I take offence to the notion that any affiliate is lazy.

Sure not all signups will do anything with SFI but this doesn't make them lazy.

I'm sure we all shopped around a bit before we settled on SFI and I'm just as sure that we probably didn't give some of the other programs the time to really check them out. Does this make us lazy?

As great as SFI is it's just not everyones cup of tea, it's not going to be what every person is looking for. Lot's of people will join up to take a look and decide that this isn't what they're looking for. This doesn't make them lazy.

As to unmotivated affiliates.....some will some won't. Move on.

If a person is unmotivated it is unlikely that you'll be able to do much to motivate them. You may be able to get them moving for a short while but you could spend a lot of your valuable time on people who really are never going to do much.

Spend your time with affiliate who really want to be here.

Some people are just looking for quick and easy money and there is nothing you can say to them to get them to work.

With others, perhaps the timing wasn't right or they didn't understand. Send everyone weekly Team Mail. Something you say might motivate them.

Gery says we spend too much time worrying about our inactive team members. Work with the workers and keep adding more people to your team. Sooner or later you will find at least five active people.

Motivation! Books have been written about motivation.
It is a very complex issue.
It is particularly difficult to motivate the work of lazy and not motivated.
One can not simply say: Do this or that.
However, as soon as someone registered in SFI, certainly somewhat motivated to make money. It should be used, and through constant contacts to assess how to motivate him to work to make money.
Certainly he needs help to facilitate the first steps in SFI. Allow him access to the results of successful SFI leader. Show him that you are interested in his work and be sure to commend the good work. Keep in mind that it does not oppress. It is very important to be a model example. And finally, if you evaluate, using SFI tools to stimulate him various gifts or prizes (PSA, TC, $ ...). Much more work with him as long as showing any such results. Some need more time to successfully participate in the job. Be patient, be careful and polite, it will definitely help.
I look forward to this answer will be helpful.
Best wishes.

How do you know they are lazy? Maybe they are sick, could be they
are on vacation, or they decided this was not their kind of business.

Family crises throw people for a loop too.Just send them team notices,
e-cards and wait.

Sending them a $5 gift card with a 10 day expiration is also a way to see
if they are still interested.In fact send one to all your slow workers.

When you get it back,send it to someone else. Whatever you do, best not
to give them gift after gift or you will have a dependent, when you are looking
for your best five.

Communication gap never be there despite no response from affiliates' end.That must be continued in any way. The frequency of motivational communication may differ. Sometimes weekly or more, on the other sometimes less than a week reminders to affiliates.

Just to elaborate them the merits of SFI & above all, put yourself as an example to be followed. Never guide/instruct them to do any action; leave all upon them. They may like to take action or not. It depends upon them entirely.

They may be told about daily VPs of SFI, they may earn free. They may play games to win fabulous
awards. Moreover, there is free entries in certain games. They may make entries in T-Time draw every hour to get TCs. E365 Championship is also there besides Time Machine predictions contests. They may win any listed item in auction too in a bid.There so many number less benefits to keep SFI membership alive may be explained to them. All the affiliates would be awarded with not only TCs. VPs, Prestige Domain, CSAs but they may win thousands of Dollars cash prize also. They may get bazes.

Last but least, all the affiliates get a wonderful international Forum also to share their any difficulty or views related to SFI.

The reason why lazy and unmotivated people join SFI is the money. This means that they want to be rich overnight without having to do any work so motivating these kind of people is a waste of time. Your job as a Sponsor and Co- Sponsor is to educate affiliates who are business minded and really want to start there own business and knows what it takes to succeed.

Lazy people do not succeed because they have the get rich quick mentality entrepreneurs are the opposite, they succeed because they have the right mindset and understand that it takes smart work, patience and dedication, so these are the people you should spend your energy with because not only will they succeed but so will you.

Answer this question, can you turn cheap glass into a diamond? Can a teacher produce talent where there is none? The answer is NO.

Your job is to use your genealogy and movers tab to separate the wheat from the chaff. What does a farmer do with the chaff? It gets bound and burned in the fire.

Hi Nebojsa

Even the best affilies can become demotivated due to many influences and, just because them isn’t feeling 100% motivated, it doesn’t mean that they’re lazy. However, leaders need to be aware of the signs and be in a position to assist and re-energise them.
Leaders need to make time to simply talk with their teams and be aware of what can demotivate them. If they know that they can talk to their sponsor, then the problem can be discussed and improved or overcome.
1) Simply ask what the problem is - Avoiding an issue or uncomfortable conversation isn’t the way to deal with the situation.
2) Build trust as a leader - Good leader is open and honest and shows respect for their whole team. Affilies who know they can trust their manager will feel comfortable approaching them if they have any issues or feel unmotivated...

In my opinion, the best way to motivate them is to lead by example. Show them by your actions what can be achieved as an affiliate of SFI. Offer encouragement and support and be patient when they make mistakes.
It might not be that they are lazy but just overwhelmed. Explain to them that when they are learning to use the material and tools that SFI provides, it is better to take the time to understand what they are reading and that if they have questions, help will be provided.
Encourage them to use the forum and ASK-SC because these are two of the most valuable tools available to affiliates.
Never give up on them!

Hi Nebojsa. This is the common question to which, I think, everyone in SFI is trying to get the best answer. Inactive PSAs/CSAs is the biggest problem everyone in SFI is facing and trying to solve this issue. But the truth is that even if one out of hundreds become active, it's a big win for you. But, it happens rarely.

Now, how to motivate lazy and unmotivated affiliates; my advise is to simply keep sending them inspirational / motivational messages containing SFI related knowledge regularly. You can use PSA Mailer or CSA Mailer and your message will be sent to them by SFI on behalf of you. It would be better if you use your personal e-mail also. Become friend of their on facebook and other social network. Once you have become their friend, it would be easy for you to convince them to be active in SFI. Be neutral i.e. don't talk about SFI only, share other interesting thing also. Invite them on chat. Compare SFI with other affiliate / networking programmes and show them how SFI is better. Move towards your goal slowly, slowely, slowely.............

I hope, this will do.

Hello.

I do not consider them lazy. I consider them confused and not sure what to do.

I contact them no matter what and try to check out their language and then I use Google Translator and write to them and put it in their language hoping they will respond.

Then I pray and hope they will respond either to me or by logging in to SFI.

Try to place yourself in their shoes.

Never Ever Give Up!
