Since this is your business, I will advise you to do all it takes and all you can to make it successful. You do not have to wait on your Sponsor before you do something about it. SFI has lots of training materials that is easy to read and understand.

Keep reading and also set to work. Do not wait on anyone. You have the forum, the Ask_Sc Community, the A2A friends and your Upline team leaders. Feel free to contact them for assistance anytime you face some certain challenges.

This can be very frustrating and almost the opposite of "what do you do when your PSA's and CSA's are non-responsive".... It is sad but do not let this influence you in a negative way. You have other support:

1. Your Co-Sponsor. (I personally have a GREAT Co-Sponsor)
2. A2A Friends: Invite friends who is serious about SFI. You can check their badges and ranks. It is also helpful to be A2A friends with the top affiliates in your country. You will be surprised of

In SFI business there are a lot of affiliates asking for help because their own sponsors abandoned them. Never expect for your sponsor to hold your hand through everything. You need to put in your own work because this is your business, a sponsor will only put you on the right foot and guide you whenever you're lost but he will not make the money for you, you have to work and earn it yourself.

SFI admin realize this factor very well that is why they put all the information and tools on

I kind of compare a sponsor to training wheels on a bicycle. They help you get started and give you support until you are able to move on your own.

A good sponsor is nice to have and maybe will help get your business going in the right direction. That being said, you can move ahead on your own without a sponsor. My sponsor dropped out after I was in SFI for a month. I learned to ride a bicycle without depending on training wheels. Maybe it took a little longer to be successful at riding

What should one do if their sponsor is non-responsive? The truth is that it can be a little frightening and can lead a newcomer to questioning how genuine SFI can be. Based on my own experience I would recommend that they approach their co-sponsors. I have a wonderful co-sponsor who has guided me through at all times. I also found it useful from time to time to contact other members of my upline - it is amazing how welcoming they were.

At the centre of it all every affiliate, ought to

Hello Michael,

I shall start my answer with three very important SFI rules:

1.)
"Both, Sponsors and Co-Sponsors, have a responsibility to support their affiliates. If you are willing to earn income on the actions of your affiliates, you must of course be willing to also help them with questions they might have, share tips, etc. This is an integral part of our type of business. It's all about working together for mutual gain."

2.)

Having a non-responsive sponsor can be very frustrating and discouraging if you chose to rely solely on him or her for all supports. On the other hand, it can prove to be a blessing in disguise if you chose to reach out and explore other forms of supports that abound in the SFI community.

Some of us that are fortunate to have responsive and supportive sponsors to guide us and smooth our ways through only tend to relax and take a lot for granted and become very lazy. Your responsive/non-responsive

Great Question Dear...
Actually, Sponsors are allotted to guide their Downline, and put them on the track to success.
Sponsors have the edge on the newcomers by virtue of their long affiliation with SFI.
They are more experience comparatively, and knows the pros and cons of the different features / plans or streams of this online Business.
Unfortunately, it happens that at times one feels that his sponsor is completely ignoring his presence, and non-responsive whatsoever the case

The fact that you have asked this question shows that you are all geared up and motivated to learn and all you need to know and all you need now is directions or pointers or guidelines!

With your attitude, YOU DON'T NEED YOUR SPONSOR.

As many have already answered here, everything you need is available to you, whether or not your sponsor is active. There are far more qualified leaders that are active with SFI. If it's guidelines you want, what better way to learn than from
