You are a sponsor focused on helping your affiliates succeed with SFI. You will be well advised to keep in mind the three fundamental principles below:
1. Success with SFI is based on sound knowledge and action.
2. Every SFI Affiliate will go only at their own natural pace.
3. The best way to help a PSA is to adhere and follow the sponsoring guidelines.
.
If you apply these principles in the support you are providing to your PSAs, you will successfully help them build their businesses and their teams. At the same token, you will be an awesome sponsor and and successful SFI Team Leader.
As sponsors, we have a methodology outlined to us in the training sections pertaining to Affiliate manager, sponsoring and rules of success. These are the guidelines we need to fully understand and apply. Then, we need to keep in mind the following:
PSAs will be up to speed only when they have the basic knowledge of SFI
SFI, rightfully, emphasizes knowledge acquisition. The design of the "Home Page" highlights the basic knowledge that is critical to understanding SFI, its inner workings and the right path to reaching one's goals without being lost, and without being overwhelmed. A new PSA enjoys a 30 days learning period.The combination of the daily to-do-list, the planned actions in the VP Ledger, and the launchpad lessons gives to the new PSA a thorough knowledge and a plan of action. These two components are sound and very effective in helping an affiliate be up to speed, by the end of the first 30 days.
Wanting to push an affiliate to go faster is fraught with risks of making him leave out large segments of the knowledge base not fully understood. That knowledge lacking, the affiliate will, later on, face difficulties he cannot solve and questions to which he does not have answers. He will have to go back searching for solutions.
A PSA will work only at his/her natural pace
We have seen PSAs join SFI, get excited and dash to score a home run. In most case, the sponsor has had little input in this. Indeed, there are people who will work their businesses whether they get help from their sponsor or not. Such PSAs will reach team leader ranks and maintain their status. The role of the sponsor is to acknowledge them, establish a communication line, offer friendship, mentoring, help, suggestions and tips. However what these PSAs will appreciate the most is the recognition form their sponsor and upline, but with as little interference as possible. They are already at speed.
A second category of PSAs will respond to your messages. They will acknowledge having difficulties and will seek from you, their sponsor, clarification to their confusion as well as help to overcome the obstacles they are facing. These PSAs give to their sponsor the opportunities to be awesome. The sponsor's best reaction is to follow the guidelines to the letter.
Others will work much slower. Some new PSAs take months to fully get started. But once they have a good understanding, they will work at their own speed. You may send them all kinds of tips and suggestions. But, they will have to internalize the knowledge first before acting on it. You, the sponsor, your best course of action is to keep the communication lines open, doing the maximum of the outlined sponsoring activity.
And finally, we have affiliates who will remain inactive. That is part of our business. We have learned to deal with it and move on.
The Best Way to Help a new PSA is to adhere and apply the Sponsoring Guidelines.
In this business of our, I really do not believe in reinventing the wheel. We have a system built on a long, steady success track record. All that has been working effectively is made available to us, at our fingertips. If we apply this knowledge, we will help our affiliates according to what is mot appropriate to their needs and what is natural to them
