The best mentors would be your sponsor and co-sponsor. I believe many of them make good mentors. However many sponsors and co-sponsors maybe unresponsive and the affiliate concerned is having a hard time trying to grasp the fundamentals of SFI business. Listed below are the different methods in finding a mentor who can guide the new affiliate.
YOUR SPONSOR
Ideally your sponsor is the best person as your mentor. Your sponsor usually gets in touch with you for the first time through the welcome letter. He/she might see you online and connect with you on a ‘live’ chat. If your sponsor is not responsive you can make an attempt to contact him or her via email. Ask whatever questions you have to clear your doubts. A responsible sponsor keeps the communication going at least once a week via stream post, email, PSA mailer, genealogy group mailer etc. If all attempts to contact your sponsor fails then you have to look for another mentor.
YOUR CO-SPONSOR
Similar to your sponsor, your co-sponsor shares in the financial benefits and support responsibilities of the affiliates to whom he/she is assigned as the co-sponsor. Your co-sponsor can supplement your sponsor as your mentor. If your sponsor is not responsive you can rely on your co-sponsor as your mentor. Co-sponsors can be just as knowledgeable or even better than your sponsor. Communication can be via steam, email, CSA mailer, genealogy group mailer etc. Your co-sponsor will usually take the lead in contacting you and offer their assistance.
YOUR UPLINE
As an SFI affiliate your are part of a team with mutual goals and objectives. This is where your upline support comes in. Each of your upline team members have vested interest in your success and stands ready to assist you in your SFI business. Besides your sponsor and co-sponsors the rest of your upline members can be your mentor too.
A2A
Linking via a2a is also a good way to find a mentor. A2A allows you to identify mentors in your own country. The advantage of a2a is it provides localized assistance. By selecting a mentor in your area you can learn about the best marketing methods and strategies for your region of the world.
FORUM
The forum itself can be a mentor. You can tap the expertise of so many experienced affiliates. The forum history provides a good source of answers to many of your questions.
ASK SC AUTHORS
Ask SC has a rich bank of excellent answers for you questions. Connecting with these authors is a good way of finding a mentor. The ASK SC answers are very good references for many of the common questions SFI affiliates often ask.
Finding a mentor is easy from the above sources. SFI is full of experienced affiliates who could give a strong support and build a cohesive team.
