Hi Rania,
1. Well this question is quite tricky! Communication either through a professional SFI mailer or a personal email (G-mail/Yahoo mail etc) depends on the nature of communication as well the particular individual it’s addressed to. Both have their own pros & cons.
2.Staying connected with your PSAs plays a major role of not only in keeping the momentum of your personally referred team members in their personal and business growth but also most of all strengthening the relationship and foundation of your SFI organization.
A) When to use the PSA Mailer:-
i) For sending important updates about SFI’s news, changes in policies and about the latest innovation in SFI. This will update everyone in your team to be prepared and to be in time in making the necessary adjustments to avoid losing momentum of growing their SFI businesses. This info can be send through weekly PSA/CSA group mails.
ii) For sending weekly tips and advice for your PSAs. Show them how you tackle a topic such as Marketing methods, Internet income course etc., one at a time.
iii) To communicate the marketing strategy of SFI. Share any fresh related changes or important information that relates to marketing their SFI businesses.
iv) To discuss effective methods in achieving SFI’s goal taking into consideration the ever changing world of marketing.
v) For communicating to your PSAs/CSAs the importance of widening their knowledge base. This is an important part of growing their SFI businesses that should not be neglected. As your PSAs and CSAs build and expand their own team, they’re going to make use of their knowledge and skills in this regard.
vi) To share your thoughts and ideas about hot threads from SFI Forum.
B) When to use your PSA’s/CSAs email addresses: -
i) Use the personal email when dealing with your PSAs one on one. This gives you advantage to tailor your messages appropriately to your PSAs and give a personal & warm feeling to each one of them as individuals.
ii) To address the specific issues of each of your PSAs therby advancing the growth of his/her own SFI business.
iii) Discuss specific issues related to your PSA’s region/country and how you can help in finding solution.
However, please ensure that you do not compare these two means of communicating to your PSAs and then pick one from the other as your only method of connecting to your PSAs, solely by preference. You should know when to apply each method of communication as per the situation & issues concerned. The judicious use of communication helps in advancing the growth of not only your own SFI business but most of all your whole SFI organization.
3. Apart from the above mentioned communications, SFI has provided us many other means /tools for communicating:-.
i) Geneology -Team Mail.
ii) E-Cards from the Profiles of PSAs/CSAs,
iii) Stream from the Home Page,
iv) Contact Seller from TripleClicks product Details,
v) The IM (Immediate Messaging) from the yellow balloons in Geneology. (Online Chat).
Well, the only drawback is whether the affiliate will see the message and read it. Some inactive affiliates will not open their mail from SFI while they might open that from their sponsor or co-sponsor. Remember that some mail from SFI mailers will go both to their personal email and to their SFI messages. But these are both given as being from SFI.
