Using an autoresponder is one of the best business marketing strategies available for building a list and staying in contact with customers and in SFI with affiliates and potential affiliates.
Auto-responder is also a valuable marketing tool that can be used as thank-you notes, registration confirmations for events, and as referrals to complimentary resources that help materials be circulated easily. It offers many prospects, it help set your follow-ups, it could be simple and it helps to create

With an autoresponder system you can certainly save time.
In my opinion, however, be better not to use it.
Always be better to customize responses based on who be affiliated personnel.
Always be better to have a personal relationship, one by one, with the PSA showing interest and seriousness.
This can result in higher growth, or rather, a growth of better quality.
It certainly helps to improve their profits.

I personally don't like the concept of auto responder, as I feel ,each and every member of my team are unique and different to each other. Accordingly there quarries and problems also differs to each other. So how auto responder can help us ?

But we may use auto responder for delivering welcome message to our new enrolemants or for common messages we send to our whole team.

It's my personel view though and I may be wrong.I will eagerly read response of other experts about the

You should not use them with people you know, but you should use them in online promotion there you actually don't know who will visit your website until he/she signup for email news letter / more info from you. You can include some freebies to give out just for Sign Up to make it sweeter.

With people you know, or don't really know in "offline world" but you communicate with them regularly through chat messages on some social networks / forums / Skype groups etc.. it's better

Auto-responder is a useful tool. Like any other tools you should use it appropriately. It is best used for finding leads and follow-up for those who have shown interest and for general information.

BUT once you established connection with the person, I will not advise to use auto responder. The tool itself communicates impersonal dealings with people. No body wants to stay with you if you are not doing personal touch.

In SFI, you don't need auto responders, because the messaging

Personally I dont believe you need an autoresponder system in SFI,
Sometimes we get in our own way and we start to complicate things.
A personal message based on what your team has achieved outlining the movers and welcoming new team members will help build relitionships with your team, and would be much better than an generic email sent to all.

Personally I do not believe in auto-responders. Yes, sometimes when things are going well and we consequently need to send hundreds of emails then the temptation is most certainly there. However, nothing beats personal replies and attention. Reap what you sow. In the long run you will be glad you took the time to write those emails.

Autoresponders are a great way to initiate and continue a line of communication with prospects without having to spend all of your time tied to a chair emailing.
You simply create your initial and followup emails and then let the program do the work. It will keep your prospects informed and motivated to respond.
The only reason not to use one is if you don't want to be successful or if you haven't got a good series of emails already created.

Yes one should use auto-responder system if you encountered a flood of PSAs or CSAs.
This will pull their attention immediately. Then follow up with a personal message as soon as possible. This shows your attention and interest to help them and put a person behind the anonymous Net. This also indicated that it is not a computer program trying to get into their system.

When you followed up, hopefully the other person could see that you are real and from a certain country. And then
