As you throw your recruitment ads all over the net, it only in some cases (e.g a particular city classified or a regional targeted ad) you can determine the geography or location of who responds. Therefore to an extent you may not be able to totally prevent people who speak little English from joining SFI through your advertisements.
Also, on the other hand, you cannot determine computer expertise of your prospects at the point of recruitment except you categorically state that they need high computer proficiency to succeed. That also is not the spirit of the opportunity. What we tell people is that they need a computer or even a Smartphone with internet access. Period!
The question then is,"Is it worthwhile to sponsor affiliates who speak little English or have very limited computer/Internet experience?". My answer is YES. Really, fluency in English language and being computer savvy do not automatically translate to an active downline. Many have these two qualities but are not motivated, really indolent and unwilling.
Therefore, you should devise a means of supporting Affiliates in this category. For Affiliates that speaks or understands just a little English, you can help them through:
1. Google Translator. You can write your message in English and use Google Translator to translate it to his/her language. It works well.
2. a2a connection. You can introduce him to connect with his/her country leaders through the medium of a2a. They would be able to guide him in their native language and get him/her started and grounded.
3. Reassignment. Another option is to reassign him/her to a performing Affiliate in your downline from the person's country or who is literate in the native language. Since, you still get Matching VersaPoints from your downline, you have not lost anything but rather strengthened your team.
The issue of limited computer/internet experience is solved by systematic training using the communication media established above. SFI homepage training articles can be translated too using Google translator and their would be gradual computer appreciation and usability. 95% of people who join SFI needs one level of training or another.
I believe you should not limit yourself as many Affiliates that seems to be slow starters end up becoming stars in this business.
