Hi Sharon,

I have my own welcome letters I send out which, to be honest, are long enough. I do read and use Affiliate Profiles, especially when my team member is lacking in an area. ("I wrote that I can spend $100-$200 per month but so far I don't log in everyday and I haven't spent a cent.")

I like using the Affiliate Profile so I can see what my team member's background is and what they will be prepared to do or invest in their SFI business. Personally, I wait to use the information until it's needed. (After all, they have just joined and I don't want to come across as "Affiliate Profile! I caught you! No, I'm not a spy..."

If you are going to use some information from their Affiliate Profile, I would keep it light in a welcome letter. You could say "Like you, I never had my own business before I joined SFI and now I feel I am successful." (If it's true and it sounds better than "I don't work my SFI business, I'm dirt poor and I'm such a Loser!")

I think it's great if a Team Leader reads Affiliate Profiles. Yes, I know from personal experience that they take time to read but two (2) things:

1) They're my team member and I'm their Team Leader; and

2) A huge one for me, I'm an extremely curious person so I must (find out)

This inspired me. Just a minute ago I came up with an idea for a Quick Filter (I love to use the Quick Filter in Genealogy): To use certain elements of Affiliate Profiles in Quick Filter for Mailer (PSA, CSA, Genealogy Group) purposes. I'll submit my idea to the SFI Suggestion Box.

I hope I've helped you. Thanks, I had fun! :-)

All my best to you and yours.
