Give due respect to the Sponsors of CSAs if they are active themselves, who are in front leading and guiding their CSAs while the co-sponsors are there to assist these sponsors. As for me, I would rather send out emails through CSA mailer once a month and group mailer (newsletter)once or twice a month depending on the general needs of my affiliates.

To avoid CSAs being overloaded with information and to reduce differences in opinion and suggestion, thus creating confusion and misunderstanding among the 3 parties- the cosponsors, the sponsors and CSAs, I rather give more privileges to their sponsors. I act as a back-up and not to overtake the sponsors. Preferably, I would rather spend more time with my PSAs, even though my CSAs also contribute some income to me.

How to contact them? SFI provides numerous methods and by all means use these methods to reach them. Not all the methods are effective, based on responses, but as long as the messages are sent and acknowledged being sent by SFI, I feel that is adequate to keep in touch. They may have received but either they don't want to reply or they cannot understand because of language problem. One way you can tell that they have responded is in the MOVERS.

Use CSA mailer, group mailer, chat, IM, notes, individual emails, Forum, Stream, Facebook, Twitter, blogs(Wordpress), e-cards and telephone.

Good day Danijela,

In my own opinion, I recommend 3 times a week. One on Sunday, then on Wednesday and finally Saturday.

Why 3 times weekly its because our CSA'S are equally important as our PSA'S. Some people might say they contribute little or nothing to their business. But based on my experience, little drops make mighty ocean. Its even better to get 10 active CSAs than having 5 inactive PSAs who just log in occasionally, someimes or never.

The same way we treat our PSAs, ulmost importance should also be given to our CSAs by:-

1. Sending a welcome mail (especially for new CSAs being assigmed to you). 2. Praise your hard working CSAs for the tremendous effort they make in their business.
3. Encourage them so as they dont give up. Keep fanning the flame.
4. Give them tips on how to be successful
5. Let them know that tripleclicks is their online shop where they can list their unwanted goods for sale (for as low as 1 t credits)
6. Always respond to questions they may have (shows you are a good co sponsor).
7. Show concern and empathy so they know you are always there for them.

In summary, work with the workers.

Ways you can communicate with your CSAs is as follows:-
1. We can communicate with them via their registered email address
2. Call them if they have dropped their phone numbers.
3. Send them ecards directly via our Genealogyy.
4. We can do skypee with them based on time agreed by both parties concerned.
5. We can do viber calls., whatsapp or other social media for communication 6. Send them team mails.
7. Since they are our CSAs, we can send them mails via the CSAs mailer if its just our Csas we want to communicate with.
8. We can use the SFIchat if our CSAs are logged on on their SFI homepage and currently online.

Hope I was able to help.

See you at the top.

Many affiliates pay considerably more attention to their PSAs and in my view look after/support them a lot more than their CSAs. I have more CSAs than PSAs and if I had a surge of active CSAs, my commissions would also hike up. Therefore, these are some of the tactics I employ to keep in regular touch with my CSAs which again, I categorize them.

1. I have those CSAs that are active in my team and appear in my Movers list so I can keep a regular check on their progress and try to leave them alone because I know they are making an effort to consistently log in. I however, drop in a casual "thank you, congrats, need any help" E Cards to them to let them know that I am not taking them for granted.

2. I have a second group of CSAs who have been in my team for a long time and they are as good as active and this is where my focus is on:

- I write on the stream, just for CSAs giving them encouragement and letting them know that although it is not easy to run a business, we are all working with a team and that makes supporting each other, motivating.

- I use the Team Mail, not always every week, perhaps twice in a month to send them information about what is new in SFI and if they have not yet tried out the program, they should check it out.

- I also provide my contact details on skype, email and telephone contact in case they wish to have a one-one chat outside SFI, they know I am available.

This helps a lot because I notice that when a telephone number is present, the CSAs and other PSAs also see that this is a real person they are talking to. This holds true for new members who join and are still unsure about SFI.

This would take care of all the CSAs and ensure that I have taken responsibility to guide them in the best possible way I can. I would not be able to do more than provide a contact telephone number - this tells them that I am serious in what I am doing. People do not always give out personal contacts easily.

CSA contact is as important as contact with PSA's.

I would suggest contact with CSA's should be done at the same time as you communicate with your PSA's. Include CSA's when you make a post to your Stream tab or include them when you create a Team Mail.

Communicate with everyone as each CSA will have an interest in what you are doing, how you tlhink about SFI and how you personally have grown your SFI business so that they may either duplicate what you do or enhance what you do.

As taught in our Launch Pad Lesson about a fellow Affiliate - he built his down line primarily by focusing efforts to support CSA's and he was successful with his SFI business.

