To get your affiliates to respond to your messages, first off keep your messages short and to the point.
You want your affiliates to read your messages and not ignore them or worse still block them altogether. So keep them short, use everyday language (words) wherever possible and make your point as soon as possible. Include images if possible to draw their attention to your messages. Having images can reinforce your message or explain your message better than words.
Having overcome hurdle number one and you have your affiliates reading your messages, you want your affiliates "to respond to you." In other words you want them to communicate with you regarding your messages.
This is really what the question is all about.
To achieve this I recommend the following:
1. Do remember to ask them to respond to your message. Just because you sent a message does not mean they will automatically send you a message in return. As per the Biblical saying ‘Ask and you will receive.’
2. Chat with them whenever possible. Take every opportunity to talk with them such as: You can check the Genealogy for birthdays daily and send then e- birthday cards; when you see that they are online, say hello; when you see a posting in the Forum from one of your team members, connect and post a reply/comment; you see that they have won a prize of some sort, send them a congratulatory message; when they reach milestone, make a big fuzz of their achievement.......... In other words, be an awesome sponsor and constantly be with them, supporting them, cheering them on. You do these and they cannot ignore your messages for long. They will respond.
3. Your Streams and Newsletters are much much more than means of getting yourself VPs. I suggest that you take the approach that getting the VPs is a by-product of good content streams and newsletters. The focus should always be the affiliates and their needs. I always include in my newsletter a request for some feedbacks. How did they find the newsletter and if they can suggest anyway of improving it. I do get comments not only the newsletter but also at the streams.
4. You can also try some sort of ‘respond for reward.’ If you are running a team survey, you could say th the 1st 10 people to respond will receive 2 TCredit each. aske sure you keep to your word.
5. Recently I sent out a list of resources that my sponsor was making available for the team and asked them to rate the products in their order of preference. That was a huge success and I am still collating the responses for my sponsor. I think this great response was because they can see the benefits of what is being offered.
So, apart from sending short, clear and easy to understand messages, as you can see from the above if you also focus on the wants and needs of your team, they will definitely respond to your messages
