Hie Everyone, i'm grateful for this question.

I am just going to be very short is its a question that causes no confusion at all.

ANSWER
Affiliates who never do anything are some of the things that can discourage you but don't bother much about them, just continue doing your job. One day you will be surprised to see them back and working more than anyone else.

For example, i once had this other affiliate, at first he was so determined but only for 2 weeks, he disappeared for 1 month 2 weeks, but i kept on send messages through my Genealogy. one day i found an email from him and he told me that he read all my messages and he got motivated.
I just welcomed him and business continued, i also transferred some TCredits to him and he was motivated now he has even earned a rank above mine.

All i want to say is that you should always expect such affiliates because we are all people and people never react to things the same way and this must not stop your job.

I hope you get the idea and you now know what to do.

If you are a Team Leader, it’s not about you anyway, it’s about your team so Stop Trying to Control Everything and you need to do is :

1. Equip Them, Give them as much info as you can. If it’s an issue you don’t want
communicated to the public yet, tell them so. If you have someone on your team who
can’t keep their mouth shut then address it with that person specifically but don’t
hinder the communication with the rest of the team just because of one loose
cannon.

2. Stop Trying to Control Everything, If you are a leader or a manager, it’s not about
you anyways. It’s about your team and you need to be doing everything you can to
keep them in the loop and aware. The more they know, the more they can help you.
Let them. Don’t get in their way. If you want them to communicate with you, you
need to communicate with them.

3. Don’t Assume They Already Know, Just because you know doesn’t mean they know. Too
often we get busy and sometimes think we have told people more than we have. Make
sure you take the time to ask people if they are clear, if they are in the know and
if they understand. Give them opportunities to voice their thoughts, listen and
respond.

Whenever you participate in an online business you will always get those who are just having a look.

These people are reluctant to part with any money and are suspicious of all things online and yet they want an online business. They need to be satisfied that the business is genuine and that participants are doing well in it.

In this regard, your Leadership Page should be promoted to show how many badges you have earned. It will show how long you have been a member of SFI and thus give confidence to anyone looking, that this must be a solid company.

A spiel should also be promoted on SFI itself. Details of this can be found at https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/AboutSFI This URL will explain that SFI has been a member of the Better Business Bureau for a considerable time and is indeed a reputable business.

Briefly explain the need to log in every day and go through the Launchpad Lessons and advise that there are Internet Marketing Lessons and plenty of reading to be done which explains everything needed for personal growth.

Lastly, you should offer your help. Ask whether they would like to email you for assistance in advancing themselves and provide your email address.

Unfortunately there are some who will not respond but on the upside, you may get some genuine people who will make your Team grow.

If you know that you are doing everything that a sponsor should do - sending out team-mails and emails regularly, conversing and making contact with your downline on every available opportunity, and setting the example by the show of your different badges earned - there is not much that you can do again. They say that you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink. Hence SFI - you can show and explain to them everything that they need to know, and if they are not willing to do the work, you cannot make them.

Some people are too set in their ways, and very laid back. There are those who always impose and depend on other people to help them out in their time of need, and because they can get things easily from others, they will never try for their own independence, by doing what it takes to have a better way of life.

Some people join with the intention of earning quick bucks, and when they realize that they have to put in the work, they disappear. There are some also who are still not certain that SFI is legitimate, and have a wavering mind. Then there are those who are intelligent enough to understand that you have to invest something (TIME and MONEY) to get a return, and because they cannot afford one or the other, or both, they just lose interest.

But remember also, that some people might just be lurking on the sidelines to observe what is going on, and when they are convinced that something great is really happening, they will jump on the wagon.

So, do not be bothered about the inactivity of those affiliates, as one day you will see some movements from those who you might have given up on.

Its not that some people have willpower and some don't. Its that some people are ready to change and others are not.

So encourage yourself, and focus on that silver lining at the end of the tunnel, for VICTORY belongs to the most PERSEVERING.

This is a very good and sensitive question:

I have read so many answers to this question but in my own view base on my experience there is not much you can do to let those Affiliates have a change of heart toward SFI. I realized that most people who joined SFI was expecting to make very quick money immediately they signed up with no aim of laying there hands on anything so no matter what you do to convince them will most time seems like a fruitless effort.

As a team leader I still think we don't have to give up completely on this set of Affiliates, no matter what we should make it a point of duty to keep sending them at least our weekly emails to get them sensitized towards having a change of heart, however we must give most of our attention to the Affiliates who are responsive and doing the right things

I hope this help

"What do you do with affiliates who never do anything--despite you constant encouragement and offers of support?"

