This my experience the best way to get positive support and assistance is contact SFI Support.
Also your sponsor or co-sponsor and team leader who will be happy to provide more than the support you need.
a2a friends are basically not for support. But still if you think you can gather important information from a2a friends then you can message your a2a friend and if he/she is willing to help you then they will reply you as soon as they get your message. Sometimes a2a friends can ask for help and support. Then you should do whatever it takes to help them.
Four point below...............
1.First, not all friends are equal. There will be those who do nothing and there will be top affiliates. You need to make sure to connect with the right peoples.
2.A2A friends can be a great source for positive support, assistance and insights to help you grow your SFI business. I recommend sending a2a friend requests to top sponsors and power rank leaders worldwide, in your country as well as your class.
3.specially those who do not have responsive and helpful sponsors. A2A is an awesome community of like-minded SFI affiliates. It allows you connect with top performers who can provide their best of knowledge and share experience.
4.Once you have connections and know each other. You can share your experience with each other. There are lot of options for you search the right peoples with similar experience when you go to A2A tab. Etc .......
I believe there is always a bonus to positive comments, support, and assistance. Big or small it is still a vital asset to any relationship social, intimate, or business.
Friends always think positive and explain to downline positively.
Remember, we all are trying to reach the same place and achieve the same goal.

Your question is a good one as being a member of SFI and being successful with SFI is based on learing not only from SFI but also from fellow affiliates through communication. A2A is most certainly one way to communicate with others about SFI and share strategies for success.

This question inquires about how to get A2A friends to offer positive support and assistance...well, it has proven through my experience that positive support and assistance needs to start with me. So I would encourage you to consider what behaviours have you shown to others that have been helpful, positive, and supportive.

Another consideration is to think about what your expectations are for support and assistance. Every affiliate has a need(s) and what may be your expectation for support and assistance may not be the same for another affiliate so it is also important to directly communicate with others through A2A about what is needed for their business to become strong and successful.

Support and assistance is a key with being successful with SFI and a better understanding of what this is, what it looks like, and what is expected for this best understood by modelling what it means to you so that other affiliates can simply follow your lead.

Success and support is not only in the hands of SFI, affiliates but also yours too.

Excellent!

You will initially establish a cordial relationship with your a2a friends, before seeking any support or advice. See whether your a2a friend is generous enough to offer any sort of assistance. Some a2a friends may be open to share their views or experiences with you. Others may offer lip sympathy, but may be reluctant to give you any positive support.

Once a proper relationship is established and once you have identified your a2a friends who would be helpful, you can seek advice or support by specifying your issue that needs to be settled.

The successful and experienced a2a friends of yours will definitely share their experiences and will guide you on the path of success.

New affiliates at SFI will find their a2a friends as a very rich resource, which they can tap with immense benefit, if they can only locate suitable ones among them.

Hope this answer is helpful.

A2A friends are people and will behave like any other friends.

Just keep a good relation by being in contact with them. Don’t just shoot a question and expect their assistance if you have never exchanged a word before. Is not nice and it is not very polite. Still, some will respond but lots will not.

So, maintain a good relation with your A2A friends by exchanging messages and/or by recognising and congratulating their achievements through personal messages or stream posts.

Persons to whom you are close are more likely to offer their positive support and assistance when you ask for it.

Just ask, my friend...Just ask!

I have yet to come across anyone in a2a who hasn't been positive and supportive whether I am in their downline or not. I think you will find most people in a2a are. After all...why join a2a if not to gain inspiration & knowledge from others in SFI and therefore able to pass that inspiration & knowledge along.

Remember..joining a2a is not a requirement to get VersaPoints or any other monetary linked bonus. It is there to compliment all the other helpful tools here.

The best advice I can give to you is to befriend those you notice have a lot of insight into this business and are regularly participating in the forum and in Ask SC. You can go to anyone's profile page and so request to be their a2a friend from almost anywhere: The Forum, Ask SC(once their identities are revealed) or you can look through the suggestions at a2a.

Of course, the day will come when others seek you out for some inspiration or positive advice and it will be your duty to do as your predecessors once did for you. I say "duty" but I am sure you will gladly help those who ask.

This has been my experience in a2a and I am very glad I joined.

I hope this has been of some help to you and I wish you a successful career here at SFI!

I think that you need to start communicating with your a2a friends by getting to know them first. Then when you feel that you all have a connection you can then ask them questions.

I personally have never hear from my Sponsor after many attempts.

I turned to my a2a friends. If it were not for my a2a friends I would not have been able to succeed in SFI. My friends helped me, guided me, support me in my achievements and encourage me everyday.

I would have been lost with out the awesome friends I have met through the a2a.

Like I said at the beginning You have to become friends before you can expect support and assistance.

You must also in return do the same for them as they do for you. Duplication

Sometimes I don't get a response from someone that I have tried to communicate with, but I didn't give up and they did respond to me. It was kind of negative at first, but I thought maybe that person was having a bad day. So I tried again and received a positive response and communication with them has been good ever since.

Just remember we all speak different languages and some people may not understand our friendly forwardness here in the United States.

I personally have friends from many different countries and I enjoy getting to talk to them.

I believe a2a is a great way for the whole world to communicate with each other in a positive and supportive way.

Hope my experience encourages everyone to participate.

Have a Blessed day!

To get your a2a friends to offer positive support we have to do the following

1. Be a friend, get to know your a2a friends.

2. Always be positive when offering support and suggestions also.

3. We need to commend/congratulate them for example winning T-Time, Daily Grand or achieving EA, EA2, BTL etc

4. A;ways respond to their questions promptly.

5. Be visible so they know they can call on you whenever they need help and they in turn will make themselves available to offer support and suggestions when you need it.

Hope those few suggestion help

Just like the old proverb saying : Don't judge the book by its cover.

SFI has provided us with many fellow affiliates. They can be newbies. Like the above proverb, we can not underestimate our new friends. We can not judge them to be less knowledgeable than us. Who knows that they may have learned more than we have. Their knowledge is valuable for us. Their experience, though they are quite new, may be useful for us. Who knows that they may provide us with great help and assistance in any kinds of things we don't understand yet.

Also, we are provided with long-time affiliates. We can learn from them. We can learn from their experience, especially who have achieved higher levels and Team Leaders.

Now how to get benefits from our a2a friends? Just ask them any queries you don't know. Ask them politely to share their experience in certain areas. I think if you ask them politely and if they are actively log into SFI, they will be pleased to share their experience and knowledge.

Keep up the great work...to your success!
