To get an effective result either immediately or very near future and to clear the way of success of your leadership in SFI business – it is worthwhile to create and send an individual, personalized Welcome Letter to the new PSAs as well CSAs after sign-ups

It will be better to collect and use the information from their Affiliate Profile. Otherwise you should send a general message to let them know a heartiest and warm Welcome to SFI. In this regard you can collect a sample welcome

Hi Sharon!

I think it can be worthwhile, but I would be careful. It depends on your volume of PSA's each month that are signing up under you. It's been said that about 2% of those that register will really be serious about SFI. So, if your PSA's are coming from auctions, S-Builder, or other ECA signups, you could spend a lot of time sending personalized welcome letters to those that will never log in again.

But if you know the new PSA's, i.e. personal referrals/signups,

I believe it is very worthwhile, yes.

Building trust is essential in this business. Identifying with your affiliate in some way helps to begin the construction of that trust.

The first thing is to demonstrate that this communique is unique and specific. Mentioning something about them, or that they said in their Affiliate profile is helpful to demonstrate that the email is specifically for them.

But I think identification is of the greatest importance. I travel a

Hello,

In any case, there are several answers and options on this issue.
Personally, my opinion is that you should make a welcome message that seems to be personally addressed to the new member.

Here is an example:

Welcome to Great family SFI!

Congratulations and at the outset I wish you much success and a long and successful career in our SFI.
   
My name is XXXX, it is my honor to be your sponsor here at SFI. As your sponsor, I'm here

Hello Sharon

1. I feel honored to answered your question here on Ask_SC. Why because the question is intelligent and wonderful. Its worthwhile to answer it to whole SFI Community. Personalized message is like a message to give it to someone on telephone like talking to him/her face to face. The person receiving it is delighted when you address him/her by the first name. Who does not like his/her first name? I think everyone of us like it. When someone addresses us by first name, we feel

Hi Sharon!
Yes it is worthwhile to create individual, personalized welcome letters to new PSAs using information from their Affiliate Profile.
Most of the time, when you send the welcome letter, the profile is not completed yet. But you can use whatever is available. Most of the time you can see what language the PSA has chosen as a Primary Language and the country s/he comes from.
It will be worthwhile to send him/her a welcome letter in his/her language if his/her language is not

Although, SFI provides drafts of welcome letters, which you can send to both new PSAs and CSAs, there is nothing wrong in writing your own personalised letters, as that is indeed a creative idea. However, for a team leader who is receiving scores or hundreds of new sign ups on a daily basis, this maybe a huge load to carry, for he or she will have to spend hours addressing each individual based on their profile. I think, in such a case, it would be wise to create a standard welcome letter, which

Yes

This is very worthwhile, because you get to call a PSA on their written commitment. This also shows the PSA, you are listening to their concerns and aspirations. This gives you an opportunity to review your PSA's profile and help them discover what it takes to become successful with SFI.

A profile is like an informal interview. If your PSA was serious about completing his/her profile sincerely, then this could be very valuable information in helping them attain their goals.

What better than to receive a personal message. It is the same as getting a personal invite to your Team.

Think on this. I send you a welcome without giving anything of myself expecting you to do all that is required of you, of which you don't rightly know, you still a newbie.

Or i send you a Personal Welcome note, helping you along the way and telling you the best ways of attaining your goals, the best way of using your TC Credits to earn VP's, the best advertising, ETC.

It is absolutely worthwhile. In their affiliate profile, your PSA will state their previous experience, goals, desired earnings. You can achieve a lot with that prospect if you use information from their profile in a personalized welcome letter.

Use information about your PSA’s previous experience with advertising to recommend them ways they can schedule and organize their work, what tools and methods they should use.

Use information about your PSA’s goals to suggest adequate
