The best ways to communicate with your downline are as soon as possible, frequently, and in a friendly manner

- using any method or methods of communication that you are both comfortable using.

You may not be comfortable meeting an affiliate face to face, while your affiliate is, or vice versa. Find a middle ground: Skype or phone.

It doesn't matter which methods of communication you and your downline use to communicate with each other - emails, team mails, ecards, text messages, live chat - as long as you are both comfortable using those methods - the more comfortable you both are, the more effective the communications can be.

As Soon As Possible
- Welcome new affiliates as soon as possible, respond to questions as soon as possible, contact affiliates the moment you notice they may need praise, encouragement, tips or guidance.

Frequently
- In addition to communicating when your affiliates as soon as possible when required, don't let too long go by before communicating with them again. If it's nothing urgent, at least send some basic tips, reminders, or simply say hello and ask how they are. You don't want them to feel neglected.

In a Friendly Manner
- No problem your affiliates have should be too small for you to quickly give attention to. They are learning, just like you once had to. Be nice.

Be nice. Be comfortable. Be fast. Be friendly. Go far.

There are so many ways you can communicate with your downline here at SFI. Personally i find the instant chat an amazing tool for this. It shows that you are really there and not just some pencil pusher without personality. This is especially good when your affiliates are online at the same time as you. Its like having a phone conversation, Effective and you always receive the replies quicker.

I also like to send emails to my downline using their email address. This also shows that you are a real person there to help them become successful.

When congratulating team members for their efforts or on winning a Daily Grand drawing etc i love to send them E-Cards. This is a fun way to show the team that you are there and you do notice when they achieve a goal.

The best way to communicate with your downline is with respect, honesty, directness.

No matter how new to marketing a person is, how naive he or she is in marketing and dealing with people, or how foolish you think your downline is, you must treat the person with respect. He has needs, wants and dreams, and wants to capture them. You are his sponsor or co-sponsor and therefore you are responsible for guiding him and encouraging him to follow the path.

As he begins to learn about SFI, he may begin to insert his own ideas. You must communicate that we achieve success by following successful people.

Though many people push for creativity, you are to teach him duplication from both sides.As they resist what you say, you must communicate directly, no beating around the bushes, tell it as it is, with compassion in a way that encourages and dos not leave him with the feeling that you have just belittled him.

It doesn't matter which tool you use for the communication, as long as both you and the affiliate have and use the same service.

I would leave the translation work to him if you are English speaking and he is not. He is more likely to know which translator does the best with his language. That's not to say that you can not send him a short note in his language, but important mail should be sent in English as more people may be able to help him.

Begin with something uplifting and then deal with any problems directly. Problems do not have to be dealt with in a negative way. Find the positive side to all things. You are doing a good thing for him, helping him to succeed in business, not pointing out his faults.

The team mailers, of course, if you want to talk to your entire downline.

E-Cards and emails are more personal, and may be the little "kick" to get an affiliate started.

Stream posts are also a good way to communicate to a whole group, but on a smaller scale than team mail.

Whichever method works best for the specific situation of the moment, always speak to them as you would a good friend. Relax, be friendly without trying to invade their space, but enough to let them know you are genuinely interested in helping them succeed in SFI, and you would be pleased to help them if they will let you know what, if anything, they need help with.

Remember, you can let them know the water is available, and you can lead them to it, but you cannot make them drink it! Be the best friend/sponsor/helper you can, but they have to make the decision to do the doing. "Work with the workers"!:))...

Great question. It is the most common question we face in this business. There are many ways to communicate.

The first way is via e-mail, it is usually the first communication in the welcome letter to our downline.

The other form of communication through social networks, the most common is to Facebook. Facebook set up groups for individual structures, speech areas, geographic areas. These are support groups, which are published instructions, links and files, and upline tagging to downline what is important to see or learn.

Also in those groups we publish and congratulations for the achievements of our downline. In this way, we show our downline how important they are to us.

Facebook is also a very effective, we can communicate via chat with your downline. It is very convenient, because it is fast and efficient, using PrtSc we can very easy to show the process of solving a particular task or problem.

