This is the other side of the coin to the unresponsive affiliate.

An affiliate with an unresponsive sponsor has two choices: to opt out and rejoin after 6 months under another sponsor; or to tough it out with an unresponsive and unsupportive sponsor.

If he choose the former, then he will lose valuable time and money and perhaps motivation to make something out of himself and a free opportunity to be financially free.

If he decides to tough it out with an unresponsive sponsor, he can do many things by himself.

. He can show his mettle, what he's really made of, that by sheer guts and determination he's able to climb one little hill after another, fall down many times and get up as many times, each time a better and tougher person, and wiser.

. He can avail of all the free resources and training provided by SFI, plus having the choice of many friends in a2a with whom he can buddy up to share knowledge and best practices.

. He can tap on the rich experience and knowledge of successful affiliates through the Forum, and in Ask SC.

. He can educate himself and have personal growth by researching reading and reviewing all there is to know from the vast library of IAHBE and other sources on the internet.

Finally, he can be all what he wants to be and capable of doing for only he can make it happen, and not anyone else.

Hi Michael,

What I do know, having been part of another MLM business, is that for you to be successful in your business, you have to take control. You have to make it your business to learn everything about the company you have joined. Do not get into the habit of relying on your Sponsor to guide your way.

I would like to share the following quote:

"FIX YOUR FOCUS - LES BROWN

1. See yourself beyond your present circumstances. Visualize what you want.
2. Turn down the negative self-talk turn up the volume in the positive talk ‘I am doing GREAT’! tell yourself that several times a day.
3. Increase your sense that you deserve your ‘DREAM’
4. Increase in a personal library with books, that will motivate you, particularly biographies of those who have endured hardship. Persevered and then lived their dreams.
5. Assess yourself, realize your strengths and then work on your weaknesses
6. Demand more from yourself. Don’t hold back. You’ve got plenty of energy. Use it before you lose it.
7. Take risks.
8. Stand up for what you want. Don’t let anyone turn you around from the pursuit of your dreams
9. Surround yourself with supportive, quality people
10. Commit yourself to being unstoppable."

Don’t wait on your sponsor, or anyone for that matter, to help you realize your dream. Just Fix your Focus and you will succeed.

Here is to your success!

If you are going to be successful, you must find a way to succeed. While my sponsor did answer my simple 1 or 2 questions when I started, it was enough for me to realize that this program was for real.

Instead of burdening my Sponsor with my endless questions, I realized most if not all the answers were here on the SFI site and most importantly in the SFI Forum. Not to mention I could ask questions in the forum and receive a multitude of answers very quickly and not just 1 answer from my Sponsor.

In short, USE the SFI Forum as your sponsor if they are non-responsive. In order to succeed, you must find a way. Most of the answers are already here anyway! Just search for them, and ask questions in the forum.

So many persons are deterred by the unresponsiveness of their sponsor. What can an affiliate do if he has an unresponsive sponsor? Before I try to answer this question, I am taking the liberty to pose some questions to an affiliate who may be experiencing an unresponsive sponsor.
1. Have you ever thought about or operate a business before you connected with SFI?
2. Did you depend on someone to instruct you throughout your business? Or, did you just do your business independently of others?
3. Did you ever feel like quitting because you figure that there is no one to inform or instruct you about how to conduct your business?
4. Are you intrinsically motivated?
Well SFI is now your business and your responses to questions 2 to 4 will determine how you would respond to the situation with an unresponsive sponsor in SFI. Think, your sponsor may be unresponsive for several reasons; some of which I will enumerate.
•He may be new to SFI and feel incompetent to give you the relevant guidance.
•He may refuse to take the business seriously and so refuses to be empathetic. He doesn't care the kind of impact his negative attitudes will have on his affiliates.
•He may have personal issues with which to contend and so cannot find time to deal with others.
•He may have quitted SFI.
•He may be unable to cope with any language barrier that he may have experienced.
•He has problems with effective communication
•He may be dead.
Consequently,if you find yourself in the situation wherein you need help in your SFI business, there are several avenues where you can go for assistance. If the sponsor is nowhere to be reached, you may communicate with your co-sponsor, upline members, a2a friends or visit the forum. For want of a better suggestion - widen out, meet friends and well wishers. There are so many of us in SFI at the moment.
Bear in mind also, SFI gives all the tools and training to equip you to conduct a successful business. Put your time and effort into building it instead of harping on a 'lost' sponsor. Just thank him/her for introducing you to this solid, high quality business opportunity.
You just have to move ahead. After all, to whom does the business belong? is it not your business? Work to build your business! That is my recommendation.

Hey there Michael,

In answer to your question, "What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?"

Please take my answer exactly as stated.

First, learn from what you desire from a sponsor. You know what it feels like not to get the answers you seek. Therefore, don't YOU go "non-responsive" to those in your Team!

Second, I think in this manner. I actually don't need a sponsor to assist me. Why? Because I look upon SFI as being my sponsor. Every one of their marketing plans, tips, training, power tools, etc., represents my sponsor. Get the message?

Still, never forget! Your sponsor could have hundreds of PSAs and CSAs in his downline, requiring their immediate attention. Point I'm trying to make is, when all else fails, look to SFI as your sponsor. They have the proven plans. Use them, learn them, and share them with your own Team.

I am lucky that I haven't had this problem of an unresponsive sponsor. I believe that a large majority of sponsors who are interested in making it big at SFI are not just responsive but are also very supportive of their downline.

Having said that, I think if any sponsor is non-responsive, it could be so because of the number of affiliates in the sponsor's downline being too large to handle on an individual basis, within the time available at the disposal of the sponsor.

There are many other sources of help for the affiliates:

(1) The Forum;
(2) Their a2a friends;
(3) Their co-sponsor or any of their rest of their upline:
(4) The SFI Basics;
(5) The Launchpad Lessons; and,
(6) The lessons given under the Internet Income ( i.e., basically the Training).

SFI gives SUPPORT, for any problems the affiliates have.

Affiliates do succeed without any help/response from their sponsor, although the sponsor's help goes a long way in the affiliates' success.

If the affiliates have the will to succeed, they will succeed with or without their sponsor coming into the picture.

I hope my answer helps.

It is a part of the business to either have a responsive or non-responsive sponsor. And that is why SFI have provide other alternative that will indeed keep you going and make you excel in the business if at all you work in accordance with it.

Hello Michael,

Although many of us have sponsors that don't initiate communication or even respond to question from their PSAs and CSAs SFI has put in place a great system for everyone to find answers to any questions we have. Ask SC is just one example.

You can also go to the forum or a2a friends, your upline higher than your sponsor, Launchpad, the lessons in training and many other places to get what you need. If your question is of a technical nature there is support.

It is a shame you are not getting help, but with a little work everything you need can be found.

Good luck on you SFI journey and what ever you do don't let one problem get you down. It will be worth it in the end.

Send your sponsor a message and be honest about how you feel about the lack of support and give low rating if nothing change.
That is all you can do about that, but most important:

SFI is your own business.
It is your own time, money and efforts that will lead to success.
If you are lucky and have a good sponsor then it is a bonus, but SFI website contains so much valuable information so a non-responsive sponsor is not a reason to fail building your OWN business.

Use the forum, upline and a2a friends to get the needed support and keep building YOUR business.
