When you sign up a new member to me right away I'll write him a letter and ask him to enter the Skype name so I can talk to him. If this works, then you better go for screen sharing to use the site to show him, tell him how daily tasks that must be carried out, how can you collect points Versa, how will be your income.

If you ask for help, you can contact him and try to answer the questions raised in a short time.

It is very important for keeping in touch with the new members

Obviously the most important is the Initial Contact.

Without an "initial" contact there can be no "follow up".

Neither Initial or Follow Up is going to matter much unless you put some careful thought into it.

Be sure to tell the contact-ee how to connect with you. Never be harsh in your criticism. Always be helpful, not accusatory.

What would YOU like to hear from your sponsor's initial contact?

"Do unto others as you

i honestly believe the two are in the same. the initial contact is important - this let the affiliate knows that you are there and is interested. the follow-up too is important. treat others like you want to be treated. i would mostly like a follow-up to check-in to make sure all is going well and if there is any thing that you can do.

hope this answers the question.

cheers

Its both the ways which are required to develop the upcoming prospects. Initially its is the first impression which is the best one. And further it is known that followup is key to build up confidence level and a moral support where he can stabilize his business and develop leadership qualities. The key to success lies in both platform and finishing not alone.

I think all communication is important But it's the initial contact that demonstrates to your affiliates that you welcome the correspondence and that you are approachable. I think the initial correspondence should be short,concise and personal so it doesnt get lost in the overwhelming amount of material that they're already confronted with.

More important is training to build your new business.Action every day,because you'll be moving your business forward,slowly but surely.And this will result in some very good things for you.
Goto your success with SFI,and mean to your SFI benefits and compensation.
For the initial contact with a prospect or fellow-up,SFI is our profit-sharing programs and SFI is profit sharing can be very exciting.But with so many more benefits available to you,you should strive to go as high as you can

Both are of course vital! Some people will respond to the initial contact and start building their own business immediately, while others might respond to the follow-ups you might do. Both are very important, but the follow ups is what makes sure you get the most quality out of your downline over time.

Stay in constant contact.So...it's not your sponsor. It's not your upline. It's not the economy. It's not the government. It's not the compensation plan. It's not any of these things or any other obstacles perceived to be in your way. If you want to become successful, you can go around the obstacles, go over, go under, or go right through them. Success is yours if you want it, but ONLY YOU control this. Always remember: "If it's to be, it's up to me."

I think both, the initial contact and the follow-up with a prospect are equally important. It’s very important to make a good first impression to get them motivated and involved. If there is no initial contact, there will be no follow-up.

Initial contact leads to follow-up. Follow-up and relationship building must be done in order to sponsor some really good affiliates. If you’re not doing follow-up then you’re wasting your time. The fortune is in the follow-up!

The initial contacts with the prospect is the important than the follow up as The ist impression is the last impression.The ways/the language ,your face your behaviour your status as for as the sfi is concerned .Face reading also plays special role while you contacts the propects your behaviour should be such you should looks like wellwisher of the prospects however we must be fully conversent with the sfi rules and regulations to answer prospects questions if any, follow up is must but the ist impression
