This is an interesting question that I may have un unpopular answer for. I have clicked on the link and greeted them personally with a note just saying "Hi! This is Leigh Ann, your sponsor, and I just noticed that you were signing up as I happened to be online. I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to my team!"
At this point, I have never received a reply and EVERY person that I have done this with have never been productive with SFI. In fact, I think that immediate contact may scare them off!
Here's what I do:
I have brief welcome letter that introduces myself and welcomes them to my team. I offer my assistance and make sure they understand that I truly am here to help them succeed. I email that message to them and get a very good response rate it. I tend to follow up with them a few days later, again offering any assistance, but not being pushy.
This helps to develop a good relationship with my PSA's. The IM link tends to be a little too much contact, too quickly, for many people. I use that tool for my PSA's as they become active. It's a great tool if used in the proper way!
