While we can send more team mails than just one a week, I like it that it is only once a week that we can earn 30 VersaPoints for sending a group team mail. This is an immediate encouragement not to overload a new affiliate with information.
What I like to do is:
1. Send a welcome ecard as soon as possible after I've been notified I have a new affiliate on my team, whether a PSA or CSA. My ecard message includes a warm welcome and some basic tips for getting started.
2. Then I like to leave the new affiliate alone for a few days (other than if they ask me questions - then I reply as quickly as possible). I leave them alone because I hope they are reading and learning, and also because I know that they are also getting emails from SFI.
3. After a few days I check their VP Ledgers, and I note what it is they've been scoring VersaPoints for. If it looks like they haven't been putting in much effort, or no effort at all, I usually just leave them alone to get on with doing nothing much, unsure of what their reasons may be. It is enough that they get emails from SFI and from me at least once a week. Should they start to put in some effort though, I do the same for them that I do with those who are putting in some effort right from the start:
4. I set up a small challenge for those who seem to be putting in some effort. After studying their VP Ledger I give them a short list of things I want to see done usually over a 3 day period. If they successfully complete the challenge, I reassign two or more of my new affiliates to them.
5. Beyond that, I continue to monitor their VP Ledgers, and give guidance, in small bites, related to a specific area of their VP Ledger.
