Hi Laura,
You can find many ways to communicate with your team.
Taking notes of all the information you read can help your remember those you find on SFI.
You can find the different ways on the training information under the affiliate tips at:
https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AffiliateTips
Also, read the LaunchPad day 17 at: https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/Day17
Here are some steps to take for communicating with your team.
1) Your Welcome and Follow up message:
Welcome your new PSAs and CSAs as soon as you know. It's nice to send a Welcome E-Card.
You can find a message you can use or get an idea of what to say at:
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/NewAffiliateGreeting
I also send an e-mail to them after the welcome message (Usually a day later)
This message has two reasons:
A) It tells them what they need to do as:
Going to their SFI business and signing in daily at: https://www.sfimg.com/
Explaining it's important to do these steps first, if they have not done them.
1) The "Start" at: www.sfimg.com/start
2) The "Basics" at: www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics
3) The "Launchpad" at: www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad
Explain that SFI can look confusing, but you are there to answer any questions.
Show up daily, because this is their business and must be worked to learn, earn, and to
become successful.
Read the Alerts, the Forum, the To-Do list actions and mark the blue tabs at the bottom of
each page.
Each task earns 1 Versa Point (VP), which equals earning income, since there are affiliates
from all over the world.
Explain the goal of 1500 VPs to become and EA (Executive Affiliate) or more to become a
Team Leader. The Benefits Chart is helpful also. You can find this at:
https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/ComparisonChart
The first month is easy to make the VPs because this is given to you to learn how to work and
to get to know the SFI website.
B) The other reason I send an e-mail is to make sure that the new Affiliate's e-mail is correct.
Most are not white-listed yet and doing this will let you know if is correct and they have
received your E-Card.
C) These are just ideas so don't make the e-mail really long so they will not read it.
2) It is important to send a weekly Group Mailing or Newsletter.
There are good messages to give your team all over SFI.
Start by going to your Training tab at: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/
Good information to start with is "Getting Started With Your SFI Business" at:
https://www.sfimg.com/Training/GeneralTraining
Read something new everyday and suggest your team do the same.
To find Ideas for Weekly Newsletters go to: https://www.sfimg.com/PopUp/sampleMessages
3) Read the Alerts, Forum, Latest News and Ask SC for good information also.
Some examples are:
a) "How do I come up with good content for my weekly newsletters to my team?" at:
https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc_question&id=10005453
b) "How to write e-mails that create EAs" at: www.sfimg.com/Reference/AskGery020207
c) "How to Be An Awesome Sponsor" at: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=191295
4) Make sure you communicate with new affiliates that have started and then stopped or never
started at all. Many are just frustrated and need your help.
If they don't contact you immediately, there is always to possibly they will later.
You do not know the situation of others, so make sure to send group mailings to all your team.
For example, I had my top PSA stop working completely.
I am in contact with him every few weeks. He has a new job that takes him away from home
and has no internet connections. He says he misses SFI and will come back when he can.
I am hoping he will return soon.
5) Making friends with your team can show them that you are partners in this business.
By teaching what you are doing (duplicating) can help everyone to become successful.
Just by following your lead.
6) Last but not least, write as if you are talking to each person on your team.
I hope this will help you.
May you be Blessed in all you do.
