/weekly or monthly tasks. Not limited to just
your PSAs, you can also add your CSAs to your support group because CSAs activities are
also as important as your PSAs.
SFI instant messaging (IM) is another way to keep line of communication open.

3) Make them feel comfortable and important. The focus is always them not you. Think about
growing your team above your personal gains. In the long run, you will reap the benefits
from activities of your team members. Comes January 2016, emphasis and focus will be
shifted to growing a team rather than achieving ranks of Team Leaders, because it will not
happen if you have no team and active members especially your own PSAs.

4) With the latest changes, like introduction of Signing Bonuses, new Team Leaders
requirements, new Privacy Max etc, you need to be on top of everything. So you are able to
answer should your PSAs/CSAs ask for your input or details of the changes being
introduced.

To summarize, most of new affiliates join without any knowledge about SFI. With the huge information and training materials, could lead them to confusion and as a result, their inactivity. It is the Sponsor's responsibility to ensure that information are disbursed systematically and guidance be made available 24/7. By showing that you care about them, sincerely want to help them to achieve their success, then you are definitely doing the right engagement process and could lead to high and peak performance by your team members. Recognize and reward the achievers accordingly as praises and recognition will create high self-esteem.

Good day Yvonne,

They are various ways to make our new sign ups engaged with SFI,  but remember some will while some won't.  

As a good sponsor, communication is very key especially when we are trying to guide our new sign ups so that they don't loose forcus immediately. How this is done is for us to send them a welcome letter immediately when we receive a notification on our new sign up. In the welcome letter, there must be some salient actions that needs to be addressed for our new sign ups to work on to get them actively involved.

Getting them engaged for longer than a day, we need to check when they are online especially within the first 24hrs time frame. If you are lucky to get them  online, you can tell them to act on actions with a jet in the Getting Started Section in their to do list, within the first 24hrs joined, that they would get 250 bonus versa point.

Also, we need to guide them as well as inform them on the importance of checking the forums and ASKsc answers pertaining to questions that would be of interest that would help build their team as they can't do everything on their own.

Also, as a sponsor, we neee to encourage them to read the SFI BASICS on
their homepage and give room for them to ask questions or clarify any information they are unsure of. in answering their questions, it has to be simple and clear for them to easily understand. usemof such big words might throw our new prospects of balance

Also, with the new $20 signing bonus, it would excite the new affiliate and encourage them to log in because of the benefit they would derive. At the same time enlighten them that such bonus can be increased if they they become a Gold Fast Track Member and that bonuses are paid with commissions on thr 10th of every month spread over 18 months.

Also, to motivate my new sign up member, I would inform them that if they make at least minimum of 800 versa points within the week, that I would offer the affiliate a gift certificate.

The above are some of the ways to get our new sign up active and I do hope that such information is useful.

All the best.

After that you should use its personal address and send personal message.

I believe that first 24 hours are critical, especially the time when new PSA sign up.

If they are online, get in touch with them immediately to see and feel that real person welcomed them.

Be ready and prepared to have good answers to some of their possible questions which may determine them to quit or continue.

Whether new PSA is online or not, send him/her Welcome message with greetings, short introduction of the job and task that they should complete in first 24 hours.

Follow with SFI's Compensation Plan and ways to earn money with the SFI. New PSAs are supposed to see big picture and possibilities to grow income with SFI.

Also, some people don't like too pushy persons, so try to be very polite and leave them possibility to chose is it good for them or not.

Hi,Greetings!
You have asked good and important question about retaining new affiliate for longer than one day.
I hope following few tips may be useful to you for the question you have raised.

As important as it is to work towards improving SFI levels of affiliate engagement, there's no getting around the fact that it can be rather difficult.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
PSA, CO-SPONSOR, SUPPORT TEAM and "higher-up's" need all the help they can get in order to ensure that their affiliates on the right track, especially as businesses begin to grow.
After all, everyone wants to lead their team to success, and sometimes all it takes is a few fresh ideas to help rejuvenate your affiliates and increase their productivity to a large degree. There's no harm in referring to the following employee engagement ideas as soon as they sign up as they can help to bring your team together and encourage empowerment, engagement and improved performance.

Keep these ideas close by and you'll start seeing results in no time.

1. Encourage affiliate to speak up.( send mails and see what his needs)
2. Help your affiliate to get to know each other better (Introduce yourself)
3. Serve as a mentor (get impressed by your affiliate)
4. Reward employee for a job well done (immediately after completion of his/her Profile/Account setting and first day activities)
5. Focus on collaboration & working together (send Welcome note and help tips )
6. Encourage positive health and wellness (Don’t force your affiliate to work faster putting him/her under pressure)
7. Clarify Goals and responsibilities ( affiliates first day activities)
8. Be flexible (be friendly and talk to him as if you are talking to your friend or relative)
9. Help affiliate to move forward in their career or education ( convenience your affiliate that SFI is a additional income for him/her for his career or education)
10. Create a unique SFI environment (Aim High Dream Big)
11. Hold fun in high regard ( ask your affiliate to watch PB/EZ/Daily Grand/T-time events)
12. Let your affiliate focus on( what he/she) what they do best
13. Encourage networking (give brief idea about SFI networks)
14. Make use of Marketing tools (just say one tip on Power/Marketing tools)
15. Encourage your affiliate to work on pet projects/works they interested at first day.

