The new CSA Exchange program is one of the best changes to SFI recently, and it is already creating a positive buzz among affiliates in the SFI community.

Yes, you should take advantage of this new CSA Exchange program for growth and success.

You can now exchange all your inactive CSAs from other countries into the CSA Exchange Pool for CSAs from your own country through www.sfimg.com/fp/MyAccount/CSAExchange.

The idea is to actively harness the power of this exchange for increased activity in your team, if CSAs are properly matched with Co-Sponsors who share the same language and culture and will therefore result in better communication and compatibility.

The CSA Exchange allows you to swap eligible CSAs from other countries, who have been in your Genealogy for many months and not making any progress, not logging in and visiting their homepage, or been inactive for many reasons, to receive an equal number of CSAs from your country.

The swap may also do wonders for you and for these inactive CSAs. It may re-ignite their enthusiasm or reawaken their desire to know more about SFI if they are working with someone they can relate and communicate with ease.

Keep your active CSAs who have been working with you and with whom you have built trust and friendship. When you receive new CSAs from your own country from the Exchange Pool, your business may experience growth and vibrancy as well as success.

Good day Romeo,

My response to your question above would be yes. Why?

That is solely because the major resons as to why the CSA exchange came about is to
1. Wake up inactive affiliates.
2. Increase activities and generate sales.
3. Help to build their businesses as well as improve their financial status.

Its in this regard that SFI had to match Co-sponsors to CSAs by country which from their records has shown a positive impact as CSA has increased activities due to better communications and compatibility in regards to language, culture, etc.

But there are certain CSAs that would be excluded from the list of exchange which are:-
1. If CSA is already from your own country.
2. Have a current Standing Order.
3. Are red-flagged in your Genealogy.
4. Have a confirmed bad e-mail address.
5. Were EA this month or last month.

That is why we need to think well before getting our CSAs exchanged because once they have been exchanged, we can't get them back.

The advantages of Csas being assigned to you from the same country are:-
1. Better communication with CSAs regarding their SFI business.
2. Being able to develop rapport with the Csas hereby building their trust.
3. Being able to communicate with the Csas in their preferred Language, thereby removing the initial Language Barriers as well as Cultural issues.
4. With better communication now, you have the chance of making these new CSAs active which will help in your business as you are trying to build a team of both active PSAs and CSAs.
5. You'l be able to explain how SFI/Tripleclicks work better and how your new CSAs can make their business grow.
6. You will be able to support them better and thus help them to grow their business.

Hope this information is quite helpful?

All the best.

The easy answer is YES! Take advantage of this latest tool for SFI Affiliates.

The first thing to look at is your genealogy that is eligible for the exchange by using the filters.
I would look at those who have not logged in, in the past 90 days, then consider are these people from a country where a language barrier would prevent your personal email communications having an impact. If you answered yes for both of these reasons then I would recommend you put those CSAs into the exchange.

If you have a lot of CSAs you can look at those that have not logged in in 60 days and 30 days as well and consider putting them in the exchange if the country indicates a possible language barrier.

If the CSAs are from your country and language is not an issue, then I recommend looking at weather they respond to email. Try emailing them individually with questions that you would like an answer to, such as "What goals are you trying to reach this month? How can I help you reach this goal? Do you understand how SFI works and how to best earn VP?" At this point if I do not receive a response to an email then the following month I would put those CSAs in the exchange with the hope that they find a successful match, with the consideration that there is still the possibility of language being an issue because people move from other countries..

The best part is that the exchange can match affiliates to their home countries and help match up people that can speak the same language. Google translate is a good tool but it doesn't take the culture and slang and other little details into consideration. Those errors can range from hilarious to down right offensive.

I've been thinking about the new CSA Exchange program and wondering if I should try it.

On the one hand I love the idea that I have an international team with CSAs from over 50 countries represented AND I would really like to have ACTIVE CSAs from EVERY country in the World - Wouldn't that be GREAT?

But the reality is the overwhelming majority of my CSAs are inactive - so what is the point of keeping them when nothing is happening.

AND just suppose by exchanging one of them for one from my country I get an ACTIVE CSA and so does the Co-Sponsor from the exchanged CSA's home country - then, all of a sudden, SFI has grown by TWO ACTIVE CSAs (and by extension TWO ACTIVE PSAs). HOW GREAT IS THAT?

So I have decided to embrace this program.

But what criteria should I use in selecting the CSAs I wish to exchange?

Well, I thought my first "cull" should be those CSA's who have NEVER earned a SINGLE VersaPoint.

So that is what I have done.

And I will try AGAIN to reactivate those CSAs I have that have in the past earned at least one VP since they joined SFI.

Just today one CSA who had been inactive for a few months did log in and earn some VP. So I have sent him a tip E-Card.

The CSA Exchange is a new initiative by SFI and time will tell how well it will work and with trial and error each of us will discover what works best for us.

I suggest you do just that - Give the CSA Exchange a go - transfer some CSAs to it and see what happens.

I will also be regularly reviewing my CSA Exchange strategy.

I would say it would be advantageous to everyone (yourself, the CSA & the cosponsor who receives them) because you can put inactive CSAs who do not speak your language into the Exchange, and I am sure they will be placed with someone who speaks their language.

