Hi Michael,
Good question and one I have often thought about...
First and foremost, we know SFI system will send a lot of information to joining Affiliates so with that in mind, I prefer to send something like"

""""" Greetings, and welcome to SFI - and it is my privilege and pleasure to be appointed as your Sponsor....

My name is XXXXX and my role is help and guide you whenever you need it - so don't hesitate to email me on xxxxxx anytime you like.... and if I cant help, I will do my best to find out who can ....

For now, I would recommend that you concentrate on carefully studying all the lessons in Launchpad, and try to answer each and every question.
Then, read Gery Carsons - the Founder/President of SFI's "RULES OF SUCCESS".
(This information is the foundation blocks upon which you will build your business).

Be confident to know that SFI is not a scam, and not a pyramid scheme. BUT know also that SFI is not a 'get-rich-quick' scheme.
Only hardwork, dedication, determination and patience will bring you success..

Good luck in your SFI business endeavours.

Regards
XXXX
Your SFI Sponsor. """"

When doing the first email to your affiliates, it's best just to get acquainted with them. Learn about their why. Find out if they have a full time job or not. Share your SFI story with them. The first email should be more of a meet and greet than a whole litany of things to do right out of the gate. Remember you must build rapport with your team if you wish to build trust and foster a strong business relationship.

Too many affiliates want to jump right to the punch line. Show me the money. Even so, I can show you the money but you have to remember that I have worked long and hard to get to where I am. So in the beginning, you should be more concerned with setting the expectation than getting down to the nuts and bolts. SFI is drop dead simple but still many an affiliate has come here with the idea that they are going to get rich overnight. Not so!

Therefore, the time you take to learn about the disposition of your affiliates will not only show that you care but you can better learn how to present the business to them. Find out if they can afford to invest $36 per month into growing a nice business vs $200 per month. Money is not the deal breaker but it is common knowledge that there are costs to be associated with any profitable enterprise. I feel it is always best to build rapport in the first email and possible even the first 3 emails before you get into the heart of the business.

I think it is more important to connect with them in the first email. All of the advice in the world will be for naught if they don't know you.

I always start with my name and relation to them (Sponsor/Co-sponsor). Then I tell them that I am a real person and offer my help. I don't usually go into details of my offers, contests, etc. in the first email. "They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

The goal should simply be to get them to respond. You want them to write back to you. You can't really help anyone until you hear from them. Just be pleasant, friendly and positive. Smile while you write an email, it really comes across in what you say.

I also personalize it to them. I look to see what country/state they are from (find it in their profile by clicking on their name in your genealogy). I look up the most common language in their area and I look up how many people from that country are in SFI (I use a2a to search for members in their country). I then say something like: "Did you know we have over 130 people from Zambia as members? That is just the ones who are registered as a2a members. They are willing (as am I) to help you in any language (including Swahili)."

I always put my contact information at the end. Signing with your name, rank (EA,BTL,etc.) email address (or any other ways you use to contact people, ie: phone # skype, etc.) I sometimes include my Leadership Page link, so they can learn about me with our risking contact.

The more comfortable you can help them feel about talking to, listening to you or even just reading your emails, the more chance you have of helping them grow. Fast-Track or Standing Order are great things to take advantage of, but shoving such advice down their throat when you first talk to them will only get you ignored. Plus it sounds like you only want them to buy something so you can make money off of them.

I believe if you are not out to help others get what they want, you are in the wrong business.

Another way to get a response is to ask them a question. Keep it simple or they won't take the time to answer. Even "How can I help?" can be too much. They may not know yet what they need. Better questions would be do they speak another language, why did they join SFI, what do they like best about SFI, etc. But only one question is best. Too many and they won't answer any.

I really hope this helps. I see so many answers say what advice to give them, but really, you just want to make contact and connect with them in a way that lets you in the door to communicate further. Best Wishes to all.

Hi Michael!
Your first email to your affiliates is your welcome letter. In your welcome letter, you must introduce yourself.
After introducing yourself, you must guide them to get started. Since they don't know where to start. You must tell them:
1. that if English is a problem to them, they must use the'TRANSLATE'which they can find at the bottom right corner of every page.
2. they must check out the buttons on the top right corner under their photo. The Grey 'START', Blue 'SFI BASICS', and Green "LAUNCHPAD'.
a) they must click START and watch the Video,
b) they click SFI BASICS and read it
c) they must click LAUNCHPAD,read it and answer the questions.
Finally, tell them that communication is very important here. They must respond to the messages and they must not hesitate to contact you if they have questions or they need help.
Don't give them too much information because you might confuse or frighten them. As they read SFI BASICS and the LAUNCHPAD, they will get the information in a proper way. Your duty as a sponsor/co-sponsor is to guide them and point them to the right direction. After doing that you'll motivate them and respond to whatever follows.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.

