Having a non-responsive sponsor would sometimes gives us a negative thoughts. Thoughts like: from our own sweats, they make money. That we are spending lots of efforts and they benefited without even a single word from them.
But in some cases, there are also reasons why a certain sponsor is non-responsive. One of these maybe: he had you a few days after he/she entered SFI. And that he/she in his/her case is still in the process of learning SFI just like you.

And so, i suggest:
* Contact your co-sponsor or anyone in your upline.
*Make a2a friends with any other affiliates whom you think might help you especially successful affiliates in your area.
*Submit a support ticket whenever you have something in you that bothers you a lot.
*Read answers in your ask sc tab. There might be questions same as you have in mind submitted.
*Visit forum and learn.
*Lastly, read and review all training tools and articles provided by SFI in your homepage area. You can start with the getting started button, sfi basics and the launchpad.

I know you will be successful in the near future. Just believe that you can! And you can!

Regards.

It is very simple.

We joined SFI to make some money by working from home independently. We never knew that we will get a sponsor to guide us on every step.

So it is our responsibility to learn everything by reading all the training step-by-step. If your sponsor is not responding, just forget him. You didn't join for your sponsor.

When I joined SFI, I never contacted my sponsor till I qualified EA!!! Therefore, it doesn't matter whether your sponsor is responsive or not.

There are various quality help available for you on Affiliate Center.

* Forum
* SFI Support ticket
* A2A friends
* Ask SC

And over and above that, all the self-learning training material.

You cannot ask anything more than this to go ahead in this business.

I'm sure this will help you.

Cheers!

When I started in SFI my Sponsor never contacted me. I heard NOTHING from her for about 3 months and still hear very little from her. I did go to my Co-Sponsor and got some help from him, however I guess he lost his Ea status, because I ended up with a new Co-Sponsor.
What I did do is READ. Everything I could find in SFI. The forums, Ask SC, SFI news, anything I could find. I did start to figure things out on my own and now I seam to be doing pretty good. My commissions are paying for my standing order every month and I now have almost 1000 affiliates under me.
I try to answer ALL their questions as soon as I get them so they don't have to go through what I did.
So, to answer your question,"What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?" the same thing you should do anyway. READ and LEARN. This is "YOUR" business. You make it work.
Hope this helps. GOD Bless..

If your sponsor is non-responsive, don’t worry. Forget about him/her.

In the first place, you did not join SFI just because there is a sponsor. Yes, you might be recruited by a sponsor and not directly joined SFI, but you don’t depend on your sponsor to ensure success in your SFI business involvement. Your affiliate membership in SFI is not co-terminus with your sponsor, that is, either one of you can leave SFI at anytime and the remaining one stays.

Instead of depending on your sponsor’s help, these are the things you have to do in case of your non-responsive sponsor:

1.) When you are working on your PC, tablet or any device for your SFI business, concentrate. Concentration is necessary to focus your attention on what you are working on.

2.) Then click on “START” button in the upper right-hand corner of your SFI homepage, just below your photo. Read, understand and re-read again to gain retention of what you have read.

3.) Then click on “SFI BASICS” button and do the same thing as you did in item #2 above.

4.) Then click on “LAUNCHPAD” button and repeat what you have done in items 2 & 3 above.

5.) Click the “ALERT” tab to take you to the FORUM discussions. Click on each FORUM discussions, one at a time, and read the ongoing discussions thereat.

6.) Join the A2S Group, if you have not done so, to enable you to communicate with your selected affiliates at the time you need their help. Just like your non-responsive sponsor, any one of your A2A friends could be non-responsive, too. Therefore, you have to understand this scenario.

7.) When you are at the FORUM, take note of the things that you don’t know, or make a copy and paste action or “bookmark” the items discussed.

8.) Learn different ways to earn VPs and learn the different ways to generate TC sales. These are the 2 main topics that you need to concentrate on to boost your power ranking in SFI and be successful.

9.) Click on “SITEMAP” under the “REFERENCE” Tab of you SFI Homepage. It will provide you a comprehensive list of topics for your learning.

It is hoped that the above suggestions help.

It is a fact that everyone of us here registered voluntarily and we were not forced to signup to do these things we are doing. What I mean in relation to the above question is that affiliates must not expect too much to their sponsors since from the start they do not know each other. It is just the willingness of each other to fast track their achievement of success that keep them communicate with each other.

Situations like unresponsive sponsors really happen brought by language barrier especially so if the sponsors were adapted of their native language. So it is for the affiliate to understand if he finds that its sponsor does not answer its concern.

What is best that it can do is to take advantage of the FORUM, ASK SC, References, Sitemap, Training Menu, Launchpad and best is to ask the SFI - Tripleclicks support team to get precise answers to its concerns.

Remember that sponsors success depends from the success of its affiliates, so it is the burden of the sponsor to show its activeness to its affiliates. Downline can become more successful over sponsors here in SFI because it may set its streams of income faster than its upline.

Hi,
I saw this question a lot of times :)

Every new affiliate has wrong approach to their sponsor and upline.

Why?
They think their sponsor should work instead of them - as you see, WRONG approach.

If you join some program, and you want work - you can do it without your sponsor - just never give up. You have great support from Gary and from SFI Forum, you have Ask SC - a lot of good questions and even better answers. All you need is invest more of your time and START reading!

Read, learn, work and earn is my moto! Never give up, and you will soon become recognized as good worker and good leader.

