You should avoid information overload in your first letter which is supposed to be a welcome letter. Remember also that SFI sends messages to them too so there may be need to avoid unnecessary duplication. Though I agree that repetition results in reinforcement of message, but minimise this in your first letter and make it very cordial, friendly and reassuring as much as possible.

Please find below a sample letter in my opinion:

Dear xxxxxx,

I am xxxxxxx your SFI sponsor and I am very happy to welcome you as one of the newest members of my team. It is often hard to find someone who makes a life changing decision to become financially independent but you did not only demonstrate your capacity to make that decision, you also demonstrated the wisdom and foresight to join one of the most reputable online income organisations, SFI. I congratulate you for this.

As your sponsor, my main responsibility is to guide and assist you as you embark on this awesome journey of build a successful business here, but we have to work together to make this a reality, so please do not hesitate to contact me any time you need assistance. You can reach me through 'SEND ME A TEAM MAIL' by clicking on my name at your homepage or at xxxxxxx(email address). Please visit my Leadership page here xxxxxxx for tips, contests and gifts.

Please concentrate for now on reading the training materials on site, under the Training tab on your homepage and also your Launchpads (may be one per day), while you complete the actions on your To-Do-List (TDL). In addition to these, there are some steps you need to take now or consider them seriously as you move along:

- Login regularly to complete your daily actions and familiarise yourself with SFI news update.

- Seriously review the Fast Track program, but first complete the 5 fast track actions on your TDL

-Register at the Forum to join the community where ideas are shared and problem solved

-Register as an a2a member to relate with valuable and helpful friends you will meet along.

There are various ways to earn income here which is why you joined, so in the coming days I will introduce you to each of them gradually.

That will be all for now and until you hear from me again, Aim High and Dream Big! Congratulations once more and I am very eager to commence work with you.

Kind Regards,
Your name, Rank

The first email that is sent to your new affiliate is the message that you have submitted to SFI as your “Welcome letter.” You can find samples of welcome letters from the ASK SC answers found at this link: https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=ask_sc_question&id=987

You can also find a sample welcome letter to use and edit for your new affiliates at this link: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/IntroduceYourself

Remember during the first couple of days a new affiliate signs up they are inundated with all kinds of new information advising them to do such and such. What you need to do as their sponsor is to introduce yourself and assure your new affiliate that you are their team leader and you are committed to their success.

Give them all the communication links that you use so they will not have trouble contacting you. Also give them the link to the forum and inform them that the forum members will help you if you are not available.

It is important to start building the communication relationship that you will need to assist them with business activities. Let them know in your introductory letter that you will contact them in a couple of days and ask them to write down any questions they may have so you can answer them.

If you are sending a different “first” email to them after your introduction letter then you can touch lightly on the Fast Track system, Earning their first 1,500 VP and saving some of the “easy” action VP for the following month if they don’t take the fast track.

Remember build a relationship first - when they know and trust you then you can get into the meat of their SFI and TripleClicks business.

In my own welcome email, I introduce myself first and let them know who I am and where I am from, like which country. Then I introduce SFI and clarify that this is not a get-rich-quick scheme. I put this particular statement because I don't want the newbies to get a different idea of SFI. Thinking that they put in money today and will get double or triple next month.

This will obviously not sit well with a few people and will probably opt out but hey, at least they won't waste my time and effort.

Then I clarify that this business needs their time and effort just like any other businesses. Just because this is an internet business does not mean the effort we need to put in is any less than a normal storefront business. I know I sound a bit harsh here but I want my new affiliates to know what they are getting in.

And after all that, I assure them that I am here all the way with them. That I have an SFI training website that they can refer to for help. That they can email me anytime if they have any questions. That they can expect to receive tips and tricks from me in their mailbox on how to do the SFI business.

And usually, after sending my welcome message above, I follow up with an e-card with my first tip. It could be anything from suggestions on their monthly goals to not forgetting to click the 'V' at the top corner to collect their Getting Started VPs.

Your first email to your newly acquired affiliates may hold the key in helping them to get started their journey in SFI systematically. It is very important to get your message to them as clearly as possible and in an easy-to-understand language. Mostly new affiliates have no background in network marketing. It is therefore essential to emphasize to them that SFI requires a long term commitment.

In your first email you should include the following important information:

- Introduce yourself and give your new affiliates a warm welcome.

You should express your full support to them by emphasizing that their success is your success and that you do whatever you can to help them. Include your leadership page link for updates concerning your team and to get them stay connected.

- Emphasize in your message that on their first month, they need to focus on SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD.

These two sections are very important for them to understand in order to grasp how SFI works and be on the right foundation. For clarity, refer them to the ultra-simple 3-step plan.

- Let them know on their first day about the advantages of becoming a Fast-Track member. State clearly in your message the qualifications of becoming a Fast-Track member and don’t forget to provide the link https://www.sfimg.com/FT for more details.

- Refer them to the GETTING-STARTED section and ask them to perform first all actions with jet signs, namely “confirming your registration”, “whitelisting [email protected]”, “completing your Affiliate Profile”, “sending your SFI Commitment Message to your sponsor “, and “uploading your photo to the Affiliate Center”. By doing this, they’re not only meeting one of the qualifications of becoming a Fast-Track member but also establishing systematically and having the important basic tools in operating their own SFI businesses.

