How long your PSAs and CSAs depend on you could be a matter of individuality.

There could be some affiliates that follow your lead/example and at some point, (I suspect when they feel comfortable) will take that step out on the own without the need for your support.

If affiliates are completely new to an online business and/or internet marketing, they may depend on you throughout the whole process of growing/building their business. This is not a bad thing. Some people still believe that if it is working, don’t try to fix it.

There may be some that just need to know that you are there for them even if they really do not need your help. A perception could be that you play the part of a safety net to catch them just in case they happen to fall or feel like they are falling.

As the PSAs and CSAs move up into the Leadership positions, you may need to encourage them to stand on their own with the understanding that you are right there if they feel like they need your help.

New situations, questions and experiences happen every day so the chances of an affiliate reaching out to you for guidance is highly probably at any time, no matter if they are brand new or a more seasoned member.

From my perspective, no matter how long it may be, if a PSA or CSA asks for assistance, you as their Leader should be there with a smile and always willing to lend a helping hand.

How long should you help your downline members? For as long as needed with these caveatsL

1, Financial help - SFI advises against financial help because it can make members dependent of you.
Some minor financial help such as a $2.00 gift certificate, can be very beneficial if used as a reward for something. These go a long way toward helping someone at the end of the month make EA2.

2. Construct and run regular contests for whatever you decide will improve your business as well as theirs. These contests will keep your group active and involved. Get some ideas from SFI training.

3. No matter how long they have been in your downline, be sure and answer any questions or messages they send you. This is help that you will have to provide as long as you are their upline.

4. When someone remains with you for some time, they become someone that you can count on as part of your active group, but they still need your encouragement and mentoring. This is a great use for the Stream and you weekly newsletters.

5. SFI is a business each individual builds for themselves, so you have to be considerate of them and careful that you don't make them too dependent on you at any stage of your and their businesses. It is important to let them know new items and remind them of old news every so often because this keeps them from becoming complacent.

As long as they need to - if they are workers.

I have absolutely no problems at all with my PSAs and CSAs, regardless of their rank and time in SFI, coming to me for help.

I look upon it this way - I don’t have all the answers regarding this business and I suspect that even the most seasoned affiliates would say the same. We are really all here to support and help each other – but at different levels.

The relationship I have with my brand new members is different from those I have with my seasoned, active and ranked members. A new member will normally receive training, guidance and support from me. Yes I suppose you can say they are depending on me for help but only if they are willing to help themselves. If I can see that they are doing their lessons, reading and trying to learn the business, I will do my best for them. If they don’t work and ignore my help and suggestions – I move on and work with the workers.

I make no apologies for this approach. I am trying to run a business.

As a member become seasoned, active or ranked, our business relationship changes. Our personal relationship naturally changes as well. We become co-workers and we share ideas, give each other tips and help. They are no longer dependent on me – we are business partners.

Everyone is different. Some people will grasp what is required and catch the vision very fast. Soon these people will be streaking away on their own and building strong businesses for themselves. You will be very lucky to benefit from them - even getting advice from them, rather than you giving it.

Others, however take a long time to feel their way around and may need considerable help. Sometimes they may ask frustrating questions which have already been answered in their launchpad lessons or in a recent Ask SC answer. Never mind - just be patient and help them by answering their questions and guiding them to the appropriate places in the site where the answer is found. This will help them realise that they can find the answers for themselves - and they will in time.

Remember that you are a team leader, not a boss nor a pusher like a sports coach. Also remember that your PSA/CSA joined SFI of their own free will, and can leave whenever they want. If you are too pushy or too unresponsive, you may drive your PSA away. Your role is a mentor, and you should continue that for as long as your team member requires it. Don't forget if you can help build up the confidence and knowledge of your team members until they become successful, their success will become yours, too.

Depend on you? I would say never. PSAs and CSAs have to realize that this is their business, not yours. You are there for support and to teach. So, none of them should depend on you, in order to see success.

This would be like saying in order to make money at an everyday job you depend on your supervisor to get paid. Last i checked, your supervisor doesn't issue you your check. So saying depending on them would not be the right thing to say.

Now, if your question was how long should you support all of your PSAs and CSAs? That's an answer I can help you with. You should support them as long as you want them to continue to help you be successful. In other words, your entire time with SFI.

In order to be successful in SFI you need to have a productive team. If your PSA or CSA stops working then you lose out on all of your and their hard work.

So continue to support them with answers to their questions and tips to help them continue to be successful and they will continue to shine. In turn, you will continue to reap the benefits of your efforts.

Hopefully this has answered your question and has given you the drive to continue to support your team.

Thank You,

My nswer is as long as they keep asking for your help, please remember you are their, leader, mentor, adviser name it.

