Sponsors should support their affiliates 150%. Some say don't give them money. I say without some money how do you expect them to make a purchase? If you want to create income with your SFI business (we all do!) then you must understand that you get back what you give out!
If an affiliate is doing everything that you ask them to do, then; there is nothing shameful about sending them a $10 gift certificate. It's the best kind of reinforcement. It shows that you are not just expecting to take money from them but you are willing to share your success with them. I promise you that if you reward workers in such a way that they will be on fire! Your credibility and rapport will be strengthen and the affiliates belief in the company and in your leadership will be strengthen. Always reward your workers. If not with a gift certificate, with a word of praise and recognition. It goes a long ways.
Likewise, connect with your affiliates on a personal level but not too personal. This is where the line should not be crossed. Don't get emotionally involved with your team members. It is not good for business. Learn about their likes and dislikes - there strengths and weaknesses. It's okay to learn about general family life. That's it. Keep it professional. No lewd comments or gestures should be allowed. We work in a people business and people must be respected at the base level. Prejudices don't have place. Preferences don't have place. Every affiliate regardless of sex, race, religion, or otherwise are welcomed to work according to the terms of service provided by our affiliate agreement. No form of disparity is allowed. Treat all of your affiliates as your business partners as they are.
Finally, we will do just fine if we practice the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you. If problems arise, follow the chain of communication. Let your sponsor know your concerns first. Then if not satisfied reach out to your co-sponsor. Then contact your upline support. Don't wait until you have a problem to reach out. Talk to them. Let them know your concerns and goals. They are there to help you. Use the forum and A2A for additional support when needed but don't forget your sponsor has a vested interest in your success - use their knowledge and resources.
