PSAs and CSAs are like business associates. Staying in touch with them is an issue one cannot over-emphasize.
First of all, SFI provides various means whereby we can stay in touch with our downline. In my opinion, the number of times we can stay in touch with them cannot be quantified. What is important is for you to leave communication lines open all the time. At least it is helpful to make yourself accessible to your downline, because they may need help at odd hours.
In answering your question, "how often is best to stay in contact with downline?", apart from the weekly mail that fetches you VersaPoints, it is crucial to always stay in touch with them.
As long your downline needs help from you, you should do all you can to help sort out their issues. Be prompt with your responses and do your best for them. Most times we find downlines who do not respond to emails or IMs. Do not give up on them. Keep watching their progress and keep encouraging them. They may come round someday. Some affiliates may be reluctant to respond to emails cos they are not comfortable communicating with strangers. But you can debunk this myth by constant communication.
The following means of communication can be used to reach out to them.
1. The SFI Team mail (Geneaology Tab) - Very often we can send team mails through our genealogy tab to either our group of PSAs or CSAs or we could send a general team mail to all our downline. The Genealogy tab helps to filter these groups too and that is quite convenient.
2. SFI Online Chat - This is available if a downline is online. You can click to send an instant message to an affiliate. Your downline at the other end gets the message instantly too.
3. Your leadership page - This is another helpful tool for communication. Keep your leadership page updated. Always refer affiliates to your leadership page. There they can find useful information too when you are not available.
Set contests for your team and encourage them to participate.
4. Set up a blog - It is also good to have a blog of your own and provide the link for your downline too. Keep them informed of new posts on your blog and avail them other helpful information.
5. Social media - The use of social media has given business a big boost in current times. You can add your downline to your social media contacts. Social media such as skype, facebook, twitter, my space, etc are some examples.
6. A2A - Encourage your downline by adding them up to your a2a friends. Also encourage them to add each other. When you send out a message on your stream tab, you can select your a2a friends exclusively and send out tips to them. That way they get to read from you.
7. Emails - The conventional Email is also helpful
Communication is very key in the success of any business.
Cheers:)
