I note that in SFI, Affiliates have very specific queries that need to be addressed. The questions is part of their training and it is as important to make sure that the answers are concise.
Offline classes are possible and practical if both you and the Affiliate are in the same city. However, you will still require to combine online methods to facilitate your training. You can adopt the following
- choose a comfortable venue, where you will not be interrupted and there will be privacy and you can discuss SFI over coffee. A one on one meeting builds trust and it is easy to draw on your reserves of enthusiasm during a personal meeting.
- if you are very keen to train your PSAs and can afford the financial investment, I would strongly advise you to make a point of meeting with your PSAs who maybe from a different town. I suggest this from my geographical location where I can visit other towns without spending a lot. This investment is very likely to be paid back once your recruits start SFI seriously.
- keep all channels/mode of communications open. This will still be a very important part of your training and cannot be ignored. Skype, mobile, Whatsapp Voice Mail messages remain an integral part of your offline training without which it would be next to impossible in this day and age to reach people.
- organizing small workshops within your own home has proved very beneficial in creating a rapport between you and your Affiliates. There are no restrictions over how long your training can take but you can start weekly regular meetings to cover various topics of concern. You can invite as few or as many affiliates to your training provided you have the available space.
- visual aids and physical presence during the training has a better impact on new affiliates and they can relate better with a hands on demonstration of how to maneuver around the site. Some affiliates are not internet oriented and it takes time to adjust to technology where none might be available.
Please keep in mind not to overwhelm the affiliates or confuse them with your interpretation so get your facts absolutely correct before you start training.
