CSAs and PSAs are often different and needed to be treated differently.

Ninety nine times out of a hundred a PSA will be new to SFI. So they need hand-holding and guidance from the basics.

CSAs come in three groups.

1) Some CSAs will be new and get very little guidance from their sponsor. They should be treated just like your PSAs because they only have you to help them.

2) Some CSAs will be new but getting good guidance from their sponsor. You should offer them the same support and materials as your PSAs but your should not force it on them.

3) Some CSAs will have been in SFI for a while and know quite a lot. In fact, some may have a lot more experience than you. They probably need very little support. Just let them know that you are around to help if needed.

How do you determine which group a CSA falls into? ASK !!

Sure you can determine to a certain extent whether a CSA falls in group 3 by their join date. But don't assume that a CSA that has been around for a year actually knows very much - maybe they've messed around.

But you can never determine whether a CSA falls into group 1 or group 2 without asking.

So ask your CSA how much support he or she is getting from the sponsor and how much he/she has learned about SFI. Then follow up according to the group the CSA falls into. And periodically ask the CSA for more feedback on whether he/she is getting enough support from the sponsor or whether more help from you is required.

First and foremost your success depends upon your mindset.

SFI is a business. Treat it like one. Until you adopt this approach you're never going to develop the other habits necessary to be successful.

SFI is not a hobby. You can't dip in and dip out of it. All successful businesses are created by people with self-discipline - that means doing what you have to do, whether you feel like it or not.

SFI is a community. Even more so than in other businesses, you need to help people to get what they want in order that you can get what you want. So you need to be open and sharing - not selfish. This might mean helping people who are not in your downline.

The initial contact has to be the most important.

As the old adage goes: "you only get one chance to make a first impression."

So if your initial contact goes badly you might have no chance for a follow-up - in which case it doesn't matter if your follow-up is the best in SFI.

Of course, this does not mean that you can neglect to develop your follow-up approach and skills. On the contrary, it is essential that you do so.
