Good question!

I would start with sending them a Welcome letter and letting them know you are their new Co-Sponsor. Let them know you are there to help them and to contact you if they have any questions.

From their profile, you may be able to find out where they live specifically in your country. This would possibly give you something to talk about like maybe you have traveled there or somewhere close by. What I would be looking for is a common point of reference whereas you would have something to talk to them about other than SFI.

Then, a day or two later, I would send them another email and let them know you realized you both live in the same country. Tell them where you live and a little about where you have traveled in the country. Ask them some generic questions about where they live and their travels without getting too personal or making it sound like you are going to show up on their doorstep.

From those email communications, hopefully you could find a familiar point of reference or common ground within your country. It may be enough of an association that you could ask them if you could call or meet with them if it is not too far away. Towards the end of that conversation, I would ask them if they have had time to look into SFI and if so, what they thought. Share a few of your personal achievements and some good points about the program. This may spark some interest or prompt them to ask questions about the program.

Unfortunately, the new CSA may not have an interest in communicating with you or anyone else about SFI. If that is the case, then there is no harm. But, if they do eventually take a closer look at SFI, they will remember you as a good, friendly person in their own country and just may give you a call or send an email. Always leave the “door open” for them to “step through” if and when they change their mind.

Having new CSAs from your country gives you the advantage of establishing relationship with them faster and easier. You don’t have to deal with the common barriers such as language and culture because you understand them where they’re coming from.

A faster communication flow between you and your CSAs will help you tremendously in sharing your ideas and tips and in connecting with them.

What does it takes to get the attention of your CSAs to engage them in your SFI organization?

- Send them your warm welcome and make them feel that you’re there to fully support them.

- Depending on your time, whenever you see them online, try to connect with them, using SFIM chat. Establishing your first contact with your CSAs is an important step towards building closer relationship with them. Your conversation with your CSAs will provide you powerful insights in regards to their concerns and what’s in their mind as they face challenges in their journey with SFI.

- Send your weekly messages regularly sharing some of the common challenges that every affiliate faces in their journey with SFI and how you came up with solutions to overcome them.

- Always try to provide valuable content to your messages, or in communicating with them. For example, you can share your success, how you applied some of the latest SFI innovations in growing your SFI business.

- You can initiate a group discussion with your CSAs on your ideas about marketing strategy, team building, and using social media effectively to get highly qualified leads, etc. in the SFI sub forum my country/region.

- Another effective way of getting their attention is by actively participating in SFI Forum, providing solutions to other affiliates getting the Forum guru badge.

- You can also actively participate in the Ask SC and EZ games. You’ll get their attention and inspire them to become active and follow your lead as they see your Ask SC answers getting the most votes, runner up or third to tenth place position. The same is true when you have multiple badges for playing the EZ games.

- Use the Stream Posts to congratulate them in their achievements or share your messages of motivation to inspire them.

By doing all the steps above, you’ll be able to get the attention of your CSAs and engage them to excel in their activities which mean higher commission for you. They’ll most likely follow your lead for conveying to them your passion for your SFI business.

Firstly, it's great that your new CSAs are from your Country, which means the problem of languages can be eliminated because you would be all speaking a common language, which would make communication a lot easier.

Secondly, as we are taught at SFI - as Sponsors/Co-Sponsors, we are to be friendly, welcoming and caring towards our team members.

So my suggestion would be after the initial welcome emails, go and chat (if they are online) or send them follow up email or E-Card asking them how you can be of help to them.

Depending on your own knowledge of SFI, you can also share ideas/tips with them to help them grow their SFI business.

Hi Gilbert

The 1st thing to do is to send them a special welcome message. Don’t use your standard message, personalised it.

They are you countrymen; use your language, local dialect and sayings. For Kiwis, say ‘Kia ora cousin’
Be friendly and assure them because you have a special bond, you are going to do your very best to help them in this business.
Encourage them to make contact with you and keep the conversations going.

The conversations do not have to be SFI related all the time. Talk to them about local happenings and local matters of interest.

What you are aiming to do is to build up your personal relationships with them so that they become engaged. I believe that if you succeed in doing this, SFI growth and your CSAs becoming active will naturally follow.

Wishing you all the best my friend.

I would recommend contacting them the same way as any of your original CSAs and PSAs.

Begin with the welcome email or e-card, introducing yourself as their new co-sponsor. Advise them of your contact information, let them know you are available to help them any time they need it.

