Hello, Hristina,
The late Sir Winston Churchill said this: “If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.”
Winston Churchill
COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION
Our best tip to new PSAs the value of communication. We cannot emphasize enough its importance. We feel so strongly about that, we include our own quotation EVERY MONTH in the Stream and have sent several weekly messages about its importance. It is included in the text of our Leadership Page and often in the body of personal messages and e-cards. In short, we try to put it in front of our team as often as possible.
We often see someone else speaking about the importance of communication but have never seen any “Tip of the Day” concerning it. And we are even more surprised SFI doesn’t stress it as often as we think it should.
We believe it is so important, we begin our first message to ALL new PSAs (even if they are from predominately English speaking countries), like this: “Hi, ~FIRSTNAME~, If you are not comfortable with English, we encourage you to become familiar with GOOGLE TRANSLATE. SFI has provided a link to it at the bottom of nearly every SFI page.
We then explain how to use it and encourage them to feel free sending us their communications in their native language and we will use it when we get their messages. We also send all personal messages to them (e-mail and e-card) in both the language they indicated in their profile AND English for the first few months and often look up the official language of their country and use that until they indicate to me they are comfortable with English.
Then we introduce ourselves and begin to try form a relationship with them.
