It depends upon what kind of reason for your contact.

When using the PSA Mailer, all of your PSAs will receive an e-mail in their personal e-mail box, along with receiving one in their SFI mailbox.

If you are contacting only a couple of your PSAs for a specific reason, such as, one on one assistance, than use their personal e-mail address, for this will make it a little more helpful and personable, for your PSAs.

If you are contacting a couple of your PSAs for some sort of recognition, or to share a tip, then use the E-Cards, for this is more personable, and you are also acknowledging and encouraging for your PSAs.

All of our PSAs are working at a different level in their business, some are new, some are struggling and some are getting experienced, and don't need too much guidance anymore.

So, it depends upon what kind of reason for your contact to your PSA's, as to what type of method to use.

Hope this helps.

This is a very good question. I think both methods are just as good and no one is any better. Each way to communicate has its own value.

First, if you want to communicate with many affiliates at one time, use the PSA Mailer. If affiliates have a good email address, the message will go to their regular inbox and to the SFI email Inbox as well. On the other hand, if you have a more personal message to send, Use the person's email address. Also, if you are in your regular email inbox, reading your emails, and you find you have an affiliate writing to you directly, respond immediately through your own email service. This is much faster than going to the PSA mailer and sending a reply. If, however, you see a message at your affiliate mailer inbox, respond immediately through SFI's Affiliate Mailer. That is much faster than writing a message through your regular inbox.

Here's another point: If you are in the Movers' area and you find that an affiliate has reached a new level, say, EA or a Team Leader level, congratulate him by whichever method you choose. If you use Microsoft Outlook, you can just click on the person's email address and send the message, or you can send a messatge through the Affiliate Mailer or send a gift card. If, however, you think the affiliate does not receive emails from one source, use the other source; or you could use both sources, just to be on the safe side.

Both ways of contacting PSA's are each better for a particular use. You have to decide which you should employ in whatever specific situation that arises.

For example;

If you're seeking to establish or re-establish contact with a PSA that has not been active for awhile, then you should send directly to their email address. The PSA would only see the messages in SFI if and when they logged into SFI but they're not doing currently it.

Conversely, you would likely want to use a power tool like the PSA mailer when you wanted to broadcast an inspirational message or some team specific news. Plus you also get some Vpoints for doing that very thing weekly).

Each way is best for it's own particular uses

I hope this has cleared things up for you.

First is to understand how PSA Mailer and individual email systems work. Secondly, What is your objective to use both and intended results you expect to achieve. Thirdly, different situations need different treatment based on case by case basis. There are limitations to both of them.

Preferably, I use PSA mailer to contact a group of PSAs using a customized letters/emails
readily prepared by SFI. Generally, this is used in the welcoming letters, telling PSAs to do the necessary tasks to complete registration and expectation of SFI. Using SFI platform, PSA Mailer will direct the emails safely to the Affiliates' website.Outgoing mails can be tracked by SFI and acknowledging that the group mails have been sent. There is less chance that the mails will go to SPAM unless the receivers treat as SPAM.

PSAs' email addresses have been filtered by SFI and most likely that these email addresses are valid. PSAs must whitelist SFI mails to ensure that they will receive emails from SFI unless PSAs have cancelled off their account or opted out from SFI.

It is a most convenient way to send letter in bulks to save time and effort. Using the same platform and customized letters you can these mails to hundreds of PSAs in seconds or minutes as compared sending individual emails to hundreds of PSAs which might take hours to send one by one. Individual email is used in a particular case only. For selective group members, you can build up a list in excel format to send as group mailer.

I think that both ways are good. Just, they are for different use, in my oppinion.

I'm using PSA Mailer only for general information, like to remind them to do some actions, or to inform them of something that I am working on. Also, for PSA Mailer you get weekly VersaPoints so it is good tool for your success.

