CSA exchange policy can be applied prudently to those CSA who you feel are inactive and you find difficult to mentor due to either language difference or any other reason of your own. This option can harness the power in your team actively as you get new CSA in exchange from your own country that you would find easy to connect and guide.

When a CSA get a co-sponsor from similar cultural and lingual background, it may provide the required trust and give greater possibility of being active seeing your success. Hence it is important that you lead them by setting a good example; maintaining a robust profile and leadership page and show them a way to succeed. Be an awesome co-sponsor for them to duplicate your successful strategies and communicate well to guide and make them successful at SFI.

Although this may not give any surety of activeness but probability of success would definitely be higher. It would provide you an opportunity to work well with your new CSAs and set up a good communication link to not only harness activity in your team but also help you grow your business to next level.

Your success in creating activity would imply their success at SFI and in turn rebuffed commissions and success for you.

Therefore, the offer of exchanging your inactive CSAs from other countries is a win-win situation from all aspects you think of.

I would say yes, as well as no. Let me start with reasons you should use the CSA Exchange program.

1) There's a language barrier. You have affiliates who have a tough time understanding English, or the message you put out in regards to SFI is lost in translation.

2) Inactive CSAs, for one. You can sponsor a whole team of affiliates, but a sizeable chunk of them don't do anything and let their accounts sit idle until they're terminated. Plenty of sponsors can definitely vouch for this.

Reasons why you shouldn't: I can only think of one. The CSAs are already working around the clock to overcome language barriers and communicating with their Co-Sponsors. They put in work to build their SFI businesses, so exchanging them for new CSAs would be akin to willingly shooting oneself in the foot.

I think it's a 50/50% risk -
Affiliates exchange inactive CSA's in the hope to motivate the new CSA's with no language barriers, but it does not mean that all your fellow country team members will indeed become Active.
There is a great chance that they might, but you must be willing to take Risks in this business Or else you might be 'stuck' with inactive members who does not understand your motivational mails due to Language translation.

Everyone knows that the most successful people took Risks in life, -- if it depends on how much your willing to Risk - Give it a try...

Good luck to all exchanging, WE are all holding thumbs to gain a more active team of CSA's.

Wishing you success with it.

Hi Romeo,

I think that putting CSAs into the Exchange if they are not active and show no potential of being active is a great idea. Having some CSAs who speak your language is a huge advantage I think. I know that when I first joined if I received messages that were in another language, I simply ignored them. I have grown in both my practice and thinking and now I keep Google Translate open almost always but for someone just starting out there is a lot of information to learn. Not having to work extra to glean that information I think is an advantage.

I personally am excited about the Exchange and commend SFI for thinking of such a great idea and opportunity for us Affiliates. We are truly blessed to have such leadership as we have in Gery and the SFI team.

Great Question and I hope my answer helped as you are contemplating your options.

Be Strong and Keep the Faith!

My answer to you will be capital Yes! Why?
This is because
1. It is SFI's innovation to build their affiliates business. Not utilizing this feature is forfeiting SFI's plan for you to grow a lucrative and successful business.
2. You have an opportunity to relate better with people from your country and perhaps culture and language thereby building a team spirit of togetherness.
3. A cordial and mutual relationship can be built amidst you and new exchange CSAs thereby making them trust you resulting in them being active.
4. With good communication now, you have the chance of making these new CSAs active which is good business for you.
5. You'l be able to explain how SFI/Tripleclicks work better and how your new CSAs can maneveur their business and grow it.
6. You'l be able to support them better and thus help them to grow their business without much relying on you with time.
7. The language barrier is virtually broken thus creating a good atmosphere for communication.
I received a letter recently from a Nigerian exchange CSA asking information on how to be active in the business. I mean, i was happy and i responded immediately.
The new exchange CSA Program is to relieve our frustration or challenge in dealing with inactive CSAs and i wouldn't want to miss it for the world.
So if SFI raise it for us, it'l be well worth it to maximize it for our own good in the business. Like an adage says, 'Opportunity comes but once.'
i'l advice you to go for it and change as many as possible leaving your active CSAs.
Wish you the best of luck.

People relate more to people that are like them - that's a fact. When you can communicate the same way as your prospects i.e. use the same jargon etc... you've then built an instant connection with your prospects (CSAs).

The truth of the matter is that if you can't build trust and credibility with your prospects, they won't trust your judgment or take your recommendations. One way to be on the road of good faith is to understand them and where they come from. That happens if you understand their culture and customs.

So, if you have CSAs that you think would be better served from someone in their own country/culture or if you have trouble relating to other cultures/countries, then maybe it may be in your best interest and the best interest of that CSA if you put them in the exchange.

YES for those CSA's that you have difficulty in communicating due to Language barrier.
- this CSA's might be more interested and may be enlightened by affiliates who live in the same country. They can converse clearly and could understand each other more.
NO for those CSA's that you have already get in touch with and are Movers.
- this CSA's have been doing good and is contributing to you. If you exchange them then you lose your precious movers.

The main reason of exchange is to have our sleeping CSA be awaken by the new co sponsor that lives in the same country.This will bride the communication GAP we are experiencing.

Of course this is a personal choice on how one would like to try to build up their own teams.

This choice is a No for me, because I think that developing a relationship with my own CSAs, even though many are from different countries, isn't worth throwing that relationship away.

Because SFI is a Worldwide company, gaining new PSAs and CSAs from other countries is a very interesting, pleasant and great experience.

Translation might always be an issue from time to time, but when people want to work together, they somehow seem to make things work out together with continued communication.

Exchanging your CSAs from other countries to gain some CSAs for your own countries, isn't going to guarantee any more workers.

It might, the program is still new and have to wait for some time to pass, to really see what type of results there are with the new CSA program.

There are many PSAs and CSAs that are very successful with SFI that are from other countries, and that is because they all have the desire to "Work" and "Build" their own businesses. They must use the translation that SFI has provided or another type of translator program.

I think that being a Good Sponsor, the best that you can be, and sharing and working with your team, no matter what country that they are from, is the key to having a successful team.

You have asked a good question which can be only made by you..

Go to your Genealogy Page and set your filters for not logged in the 30, 60 or 90 days.

Verify by looking at all the zero's next to members and which country they came from with no activity. These are the ones you would want to send to CSA Exchange pools now which will give you the opportunity to exchange for members from your country.

Also remember you can select any other of your members whom you have sent communication via e-card, team mail, PSA's and CSA's and emails with no results would be a good choice as well.

Just remember when you get your new CSA/PSA to start communicating with them by telling that they have just been assigned to your team and as their new sponsor you are ready to provide all support and help they may need to grow in SFI and become successful.

Just some Things I am doing ... Hope this helps.

Chances are better for your CSAs to become active when they can work with a co-sponsor that understands them. Notwithstanding, a dead horse can't be revived. Simply saying, if someone chooses not to do what is necessary to succeed in SFI changing sponsors isn't going to help either.

But, if a person is struggling to grasp the concepts of SFI because of geographic, and communication barriers then the CSA Exchange is the best thing since white bread! Why not give the CSA the best possible chance to succeed by working with a co-sponsor that understands them. This said, I do plan to put all of my inactive CSAs in the exchange. I'll phase them out of my genealogy and just maybe I'll get a CSA that can understand me and do dynamic things here at SFI.
