At first I will contact them through their email. Teach them the easy method of success in SFI in short. I will also offer them 10 T-Credits in first stage to participate in Eager Zebra Games like Pick- the-Price, Card King, Knockout Trivia and Gold Streak I will not give them Gift Card in first stage as there will be a doubt about redemption/non redemption of the same

In this email I will explain the strategy to win Eager Zebra Games – how they calculate and win Pick the Price, Play Card King, Knockout Trivia, Gold Steak and also participate in Daily Crown, Daily Grand to win several prizes

In this way I will bring them to their SFI homepage daily. In one hand they will play games and complete their To-Do-List on the other. Once they win a game they will become more interested to log daily and to participate in EZ Games. Daily logging and complete To-Do-List makes them active and they will get Action VP

I will also teach them about the importance of T-Time – how they can easily win 2 free T-Credits daily to participate in T-Time hourly and also let them explain to accumulate 126 MRP to buy 1 T-Credit and to get 102 Action VP

I believe that a win can brings a people more motivational. If they do not achieve success with above 10 T-Credits – no problem – I will send them a Gift Card to buy another T-Credits pack to participate in auction as well as EZ Games

Slowly but steadily they will become self motivated to do their work daily as per To-Do-List and VP ledger. But I have to contact them in regular basis and watch carefully to their VP ledger to know how they are growing their SFI business. Depend upon these I have to take necessary actions time to time

According to my opinion this is the best method to motivate lazy and unmotivated affiliates

Hope this will help you

This is all about communications.To motivate, we need strong communications to deliver to our downline and I always encourage my Team members with many diffrences way such as post at stream, send them weekly Team Mail , Forum, use SFIM chat to communicate with them and always recommand them with good tips and ideas as per below

1. TCredits are an excellent tool for helping you retain your status,
reward your affiliates, plan your VersaPoint strategy
and use the TripleClicks Store.
Please check this link: http://www.tripleclicks.com/MightyTCredits.php

2. I recommend new affiliates buy one 100 TCredits or 125 TCredits on a Standing Order.
You gain the additional 100 VersaPoints monthly in addition to the amount awarded
for your SO.
https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=212474

3. Your goal is to maintain, at least an EA2 status.
To achieve this goal you need 1500 Versapoints.
You can stay an EA2 and work on building your downline and selling the TripleClicks
Store products and your own products. The above will accomplish this.

3. I would elect to go for BTL Status. Earning greater privileges. As a BTL you will gain a share of the TripleClicks Executive Pool
and a greater share of Second Home CSA.
Both of which will increase your monthly income possibilities.
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart?referrer=search. To increase your chances of becoming a BTL, I would study the Pricebender Auctions carefully and try to win as many additional TCredits as I can. The First Win and Junior Auctions give you lots of chances.
https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=133561&referrer=search

4. Log in daily and earn 497 VPs (daily, weekly, monthly actions).
You only need to earn 1003 additional Action VPs (497+1003=1500)
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/VPLedger

5. With additional TCredits you can continue to bid for up to 500 Action VPs.
Play the Eager Zebra Time Machine games, enter PTP, buy music, all
will add to your VP totals monthly.
https://www.tripleclicks.com/indexContests.php

6. Do not forget to continue your advertising endeavors.
Advertising is the key to success in Internet Marketing.
You could use any extra TCredits to help support your advertising
by investing in any of the Guaranteed Hit and Sign up deals
offered in the TC Store.

For more tips and ideas, please visit my Leadership Page here

I hope you found the above useful and informative.

Good Luck.

It's not that they are lazier as much as they are cautious. There are so many SCAMs, if I may be permitted to use the word lightly, that some people are just either slow to get started or never get started at all.

The word, FREE, draws a lot of people to sign up, but one they see there is a $20 New Member Kit to purchase they either leave because they feel they have been lied to or they are slow to start because they simply do not have the money.

Some even think that maybe it's someone trying to get their information in order to hack into their account.

However, until they dwell deepen unit SFI, they will not discover what a great businesses this is. Yes, you have to work hard at it, but in the end it works out.

SHORT! In your weekly Newsletter :: Say: It's your Choice, You can Later or Start Now.

Let them know three things to get started.

1. Read and Complete their Daily Actions
2. Read and Complete the five Getting Started Actions in the first 24 hours.
3. Sponsor their Friends, Family, Relatives, etc., by sharing information about the products, company, etc., They only need 5 to sign up...
4. Refer ECAs (E-Commerce Affiliates) Check ECA Strategies Under the Training Section for more information.
5. Recommend products to different markets.. Go where the fish are.

Most importantly, keep the information lines open and going...

You, yourself should stay positive and encouraging...

I, myself, were hesitant at first, however, I am glad I hung in there.

Hello Nebojsa

Although, there are few ways to motivate the lazy affiliates in your team. Try these methods:

1. When a PSA joins you, try to establish contact with him/her because every thing will depend upon the communication. Communication is huge as it is said. Use email, e-cards or SFI Instant Message or PM (Personal Messages)

2. Tell them you will offer them 10 Tcredits if they login daily and complete their Daily, weekly and monthly actions.

3. If possible help them but New Member Pack by gifting them with TC Gift Certificates worth $20 (of course a costly method but it will repay you in the long run).

4. Assure them you are here as his/her sponsor who will guide, support and help them if they do their part honestly.

5. If nothing works out from the methods written above, then remember:

(a) There are four aces in a standard deck of cards, right? So you have this deck of card. Are you going to waste all your time, beating your head against a wall every day, trying to turn jokers and jacks and all the rest into aces? I hope not, because that's impossible! No matter what you do, there's never going to be more than four aces in that deck.

