It is a very good question. I remember when I joined, my sponsor, encouraged me to set up a standing order and I felt reluctant for the first three months. This is because at that time, I only needed to buy a little to make it to Executive Affiliate as I fully utilised all the available “To Do List” versa points. Later, however, these “free points were only around 330 to 400 versa points and I saw the need to set up a standing order.
I think that you can only persuade and not pressurise your affiliate. Whether they will do it or not depends largely on the financial situation. One way of persuading them is by setting up team contests, which rewards those who attain Executive Affiliate status.
Examples of rewards include T-credits and gift certificates. Encourage them to use the T-credits at Pricebenders Auctions for them to appreciate their value. All in all, you can only do your bit and they have to do their part.
