There are a few ways to test to see if your affiliates are receiving your messages; none are absolutely 100% as to assuring this.

1) Team-mails always make it to the affiliate's account, but if they don't log in, they don't get your messages. You can check their log-in dates, but logging in doesn't guarantee them actually *reading* those messages.

2) You can request a return-receipt on regular e-mails, but some domains don't acknowledge those requests, and an affiliate can usually choose *not* to send one if they so desire.

3) Similarly, some e-mail clients will allow you to tract a delivery status notification, but again, many domains choose not to send those.

4) You can send an "incentive message," offering free T-Credits or a gift certificate if they respond. This has the added bonus of encouraging a little bit of activity on their part, and if they do not answer, either (a) they are not receiving your messages or (b) they have lost interest and you can consider them effectively inactive.

The most important thing to do is to concentrate on those that do show some desire. Apathy and attrition are all over the internet, and it's important not to let either affect you.

Staying connected with your PSAs and CSAs is vital to your growth as business owner. You need to communicate with them as often as possible, in supporting and keeping them up-to-date in growing their own SFI business. Whether you’re using email or SFI communication tools, staying connected with them helps you build strong relationship with your PSAs and CSAs.

Most email service providers and spam filtering programs offer to protect your PSAs and CSAs email inbox from unwanted messages. However, they sometimes block legitimate communications that you’re sending to your PSAs and CSAs. Spam controls work in a variety of ways, and regularly make mistakes: mislabelling as spam mail that your PSAs and CSAs should received, rejecting legitimate message delivery, and sometimes routing messages to trash folders where you won't see them.

Knowing these facts, here are ways to make sure your PSAs and CSAs are receiving your email messages:

- Add SFI email ([email protected]) to address book

Ask your PSAs and CSAs to add SFI email (whitelist [email protected]) to ensure that your messages are getting through. By using the Genealogy group support, your messages are being sent at the same time to your PSAs and CSAs Team mail inbox and email addresses. To verify, use the Stream Post to inform them if they are receiving your messages in their email inbox.

- Check Spam/Junk mail folder

Depending how often you communicate with your downline, you might be sending a great deal of messages to them. Your PSAs/CSAs email provider may consider that your messages are unsolicited spam email and may block them completely or may be filtered to a folder called Spam or Junk mail or may land straight to Trash folder. Ask your PSAs/CSAs to check their Spam/Junk mail and Trash folder. If they found any messages from you, ask them to mark your messages as “Not Spam” or “Not Junk”. This will ensure that your messages are being delivered correctly.

- Check email filter setting

Nowadays email service providers offer software that filter based on the content of messages, subject or “containing words”. Inform your PSAs/CSAs to check their email filter settings and may need to revise them to prevent your messages being labeled spam/junk mail incorrectly.

- Contact email service provider

Most email service provider may be operating anti-spam systems on their mail servers without your PSAs/CSAs knowledge. Encourage your PSAs/CSAs to communicate directly with the IT department of their Internet service provider to report any blocking of legitimate mail from you. The blocking may be occurring because they might be using unreliable "blocklists" or error-prone spam filters. Ask them to request their Internet service provider to reconfigure their system to enable the delivery of your mail.

Dear Sakir
Your question is good, useful and important. But the question here is how do you know that they are not receiving your messages?

There may be three scenarios:

1. Someone just signed up but did not confirm his/her email. Here is becomes difficult to do much as they may not open there email box to check your message. You can try contacting the PM box meant for Personal Message. They can read your messages only if they log in to their SFI account. See their profile whether they have entered any phone or mobile number for you to contact them.

2. Some people just sign up for the fun and give wrong email id which starts bouncing from the beginning it self. You can’t do much about these people. Its better to forget them. Or you can try finding them on Facebook or twitter & inform them about their mistake in SFI registration.

3. The third category of people – you can find them with GREEN box in your genealogy or movers tab. It shows that they have confirmed their registration, In this case, you need not struggle. They will receive email messages by all means.
Hope it helps

Cheers, Have a nice day !!

The tips below are for internationalized team situation , in which dialogue can not be used directly by phone or face to face skip .
The first thing you need to do is to check the email address of your team ESC or PSA is valid. This need to do ever since the appearance of his name in books. This check makes you enter the site www.verifyemailaddress.org , you can do the following operations : first checks syntax of email address , then check the mail server and discover existing email address.
The second step is to check that email you sent between your Inbox. You enter genealogy, PSA and CSA download list , and then after your mail send a message to all team members . If mail that have signed is a spam , you will receive notification from DELYVERY MAIL . So these players will not receive mails you sent.
The third thing that you need to check is the realization by the actor of the first three very important steps for affiliation, which are: Confirmed Registration , Affiliate Completed profiles , Whitelisted [email protected] . You go in Genealogy , click on the name of each player opens the presentation page , view AFFILIATE MANAGER and see if the first three conditions are achieved . If the right of everyone is NO, then mail collaboration is doomed to failure .
And finally , you forget yourself and the last sign and if you see that your partner has not connected since the time of registration means that the chances are very weak to see your open message by email .

First and foremost, make sure your ACTIVE Affiliates are getting your email messages. Your primary goal is helping them. You can tell where they need help by analyzing their VP Ledger.
Most of us pay attention to helping our smaller liist of PSAs and little attention to our BIG list of CSAs.

One way to test either group cheaply is to deposit whatever dollar amount you can afford in your Certificate Manager account. Allot an amount ($5-$10, for example) to a certain number of inactive PSAs or CSAs in 3 day cycles. If they fail to utilize the GC in two days, the gift returns to your Gift Certificate Manager account for re-use. You will soon find out the serious SFI affiliates that are getting your message.
If they don't respond to your gift, place them on a back-burner list. Reinstate them only if they show up as active in your genealogy as active for the current month.

