Dear Mary!
It is an interesting question faced by every Sponsor when a new Affiliate becomes his down line.:

In the first instance, we will send an interesting, enthusiastic yet simple welcome letter using SFI Tools (Welcome Card). In the card itself, I request my Affiliate to acknowledge the receipt of my Welcome Letter. In my welcome letter (which I slightly modify), I will say a few realistic words about SFI which is my Organization and tell him, I am highly pleased that the Affiliate has chosen SFI to join especially when it is on the Expanding and exploding mode. In case he gives a reply, I further continue the dialogue by shifting the venue to EMail. Where the Affiliate doesnot respond, yet I continue sending him/her the weekly routine mails (Group), Stream messages, Tips etc., and I will not write off them, for we do not know, when and how an Affiliate realizes his respons.ibility

In the welcome letter, I ask the affiliate to go to the Affiliate Center, start studying SFI Basics and Launchpad Lessons, simultaneously requesting him/her to commence the work of To-Do items. This part is not originally in the Welcome Letter that is being sent now.

I will be sending the useful tips for completing the to-do items. In this letter, I will draw his attention to the first 5 items having the green-ascending planes, asking why we should attend to that in the first instance..& explain why....

Usually trend of the current generation youngsters is to expect instantaneous results for their work and results off-the-cuff. I will explain them that SFI is not get-rich-overnight sort of Organization. But it requires slow and steady work consistently; but not working in fits and starts
by them.

2. As and when they accustom themselves with the work culture, I gradually introduce them to the areas of Training(for learning things), S.C.Answers (they need not for major or minor clarifications touch up on the sponsor, but can knock the doors of SC Answers. Thus they will be introduced to the concept of working and work-culture of SFI. As a part of this, I will direct them to FORUM, in case of any controversial points/actions/decisions etc on different contemporary topics. They will hone themselves and get trained to face the world of SFI, so that they will be able to apply themselves to the problems after facing them and finding a solution. Not to say that I abrogate my responsibility as the Sponsor....No.But only to place them in the real world of business with typical problems and have practical solutions. But we will be guiding them from behind when they have a tough problem, taking care to stay behind when they succeed to celebrate the success.

3.The next and tough part is to explain them subtly that their progress in SFI depends on their decision to invest or not to invest. In case they want expeditious progress and quick results, they have to spend a minimum of $50 p.m. Where there is no capacity, they will be guided how to collect the qualifying points for few months. They will also be made to understand explicitly in clear terms that they have to invest a lot of energy and time where they can not invest money.

4. As a part of this strategy, if need be I will be sending them a few TCs now and then , and Gift Certificates in really worthy cases to give them a helping hand & to boost their morale. At this stage they will be asked to slowly expand their team by selecting 3 to 5 Affiliates who can just imitate them to grow up in business. They will be exposed to the concept of ECAs, selecting them and getting them registered, the GAMES which are inalianable part of the SFI/Tripleclicks and tricks of playing different games carefully for earning different items like, MRPs, TCs, cash etc.,In all the above matters, I will narrate my experiences, as also tell them how I succeeded where I did.

5. I have to be clear here that we can not adopt the same technique to coach, guide or help the Affiliates and that varies very much from case to case.

6.When once they become Executive Affiliate, I will tell them to rely on a Standing order for worry-less EA2 continuation and how they will be able to concentrate on real business expansion like, subscribing or obtaining S-build Coop, Custom Prestige Domain etc, for business, Placing of Ads etc.,

7. I will admonish them not to worry to be a Team leader at least without having 3 to 5 affiliates, by informing that SFI involves essentially team effort but not individual work. The individual can only go some distance (the stage of EA2). But beyond that it is only the team effort that makes the magic.

Hope, this is comprehensive and helps you.

