Answers can be found by querying the vast knowledge base of the affiliate center. Let the affiliate know that it will take you a moment to check on the information and you will get back with them in a specified period of time. In the upper right is the search feature. It is very easy to use and find just about any answer that you need. Should you not be able to match keywords for the query that you are looking for then you can use the site map. The site map indexes all of the major sections

Hi Pamela.

The first place you can go is the search bar at the top of the page. Type in whatever topic of description about the question, and look for whatever relevant topics that come up.

You can click on those topics to find out what they say, and hopefully you will find the answer you are looking for.

Second, go to ASK SC and in the search box, type in a topic again to see if anyone has asked a question that is similar to what you are searching for. If you find

This is a good time to help your team member learn how to use the resources available to SFI affiliates.

You can explain that the forum is a good source of information from fellow affiliates. you can help him/her format the question so that they can get the best answer.

You can also explain that Ask SC is another good source of help from fellow affiliates.

Hello.
1. Learning yourself first is the key. To know the info first and not depend on your upline all the time is the best solution. If you pick one or two new items a day to learn you will in most cases be able to answer questions your team may ask you. Also keeping on top of your daily tasks will give you new info to work with and write down or remember each day as well.
2. If you do not know the answer here are some ways to find it.
a. First I would highly recommend that you use

It is important what kind of question your member ask.
I avoid to give a direct answer when a simple question, but I would give guidance where to look for the answer.
If it is a complicated issue, which I do not know the answer, I would offer my team member to seek a solution together.
The possibility exists
