"SFI has great ways to communicate with your team, but am I missing out by not using outside resources too like email, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?"
I think using an outside source is best when your relationship with an individual team member has become more than simply business.
There is more scope to develop a personal friendship through email or even better having a face-to-face chat on Skype.
The team mailouts are for the whole team and are specifically meant to lead your team in the business, not to build individual friendships.
The e-cards are great and I use them often, but again they are specific to the type of card you are sending whether it be 'Congratulations' or 'Don't Go' or whichever card you are sending. Depending on the person I sometimes add a bit more, but not usually.
The chat box I find very hard to use. You can only see one line and it's hard to edit what you've written, and there is no ability to format it. When you hit return, hoping to start a new line or paragraph, you have submitted your message.
The best way to communicate one-to-one within SFI is to send an individual TeamMail message. Here you can write somewhat longer messages and enter returns and see what you are doing. You are however restricted to 2,000 characters, which is usually enough.
So if you wish to share family news and other bits and pieces, then an email is definitely the best way to go.
