Livechat is one of the good option to interact with your PSA or with your UPline.

Let me tell you where i have used live chat efficiently.

1. One of the best where i have used it when there is new PSA comes under me.. i immediately send message via livechat that " Hi , I am your sponsor, welcome to SI , First of all you go to "to-do list" and collect 500VP by completing Getting started actions that will give you more 500VP free for the rest of the work and Basic of SFI i will tell you in mail or message"

2. I have used it for some of my inactive PSA as well. when they are coming rarely i immediately tell them to which work they need to do further or which is important post in forum regarding them.

3. I use it for my upliner for most of my queries of ECA and other matters to help my PSA.

4. I also tell my inactive PSA about my contest via livechat so they can log in daily to win it :)(main intention is to make them active via contest)

4. I also use live chat to Congratulate my PSA and upline for winning of auction :)

5. Live chat also works as "offlinechat". Because when you send your message via it but before that your PSA goes offline it's been saved in his account and when he again log in its account he can see as offline message so in that way its also works good.

So in these ways it works awesome mostly for Immediate messaging to help or convey our message to PSA and Upline.

I would like to suggest one special chat window besides screen of main account which will work more efficient than current livechat option.

It's a question ,that i was thinking to raise for long now. and thanks to Mr.Anwar Douqa , who gave me a perfect platform to put my feeling's on place.

I love SFI and I love all the features available in this site ,except one thing and that is SFIM ( SFI's Live Chat)feature.

My experience about this feature is ,that i lost few PSA's due to this feature.

No alert chim or any other tool, by which we can be reminded about someone being online to us for chat. or if i try to chat with my PSA's ,they never replies.

It always goes unnoticed and it's very frustrating when you message someone and he or she do not respond. But i can't blame them ,because i understand ,they may not have noticed it on time.

Same thing happens to me also. I always am unable to notice them at right time and just imagine , a new member ,who joined just now and using SFIM to chat with his sponsor with a hope of getting help from him. And the sponsor do not reply to there question. not because sponsor is ignoring them , but because he is busy with some other activity and he did not notice ,if some one is online asking for help.

It happened to me quite few times.

I would request all the concerned members to upgrade this SFIM feature as it is used in FB or other social networking site.

Once upgraded ,it will be a great help to sponsors like me and newbies who eye's towerds there sponsors for help instently.

EDITOR'S NOTE: We have been working on a new alert for SFIM. This issue will be resolved very soon.

although i dnt answer answer many time but this question made me to answer. i use the live chat very effectively and this helps me to be among top sponsors. here are some tips to use it effectively.

1. before starting a live chat you must know his activities in SFI. say a hello and write him how effectively he can use his current approah.
2. ask him about his comfortness with online marketing. talk more as friend and less as sponsor.
3. offer your personal email id and ask his too. this makes more sense. this makes him a real person as his sponsor.

hope these points help

Yes i have used it many times and i am happy to say that i always got good results.
But the main thing is how and when to use it.

1. Do chat with the team mate u know already like your friends,family,classmates,office mates etc. It will ensure them that you are active here and giving right guidance.

2. Sometimes initiate chat with those who are new and doing extremely good or those who have joined earlier but trying after gap of some months.This will make them believe that you are always by their side and ready to help them.

3. Many times you will find some team member asking question through chat,answer their questions through chat only because many members dont read their inbox much but this live chat option blinks always when their is a message,so they will read your sponsor and it will create a better bond in your team.

4. You can also use this feature to message some one personally in your team like to congratulate them for becoming TL, or ECA etc.
They will feel that you do care for them .

I've had mixed results with the SFI Chat. The benefits are that you can communicate instantly with your affiliates provided they know what the bubble is for. For a new affiliate this provides instant credibility. If you can provide an instant answer to your affiliates, this also allows them to take action while the question is fresh in their mind.

The drawbacks I've encountered are I miss a lot of the chats while I'm doing other things and when I finally notice them the affiliate on the other end is gone. One other thing I've encountered is when I have multiple chats going they seem to get tangled up, so I'm never certain whether my replies are coming from or going to the right affiliate.

A very interesting question at a right time to be asked.
First of all, let me stick to the question and give answer for it.
SFI Live Chat is a very good concept in SFI.
One of the best mode for communication.
1) Suppose you've got a new PSA. He/she is online and trying to understand the system.
At that time you can use Live Chat to connect to them and teach them personally as much as possible and necessary for them at that time.
2) After that, when your downline has any query or needs any minor help and you both are online, they can instantly get your help and get to work again which is very helpful and time saving use.
3) You can contact your own upline members whenever they are online to get in to contact immediately .
----------------
BUT I would also like to mention some demerits of Live Chat.
1) Sometimes, the messages are not successfully sent to the person online.
2) Its a very small yellow bubble at the homepage due to which new affiliates usually reach till there after some time.
3) It does not have any feature of chat history, which sometime may lead to half communications. This has happened with me...
Have a good day !! :D

I do not initiate contact with my affiliates via live chat unless I know them very well (outside of SFI), I know that they prefer live chat (because this is the method they've used to contact me most in the past) or unless or unless I have a recent email or Team mail from them and I happen to catch them while they are still online. I find that affiliates who are shy can be driven away if you contact them via live chat and less likely to sign in again because they will fear feeling "cornered" again.

If I am contacted by one of my affiliates via Live chat I try to make sure that I spend as much time trying to help them as possible at that moment, no matter what time of day it is, because I feel that most affiliates who contact you via that method (if you don't already know them) feel that they have an emergency even if it doesn't appear to be one from my perspective.

With Live chat, we can easily communicate with our team leader, sponsor, or co-sponsor. We can discuss about our goals, prospects, ideas, and other topics more fast than team mail. And, with this, you can know who is online at that time, and you can communicate with them, encouraging them. And it is really good for being a good upline. It will be more effective and efficient.

Very simple...

When your team/downline is lost, needs clarification, assistance in completing a task, etc, they don't want to wait a day between communications. It makes for a very stressful time on their end. The instant chat allows you to do just that, help instantly!

I urge those, who have yet to utilize this tool, to use it! It is your best friend! I mainly take advantage of it when running a campaign as it allows me to greet a new affiliate moments after the sign-up process. Highly effective for those not yet aware of what SFI can do for them. Too easily are people turned off once they get that "lost" feeling. This helps to avoid such unhappy times and break free of the confusion one can so easily feel after joining.

Live chat is valuable tool for communication with your downline. I personally chat with various members of my team on a regular basis. It gives me a chance to give them immediate assistance or advice with any issues or questions they may have. Sending messages will eventually get answers to their questions but live chat helps eliminate the waiting for a reply. It also seems like a more personable and intimate way to communicate. I like real time conversations and many of my downline seem to feel the same way.
