I understand exactly what you mean when you say you feel it is stale but before I go any further I want to remind you that it might feel stale to you and I but to our affiliates it is brand new.
I get bored with things like that very quickly. I first tried using the standard letter but by the 10th one I send out I hated it.
I changed my strategy - I start off with a welcome e-card, which is fun and short and sweet. I do not send copies of welcome messages to the affiliates, I type every one out for that affiliate. The message stays the same - it is just the words that changes
Example
Congratulations Pete! You took a very important 1st step in your journey to financial independence when you signed up with SFI. My name is xxxxxx and I am your sponsor. I am here to help and guide you on your journey to build a successful business. I am delighted to have you on my team - Welcome!
After that I send a welcome letter - again I do not copy a letter, I type out a unique letter to each new affiliate. Same message, different ways of saying it.
Example
Dear Pete
I hope you received the welcome e-card I've sent earlier. This is just a welcome letter to tell you a bit more.
My name is xxxxx. I am a single mom living in South Africa and like most single mom's money is always a problem. I joined SFI more than a year ago and I am very glad I did. No, I am not stinking rich yet but I can see improvement every month.
What I like about SFI is that it is FREE - no admin fees, no starter kits or whatever most other sites charge for. You get valuable lessons for free, free marketing tools and a sponsor.
That brings me to the reason why I am writing this letter to you. I am your sponsor and it is my pleasure to help and guide you and answer your questions. I will not have all the answers but if I don't know an answer I will find it.
You will see a speech bubble next to your photo. Click on it and a box will jump up. As your sponsor my name will be there. If the circle behind my name is green it means I am online and we can have a real time chat. If I am not online you can leave me a message that I will see when I log on again.
You can also go to my leadership page and leave a team mail or you can send me an e-mail. I will always be available if you need my help.
My e-mail is
[email protected]
Looking forward to get to know you. Good luck with your exciting new business.
xxxxx
After that letter I make sure I answer mails or messages within 24 hours (put your money where your mouth is) After the initial welcome letter I have standard letters to help my new affiliates on their way. Hope this helps you
