I would definitely say Yes, Follow them.
When you entered as a newbie think about it, would it be great to be contacted by an upline member, Sure, Yes! I would have been! I can tell you that after my first month I was personaly contacted and congratulated by Gary for my good job and I got Co-Sponsors more than usual! I can asure you that it gave me more punch, energy, motivation!

I thought waouah it's a very good company where several people in the upline take time to email you.

You know beginning is always sensible, it's the period where you tyest everything, you're not sure? you don't know if your choice was good?
You don't know if articles say the right things.
We are totally part of the company, we belong to team Leaders, because of this we have to show the direction, to show how it should work, to show that you take care of your Team. By this way "contacting newbies" you definitely win the confidence of this newbie but also of all your team, as you can at the same time, write your team, and tell them Mr Ms "soandso" joins us today, welcome "soandso" ...
Yes do it and it's a win/win moral contract.

This newbie as a proof of serious Cie, serious team.
To your success.

While the primary responsibility for your 2nd generation is their sponsor and co-sponsor, any help that you give will make your team stronger. Sending a team message to the whole team shares knowledge that they might not get otherwise. Every one of us has knowledge and experiences that are unique to us. Some part of that might be just what the affiliates in the downline need to thrive. It is therefore alright to help the 2nd, 3rd etc generations. That might in the end be the best way you can help your 1st generation.

If they are part of your genealogy, then they are members of your team and you should support them in every way you can! You are their Upline Support Team Leader and the reason you are provided with such information as their Title, Monthly and Total VersaPoints, last Login date etc, is so you can provide appropriate support to them using the Genealogy Group Mailer and Team Mail.

You may not make Direct Commissions from their purchases like you do from your PSAs, but you can make matching VP off them if they become EA2 down to the 12th generation! So you benefit from their success and should help them by regularly sending out Genealogy group mails and Team mails. You should also use the Stream posts to motivate and celebrate them. They have your contact details as a member of their Upline Support Team. Never fail to respond to their mails to you. Their sponsors may not be there or lack the knowledge to guide them, and so you may be all they have.

Absolutely! You are their upline leader and as such they all look to you for guidance. Now I definitely concur that your 2G has a capable mentor/teacher/leader/friend because you helped trained them! Don't steal their thunder! Let them shine and lead their team. It shows them that you have confidence and trust in their abilities.

Think of it as a organization. There's corporate, Area Managers, District Managers, then Store level managers. Corporate rarely shows up at the store! The front line managers are the ones who are in direct contact with their sales staff. Similarly, your job is to provide needed support and motivation to the team. As a upline leader, you should organize events & promotions, provide incentives, and coordinate recognition through out your network. Always facilitate the 'open door' policy.

You should be highly visible to your entire team. Answer all emails with-in 48 hours or earlier if possible. Make your phone number available and your email address. Show your team how much you appreciate their efforts by offering them continuing support through all the stages of their development. Your life will be much easier if you teach your 1G affiliates everything that you know; then, allow them the space to work with their sales teams. Ultimately, sponsors gain the greatest benefit (up to 72% of the commission volume)and should provide the bulk of the support to their teams. Never tell anyone that you can not help them. Point them in the right direction and help them because we are all in this together.

For Sure! Be the best sponsor you can be to your whole team. If I see that someone has earned something or achieved a new goal, I email them. I also watch to see who is online, and always send a message of appreciation and let them know I care and I am there for them. I get emails from several generations below number one. When I answer an email,I mention their sponsor and how appreciative I am to have both the sponsor and them in my downline. Then I send their sponsor a copy of the email or at least let them know what I did.

This is an excellent question! You should certainly reach out to the affiliates on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc generations, since you are part of their upline support team. Even though we all compete to be at the top of the VP leaderboard, we all benefit from supporting our fellow SFI affiliates.

In addition, supporting Generations 2-6 and so forth is an excellent idea for those affiliates who become Team Leaders because they earn matching VP on all EA2s in their downline through the 6th generation if they are a Bronze Team Leader, the 8th generation as a Silver Team Leader, the 10th generation as a Gold Team Leader, and the 12th generation as a Platinum Team Leader. This even includes CSAs, so you should certainly help them as well.
