I wish I could contribute a better answer to your question. I have a sponsor who only communicated with me once only when I first joined SFI 6 months ago. I had never heard from my first co-sponsor and then I was re-assigned to a new co-sponsor who only congratulated me for being an EA once only. Since then nothing. Every month I try to get in touch with my sponsor but never get any response.
This has forced me to work my way around SFI doing a lot of reading everyday and applying what I learned. I joined the SFI newsletter where I get my weekly and monthly information on what is happening around SFI. I try my best to visit the Forum where I learn a lot from Affiliates of all ranks and different countries.Often I have seen someone in the forum raving on about how good their sponsor is. They are the lucky ones. This you can only wish for. I use a2a friends for assistance occasionally or use ASK SC.
It’s everyone’s dream to have a good sponsor/co-sponsor because they are supposed to guide you and give you moral support in your progressive journey in SFI. They are supposed to show you what works and what does not work to increase your earnings in SFI. You are supposed to duplicate what they do to succeed in SFI.
Other than that you are on your own. If you recognize the potential earning you can get from SFI you will forged your way up making use of the many free resources SFI makes available to SFI Affiliates. Unfortunately with this sad situation those Sponsors /co sponsors benefit from your personal hard-work.
All the best and God bless you.

Although SFI has a sound system that provide you where-with-all to advance and succeed in your business but having said that we are humans and appreciate human touch in our endeavors what ever they may be? Timely advice, a motivational tip, an honest guidance can take you a long way.

This is where the importance of a good sponsor and co-sponsor comes.

1. They are your guides who can be looked forward for help in times of taking important decisions pertaining to your business and also to get your queries resolved and understand SFI better.

2. They have come of age and can guide you practically with many of the issues you may come across.

3. Duplication is another key aspect towards success and their work can be emulated to be successful yourself.

4. They can assess your work and provide you the right direction.

In short they play a role of a parent or a teacher to help you succeed. They are your real mentors at work.

Having a good sponsor or co-sponsor is one of the most important thing here . Cause SFI has many informations to learn in short term after sign up.

-For example,When I signed up here, I tried to read the articles but after a while I overwhelmed cause all the things can not be learnt in a short while. A new affiliate needs time for that. I have a real good sponsor and I asked here the things that I most wondered. And my sponsor provided me the short and clear answers to understand. Afterwards,I keep on reading the articles with times to learn.

-Some affilities do not have a sponsor who cares with the affilities, for that there are co-sponsors as well here. They can contact with their co-sponsor and have help.

- ?n my opinion, having help from different persons is quite beneficial. I try to ask to my sponsor and also my co-sponsor what I want to learn. Because they are different persons and each of them may use different ways to grow their business. This means different ideas from different persons. I hope this helps. :)

Hello Oliver!

I think it is an advantage to have a good sponsor and co-sponsor, but it is not a must-have for anyone who is determined to succeed.

In my opinion, having a good sponsor and/or co-sponsor is mostly important in the beginning, when the affiliate has just joined SFI and is being confused, not knowing what to do or where to start. This is where good guidance has the biggest importance. However, if for any reason the affiliate cannot establish contact with their sponsor/co-sponsor they should try to contact other members of their upline. You can find your upline members by visiting this link: https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/upline

Other than seeking support from your upline, you can also visit the Forum and find what you are looking for by browsing Categories and Threads. If you cannot find what you are searching for you can always start your own thread and other SFI affiliates will do their best to help you. You can even post a question to SFI Founder and President, Mr Gery Carson by starting a thread in the "Ask Gery" category in the Forum. If you are not very comfortable with using English, you can also browse posts, or post your own question using your mother tongue in Your country and/or Your region category, also located in the Forum.

Another enormous knowledge database is also right here, in the ASK SC. Browse the questions asked by other affiliates and see the top rated answers. You can also bookmark the answers you particularly like or see as useful, so you can find them and review them easily later. If you can't find the question you need an answer too, you can post it here and have other affiliates answer it.

If it still doesn't feel enough to replace the support of a sponsor/co-sponsor you can also find tons of useful information by visiting Training Center: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/
and checking and reading all the valuable resources we have there.

So, my point is that is nice to have a good sponsor and co-sponsor. It can be very useful for your business and help you advance faster. But it is not such a big deal if you don't have a support from your sponsor or co-sponsor. You can be very successful even without that support. SFI has provided us with so many sources of information and so many learning materials, that the only things you need to succeed are your own will and determination. It might be harder to go forward without a sponsor and your progress might be slower, but eventually you might realize that you have gone farther than many affiliates that had all the support and help from their sponsor or co-sponsor. Having a good sponsor/co-sponsor is not a guarantee for success, just like not having them is not a guarantee you will fail. Your sponsor's and co-sponsor's attitude towards you and their business does matter and does make a difference, but what matters the most is your own attitude. Stay focused, stay determined, work hard and be persistent. If your sponsor and co-sponsor are not there to appreciate that, it's their own loss.