First, know program better, second, learn more about internet marketing and start promoting. This is simple job - BUT YOU NEED TO WORK.

YOU will be paid for your work - NOT your sponsor. You can see that all is up to YOU - NOT your sponsor.

I hope I helped.

Wish you all the best,
Regards.

Here are a few things you can do if your sponsor is non-responsive.

1. Try contacting your co-sponsor
2. Try contacting others further up your genealogy line
3. Use the forum
4. Use your A2A friends
5. Use AskSC

Bottom line is this. There will always be people who are either unresponsive or simply do not care as much as you do in your genealogy. Don't let this deter your enthusiasm. If you're not getting what you need from your sponsor, there are hundreds of other active SFI members here and willing to help.

No one here does anything on their own. This is a team environment that only succeeds when we're all working together towards the same goal.

This is a good question. My answer is from personal experience. My sponsor quit before I joined SFI. I joined based on an ad that had set up for persons looking for for part-time work to supplement their income-exactly what I was looking for.

My first few days were spent reading. I read that I had to "stay above the green line", so stay above it I did. I had no one to explain how to obtain the first badge "Fast Track", so regrettably, missed out on this. But I persevered, from day to day, reading, learning, following through on assigned tasks. I did have questions for my co-sponsor, but this individual had started the same day I did, so we were both in the learning mode together, and therefore much of what I did was based on my own commitment to my individual success.

Luckily, I had previously been part of a management team of a "brick and mortar" business, so understood upfront, that successful businesses take time to build and to grow to success. I was not looking for a get rich quick scheme (also had my share of those...(ha ha).

I love the quote "If it's to be, it's up to me!" and have adhered to this along the way. I chose a2a friendships from reading successful affiliates "tips for success". I added SFI News to my browser so that I could readily access all information posted, and fervently read all information in the Forum. I created a scrap book of ASK SC questions, and copy and print any answers I feel would be helpful both to myself, and my team members.

Sponsors may be un-responsive, but that is not an excuse to GIVE UP on your dreams. Why not make it a challenge to succeed in spite of? You really don't have to go it alone...there is plenty of help available everywhere. Just tap into it! Flip side of the coin? Sponsors reach out, but also get no response! It has happened to me several times.

As Mr. Carson says, some will, some won't....next!

Hope this helps
Learning, Earning, and Having Fun along the way!

My take…? Never expect anyone to help you. This way, you will not get disappointed if no one came to your aid.

Why?
1. Because this is your business…not anybody else’s
2. Your success never depend on anyone but YOU
3. Yes, you were assigned a Sponsor or Co-Sponsor…but they might also be busy with their own business and other things. If they happen to have time and assisted you, fine…thank them for their time and be appreciative of any help from them, but never oblige them to give you much attention. You are not their only downline…they have other downlines, who may happen to be more active and who knows…

Never WORK or QUIT because of your Sponsor. Every decision that we make is solely our own, not because someone else gave us the reason to do so. I signed up here never expecting someone to help me. I didn’t even know that I would be assigned a Sponsor or Co-Sponsor or that I would have an upline team to help me out. I just read and understand all the trainings that were made available for all Affiliates to consume. Everything is there for the picking…we just have to chew and swallow everything to succeed here at SFI.

If your Sponsor is irresponsive…just show him/her that you are worth their attention and you will be surprised that all of a sudden, all your upline team support are all eyes on you. Sometimes, we expect others to help us while we are doing NOTHING. Always put in mind that if you want to earn something, you have to work hard for it. There’s no such thing as “overnight success”. And remember, there is always a reason for everything.

We still have all the SFI Trainings (LAUNCHPAD Lessons, SFI Basics, all those tabs in your To-Do-List, etc.), the a2a, FAQ, the Forum and other sources to help us. If you have budget and you love to read, subscribe to IAHBE…there’s a pool of information there that could help you a lot. You can even set it as your Standing Order (SO) to earn you EA status month after month. Use your ability. Have your own connections and one day success will be yours.

And when you have your own downline team, don’t let them feel how you felt when you were just starting. If you can afford to spend some moments guiding them, do it with all your heart and you will be blessed more. That’s all I’ve got to say and again, NEVER DEPEND ON or BLAME ANYONE for achieving SUCCESS…it all DEPENDS ON YOU!!! Keep smiling… ;-)

Kudos…!!!

Great question! Let me share with you my personal experience. Hope it helps your question! I joined SFI on 12/27/2012 (just completed first year) and unfortunately, I got no support and guidance from my sponsor nor from any single one from my whole up-line. But I did not quit as I understand the worth of this esteemed system so that I did continue reading all the training material on my own. Yes, I admit it was really hard for me to continue in first few days but I have learnt many great tips by visiting Forum, by reading this Ask SC section; however, its like reading books on your own without attending any proper classes, doing practicals, learning from an experienced teacher (a sponsor could be someone like an experienced teacher). One day, I sent mails to all who are in my up-line ... my first level sponsor has been disappeared from the very first month of joining, so he did not reply as expected, but the 3rd number of my sponsor did reply and give me some golden nuggets for my ego boost... and this was the time from where I never look back :) ... now I got a lot more badges on my shoulder (profile) than 5 level of my sponsors in up-line.... In a nutshell, if any affiliate unluckily finds his/her sponsors non-responsive, just try to wake them up first, they will respond you for sure because there is not only one sponsor in your up-line but there are many and one of them replies in reality. No scapegoating ... just be enthusiastic always ... success will kiss your feet soon ... try it ... believe in yourself...!!!
