Of course, there is so much for newbies to learn but I usually just stick with the basics:

"I can help you reach your goals. I know why you joined SFI. I want to see your dreams come true. So why don't you take the time right now to send me a commitment letter. You'll earn 10 VPs and I will support you 150%

When you sponsor an affiliate remember:

1. Get them on the Fast Track - 500 vps in 24hrs - 200 vps bonus.

2. Get them to EA in the 1st month

It is easy for a new PSA to get overwhelmed by all the materials to read especially when one does not have the habit of reading. Based on my own experience, I think the best tip for a new PSA is a step-by-step guide for her to do on a daily basis. Work with her. Send her a short reminder daily.

1st, inform her that on her first 24-hours she can gain an additional 200 VersaPoints when she can reach 500VPs by simply logging in her Homepage and click on the “START” Button

Hello All,

For me, the best advice I could give my new PSA are the following:

Click on the Gray Start button at the top right of the page. This will show you how to get Started.

Click on the Blue Basic button at the top right of the page. This is your Guide to follow to be able to earn an income.

Click on the Green Launch Pad button at the top right of the page. This is going to give you a break-down and a description about SFI and Tripleclicks to help

Thanks Laley!

We should all be able to answer this because it should be the first thing on our mind when we get our new recruit notification.

I tell all my new recruits to go at a pace that is comfortable to them. Don't rush after those Versapoints to achieve BTL when they have no team to lead. VP are like gold dust and treat them as such. They should be aiming for their Fast-Track to get those valuable bonus VP because, as I mentioned before, VP are like gold dust here. Once

The first thing that you don't want your new PSA to miss is their opportunity to be a fast tracker. This only comes within the first 24 hours after joining SFI. Being a fast tracker has a mutual benefits to your new PSA and to you as sponsor.

The next thing that they should know immediately are the sources of earnings in SFI. This is very important because that is their main purpose of joining. Of course you can point them to the compensation plan BUT you must be able to explain in their

To get started i would ask my PSA to go through SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD which they can find on Top Right corner of Affiliate center.
Versapoint (or VP) - They determine your country, class and power rank. The points you earn for doing these actions accumulate, you increase your payouts and perks.
One very important suggestion for PSA is that score 500 VPs within first 24 Hrs of sign up and for scoring that they will get extra 200 VP with a fast track Badge.PSAs can also score Versapoints(VPs)

The first tip I give to my new PSAs is to not start too fast. Many new affiliates see the to-do list, and think it's a race to earn as many VP as possible, as fast as possible.

It isn't.

Many of the one-time actions are things that need to be worked through slowly, taking time to read and absorb the information. If you just speed read them, and then claim the VP, you are likely to miss out on important training.

I'm not suggesting that new affiliates shouldn't aim

Since you’re asking for the first/best tip that I always send to my PSAs to help them get started after I sending a Welcome message to them, here are the contents of my best tip:

1. Watch for the video of getting started with SFI created by Gery.
https://www.sfimg.com/start/
Most people can easily understand and learned new things when they viewed through video, because they can replay many times until they acquired the whole concept.

2. Check your VersaPoint

The first place I send my PSAs when they get started is to Gery's video on the start page. This explains SFI in the most basic form.

After the video on the start page, I tell my affiliates to read the SFI Basics page, then do their first Launchpad lesson.

After these things are done, I encourage my PSAs to check their To-Do List. I walk them through the daily actions visiting each of the tabs on the homepage, then encourage them to do the first few things on the Getting Started
