The best way to stay in touch with your PSAs and CSAs is to use the tools SFI provides:

Genealogy Team Mail
PSA Mailer
CSA Mailer
Stream.

You can also Email your affiliates. If you have Skype, you can use that. If you have affiliates from your own country or region, you can telephone them as well.

Staying in touch, at least weekly, is very important. When they are doing well, congratulate them. When they are close to gaining the next level, encourage them to gain the VP needed to reach it. If they have questions, be sure to answer them in a timely manner. Welcome messages should be sent as soon as possible to new affiliates.

Don't forget that you can use the instant messaging that SFI provides when the yellow bubble shows up for an affiliate who is online. This is a good way to answer questions and clarify things.

Communication, as often as needed, is imperative to keeping affiliates motivated and interested in this business.

Hi -

You said "Best Ways" as in plural -
a weekly team mail I find not only the easiest way
but also the most effective. That's to both PSAs & CSAs.

Then of course comes the part where you look through the
Filters at Genealogy - that takes some practice - and sort
out who is in need of help or some motivational and/or
inspirational words.

I still find the personal and occasional quick note
asking how they are doing a good way to break the ice.
If there is no response, it just means that they haven't
logged in at all or do not want to be bothered.

The ones to stay in touch with and keep a close eye on
are the movers. In between your weekly letter or team mail
let a few days pass before sending individual messages.

As far as I understand the concept, sending Team Mail also
sends out automatic e-mail to their regular addy.

Remember you also have your STREAM POSTS during the week.

Did that help any?

Hi Eva,
The best ways to stay in contact with your PSAs and CSAs are:
1. Sending periodic mails to them. You can make use of the PSA,CSA or genealogy mailer to do this if you want to reach all or a segment of downlines

2. You can connect with one another through social media. You can ask or give them your contacts so they add you as friend on the social media.

3. Another effective way is through postings on stream tab located on your SFI Homepage. Here ,you can motivate and give them tips to follow in building a strong SFI etc
- to answer the second part of your question, if you are communicating with them through mail, I'll recommend you send a mail in a week because some people tend to get angry or discouraged if volume of mails thry are getting from you is much. But you can send individual mail base on your perceived ways you think one affliate may be having problem or to improve by studying his or her Versapoints Ledger. Best of luck

Hi Eva,

Let us first consider the ways to be in contact with PSAs and CSAs the we will come to how often.

1. As soon as one CSA/PSA is attached with you is the best time. Send them welcome letter the same day. Advice them to get started.

2. If they have not confirmed their email, contact them through IM & welcome them. Tell them to get started. Listen to video by Gery Carson

3. They should read SFI basics and of course Launch Pad every day and answer the question at the end of each lesson everyday. Advise them not to read all the lesson on the same day.

4. Visit their profile and read it thoroughly. See their goals are realistic. If they have given their contact number talk to them as soon as possible and clear their doubts.
5. Use weekly messages to PSAs & CSAs. Also be in touch with them through a news letter.

Now coming to how often:

1. It would depend from member to member. To an enthusiastic member sky is the limit as he/she would like to gather all the support, help & guidance from his/her upline.

2. Some would get fed up with lot of messages coming from their upline. There are very few of them.

3. The optimum delivery would be twice a week. A weekly message and a news letter placed in the center of each week

4. The urgent notifications may be sent at any time.

Hope it helps Eva !!

SFI has already provided great ways to stay in touch with your PSA and CSA. The system itself works great but you can incorporate your own other methods to suit your communication needs accordingly.

WITH SFI YOU CAN USE:

The Genealogy. It is also called your Affiliate manager and works great in managing your entire team in just one setting.

The Stream Tab. Another great communication tool within the system that you can use to not only communicate with your down line but also with your A2A connections.

The Chat feature. Use it to see who of your PSA/CSA is online at any one time. How? When you see a golden yellow button on the "Your movers" page then you know that they are available online. Click on it to send a request for a chat. I use it often and it works alright.

Use both the PSA and CSA Mailer
This is great for sending TM every week. For me some of my Affiliates have once told me that whenever I didn't communicate with them through the PSA or CSA mailer, they felt like Orphans left alone in the dark. That shows they see, like and enjoy your posts. Use it carefully.