Also we have and SFI tool, internal chat. In the top right corner of our website we have a little gray cloud. If the red circle next to the cloud, we have a message in chat. This is ideal for communication when our downline online (green circle on genealogy page).

If your downline from the same country, you can communicate by telephone. And if you're in the same city, it is preferred do a homes business presentations, with socializing, why not!

The best way to communicate with your downline is when you are able to get your point across clearly and simply. Make your message simple and concise. Show empathy and understanding in your message. Be efficient in communicating the salient points about SFI and TripleClicks. Don’t overload them with so much information. Teach them how to do SFI step by step. Give them the basic information first: SFI Basics and the LaunchPad lessons. Teach them the importance of becoming a Fast-Track member.

Communicate with them as often as you can via team mails, SFIM chat, Stream posts, emails, Skype, Facebook, etc.

The most important thing is that you have an open communication with your downline. You should always be available to help and answer their questions about SFI.

Honestly, the best way to communicate with your downline is to meet them where they are. If you know them personally, then a weekly follow-up call is going to serve you best. This way rapport is never lost and you provide direct one-on-one instruction in your own voice. Even though we live in the 21st century, personal communication never gets old.

Likewise, if you 'met' them online, then you can rest assured that you will find them on their favorite social venues. I always exchange my social network info with my team. Since, I predominantly operate my business online, I've used skype, email, and social networks to communicate with my team. I prefer email since most of my team is from remote places around the world. A few affiliates have tried to communicate over the phone remote and sometimes the connection is not good so email can be personable and direct.

Moreover, your active team members will be right here at SFI. So SFI Chat, team mail, and ECards still work for active members. Bottomline, communication is a two way street. If your PSAs/CSAs/ECAs are not providing you direct feedback then remember all is not lost. SFI is highly integrated so that you can follow the activity of your team. Work with the workers and always respond to your team mail, email, and other requests. By becoming an active communicator yourself, you are sure to break the ice with some members of your team and they will respond to your emails and other forms of communication. Open the door, then lead the way.

The team mail, stream and your team members email (if it has been registered).

Using all 3 of these venues will provide you the means to send your team members your motivational words. Words of congratulations and words of encouragement.

I, myself, use the team mail multiple times a week. Not just the 1 time to gain the VP. The same goes with the stream messages that I post for my team members. If you have given your email to your team members, you will find that some of them will send you a message this way and that is how they communicate with you.

Lastly, I would say to use all 3 of the abilities you have at your finger tips. Don't hold back to the minimum to simply gain your VP.

Hi!
I will tell you how i am doing it.
To all my downline i send mails,once a week.Then when i see them on MOVERS i open their VP Ledger to see what are they doing,because that is the sign they want to work.Then if i see they missed something i send them a message through SFI chat and tell them,If they respond and ask for some kind of help i respond them,but also tell them that they can reach me faster and easier on Facebook if they want.
I let them choose the way of communication and also frequency of that communication.
If they want to work they know that they can count on my help whenever they need,if they do not, my mail once a week will be just reminder that they are in SFI.
That way i am not boring to them,and there is still that hope they will wake up and start working.
If you try to communicate with them too often,i think it will be too much.Because, when you start you have so many things to read and learn,and unnecessary reading material could have opposite results from what you wanted to accomplish.
Hope this will help you!
Wish you a lot of success in SFI!

Hi there!

When I get a new affiliate I send him/her an e-mail straight away and then try to find them on Facebook. Usually the people which I find on Facebook start working, the other ones, usually don't.

When they are new, I spend more time training them. Sometimes I spend even few hours on Facebook with them telling them what and how.

After that, my downline usually contact me when they have some problem or to chat a little. Every week I send them a team e-mail. I always congratulate them on their success, I congratulate them when they have a Birthday or some other important events.

From time to time I make my own little webinars for my downline.

It is never to much to communicate with your downline, but always tell them they are free to contact you if they have a problem as you don't won't to be too boring. Use the methods of communication that suit you and them the most.

Hope I helped! Wishing you success!
