Hello Michael,

I suggest not to wait for your sponsor... It is your business, this depends on you mainly not on your sponsor. So, if your goal is to become successfull it is better to work instead of wait... What to do?

I suggest to use the great opportunity what SFI prepared for us at our web-office.
It is a great and free training course... we should just use that: read and learn...
again read and learn... important to understand: what is it and how is it work for us?
As I mentioned reading and learning are important but it is not enough. We have to apply the knowledge in our own practice... and be with patience...

And what to do if we have questions, we need support and we have a non-responsive sponsor?
1. DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR SPONSOR!
2. ASK your co-sponsor!
3. Ask your Upline sponsors!
4. Ask your A2A Friends!
5. Ask your Fellow Affiliates at the Forum!
6. Ask SFI Community at Ask SC, as you did now!
7. Please do not wait and do not expect too much! I am sure you will receive a lot of advice and suggestions... Accept which is acceptable for you and try it! Do your best! Take your knowledge to the practice!
Be happy! Enjoy this beautiful life! Use this great opportuinty!
Thanks for your attention. Wish you all the best!

Thats a pretty cool question. I am one of the Victims here. My sponsor is a heavy heater (Top en roller) His work is just to enroll people and not bother how they will find there way to growth. I like what Gerry says, Its not the number of the Affiliates but the quality. Honestly, SFI has all kinds of sponsors, those who value quality and those who value quantity

Now the way the system is built in SFI it doesn't really need a sponsor to make someone successful but it needs quality time to study and practice. A sponsor can only help a new affiliate clear the dust and make a few commissions faster and efficiently but he will not make you build your business
SFI has so much staff and your sponsor has already gone through them , he understands them and can give you a sense of direction, by the time you will be knowing about submitting a ticket, you will not have given up. Therefore the role of a sponsor can not be ignored but at the same time do not think that the sponsor is your savior.
I have studied SFI system and I have seen with or without sponsor, money and hurry, anyone can succeed and make a descent living income even more than other professionals.

You only need to follow the basics, stay within the system and stop falling prey to scams that will dishearten you.
Work with realistic goals and ensure if the worst becomes the worst you either sponsor one ECA or ensure one PSA becomes an EA2 monthly, then you will see success come your way

Enjoy your Online business
Kind regards

I know it can be disappointing to find that your sponsor and co-sponsor are not there for you. It could be because they are almost as new at this business as you are and don't know how to help you. Some affiliates may have other businesses that distract them from their SFI duties and still others may have become so successful at SFI that they don't have the time or the inclination to train new affiliates. But don't worry! That's what the Forum and ASK SC are for.

Most of the questions you will have at the beginning are covered in those two sections and also in the SFI Basics and Launchpad lessons. Moreover, the Daily, Weekly and Monthly actions on your homepage (red tabs) are also an important source of information because from simple every day repetition comes a wealth of knowledge and understanding.

You are the captain of your own ship here at SFI, so if you do not have an Admiral to guide you or a first mate to help you, it shouldn't affect the outcome of this new adventure you are embarking upon. You are here because you decided it was time to take control of your destiny, so here is your chance. Study, search for answers and ask as many questions as you need. There are many friendly affiliates here at SFI who are ready, willing and able to help you.

Your strength and determination come from within, so don't ever let any negative outside forces or circumstances steer you away from your dreams.

In my opinion, the sponsor is quite an important one, especially for those who have their first encounter with internet marketing. But on the other hand, the role of the sponsor is, I think, a bit overrated.

I often remember the observation of a very experienced internet marketer - he was very thankful to his sponsor when he started with this job, because his sponsor was not too much help to him, but he was not an obstacle to his further progress. That's why I even laughed a little when I saw this question.

My point is as follows - sponsor is there to help and direct. But, it often happens that the sponsor does not have much more experience than his PSA. So it might be better if he/she is not responsive.

If the sponsor is not active, he doesn’t send you a welcome letter, doesn’t send the team e-mail, there is no guidance from his part, does not respond even to your direct questions - well, it's not the end of the world. The fundamental question is: Do you want to do this job or not? If the answer is yes, and you have a sponsor only on paper, ok. It just means that you have to trust more in yourself, and you have to read and learn. A lot of. For all that, you have at your disposal:

- An invaluable knowledge base that SFI there.

- Your entire upline if the sponsor does not respond, there is always someone in the hierarchy above him, who is willing to help.

- There are support groups are organized just by those people from your upline.

- Go to the forum, there is always someone willing and open to help.

- Read. On the official website of SFI there so many good explanations.

- Read and evaluate the answers to ASK SC, with it you can get more chances in the Daily Grand Drawing.

Thanks.

Sponsors and Co-Sponsors are there to guide affiliates to help build up their SFI business and answer their questions. I believe 90 percent is our personal effort. However some affiliates will need help to start off their SFI business. This is mostly the case when they need their sponsors most to guide them in the initial stages. So the problem which some of the affiliates face is non-responsive sponsors.

There are several avenues for affiliates to seek help if their sponsors are non-responsive. These avenues include (1) Forum, (2) Support, (3) Ask SC , (4) SFI FAQ, (5) A2A Friends, (6) Launchpad and (7) Search Box.

(1) FORUM
The SFI Forum provides a quick and easy way to answer your questions and doubts. Good answers can be obtained from the many helpful affiliates and Team Leaders many of whom have been successful in building up their SFI business. Every affiliate should make it a point to visit the forum everyday to clear their doubts and learn the skills required to build up their SFI business. You need to learn as much as you can and pass on the knowledge to your downline.

