Hi Redonna,
Great question and I think the answer is seen with our entire culture. We live in a world of instant gratification - everyone wants what they want and want it fast. Look at how the pace of the world is increased with technology.
There are loads of people out there who are looking for a 'get rich overnight' deal (which they won't be able to find) and think that SFI is their ticket. I also believe SFI could focus sometimes on the 'FREE to Join' aspect. It's true that it's free to join, but to earn a significant income, you want to be a team leader for the matching VersaPoints - in order to do that, you need a minimum 1500VP from purchases OR sales.
If you are a great marketer, then you may be able to get the 1500VP from sales at TripleClicks to people you have referred. But if not, you may end up needing to make a purchase yourself to get to Team Leader status.
As soon as people realize that SFI is a real business, thousands upon thousands of those people looking to 'get rich quick' flee!
Our job is to find the diamonds that realize it's a business, and to give your business a chance, it's like any other - you need 3 things:
1) Some of your time to invest in learning the business
2) A little capital for advertising (and maybe purchases from TripleClicks)
3) MOST important, PATIENCE to let the business grow
I am upfront with my affiliates and try to make sure that they realize they won't be getting a check for $30,000 next month after joining - it takes time...
And, back to my first statement, many people will not wait because they want the instant gratification. Just encourage them to be patient and give it a few months of being EA before they quit - I like to offer rewards and incentives to my affiliates to encourage them to stick with it!
Best of luck for your continued success!
