This is the best question for Team Leaders.

Information Overload occurs when we tend to miss an important points which connects to another important points. Just like a Formula in every mathematics exercise. It is a practice when one likes to jump to any levels of excitement interest without in following order.

To prevent and minimze information overload for our new affiliates, we as sponsors play an important role. SFI has provided all the resources to all infos and trainings, we on our part plays a teacher and friends role, pointing to guidelines and answers their questions.

We were given options to view their actions through our genealogy tools, and communication with them are so vital, so as to build good friendship and trust as a Team Partnership.

Action guides has to be in sequence, focusing on what better things they should do on their Day 1
Example: A warmth Welcome letter consist of 3 categories.
1) congratulates them into our SFI teamwork
2) and some advice for them to set up their Profile page.
3) Not to forget our high hope for their reply, to continue our communication onward.

Monitoring their progress from our Genealogy, and to follow up exercise on Day 3 will be more about Versapoints, maintaining above Green Line, Compensation Plan, Leadership and Income.

If they do well here, it is then time for them to learn about their bonus Fast Track.

All these are a simple guideline towards an awesome sponsoring method and understanding our new affiliates without overwhelming them with information overload.

Upon everything, it relys everything on Communication and Replys from both party.

Never Give Up, and just move forward.

Don't give your new PSA's/CSA's more information than they need.

When I first started getting excited about SFI I started sending out team mails far to often listing anything and everything about SFI.

I really believe too much information at the beginning should be avoided as none of those affiliates are active as of now. I personally believe that this is due partially by my overloading them with information.

Just give them the basics in your welcome message. Contact them when they reach a goal or if you notice they need some guidance. Answer their questions when they have questions.

What I do is give a basic introduction message via email. I have my welcome letter set up on my account so they will see it when they log in. This letter points them to my leadership page where I have a few blog posts giving the very basic links they should follow to begin to learn about SFI.

I still have to see whether this will actually work or not. But so far the ones who are showing interest seem to be doing fine on their own.

Keep it simple whatever you decide to do.

Good question Darren.

In order to optimise the informations available for new affiliates we should ensure that they are guided step by step and not overloaded.

First of all get them to read the SFI Basics.Here affiliates will be explained on the various ways of earning income as listed below:
1. Accumulation of VersaPoints by doing the daily,weekly and monthly actions.
A complete list of pointable actions are listed in the SFI To-Do List.
2. Generation of sales at TripleClicks.com
Various methods of generating TripleClicks sales are also listed.
3. Sponsoring and duplication
Dozens of methods for signing of new affiliates are provided.
4. Additional supplemental income streams
Three additional income streams are provided namely Co-sponsor SFI affiliates, Refer ECAs to
TripleClicks and SFI's Pay-Per-Action.

Of course mere reading is not sufficient without fully understanding it. As such we should ensure that our new affiliates refer to us should they are in doubt or need further clarifications.

Secondly introduce them to the LaunchPad. Altogether there are 30 lessons to be learnt which covers various related topics.However you must stress to your new affiliates by not learning the lessons in a speedy manner. They will need time to fully absorb everything.Take it gradually and learnt a bit every day and ensure that they fully understand them.Remember anything that is worthwhile will normally takes time.

Thirdly you can share your own experience when you initially join this business.Brief them on your initial steps and actions which have brought you to your current position or status. I am pretty sure your new affiliates will be impressed and will take the necessary steps in order to be successful as you.Do always remember that ROME is not built overnight.

I hope the above suffice and good luck with your team building.

Hello!

I wondered the same thing not so long ago. But now I have a strategy. I made few e-mails with smaller pieces of information and I send it regularly to my team members if they don't have any questions at first and we're not online to chat. There is my strategy if I can call it like this:
* Day 1 - Versapoints and Tripleclicks /SFI basics/
* Day 2 - Gateways and promoting them
* Day 3 - SO and commissions
* Day 4 - T-currency and EZ games
* Day 5 - Importance of all actions in SFI, Tripleclicks, Launchpad and SFI Basics again.
* Day 6 - Blog, banners and traffic exchange sites

I do these things when I see active affiliates. By active I mean they at least have completed their profiles and white-listed e-mails.