Your financial commitment to this procedure can be adapted to fit anyone's budget, and will tell you fairly accurately if they are getting your emails.

In SFI business, a bit of innovations and ingenuity at times come in very handy to get around some knotty issues. Effective communication with your team is one such issue. Experience has shown that you may just be firing regular emails to your team without any evidence that they even see the mails talk less of reading them. That is a very big issue in this business. To make sure your CSAs and PSAs are receiving your email messages, I believe you should do the following.

1. Communicate with them mostly with CSAs and PSAs Mailer. Mail delivery is guaranteed with the Mailer.
2. Regularly send your team members messages which require some form of responses.
3. Send mails which arouse curiosity in your team members.
4. Challenge your team members to take you up on any issue.
5. Send some mails which require some form of acknowledgement from your team members.
6. Institute some question and answer sessions with your team members promising some rewards for winners.
7. Remember and mark the birthdays/anniversaries of your team members.
8. Demand feedbacks/concerns from your team members how they are making out monthly in the business.
9. Identify those with leadership qualities among your team members and challenge them to teach others.
10. Send only mails which recognize the importance of all members of your team.

Doing all these and more regularly will guarantee that your team members receive your emails.

Wishing you a very happy and most effective communication with your team members!!!

In truth, you don't know if they are getting your emails. A lot of people automatically tune out anything that is not relevant to them at the moment, and they do that by sending the messages to the waste bin unread. That is no excuse to stop sending them, however. You pour your heart out to these people, and some of them will eventually come along. Maybe something you say one day will catch their attention, and bring them back to life. Who knows?

One thing I like to do is to write up human interest stories about people I encounter in and out of the business. I tell about some of the struggles they have, and the things they have over come. Hopefully these stories will hit a nerve somewhere with someone. People are dealing with a lot of things out there, and I want them to get that they are not alone, and that there is a way to overcome their challenges, whatever those challenges are.

Another thing I realize is that most people never really explore this business, and what we offer. They don't even realize that TripleClicks has a catalog, or that it offers almost anything you can imagine. Sometimes I will paint a verbal picture of what I see this business becoming in the future. It's an international market place on the grow. Merchants and customers will be clamoring to get in the not to distant future. It will only grow and get even better then it is today.

If I can get the message across that this is a business with heart, and that it's incredibly dynamic, I will have done my work. Life has a way of forcing people to look for alternatives to whatever they are doing, and I will be there when they decide to take another look.

There are many reasons why your team members may not receive your mail.

1. They may have given you an invalid email address
2. They may have given you a valid email address to an unused account or one specifically to receive mail that they do not intend on reading.
3. They may receive too many emails that they do not read or delete all of them before they get lost on older pages.
4. They may not bother to translate your letters into their languages.
5. They may not value your mail and just not read it.
6. They may not have a computer and find that lengthy letter on a smart phone are way too hard to read.
7. They may have blocked your email from the SFI system.
8. We hope not, but they may be invalid sign ups.

So did they receive it or not? I have found that asking for any kind of reply is not effective. Most never ever communicate with their sponsor. I believe that more PSAs and CSAs are guilty of that than the sponsors not communicating.

If your affiliates do not respond to your mailers and you don't get a notice that it can not be delivered, then you should assume that your team received the mail unless they chose not to receive it individually. That is of course if you truly posted it and it was not rejected by the team at SFI.

I have heard of a service that will tell you if your mail has been opened. I don't remember what it is called, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

But I ask you, why would you want to go to that effort and expense when they have made no effort to contact you, nor probably do any work on their To Do List? Yes, if they are not logging in and doing some work they won't be reading the IM nor looking at any of the other methods of messaging that SFI and TC have provided. But many of these messages also send out mails to their email addresses. If it goes through SFI, it will be labeled as from them, if you send it out personally, it will be labeled as from you. What more do we really have to do?

Move on to someone who is responsive.

While your in SFI Center.

If you just happen to be online here in SFI when you get the message you Sponsored a new affiliate chat with them. Let them know your there sponsor and your there to help with any questions or concerns they may have. During that time give them SFI and your email and the link (https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/emailhelp)to get there information and VP's. Be sure to send them to there VP Ledger (https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/VPLedger). This will give them what to expect in there first month and every month after that.


If you missed the email message hour(s) later or next day.

Make sure you add your email and a message at your welcome message here in the center, you'll find it at your PSA's and CSA's information when you click there name at your "Movers" and "Genealogy & Affiliate Manager" (black dropdown bar under Power Tools) pages.

When you send a personal email from your email provider, make sure you don't add link(s) to the message. This will go to there Spam Folder. Welcome yourself as there sponsor/co-sponsor and a short description what do to add (whitelist) SFI and your email to there list.

There are several ways to ensure that your team members receive your email messages.

I find that the E Cards and Group messages via SFI are good in that the messages go to the SFI Inbox as well as to the members standard email addresses. That means that even if the members do not log into SFI, they will still receive the messages via the emails they have supplied when the signed up.

Having said this, we must also bear in mind that not everybody communicate via email. Many people prefer as their primary way of communicating, FaceBook, LinkedIn and other social networks. They rarely have a look at their emails.

I would therefore recommend that you join as many of these social networks and linkup and be friend as many of your team members as possible and connect with them that way. In your postings at these sites encourage them to check their emails.

If you see that they are online at the SFI site, connect with them immediately and have a chat. Refer to you emails and if they don't know anything about them, ask them to check their emails.

Train them to regularly check their emails. Make sure that they get to know that emails is the primary way SFI and you communicate with them. By checking their emails regularly, they keep up to date with training and other happenings at SFI.

If it comes to your attention that they are not receiving emails from you or SFI it means that their current email is not recorded with SFI. Get them to have this updated.
