Every sponsor might have a personal preference in how they approach training their PSAs or CSAs. However, there is one thing that all sponsors should have in common and that is beginning your training with a letter of welcome. Again the contents of this letter will differ from sponsor to sponsor but it is good practice that the sponsor makes the new affiliate feel at home and does not begin with “information overload.”
Take it step by step as most of what the affiliate needs to know is already available on the SFI website and the role of the sponsor is mostly guidance where it is needed. Whenever we begin something new we are always curios and the best way to overcome this initial curiosity for the new affiliate is to begin with the simple things. I abbreviate these initial steps as S.B.L for Start, Basics, Launchpad. If the PSA or CSA can appreciate these simple tasks then he or she will be ready for the bigger tasks that lie ahead.
If the PSA or CSA is keen on working with you, then this will be seen in how they respond to your messages and in the questions they ask. Encourage them to read. A good example where most new Affiliates make a big mistake is the Lauchpad. They start with the misconception that what they need are many versa points and some of them may do all Lauchpad lessons in a single day. Training is a process and that is why the Lauchpad is spread over 30 days. This allows the person time to apply what has been read.
In helping your affiliates, you will need to make the most of the communication tools available at SFI such as PSA and CSA mailer and Genealogy. If you have hundreds of affiliates on your team then these tools very good for sending team messages or newsletters. Also bear in mind that honesty and integrity are also very important in training your affiliates for you cannot tell them to do what you have failed to do.
So for you as a sponsor, the best way to train your affiliates is to first equip yourself with all the resources available to you at SFI, do as you say and effectively apply the process of duplication.