(b) So how can you get more aces? You have to go through more decks of cards of course! In SFI, that means you have to recruit more people. Keep recruiting, every day, and more aces will show up. Keep at it and you'll eventually build a team of aces that make you a lot of money. But it's a numbers games and it always will be. Plain and simple. Don't forget that!

(c) Here's a great old saying from the network marketing industry that I learned decades ago: "It's easier to give birth than to raise the dead." It is, of course, another way of saying, don't waste all your time trying to change people that don't get it. Instead keep bringing in new people and you will find your aces!

Hope it makes sense!
Have a nice day !!

I hardly know how to set apart lazy and unmotivated affiliates. I believe we all are to some degree. However, if you have affiliates you sincerely believe are lazy and unmotivated; I suggest you do the following:

1. Pay special attention to your communications with them.
2. Explore ways to “draw them out’ and get them to reveal to you why they are unmotivated.
3. Offer real incentives to them like TCredits and free slots in your co-operative.
4. Encourage them to freely communicate their problems to you.
5. Be sure they took the lessons at the LaunchPad.
6. Encourage them to join and be active at the forum.
7. Offer your hand of friendship to them.
8. Encourage them to read widely in SFI.
9. Implore them to take SFI tips and to use the free marketing tools provided.
10. Help them to promote their Gateways alongside yours.
11. Reassign some PSAs to them if you can afford to.
12. Encourage them to play the Trivia games and to join the fun in SFI.

I believe if you are able to do some or all the foregoing, some of your lazy affiliates may become active.

Good luck!!!

Sometimes what we see as lazy may simply be a lack of understanding by our affiliates and they may need some hwlp following the start-up steps.

I recommend what is sometimes call "Dripping on them" with weekly emails that include tips that may help them get going in the business. Take a look at their "Ledger" to see what training steps they have taken.

Suggest places they can go to promote their SFI business, suggest some ads they can use that have been working for you, and maybe which Gateway to promote.

Tell them about TripleClicks products that will earn them VP and be useful in growing their business. (SBuilder, TCredits, PSA to go, etc)

Always assume people want your help until the drop out of SFT or unsubscribe from receiving emails from you (and/or) SFI.

Let them know about your success, always being truthful.

I really do not like the way this question has been worded...

We do not have the luxury of knowing each other as we might if we sat in an office. You may be mistaking lazy and unmotivated for family issues, work commitments or illness. Working with SFI may be the only thing that they do for themself when they have the time.

Like everybody, I have a large number of affiliates who are inactive. I send group emails out with:

Did you know? and then tell them something about SFI
I was asked a question.... which I wasn't but gives me the opportunity to send out a message again.

If you are sending an email to a particular person, I would tread very carefully. If you have already had contact with this person in the past, you may have an idea if they have been having difficulty. I would mention that they have come so far, worked so hard, climbed the ranks within their country, and invested their time and money into this. I would also take information off the leader boards...the people who have been here for 5 years or more and where they are sitting...especially if they are part of the affiliates country.

I would finish with 'I am here to help you, I am always here to help you'.

The beauty about email is you can choose to read it or not. If I received a negative email, I could choose to read it or not. I could delete it or not. As an affiliate it is my choice.....it is always my choice. As a leader...I need to work and assist my team the best I can. It can be simple, time consuming, frustrating, a learning curve and rewarding - sometimes all at once!

First, I take exception to the term "lazy" as used in asking this question. One man's lazy after all, may be another man's confused.

Having said this, let's look at motivation. One thing that makes people run away from the business it seems to me, is unrealistic expectations. Many people come into this business looking for quick easy money. Then the reality dawns and they are confused, disoriented and scared. Withdrawing seems the best alternative.

This is where you as the sponsor comes in. From the first, you should have established a rapport with them and been there to guide them through. Be free with information and be realistic. Tell them what SFI is factually. Let them know it is a business like any other and therefore they must work as hard as they would in a regular business. Teach them how they can succeed. This is just the start. Encourage them. Regularly check up on them. Ensure that the log in daily and do their daily tasks. Reward them when they achieve milestones.

I think you will have succeeded by doing all this in making a "lazy" affiliate into a serious, goal oriented one.

Without an active team, our business will start moving slow and our ranking is at high risk to pull down. That is why it is very important that we know how to motivate our team and keep them inspired to do this business regardless of the struggles they go through.

Here's how I motivate my SFI team:

1. Even if they don't reply to my messages, I still send a message to them. And I do it daily as I log in to my SFI business. From one way or another, they will read it. You will never know that your simple message can bring enthusiasm to them to work for their own stats.

2. I always make sure my leadership page is updated with daily blogs and best tips.

3. I chat with them whenever they are online, I never forget to say hi to them, even if they don't reply.

Lastly, I motivate myself first by reading daily success quotes from well-known personalities. Reading those quotes daily inspire me and challenge me that I can also achieve my own success and I can share this success to my very own team by means of duplication and teaching them to duplicate their success as well.

Start by not looking at them as lazy and unmotivated. You might be right about some of them. They might be looking for a quick buck and as soon as they realized that is not what SFI is about they lost interest.

I am sure not all inactive affiliates are lazy and unmotivated. There are so many reasons they might be not working and I feel that giving them the benefit of the doubt gives you a better chance of motivating them. Deciding by yourself that they are lazy and unmotivated is a sure way of loosing them.

Once you used all avenues to motivate them (like cards, letters and inviting them to tell you if they have a problem) and you get no reaction, there is nothing more you can do - then let it go. BUT before you do - stay positive about them.
