The question caught me off guard because I'm wondering what you consider to be, "help". My "help" is, and will be, exactly the same for as long as anyone is on my Team.

My approach is simple to PSA's:

1 - You are a Business Owner.
2 - You do not work for me, and I will respect you as the owner of your business.
3 - Because I have been here longer, I may have tips that you have not learned. I am available at all times to share those tips.

While we want to be the one to do the training of our PSAs and CSAs, we certainly do not want them to depend on us so strongly that they fail if we get sick or go out of an area of internet coverage for a period of time.

Instead, we, as active sponsors, should aim our initial training at teaching them how to find their own answers, how to explore both SFI and TC web sites, how to best use the Forum, ASK SC, and the help desk including ticket writing.

This way instead of depending

The question asked is how long should my PSAs and CSAs depend on me for help? Well I would say as long as it is necessary! Some PSAs learn much faster than others. In my case, initially, I needed my Sponsor's help constantly and fortunately, he was always there to answer my questions. After all when I help my PSAs and CSAs eventually all my time and effort will pay me dividends when they succeed in monetary terms! So my advance investment will pay off eventually. Every digital and physical product

Your PSAs and CSAs depend on you for a life time.
For as long as they and you remain SFI member, they will always depend on you. Remember that you are their leader and they look unto you for guidance. Also, they trust you to help that is why they keep asking.
PSAs and CSAs are "our family" and we must be available to help them the need arises. Look at your PSAs and CSAs as your children. You need to be supportive, within the SFI platform, to your PSAs and CSAs until they stop

How long my PSAs and CSAs depend on me depends on many factors. Some of them are :
1) Their Educational background: If they are very well educated then its easier for them to understand the vast information available in SFI through various tabs and regular training provided by SFI almost every day. You can help them to make use of these wonderful resources till they themselves can do it on regular basis. Till that time you have to guide them.
2)Their ability to compose quality emails:

This seems like an odd question to ask because it seems like the reverse of the way I would want to think about my PSAs and CSAs. I want to be able to maintain contact with each and every person on my team who wants to be active because that way, I can keep motivating them effectively. If you're doing this correctly, you're just lending time, knowledge, and experience, and that's free and easy. Support them forever because that's how they keep earning you commissions and bonuses.

Lot of new development comes every now and then and a lot of question arise every

them as long as they need you.

Hello!

I believe it's your responsibility to be always on your team members' sides. I don't see my affiliates as dependents who need help. They want support and answers. The most important period to be by their sides and explain is the first month of joining. Of course if they have questions for you. Second and third month are also important to give as much information as you can. You can do it on chat with everyone or in weekly team mails as I do. So, the simple answer of your questions
