First and foremost:
Be a friend! and be a mentor!
SFI's job is to
provide the infrastructure for building your business. YOUR JOB, once those
individuals have joined the team, is to provide the personal, one-on-one
relationship.
Make sure every
AFFILIATE in your group has gone through the SMART START program at least once.
Assist them
after they've gone through this information! Make sure their questions are
answered. GETTING STARTED IS THE HARDEST PART OF ANY JOURNEY. Make sure
that you are there to offer friendly guidance and support as they start out on
their journey.
Note! NO
MATTER WHAT YOU DO, at least half of your affiliates will NOT become
successful.
This is not
reflection of you or SFI. It's just the hard, cold reality that most people
will not make the commitment and do the work necessary to succeed. Accept and
acknowledge this.
ALL WE CAN DO IS
GIVE PEOPLE A TRACK TO RUN ON. WE CANNOT, HOWEVER, DRAG THEM ACROSS THE FINISH
LINE!! They have to want it.
In short, support
your affiliates, be there for them as much as you can (especially at the
start), but don't waste time trying to get people to do something who clearly
aren't motivated.
Instead, and this
is VERY IMPORTANT -- when you identify someone on your team who IS motivated,
who IS willing to learn and apply themselves to achieve success, CONNECT WITH
THEM WITHOUT DELAY! These are diamonds in the rough! Make sure they have
everything they need. Support them with passion! If you do so, someday they
will make you rich!
