I think you pose a great question that we all struggle with to a certain degree. The approach that I have found the most successful is to try and make it personal. If your downline feel that you are connected with them they will work a little harder and put in the extra effort to succeed with SFI ... and that is what we want is for each and every PSA to be successful. While that may not be the reality it should at least be our goal.
The next thing that I have found positive results with is to keep it simple. Do not give the new member too much at once ... they become overwhelmed and then do not come back. I will usually ask them to complete their GETTING STARTED tasks (and I share the link so they can simply click) and then I ask them to e-mail me back for the next step. I have a series of word documents that I can simply copy and paste into an e-mail ... make a few tweaks for the individual and then off it goes.
It is extremely rewarding to connect with your team members and to be able to communicate with them on a 1:1 basis and I very much enjoy when I have the opportunity to do so. I also find that I learn from their questions as many times I need to research an answer to be sure I am providing accurate information and this makes me a stronger team leader.
So in short, my answer is make it personal and keep it simple.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer my insights from experience.
