My suggestion would be to let them know you are there for them all the time. Stay in regular contact, at least every second day and make it personal. You need to build up trust and confidence in you so that they will ask you questions. Give them your best tips for the first months and encourage them when they follow through. Then, give them the best way to get through the second month, and so on.
SFI can be overwhelming without the guidance and encouragement of a sponsor and people tend to give up more quickly.
I speak from experience because I never heard from my sponsor and so missed out on things like E365 and other subjects I wished I had known about. Also, there are so many things that I am still learning. Things that I would have never known to ask because I was new, but that a good sponsor would have informed me about.
It is important too to realize that your PSAs learn from you. The better of a sponsor you are, the more they will learn how to be a good sponsor too, which in turn will benefit you.
