Auto-responder is a Computer program that automatically sends information by email (such as a mailbot). It responds or answers to received mail automatically.
Auto-responders allow you to capture contact information from a sign-up form on a web page and automatically store the information in a database. You may now program the database to send a series of follow-up messages to the captured contact list at predetermined intervals.
For me an auto-responder is not ideal for SFI biz because of the following reasons.
1a. Most request, question, or mail from SFI prospects or members are specific to a topic and vary from person to person. Auto responder is only great to answer or respond to generalized questions.
1b. SFI biz requires intimate relationship to build trust. Dynamism and trust is what facilitate sale the most. With auto-responder your prospect interact much more with a static program(e.g mailbot). They become discouraged If they later discover, they have been interacting with a static program and not a person.
2.It's easy to procrastinate writing auto-responder messages because it takes a lot of time to write up the programming. If they are not effective your prospect or teammates may be turned off feeling you do not place value in their success in SFI.
3. Auto-responder is expensive especially if you need to hire someone to write up the programming for you. Not all SFI affiliate is vast in writing programs like JAVASCRIPT, PHP,XML, HTML (etc). You may also need to pay the programmer for updates to meet up with the new challenges of the biz.
