PSA messages assume great importance in SFI. It is through these messages we establish regular contact with our down line and share the progress in SFI with each other . Person to person contacts and delivering the messages through personal discussions may be the best but is only possible where the PSAs are individually appointed from our own friend circles within our region. But here we are dealing with an international support team spread around the world speaking different languages and staying in different time zones. Of course telephone contacts are beneficial but because of logistic problems like the cost of international calls, time zone differences etc. We are unable to establish continuous and regular contact with our PSAs except through messages. SKYPE though definitely very helpful but still have its own limitations.
Initially the messages to our PSAs are frequent and very important because we have to train the new affiliates and keep them well informed all about the systems of scoring in SFI and make them EA/EA2. We will have to exercise great caution during this period to understand their problems and sort those with timely messages. AT this stage continuous monitoring their scores is very essential to understand as to where they are held up. Many a times they simply stop the moment they face any technical problem without knowing who and how to contact their up lines at that time.
It will indeed be of double benefit if we can address the messages in their languages if they are not conversant with English. That will indeed boost their confidence level.
It will be better if our messages are initially very specific and easy to understand dealing with day to day actions of scoring various TO DO LIST points and also completing one time action points. We can even give clarification/explanatory notes on each launch pad lessons to them and slowly make them conversant with the systems. We should restrain ourselves from overloading them with too much technical data but allow them to do things at their own phase with timely interventions where absolutely needed. Always remember our aim is to help and educate them and not to score any points ourselves showing how informed we are.