In other side, contact your PSAs via their e-mail address always when you want to tell something exactly to that member. All off PSAs are not the same, and all off them have different needs, so direct mailing is much better aproach to each of them than PSA Mailer. I believe that direct mailing is more personal, much more worm than PSA Mailer, and it gives some kind of confidence to our PSAs so they can relax, and be more active on SFI. If you are kind and helpful to them, they will pay you back with their labour. You can achieve that only with direct contact via e-mail.

That's my tought. I hope that it was helpful. :-)

Do BOTH Rania but, ensure that you have something important or helpful to say. It is not a good idea to send a PSA email just to get the Action VP (AVP). If you show you are interested in your PSA and communicating with them you are going to have more success.

Also, be aware that if you send a message through the internal SFI Message System your PSA is not going to see it unless they sign in to their SFI account. Sending an email directly to them or through the PSA Mailer will still get there whether they have signed in or not.

Happy to help :-)

Hi Rania,

Since your success is dependent upon your PSAs to a great extent, and their expectation from you would also be higher than your CSAs, because they are personally known to you, it becomes all the more important that your channel of communication is the best and fool proof.

I would recommend that you use both the channels, i.e. you should contact your PSAs through SFI PSA Mailer, as well as, their personal email addresses for the simple reason that whenever they are not checking their personal mails or their email IDs are not good, at least they would receive the mails from SFI PSA Mailer and our messages will reach them, making them feel your concern for their success. After all, we are successful only when our team is successful.

Question:
"Which is better and why...to contact my PSAs through SFI (e.g. PSA Mailer) or directly via their email address?"

This is a great question.

From my own experience both are very much important. Preferring the SFI Group Mailers it has also been necessary to connect directly via an Affiliates email address because of technical issues.

If you have already set up Microsoft Word properly, this can also be resourceful. I have found this to become an issue from time to time and had to send email from my own email account.

If the provisions for SFI are functioning properly use them as a preference. If you are reaching out casually to an Affiliate other than SFI business, it is advised to go directly to their personal email address. Just do not use the privilege to promote other links to your Affiliates unless they are strictly SFI or TripleClicks related.

I find it more convenient to use my own personal email address for conversations that are casual and also if an Affiliate communication is private in some situations. Mostly use my personal email address when communicating with those outside my immediate team, but please do not ever promote anything other than SFI or TripleClicks when practicing this privilege. It is not worth having your account suspended.

Thank you for allowing me to share.

I think, your question should have been “which is better and why...to contact my PSAs through SFI (e.g. PSA Mailer) or directly via my email address?”

There are advantages and disadvantages for both the platform, depending on a given case.
To make it clear, let us list the advantages and disadvantages of both:


Advantages of using SFI platform:

Using this platform, we can send messages to multiple PSAs (when number of PSAs is at least more than one) just by single click on ‘SEND’ button saving your bulk amount of time (of course, also effort) in the process of formatting the one complete individual message.
Same message you can send to all of your PSAs and CSAs (or to selected PSAs and CSAs – selection by different parameters) in one click.


Disadvantages of using SFI platform:

If these PSAs are PSAs in proper sense (i.e. if you know them personally and they joined SFI not through your advertised link), then the personal touch in the messages will be missing which makes stronger bond with most of your PSAs.
Of course, you can sub-classify your PSAs into proper and joined through other channels by using different KCs and use SFI platform for those PSAs coming from other sources/channels.
Major disadvantages of this platform is that each individual of your PSAs will be intimated, by a foot note at the bottom of the message, that actually the message has been sent to him/her by SFI on behalf of you.


Advantages of using your own email ID:

Each individual of your PSAs will have the feeling of personal touch of yours. Moreover, you can add/change the body and or salutation of your messages to each PSA, keeping the main body of your message same for all (or you can change here and there, if you feel, for a particular PSA).


Disadvantages of using your own email ID:

In spite of having the advantage of creating top-notch quality message for each individual PSA, in every respect it is time consuming and laborious and over and above it consumes GB which is limited for most email service providers.
