If your sponsor is non-responsive all you need to do is continue to do your business. Even though we have sponsors, not all of them will respond to us. SFI is our business and we need to treat it that way. We need to have an intrinsic motivation in order to be successful. If we are only motivated when our sponsors are responsive then we will not make it in this business.

When we have non-responsive sponsors there are other means by which we will be assisted. Remember that SFI is a global

While many might find this such a huge disappointment it is not hard to get around.

SFI is already aware that there is much to learn so as well as the excellent resources like the launchpad and basics it has many other ways of helping us. One is the sponsoring and co-sponsors but remember it is only one method and please do not give up if one seems weak.

SFI is really strong and it shows! Where? Ask SC is a great resource for other people's views on what works well and what

I'll start by saying that you don't need a sponsor's aid to be sucessful in Sfi. I can tell that all the necessary tool you need to excel are made readily available for you,it only takes a literal understanding to move forward.
We all have our level of understanding.Most people need a helping hand to tell them what to do,while others are quick to grab at a twinkle of an eye.
Moreover, you have the forum,A2A friend and support to assist you each time you find things difficult to understand

Firstly, when joining, you expect all the help you can get especially from your allocated sponsor and co sponsor.
When neither of these respond, all affiliates, new and old should be encouraged to use the forum.
This is where I learned a lot, and am still learning. Although I do not post, I have read many questions/concerns which I too had.
Also, A2A is a wonderful way of getting assistance. Especially if the A2A affiliate is fluent in your language.

Remember, your sponsor

Hello sir,


Firstly think back and ask yourself why you joined this wonderful sfi. You definitely must be having a goal to achieve. To achive your goal, you should make it your best to overcome all barriers and excuses. Dont forget that your sponsor might also be new so we shouldnt depend entirely on the sponsor, u can express your queries with your a2a friends or your co sponsors.

Secondly you should always take this business as your own as if you are the boss and

If you want to question straight and direct about a non-responsive Sponsor, the answer is plain and clear. Primarily, an affiliate should not shape his career in SFI by looking at his Sponsor who is responsive or non-responsive. One should have clear plans and strategy about his own career growth and should move on accordingly.
Yes, it is always good if we get a good and responsive sponsor during our journey in SFI but it should not be the deterrent towards our growth. There are many other

This is something really frustrating if you are an active affiliate and want to do your best.

How many of us have a ton of inactive affiliates that do nothing with the program, that never log in and do the tasks and don't reply to our messages of support and encouragement? How many times do we see on the forum, ASK SC, the problem of inactive affiliates?

So if you are a proactive affiliate how frustrating is it when you "sponsor" does nothing to help or encourage you

Try to be cool all the time as much as possible.

First: Accept the fact that some spomsors are non-responsive.

My experience as an affiliate, you either learn by yourself in a harder way, or read the topics FAQs with SFI support menu, or Training materials at hands. You would be surprised to know that your sponsors may not have the answers to your problems at all. My experiences are these I learned from mistakes, in SFI system, you have to be smart to read and learn from the Topics FAQs rather than depends on your sponsor's helps if they are not responsive to you. Don't be disappointed, this is your business,

If your sponsor is non-responsive then it looks like you have to be the boss. Just like anywhere else in life someone has to take charge for things to work and who better than yourself to do it. Sometimes there are persons who are very good at some things (such as recruitment, passing out fliers, funding the program, etc.) and terrible at other things (such as communication with their down-line members). I say, that's OK, if you don't want to do it, then I will. One area that I am particularly bad
