Why Send Supportive Emails to Inactive Affiliates

Let me say straight away that PSAs and CSAs even if inactive at the moment are very valuable assets in SFI business. Even if some have 0 VP and have been inactive for some time, that does not make them less valuable. When you factor in that very many legitimate reasons could be responsible for their inactivity, you will get to appreciate my reasoning the more. 


 
Having said that, be informed that it is good business to treat all your PSAs and CSAs equally as valuable assets to your business whether they are active or inactive. Reason is because those active today may be inactive tomorrow and vice versa for various reasons. My advice therefore, in direct answer to your question is that it is very worth it to keep sending supportive emails to your PSAs and CSAs who have 0 VP and have been inactive for weeks or months.

Here are some more business reasons why it is worth it sending supporting messages to ALL your PSAs and CSAs whether active or not.

1. An affiliate not active today may be active tomorrow.
2. An affiliate active today may be inactive tomorrow.
3. Inactive affiliates may have active affiliates under them which are very valuable in your own downline.
4. A seemingly inactive affiliate may actually treasure and is appreciative of your support messages.
5. Your continued support messages could make an inactive affiliate to be active.
6. Continued support messages are a direct proof of concern for the welfare of ALL your affiliates.
7. All affiliates in your downline are very valuable even if with inactive affiliates that value is POTENTIAL in nature.
8. The biggest craving of any human being is recognition and that is exactly what your continued support messages do to inactive affiliates. 


 
Finally, let me remind you once more that ALL your affiliates are important and VALUABLE whether they are active or inactive. That is exactly what should inform and shape your dealings with them, continued support messages inclusive.

Why it is Better to Pursue PSAs Instead of CSAs

Anytime, any day in SFI business, I believe it is better to pursue PSAs instead of CSAs for the following reasons:

1. As a sponsor, you get higher commissions value (CV) percentage of 45% compared to only 15% from CSAs.
2. That translates to 3 times more residual incomes from PSAs than CSAs.
3. PSAs help to deepen your downline with which you can earn matching VP on 12 levels deep depending on the rank you get to monthly.
4. Every affiliate gets PSAs by conscious and deliberate marketing efforts whereas CSAs are allocated to you by SFI or purchased at auctions.
5. For that reason, any time you do not make EA per month, you lose all your CSAs whereas your PSAs are life-time assets as business partners even if you perpetually remain simply as an affiliate.
6. What matters in a final analysis is “activity.” Active CSAs are better than inactive PSAs for reasons of SFI peculiarities as a business. The bottom line is to earn commissions from both your PSAs and CSAs. Any of them which brings in more commissions should be preferred by any serious business person. On balance however, PSAs are capable of giving you more commissions ontransactions but they must be sufficiently active to do so. That makes PSAs better to pursue than CSAs.

How to Gain the Attention of Second Home CSAs

I believe that the best way to gain the attention of second home CSAs is through EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. You must be ready to be an awesome sponsor using all the tools provided by SFI if you want to succeed with second home CSAs. You as a sponsor must do all things feasible to reach out to them as soon as they are assigned to you. It may take quite a while but you may just need to persist before you can get any form of response from second home CSAs. When you do get a response, no matter how vague, that becomes a very encouraging sign for you to sharpen your communications with them. You will succeed further with your CSAs if you are able to do the following: 


 
1. Welcome them to your team as soon as they are assigned to you.
2. Offer them a place in your cooperative if you have one.
3. Encourage them to visit your Leadership Page for tips, your blog and recommended products.
4. Encourage them to confide in you for help if they have any issues with SFI or TripleClicks.
5. Get a contest under way for your team and invite them to participate.
6. Give out gifts of TCredits occasionally to them if you can afford to.
7. Send to them without fail any useful tips you come across occasionally in SFI.
8. Direct them to the links they can get useful information and how to sponsor new affiliates.
9. Let them know that SFI business is theirs to run and that they can only get out of it in direct proportion to what they put into it.
10. Let them know that the business is not a get-rich-quick business but a sure-bet business on the long run.
11. Reveal to them that the only way can ever FAIL in SFI business is to QUIT.

I sincerely believe that if you are able to do all these things diligently, it is possible for you to gain the attention of your second home CSAs and possibly get them to be active again.

 

Can Your New PSAs Become Team Leaders Too Quickly?

This is a very dicey question. It is dicey in the sense that we all have our individual differences as business persons. It could be very tricky to take a firm position simply because it worked for you. What worked for you may not necessarily work for another person. However, it is good to point out the advantages available to affiliates when they become Team Leaders and let them take their own decisions and or precautionary measures.

When you are a Team Leader, you earn Second Home CSAs, T-Credits and VP Matching benefits. As a new PSA, if your downline is not deep enough or you do not yet have a downline, rushing to become a Team Leader may not really benefit you much. In such circumstance, it is advisable to slow down to build your downline deep enough first before you aim to become a Team Leader. If however you are contented with simply earning T-Credits and Second Home CSAs, you can go ahead to become a Team Leader as fast as you can. That is the reason I stated earlier that the question is dicey. An individual choice is all that is required here. After all, we are all individual business persons in SFI even with our close affiliate relationships.
