How much information do you send your CSA's, or do you let their sponsor take care of them so they are not overwhelmed?

As for me, I treat my CSAs the same way I treat my PSAs when it comes to sending messages. For instance, at the beginning of each week, I send them group messages so as to give them new hints, understanding and encouragement for the new week.

The reason for treating them this way is because, I don't know if their Sponsor is always giving them the same encourage like I do.

However, I don't burden my CSAs with individual e-mails like I do to my PSAs! I personally pick on my PSAs

For the most part, I treat my CSA's as if they are my own PSA's. I assume that they might not be looked after by their sponsor, and may need a lot of help and guidance.

However, I don't feel as 'obligated' to them, so it makes it easier in many ways. I feel that I can help them out with their questions, without having to live up to some promise that I made to them.

Thank you for this question!

It's my belief that when all members of a team works together, everyone succeeds!
I, personally, treat all of my PSAs and CSAs equally. We are one team.

Group messaging is extremely effective communication tool. I want my entire team to be aware of, and have access to all my contests, incentives, advice, tips and hints. I also want to share some of the pitfalls I've experienced along the way!

Starting as new members of SFI can be

My CSAS' are not become overwhelmed because I treat my CSA's as if they are my own PSA's. I send Welcome Letter to PSAS’ as well as CSAS’ first. I think there is no difference between PSA and CSA. I always search for Affiliates who they are give efforts to earn money in a long term basis may be he/she a PSA or CSA. I always take care my CSAS’ like PSAS.The information I send is the same for everyone.I send Group Mail to all my PSA and CSA weekly. If necessary I contact with them

Delete the letter C and read as Sponsored AFFILIATE or delete the letters CS and read as AFFILIATE; either way you will have Affiliate at the end. Similarly you have AFFILIATE in PSA; and both CSAs and PSAs are important and integral part of our business as they contribute towards our financial freedom. Then why discrimination? Why should we differ in sending mails, sharing information to our CSAs and PSAs?

I never try to look at who is my CSA’s sponsor rather always try to encourage

Great question about how to sponsor down-line CSA's without having them feel overwhelmed.

I have found that no matter who is in your down line - it is best to communicate with everyone with the same message. I have not found double communication between leaders to be a negative experience as no two people think the same nor do two people manage their affairs the same. The more hints, tips and communication that everyone, including CSA's receive, in my opinion is better. The more tools

In my book, there is absolutely no differentiation between PSAs and CSAs.They are Affiliates entrusted to my care and guidance. In many cases, I have noticed, Affiliates do not get adequate attention /guidance from their own sponsors, may be for various reasons. No matter, that does not concern me ; the CSAs are my "children" too and there is no way I am going to treat them as "adopted children".

Having made that clear, as an Affiliate, whenever I need guidance/information/information,I

I treat my CSA's the same as my PSA's.
I like to encourage everyone in my downline and we all need help and support sometimes.
Some CSA's may not be supported by their sponsor and it's nice to have someone there if you need some extra help. If my CSA's already have a supportive sponsor, that's great, but I'm here for extra support.
Some affiliates need much more help than others. Affiliates that are experienced in marketing know what to do and how to promote, but there are many newbies

The amount of information you send to your CSA's is up to you really.
By leaving it up to your sponsors, is something called Laziness, and from that you do not truly earn anything thinking it's going to be given to you on a silver platter.

As i said before, the amount of information you send is something up to you, it doesn't matter what you send them, wheter it be a "hello" or a "congratulation" to a huge letter telling them step by step on how to become successful,

CSAs and PSAs are often different and needed to be treated differently.

Ninety nine times out of a hundred a PSA will be new to SFI. So they need hand-holding and guidance from the basics.

CSAs come in three groups.

1) Some CSAs will be new and get very little guidance from their sponsor. They should be treated just like your PSAs because they only have you to help them.

2) Some CSAs will be new but getting good guidance from their sponsor. You should offer
