First, it is of paramount importance to fully understand the purpose of the CSA Exchange: to improve communications between co-sponsor and the CSA in a manner that benefit them both buy impacting positively the CSA and helping them grow their business.

The institution of Co-Sponsor is unique to SFI, in this industry of Online Marketing and MLM. Its purpose is to enhance the new affiliate's opportunities for success by providing them with additional support to complement what they may be getting from their sponsor or in some instance, filling in the gaps if the sponsor is not fully forthcoming in playing their role adequately.

The CSA Exchange goes further in an attempt to remove the barriers of communications that may stem from differences in language, culture and time zones which determine when we are actively working on our businesses at the website.

By matching CSAs and Co-Sponsors from the same countries, speaking the same languages, sharing the same culture, being actively present at the SFI site at the same working hours, there are much greater opportunities for CSAs and Co=Sponsors to interact through SFI IM and the Forum, especially in the Country and Regional sections of the Forum.

Thus, it is in the best interest of the Co-sponsor to take fully advantage of the CSA exchange. The Co-sponsor is the only one who can initiate the process. He/she should think of the best interest of the CSA as well.

It is also important to keep in mind that not all CSAs are eligible for the exchange. We can identify those who are eligible either through the links in the CSA Exchange announcement or through the Genealogy filters.

I have personally put 350 CSAs through the exchange. I used several criteria to select them from the list of the eligible. As I use English as my working language here, my selection for the CSA exchange has been based on those who do not use English, in addition to those who have not show any activity at all, and those who have not logged in SFI for several months.

Hopefully, a new co-sponsor who speaks their language, share their culture and is active during the same working hours, will have greater chances in connecting with those CSAs and helping them start building their SFI businesses.

Such a result will be a WIN/Win for all.

Ok i will be totally honest here and simple :

if your CSA are doing well and earning you a steady income, even if it is small, but its consistent then no why should you ? Even if you cannot understand them they are still generating you an income. Praise these people don't get rid of them, you can communicate easily using the following tool :

https://translate.google.co.uk

It works well for me :)

If you have all inactive CSA then yes you should enter them and maybe have more joy with your local CSA. The advantage to to having local CSA is you can organise events, host your own seminar even! why not!

Hope this answers your question and good luck!

My answer is YES.

This new CSA Exchange program of SFI might become very useful for some, if not all, of us SFI'ers because majority of our assigned/re-assigned CSA's came from other parts of the world and speak different languages.

Language barrier is probably one of the major reasons why we, as co-sponsors do not receive any reply from our acquired CSA's. Maybe they hardly understand or do not get a clear grasp of the real message we are sending them even if they use the Translator.

With this new program, we can be given the chance to get CSA's from the same country where we live and speak the same language. We can easily construct any message that we like to transmit to them and feel confident that we will be understood. But the end-result might not be a hundred-percent outcome, but at least we can do our best to send out messages in our own language.

Obviously yes – you should put your CSAs into new CSA exchange program. It is a great step taken by SFI

Just an example – suppose you have a long line of CSAs in your Genealogy and you are watching most of them are inactive since a long days. You are communicating with them with your valuable tips, suggestions, advice time to time but they are not responding in one hand and not to proceed further on the other

What is the reason? The most important reason is language barrier. You are sending mails to them but they are not able to read and as a result they are silent. You may ask me about Google Translate but according to my opinion Google Translate is not so enough for different languages of different countries worldwide

CSA exchange program is a great benefit to us as we can easily communicate with our team members in our own national language. CSA can translate it in their provincial language to utilize Google Translate, if necessary. So we should voted in favour of CSA Exchange Program without any hesitation

Hope this will helpful

if you have CSAs who are from another country or region where your language is not spoken and they are not active, you should put them into the CSA Exchange.

If your CSAs have not been active for over 90 days and they are from a region or country where your language is not spoken, you should put them into the CSA Exchange.

If, on the other hand, your CSAs are active, whether they speak your language or not, then do not put them into the CSA Exchange.

The CSAs that have not been active and who do not speak your language may become active when placed with a co-sponsor who speaks the same language they do. This is not guaranteed, but try it anyway.