Everyone has a role and in order for everyone to be successful - communicate at any time with them. Communication is not a one way affair but is a professional dance with down line members. Some days CSA's will connect with you first before you do and visa versa.

There are no hard and fast rules but always important to take the time to consider what and how type of communication will work for your CSA's best by asking them too.

Hello Danijela Spain, I'm going to first ask a simple question before I answer your question.
The question goes thus: As a CSA (which we all are) how often would you want your Co-Sponsor to have contact with you?
I'm pretty sure your answer would be: As often as possible or more often than he (your Co-Sponsor) is probably doing now.

Have contact with your CSA as you would your PSA and as soon and/or often as possible, as often as you can and should.
Create time for them, check on their progress regularly. Not only checking on their progress but also suggest to them and teach them how to grow daily. Provide them with whatever help they need when they need it.

To answer the second part of your question I'd say contact them with and by every means possible. Email, phone calls, social media chats and the likes. If you live in the same city and town you can also try face to face meetings.

Personally, I rarely distinguish between my PSAs and CSAs. That means I communicate with CSAs almost exactly the same way as I do with PSAs.

Therefore I:

- send them my Welcome message, the same one I send to my PSAs, letting them know I am their co-sponsor and therefore an additional source of help and advice for them. I list the Getting Started actions they need to do, and direct them to Start, SFI Basics and Launchpad.
The only difference here is, while I send PSAs individual ecards as they arrive, I send a TeamMail to all CSAs together, simply because they tend to arrive in bulk and I don't have time to send individual ecards to 80 or more CSAs

- send my newsletters to entire genealogy, PSAs, CSAs and all downline, because I feel it could be of equal benefit to all, and I don't know what guidance they are receiving from their own sponsors

- let CSAs know that if they need help or advice at any time, I am available by email - I am equally accessible to CSAs as I am to PSAs

- acknowledge them in Stream posts equal to my PSAs e.g. when they achieve EA, when they win in Daily Grand etc.

The only thing I do tend to favour my PSAs with is inclusion into any co-ops I operate, as commissions from my PSAs are contributing more to my income and therefore enable me to do that, however I hope in time, as my income grows, to be able to extend more of those direct benefits to CSAs also.

It really takes very little, or no, extra effort to help your CSAs just as much as any of your team, and the benefits in time will outweigh that effort.

I don't make a distinction between my PSAs and CSAs when it comes to support. I support them equally. Why? CSAs are often time more receptive to you because they don't think that you are trying to just sell them something like PSAs. Everyone realizes 45% on the commission volume for PSAs but only 15% for CSAs. So when you take the time to support them even though you only get 1/3 the commission they get that you really want to help otherwise; you can just support your PSAs right?

When it comes to support, I tell my CSAs to do the same things that I tell my CSAs. I want every to succeed in this so I don't have secrets. If it works for me then it will work for them. Yet, not everyone will take your advice. So be aware of the level of desire in your affiliates. If they reach out to you respond in 24 to 48 hours. Your team dictates how you contact them and how often. Be flexible and available. Not everyone has skype or uses chat. Some prefer the phone and others email. Whatever works and keeps the line of communication open is what you should use.

First of all we contact them as soon as we are asigned as their co-sponsor. We should invite and encourage them to contact us if they need assistance in getting started or if they have any query.

Personally i contact them on weekly basis as all my CSAs are inactive and they have never responded to any mails i sent them, so to me it is like a routine. I send them one email every week in the hope that one day they will become active.

For Active CSAs we can send encouraging mails or tips and give them assistance whenever they request as in this way we wont be overloading them as of course their sponsor might be contacting them as well.

Hi Danijela, thanks for your keen question.

Well, who knows what your CSAs will be to you in good time?
CSAs- Co-Sponsor Affiliate. This means you're titled Sponsor, bears the roll of Sponsor and is being paid as Sponsor though not the actual and primary Sponsor.
You twain in your roll and responsibility. Your are second runner up to the crown.(Sponsor)
They are in your timeline/downline.

That being said. I believe as people, they expect to be treated with same treatment that you would give your PSAs, with support and concerned assistance as all who wants to learn and succeed.

(a) Therefore, you offer your assistance to them.

(b) Letting them know you are in support of them.

(c) Help them with solutions if necessary.

Though not primary Sponsor, you have been given a roll to stand in the gap.
They also help you in your team building efforts gathering a strong team.(numbers/work force)

Treat both PSAs and CSAs as equal allowing your Awesome Sponsor technique to shine through.
Contacting them as often as you deem necessary in helping to build their business without overwhelming them. Minimum communication once a week newsletters etc...

You never know they maybe your goldmine. possible?
hope this helps. have a splendid day!