Good question

I have said it before in forum, most people who sign up for SFI don't have the slightest idea of how SFI work. Many of us just send a welcome letter welcoming them to one of the most legitimate online business and that's all, hahahaha YES we all know SFI it's legitimate and believe me such words will not convince anyone outside because most of these people have fall into such words before and end up losing their money.

You and I know that SFI is legit and you are a member, what are the thing that make SFI legit? Let those answers be part of your welcome letter. Believe me everyone of us join SFI to make some money, so as well the new affiliates. Tell them the truth how SFI work, it's not a get quick rich business, they need patient, time and knowledge with little investment.

When we say time, it's not some hours or days, it could be months or years before they begin to see good results though they still make some few cent/dollars from the day they sing up. Let them know these, it's very important because if after some weeks without good result, you just recruited another inactive PSA.

In a short paragraph explain how SFI work, how to start? What to do? What is require of them every month? Kind of payment method SFI received?. Also, include all your contacts they can reach you on whenever they have questions.

Good luck

Hello!

In your first e-mail to your new affiliates don't go too far because they are already confused with lots of tabs and terms when they log in to their homepage.

Just introduce yourself and offer assistance, help and support so they get the feeling that they're not alone in this business, they will see it's about teamwork.

Later, you can go with details, one step at a time, as it comes: Fast Track, E365, blog, advertising...

Just be short and try to sound friendly so they start to trust you. This will make good foundation to develop good teamwork, friendship and all that's needed to grow this business successfully.

I hope it helps

Here is a sample of the Welcome Letter I send out. For CSAs "I am your Co-Sponsor and Team Leader." My PSA and CSA Greeting is much shorter; yet effective.

Dear Name,

Welcome my friend and team member to Strong Future International (SFI) and our online e-store TripleClicks. My name is XXXXXX XXXXXXXX, and I am your SFI Sponsor and Team Leader.

If you need translation service go here: https://translate.google.com/

First I would like you to know I joined SFI on XXXXXXX X, 2013. I didn't waste any time - immediately I went to work and have not looked back. You can accomplish much in SFI if you apply yourself.

You see, the more VersaPoints (VP) you earn, the more money you earn. You accumulate Sales VP (for sales and purchases at TripleClicks) and Action VP (for completing daily, weekly and monthly tasks at SFI).

I'm looking for Personally Sponsored Affiliates (PSAs) and Co-Sponsored Affiliates (CSAs) who, are go-getters, that take SFI serious and want to become Team Leaders - PSA Superstars. I like to think of SFI as though it were like a vehicle: if you don't drive it while you have it, it won’t take you anywhere.

You can now Fast Track your success in SFI with our new Fast-Track 2.0 Membership. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity. For details and how to qualify visit https://www.sfimg.com/FT or search "Fast-Track" atop your Affiliate Center Homepage for even more details.

You will also want to learn about the E365 Championship Contest, its rewards and the importance of staying above the green line until you reach Round Six. Once you have reached Round Six you become an E365 Finalist. Round Six comes up in just five weeks and staying above the green line is like having the wind in your sails. I did it, ask me how! https://www.sfimg.com/E365?tab=info_and_rules

Every year 500,000 people become SFI affiliates. But only 365 achieve the title of E365 Champion.

Please visit my Leadership Page which I have prepared for my team. Just click open each tab and begin reading. Don’t forget to visit it regularly for updates: https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/Leadership?preview=true&id=XXXXXXXX

Your main focus over the next 30 days should be on completing the lessons and tasks found on your ‘To-Do List’. Don’t overlook these. Not only will they teach you how SFI works, they will also earn you those valuable VersaPoints! Daily log in is *key*.

Don't become overwhelmed with all the information. Just take things in steps and stay focused on the task at hand. Before you know it, it will all be suddenly very familiar to you. Build on the Basics and don't give up! https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics

Visit my website at XXXXXXXXXX/ Once there be sure to open "Getting Started with SFI"

SFI provides many language translations for its websites: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=17856&referrer=search
