How to Confirm that Your Team Members are Receiving Your Messages

 

The level of responses you get from your downline is an indication that your mails are reaching them. You may be aware that the most reliable message source in SFI is Team Mail. If you use that source more than any other, it is fairly certain that your mails are reaching your affiliates.

For more confirmation, you can send mails which request specific information from your affiliates. If you receive no responses at all, it is a confirmation that your mails are not reaching them. To ascertain that your mails are delivered, you may choose to use all sources including “live chat” online for confirmation. I must caution though that many affiliates as a matter of choice never want to be bothered with mails. Factor this fact in too when you are communicating with them.

SFI also provides “opt out” option for mails. It also has a tool to detect the number and rate of opt outs in your downline. You can use the tool to detect how many of your affiliates have opted out and the reason(s) why. That is one other sure way to confirm who is receiving your mails.

 

How to Support and Motivate Your Team Members

The best way to do that is to recognize your team members as independent and separate business persons who happen to be your business partners. Show them that you are all in the business for the fun and to make money. Invite them to come along with you for a joyous and profitable ride. To buttress and reaffirm these ideals, I recommend you do the following: 

 
1. Show decent respect for your team members as your partners and let that reflect in all your dealings with them.
2. Limit your interactions with them to purely advisory roles.
3. Be warm and courteous in all your communications with them.
4. Give them ample and un-crowded space to run their businesses.
5. Lead by example and encourage them to emulate at will if ok with them.
6. Welcome all your new PSAs with warmth and palpable expectations.
7. Direct them to new expectations and discoveries in the business.
8. Regularly send down the line great motivating tips.
9. Give them great business tips as you come across them.
10. Find regular and credible ways to appreciate the efforts of your team members.
11. Put in place a credible reward system to motivate your team members.
12. Find ways always to work with your team members and not on them.
13. Emphasize to them the benefits of continuous and sustained training in SFI business.
14. Encourage honesty and due diligence in working the business.

I believe that if you do the above honestly and consistently, you can support and motivate your team members without demanding too much from them or turning them off.

Good luck!!!
