The initial contact is the most important. If you don't have a good initial contact, there will be no follow-ups. On your first contact, don't overwhelm the prospect with too much information. We tend to spew out everything we know about SFI, whether it's correct or not. Give them enough information to make them curious, then give them the tools to find out more for themselves.

Great Question.

Once you have made contact with PSA prospects, it's important to follow up. You are in sales and provide a service. PSAs are money. Following up with your PSAs is a key component of your success.

There are a number of acceptable ways in which you can follow up with Your PSAs. Different methods work with different situations. The important thing to remember is to follow up in a couple of days. Consistency is key !

This is a difficult question to answer. But if you do not have initial contact,how can you follow up. So initial contact is important but initial contact alone is not sufficient ,it has to be followed up which is more important than initial contact. The details of benefits have to be explained. The initial enthusiasm has to be created. All doubts have to be cleared and only then can the results be expected

This is a good question!

In my opinion it's important to folow-up because you can learn from other person that did a good job but it's more important to prospect because will be something new.

It's important to prospect, to add something new, to attract new information, to attract new sources to make something that nobody did.

It's important to be creative because all new information attract new opportunities and new ideas to make money :)!

I hope that

Rather than thinking about more importance between mentioned (because I see them both VERY important), I would concentrate on my best doing with both:

1. Initial contact: first impression is unique and happens only once with each contact.
We could attract, cause interest, in accordance with the prospect's needs and wishes if done well.

2. Follow-up: after caused interest, need to offer the right, deeper introduction and help, showing the way, which is as simple as possible

Well for me the more important is the follow-up, because some of the affiliates especially the new ones have many questions to ask on how to move forward in this business, they need someone to guide them until they can do it alone, we should always put in our mind...affiliates success is our success too !! Whereas, initial contact is also important but there are some instance that SFI provides the initial contact by using
the S-Builder, thanks and good day to everyone.

It is very important to contacting down lines initially so as to make them understand the concept and also initial contact can make them confident that they can carry out the activity well.

Secondarily follow up is also a must because to check and monitor for every now and then gives them boosting up to keep the memento going. Thus, both initial contact and follow up both are necessary in my view.

Hope this answer helps you.

Thank you.

Let the business prospect know that you enjoyed talking with him during your initial point of contact. Include personal information to help the individual remember you. For example, if you meet a person at your child's little league game, be sure to mention that fact.
Tell the potential client that you wanted to follow up. Offer your services, go over your idea or share something useful. Most people like to feel that they are getting something for nothing.
Pique the individuals interest

Hi!
I always try on the situation in relation to themselves.
I would have been more comfortable each time to chat with my sponsor. Especially in the early days, when much is not clear, even when you do not understand the importance of certain actions.
Think back to the early days.
Remember how you were trying to take the first steps.
Remember what questions you were not clear.
Responding to these questions yourself, you will be easier to help each member of your

Short answer: The initial contact is great, but I believe the follow-up is greater. For one thing it lets your prospect or new signup knows that you are a real person and that you care. People don't really care about what you have to offer until they know you care ( I think I read that last line somewhere :-))