Then continue with regular contacts, as you have been doing all along. Regular, informative contacts will let them know you are from their country, and hopefully good rapport will be established.

If their sponsor is not from their country, you may be more of a sponsor than co-sponsor to them, but that will still also benefit both you and your new CSAs. This is the purpose for the Exchange, to get everybody as active as they wish, with leaders they can communicate with successfully.

Best wishes with your new CSAs:))...

To get the attention of your new CSAs, you must endeavor as quickly as convenient to make some form of contacts with them. When you receive new CSAs from your country, just go to their affiliate snapshot page found here,

https://www.sfimg.com/AffiliateSnapshot?sfiid=xxxxxxxx

That is where you can get the information you need to reach each and every one of your new CSAs to make all the necessary contacts you want to make with them. While there, you have the option of using each one or any of the following channels to make contact with your new CSAs depending on what type of message you want to put across.

1. E-mail.
2. Team mail.
3. Telephone.
4. SFIM chat channel.
5. Postal address.
6. E-card mail.

Do not fail to invite them to your Leadership Page so that they can have the opportunity to see how well you are doing in the business. As a fellow country person, when they see what is possible with you, it could quickly help them to rekindle activities in their own business. It is advisable to formally welcome the new CSAs to your own team and to assure them of continued support. Encourage them to let you in on why they are not really very active in their business. The use of common local language can be very effective here. From there, you can use all the available awesome sponsor tips to help your new CSAs with their business.

I hope this answers your question. Good luck!!!

First thing you do is keep a welcome message for your
CSA"s.

Then a followup one to send 3 days later.

On each of their 4th days,check out their v.p.ledger
and see if they did anything besides log in.

If they are not active, wait till they get back to you or just include
them in your next mailing.

As Gery says,"work with the workers".

After two months,I will trade back all inactive that do not speak my language.
Works for me.

All of the CSAs were put into the CSA Exchange because they were considered 'drift wood' by there sponsor. So I really think that the majority of these affiliates will be purged from SFI in a year of their joining. So how can you get their attention? You won't in most cases but there are those affiliates who will greatly benefit from having a sponsor that can relate to them culturally. Your next team mail might include just the right information to rekindle that spark of ingenuity and ambition.

Why not check to see when your new CSA is online, and send them an instant chat message of welcome. Tell them your SFI story and then ask them how things are going for them. Most people are intrigued when someone cares enough to ask . . . ;'How's it going for you?"

Finally you have to do what is recommended to be an outstanding SFI affiliate and good sponsor. People don't know how much you care until you show them. The right affiliate will blossom while any others just wither away. Support them the best you can. .

I am passing through the same situation.I have been planing and contacting them.One thing is to be noted.And it's this way. We are given an opportunity to have CSAs from our countries.To have CSAs from one's own country is that much easy to communicate them. I personally suggest you the points that I am acting upon.
1: Go to their leadership pages,take a bird's eye view of what they have performed so far.
2: Their contact info is of prime importance here.
3: Collect all the contact info and write them down on apiece of paper clearly.
4: Their personal cell numbers and e-mails ids and skype ids can work for you.
5: Start sending email them on their personal email ids with an effective ways and something revolving their future and help.
6: Self-interest and dictatorship should be avoided.
7: If they are not taking you serious and not responding,start talking them on skype,highlight all the useful features of sfi and offer your help in this regard.
8: Cell phone number should be used as a last option and try to convince them positively and effectively.
Hope this helps.

The best form of communication that I have found effective is a combination of team mailer, SFI chat and email and e-cards.

Initially an introduction through the team mailer should take care of creating attention from your CSAs and they are aware that there is support from you to them. It is good to vary your means of communication with them. I prefer to also send in a very short message on the chat whenever I see them online; even if they are offline, I add a line or two which they will see when they log in. Just in case they do not know that we have a chat system, this is when the email becomes useful.

Also remember to change the content of your communication and do not pick on the same topic. Create a variety and sometimes just talk generally about topics of mutual interest. For example business environment in their country or what they do. Add in your own experiences to make your content interesting reading.

It helps to ask them, do not assume. Ask them what interests them about the SFI program and if there are any specific areas that are of concern. This shows that you care. Hopefully, all this on a regular basis will create some kind of a motivation for your CSAs to respond to you and work their business.
