Hello and Thank You for bringing such an important question to the board!
- First, I must admit that I am not aware of any possibility for automatic messages other than the Greeting that is automatically available for the new comers;
- Second, there is the Team Mail that is available through the Stream Posts for which we are rewarded by 3 VPs weekly... so personally, I got into the habit of making a Stream Post everyday so that I do not miss on any VPs and it provides me with the opportunity to send an automatic message that anyone can see and read if they wish to;
- Third, there are the Group Mailing possibilities available from the Genealogy if you are at least an Executive Affiliate; there is the possibility for a PSAs Mailing, a CSAs Mailing and all your Genealogy Mailing;
- However, the very important point that I want to make here is that your message should NEVER EVER Seem like an Automatic or even like a Group Message as those are not very effective. You need to make each one of your message as Personal as it can be. You need to make each of your message as Specific and Appropriate as possible... meaning that it is very much applicable and concerning to the affiliate receiving it. If the affiliate can feel that it is simply a message, just to send a message; that it is a message that is addressed to the group but that there is nothing that really concerns him or her personally, you are missing the point.
- I review my genealogy every day and look for what I could point out to recognize or help any one of my downline... and, if I find something, then I send a personal message or Group message to a specific group with a specific topic concerning them, in this case using the ~firstname~ to personalize it as much as possible.
So, from my perspective, there are very few occasions where an automatic message would be appropriate.
To your Success,
Alain

Linda,

Like Williams said if you want to send automatic messages to your downline then an autoresponder would be the tool to use. But I would be cautious about depending on an autoresponder. You want your affiliates to feel that you have a personal interest in them, so individualized messages are more important. You want to adapt your message to the individual affiliate’s need. As they say “One shoes does not fit all”

Write a series of messages into a word document that you can copy and paste as and when relevant. I have found it very time consuming trying to put together the same message for an affiliate who has made it to the next level, or who may have won something etc. That way you can still use the PSA, CSA, and Team Mailer etc but not spend the time writing the actual email. It will take you sometime to pull the information together but then you add to it as you need to.

For personal greeting ot my affiliates I use the SFI feature: http://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/NewAffiliateGreeting -for greeting and you can make an explaining mail on autoresponder - it doesn't change.
I work with a company, who provides autoresponder /up to 10 messages/ and I have made already the e-mails with information to send. This is also valid for the training I do for my team members, but they should show the will to receive my messages. I put e-subscription form on my web page.
But I personally prefer to communicate with my team members without autoresponder /I use it for special training I do/, this way the communication is better. My small team is active and I prefer to stay personal /as much as possible/ connected with them.

I generally like to keep my team mails in my regular e-mail folders for each catagory, then pick which personally written mail I would like to use.

Since my yahoo e-mail tab is always open, its very easy to tab over and just open the specified folder and copy my message, then tab back to SFI and paste my message to my Team Mail that I am sending out and can modify it as needed.

To me it is a very fast and easy method to use. Simple huh?

Good question,
Inside SFI you have only one option to send automatic message i.e. Sending a personal greetings to newly joined PSA to your group. That you can find in the VP Ledger and modify and save it any time.
To send them more emails periodically you can create a series of mails in your personal autoresponder and ask them to subscribe to it.
In the personal welcome message you can give your autoresponder link. Once the opt for for your newslaters you can send them as many as mails you want automatically.

hope its help full

I agree with the Affiliates who only use the SFI on the welcome message. People helping people is what SFI is about. Getting a personal email from you, the upline, as a real person is what will help to grow a relationship, remember we are all humans with the basic need of knowing someone cares about you as a person. Auto responses are everywhere but when you get a Christmas Card in the post handwritten by someone, how special is that!
