If you have PSAs and you are new to SFI, I would recommend redirecting your PSAs questions to your upline,SFI support, Forum or A2A. Turn to people in SFI community who have experience. It is only good to give advice to your downline, if you are 100% sure on it.

You want to pass on true and correct information to them, because you want your whole team to succeed. It may take some time to learn and understand the core of SFI business and then become a good adviser.

I like this question. There are many answers to this question, Depending on one's perspective, the answer likely may be slightly different. With that being said, I will try to provide the most helpful universal answer and be as objective as possible.

SFI is all about affiliates helping affiliates or each other help each other daily. At one point, everyone one of us was new to SFI and all received some sort of guidance likely. Very likely too it came from someone whom maybe did not know the answer right off the bat, as well. Just because you are new to SFI does not mean you can't advise another PSA whom is also new to SFI.

Many affiliates may be new to SFI but are not new to the business. It really depends on what level of experience one is at in this type of business to how they may advise another new PSA. The easy answer is all the resources to help another is out there for consumption. Meaning, if you are asked a question by a PSA in your downline I presume and you do not know the answer, you can go find it relatively quickly and easily too. Just because you may not know answer of hand, does not mean you can't be valuable to that PSA and go after it and come back with the very best answer and advice when you do find it.

This is a WIN/WIN for you and the PSA and SFI for that matter. You learn, you duplicate what you learn to your PSA, SFI gains as that is two more knowledgeable affiliates following the process. We all win. We all should be advising others more than ourself. So, if you don't have an answer and you are new, your PSA is new, that is a perfect time than any or better time to go find the answer and provide the advise.

Use your SFI resources to find the answer. Use the:

Affiliate center
Training area
Launch pad
iAHBE
A2A Friends
TripleClicks and SFI FAQ and support
Your up line
The SFI Forum
ASK SC archive

The list can go on and on.

Communicate with the PSA whom is asking for advice, understand clearly first what they are asking of you to advise on and take the bull by the horns and use your SFI resources and know how and go find the best answer or solution that will satisfy there problem and also provide you with something new as well. Then keep advising others whom ask for it or if you are sponsor or team lead offer it as that is what makes a leader and soon you will be a expert merely because you took the initiative to help another when you yourself did not know the answer. Both are better affiliates and both are better off.

I hope this was not too off the beaten path and provides value for you. Good luck and be prosperous.

A very good question indeed!

The first impression of the web site for new affiliates can be very confusing. A lot to read and to assimilate!

I create a document where I make use of screen shots to show the affiliate exactly where to go to earn VP's. For instance how to get to the VP Ledger Board, where they see the "starting-up", "Daily" "weekly" and "monthly" tasks. This way it is not so difficult for them to navigate their way around the web page and get them going. The moment they see the points coming in, they become more confident.

I hope this will help, because it definitely helped my affiliates.

Good questions. To me the answer it's simple - "Let's do it together" I can say proudly with my best affiliates and friends in SFI we are together until today - 3 people - 2 CSA and 1 PSA. In the beginning people need more support and in the middle of process they need to feel together in something right for them with right people in it. In the end of process all the people say "We did it together" and it's not so important if you're just started or you're advanced. The most important is to do the things with people on your wave in business and life.

The best advise and help that you can give to your new PSA when you yourself are new is to go on conveying whatever you learn & whatever advice you receive from your upline.
Since you are also new,it is possible that your PSA acquires more knowledge than you. So whenever that PSA asks for clarifications regarding any point,please be careful in informing him because it is possible that you may not also be knowing it. If you also have doubt,contact your upline or forum to get the correct answer.

It is important for you to understand that the moment you decide to become a sponsor of a PSA you are assuming the role of a LEADER.Hence there will be expectations about you from your PSA,even if you are also new to SFI. Hence you are not expected to give an excuse that you are new to SFI&that will have a considerable impact in their future dealings with you.The Moral of the story is that you need to prepare yourself to be a leader through lot of groundwork before you start sponsoring PSA's.If you are not still ready, postpone your sponsoring for a limited time&prepare yourself at the earliest.

Having said that i am not saying that you are expected to have answers for all the
doubts the affiliates have.You should be confident to handle all doubts pertaining to level up to which you have grown&immediate next level,as without knowing answers for that you wouldn't have grown to whatever level you have grown&the next level for which you are planning to grow.Also in cases you are not able to clarify fully,you should atleast be in a position to direct them to relvant&specific resource&not give them some general answers like" you will get it in SFI training resources" etc.Also it is not necessary you need to answer all&sundry doubts which may not be relevant for the affiliate for some time to come.Politely communicate that what he is asking for is not
of relevance to him at that point of time.

Clearly map the areas PSA needs to focus at that point of time ,communicate to him& prepare your best for that.As the affiliates grow ,you would have grown&should be fully prepared to handle matters relevant to that level.Pro-actively anticipate the likely
Queries from the affiliates&prepare yourself and grow your knowledge by recalling your experience,going through SFI& referring your Upline.

LEADERSHIP IS A RESPONSIBILITY,PREPARE YOURSELF FOR IT FROM THE BEGINNING&SHOULDER IT WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR IT.

This is such a good question! Something I'm sure most of us have had to consider. Here then are some of my thoughts:

We are always older in SFI than our PSAs, no matter how long after us they sign-up.

The worry that a PSA might ask a question we don't know the answer to
- let that motivate us to learn quickly but thoroughly
- let that motivate us to be super familiar with our SFI and TripleClicks webpages
- let that motivate us to wisely time when to start building our team

You don't need to know all the answers, you need to know where to find them ;)

The best way to advise new PSAs is to keep in contact with them. dont overwhelm them with to much information but send them information that you feel will be helpful to them. also and I think this is the most important thing , you have to be available to your downline you have to answer thier questions in a timely manner and if you dont know the answer you have a responsibility to investigate it and find out the answer for them. If you have bad habits your downline will have bad habits if you have good habits your downline willhave good habits. I hope this helps

Without even realising that I would very soon have my own downline, I used MS Onenote and copied and pasted any tips and all info that helped me from the very beginning. That served me well. When I got my first CSA's and then PSA's I had it all handy and knew it would also help them.
I continue doing this and refer back to all these notes regularly and I find answers to most questions in my pasted notes.

There is plenty of material for reading on SFI and on support groups. It is advisable to read as much is possible so you can forward your knowledge to your affiliates.
There is forum too, which is full of different topics which can help you build your business fast.
If you get question from affiliate on which you don't know answer, you can always ask or send him directly to someone from your's upline, they will probably know answer.

Remember and follow the rule: Readers are Leaders
