Hi Erica, the affiliate manager is a tool designed to help manage the activities of your PSAs after joining SFI.
The affiliate manager plays a major role on how your PSAs succeed his/her SFI business journey.
Essentially, the affiliate manager is designed for the sponsor to use in providing guidance,
be able to reach your affiliate as at when necessary, track your assistance to your PSAs,
leave private notes/comments for them on what to do, monitor their performance, as well as monitoring
the communication of your PSAs with their upline leaders.
1. SFI is a type of business you need support from people who are ahead of you, if you must succeed.
As a result you are to provide support essentially in all areas of SFI business to your new PSAs.
Example of such support include how to start the business, what to do, what are priorities, maximizing opportunities etc.
- Teach your affiliate on how to access, read and apply the training materials - Home page > Training menu.
- Teach your affiliate on how to use the FORUM to ask questions about things new to him/her.
- Explain the importance of talking to you and other upline members concerning his/her challenges.
- If possible, give specific time of day he/she can meet you online if he/she like to talk with you one-on-one.
- Right away, announce any motivation that you can offer to help him/her gain her footing;
2. First one week in SFI determines our interest in continuing with the business or pull out.
The main reason why we have high percentage of affiliates (more than 80%) not logging-in after
the first day is because they dont know where to go and what to do. You as a sponsor will have
communicate with your new PSAs just signed-in; so you can give them immediate information and welcome
them into the business. So all communication details: email, phone numbers etc are available on the contact tab.
3. SFI made provision for standard checklist of what you should do to assist your PSAs. Some of this include:
- Contact, introduced, and briefly described your background, goals etc.
- Add your PSAs to your newsletter mailing list
- Discussed about your PSAs goals, family, etc.
- Tell your PSAs of the incentives, if any, you offer.
- Informed your PSAs of any special support resources you offer, such as co-op advertising, team newsletter, etc.
- Offered general assistance to your PSAs on setting up his business, answering questions, providing direction, etc.
- Provide your contact information (e-mail, phone number, IM address, Skype number, etc.
4. Leave private note for each of your PSAs on where they have achieved success, and where they need to improve.
- Congratulating them when they perform well is essential, as this will boost their morale:
- Know who is active and inactive,use the tab to identify who to motivate for greater effort.
- Based on VP earned, some of your affiliates may need encouragement; use the movers tab to find out and contact them.
- Monitor the status of each of your affiliate for appraisal of their performance.
- Check for affiliates that have been off the scene for a long time, and contact him/her and give word of encouragement.
5. Monitor the activities of your PSAs.
Follow-up on the progress of your PSAs and contact them with appropriate feed backs:
- Alway appreciate the effort of each of your team members e.g for being consistent every month;
- Congratulates anyone of them that WINs in any contest e.g E365, Daily Grand, T-Time, Knock Out Trivia etc.
- Always look at your PSAs and CSAs VPLedger page and tell them what they can do to improve themselves;
- Emphasize always on the use of training materials at the SFi homepage for better understanding of the business.
6. Encourage your PSAs to always communicate with you and other upline leaders incase of difficulties:
Mostly, many PSAs do not know who to talk to when they join SFI newly. So it is essential that you arrange
chat sessions with your PSAs where you will mention the importance of talking to everyone (including you)
any issues they are facing in the business, so they can be assisted.
Overall, getting started is the hardest part of any journey. Make sure that you are there to offer friendly guidance
and support in a timely manner as your PSAs start out on their journey.
Wishing You Business Success!
