There are two perspectives here. I will go over both.

Perspective I:

There is no reason to have to convince your downline to have a standing order. If you have to convince one to having a standing order then they are either:

*not ready to make the commitment
*financially challenged
*do not understand its significance

A standing order is not a necessity and if you have to go out of your way and convince them to the point you feel are pressuring them, then that conversation should of never taken place.

Perspective II:

Here is a differing perspective though. It's all in the approach. For my downline, I take the stance that if you have a standing order that generates 1500 Sales VP and you do it at the 1st of the month and you can afford it , then by getting that standing order you just took all the time and energy that you would of wasted trying to get to EA status for as many days as it would of taken you to get it without one and given up back to yourself. That is significant.

If you get EA status done on day 1, that leaves you the rest of the whole entire month to now focus your efforts on building your business. Helping your downline grow, get new affiliates, learning, teaching, duplicating, Etc,

My point being you have removed the stress one has to deal with sweating it out the entire month trying to get EA when if they just got Ea from a SO on day one, all the wasted energy can be spent more productively on efforts that are fun and less stressful and really lay into the framework which will truly grow you business in a very positive and successful manner.

So now you taken what you thought was a pressuring approach to get a standing order and spun it in such a manner that it takes pressure away by getting the standing order and not pressing pressure upon someone else.

They say content is king. It all comes down to delivery of what you are trying accomplish with your affiliate so they can be enlightened rather than feel pressured or coerced.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck.