- Let them know that they need to be consistent and allocate time in logging in everyday at the Affiliate Center to review the information on each of the tabs on their homepage.

- Inform them in your message that you’ll be sending them weekly tips and advice for growing their SFI businesses.

- Because first impression carries a lot of weight in gaining the trust of your new affiliates, don’t forget to mention that they are most welcome to ask you any questions and that you’re always there for them. Let them know that they have made a great decision in joining and that SFI is poised to explode with growth over the next years to come.

My first email to them will of course be my welcome letter after receiving notification that they have joined SFI as an affiliate.

I would warmly welcome them and congratulate them for making a wise decision joining SFI.

The following are what I feel are the burning questions that the bulk of new affiliates have so I would address them first.

1. What SFI is about - I would give them a very brief rundown in one or two sentences.

2. Their role of Affiliates - again a very brief run down.

3. What what my role is as their sponsor. - I place a bit more emphasis on this to ensure that they understand that I am their 1st point of contact and that I am here to help them grow their businesses. I direct them to my Leadership page where it tells them a bit more about myself.

4. What to do now - They want to know how to do the work so I guide them to the Affiliate Center, to the Start, SFI Basics and the Action lists and red tabs. I encourage them to start on the Launchpad lessons after they have had a look around the site.

5. I also warn them out that there is a lot of reading and new information. This is natural for most new business and new jobs so dont be overwhelmed by them. Pace themselves and take on only what they can cope with.

6. Lastly I let them know that they can find on each SFI site page a translator if English is not their preferred language.

These are the main points I cover in that initial email and they are covered Very Briefly.

The important thing to accomplish is to get them started smoothly without scaring them off with a ton of links and instructions.

I have seen many affiliates with inactive teams who swear by a welcome mail with 25 links in it that is a mile long. They say it's what they wished they had when they joined but the fact they are writing threads complaining about 99% of their referrals being inactive shows that these mailings are not working.

A Good e-mail will read something like this.

Hello ~FIRSTMANE~ ,

My name is ________ and I am your sponsor at Strong Future International or SFI and TripleClicks. I have been an online business owner and affiliate marketer for ______ months/years and have seen many programs come and go but SFI has been here for 17 years and just keeps getting stronger.

SFI is the affiliate program that powers retail marketing mega site and online penny auctions at TripleClicks.com where over 6,000 merchants offer nearly 100,000 products to over 3.75 million shoppers and growing. Your business revolves around 3 major task.

1. Recruiting more shoppers for TripleClicks.
2. Referring more E-commerce Associates or retailers to TripleClicks.
3. Building a team of affiliates under you at SFI to amplify your efforts.

Getting started is easy.

When you log in at www.sfimg.com you will see 3 buttons at the top of the page.

1. Start : This is a quick video overview and official welcome to SFI from Founder and President Gery Carson. It will show you how to use research tools on the site and where to find vital training and support.

2. SFI Basics. This system is so simple and easy that these really short basics are the core of what you need to be a success and they revolve around the 3 simple steps to SFI success which are A. Become an Executive Affiliate B. Recruit other affiliates C. Teach the affiliates you recruit to do steps A and B.

3. Launchpad: These are 30 lessons, or 1 a day for 30 days to get you up and running and well on your way to profits. Please focus on learning these lessons instead of trying to do them all in a day or two and getting confused, you will make more money in the long run if you take time and learn to do things the right way.

That's pretty much the basics.

SFI is not a Get Rich Quick scheme, it's not MLM, it's not a job, it's a real business that can pay you a 6 to 7 figure income or more, but it will take you a minimum 6 months to develop, so please hang in there and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Your Name
[email protected]
www.yoursite.com


Feel free to use this as an example but tell your story, and Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS every new affiliate and you will see increased conversions. The last thing I will not is that this welcome e-mail is best sent from your own private e-mail account because many SFI messages end up in the recipients SPAM folder until they whitelist sfimg.com which is a task in those initial getting started steps.

The sort of information that will get them to understand what to do first thing is what you should give in your first email to new affiliates.

If you give too much irrelevant information you run the risk of overwhelming them. Better stick to the tried and tested way of providing vital information as a step by step procedure.

You advise them to first click the grey START button and watch Gery Carson's short video. This is to provide them with a birds' eyeview of the business from the words of the President and Founder of SFI/TC himself.

To read the four important things they need to do to succeed in SFI by clicking SFI BASICS, especially the Ultra-Simple 3 steps which are the core of SFI Business, without which no duplication will occur and business will not grow and succeed.

And the most important training is the 30-Day lessons of the LaunchPad with special emphasis on Day 6 - Central to Your Success, and Day 11- Overnight Success - NOT.

A short explanation of what VersaPoint is will also be helpful as new Affiliates will be reading a lot about VP. It's best to clarify this and how VPs affect ranking.

In addition to the above, it is crucial to include the information on SFI Rules of Success. If one has to succeed, one must know that success has rules.
