Help them understand that their setback is minor. Explain the story of Thomas Edison when he lost his laboratory due to fire and help them realize their set back is small in comparison. Help them understand that focusing on the negative will cause them to lose site of the positive. A huge fire destroyed over half the buildings in Thomas Edison’s West Orange Laboratory on December 9, 1914 after there was an explosion in the film inspection building. Damages reached somewhere in the vicinity of

Exelent Question!!!
You have get really proactive with it to grow your affiliate channel as a formidable source of new customers and incremental revenue for the company.
1. Be respectful
2. Affiliate marketers are very concerned with their electronic tracking and also how well you convert as a merchant, and rightfully so.
3. Running sales promotions with your affiliates is a great ways to motivate more of your affiliates to activate. But this alone won’t cinch it for you, you

Hi I found the following to be helpful when an affiliate is demoted to remain active. I communicate with them regularly. Before now I was also inactive as an affiliate and then I got an up line who communicated with me daily and kept me informed and encouraged me. I found this to be very useful as I duplicated this action and it worked with my down lines. I communicate with them regularly, give them tips, incentives (T-Credits, etc). Some up lines, I've realized previously did not communicate with

As we are building this business, a lot depends on our team members staying active. For whatever reason, some of them will rise up to EA2 and beyond only to suddenly disappear from action. This may cause us to temporarily lose rank, or get demoted. Like everything else, a person needs to shake it off and move on, sponsoring more. The people who truly want to do this business are out there. You just need to find them.

Just remind your affiliate that their success is not dependent on any

Right now I happened to me, that I found myself in the hospital, and moreover I retired from my laptop adapter. I was completely cut off from the Internet, from the world. Yet I never like this has happened since I left without help, and I could not do anything. I had to wait until my release so that I could provide the new adapter in my laptop type.
That's why I realized that we are just people, and that anything can happen, but we can immediately react and immediately put everything in order.

I think that for the most part you have to remain positive in spirit with them and reflect that in your actions. But the bottom line is that if they do not see the big picture with what SFI is trying to get everyone to achieve there is not much you can do about that. The only negative thing about this new requirement is that a person has to work to build their business which requires building a team, which in turn is going to have a better result income wise, why should that change a person's mindset,

This is how I believe:

Showing your strong determination and sending a truly motivating words.
Sharing your experience to success and on how you had maintain your STATUS being an EA/EA2 or TEAM LEADER.
Being, open in anyway of communication to your every affiliate whom are still finding there way to the right tract.
Specially to your TEAM mates this is a BIG factor that could keep them ALIVE!

When a affiliate feels they have been demoted, do this.

First go through their v.p.ledger and make a note of things to try.
If they have asked for help,suggest a few things to try next month.

To make money here you need to advertise for Tripleclicks and SFI
referrals.

I like to purchase 20 every month.Then play the auctions to get a couple.
If you can,call them,skype them or email them with detailed suggestions.

Because "demotion" only comes from a lack of activity, you can point out to an affiliate that earning his or her rank back is only a matter of resuming the higher activity level represented by that rank. Regardless, success with SFI is a marathon, not a sprint, and the real benefit comes with long-term perseverence.

By reminding him/her why he/she joined SFI in the first place. Motivate him/her, share your experiences with him, tell him to read testimonies of other Affiliates.

I think that will definitely make him change his mind
