Unhappy SFI Affiliate

[dmdvds]

I have just received this email from one of the affiliates I sponsored. He was doing well, became EA and had sponsored 18 new affiliates at the last count.
Can anyone suggest how I might deal with his problem?
Thanks
Diane

Dear Diane,
so, now you are telling me that it is difficult to make any money with SFI?
Wow, what a change....perhaps I should forward this e-mail to SFI.
Now you want to push Erich W. and his BS?
Seems that you'd do anything for a buck.
As far as I am concerned, Erich's stuff is just another scheme how to milk
people.
Do me a favor, keep off...I am dead serious. Do not need your bullnuts.
Do not need your "advice" anymore.

P.S. 23 out of 50 is only 46%.

I don't think there is much you can do now. He has made up his mind from the looks of the email. You could hand some people a gold nugget and they would say it wasn't big enough.

I would just move on and not be concerned with it. All anyone has to do is look at the leader board at SFI to know that this program works and works very well.

Gary is correct… it’s best just to remove this character from your list and move on.

We get many of these coming in to TOPS, and these kind of emails are evidence that the author is not in the proper mind set to get serious about taking action in what we are offering. Don’t take any of this personal… it is just business and it is their choice to not have any further contact from you. Remove them from your list and don’t look back.

Do to the impersonal nature of emails… sometimes people can be real jerks and it is just not worth the time and effort responding to them.

Diane,

Unfortunately, we have to deal with the bad along with the good. I agree that it is best just to leave this guy alone.

If you feel you want to respond, I would just send an email stating that you will remove him from any future mailings from you.

Diane,
I agree with Gary, Tom and Robin, however with that said the first 2 sentences of the email concern me. I do not know you or the person you received the email from, so I can only comment on what I am reading into
this and am just going to give you and all newcomers my two cents.

Since we have not seen the email you sent them, it is hard to say, but I
hope you didn't say it was hard to make money with SFI?
We never want to talk down a program to sell another one. Where they
wanted to forward this to SFI is what concerned me. Please just read your
email you sent them and make sure you are not saying negative things about SFI. This person has spent time and money in SFI and naturally would get defensive if they received an email to that effect.

As far as the rest of their email and comments, if they are heavily involved in SFI they have seen Erich's name and picture everywhere and are probably just jealous, as well as feeling betrayed.


The best thing to do at this point is take this as a learning lesson.
Thank you for posting it here, as it will bring awareness with other members to be very careful in choosing your words for emails as to
not hurt any feelings.

Hi Diane,

I would tell them that they don't have to join this training if they don't want to. Tell them that this training is there if they want to take their online business to the nxt level.

Diane, if that person doesn't email you any more then just move on.

They may continue to build their business on their own and maybe they will reach higher levels in SFI and become one of you top leaders.

But for now, whether they stay in or not, I would not email that person again.

I have been with SFI since 2002 and to tell you the truth, just focus on sponsoring new people all the time.

If they ask for help through email, then YES you can offer them Erich's training.

I also wanted to add that if you have an SFI affiliates who is doing pretty good, like getting to STL or GTL, then I would personally NOT email them about TOPS.

They are doing something right and you don't want to interupt them. Unless they email you and see what you are doing.

I have a guy who is a GTL and is doing pretty good with SFI but I will not "interupt" him. I am not going to tell him about the TOPS training UNLESS he asks me what I am doing.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I have read and taken note of all your comments and advice. I do not intend to contact him again as he requested this, but I felt that it was worthwhile asking what you all thought of his 'outburst'. I have started to make an increasing amount with SFI monthly and can see the great potential of this business, I certainly will not be put off by anyone.

Best wishes to all
Diane

PS. Here is a copy of the email I sent, promoting TOPS .

Dear George,

Are you serious about working from home?

Are you interesed in working from home but not interested in being
scammed?

Well, my promise to you is that I will do the research and
only provide you with 100% legitimate work at home programs.

As you know SFI has been our "Top Pick" work at home company for
several years. That is because SFI is a solid company with
over 20 years of proven results.

Even with all the results that SFI has it can still be difficult
to earn any money from SFI. The real key to success in SFI is to
have a coach or personal mentor.

After many of our subscribers contacted us asking for help with
SFI I persoanlly set out to find a coaching program that I could
recommend to our members who joined SFI.

The best coaching program I found was Top Online Profits and
to our delight when you join Top Online Profits and follow the
training program given to premium members you will become
a top performer in SFI.

That statement above is a bold one - I know - so let me show
you what I am talking about.

Proof #1

In October 2005 I researched the top SFI affiliates and contaced
each one to see what they did to succeed with SFI. The goal
I set out was for myself was to start from scratch in SFI and
follow the advice of the top affiliate to see if it really worked.

My research brought me to Erich Winnecke who gave me the same
training and coaching he gave his SFI personally sponsored
affiliates.

In July 2006 Erich turned the training that he gave me into a
program that he now shares with others. Erich created Top Online
Profits (TOPS for short) to help others in SFI in the exact
same way he helped me.

Proof #2

OK you say - that is great for you, but you had Erich
basically holding your hand - he won't do that for me.

Well you are wrong.

With the launch of TOPS Erich has helped more people in SFI
than he ever has before. This is because he has helped so many
people succeed in SFI that his students are now his teachers.

Erich has set up a support forum for all TOPS members where new
and old members can ask questions to any issue with TOPS or SFI
and within hours (usually minutes) receive an answer.

I am always amazed at the support new members receive.
I participate in alot of forums as part of my research
and Erich's forum is one of the best I have ever
seen. The members there support each other until they see profit
and then Erich turns the successful ones into forum moderators.

Even Gery Carson - the President of SFI - has come to the TOPS
forum to post answers to SFI members questions and to get
suggestions for changes to SFI to make it better.

Proof #3

At this point the next question you will ask is - If Erich is
helping all these people in SFI is there still room for me to
grow my SFI business?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

SFI keeps a running total of who is a top performer in SFI.
(this is how I found Erich).

As of March 24, 2007 here are the top 50 people on that list

P.S. I forgot to mention that Erich Winnecke was the Top Sponsor
in SFI for 2005 and 2006. There is nobody better to learn
from than Erich.

I may be confused, but I thought we were not allowed to offer other programs to SFI members. It says that in the email section of the genealogy. Did I misunderstand? There are so many times that I could have sold TOPS because people did not know how to market SFI. With Tops it is built right in!

Thanks

I believe you are referring to "cross-solicitation".
When using the contact manager you are not to promote other products or services.

If you have received permission to send a newsletter or other business related info to your affiliates, you can promote the product, though your e-mail or your autoresponder. Again not through the contact manager.

[cindi]

How do I get permission. My affiliates have not signed up for my newsletter.

Thanks
Cindi
