I feel that autoresponders are good as an initial tool to welcome new affiliates, and to make sure that everyone gets an initial response, but they are not very personal so the initial email or contact from an autoresponder needs to be followed up by a personal email or telephone call. In general I do not agree with a business run solely using autoresponders, but they do have there place as long as personal contact is maintained as well.

Personally I dont see any benefits in using an auto-responder system in SFI. Part of the 'rewards' in a networking business, is the joy of the wonderful relationships you build up with your teammates.

In my opinion using an auto-responder system would be like going out on a Valentine's date with a robot - cold and impersonal. You won't even get the thrill of knowing you meant something to someone.

A Machine can’t function for a long period without manpower. To operate a machine there needs some manpower. What type of data you feed in a machine the machine will run on that basis. Systems will not work properly if you are not maintain it properly.

As per my opinion it is better to organize your team or downline from your Genealogy manually to use PSA, CSA, Group Mailer to reach them absolutely right support in right time which is not possible for a auto responder to some extent.

Answering machine is very good. It should be used to the full. There are many people who have little time to work in the business. Therefore the use of autoresponders is always justified. Use it to benefit your business. I'm trying to use this tool to the fullest. You should use it carefully. I think that such a tool is presented here is not accidental. We should all be grateful. Use this tool and save your valuable time.

The auto responder is a great tool especialy for new member to respond or answer a question. It is make us easier and more efficient on make a respond. Sometime our knowledge is too deep, because we can not learn all about this business in just a short time, a month or a year i think not enough to grab all aspect, maybe the basic thing only, and the auto responder could be more effective and to avoid misunderstanding. Sometime if we try to inform something to other people then they could be accept

In my opinion the auto-responder is useful for those who do not have a lot of time and also it is useful for someone who has a lot of members in his genealogy. It would fastudieux describe many people, I will say it. But in my heart I feel that this tool has limitations. Regarding the new members, they did not need to use this automated tool. I have not used this tool because I find it somewhat distorts human relationships. I prefer the traditional method because it makes communication between the

Auto-responder can become too automated. That personal touch may not be there. It may be good in the beginning when an new affiliate signs up, but later messages need to be modified or changed depending on the work of the different affiliates. Then the auto-responder may not work as different emails has to be send at different time and different situations.

I am great that SFI system includes auto-responder in SFI and it is free. You do not need to spend addition cost to get another auto-responder. I encourage you should use the SFI auto-responder. Let me tell you why we should use the auto-responder.

1. You may not know when you have an opt-in new sponsor member. Auto-responder will help you to send in the first welcome message in time when they receive a new opt-in member.

2. Auto-responder are an incredible way to keep in touch