The CSAs who are active on your team will help build your business, whether they speak your language or not. you just may gain some new CSAs who speak your language and who will be active, and this will help to grow your business. for this reason, you should use the CSA Exchange, and use it wisely.

I believe putting CSAs into the exchange is very advantageous to both you and the CSA. The CSA gains from being matched with someone from his own country, region and language. this makes it more likely that he will become active.
You receive in exchange a CSA from your own country and most likely speaking your language, making communication much easier between you and also making it more likely the CSA will respond and become active.

Definitely I participated in new CSA exchange.

Firstly I choose people rom different countries whose language is not english. These people has more chance of communicating with people who can speak their first language.

Secondly , I choose CSAs who are registered and not collecting any points or minimum points. They will get a another chance before removing from the list.

Thirdly, I choose CSAs who are registered and actively participated and collected VP for some time, But during last 6 month no activity for some reason.

Those works for me slowly. but for better results.
Good Luck for all.

You must decide which CSAs to exchange and which ones to keep.

The purpose is to remove any barriers as a result of being from a different part of the world or not being able to communicate in the CSA"s language. It is hoped that someone from their country would do better at communicating and therefore encourage activity and growth at SFI.

Of course you would not want to exchange CSA's who are active and are doing Ok with you as a Co-sponsor.

Remember we are only Co-sponsors, the Sponsor must be taken into consideration. If tie CSA can do with the transfer because a language or culture barrier is there, is it same with the Sponsor?

If the sponsor is of the same country or can speak the same language as the CSA the exchange may not be necessary. In this case I would not bother to exchange.

1- I would not exchange CSA's of a different country or language who are active unless they have expressed difficulties staying on at SFI and the difficulties are related to their country or language.

2- I would not exchange CSA's who have sponsors from the same country or speak the same laungage. You can, but it may serve no purpose as their sponsor may already be taking care of those issues.

3- I would exchange a CSA who has difficulty communicating in English and could benefit from either a Sponsor or a Co-sponsor from his country or speaks his language.

Participating into the new CSA Exchange could increase the number of your movers being active in developing and growing their SFI business.

SFI understands the vital role of communication in staying connected with your PSAs/CSAs and in maintaining the momentum and growth of your SFI business thus making the way into another innovation with the new CSA Exchange.

When to put your CSAs into the CSA Exchange and when not to?

- You can deliver your training and support best to your currently inactive CSAs who belong to your country and culture, therefore don’t exchange them.

- You need to remember that culture profoundly influences how people think, communicate, and behave. Exchanging your CSAs that live in other countries for CSAs that live in your country is a win/win for all parties involved.

- Don’t consider exchanging your active CSAs from other countries, who like and understand well your leadership style. You can identify them by their daily performance of their To-Do List and their active participation in SFI Forum, Ask SC and through your correspondence with them.

- Your PSAs are someone else’ CSAs, by exchanging your CSAs that live in other countries for CSAs that live in your country, you could make a positive impact on getting someone else’ PSAs more active and encourage his/her PSAs that have been long inactive. This could work the same for you. How? As CSAs get assigned to new co-sponsors of the same country – their new co-sponsors who belong to the same culture are in a better position to personally guide them in their native language. This could result in significant increase of activity in your organization.

The new CSA Exchange program is a versatile solution to solve communication issues related with language and culture. SFI is a borderless network marketing business and we can’t avoid dealing with cross cultural communication. In today’s global business community, there is no single best approach to communicating with one another. The key to cross-cultural success is to develop an understanding of, and a deep respect for, the differences.

There is no doubt in my mind that it is the best thing you can do for yourself and your CSA's.

I try to get my inactive PSA's active by re-assigning them to active affiliates speaking the same language as them - if I could do the same with my CSA's I would have done so.

Now SFI gave us a way to do exactly that - swop inactive CSA's for other CSA's speaking the same language as you. It will not guarantee you will get active CSA's but you might. If you get inactive CSA's and you can not wake them up nothing changed.

Nothing gained, nothing lost.