Essentially, there is nothing you can do for affiliates who never do anything. For whatever reason, SFI is not right for them at the moment. Whether they are not the entrepreneurial type, the time is not right for them, or whatever the reason, there is little you can do.

It is essential to continue sending team mails to them, however. I've had a lot of success in bringing back affiliates. I've had a lot of second-home CSAs come back and get started from scratch, months after they joined.

Most often, you need to send a team mail or email that is personal enough that it doesn't sound like a sales pitch. One of the most effective ways is to ask them why they joined in the first place. Often, this will make people re-think why they signed up, and encourage them to take a second look.

If they decide to come back for a second look, keep your eye on your genealogy. If someone logs in after being inactive, send them an email. Introduce yourself, and give them instructions.

SFI BASICS

LAUNCHPAD Lesson 1
TO DO List (Getting Started Actions)

This gives them a place to start. Most people are lost when they log in for the first time, and without a little guidance, many give up too quickly. If you can get them back in the door and help them understand how the system works, you may find a few hidden diamonds. Continue to communicate with them, and you may be able to help them achieve what they originally signed up to do: to be more financially successful.

And their success is your success!

Nothing ... and I mean nothing less than just being an awesome sponsor nevertheless.

When I first got on-board at SFI, I immediately saw my sponsor's welcome message. But I was "clueless" about how she became my sponsor. I even sent her a message asking if she knew me personally at one point in my life! Trusting my sponsor wasn't automatic but my motivation to explore this opportunity led me to my conscious decision that I would log on every day and get more VersaPoints! But my sponsor was kind enough to send me her own SFI story of success, which eventually impacted my motivation further. I learned to trust her and her best practices because of her responsiveness to my queries.

With that experience, I would understand why some affiliates may not do anything despite the ongoing support and encouragement of his/her sponsor. I believe it's all about a person's ability and willingness to join this one-of-a-kind business opportunity. Ability could mean a person's availability and time to learn the SFI business every day. Willingness, on the other hand is one's motive for joining a global internet marketing business. Some may have ability, but not much willingness. While some may be very willing, but is currently unable to find the resources needed to stay active. In my case, I had the right motive and a reliable internet connection at home, plus the 2-3 hours I could spare every day after work.

So keep your communication lines open to all your affiliates. This is the best that you can do. You’ll never know how much wonders your encouragement and support could bring to your team.

To our success!

Other members have already expressed their answers very well and I agree with those who say to not waste any energy worrying about affiliates who never do anything with their SFI business; it is their loss.

I say keep including those affiliates in your group messages because you never know when something you say will finally catch their attention and ignite their interest. It is not our job to drag unwilling affiliates through. It is our job to provide them with insightful tips and ideas on how to build the business. Some will respond while others won't. When they don't, it's not your fault.

One more thought: when you send messages to your team, always be positive and confident and write your messages as though you fully expect they will follow your recommendations.

Best of success to you!

What you do is NEVER GIVE UP ON THEM!!!

Like one of my team leaders advised me, you just continue to encourage them, even though they are not responding. You never can tell who actually would wake up from his/her slumber and becomes a gem in the long run.
He, himself was inactive for a year before he finally took to SFI and now he's a don here.
So, just be there for them, your persistency definitely would yield some result someday. We all know the rule is ;work with the workers; but you can't afford to give up on them so easily, if you are digging or mining for precious stones or treasures, I'm sure you won't just dig the surface and leave, of course good and durable things don't come easy. The same way, keep mailing them after-all it costs you nothing.
can I whisper something into your ears? I AM GOING THROUGH THIS TOO!!!

Nice question.

The Affiliates who don't do anything are not necessarily the 'quitters'. They might not be interested initially or possibly they might be busy in some other work.

But, as a sponsor, our duty is to do constant follow-up with them by way of PSA/CSA mailers and keep motivating. We cannot pre-judge anyone. There are PSA's in my team who didn't login for days together, but eventually came back themselves.

Please remember one thing that we should focus on recruiting self-motivated people (workers) and encourage them, rather than focusing on non-performing affiliates.

The affiliates who are inactive since a long-time, we can send them some general mails (may be once in a month) with some good wishes.

Tip: Please don't send too many mails. Otherwise it will give you adverse effects.

Even if you do your best as a sponsor, you will still find affiliates who will do nothing!


Cheers!