Your Leadership Page should inadvertently be able to communicate to your PSA and CSA any time about your goals, Best Tips, Success Plan etc. They should be able to look into your leadership page and get Inspired and motivated to work harder. It should be like a sign post pointing them to the right direction every time they are lost and that's a communication tool too

The Re-assignment manager
This works only when reassigning your PSA to PSA. You cannot reassign your PSA to your CSA and vice versa. Another Inadvertent communication tool. It communicates a good silent message to your hard working PSA that I am rewarding you for your diligence and hard work.

Coop Manager
The Coop Manager can help you communicate to your team by Inviting your entire down line to join a coop. The manager helps you monitor progress and provide guidance and feedback to your team about the Team Coop.

OUT OF SFI YOU CAN USE

Your own Blog
If you have a website like every successful SFI Team leader does then communication to your down line is not an issue. I can't emphasis enough the importance of having your own website. Every successful Online marketer I know has one and what is it's primary purpose? To communicate! Period!

Social Media sites
Giants like Facebook, Google+, Tweeter, LinkedIn are all proven and effective communication platforms that you can use to communicate to your team often. Good news! They don't cost a dime!

Do Webinars/Video conferencing
If you know how to do a webinar you will achieve great satisfaction from the trust your team puts upon you. For webinars try using Google chat or Skype. Even some WP plugins can now help you do unlimited webinars for free. So go ahead and put your face to your E-mails and chats

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU COMMUNICATE?

I would say as often as your team is comfortable hearing from you. Please don't spam them with greedy EA upgrades. Usually 3 times a week should do just fine.

Here's what Gery said- There's an old saying that people don't care what you say until they know you care, and it applies perfectly here. If your affiliates get the impression in any way that you just want to "make money off them," they're going to resent you, and they're not going to want to do anything to help you, which would of course include upgrading.
So Help Your Team to Help Yourself.

Of course, the best way to stay in contact with your PSAs and CSAs is by using the genealogy mailer. I would recommend daily contact through the stream at best and at the least you want to touch basis with them every 3 days or 3 times per week. Communication is extremely important to leadership as most affiliates will need your guidance and direction.

Nevertheless, some affiliates are more internet and marketing savvy and will not need as much feedback. So a good rule of thumb to live by is that if you don't hear from your network either 1 or 2 things are the case. Either they are good and making progress at a rate that is good for them or they don't care one way or another. The first group you can monitor and the second group team mail won't help because they don't log in.

In the ladder case, I have sent a personal email to them offering my recommendations and support. If they reply then great but if not then I would waste a lot of effort trying to revive their interests. SFI is not for everyone and as such most workers will bud within the first 30 days.

Some affiliates don't mind if you offer them personalize support over the phone. Those affiliates tend to work more loyally when that have a personal connection to you. Nonetheless, others will not be open to your phone call seeing that they are more reserved about speaking with people they haven't met in person. So the bottom line is if someone asks you to call them call them. If they ask questions, answer them in a timely fashion. I check my emails everyday 2 or 3 times a day so that I can get back with anyone usually within 24 hours. Most of the time its less than that.

If they will join you the best tool on the web is daily contact through a Skype Chat, just having that place to log in and get to know each other, share stories, get inspiration, swap resources, and grow as a team with live and responsive communication has been a blessing to every business I have owned online.

How powerful is working in a close group like that with daily interaction? My last team project was generating millions of monthly page views and made money daily from advertising and affiliate programs.

If you're shy you'll get over it. If you talk funny, so do I. If you want to succeed in building massive team unity then do it.

Second to that is a bulk mail sender or auto-responder like mail-chimp or SFI Team Mail to send weekly newsletters and periodic reminders. Using your own system allows you to share a few advertising sites here and there, and since you can save the mailings as draft instead of sending you can add to them and edit them over the course of the week. You also have the ability to schedule your message to send on time even if you're out of town.

Use regular e-mail to send a personal note from time to time or recognize when someone in your team reaches a goal or seems stuck. Don't hesitate to offer support, but make a list of affiliates who shun the support and ask you to not be so proactive, sometimes people can't see the value of teamwork as clearly as others.

Above all be consistent. People need to hear that friendly voice before they have to pick up the phone. You know how excited you get when a friend comes to visit, be that friend.

Hope this helps, may your business be everything you wish it to be.
