There is no hard, fast, nor reliable method to solve this problem. New affiliates sign up to begin for many reasons:

1. SFI is so successful?
2. Was it their dream?
3. Earning an online income?
4. Start growing a second income from home?
5. To sign up to SFI is free?
6. Boredom; and SFI looks like a time killer, but potentially interesting and alluring?
7. Referral from someone?
8. Referral from you?

The fact is they have to want to join, for the right reasons, and must have the determination to learn, read, grow and succeed, the desire to want to create wealth, it has to be a passion, invested in daily, they must know it is time consuming and hard work – definitely not a get rich quick scheme.

Only then, do you stand a chance of keeping them active and preventing them from quitting.
Yes, you can send them a welcome e-card, and a welcome message or email, and perhaps gift them a Tcredit or Gift Card/Certificate, but unless that desire lies within them, your efforts will be 9 times out of 10 fruitless.

Don’t waste your time with quitters and non-believers, focus on those few you can convince and support into being your tomorrows leaders, or better yet, where your money lies – profit. Seek out the diamonds from the stones, it takes only one email to determine someone’s true ambitions within SFI and whether they will quit and run or stay the course.

Generally, if they have signed up, not completed any actions/VP’s, and have never logged in again, chance are they won’t, move on, for every few stones lies a diamond. Focus on buying your PSA’s and investing in S Builder Co-ops. That way you are guaranteed a higher success rate of a PSA not quitting on you.

To start with, most people join SFI without a prior knowledge of what the business entails. People most of the times are looking for money just by the click of the mouse. Besides, some sign up just for mere curiosity and a lot of work has to be done to get them committed to the business. Lots of tire-kickers over there.

However, there are some that give up on the business because of lack of understanding, information overload, lack of time or money, language inadequacy or because they are not computer savvy to have a breakthrough in an online business like this.

Therefore, the first thing to do is to make explain the nitty-gritty of the business to the new affiliates. You need to make abundantly clear to them that it is not a get rich quick scheme but such that guarantees residual and leverage income for them for life. They need to see the big picture so that they see the business as worthwhile.

You need to open up communication channel and explain the need to be active in the business; the benefits of being on top of their class in the E365 competition; the benefits of going fast track etc.

Assure them that no matter what language they speak they would find affiliate that can help them in their language through a2a. There are other languages being spoken at the Forum apart from English. That SFI is truly international and evolving to remove all international barriers to the internet business.

You should introduce things that can keep them busy in the scheme like Eager Zebra games: so many games to choose from, Card King, Gold Streak, NCCA ..... and many of them have free entries and with lots of fun. They can even win business building prizes like CSAs, TCredits etc

Introduce PriceBenders auctions to some that can invest some money on TCredits. Explain to them great discounts on brand items even more that 90% off retail with many business building items like PSAs, CSAs, TCredits that could be won.

Inform them of the need to sponsor affiliates and refer TripleClicks customers. Tell them of lots of free places and media they can use in advertising free. And when they can afford it, a host good paid adverts platforms.

The importance of remaining active should be stressed as failure to be active robs them of gains they acquire like their badges that could help them win new affiliates, CSAs won, E365 prizes etc.

There are many testimonials you could refer them to at the Forum as well as share success stories you have heard from others and yours too. Keep painting the picture of great prospects of the scheme.

I believe these among others could greatly enhance their enthusiasm and activity in SFI.

You have touched on a subject that is of genuine concern to anyone building a team; “the new affiliate signs up on day 1 and never logs in again!”

Although as a sponsor one can do more to overcome it, this problem is largely due to the type of affiliates who are signing up. In my view, there are three categories:


1. Those who are really serious about finding a home based business.
2. Those who are looking for a business that will give them instant monetary returns.
3. Those who are just jumping from one scheme to another.


Experience has shown that for every hundred or more new signs ups that you get, only a fraction will stay active. This fraction can be found in category 1 above and this is the type that every team leader aspires to work with.

When the sponsor receives a new sign up, the ideal response is to send a letter of welcome and make the affiliate feel at home, providing the necessary help he or she needs to get started without being overwhelmed with information. Now, imagine that you have done all this to hundreds of your new sign ups and only a few of them even bother to read or reply to your letter. The point I am getting at here is that, it is not necessarily your fault.

Is there a solution? Yes there is and that is never to give up but instead stay persistent in both your offline and online recruitment campaigns. Because of face-to-face interaction, it is true that, it is faster to build trust with those coming from offline marketing. For online recruitment, advertise, advertise and advertise! Eventually you will get the quality. Just five or more active PSAs maintaining their EA status every month and practicing the process of duplication is a foundation of a quality team.

It will take sometime but you will get there!

In a nutshell , keep it a NUTSHELL .
Lead them to SFI Basics , the Launchpad , SFI Rules of Success.
Answer all their questions, and send out a very warm welcome.Let them know that you are always available to guide them. Ensure they know how and when they may reach out to you.
Thereafter , please acknowledge and accept that you have done your duty. At all costs, no matter how desperate YOU are to achieve your personal goals . resist the temptation and desperation to hound the Prospects.
The latter is negative influence and is EXTREMELY off putting to newbies.
Naturally , you may feel the urge to go full throttle to succeed in your personal goals.
That aspiration should never be the excuse or license to abuse the free-will or independence of ANY affiliate. Resoect engeders respect.

There are many reasons why affiliates join and leave and I would like to list some of the main reasons for their premature departure from the program. This will help us understand better how to retain them.