(2) SUPPORT
The SFI Support provides a wealth of needed information. Support has a list of Glossary Definitions. Go through these definitions as most of your answers can be found here. There is a “box” at Support page to enter a keyword or type your question here for instant answers. A link to submit a ticket will be included with the answers. If the answers are not found use the Ticket to type in your questions and submit the ticket to Support.

(3) ASK SC
There is a wealth of answers to many of your questions at Ask SC. Read the top answers and you can get valuable tips which help to build your SFI business. Participate by answering the questions at Ask SC and in the process you might be able to find the answers you are looking for.

(4) SFI FAQ
There are valuable resources at SFI “frequently asked questions”. Many of your answers can be found there. These are important resources to help you build your SFI business and new affiliates should make it a point to go through some of these questions regularly. For starters the relevant FAQs are Getting Started FAQs, Commissions/Getting Paid FAQs and TripleClicks FAQs

(5) A2A FRIENDS
Connect with friends at A2A especially those experienced Team Leaders. They can provide you with valuable input. You can exchange messages with any of them. You can brainstorm and discuss relevant topics and clear your doubts. A2A also provides LOCALIZED assistance by connecting with SFI affiliates in your area.

(6) LAUNCHPAD
The Launchpad provides affiliates with a strong foundation. Many valuable resources can be found here. Reading the resources frequently can provide many of the answers to the common questions.

(7) SEARCH BOX
Make use of the Search Box at the Affiliate Centre by typing your keywords in the box and you will be directed to the topic you are looking for and many answers to your questions can be found there.

To conclude I urge all affiliates to take advantage of the above resources to get answers to your questions and help build your SFI Business. Non-responsive sponsors should never be a handicap to anybody.

One of the things that I have discovered that I love about SFI is that no one person determines the success of anyone else. My success is my own creation.

SFI has sponsors as a way of helping each affiliate "find their way." Just in case the individual sponsor doesn't have all the answers, SFI also allows a co-sponsor, to assist in our growth. In case the sponsor & co-sponsor are non-responsive, individuals also the ability to come to their upline - 6 more people to help.

Just in case your sponsor, co-sponsor, and ALL of your upline are non-responsive - SFI also allows for A2A associations. The A2A association now allows unlimited individuals to provide assistance.

So, what should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive? That is easy, don't fret, you can still be successful with all the other people that can help. Hope that helps.

Irony of Life. I am praying daily for my downlines to ask me all the time but few does.
Well if this situation occurs, the affiliate would need to do the following:

(1)Make use of the A2A, ask to be friends with some of the high flyers (like newest E365 Champion)in SFI, they always showcase them on the Global Growth Report Page (go to TO-DO-LIST and click on Growth tab), they have got the wealth of experience in the business and are highly motivated and hard working individuals-check it out here https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=growth

(2) SFI is full of valuable resource to help the affiliate in so many other areas for example-affiliate tips page- check it out here: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AffiliateTips

(3) Finally the affiliate can go to SFI Affiliate Centre - Support. Check it out here: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/

With the above three points in mind, a hard working affiliate with a little patience could just do without a non responsive Co-sponsor or a Sponsor and still be a huge success.
So if you are one out there I believe strongly that if you use my three tips above you could very well do without a sponsor.

Thank You, and I am using this medium to say A HAPPY NEW YEAR to all SFI and Tripleclicks members.

Hi there -

This is in fact a sore subject and unfortunately it does happen too frequently.
It's a first impression that be quite misleading. But then again, I personally
don't get many requests or notification from my new PSA's.

As a new affiliate it's extremely important to take the initiative by themselves.
The guidelines are clearly outlined by SFI and once the sponsor sees activity, the sponsor will be there.

Once the new affiliate gets a bit comfortable he/she will find their way to the FORUM.
It's a good way to learn and get unanswered questions problems resolved.

An affiliate should though first go through the TABS on their homepage and study
and when then questions arise or something is not completely understood, then ask for clarification in the Forum.

If the sponsor hasn't been in touch within 2 weeks time, then the best thing to do
is not to get discouraged with this new endeavor but to push oneself a bit harder.

Forum and a2a are there as supporting stations. If one is really serious, a non-responsive sponsor should not be a reason to think this is a bad set-up. There are hundreds of willing people trying to help.

And as I hope this has helped a bit as well.

Affiliates,unfortunately,always face some barriers during their effort to understand how SFI works. Some of them have a tight budget, some are misundersood from their life partners, some have language barriers,some have sponsors that want to help but they don't know how because they are quite new in this job,also.
So,having an unresponsive sponsor shouldn't be a problem here. You are given free training and a large archive of information.
-Go through SFI BASICS to understand the basic principles of this job
-Read SFI Rules of Success
-Read carefully LaunchPad lessons
-Search the ASK SC questions and answers
-Contact your upline and co-sponsor
-Friend A2A affiliates, especially from your country who can help you explain something you want
in your language
-Read the best tips of various successful affiliates
I would also recommend you to watch the video of the best rated sponsor in SFI-Fabrizio Perroti to see how he suggests the basic steps in SFI job during the first six months.
Every month you rate your sponsor so, have in mind the lack of his assistence when rating.
When you become a team leader, remember what guidance and help you was deprived of.
