Hello Ritu, the best way to get your new PSAs up to speed with SFI without overwhelming them is to give them good support from day one; then talk about the benefits ahead of them, if they are committed.

A. General Support:

1. Make your PSAs feel welcome to SFI.
2. Let your PSAs know that they will never walk alone; team spirit is strong in SFI.
3. Let them know you are willing to help them grow after joining SFI.
4. Teach them on how to access, read and apply

You want your PSA's to speed up, start purchasing, sponsoring and acquiring VersaPoints to become an EA in their first month.

What you don't want is that they quit.

Becoming overwhelmed can surely lead to quitting.

I found navigating around SFI and TripleClicks to be time consuming and confusing as a new affiliate. You want your PSA's to keep up the momentum and one way is to make navigating easy and uncomplicated. You want them to get to know their way around,

I would help my PSA's on SFI without making them feel overwhelmed by

1. Encourage them to push for fast track status as this makes things a lot easier for them.

2. Ensure they go through SFI basis and Launchpad lessons.

3. Ensure they from time to time go back and revisit the LaunchPad lessons.

4. Encourage them to do their daily, weekly and monthly tasks

5. Help them build a team. Teach them the importance of joining or forming a co-ops.

Thanks for this question.

The moment you see a notification about a new PSA you should just send a " Welcome E-Card" with a brief about yourself.

This is the First step.

Follow it up, with a Mail detailing the:

1. Importance of Visiting: START/BASICS/LAUNCHPAD
2. Significance of becoming a Fast Track Member;
3. Performing the Getting Started Actions, especially the ones with a FLIGHT Mark.
4. The need to gather the minimum 1500

The Affiliate Center can be overwhelming for some people and to get your new PSAs up to speed will do just that- overwhelm them.

It will be a huge challenge to get new PSAs to speed up with SFI. There are many factors that will affect each PSA’s understanding of SFI and how it works. So take it baby step by baby step.

At the beginning, a friendly advice to just click the blue "SFI BASICS" button on their homepage will be helpful. Being new, your PSAs will be feeling

First, you should encourage them to not try to do everything at once. The Launchpad was set up to help new members do things one day at a time. But even the Launchpad can get confusing if new members click on every link in the lessons.

So I encourage new PSAs to not click on all of the links; just read and understand that day's lesson and then do the tasks on the To-Do List tabs.

Too many people want to come in to the Affiliate Center and just start clicking, thinking they

Nice question
I would like to share my experiences and hope it works.

How i would help my PSAs on SFI without making them feel overwhelmed is by

1. Welcoming them to the team via team mail and telling them the importance of joining SFI.

2. Encourage them to go through SFI basis and Launchpad lessons.

3. Tell them to go through the launchpad lessons thoroughly and not just to earn the versa points attached to it.

4. Encourage them to go to

The best way to work with the new PSAs to help them speed in SFI without upsetting them is to make them feel that you are there only for help.

You should certainly not make them feel obligated, but just guide them gently.

Take care of them so that they can trust you.

Explain them as simply as possible the best ways to advance in SFI. Send them to links showing all the benefits of being an EA, BTL and so on.

Many affiliates don't like or do not have the

Dear Ritu;

We certainly do want to bring our affiliates up to speed in SFI but you're correct in suggesting we don't want to overwhelm them either. I believe I have just the right advice for you.

The salient thing to remember here is that participation in SFI is Looooong Terrrrrrrrrrrm. You don't have to build Rome in a day. Start with one thing and then move on to the next. You should be the one that puts the brakes on if your PSA seems to be getting stressed about the

During the very first month, new PSAs may be guided well so that they always keep themselves above the green line. They may go through the instructions of SFI to take action daily. If they follow the instructions, it would be very easy to be an Executive Affiliate during initial stage. All the benefits which they may get if they maintain their status in the ensuing months should be elaborated from time to time. PSAs may be communicated with every sort of communication available here. No communication
