The role of sponsor and co-sponsor in SFI is that of tutor, mentor or coach, which can be very important in your growth. If you do not have a good sponsor or co-sponsor there are many ways that you can still move ahead!
The Forum, ASKSC and your own up-line are great tools for meeting the person who will be your mentor and do not forget A2A... finding someone who is active and speaks your language and English well can make a huge difference to the amount of time and personal effort that you must put in, but!...
It will always depend on you! your own effort, willingness to learn, the time and money you are ready to invest and your own desire to succeed will be the ultimate deciding factors on how successful this venture (or any other venture for that matter) will be for you!
Good luck and all the best in the future!

Oliver;

I suspect you'll get a number of differing answers to this poignant question. Here is my take on the question of Sponsorship and Co-Sponsorship. People throughout SFI keep talking about 'duplication' but from my perspective the only 'duplication' that will happen is downstream from me. My sponsor has been almost totally absentee. She doesn't even put anything into stream post, I haven't gotten any; feedback, incentives, rewards, congratulations, advice, or anything else. The only reason I don't mark her down to zero is I'm too softhearted - or because I'm a go it on my own person and luckily so in this case.

I'm not really complaining here because I think that if your sponsor is not a comet whose tail you can grab for an easy ride up, you will have to eventually exceed your sponsor to succeed on your own merits.

I suspect that there are more poor sponsors than there are good ones - yet people like me are still succeeding somehow. (my case is bull-headed determination) So I have to believe that having a good sponsor is nice but not critical.

My Co-Sponsor is only recent for me as I suppose I got reassigned. He posts in the stream but it's mostly inspirational in nature. The co-sponsor doesn't have nearly the same vested interest in CSA's as in PSA's I think. So if you get a really helpful one it's a bonus.

I say you should plan on doing it mostly on your own. Then if you don't get lucky in the Sponsor & Co-Sponsorships t won't be demoralizing.

Thanks for this question.

It all depends on:

1. How active your Sponsor & Co-Sponsors are;
2. Performance & achievement levels of your Sponsor & Co-Sponsors;
3. The knowledge base of your Sponsor & Co-Sponsor, based on their experience;
4. Their communication strength (Speed, accuracy, correct & concrete guidance, etc) with which
they respond;
5. The level of your rapport/communication/co-ordination & seeking spirit

Your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor may fulfill all the above requirements (1 to 4); But if you fail to be active or irregular or do not communicate with them due to one reason or the other (Like language barrier, etc) their remaining good will not be of any help to you.

A Good Sponsor & Co-Sponsor should always:

1. Remain in touch with their down line constantly;
2. Should not communicate weekly just to gather some Action VersaPoints to meet their
VP requirement;
3. Should Motivate their Team Members through their impressive performance;
4. Should inspire them by transferring possible TCredits, offering incentives through Gift
Certificates, etc;
5. Help them build their own team by:

- Reassigning active PSAs;
- Include them in their Co-Ops;

6. Guide them to take part in Pricebenders Auction, EZ Games, etc
7. Finally, suggesting ways and means by which expenses can be kept at minimum (to meet the
VP requirements) & earnings can be maximized.

Conclusion:

If you are genuine in your attempts in having a fruitful relationship with your Sponsor and or Co-Sponsor and if it is not reciprocated you can always visit the Forum where you will find umpteen numbers of hands waiting to hold you and guide you towards growth, success, win and joy with all their hearts.

Here at SFI we call good sponsor/co-sponsor as awesome sponsor. Someone who is always there to help their affiliates. They can help because they are knowledgeable both in theories and in practice.

Good sponsor and co-sponsor are very important specially if you are just starting. There are so many aspects of SFI that we need to learn and understand to be successful.

Some affiliates find them overwhelming. In fact one of the reasons why many affiliates quit SFI is because they found it confusing.

Let me enumerate where you will need a good sponsor and co-sponsor. Note that sponsor and co-sponsor has the same responsibility to their affiliates (PSA and CSA respectively) but most of the the time we go to our sponsor first.

1. We need a sponsor who can simplify things for us. We need them to show us the connection between SFI and TripleClicks websites.

2. We need our sponsor/co-sponsor to go through every task in the TO-DO list, we need their guidance on how to accomplish things that we are not familiar. We need them to guide us on how to earn VP and what is the importance of VP.

3. We need them most on teaching us how to find affiliates both online and offline. We need them to teach us how to do internet marketing. Because our rise in fall here at SFI depend largely of whether we can get affiliates or not.

4. We need them to teach us how to sell items from TripleClicks.

5. We need them most to teach us duplication. This is how our SFI business explode as we learn how to teach our affiliates to copy what we are doing.

6. We also need them to help us with some difficulties and bottlenecks as we progress.

7. We need them too to teach us some strategies like winning at Pricebenders.

8. Most of all we need them to be our friend who can journey with us to build our SFI business.

Extremely Important!! Although SFI provides a wealth of information and training on all aspects of SFI, your main help should always come from your Personal or Co Sponsor, because that is all part of being an Awesome Sponsor. As each affiliate grows their team, they are slowly building their knowledge of SFI as well, and they should always impart this knowledge to their down-lines. This increases your down-lines knowledge and will therefore increase your commissions, so is a win-win situation for all concerned.

