The important thing about promoting the New Member Pack is first for the person to know what the pack contains. Secondly, you should let them know the value of each of the item and how everyone can be used to boost and grow the business. You would also show what the real cost would have been if these items were purchased otherwise.
In other words you are letting the person know what a powerful tool you are putting in their hand and if wisely utilized the overall benefit that it would bring to them as they seek to grow their business.

Because a team is a group of individuals committed to a common cause and united in doing so, it is necessary to have a united effort to reach all its members at the same time.
At SFI, a team consists of several different categories of affiliates but nonetheless they are all suppose to be working towards the same goals. Thus all communication to the team should reach each member at the same time.
As such PSA and CSA Mailers are the appropriate sources of communication to ensure that all team members are met at the same time with messages from the Team Leader.
Of course individual emails can be used by Team Leaders to instruct several members on specific issues. However, when it comes to communicating with the team, the PSA and CSA Mailers are the way to go.

This is a situation that most of us faces and thus it is a very good question.
From my personal experience, I have been making every effort to stay in contact with both my PSAs and CSAs and even been trying to convince them.
One must understand that every individual is different and therefore this accounts for the varying responses that you get from your PSAs and CSAs. It is also clear that each PSA and CSA has different work ethics and had different expectations when joining this business. It means therefore that your difficulty will vary dependent on these two factors.
In my opinion the difficulty to convince our PSAs and CSAs comes from the fact that people are motivated differently and despite what you have to offer the decision lies with the individual.

This is a very interesting question and also a great position to be in.
It is one where any team leader would hope to be in considering the rewards that this could bring. It however, can be a very demanding undertaking.
.
Since everyone is active it would be easy to use the PSA and CSA Mailers, whereby all Team members can be reached at the same time. That will cater for the weekly mailing.

Another good way to communicate to such an active group is through a weekly News letter. Here the opportunity to deal with the various issues that confront your team can be highlighted and discussed.

Finally,the use of E-Cards and personal emails should be used to address the personalised situations. This would ensure that each team member remain in contact with the Team Leader and is made to feel that he/she is a valuable member of the team.

It means that one will have to make the necessary sacrifice of time to ensure that the communication lines stay in tact for all of the above to be a realty. An alternative to the above can be to reassign some of the active downline to several of the more dedicated team members who must be monitored to ensure that all the members remain active.

There is a saying that "you shall know the truth, the truth shall set you free". This is applicable here because if many of the affiliates knew the truth, they would not have joined SFI.
To recruit only serious affiliates, 'the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth' should be told to them. This means that prospects should be told that:
i) this is a business that requires their sacrifice of time and money, as is
required of any other business.
ii) they would have to sell/promote the business.
iii) they would have to develop plans how to grow the business.
iv) they would need to start thinking as a leader and how to motivate a global team
of individuals.
v) after the first month, they would have to invest some cash and create a Standing
Order to maintain their status and move up the leadership ladder.
vi) for the first six to eight months it requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice
without much monetary reward.
From what I have been experiencing and learnt when a number of affiliates finds out what is required they make the decision not to continue. So I said before tell your prospects the whole truth, the SERIOUS ones will accept the challenge.

It should be noted that the amount of five future PTLs was used as a base for promotion but there is nothing which says that you have to stop there.
If for example, you stop at the five, what happens if you unfortunately lose two?
If one has the time and capacity to train ten future PTLs, he/she is free to do so. In other words, there is no restriction on any Team leader in this regards. Feel free therefore to use your capabilities to create as many future PTLs as possible.

Because there are no fees paid to join SFI the number of individuals we will get as PSAs are huge. Each of these individuals has an interest in the business but many after starting either do not see the big picture or just do not have the time to move on. The fact no one is automatically dismissed for not being active within a short while, leaving sponsors/co-sponsors in a quandary especially when they have a large amount of inactive PSAs,CSAs.

Option 1 - concentrate on your small number of EAs and teach to develop EAs themselves, since they are the ones that will bring you the benefits. The large bunch of inactive PSAs you may choose to ignore.

Option 2 - pay attention to all PSAs inclusive of your EAs.

My choice will be option 2 since it is possible that inactive PSAs can become activated and unleash potential that you never knew existed. For example, if 5% of an inactive bunch of 100 becomes active, this will result in bumper rewards for the sponsor/co-sponsor. On the other hand if for some reason, one or two of your EAs lose enthusiasm or drop out, your business can be tremendously affected.

In any case, there is not much to loose by supporting all your PSAs since that is needed is:-
i) regularly updating your Leadership Page with your blogs, tips, etc.
ii)sending out your PSA mailers which goes out to both active and inactive PSAs at
the same time and
iii)sending individual emails to the few active EAs dealing with specific issues and
instructions.
I hope this will help.
