I suggest helping all your affiliates in the same general way.

If you have affiliates with language differences, use the translators on SFI pages to help.

Always let them know you are available to help any way you can.

If need be, try to reassign struggling new affiliates to someone in your downline from their country. You will still benefit from their activities, and the reassignment may be just what they needed, so they can get help they can better understand.

I try to put encouraging messages in my Stream posts, and post them to all my C/PSAs at least 3 times a week, often more.

I make suggestions - good questions on askSC this week, try to rate all 30 daily; Forum always has good information available; I won Daily Grand, hooray!!; remind them to do their daily clearing...

Whatever has rung a bell in my mind that day, I try to put into the Stream as a "food for thought" item.

Hope these ideas help:))...

An affiliate logs in after a long period of inactivity. Should I acknowledge this? And if so, what should I say?

Absolutely!!! They are still your PSA, and you want to welcome them back to online just like they had been here all along. If you included them in your weekly team letters, they won't be totally lost, just need to refresh their memory by reading Basics and LaunchPads.

And if they have come back after a long absence, it is not unreasonable to hope they will be ready to buckle down and build themselves a business!!!

Yes, by all means, welcome them back with open arms. Send

Point out to them the immediacy with which management was on top of the problem!! They not only fixed the damage that had been done, they took rapid, solid steps to make any future attempts immensely more difficult.

They had affiliates changing emails, passwords, and posted progress reports daily for several days.

When people could not log in for some time, they also covered missed logins so VP streaks would not be lost.

SFI went way above and beyond to protect

This is a pretty challenging game, but also fun and sometimes downright funny!!

First, remember that these are the most/least popular answers chosen by all affiliates, they are not necessarily YOUR choice.

Most popular answers are not too difficult most of the time. Difficulty is if the particular subject is not something with which you are familiar. Then it's pure guess!:)

Now, LEAST popular answer is more difficult, but not impossible! Read them as though you

Teach them that while VPs are extremely important to acquire for their ranks, it is even more important to have an active team!

They can use Bid & Build through Pricebenders, bid for PSAs in auctions, or buy them through S-Builder Coop or PSAs to Go. With SO and, I believe, NMP in place, as SFI affiliates they can buy, through TripleClicks, PSAs for $1.99 USD/each.

A wise way to buy PSAs would be a Standing Order of S-Builder (they start arriving 5-6 weeks after ordering,

I am not familiar with alibaba.com, but as long as it is not against their rules, I do not see why you should not be able to discuss TC ECAs on that site, presenting all the awesome statistics of TripleClicks membership (all of whom could be potential customers for them), the possibilities of SFI affiliates also expanding news of a new ECA (free advertising for them).

I would suggest you investigate the site to make sure it would not be against their rules, then go for the gusto! "Nothing

Paraphrase the Jack and Jill line from childhood into "All work and no play makes Jill/Jack a dull girl/boy", depending on person to whom you speak.

Playing Eager Zebra games at different times through their day will definitely help to relax both body and mind!! Even Knockout Trivia, where you have to think fast to answer sometimes difficult questions, helps to relax you.

Why? Because even though you may be focusing intently on the game, you have forgotten all the

Create and maintain your Standing Order so you are always EA2. Include in your SO either 1 or more S-Builder Co-op units or PSAs to Go, whichever fits your budget better. Also, (if you have PSAs to go) at least 100TCpack. If you have S-Builder, get 125 TCpack.

Then, become the best Sponsor it is in your power to become. Hopefully, I think, the PSAs to Go may give you affiliates that will be more likely to go active. Cultivate them, teach them to do as you have done. Build your downline

Once your new affiliates have had a couple days to begin learning, I would direct them to information about the S-Builder Coop and PSAs to Go. Both are comparatively inexpensive, both can be part of their SO.

Using these methods, as well as Spin and Build when they bid auctions, will get PSAs and PRMs coming into their team. As they get acquainted with sponsoring/mentoring their new members, they can also begin investigating marketing methods. After they are comfortable with mentoring
