I always view my CSA's and my PSA's the same. After all we are all one big team. They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and I believe that each member of my team deserves equal consideration. As a co-sponsor you are being entrusted as one of the 2 top people to help another person to build their future. In the business world a co-worker is your equal and works side by side at any place of employment. Why would I view a CSA any different? By having the title of co-sponsor you are in essence an equal partner with the persons sponsor and have no less responsibility to seeing that they achieve the goals they set for themselves and offering assistance whenever you are able.

When I first joined I was allocated my Co-Sponsor as is every single affiliate. My Co-Sponsor happened to be another affiliate who joined the same day as I did, and I NEVER received a single email, encouragement or contact from them, although I was working really hard. I didn’t like the feeling that I was not important so I vowed that I would not do that to my CSAs.
Every week I send out a Weekly Email including a Tip of the Week. I send the Weekly Email to all my Team members (over 1800) including the CSA’s, as they are just as important as my PSAs and all other Generation affiliates.
I also include them in my challenges for shares in my Team Advertising Co-Op. I set up the Co-Op because it was the only way I could pass on PSAs to my CSAs as well as all Gen 2-5, (I use PSA reassignments as rewards for my PSAs but can’t for anyone else in my Team).
I also avail myself to everyone in my Team in case they have individual questions or concerns, I am always here to help and it is encouraging for me when I have contact with anyone (especially my CSAs, as I am unsure whether they are receiving any specific help from their own Sponsor).

Hello. Your CSA's are just as important to your business as the PSA's are. I cannot distinguish between them.
As a norm, your CSA's need more encouragement and motivation to get their businesses going. Therefore, it is vital that you send them a team mail at least once a week. Their sponsors can only benefit from your encouraging your CSA's
Try to motivate them by sending them to the TripleClicks Store, to buy their household needs and more. Tell them about the valuable books they can obtain there, as well.
You may want to point them to the Pricebenders Auctions where they could win amazing valuable items. The prizes that they could walk away with are sometimes less 87% in cost.
I hope that this helps you and I wish you the very best.

Good question. Not out of politeness that I said that this is a good question.
For beginners myself, it was comforting to receive a note from my co-sponsor Margarita who has been a member for many years. Messages from my upline all the way up are also welcome.
We ought to do for PSAs and CSAs alike if we could contribute to the gowth of SFI as a whole.
As co-sponsors, we also welcome other co-sponsors to support our own PSAs. This cross support create the buzz that shows SFI members are dynamic and therefore SFI is a place to be at for seriousness in business.
Personally I like the interaction with interesting business people from other countries.
SFI has been evolving since I joined. Members could have much to contribute to this evolution and make it profitable. Cheers.

Whenever I get free CSA's for attaining TL rank, I always let them know that though I am just their Co-Sponsor, I want them to treat me as if I were their direct sponsor. Why?
A lot of the CSA's you get probably will not be active, but every now and then, you will get a few that are motivated and willing to learn. If their Sponsor gives little support or none at all, then what will most likely end up happening is they will turn their back on SFI, and rightfully so. However, if you offer your support and treat them like PSA's, they might turn out to be active and thus will start earning you valuable commissions. The direct commissions on CSA's are not as fruitful as PSA's, but the VP Matching Bonus counts just the same. You should put their VP in high regard for your business.
In short, whether an affiliate is a PSA or CSA, it doesn't matter. They all end up helping your business grow and must be treated alike.

Co-Sponsored Affiliates are equally important and they deserve the care from their up line. However, just like what you said, there is likelihood that they will be overwhelmed with the number of emails or information overload.
I am very cautious when dealing with my CSAs because some of them have existing Sponsors. So I only send them a short note to say I am their "team mate" at SFI and I am willing to answer any questions that they may have regarding SFI. Most often than not, I get a reply.
You have the option of communicating with your co-sponsor and work as a team.
I find it interesting too that I am receiving a lot of emails from CSAs through my private email. Sometimes more emails from CSAs than from my PSAs. I used my private email so it will be more personalized and I can type more than 2000 characters.
If you want to zoom in to specific group of CSAs you can use the Genealogy filtering system and then send them a TeamMail.

For this question i would like to share my experience.
I will have to treat CSAs more careful because unlike PSAs the CSAs you win or get through second home might be more experienced and senior to you.
So i use separate mailings(CSA's mailer) to send mails to them. The contents will not be same as sending to PSA's. The Information you provide must not only the basics of the program. It should be more than that and taking their business to the next level.
I treat both PSA's and CSA's important because it is my business and i have to treat everyone same. I can't treat people differently on the basis of profit they are making to me.
The proof for this is I get more ratings from CSA's than PSA's.

When you start your business with SFI, they inform you not to send to many messages to the CSA's but unfortunatety the sponsors are not in always in contact with their team and sometimes don't have contact at all and that is why it is necessary to send all the information that you would send your PSA's to the CSA's as well.
You will find that your CSA's are sometimes more active than your PSA's and they do need the same type of encouragement to make their business a success.
I send the same information to my CSA's as i do to my PSA's like about pricebenders, leadership page, tcredits,w3 renewal etc.
My concept is simple "Treat CSA and PSA equally".
And the reasons for that are:-
1. Although the commissions earned through a CSA is less as compared to OSA but we all know that we can get hundreds of CSA's easily but the same no. of PSA's are really hard to get.Thus we can say that the majority of our team consists of CSA , so it is important to pay them equal attention as PSA.
2.I help and respond CSA's as equal to my PSA's and my rewards , contests are same for them,and thus i am getting almost equal commissions from CSA's and PSA's.

I send Team Mail to everyone, PSA or CSA. My sponsor has only contacted me once or twice since I have been here, even not answering when I asked for her advice. I learned from this that many sponsors never contact their downline.
I had a CSA contact me because I had given him some TCredits when he made Executive Affiliate. I told him that I would be giving him a gift certificate at the beginning of the month so that he could either get IAHBE or something else to help him have 1500 VP because he had worked very hard. He was so thankful about the TCredits, but I could see that he was going to do well. He cashed in the gift certificate this month and he is now a Bronze Team Leader. I gave him more TCredits. I will continue to give them for rank.
I had five people last month who made EA and I sent them all a gift certificate for $30, which would cover IAHBE and/or go a long way toward obtaining their EA2 status this month. I only had 2 people cash them in. I gave them 5 days to do so. One was my daughter, a PSA, and one was my CSA. The others have been online this month but either didn't want the gift or don't want to work or whatever. Their loss!
We have many questions in the Forum about changing sponsors. Perhaps some of the people who want to change sponsors are our CSAs. Perhaps they will have their sponsor release them and they will want us to be their new sponsor. If that is the case then we have gotten a good new PSA. If they don't want to go through changing, we still make money from them, so we want to encourage them in any way possible. Keep ALL of your team members happy and you will see it in your earnings!