Good luck and all the best.

would say that the vast majority of sign-ups are not really engaged with SFI at the beginning. They are new to SFI and probably know nothing about affiliate businesses. I am always delighted the next day to see that they haven’t opt out. If they are active the next day, that’s even better.

When advertising and talking with prospects, I really make the point of letting them know that SFI is not a ‘get rich quick’ venture. It will take time to grow their business and they will have to work consistently and patiently to ensure success.

The reason why I do this is because I want to reduce the number of people who sign up to SFI with the ‘easy money’ frame of mind.

When they do join SFI, I send them a warm welcoming letter and chat with them if I see that they are online.

In my welcome letter, I also talk about the fact that SFI is not a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and that they have just opened up their own business with the SFI.

I want them to be absolutely clear that they are building their business, that they do not work for SFI and that any monies they make will be due largely to their own efforts. If they don’t work, their business will not grow and they do not get any money.

I am not trying to scare them away, on the contrary. I want them to stay. I try to tell them how great SFI is and that as their sponsor, I am here to help them. I invite them to contact me and to use me.

In my letter, as well as the Start / Basics and Launchpad links, I also include in there, the link comparing SFI with other similar businesses, the link to compensation (how we earn our money) and the link to my leadership page.

That is basically all I do with them on Day 1.

The next day, I check their activities and their status. How I react will depend largely on what they have/haven’t done.

One thing that is common among SFI affiliates is the question on “how to motivate my newly arrived referrals so they will stay long enough to become active?”

When dealing with Internet marketing and a “free” to join marketing company comes with knowing that our ads will draw a lot of people who are just clicking on everything in search of “fast” money or looking for that magic “one button” to success business. This same thing happens even when using paid, and targeted advertising – you will get referrals that for whatever reason, will never even give SFI more than just signing up on the dotted line.

As sponsors we ask ourselves, “What can I do differently so my new referrals will hang around for more than a day or so?”

That is a question that every serious SFI affiliate would like to have the answer for. No matter what we try there are always the referrals that will persistently do nothing and most of them will never even bother to opt-out.

What is my answer for this scenario? – I know this may sound crude but I do not have the time to worry about those who sign up and then go dormant. All my time is taken up in advertising and in supporting the affiliates that are in my team that are working and active.

When a new referral signs up we have a very short window of influence in which we can attempt to stimulate them enough to at least give SFI (or sponsors) a chance to show the real potential of this business.

My suggestion is that your welcome letter needs to be motivating enough to help stir the fire up in every new arrival you receive. Your follow up ECard or Email should also add more passion to what you shared within your welcome letter. If you do not push their buttons (so to speak) during the day they enroll you more than likely will not get a second chance.

The next suggestion is well known – Do not fret over the inactivity of people who enroll and then do nothing – instead focus your attention on helping your active members become team leaders. Yes – “Work with your Movers.”

Hi Yvonne,

This is an interesting question and I'm sure many Afilliates want's to know the answer...

First of all you need to contact your new team members in the shortest possible time on their mail,send them a Welcome message and you give them brief instructions for first steps in SFI (you can input a video into your message)

Then monitor them through their VP Leger to see which tasks are done and send them another mail with sugestions what they did and what they missed to do.

It is advisable to give them at the end of the message you offer help,it is important to them that they can rely on you.

But if a new member after several received messages of support did not started any Starting Actions
you should leave them alone and to focus on new members.

However do not lose hope,many inactive members one day decide to move on and achieve great success in SFI.

Hope this helps

That is the million dollar question. You can do a number of things - but no guarantees - it might or might not work. As long as you do your best there is nothing more you can do. You can not force them to sit down, log in and work. You can not force them to want to make a success.

So what can you do?

Welcome them and engage with them as soon as you find out they were assigned to you or they joined SFI. You can do this with an e-card, a welcome letter, Instant chat (if they happen to be online the same time as you)

You can send them gift certificates or T-credits.
Make sure they know who you are, what your role is and how they can contact you.

If they do not react there is not much more you can do. If you send a lot of mails they might block you because they will see it as spamming.

Keep on sending them you weekly team mail - it might reach one or two of them eventually.

Stay friendly, remind them you are there to help but do not nag or threaten or do anything negative - unless you really want to irritate them and drive them away.