So if you are going to build a team, then as a Sponsor or Co Sponsor you also need to be prepared to teach and guide your team members, don't build teams if you are not prepared to do this, because you are simply wasting new affiliates time by offering no help.

A good Sponsor or Co Sponsor will go out of their way to learn as much about SFI as possible, and pass this on to their team, and if you have one of these 'Awesome Sponsors' you will do very well with your new SFI business.

Good luck

Honestly, it comes down to your own personal belief system.

To me, it is not important at all. SFI provides all the training you need to learn how to start building your own business using the tools available here at the affiliate centre.

The forum is also available to any affiliate to ask any question they want, and get way more answers from a lot more people than just one sponsor or co-sponsor.

I had no interaction with my sponsor for years. If I had let that be my determining factor in whether or not I could become successful, I would not be here today.

Having a good sponsor or co-sponsor would be great; it would be awesome; it might be very helpful.

But is it important? Not really. What is important is how motivated are you to become successful in SFI. Take a long look in the mirror. Who do you see? Just you. Not your sponsor, nor your co-sponsor. You are the important one.

It is very important to have a good sponsor and a co-sponsor at the beginning of our SFI journey. Although we hear so often that we don't need sponsor and co-sponsor to succeed in SFI, yet there is no denying the fact that they play a very significant and important role in our quest for success.

Most of us joined without any clue as to what SFI is and how it works. We need not only a good sponsor and co-sponsor, but caring ones who understand how it is to be so naive, so trusting, and so inexperienced in internet marketing to be there to hold our hands, to lead us, to enlighten us, to inform us, to educate us, and to inspire and motivate us as we find our way around our SFI Affiliate Homepage.

We know now that in order to succeed in SFI, everything we do to grow and develop our SFI business depends solely on our ability, hard work and determination to succeed. We make it happen, no one else.

But if we happen to have a good sponsor and a co-sponsor, it makes our journey to the top much easier, easily achievable and more enjoyable as the relationship we develop with them can have a long lasting impact on our business and our personal life.

When we look at it, SFI is really a relationship business. When we welcome our new PSAs we open not only the lines of communication but open our hearts to them as well for friendship and trust to start a good working relationship will with them.

It is an added bonus to have a caring, nurturing, supportive and responsive sponsor and co-sponsor who are there for us, who are willing to go the extra mile to will help us develop and mature into an effective leaders like them.

Hi; great question.

This is like a double edged sword; one side it is nice to have a good sponsor & co-sponsor to answer questions, to inspire, motivate and be a mentor but; on the other side it is up to you to take the steps to success.

Like myself I have great sponsor & co-sponsor but I only contact them when I have a big issue, other wise I figure it out on my own because its my business, the answers are here, I need to roll with the punches, take responsibility, learn and grow.

So on how important a sponsor/ co-sponsor is on a scale from 1 to 10, I would have to say 5.
and depending on how skilled and motivated a person is with business would determine on what kind of help they would need.

Have a great day with much success.

Question:
"How important is it to have a good sponsor and co-sponsor?"

Great question!

I'm lucky to have the privilege to experience both.

What is most important is you. Do you have what it takes? Are you willing to put forth the necessary effort to become successful with SFI?

As I ponder this question it is impossible to come to a good answer without first focusing on myself. No matter how great our sponsors are, we will only achieve what we are willing to put forth in effort.

Many sponsors have suggested it only takes 30 minutes a day to complete the Daily Actions, and point out how to collect VP's and so on. It goes well beyond these two factors.

No matter how great a sponsor or co-sponsor is, we as individuals will determine for ourselves we have or do not have what it takes.

Yes, encouragement from our upline is also great support, and will help us achieve more, but what about when we have to decide for ourselves?

How many hours will I devote to this business? Can a sponsor or co-sponsor make this decision?

Am I willing to devote 4 - 8 hours a day to become successful with this business? Will my sponsor or co-sponsor decide this for me?

It does help to have support from someone who has experienced the ropes, and also have several years of sponsoring under their belt, but what if you have a sponsor who lacks this experience?

I must admit I was somewhat overwhelmed at first, and made several mistakes on my own trying to go it alone due to a glitch in my personal email. My sponsor finally caught up with me, and asked why I was not duplicating any of her messages to me.

I asked her why she was not responding to any of my email, and we figured out it was not us it was an email issue. Once this was clear we communicated regularly, and this did help me improve much more quickly as she had much more experience.

What is most important is follow through on our own, and following up with a response to each message we receive, but if we are less fortunate, and have to go it alone, it is not impossible because there are built in support mechanisms which will steer us in the right direction, such as ASK SC, and the SFI Forum. Of course we also have 24/7 support.

There is no reason we can not seek success and find it even if we have sponsors and co-sponsors who struggle like we do. In some cases we will also experience inactive sponsors and co-sponsors.

If we are determined, we will continue on toward success with without them.

Thank you for allowing me to share!
