Hi Jovan! It depends. How many new affiliates did you get today? One? Ten? 50? 1679?
Personally, I've sent individual emails to 23 new affiliates on one day. That was my welcome letter, and it is the same for each new affiliate. Then I noted my action on the Affiliate Manager, Notes tab (found on the affiliate snapshot). I also completed the Start section, and marked my welcome letter as sent.
That process takes some time. If you do SFI after you have worked your primary job, taken care of your children, the house, your spouse, and whatever else you day entails, you may be pressed for time to devote to all those letters and record keeping.
Furthermore, even if you work full time at SFI, do you really think you can do 1679 welcome letters to your new affiliates, and note it on your Affiliate Manager, plus your advertising, plus help your affiliates that have asked for help, and do your To-Do List, all today? This is a duplicate-able business, or should be. If you have more than a few new affiliates each day, sending individual welcome letters, I believe, isn't feasible.
Here is what I now suggest. Go to your genealogy and use the filter to select only the new affiliates that joined today, copy your welcome letter, be sure to use ~FIRSTNAME~ so the system inserts their first name into the welcome letter, and read it again to catch any errors (and correct them), and send the letter. ALL of your new affiliates will get an email that addresses them by name, and includes of the information that you believe they need at this time.
Then note on the Affiliate Snapshot, at Start, that you have sent the welcome email. Note the date you sent it on Notes, and save your notes. The pencil will turn green on Genealogy when you have a note. That way you know you sent the welcome letter by looking at your Genealogy.
When they answer your email, it is time to give personal attention to your new affiliate. Take all the time you and your new affiliate need to take. While this is a simple business, it takes time to learn to work it. Now you can develop a relationship over time. Now you can begin to develop a friendship. Congratulations, at this point, it is a two-way communication!
