The first rule of getting to know anyone, PSAs included, is to elicit information about that person's personal values and perspective. That is, you need to know who your PSAs are and why they're here. This will show you how to motivate and train the person, as well as suggest the way he or she might be most effective.

From this information alone, you can learn:

* what marketing techniques a PSA has used before,
* what talents he or she can bring to his or her role as an affiliate,
* if his or her goals are realistic, and
* how your PSA thinks he or she will profit most.

Take advantage of this information, and you can adjust your training to motivate him or her best.

The PSA's Affiliate Profile for me is the best tool that a team leader had to help/guide his PSA on target according to the goal. Why? Because all the information is already there.

1. The feeling towards the program.
2. The plan how far he will pursue the business in his set goals.
3. How much time each can devote everyday,
4. How much monetary amount he can afford to spend for the business.
5. The driving factor or inspiration of joining the business.

To summarized a team leader had more or less ideas on how he can help by going over the PSA Profile, granting that the concerned PSA will leave up to what he/she wrote in his/her profile.

I believed that affiliate snap shot is part of the profile, wherein you can view the recent activity of your PSA's. Especially the VP ledger. As you go over it you can give advice/tip or let them knew that they missed something in their to do lists.

The best way to use is to go over it and study what kind of strategy you will make with a certain PSA based on what he is written on his profile. But this will be useful for the team leader only if the PSA's were responsive enough to all the communication the team leader sent.

Good Luck!!!!

Great question.

In actuality the affiliate profile is one of the most important pieces of data obtained by SFI and also first step for any new incoming PSA to complete in full and clearly to the best of their ability. It allows a SFI to better align the vast resources at your disposal to your prospective PSA individual needs and better position them to obtain the proper training and guidance that will aid them in building an effective business.

Now, that's how SFI uses the affiliate profile to their advantage. To answer your question and how you could make use of your PSA's affiliate profile data to assist them in becoming successful in the SFI, is by leveraging the same information in a similar capacity.

The answers that your PSAs provided tell their story in many ways. The first question alone is quite powerful. If you were to look at all your PSAs profiles answer to question 1, it sort of eludes to the fact of where one should be advertising.

More simply put if you go through a thousand profiles of all your PSA and tally the answer of how they heard about SFI, it presents a powerful picture because it will lead you to more affective sources of advertising or more effective targeted methods to source your leads which then you can turn around and explain right back to your PSA and explain how they can leverage profiles of their own PSA to grow their business.

Using the answer to question #2 and combining together with the answer to question number one becomes even more powerful because it gives you the basis of why they're starting their business to begin with AND tells you where they were sourced from.

Let's go back to the basics. The most effective method of advertising is to know what your perspective buyer wants and where they go to get it. You have this information at your fingertips in your PSAs affiliate profile, with their answers to questions one and two.

So without having to go through and explain the rationale of what you can leverage from each question in the affiliate profile to explain my point, all you need to do is go through the answers of your affiliates profile and explain to them how they can just turn around and leverage the logic around the basis for the questions in the affiliate profile so they can turn around and help their own PSA.

I hope I was able to provide some value in clarifying how one can not only leverage the affiliate profile questions and answers not just to help your PSA's grow their business but also to help you better grow your own too.

Good luck.

I would send my welcome greeting with some general instructions on how to proceed to my new PSAs, giving them a few days to find out about their profile and how best to complete it.

At least 3 days after joining, and no more than a week, would be long enough that they should have profile complete. Then is time for you to go check out what they have posted. At the very least, you will see their main reason for joining SFI, and mayhaps a more complete explanation towards the bottom of the things they would like to be able to have in their lives eventually. You will also see how much experience they do/do not have with advertising, recruiting, etc.

Giving them time to get acclimated to SFI and complete their profiles will better help you "figure them out", and find the clues to how you can best help them become successful here.

And, above all, don't forget to show them by example the best ways to go forward:)

Best wishes to you and your growing team!!:))...

I feel the profile can give you some idea if the affiliate filled in all the information, but I can tell you that my profile is filled in completely but if my sponsor relied on that to help me she would not have been able to do so. My sponsor got to know me through e-mails, chat and even Facebook. I am now doing the same thing with my affiliates.

I say hallo and chat to them whenever they are on line - give tem the opportunity to talk to me in real time and ask questions. When they send me an e-mail I answer it as quickly as possible. I tell them about myself to show them I am "open" to them and in doing so encourage them to tell me about themselves.

You need to find out why they joined SFI in the 1st place. One example: To improve my standard of living does not tell the whole story.

Just DO NOT fake interest - you will do more harm to your business than good. Be honest, be genuine and you will get the information you need to be an awesome sponsor.

Thanks for this question.

I don't think you can do anything constructive by knowing an Affiliate's profile.

For example, if an affiliate profile says he is good at acting, or playing instruments will it be of any help to the Sponsor. Certainly not. There is nothing much one can draw out of an Affiliate's profile.

Within a matter of few days of joining, you will know by experience, whether the Affiliate is really serious, or just joined SFI out of curiosity, etc. If you see him regularly in your Movers then please get serious about him and help him to gather the requisite points to become EA that month.

You can guide him on what are all the Actions to be performed immediately, what can be carried forward for next month so that it will be easier for him to become/remain EA in the first 2 months of joining.

If he performs with all seriousness, you will know it like he starts building his own team, asking questions about become TL, etc.

Please work with closely. Please keep encouraging him regularly. Please stay in touch with him if possible through phone (whatsapp, skype, etc). In short, please remain a source of inspiration to him through your achievements and consistent performance.

At the appropriate time, gift him with TCredits/Re-assigning performing PSAs/Gift Certificates, etc.

Do remember - As Sponsors, our job is to teach/guide/train/assist/support and help our Team to Grow and succeed with us. Our success too depends on their growth and performance. They are not our subordinates. They are also independent contractors like us.

When we support them with genuine concern, care and compassion they will certainly off to a good start & become successful in SFI.

Together, we can grow!
Together, we can succeed!!
Together, we can win!!!
Together, we can enjoy!!!!

It's always Together!! We have to demonstrate it to our Team without fail!!!

Hello Ms Stephen

In general Info section, you get information about your affiliate the reson of his/her joining SFIand whether he/she operates any other business at present. From here you can conclude how many hour he or she would be able to spare for SFI and guide him/her accordingly.

Prior experience of your affiliate comes as a great benefit for you otherwise you need to train him/her on Internet Business from the A to Z. If he/she has a phusical store she can get affiliates in the form of customers coming to his/her store daily. If by chance your affiliate has been in a Leadership position prior to joining SFI, it would be an added advantage in SFI too. It would help him/her in duplication.

Amount per month his/her can invest in advertising his/her business: None
Does he/she have his/her own personal or business Website? Does he/she have his/her own domain? (e.g. www.domain.com) With all the above information you can plan your strategy to help her/him.

"How can I use a PSA's Affiliate Profile to help him or her get off to a good start and become successful in SFI? "

Observing the profile is a good starting point to get a general idea of what an affiliate expects to get out of joining the SFI program. Now what happens if the affiliate does not fill out the profile information completely? Than you might need to focus more on your movers and their needs, and how that information relates to what they want out of the SFI program.

The focus should be on the top performers, that is, less push, and more of a pull type marketing campaign strategy. Pull your movers since they are gaining traction within the program, and try not to push your none-movers when they are on brakes.

Just being a translator of the program will better serve the success of your movers. As far as the none-mover are concerned, keep putting crucial information in their hands, in the form of weekly emails, at some point they will find a use for that information.
