"What should an affiliate do if their sponsor is non-responsive?"

I don't know why a sponsor would not respond to their affiliate, but if that is the case, I would say that SFI has all the tools needed to be successful in this business.

It is not the sponsor or SFI that makes the affiliate successful. These two are just aids in the process.

If a sponsor is not responding, I say to the affiliate: "do what you can to succeed just the same. You will feel

This is an easy answer! Here Goes

Though I have only been here for 8 weeks I can tell you, If your Sponsor really cared about his/ her own income in working their business, they would be there for you. Really do you want someone who does not communicate teaching you how to work your Business the way they do? NO!
You don't need them, Your SFI Basics, Launch Pads, The Forum, FAQ, and your Co-Sponsor, even your Upline and Lets not forget The Support Desk or your A2A Friends, That is

It is interesting to learn through this question that the affiliates do approach the sponsors at times! Well in my experience, so may be with many other sponsors, the reality is other way round. We have been all along grappling with the problem of non-responsive downline affiliates.

Getting back to the question, yes it could be true because of the 'Fast Track' benefits, many affiliates become BTLs in the first month itself with a distinct disadvantage. Neither they had time to learn in

This question is just in time because many affiliates are suffering this challenge.

Obviously, SFI provides each and every one of us great platform to succeed irrespective of our sponsors attitude towards our growth.

In my opinion, the forum within the SFI community is a wonderful tool that we can all utilize to get the needed help to advance our business. Another tool that can be of help is the support desk which provides us answers to our tickets in less than 24 hours or

The first thing an affiliate needs to recognize is that their success with their business is up to them, and one needs to take ownership of it. Never count on someone else or blame someone else for your success or failure.

Having said that, there are things an affiliate can do to get help with their business.

They should first go through all the training here in SFI. There is a wealth of information right here in the SFI site to help one succeed with their business.

My sponsor has never contacted me directly. In fact he lives in a different country and likely speaks a different language that I could not understand. So I have not received any help from him. This is not a complaint, but I present this because SFI is different from other Network Marketing (MLM) etc. SFI is your business. You must view this business from the owners point of view, because no matter whether your sponsor is available or not, it's your own activities that will build your business. Your

Great question!
In my own opinion, I don’t think it is quite necessary to be waiting for somebody to come and develop your business for you. SFI is our business, my business and your business. If one is really serious one will face what he/she is doing and focus on how to succeed.
There are a lot of tools to use at the SFI website – The Launch Pad, SFI Basics and Getting Started pages as well as the Forum.
One will even get various solutions to the challenges one may encounter

When I signed up I imediately went through START, SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD buttons. Everything is more or less there. So I did not ask sponsor so much about everything. Now, sponsor might assist if an affiliate did not undersand something from there.

If a sponsor does not respond to an affiliate's questions then there is a co-sponsor, a2a friends, forum, ASK SC, and I truly believe that at least one of these resources will provide sufficient assistance to keep your business working.

What an affiliate should do??? Well, to me I feel that an affiliate
should just focus on his/her business. In the first place, you didn't
join SFI because of your Sponsor, or is that your reason for joining?

I don't even know why SFI was setup this way, that one should be under
a Sponsor. To me, I don't even bother whether there is a Sponsor or not.
I just focus on doing my business.
Thanks to SFI for creating a2a friendship opportunity. One can always ask
