Communication is most important. Answer emails as quickly as you can and send tips and encouragement through Team Mail each week. Let them know you are there for them! Even if you are just learning yourself. If you don't know an answer, find it!

We are actually already guided to be a good sponsor, Every time you have a new PSA, SFI notifies you with a simple guide on how to greet and welcome them. In your to do list tab, in your weekly actions, send them a follow up and offer of help. You don't have to do this everyday, since SFI is already doing the follow ups for you. There's a reason why mailing your PSAs and CSAs is in weekly actions. Following the guides that SFI has prepared for you will surely make you a good sponsor.

How to become a good sponsor to your affiliates team

Affiliate programme is an ideal business for many people. You don't need to create or store the product.
The company does all that for you. They probably even give you proven strategies for selling the product.
It is also possible to increase your income by building a strong affiliate team.

You earn a commission on the product they sale, so your income can continue to grow without you selling more or working harder

It's very important to let them know that you care about them personally. If they are one of your Movers, send them an individual message talking about them personally and what they've done and what you hope for them in the future. For any of your people when you're talking to them, mention where they live. If you know the area, tell them and asked them how they like it and what you thought of it. Get on a one-on-one basis with them.

Lead by example: tell them what you do every day and

Every tiny 'bit' of support is important. However, first of all, giving them a warm welcome is very important. Business is more than just about making money, building a good relationship is far more important. If we build a good rapport with our PSA's, the money/income will take care of themselves. Many people make the mistake of straight away talking about how to generate sales, earn VP, etc. Of course that is also important, but guiding our PSA's in their 'journey' through SFI by being a true friend

Communication is key to becoming a good sponsor to your affiliate. Respond to them promptly and point them to the basics which usually create a good foundation for their business. You must lead by example like maintaining a leadership page, participating in forum, make TripleClicks your store, upload your picture to your sfi page so they know you are real...offer gift certificates and set up co-ops. If you must LEAD you must READ, so will be able show the right way. Let your team rock!

1. Have your photo on the id so that the affiliate can recognize you. 2. Send the welcome message on their entry in your team and assure for any kind of support. 3. Talk to them about SFI Basics and be friendly with them. 4. Give them the info regarding "THE DAILY GRAND" and "E365". 5. Set goals for them and reward them for their achievement. 6. Ask for the commitment from them to work seriously. In short, be with them help them before they ask for it. Remember they just need

Communication...that's what it takes. Be there constantly for your PSAs/CSAs. Respond to their questions, and be honest. Never give them false hopes because SFI is not a get rich overnight scheme. Acknowledge their success. Most of the complaints regarding sponsors are that they never reply to any of the messages, nor offer any advice/help. Hence, communication is the most crucial part in being a good sponsor!
