When you have affiliates who never do anything--despite your
encouragement and offer of support is to continue to send group
mailing to them. If you have a very large down line, then it
would be very expensive to send TCredits or gift card to all of
the ones that refuse to sign in or acknowledge you as their
sponsor or co-sponsor. They already know in their heart whether
they want to be part of SF1. Just continue to do your part by
including them each time you

I continue to send a weekly team e-mail including everyone regardless if they have logged in or not. I know from personal experience that every now and then I become curious about things that others have e-mailed me and may check it out. Therefore because it is so easy to include everyone, I do so. It takes no extra energy or time and who knows maybe someday some of them may see the light and become active. If they don't, I don't lose sleep over it, because I do have so many others that do remain

I was one of those affiliates many years ago. I thought that SFI was just like all the other programs that I had seen and just left it alone. Then, one day, I decided, let me give this a chance...

My life hasn't been the same since. You should remain in contact with EVERYONE, per chance they become inquisitive and wish to give it a try. Imagine the benefit of having a willing affiliate who has been following you all the time, just in the background.

i think you should keep them in mind while you work with your active affiliates.

Since you've offered tons of support then you should just retreat for awhile and hope they do become active.

I believe when they have the right concept to SFI, then they'd undefstand what they need to do.
So you should try and explain this tothem.

If that doesn't still work out, then focus on the active ones and just hope for the inactive ones or just leave them in 'worse-case'

First of all, I find it quite interesting that this question was posted long before SFI even exisred! (1969)?

Regardless, I fully believe in the credo "No 'man' left behind! Unless your affiliate has voluntarily opted out, it is pretty safe to assume that they are still here for some reason! After all, every single one of us did sign up for one reason or another, right?! Perhaps there is a language barrier...maybe they just want to 'sit back and check things out' for a while...Plain

Hello..

Nice question..This problem mostly occurs with every affiliates of SFI..Building a team is a tougher job and big challenge for everyone..

Encouraging affiliates with true spirit and by giving example is a most important key in building team..

We generally refers others to SFI..then they know and works with Tripleclick(which is a main source of our income)..

So, this is my personal advice is u to encourage them in starting opening a store on tripleclick

In our SFI Business affiliates got a big help to our success. But IF despite our constant encouragement to offer them our support and they never respond to do anything, PUT some rest for a while, and we cannot force them to join us.

But as a reminder to them, be patient in sending them even once in a month a friendly note ending in your SFI encouragement. Who knows they might change their mind and sign up.

You are not the only one encountering this situation, almost all of

You simply let them go.

There are affiliates which will become active
only when you stop pushing them.
And if they don't - they are not for this bussines, after all.
You are not suposed to do tasks, and advertising insted of them.
You are suposed to show them the way, and let them do it.

Maybe this sound cruel, and cold, but this is the truth.

While you are losing your time with somebody who will never become active,
there are lot of people

Yes, this is a serious question.
I hold it that every sfi affiliates (team leaders) has the experience.
Yes, some sfi affiliates never do anything.
I had 18 sfi affiliates to my downline for five months and the minimum and maximum period of login is one and two days respectively!
What do I do in this instance?
1. I constantly send them team mail once a week, and earn 30VP
2. I send in a mail to remind them to login and do their sfi business daily.
3. After, three(3)

The affiliates who never do anything are the most probably persons who do not
matters to their income at SFI. I would ask myself: If somebody doesn‘t matter to his earning at SFI at all would such a man be interested in anything about SFI??
Wise men have alleged that it‘s worth focusing on possitive things.
I focus on willing people that want to do something for their success.
Where there is a will there is a way. That‘s just the way it goes I guess.