Question:
"How can we guide our new affiliates in a way that prevents or minimizes information overload?"

Good question. I would stick very close to the basics:

1) Log in and do the "Daily Tasks" https://www.sfimg.com/Home

2) Get "Started" learning how we earn: https://www.sfimg.com/start

3) Complete "SFI Basics": https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics

4) Complete "Launchpad": https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/

Remind the new Affiliate to pace themselves, and take baby steps.

By monitoring their Ledger we can see how much progress is made. Slowly pointing out those areas bit by bit will keep from overwhelming a new Affiliate.

Copy and paste one or two of these areas which were missed at a time, and offering a tip via an E card, or by sending an email pointing out these areas can also help.

Include in our mailings to ask questions, or add suggestions. This will help determine how much information to share at once after the person responds.

Do not rush a new Affiliate. Have them keep in touch with you often, this will also give chance to encourage.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for allowing me to share!

My answer to your question is to give them very basic information at first.

Make it clear it would be in their best interests to log in daily and earn their points as they can compete in the E365 and the Daily Grand. Remind them that the launchpad lessons and SFI basics also earn them points and appear on their home page to be referred to at any time they need to.

Tell them who you are and that you're there to help. If and when you win something whether it's a draw, a game, an auction, share it with them and perhaps how you did it.

Keep all correspondence short and to the point.

Communication is key and SFI reminds us to send a mail out every week.

Hope I was able to help!

Hi Darren,

Great question! So often I see affiliates not engage and when I send probing e-mails to try and learn why most often it is because they feel overwhelmed. So my answer here is simple ....

Keep it Simple.

Even though SFI does a GREAT job presenting information in an easy to understand format still new affiliates often need a little hand holding in the beginning. I send an e-mail with a link and direct them to one task. I then encourage them to e-mail me back once the task is done. Then I direct them ... with the link ... to the next task. It takes a little more time but seems to be a bit more effective and also engages the new affiliate and helps to begin our relationship and trust building.

I hope this helps.


Be Strong and Keep the Faith! :-)

Actually, the best way to do this is to introduce them to SFI gradually.

What I mean is, while they are still your prospects, discuss with them about SFI. Perhaps have discussions on the fact that it is free. Or about the standing order. Or about the daily activities. Or about the selling and promoting.

And I don't mean pushing them to join. Rather, talk to them as if they are a sounding board and you want their opinion.

By the time they themselves get interested in SFI and want to join, they have already known the ins and outs of SFI through you!

As for me personally, what I do is use a lead capture page with an autoresponder which I use to send short emails about SFI. By the time they finish my email campaign, they should already know the basics. And as a bonus, I add a few emails about marketing, traffic exchanges, website creation and all the other stuff people like us use.

If I see that they haven't joined, then I send them a giftcard to entice them to shop at TripleClicks. At least you don't totally lose if they decide to become a PRM but not your PSA.

Good day Darren,

Nice question and 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 compensation plan so they know what they stand to benefit.
5. Encourage them to do their daily, weekly and monthly tasks informing them that little drops make mighty ocean. That it inches them a step away from becoming an EA.
6. Let them know they need to advertise, word of mouth informing people on SFI. Inorder words, let them know the importance of building a downline.
7. Let them know the importance of tripleclicks being the online shop, where they can list unwanted item on their t connect page for as low as 1 t credit per listing.
8. Encourage them to have a standing order inorder to be an EA/ team leader. With that, it would enable them partake of the tripleclicks executive pool.

In summary, we have to guide them from the onset and be good leaders. If they have the drive, determination and are willing to learn, they would become good embassors and duplicate their Sponsors.

All the best.

I would suggest them to start with their daily tasks to get to know the site. Then i also send them to their to do list in explain that they can learn all about sfi and it's workings by step by step completing these and reading the articles, and finally i'll tell them to take a look at the fast track program to let them know how they can benefit the most by taking action right away.

Then when they have gone trough their to do list i'll send them to the launchpad lessons, and also offer my help trough facebook and such in case of any questions, i always reasure them by telling them to follow the lessons and tasks one by one and focus on that 1st. When they are ready for the next step i guide them along the way into the marketing process.

So basicly, don't rush over things, give them time, to learn and comprehend sfi.
