The frequency and mode to which we should contact our Co-Sponsored Affiliate/s (CSAs), are as follows:

1. During the time of his/her re assignment to a Co-Sponsor - by way of sending a Welcome e-card, with the Co-Sponsor introducing himself/herself as such and that he/she is willing to support and guide the CSA on the SFI activity;

2. On a weekly basis - wherein the Co-Sponsor sends a support message via CSA or Genealogy Group Mailer; and

3. As the need arises - It is the time when the CSA has some inquiries/doubts on what to do with his/her SFI activity.

Hello DENUELA !

Much is being said in the SFI Affiliate Center Forum, AskSC, and a2a about how few newly sponsored affiliates actually get active with their businesses. This is a real problem; based on my own experience, only about 2% of new PSAs will do anything. Many acquire 10 to 100 VP, and then just fade away. Why is this? And what can we, as SFI leaders, do to turn this around?

A s SFI leaders, it is our job to search through our PSAs to find the few we can teach to duplicate our efforts.

The first thing we need to do is to identify the reasons for the high drop out rate. From this SFI Forum thread come these possible drop out causes:

• Failure to log in every day and do the required work.
• Affiliates are constantly looking for something better.
• Affiliates say they do not understand the program.
• When they join SFI they are looking to get rich quick or are broke and need quick income.
• They are inactive because their sponsors do not try to help their team members understand the SFI system, because they do not understand how SFI works themselves.
• Sponsors do not have time to explain SFI to their downline, so there is a communication gap.
• A lot of new affiliates do not have the patience to learn the benefits of SFI.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO KEEP NEW AFFILIATES FROM LOSING INTEREST

• When we say that new affiliates become overwhelmed by the vast SFI knowledge base and related training, we are really saying they are losing interest because of all they are required to do. Because our new PSAs come from all sorts of cultures, different educational backgrounds, and a variety of work experiences ranging from none to 40 or 50 years, we just don't know how they will react to all the information available to the them. This is why we must think of small ways to reduce the stress placed on new affiliates.

• In these next few sections, we will discuss some possible solutions to the problems coming from our Forum analysis above. These solutions are not intended as suggestions for revising the already wonderful way SFI helps new affiliates get off to a good start. The solutions are intended for Team Leaders and other upline members who may be in a position to influence new PSAs and answer their questions.

• Some new affiliates are not interested in studying about SFI or don't want to take more time learning how to run their SFI businesses.

Therefore, we should not contact them daily. We can contact them at the most three times a day. Day’s can be chosen depending upon your own convenience.

Hope it helps
Have a nice day !!

The only difference between a PSA and a CSA is the percentage of commissions that we would receive from their purchases and VP's earned during any given month.

I recommend that you contact your CSA's just as you would your PSA's. I say this because 99% of my commissions come from my CSA's on my team. I have, at any given time, 1 to 4 PSA's logging in periodically to work on their business.

So, in my opinion, your CSA's are just as important as your PSA's. Treat them as such. Provide them timely guidance and praise.

I hope this answers your question.

The frequency of contact depends on the availability of the CSA as well as the established chain of communication that is existing on ground. It may vary from once a week to more than seven times or even on a daily basis.

As to ways of communicating with the CSA, it is advisable to make use of all the available media or means of communication;
If the CSA is from your country call him or her, this will make them feel secure that their co-sponsor is a real person and not just a picture.
Thanks.

First and foremost, you must accept the role that as a Co-Sponsor of your CSAs, you do not earn commission as high as 45% but 15% only! Now just forget that you are their C0-Sponsor and treat them as being on the same level as your PSAs. If you can 'wake' up 10 CSAs to earn 2,000 VPs = 20,000 VPs and you earn 15%, that's 20,000 x 0.15 = 3,000 VPs rather than 2 PSA earning 4,000 Vps x 0.45% = 1,800 VPs! Is is my opinion that it is easier to 'work' on CSAs as they have been longer in SFI much longer period of time than PSAs who just joined SFI a few days to a week in SFI, so you can ask yourself is not easier to 'revive' CSAs who already earned some VPs already and for some personal reasons stopped doing the business? Thank you for reading my answer & hope that it helps you but no matter what I treat my CSAs like they are my PSAs as I do not show any discrimination against even though SFI pays us less, they get equal treatment as my PSAs.

Hi Danijela,

I send a CSA Mailer with tips once a week to all of my CSAs and always let them know they can count on me if they have any questions or doubts. I also include them in all of my Stream posts.

I find that this is usually more than enough because they also receive weekly messages from SFI and hopefully from their sponsors too, so I do not want them to feel overwhelmed or too pressured.

I also send an e-card or a chat message whenever they achieve rank or win a Daily Grand prize or just to cheer them on when I see they are working hard.

My CSAs are just as important to me as my PSAs, so I treat them exactly the same.

CSAs are members of your team. Treat them the same as your PSAs.

I know that its natural to focus on your PSAs because they are the ones you recruited and if they do well your rewards are greater than what you would receive if your CSAs do well.

If your team is something similar to mine, there are always more CSAs and most of them are second home CSAs. Some of them are team leaders and there are others who are not team leaders but active in TripleClicks. Their activities can result in you earning a substantial amount of money. So treat them the same as your PSAs.

We must remember that your CSAs are hopefully building their own businesses just like your PSAs. They need guidance and encouragement.

They will see your Streams, so make sure that your postings there are applicable to them just as they would for your PSAs. Its the same with your weekly newsletters, include in there matters relevant to your whole team (PSAs and CSAs).

You will receive notifications from SFI of their successes and milestones, acknowledge these in your newsletter and/or send them congratulatory messages.

Check your 'Movers' tab daily and where relevant send out tips and encouragement to those who are working.

If you are able to, make sure they are included in team contests. If you have a website with training material for your team, direct you CSAs to it.

Always remind them that you are readily available to help them. Invite them to contact you and if they do, make sure you respond to them promptly.

Remember, they are members of your team. Care for them.