If a CSA does not speak or read English well, it will be very much more difficult for them to learn about SFI/TC. I'm sure many CSAs (as well, probably, as PSAs) go dormant because they cannot figure out what/how to do.

I would look at the opportunity to exchange your CSAs as a positive act for your business. If all works correctly, you should wind up with potentially most of your CSAs speaking your language, making it easier for you to guide them and for them to better understand the program, and proceed into creating a successful business!!

Sounds like win-win for all to me!!

I wish you success with your endeavors:))...

If you have inactive CSAs, YES put them into the new CSA Exchange. I think it is a good step forward in getting a team. I have put my CSAs into the new CSA Exchange some days ago. But there can arise also some problems. I shall mention it at the end. First I would like to say something about the advantages:

1. You will be able to communicate with them in your language;
2. It will be easier to explain the activities and possibilities with SFI and TripleClicks;
3. It will be easier to persuade them to be active and do regularly the daily tasks;
4. Perhaps you will meet them personally;
5. You will be able to exchange positive experiences;
6. Most probably you will create new friendships;
7. Team building will be easier.

However, there is a problem at the moment and therefore I hope I haven’t made a mistake by selecting all my inactive CSAs for exchange. CSAs Exchange program foresees CSAs from "your own country". It is fine when it is a question of a large country, but in case of a small country having in total less than a million inhabitants, most probably you will never get new CSAs. Perhaps in due time SFI will make it possible to select CSAs from several countries.Therefore I suggest you to be careful while selecting the CSAs to be exchanged. And, perhaps, even inactive affiliates can be made active though consistent efforts by establishing good rapport.

I wish you a great success.

This is a very good question.
1. I think SFI is progress day by day after 17 years long research in marketing. CSA exchange program is a good program. From our own country people speak much confidently rather than other countries. So we must go for our own country CSA and exchange with other countries CSA.

2. Local language is a great factor in communication and conveyance people about some project. If CSAs are inactive there will be great chance to activate our own country CSAs but other countries

3. CSAs may be difficult to motivate because of culture difference, language and different time zone to communicate on A2a chat tool. Also telephone call is not possible to another country. So overall our own country CSAs are good and better to motivate than other country CSAs. Hope this answer is helpful.

Practically, you have those CSAs who have shown no activity so far and those who are already working with you. From this concept, you may put your inactive CSAs in the CSA Exchange program while of course retaining in your team those Worker-CSAs.

The reason why SFI has come up with this program is it has been observed that there have been increased activities from CSAs who are “at home” in terms of “better communications and compatibility in relation to language, culture, etc”. It is a potential change factor that will have a really favorable impact on both the PSAs and CSAs under your team. Why?

According to experts, “differences between people within any given nation or culture are much greater than differences between groups. Education, social standing, religion, personality, belief structure, past experience, affection shown in the home, and a myriad of other factors will affect human behavior and culture.” We can thus see that CSAs coming from the same countries belong to the same group as being “fellow countrymen”. From this idea, if a CSA is with his own countrymen who understand and live with the same culture and practices, there would be more interactions and problems should easily be talked about and resolved. Collaterally, language barriers are eliminated and the ability to exchange information about how to succeed in your SFI business becomes universal among the concerned affiliates. And if those CSAs get united with their countrymen, they will be potential supporters/customers of the E-Commerce Associates (ECAs) from their respective countries. The positive effect of the CSA Exchange program therefore is enhanced and you can imagine what this would bring to the Executive Pool as well.

Meanwhile, your worker-CSAs (Movers) should be retained in your team. Presumably, as these affiliates are actively working with you, it would be safe to conclude that they have no problem with your language, culture and leadership. And of course, you deserve to have them with you on your way to the top ranks because they too, are go-getters who want to reach the top as well!

I believe that the new CSA Exchange is a quite a good innovation and you should put some of your CSAs in it.

The focus is to encourage those inactive CSAs to become active and also those CSAs that log in now and then to become more committed to SFI.

Put simply, you select and place your inactive CSAs from countries other than yours in the pool and they are exchanged with CSAs from your country who other co sponsors have put in the pool. Those CSAs will of course also be inactive, otherwise their co sponsors would not have put them in the exchange pool in the 1st place.

The hope is that people from your country would respond better to you as their co sponsor as you would be a lot more compatible with them and communication should be a lot easier with such matters as language, culture, local issues etc.. Its early days yet but I believe that it should work.

In my case however, I was too slow off the mark. I come from a small country and there are not very many of us in SFI and I suspect that all the available CSAs in the pool from my country have already been swapped. I put a small number of CSAs in the pool last week and they are all still sitting there!

I say yes. Use the CSA Exchange and put CSAs in it.

You will of course only select the inactive ones to put into the pool and keep the good CSAs for yourself. If they are working fine and are responding to your sponsoring activities, leave them alone. Select the inactives from other countries especially those who are not responding to you, struggling with English and you do not speak their language.

In fact, I already exchanged close 226 CSAs and very soon I will have 96 more exchanged. In fact, I already started communicating with them by going through their details through Genealogy. Some of them also responded with questions immediately.

I am pretty confident that soon, I will have quite active CSAs also in my Team!!

Conclusion:

Based on the advantages explained and the results that I received, I would say again, "YES", please go ahead and put your CSAs from other countries in to the new CSA Exchange Program immediately. While doing it, please take care to retain your active CSAs irrespective of their Country of Origin.
