I am an SFI affiliate since jul/2013 and have maintained an 20 month EA streak.
My sponsor and co-sponsor have always lend a helping hand as and when i needed advice to solve
my problems in day to day work at SFI.
In order to be noticed by sponsor and seek guidance an affiliate should show committment by visiting his/her home page everyday.
2) maintain an EA status and form time to time use his Genealogy and members of team to contact upline

Thanks for this question.

In any endeavor, unless one asks nothing will come from the other side.

Examples are:

1. Unless you knock, you can not expect the door to be opened;
2. Unless you make a small step, you can not make a long journey;
3. Unless you inquire no one will give you the answer;

This is applicable to SFI Business. Unless you contact you will get nothing in most of the cases.

You can attract the attention of your

The very first thing you should do, whether your sponsor writes to you or not, is to write to him. Use both your own email and the eCards. That way if his mail is not accepting mail from SFI, then he will get your letter. Tell him that you are very interested in succeeding in SFI and you desire his input.

At the same time, make sure that you are working steadily on your To Do List. After he reads your letter, he will check his Movers List and then your profile and his Genealogy. The more

The best ways I can suggest are the following; this is what I did, and fortunately I have a very active sponsor:

1. Reply to all of the emails they send
2. Ask questions
3. Make suggestions
4. Copy your sponsor on team mails so they know you're being active
5. Reply to their Stream posts
6. Be sure to log in every day and you'll always show up on their mover's list
7. If they have an ECA store, be sure to connect with them
8. Invite them to subscribe

Hello Paul,

The best way to get your Sponsor to notice you and provide guidance is to contact them directly either by e-mail, team mail or SFI Chat and ASK for help.

Speaking from a Sponsor's point of view, I don't necessarily know that you want help if you don't ask me. If you're logging in every day, collecting your daily VP and in general doing what you should be doing I may send you an e-card congratulating you for your successes, or if I see that you've suddenly stopped

Hi Paul
For your sponsor to notice you and offer you guidance is to first think like your sponsor and know what sponsors wants from their team to be noticed. And what are they?
1. Activeness. To be noticed by your sponsor is to be active by logging in everyday and advancing in your rank plus the business. When you become an EA, you start getting noticed, then EA2, then BTL or GTL etc. Definitely you attract your sponsor's attention by this by being a successful affiliate. This is what attracts

Here is how to get your sponsor to notice you right away and to provide guidance...

1) Fill out your SFI profile completely
2) Send your SFI "commitment message" to your sponsor
3) Check your sponsor’s Leadership Page for support options
4) Contact your sponsor using the contact methods posted on his or her Leadership Page
5) Earn your daily, weekly, and monthly VersaPoints so that you will appear in your sponsor and co-sponsor's "Movers" list

Oh how I wish I have you in my downline. Most of the posts I see in the Forum is about how to get the inactive to become active. If only one of the inactives suddenly decide to become active and write an email (either through TeamMail or personal mail) I'm sure I would take notice.

But I assume this question would come up if your sponsor has a team of very active downlines and you get drowned in the see of active affiliates in his/her team. Therefore, why not try sending an email with

This is pretty easy to answer, send them a mail. Let them know that you are serious about your business, but that you need guidance.

Let your Sponsor know you a little bit by providing info as to where you have experience (if any) and what your goals are.

Let your Sponsor know what kind of budget you have, and how much time you are willing to spend. I know this info is in your profile, but putting this in an email to your Sponsor will reinforce just how serious that you really

You must advance yourselves to be recognized by your sponsor!
meaning:

1. You must log in everyday and earn action VPs;
2. Communicate actively with your Sponsor by asking question, thanking for his response
and register your comments/likes on his opinions, suggestions and/or advices posted in the
Forum and Stream post;
3. Accumulate badges as a proof of your being active with the program;
4. Develop a strong active team of PSAs and CSAs;
5.