Hope this answer is helpful. Best regards.

It is indeed important to have a good sponsor and a co-sponsor:

• Like me, I am immediately contacted by my sponsor the moment I emailed her.
• It is very important to let the new affiliate to focus on the basics of the new business so that he/she will not be overwhelmed by so many things to do especially when there are lots of links.
• To have a good sponsor is to have guidance for you to set your goal on this new business on line .
• Truly SFI has lunchpad trainings which is important but the role of the sponsor is much needed.
• When SFI chat has been launch, I always have a query with my sponsor who is always available to answer me right away.
• Moreover from the very beginning the sponsor helps you build a trust in SFI that it is a real and authentic internet income knowing internet have so many kinds of offers, mostly are spams.

Your sponsor and co-sponsor are your beginning ,they should help you get on the correct tract ..LEAD.. you in the right direction and answer any questions you might not be able to find on your own, or at least point you to the way you need to go (as mine have done ).But it is always your responsibility to follow thru .This has to be the most important factor for me since coming to SFI. Coming from the food service industry ( a chef by trade) the beginning was a bit overwhelming , there is so much information and knowledge to review , and where to go next?
Thru my sponsor and co-sponsor they pointed me to the path in which to follow and upon completion ;where to go next if I wasn't sure. No they didn't hold me by my hand ,(my hands being on the key board most of the time anyway),but I know they are there for me ,and that has been priceless in moving ahead with my business success.

Hi Oliver,

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

I would say extremely important

When we first became part of the SFI team, first and closest team members are exactly sponsor and co-sponsor, real people with whom we have first contact and who give us support and all the key guidelines for proper start - communicating with them we create an impression about the new work environment and easier to fit into it.

If the sponsor and co-sponsor of the successful and we are even more motivated to succeed.

If you regularly communicate with the sponsor and co-sponsor of the much faster and more easily will overcome ambiguities in the work.

If we are diligent and committed to our activities in the SFI our sponsor and co-sponsor will certainly recognize it, commend and will reward our efforts and for us this is a major boost and schools what should we be to its future members.

Through the work we developing and friendly relationship with our sponsor and co - sponsor (and other team members), which is also another true wealth.

Personally, I have a wonderful sponsors and co-sponsors and really feel happy about it.

Successful leaders create successful leaders, and that is mutual benefit.

For me, I would say, if I did not have the sponsor I have now, maybe, I wouldn't be able to have made it so far.

I have an excellent Sponsor, she guided me, supported me, boosted me with Gift Vouchers, helped me with my standing order, etc. I promised her that I was serious about earning money, but cannot afford it at the moment. I committed myself, to do my best for my sponsor. I log in every day and do all the Free VP points.

I vowed that all my money I make in the first year, to help my downline like my Sponsor helped me. If I see one or 2 people bring their part, in my Downline, do their To do List, I will go all the way helping them and teach them to do the same as I did. My Sponsor taught me to do so and I know, I will be a excellent Sponsor.

I am feeling sorry for people who don't have a Sponsor like mine.

If you don't have a good sponsor and co-sponsor, don't worry about how important it is for you to have one. Just use the Forum, and the ASK SC answers and all the training that SFI provides. If you are smart in your work, you will get there. Do not be resentful. They earn a commission, if they qualify, because they put in the effort or money to introduce you to SFI. Period.

If you do have a good sponsor or co-sponsor, you will soon learn to appreciate him. That is if you are a good affiliate. Do you reply to your sponsor when he writes you? Everytime? Do you rely on him to answer your questions and doubts? Do you do what he tells your? Or do you reinvent the wheel?

A good sponsor will tell you how to do things, what to do, etc. The name of this game is duplication. When you have a good sponsor or co-sponsor you have someone you can duplicate. That makes it much easier for you to train your PSAs and CSAs to duplicate what you do.

A good sponsor can counsel you on the do's and don'ts of your business. He can guide you on your goals.

Both with and without a good sponsor or co-sponsor, it is your duty to become the best sponsor and co-sponsor that you can be. And remember that co-sponsors should not interfere with the relationship of his CSAs with their sponsors.

Sponsor is someone who leads us in this work, and my work and our success in it, in my opinion, depends largely on ourselves. My sponsor is not active for a long time, but I read the forums, blogs and trying to find out what is it that keeps some people in this business for so long.
Believe in yourself and you sponsor no longer required ..
It's nice to have someone who will help in the early days, (sponsor or co-sponsor) help, focus .. but not of crucial importance ..
Succeed can be no sponsor .. because this is our business that depends on us ..
And because this is the most beautiful work ..
It is good when the sponsor that, as a friend, to help you when you may need it, but we have to rely on themselves .. because this is a job in which I was your boss, which is also another of the advantages and the beauty of this job ..
Enjoy the work of SFI .. This is a job that fell in love with the sponsor or not ..
Only if we want ..
I welcome you and I wish you much success ..

You like this job and enjoy it :)
Is not it beautiful to love the work we do? ..
