First you have to be able to get in contact with them. I find that usually encouragement is no issue once you built a rapport with them. Either through email, the SFI Chat feature, Team mail, Skype, etc. it doesn't matter.

If you don't establish contact, even if you offer to pay $20 for them to buy the NMP pack, they will not take you up on it because they don't bother to read their emails.

Once you have establish contact, it is slightly easier. Teach them the step by step. Show them the compensation plan and discuss where they feel they're comfortable to focus on. Once they realise that they can come to you to discuss, then you have the makings of a great affiliate.

This was my question when I joined SFI.

I tried to experiment with myself. And it worked too.
Later I realised that without funds too, we can build good team because SFI has such unique tools.

1. New E-Cards are the best method to encourage PSAs to stay active. Send some tips on regular basis. Don't forget to congratulate them with New E-Cards.

2. PSA and CSA mailer should be used effectively . To inform latest news and regarding working with business. Include link of your Leadership Page at end.

3. When they became EAs reassign them with PSAs instead T-Credits ( if No Fund) .
You can also win free T-Credits at T-Time and transfer to New EAs or BTLs to encourage them.

4. Try to get in touch on social networks or by mails or SFI Chat, so that you can build a good business relation.

5. Play games: Win T-Credits or MRPs so that you can purchase T-Credit Pack 1 and transfer to PSAs

6. Daily Crown : Win $20 Gift Certificate and transfer a part of it to PSAs

7. Daily Grand : Win MRPs again buy T-Credits Pack 1 and transfer to PSAs

8. Advance to EA2 or BTL : Earns 10-12 T-Credits, transfer to PSAs

9. Sharing the awesome prizes at E365, really it works. Because the prizes are in Cash too for some simple daily actions. Which attracts more affiliates too.

10. Sharing them about New Sign Up Bonus also encourage PSAs. And without funds they are already credited with $20 Sign Up Bonus. It's the best encouragement provided officially.

11. W3 Program has advantageous rewards to encourage PSAs when we don't have funds.

12. Organising New Contest is the best way to encourage PSAs, and rewards could include as stated above which doesn't require any funds to invest in them

We are Successful only when our Downline is Successful, So always try to Make Downline Successful.

Fund is not required to keep ones PSAs active. What is required of a sponsor is the believe he/she has in SFI and be able to guide his/her team to grow. When you have no fund but have PSAs who are faithful to their SFI business, these are ways to encourage them;

1. Be a source of encouragement to them. Make your team mails a motivational tool to them regularly. In your newsletter to them, appreciate their efforts at moving up and give them tips to move further.

2. Be the resource person for your PSAs. Make it a duty to alert your PSAs of new development in SFI like any new product, games, policy change or testimony of encouragement. Tell them when the new Spin and Win begins. This activities will encourage them a lot.

3. Be their guardian. Always inquire periodically from your PSAs if their is any issue, on their SFI business, they need you to put them through. You guide will keep them active.

4. Always remind them to aim high to earn big. They deserve to be at the top and you always proud having them in your team.

With these few tips,I believe your PSAs will remain active.

Encouraging PSAs to stay active is not all about investing money alone. You strongly motivate them to get and remain active even when you do not have money to invest on them.

Do the following if you have no money to invest on them.

Teach them step by step on how to start their SFI business beginning with getting started and the SFI basics.

Answer any questions they may have promptly, correctly and honestly.

Congratulate them on every new achievement.

View their ledgers, review their actions and advice them .

Share your own SFI business experiences with them.

Without any form of compulsion advice them on the importance and need for a minimum of 1500 VP standing order.

Be frank with them and let them know SFI is not a multi- level marketing business, not a get rich quick.

Teach them better by example.

Link up with them on a more personal platform like watsapp for a closer communication.

If you own a website or blogger you can let them advertise on it.

Best Regards.

Who ever is joining SFI is an Independent Contractor. It means the new affiliate is in an on line business.

As long as the new affiliates look at SFI as a serious business opportunity, they will learn things quickly and do their best to grow and succeed.

In short, they will not depend on their Sponsors or Up line for their growth.

Such serious minded affiliates will stay communicated with their Sponsors and seek answers as and when required. The Sponsors should be happy finding such gems in their Movers regularly.

As for as inactive PSAs in a Team, there can be umpteen number of reasons for them to remain so. Many reasons can be genuine. Those people need to be respected. The best that the Sponsors can do in those cases is to keep encouraging them by sharing the various opportunities being provided by SFI, regularly without bombarding them with so many mails or messages on a daily basis.

We can always live with hope that they may get back into active mode soon.

There are other set of people who will remain inactive because they got in to SFI with a wrong notion that they can earn huge income over night without doing any serious activities on a daily basis Nothing could be done to activate them because they got in to a mind set. Even offering Gift Certificates or TCredits, etc will not help. You can not break their mind set.

Conclusion:

1. The best thing is to work with the workers & guide them to grow & advance slowly but steadily.
2. Investing your precious time will be the best investment.
3. Share tips that can help them to grow their business.
4. Share your achievements.
5. Provide them more and more Testimonials of other Affiliates regularly.
6. Make them understand that they have immense potential to succeed & its their own business.
7. Remain their trust worthy friend!

To have funds to invest in your business would be ideal as it will ensure you have a good start.

But lack of funds need not hinder you to do your best to encourage your PSAs to stay active in SFI.

