Hi Kevin,

I should say that we must never give up on them. We should not stop sending them emails, e-cards, etc. until their memberships/registrations are cancelled by SFI due to inactivity for one year or until they have voluntarily opted-out.

Nobody from all of us knows what these inactive PSA's/CSA's are thinking or what they are planning when they initially joined SFI. Some of them might be just curious of what SFI has to offer or maybe some of them might be looking for a better business opportunity without realizing that SFI is really the best.

But who knows? These affiliates might be back sooner or later and decide to become active and pursue their SFI business. And these emails, e-cards that we kept on sending them might contribute to their realization.

I hope I have answered your question.

Good luck to all of us!

Hi Kevin,
1.SFI is easily one of those rare Internet Marketing companies that offer free joining & sign ups.
Thanks to its founder, Gery Carson, SFI has been free to join and will always stay free to join.
Consequently, that there will be a lot of referrals who join to fulfill their curiosity, just look around and see what SFI is all about. There are also referrals that you will sign up that get paid to sign up in free marketing companies and later opt-out.
2. Due to the above mentioned reasons, it’s easy to realize that there will be quite a few referrals who we sign up that will be “inactive” for one reason or another. This is to be expected, so do not let this hinder your future growth in your business building activities. Many of us make the awful mistake of worrying & fretting over our inactive PSAs/CSAs. Much time and activity is wasted in trying to wake up those who are asleep As rising Team Leaders we need to let the sleepy heads sleep. Continue to keep them in your e-mailings and other communication systems but do not chase & pursue them. When they wake up (if & when they do) they will contact you or prominently figure on your movers list.
3.If their name is still on your genealogy list then there is a chance that they will wake up so I suggest that you never “write them off”. Its suggested that during one of the last days of each month, you mail a letter to all the “red” flagged affiliates in your genealogy list giving them one more chance to get in touch with you before being removed by SFI at the end of one year after the last logging in.
4.Send them an 'Inactive" eCard when the notice goes out that they will soon be losing their account due to inactivity, you will know about this notice in your genealogy report. Whenever they become active, send them an E-Card to acknowledge and motivate them.
5.In the mean time, continue working with your movers as well as simultaneously continue recruiting new referrals. Although it is advised to “work with your workers” you should never give up on your inactive team members Please remember inactive affiliates may become active anytime so don't write them off totally. They may prove to be the hidden gems in your team, for all you know!Continue to include them in your weekly newsletters/group mails. As long as they are subscribed, please do not give up on them. This means as long as they are in your genealogy you will continue.
6.However, its evident that you have no further hold on your inactive sleepy heads, just like the popular phrase “you can only lead your horse to the water but cannot make him drink” .
Conclusion.
The moral of the story is to continue corresponding with your inactive, sleepy PSAs/CSAs till their subscription expires after one year of inactivity & their respective names are written off from the SFI Rolls!
Have a nice day,Kevin.

I'm glad you asked this question. Never chase people. As the adage goes . . . you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. The genealogy tool makes it simple just to send a blanket message to this 'drift wood'. Drift wood is good for making a fire, or perhaps even building a canoe. But until it finds a purpose it just drifts along. So you never really give up on them but I wouldn't bother sending each one an e-card! That's a total waste time when you have 1000s of them. So just use the genealogy tool to filter the inactive members and send them a weekly team mail. Try to strike a nerve in each communication. You just might surprise yourself and find a diamond in the rough!

My advice to you is just to continue communicating with your inactive PSAs/CSAs, telling them of various opportunities that they could have missed if they remain inactive in SFI.

Nurture them with good information about SFI and TripleClicks, its products and the various upgraded policies that make doing the daily-to-do tasks in SFI more of a breeze than a tedious job.

After all, whether you like it or not, your PSAs and CSAs’s inactivity for a period of one year from the date of their enrollment in SFI, would automatically put them off the list by SFI. This action by SFI would be more appropriate and business-like rather than removing them from the roster of affiliates yourself. And this would eliminate personal grudges on you by your inactive PSAs/CSAs. Who knows, they might return to your team someday for whatever reason they have and re-kindle your SFI business relationship with them.

Hi Kevin,
I don't think we should ever give up on affiliates whilst they are still listed in our genealogy. I send regular group messages to all, regardless of whether they are active or not. I continue to hope that my messages of support will reawaken those who are inactive whilst at the same time providide support to my active team members. My messages contain my contact details so if someone needs help they know I am there for them. Until an affiliate is removed from my genealogy due to inactivity or whatever I consider them worth the challenge.
Hope this helps.
Have a good day.

Non Stop - indifference and neglect is dangerous! Some are not active ignorance, others can not navigate, while others just surf. Your task is clear and concise, targeted and systematically explain the advantages and benefits of continuing education in SFI - Free entry, training and marketing methods and tools to build their own business!
One effective way to attract attention are games and auctions. If possible you can offer Gift certificates, Welcome credits, record in W 3, etc.
It is extremely important to understand that your messages and instructions are not in vain - All efforts are rewarded sooner or even earlier! SUCCESS!

If Your inactive CSA's are not from Your country, You can add them to the CSA Exchange.
As to inactive PSA's , they are just that...inactive. So if You are willing to " wait them out " till
They become active, which may take a few months to a few years, just keep sending Your regular weekly Team newsletters to everyone.
But if it seems a bother to have inactive PSA's and they are not from Your country, You might possibly reassign them to some other worker PSA that You have Who are in the country that the
Inactive is from.
As a rule of thumb, I would suggest not to try to contact inactives directly.

Hello,
In my opinion you should at least one time weekly to "remaind" your inactive PSA or CSA on SFI. I do it on my weekly tasks every week. It's a motivation leter from my side to my affiliates. I usualy remaind them on weekly tasks, and monthly status, and how they can reach Versa Points for that month. Ask them what they need, or is ther anything thah I can help them in this business. And I can tell you that this works for me. And for those aff who don't answer on my mail or I don't see that they are back on the work I stop to sand an mails and stuf.

Why do you even think about giving up on them ?. You need to pursue them as long
As it takes to bring them back. It won’t cost you any money except your time, if you
Choose to put your effort.

I know many will tell you work with the workers, but to me that is just a bland.
You have to be able to seek the lost.
SFI gave them a year before they get removed from the system, So why we have
To go any less?.

Pursue them till the end, they will surprise you one day, and you will be
Glad you did.

"How long should I pursue inactive PSAs/CSAs with emails, e-cards, etc. before giving up on them?"
As long as it takes! seriously though I wouldn't give up on anyone you never know when they may decide to become active and they may even turn out to be your best team members.
Some people just take longer to get started than others or maybe want to go it alone for a while.Just be patient, continue to include them in your team mail let them know you are there to offer any help or advise but dont overload them with emails and E cards, that could turn out to be counter productive, and then just get on with what you are doing.Lead by example if they see you are doing well then hopefully that will spur them on to make the effort too.
