Most important thing is to be there for them from the start. When you get notified you have a new PSA then immediately send them the welcome message and introduce yourself. Secondly is to answer any and all of their questions promptly. Never let a question go unanswered for more than 24 hours. also, whenever you get an SFI notice that one of your affiliates achieved something, send out a message congratulating them. Set up some sort of rewards program where you reward them for achievement such as

Always lead by example. Offer and provide support to you downline always. "Work with the workers" and never forget this critical principle. Complete your Leadership Page, and then keep it fresh by checking it at least weekly for needed updates and/or for adding new content. Send out a weekly newsletter to your entire downline and CSAs. You can use the group mailer in your Genealogy, the PSA Mailer, and/or CSA Mailer. Answer all e-mails you receive from your team members within 24 hours—sooner

1. Greet them when they arrive

2. Answer all their questions PROMPTLY and completely as soon as they are asked-be vigilant

3. Offer suggestions on all topics daily/weekly/monthly

4. If you have a few extra affiliates, reassign a few to give them someone to write memos to and learn to answer questions...but be there in the background as help

To become a good sponsor remember this:

1. You are their inspiration. You introduced the SFI/TripleClicks business model to them. They expect you to be the expert. Read and learn all you can to help your business partners. Lead by a good pattern of doing, achieving, and becoming.

2. Treat them they way you want to be treated. No one likes a hard sell! Instead offer assistance, answer their questions, and teach them to do what you do everyday to build your SFI business.

Always be there, show them that your doing what your asking them to do also like Daily, weekly, monthly, and 1 time task.
Always emailing your total downline every week like a sponsor should or a Team Leader should do. Letting them know you care about even there personal life and it's not all about money at least in my eyes. Your building freindship as well as a business.

Being a good sponsor is rather easy, lead by example!

Shop from your own store, you can't expect someone else to, if you don't yourself, show you have confidence in your business.

BE PRESENT! So many times you see that affiliates are asking for new sponsors, don't be one of these sponsors, when you find someone willing to work HELP THEM! Find the answers to their questions, if you don't know them head to the forum and find out!

Everyone is looking for someone to follow,

Be there. Have you ever heard about something called FISH Philosophy? One of the tenants of this philosophy is "Be There". When your affiliates ask a question or if you see them making errors in some of their business. Be there, and guide them.