Invest your time instead, far more valuable and precious than money, if there is no caring involved.

For no matter how hard you hug your money, if you have it, it never hugs you back.

So use your precious time to teach, nurture, motivate and encourage your PSAs so they’ll stay active and engaged.

Ensure they understand what it takes to succeed by emphasising the need to apply what they learn and not merely read and review the SFI BASICS and the 30 lessons in the LaunchPad. To follow THE PLAN and to be guided by SFI Rules of Success will be critical to their success.

There are also other great ways to help your PSAs to stay active by reassigning PSAs and CSAs to start their own team.

And by giving free shares IN your personal co-op when your PSAs show commitment and seriousness about SFI and are reciprocating your genuine desire to encourage and motivate by increased participation and productivity.

So give them something to aim for, with your effective leadership, they can aspire and emulate you as they see your numerous Badges as proof of your accomplishments, and thus will come duplication- the eventual result of the time you invested in them.

How do you encourage your PSAs to stay active in SFI when you have no funds to invest in them?

That's a nice question and I will try to answer that with my own example because I too don't have funds to invest in my PSAs but I am still able to make my PSAs active in SFI.

Being a retired person and having very less amount at my disposal I needed more funds for my older days. I was looking to work from home because commuting daily was not feasible as I used to get tired very soon. So I decided to work purely from home itself and joined SFI through Facebook. First I read all tabs in SFI and when I was very confident then I decided to sponsor new PSAs. Learning everything was necessary for me because I didn't want to be seen an ignorant person to my own PSAs. So the first thing we have to do is learn everything. This doesn't involve spending money on PSAs. When my PSAs ask me anything anytime I am able to clear their queries satisfactorily.

The second thing we must do is to teach our PSAs how to play free games in Tripleclicks. By playing games we enable our PSAs to win prizes from Daily Crown. We must ask them to play T-Time every hour so that we can get some FREE TCredits when we win T-Time. I win 8-10 times every month and I have taught my PSAs also how to play and win FREE TCredits by playing T-Time.


When my PSAs win FREE TCredits they naturally stay active.

Third thing which I do to make my PSAs to stay active is to ask them to visit ASK SC and Forum tabs regularly. This way they learn many things about SFI . I ask them to post regularly in Forum and when they do it they stay active.

The fourth thing which I do to make my PSAs remain active is by asking them to set their own goals in SFI. When they set their goals themselves it motivates them to log in daily and this way they remain active.


It's obvious from above that without spending any money on my PSAs I am able to keep them active.

Encouragement comes in many forms that require no money:

1) Compliments and feedback: Sometimes, all a person needs is to hear that he or she is doing something correctly.
2) Additional training: If you can teach someone about an aspect of SFI he or she hasn't been using, there's definitely a benefit here.
3) General discussion: Get on a messenger, be it the SFI chat client or Skype, and just talk to your PSAs. They appreciate the connection and the interest.
4) Other action: If you have a skill, apply it on a PSA's behalf. I do graphic design, for example, so I can help a PSA by making a business card for him or her. I generally do a low-res version for use on the Internet and another at printer resolution, so he or she can take it to a local printer for use off-line. If you've got skills at translation, you may be more useful than Google Translate! A little creativity here can go a long way.

Great question. It seems to be an ongoing problem in building a team of active affiliates.

This is where the power lies.

Get connected with them, When I say connected I mean actually become a very important part of their lives.

How do we achieve this?

They can simply ignore their emails when life gets busy so with their permission ask when is a convenient time to give them a call.

Strategise and plan with them. Discuss their goals and state the steps you as an upline will take to assist them in reaching those goals.

Probe them in a sense that you know their personal goals intimately and then assist them to achieve it. This is coaching of an upline. Throwing money at them will get them excited for a few days and boom rock bottom again. I personally think that is a waste. I would not spend a dime on an associate knowing they are inactive.

So I will make it more easy for .... Your first couple of lines in your email to them would be,....

Greetings SO&SO,

You chose SFI for a reason and that reason is that you seek not only financial freedom but time freedom to make a better impact in this world. To leave a great legacy. What is your intended legacy?

Pleasse contact me on 000 000 000 so that we can plan and discuss a business strategy that will work for you based on your own individual situation.

It is all in the content that you feed your downline. How you approach them in email , how you connect and actually sincerely care for their lively hood.

Stop telling them what to do... SFI BASICS etc etc... if they are worthy they should know all that.... instead ask them exactly what they struggling with and take it from there. be as helpful as possible.

If they dont budge move on and focus on gaining more affiliates... Its numbers game....

hope this helps.

It is not clear from your question whether you are asking about investing funds in getting PSAs or investing in them when they are already in your team. I will address both issues in order to clear any doubts.

When you want to build a team (PSAs and CSAs), you invest both time and funds to get them. This could be through your own advertising or through buying from say PSAs to go. If you do not have enough funds to get them, then it is a good idea to focus on free advertising and also apply offline marketing techniques such as the distribution of flyers or face-to-face encounters.

When PSAs or CSAs are already in your team, it is more important to invest your time rather than funds in them. By this I mean you should find time to communicate with them, as it is the only way you can transfer or duplicate your ideas to them. I think it is not necessary to invest more funds in them at this stage.

Your role as a sponsor does not mean you have to buy affiliates for them or generally do their work. The more time you spend corresponding with them the more you will know what help they need and a good relationship with them will promote team bondage and help your PSAs to stay active.
