In this business, communication is the name of the game.

There is no such thing as "too much communication".

If you are just starting out, I would encourage you to contact your Sponsor, Co-Sponsor and/or other upline anytime you have a question, concern or need any kind of support.
(Caution: Don't become dependent on your upline for everything. SFI has a treasure house full of information with answers to almost any question. If you look for it yourself and can't find an answer, then contact your Sponsor/Co-Sponsor.)

I don't believe there is any sponsor that would be upset hearing from their downline. Quite the contrary, I think all are extremely happy when their PSAs/CSAs contact them because it is a sign that you are working and want to grow.

Sponsors also love to hear what is going on in your business. You can contact them to talk about what is going well or to get advise on marketing, etc.

Open lines of communication will not only let your sponsor help you build your business, it will also give you training on how to interact with your downline in the future!

My experience is when ever necessary.

When my sponsor was assigned to me, he contacted me right away. I was glad he did, because it let me know that this business has integrity. Then off and on I got in touch with him when I needed some help with some thing I couldn't figure out.

As it stands now he just let's me go on my own and checks in with me now and then. I understand that he has his own obligations as well as I, so we don't make it a regular communication habit. All in all, we touch base about once a month, but we read each others stream and email on a regular basis.

In so saying, communication can be on a regular basis, if you really get to know your sponsor and build a friendly relationship with them. Or you can do as I do and make contact when it's really necessary. But the choice would come from how comfortable you are in the communication.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
If you are like the 95% of us on SFI that have the best sponsors you should communicate frequently as possible. Alot of people love communication which is the word of choice in SFI. We all believe if there is no communication there is no team. Team is the second word of choice. with out teamwork there is no communication. So to let your sponsor know that you are a team player and are serious about SFI as the rest of us you should communicate.

If you have questions the best person you should ask is you sponsor some of them have been in SFI for many years and know what they are doing and know that it works.

I myself have communicated many times with my sponsor when I am in doubt
"MANY TIMES" and he has given me insight of different situations I would not know of on my own. So if you are new in SFI the best choice is to communicate with them any chance you have. But remember ask them first is it ok if you communicate with them daily or as needed if you need to. The most of sponsors will say yes because they to know how it is to start a business.

Thank You for your question I hope this helps.

Hi Abraham

Communication with your Sponsor or cosponsor can be frequent but is really dependent on how often they allow you to do it.

Just as you do not want your sponsor/cosponsor to appear spammy while communicating with you, it is worth noting that they too require that you reciprocate the same. If you have a sponsor who has a very large down line for example you should have it in you to understand that his/her communication with you will not be as frequent.

If you don't have a supportive sponsor who you have never heard from, don't worry keep reaching out to other members in your Up line. Your sure to get one or two who are willing to help you out.
Begin by asking them about their time schedules and when they are available to offer support and help to you.

This approach has worked well for me. I do not communicate with my sponsor/cosponsor much because he is very distant but I do communicate with my TOP most up line on Skype and on private mail and he has been very helpful irrespective of the fact that he has a VERY large down line.

So go ahead and find out from your sponsor and cosponsor or top most up line, if your immediate sponsors are distant about their schedules then ask them to fix you an appointment or a Skype date if they can. I am certain at least one will positively respond or both. SFI has already provided the tools that make it easy for you to reach out to them. Just HIT the reach out button, type out and send....

Hi,

This depends on how much assistance you require.

When I started out initially I would contact my sponsor a couple times for the week.
Most of us who become sponsors/co-sponsors would love for our down line to follow in our footsteps/beyond but this is not always possible, since we don't all have the same resources.

If you have a sponsor/co-sponsor like mine that is readily available then keep in touch at least once or twice a week. Most sponsors/co-sponsors want their teams to succeed so feel free to communicate with them.

My communication with my sponsor/co-sponsor is not as often but one thing i know is that they are readily available to assist when i need their help.

Regards

You should communicate with your Sponsor or Co-sponsor whenever you need their help.

But take care of the following points:
1) Always try to be in touch with your immediate sponsor first. If he/she is unavailable or not responding, then you may contact with your Co-sponsor.

