It is easy for team leaders to get excited about signing up new affiliate and then sending the new affiliates to much information for them to digest. This in turn creates what is known as “information overload.”
A new affiliate who is bombarded with information all at once can get very confused and slow down their start up activities and even cause some affiliates to feel like it is too much for them so they quit before ever getting started.
Team leaders need to remember that a new affiliate is receiving emails from SFI and TripleClicks during their first 30 days. They are also receiving our weekly newsletter that we send to our team. Our new affiliates are also seeing the stream post that their sponsors are writing 3 or more times a week. They are also being asked to read 10 or more “ASK SC” questions and answers. Talk about overload!
During my new affiliates first 30 days I will only send small “To the point” Ecards guiding them in the direction they should be heading in. (Along with the weekly team newsletters).
My main encouragement during this indoctrination time is to remind them that I am here to help them if they do not understand some of their training material.
If they are serious about their new business they will contact you and ask for information that is the time to get into the details of how to accomplish what they are asking for.
When you have a new baby in the house you feed them baby food not meat and potatoes. Save the meat until they are able to chew the information you are sending them giving them too much to early will cause them to choke on it.
I say “drip feed” them information until they are ready to stand in the shower.