Why do they leave?

1. They do not understand how "points" are converted into "cash"

2. Those international affiliates whose primary language is not English, have difficulty comprehending the concept of building a team and how that will generate an income. The rest of the details is irrelevant for them. It seems too much of a chore to find out more.

3. For some who are looking to receive immediate benefits, are disappointed that this scheme is not a quick-rich one where you can rely on a monthly income when you have no job.

4. It is common for affiliates to join without having any support from the Sponsor and they feel let down. They believe that it is the responsibility of the Sponsor to guide them. It is a psychological set-back for them to be in business and not have a supportive Sponsor.

How do you retain your new affiliates?

This is very similar to having customers. Getting customers is probably easier than retaining them (where you must work harder). Joining new affiliates and recruiting them is probably a lot easier than retaining them to become active in the team.

You have to follow simple rules and these are defined by your personal commitment to SFI.

- Communicate with your affiliates, be there for them even if they do not need help;
- Build a relationship with your affiliates, develop trust and show your progress to them;
- Do not assume that they are capable - ask if they need assistance;
- Provide them with information that will help them make decisions regarding their business
- Go the extra mile. Help also means boosting their morale, confidence and giving them incentive to move forward.

Like somebody else said - if you find a real working plan how to do it - let the rest of us in on the secret.

Maybe we should first try to figure out why they do that. I will give you my best ideas on that. Whether I am right or wrong..... who knows?

They are searching the internet for ways to make a quick buck - SFI looks like a good way - especially now that they see they get a sign-up bonus. As soon as they sign up they see they have to actually work to earn money and the sign-up bonus is not going to be paid out to them in cash right there and then. Because they are not looking for work just for easy money - they loose interest immediately.

Some sign up and because English is not their 1st language they look at all the information, feel overwhelmed and think they will never understand all of it and they just give up.

It is also possible that they are just curios to see what it is all about and sign up to have a look - no intention to stay.

Their circumstances might change and they just do not have the time or even the means to carry on working.

Keeping these things in mind - do your best but do not set yourself up for disappointment. Keep on sending them your weekly newsletters but do not give them gift certificates. It is possible they will come back, use the gift certificate and then stay away again.

Rather spend your efforts, time and money (if you can afford it) on your movers - they need you and your support more and frankly - they deserve it more.

Thank you for asking a question that most affiliates wrestle with nearly every day if they want to succeed. If there is one foolproof answer, I haven't found it but I will continue to search for it. I have learned that communication and commitment are two very important keys to use with your new recruits. Send a welcoming message as soon as you get the notification. Introduce yourself and let them know that you are committed to them and to their success. Give them your contact information and that you are available to help them. Encourage them to get started on their Launchpad Lessons. I encourage them to take notes and to write down any questions that they have. If you are contacted, reply as soon as possible. Be polite and courteous at all times.
Each of us has been a new affiliate so we know that it is easy to get overwhelmed by all the information we have to learn and become discouraged. I remember thinking that when my sponsor was talking about PSAS, CSAS, MRP, VP, etc., he was speaking a language that I had never heard before and wasn't sure that I could learn. He was patient with me and he believed that I could succeed. His confidence in me was the main factor that kept me going when I felt like giving up! He taught me to aim high and dream big. His example is the example that I follow.

You really cannot make someone work at SFI if they are not interested. You could try to entice them to rethink about becoming active again.

When you notice that they have not signed into SFI for a couple of days, send them a E-Card, something like the following.

How are you doing today? Good I wish for you.

I have noticed that you have not signed into your SFI business for the past few days, and was wondering, if there was a way that I can help you to keep working with you, building your new home-base business?

If you are looking for a Real home-base business where you can earn several different income streams, you have found it with SFI and TripleClicks.

If you are willing to work your SFI and TripleClicks business, then your SFI and TripleClicks business will work for you.

SFI and TripleClicks is not a Get-Rich-Quick business. There is no such thing as a Get-Rich-Quick business out there, if there was, everyone would be working it. Who doesn't want to get Rich Quick?

I also would like for you to know that, there is support all around for you, to help you to keep learning in SFI and TripleClicks.

So, if you are really seeking a wonderful business opportunity, to be able to build your very own home-base business, sign in today, and start reading, learning and applying what you are learning.

Build up your knowledge, learn new experiences in internet marketing, team work, sales, team building and so much more.

While you are learning, you will be earning. Not a lot at first of course, for there is some work involved to becoming a successful with your own SFI and TripleClicks business.

Only you know what you want from a home-business opportunity, all I can do is let you know that you have found the best home-business opportunity already. You just have to make it work for you.

I look forward to you signing back into SFI and TripleClicks and working with you. But, if this business is not for you, I wish you the very best in wherever your journey takes you with much success.

Your Sponsor,

The best way for that is to keep them busy.

Lots of people join SFI and think thats job like every other where someone will tell
them what to do,they will do it and earn money.

But here we build our team and create our private busines with SFI and TripleClicks.

And thats importand to tell new affiliates,but when they start working they are easy confused,
so you cant throw all information on them in one day.

So the best way will be to actually tell them exactly what to do for first couple days until they
realize how SFI works.

And in my opinion new affiliate who understand what he must do to earn money and how all
this works,he will never quit,after one month working with him and be there for him if he needs you,he will have own ideas and plans for future in SFI and you get yourself a Team Leader.
