Stream is an instant messaging tool to communicate with your downline. It allows you to post important updates as often as needed to help everyone in your downline in their personal development and growth in their journey with SFI. The Stream can serve as a platform to engage your downline to share their ideas/thoughts and stay connected with you. When posting always keep in mind that your message should be clear and concise and always be geared towards your downline’s interests and needs.
How can Stream help in building your SFI business?
- Through the Stream you’ll be able to get great insight just by asking questions to your downline. You can post questions related to the challenges you might encounter with your international team members. It is extremely important to address the following unique challenges that come with building your network worldwide in order to be successful in building your SFI business and how you can use Stream effectively:
1. Time zones – When planning a meeting/webinar with your downline, it is a good idea to equally distribute the hardship of scheduling meetings on a global clock so that the time issue is not borne by one culture alone. Use the Stream to get feedback about the number of participants and the best time for most of them to be able to participate. If further discussions are needed, you can use other means of communication such as Skype, Facebook, etc.
2. Language – You can address language difficulties by following up using Google translation service with Team mail, email and SFIM chat.
Identifying these unique challenges will give you a powerful insight in supporting the momentum and growth of your downline’s SFI business. When you take into consideration of these challenges, you’ll develop your marketing plan and strategy effectively.
- Get feedback from your downline when you post your messages.
People in general love being complemented. Likewise your affiliates will most likely respond when you post your congratulations for their achievements/winnings.
Furthermore you’ll be able to find out what people think about your motivation/encouragement or general message. Whether positive or negative, you can then address their concerns in your weekly newsletter/tip clearly and in detail.
- When you formulate your post, choose your words carefully (limited to 340 characters) to attract, uplift and motivate your downline.
When you consistently send important updates, motivation and encouragement through the Stream Post to your downline (earn max. 3 AVP/week) you’re building a relationship of trust between you and your downline. The trust and loyalty of your downline are important foundation in building your SFI business.