To be brief--the answer is yes..Let me explain:
For the new Affiliate every thing is new, strange and creates a sense of insecurity very quickly, in case he/she is taken in to confidence and reassured that I (am your sponsor) is here to take care of you. Well! How do we create that high sense of security or I may call belongingness in the mind of Affiliate who has just joined? The safest, best and to put it emphatically, this is the only way! In view of this immediately after joining of the affiliate, it is highly desirable that the sponsor, co-sponsor or whosoever is in that position write a warm welcome letter giving a personal greeting, a few affectionate words. This especially holds good for such of the affiliates who have come with a determination to do something significant, that will have a magical effect on the psyche of the new affiliate. They are also sensitive to such seemingly such inconsequential and insignificant acts. But then "The first impression is the best impression". If we have succeeded in that attempt to take him in to our fold, well 50% of the story is over and he is with us (SFI). O.K.!

Then how to identify such a sensitive guy among several hundreds of such new affiliates?
Well nigh, it is impossible. That is the reason why to such of the new affiliates and all of them, there is every need to shoot out the welcome letters. I do not minding taking trouble of sending a hundred such letters. If at least 2 to 5% of them have reacted to such warm welcome letters, my purpose is subserved. The SFI has introduced such of the sensitive measures not just for the sake of introducing, but with a lot of foresightedness and farsightedness. Let us respect such conventions. If you go a bit far it gives the impression to the new entrant that he/she has come to a right Business and they will not like to part with such an Organization with such significant traditions. I mean in other words, it reflects on your Institution.
'
Next part of your question:With information from the Affiliates'Profile. Is it needed? Not at all. After all. It is an introductory warm welcome. We need not have to worry about that. If we are attending to the welcome letter part, gradually we can make improvements or improvisations, of which this can be a part,i.e.,quoting information from profile.

It would be desirable to keep your house in order in the first instance. Even a thousand miles journey starts with single step. In businesses such as these we always start in trickle. I mean we will be adding PSAs SLOWLY. Therefore to start with you first train the few affiliates with you in correct way. The advantage with this method is
a) 1. Only in early stages of business where we have ample time, we choose the affiliates and train them up well, so that when slowly the group is growing, you can put a few of these well-trained and dedicated people TO DEVELOP THE TEAM.
2 They will be your second line-leaders and they help you in laying solid foundation to the business (of you and theirs) AS ALSO ASSISTING YOU IN DEVELOPING THE BUSINESS ON RIGHT LINES.
3 Here you can ensure quality and as the time advances, with the quantity growing you can ensure meaningfully quality also. You are not leaving things to chance and the team will be to your desired look of your 'mark' on the team.

b) Coming to the second alternative: You will be concentrating on PSAs for increasing your performance and improving the income. Your entire attention is towards numbers. Though you want, you will not be able to train up your affiliates. As a result group increases, but here performance and quality is the casuality. We cannot expect all the people joining us have the same attitude towards quality. Where there are people doing thing meticulously. They do,, others will not be able to do that better. Given the circumstances, these type of people are more. This has long term negative consequences on you and your groups performance. By the time we look back and try to correct things, the damage will have already taken place.

It is natural that most people look to the second alternative, which is a bad temptation, and that needs to be resisted.

As a matter of fact among the two categories, both of them are actually same.
There is a small difference. The CSAs are already entrusted to a Team Leader and for certain reasons they are re-entrusted to another Leader. In the discrepancy of changing guards, there may emanate slight confusion as a result of which there is scope for CSAs to slightly become tardy in their work. At times, the CSAs allotted are the ones who might have joined long time back, but for their own reasons have become inactive.
But the PSAs are the ones who have joined anew and therefor they are likely to be more vibrant, enthusiastic and work faster..
I may hasten to add that even though the CSAs are entrusted after a gap of inactivity have proved to be challenging in their performance. That has happened in my case itself. After gap of few months the CSA having been entrusted to me shot back to her deserved postion of EA2.
This makes it clear that basically it is the attitude of the affiliate that determines his/ her position but not the category to which they belong (PSA or CSA).

It is obviously Pricebenders. Beware!when you are participating, please go through the rules and restrictions of Pricebenders as also tips given by SFI. This helps and steers you through the process of Pricebenders auctions. I thereby never mean to demean the Eager Zebra Games. It has got its own plus points. But it is decisively Pricebenders
that helps your business most..
