That's a very interesting question. From my experiences in opening up the communication line with my downlines I just ask provoking questions relating to people's concerns and interests.

However, everyone is unique with their own unique concerns and interests. I'm not saying they will respond immediately or at all. To find topics and ideas to open up your communications you can visit the forums (SFI or outside source) to refer these topics to your downline along with solutions from other

What is the most effective way to communicate with your team?

Hello, this is a very important question, in fact communicating with your team is vital, is certainly basic.

It is imperative in a leadership role that you communicate effectively. An age old aphorism goes, "It's not what you say, but how you say it." Communication is what separates a poor leader from an exceptional one. Having effective communication skills is the key to good leadership.

Here at SFI, Team leaders should initiate communication. Because we have our best interest at stake we should not use a means of communication based on our convenience but based on what our affiliates wants to communicate with us.

We start our communications with:
1. Chat facility if we see them on-line and logged in at SFI.
2. We send them message through SFI.
3. Through email.

With these three initial communications we should open up other venue where they

You ask for the MOST effective so I would say through the SFI platform. (using E-Card or genealogy mailer)

This is without any doubt that the business is business. But if you know your downline in real life well there is no obstacle to talk face-to-face.

One thing is sure, keep the communication open for both of you. Communication can't be done in a one-way. You got to listen to your downline questions and opinions. The same with your own uplin because your upline is part

Sending E-Cards are great and should give Praise as well suggestions or tips.

Team Mailings on a weekly basis are effective. I send the same mailing to both PSAs and CSAs. I have no idea if the CSAs Sponsor is active, so I want them to benefit from my mailings of encouragement, or motivational suggestions. I do of course send separate correspondence to the CSAs and PSAs as well, such as subjects regarding Reassigns and emphasis on Team Leadership development.

Chat services are

I find that E-Cards are very effective for emotional appeal and getting a short message to a team member. Cards have a way of making one's day a lot happier. I always feel happy to see an E-Card in my box - and also to get a response to the E-Cards that I send.

Because communication is a two way affair, Team Mail is also great to get fast response between you and your team member.

If you have a lot to say to the entire group, then Group Mailer is the way to go. However, it

1. Confirm that all e-mail ids of your Team Members are "White Listed" to ensure that none of the internal mails go to trash!

2. Go to Your Affiliate Home Page Every Day.

Hi,

This is interesting and very important question.

Good communication is a key for success!

My opinion is that the most effective way to communicate with your team, is that you can start with weekly mails.
Daily mails could be contrary-productive.

But, if there are some affiliates which are showing more interest for achieving the success, then you should communicate with them every time when they need your assistance, help and advice.

the most EFFECTIVE way is to let your heart speak and only speak the truth !

:)

But in technology terms: It depends a LOT on where your PSAs are from..
Some "crowd" is on facebook
Some PSAs just use google+
Others swear on twitter..

In other words, every PSA prefers his / her own method of communicating.

The most SERIOUS workers are online with SFI at least ONCE every day so the best way to reach them is by SFIMG or Genealogy mailer..
