How Far Sponsors Can Go to Help Their Affiliates

 No sponsor should ever lose sight of the fact that the affiliates they sponsor are simply their business partners and not their employees or subjects. With this fact in mind, dealing with affiliates at all times becomes a very simple matter because once that relationship is well understood; helping affiliates presents very few well-defined challenges henceforth.

It must be well-stated and understood that affiliates are all individual business persons with their own unique and peculiar characteristics. That is what defines how they do business and relate with other affiliates as well as their sponsors. To take on this matter directly therefore, YES there are certainly limits sponsors should not go beyond in their dealings with affiliates in this business relationship.

SFI clearly defines what sponsors should do and should not do in their “awesome sponsor” page found on this link: https://www.sfimg.com/Training/AwesomeSponsor. That clearly sets the limits for all affiliates and sponsors. Once you keep to the rules, sponsoring affiliates presents no special challenges thereafter.
