It is quite sample, like anyone else, an affiliate should take care of himself.

Even if the sponsor is non-responsive,an affiliate can succeed if really want to..

An affiliate can use:
-the upline ( https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/upline );
-the forum ( https://www.sfimg.com/forum );
-the a2a friends ( https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=a2a );
-Support ( https://www.sfimg.com/Support/ );
-the entire SFI site ( https://www.sfimg.com )

The information

This is the other side of the coin to the unresponsive affiliate.

An affiliate with an unresponsive sponsor has two choices: to opt out and rejoin after 6 months under another sponsor; or to tough it out with an unresponsive and unsupportive sponsor.

If he choose the former, then he will lose valuable time and money and perhaps motivation to make something out of himself and a free opportunity to be financially free.

If he decides to tough it out with an unresponsive

Hi Michael,

What I do know, having been part of another MLM business, is that for you to be successful in your business, you have to take control. You have to make it your business to learn everything about the company you have joined. Do not get into the habit of relying on your Sponsor to guide your way.

I would like to share the following quote:

If you are going to be successful, you must find a way to succeed. While my sponsor did answer my simple 1 or 2 questions when I started, it was enough for me to realize that this program was for real.

Instead of burdening my Sponsor with my endless questions, I realized most if not all the answers were here on the SFI site and most importantly in the SFI Forum. Not to mention I could ask questions in the forum and receive a multitude of answers very quickly and not just 1 answer from

So many persons are deterred by the unresponsiveness of their sponsor. What can an affiliate do if he has an unresponsive sponsor? Before I try to answer this question, I am taking the liberty to pose some questions to an affiliate who may be experiencing an unresponsive sponsor.
1. Have you ever thought about or operate a business before you connected with SFI?
2. Did you depend on someone to instruct you throughout your business? Or, did you just do your business independently of others?
3.

Hey there Michael,

In answer to your question, "What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?"

Please take my answer exactly as stated.

First, learn from what you desire from a sponsor. You know what it feels like not to get the answers you seek. Therefore, don't YOU go "non-responsive" to those in your Team!

Second, I think in this manner. I actually don't need a sponsor to assist me. Why? Because I look upon SFI as

I am lucky that I haven't had this problem of an unresponsive sponsor. I believe that a large majority of sponsors who are interested in making it big at SFI are not just responsive but are also very supportive of their downline.

Having said that, I think if any sponsor is non-responsive, it could be so because of the number of affiliates in the sponsor's downline being too large to handle on an individual basis, within the time available at the disposal of the sponsor.

If an affiliate have a non-responsive sponsor..there is actually no need for alarm.

It is a part of the business to either have a responsive or non-responsive sponsor. And that is why SFI have provide other alternative that will indeed keep you going and make you excel in the business if at all you work in accordance with it.

Besides your sponsor,you also have your up lines to contact when you need assistance,your a2a friends could also help out,you may also visit the forum

Hello Michael,

Although many of us have sponsors that don't initiate communication or even respond to question from their PSAs and CSAs SFI has put in place a great system for everyone to find answers to any questions we have. Ask SC is just one example.

You can also go to the forum or a2a friends, your upline higher than your sponsor, Launchpad, the lessons in training and many other places to get what you need. If your question is of a technical nature there is support.

Send your sponsor a message and be honest about how you feel about the lack of support and give low rating if nothing change.
That is all you can do about that, but most important:

SFI is your own business.
It is your own time, money and efforts that will lead to success.
If you are lucky and have a good sponsor then it is a bonus, but SFI website contains so much valuable information so a non-responsive sponsor is not a reason to fail building your OWN business.