2) Only thing you need to be careful is that you don't contact both of them for some silly reason. First try to find the answer to your query yourself with the help of SFI training and support. If you don't find the required answer to your query, then proceed to contact your Sponsor/Co-sponsor.

3) Even if you contact your sponsor/co-sponsor 10 times a day they won't mind, because they have direct interest in your business. But make sure you are not over dependent on them. Because none of the sponsor/co-sponsor will be happy to spoon-feed their downline.

Cheers!

Hi
There’s no rule how often to communicate, it’s all up to you.

However, at the very beginning every affiliate needs some help, input, ideas, support in order to achieve first goals – FAST TRACK, EA.

My sponsor told me what to do, where to go, what to read and what my first goal should be. We talked a lot maybe for a week, but then, very soon, I realized that it is me who needs to read for myself, in order to learn what I need to do.

As a team leader and a co-sponsor I have some PSAs and CSAs who quite frequently communicate with me asking for suggestions, but also have some who don’t need any explanations.

My upline for example didn’t have any communication neither with his sponsor nor with co-sponsor and he’s made to PTL.

So, it’s all up to you.

Best regards

Hello Abraham,

Of course you should communicate to your sponsor and co-sponsor if you have a question or need help with anything. I also think you should respond to any message from them that asks a question or asks for information to better help you. If you don’t want to answer questions, just tell them that and they will not keep asking.

I have been a member of SFI for four months. I send out a team message every week and if I see someone is below the green line I send a message to offer help. I have sent messages to all the team about a free co-op I have stated and other items they could benefit from. I have 233 PSAs Gen. 15 PSAs Gen. 2 and 199 CSAs. I have only received replies from 3 PSAs and 1 CSA in four months.

This is very frustrating. It would be nice to hear from them once in a while. Many are working regularly and may not need any help, but I wish they would tell me that.

I hope this answers your question.

Communications is an important aspect for building up your SFI Business. Your sponsor and co-sponsors are key figures in the communication line. As a new affiliate the communications is necessary to bridge the gap so as to grasp the basics of building up your SFI business. The frequency of communications will vary depending on the following factors:

NEW AFFILIATES
As a new affiliate the communications should be often as maybe two to three times a week for a month to get a strong foothold of the SFI business. The communications will be centred around “Getting Started”, “SFI Basics”, and “Launchpad”. These are the essential areas of concern for new affiliates and there has to be robust communications to get an understanding of the SFI business. After grasping the fundamentals then communications process still continues to reinforce and to keep abreast.

TEAM BUILDING
For team building communications with sponsor/co-sponsor is necessary like once a week to seek advise on how to build a cohesive team and progress together.

UNRESPONSIVE SPONSOR
There could be a possibility that your sponsor maybe unresponsive. This calls for more frequent communication with your co-sponsor. Perhaps communicating about at least two times a week should provide you with enough resources to help build up your SFI business.

SPONSORING AND DUPLICATION
Sponsoring and duplication is the key to success in your SFI business. So you need to communicate with your sponsor/co-sponsor at least once a week to guide you through this process.

SUPPORT LEAD TIME
It is normal to have a lead time for Support to answer your queries. So constant communication with sponsor/co-sponsor is necessary and could get you faster responses. This also cuts down on the workload for Support.

SPONSOR/CO-SPONSOR WEEKLY SUPPORT
Sponsor/Co-Sponsor do carry out weekly support and in a way some communication is always maintained for PSAs. The various means of communications include PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, Genealogy Group Mailer, Streams, Email etc.

To sum up communication is an essential tool to build up your SFI business and should always be maintained with your sponsor/co-sponsor in order to get a firm grasp of the SFI business and disseminate your knowledge to your downline.

How often you should communicate with your sponsor?
I would answer: as often as you need!
For sure, in the beginning is more often, while you are newbie, and all is new,
than, as you grow up a bit, with experience and knowledge about your job,it will be less and less, but still regularly.
Still, it's up to you. It's depends on that what kind of relationship you already have with you Sponsor.
Don't forget the fact that your Sponsor can follow your work and see all you do, but still if you need some help, you need to ask. Be free to ask, that's why sponsor is there, and whole your upline.
Hope that this was helpful.