Never give up because your PSAs and CSAs are the life blood of your sfi business because how fast they grow and become productive can potentially expand the scope of your income duplication and residual earnings. Infact I desire to have Affiliate who will constantly a d constructively ask for my help as long as they need it. This has the ability to enable them become BTL, STL, GTL, PTL or even DTL if they are properly guided and adviced.

If you continue to be of help to them and they eventually become, and mantain it for just a year to two, your earrings will even speak for itself and you will never regret you did.

Please and please never get tired of being of help to your PSAs and CSAs. Hope this helps.
My regards.

How long should your PSAs and CSAs depend on you for help? May I ask you this question: How long should your family depends on you for help?

Of course, definitely our family can depend on us for help anytime they need us. And there is no time frame or dead end when it comes to caring and helping any member of our family who needs help.

In SFI, the management, staff, our sponsor, uplines, PSAs, CSAs, PRMs, a2a friends, forum friends, and league mates we are one BIG FAMILY. We treat each other the same way as we treat our family and extended families.

Our new PSAs are like new born babies. Their first months is the most crucial time for their survival and success in this business. So we need to help them build a strong foundation and equipped them with knowledge about SFI, TripleClicks, Internet and affiliate marketing. We should teach them how to use the marketing strategies and tools that SFI has prepared for them to help them in building their SFI business. We need to let them understand the importance of 1) Becoming a Fast-Track Member, 2) Maintaining the EA rank each month, 3) Becoming a Team Leader, and 4) Doing all the tasks that can generate multiple residual income.

Remember, the success of your PSAs and CSAs in this business is also your success. As the popular adage says, “What you sow is what you reap.” If you help your team members earn $$$ in SFI, you also help yourself generate fat commissions every month. This is an example of the Law of the Harvest: “You reap more than you sow.”

You are the Sponsor of your PSAs and the Co-Sponsor to your CSAs.

They are your team members, and "You" are their "Leader" (Sponsor/Co-Sponsor).

Your SFI Business and your "Success" are based on "Your Team's Success".

We are taught throughout our SFI website, and within our daily To-Do List, to always communicate with our PSAs and our CSAs, and to always send out our weekly group mails.

Always be Supportive of your team members, for they are one of the "Keys" to your SFI Success. Without a team, you cannot become successful.

To answer your question, "For how long should my PSAs and CSAs depend on me for help?"

"Always"! There is no time limit.

For as long as they need your assistance and guidance.

When your team members know that you are there for them, they might just be there for their team also. (Duplication), Which could make them want to work harder to succeed, to grow their own SFI business.

If you want a successful team, you will always need to be there for them, to help them when the time comes for your assistance.

Always remember, that their success, is also "Your Success"!

Also, each month we receive a SFI Newsletter, within the newsletter, there is always some information about, "How to be an Awesome Sponsor". Always read the wonderful tips that will help you to be a better sponsor.

As a guide and a mentor, you are there to assist them as long as you both are active members of SFI. Working with workers is your first motto. It should not be looked as dependency but a mutual support that is provided to grow each others business.

You as a sponsor are on a constant course of advancing and the business is evolving with new features on day to day basis hence, your support to your team members should also be constant throughout.

The degree of dependence of your PSAs and CSAs on you would diminish as they grow their business and acquire knowledge about it. With time and extent of growth of your team members, they would gradually become self reliant but that does not give you a reason to stop supporting.

As your success lies in theirs, your support towards them should change in a way to provide solidarity to their growth and you should share with them new ways to expand their business.

The topics on which you support would change depending on the stage at which your team member is, but can’t be eliminated all together.

As we’re building our home business with SFI and TripleClicks, while we are on our way to the top levels, we will be enrolling several affiliates. These affiliates that we enroll are known as our PSAs (Personally Sponsored Affiliates). We will also receive affiliates in which we are the co-sponsor these are known as our CSAs (Co-Sponsored Affiliates).

A main part of our leadership role is that we should be assisting our teammates (PSAs and CSAs) in getting their new business started on a good foundation. Once this is accomplished it is to our best interest to continue assisting them throughout their journey in SFI.

Our association with our teammates will never cease as long as they do not opt out or become inactive for a year or more. Because this relationship never ends, our support for our teammates never ends.

As team leaders we should be learning new things all the time. This new knowledge that we acquire needs to be shared with the teammates that we have in our group down-lines.

If you have affiliates that no longer want your help and assistance well that is fine let them block your emails or something. But in most cases your teammates will be following you as long as you are “leading” them in the right direction.

Look at the example Gery has set for all of us. His assistance never stops – like other company CEO (Corporate Executive Officer) he could just disappear and let us all figure things out for ourselves. No, he is setting the example of working with this team (which is all of us) and he will continue assisting us as long as needed. Let us follow this example.
