Anytime, any day in SFI, 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 on transactions but they must be sufficiently active to do so. That makes PSAs better to pursue than CSAs.

I hope this answers your question? Best wishes!!!

PSA's are always better to pursue without actively refusing CSA's. Here are the reasons.

1. It gives you higher commission value (CV) percentage of 45% compare to only 15% from CSAs.

2. It helps you build your downlines which will be our source of matching VPs later. PSA's are the foundation of our 12 level organization that will give us massive income.

3. Most of the time we are in control in Finding PSAs. We can look for them from free ads sites and from paid ads site. We can also buy them from TripleClicks and win them from Pricebenders Auction. While most of our PSA's are award to us every month according to our ranks. We can also win them from Pricebenders auction but we don't have full control on having them. We can not sign up somebody as our CSA.

Nevertheless we do not actively refuse CSA's in fact we should treat them the same as our PSA's once they are already in our organization. We help and assist them same as our PSA's. We send them same information as our PSA's and we befriend them same as our PSA's. Remember that even if they give us less benefits but active CSA's are much much better than inactive PSA's.

Thanks for asking the wonderful question

Since SFI is all about Team building and Team playing acquiring both PSAs and CSAs is very happy on important thought your returns on sponsoring or acquiring both is different.

The good thing is that both can be acquired in the following ways
1. PSA through advertising and marketing
2. PSA through gift and auction
3. PSA through S builder
4. PSA through purchase
also
5. CSA through purchase, auction, becoming at least EA etc

For any successful SFI business both must be involve and treated as same in order to acquire the best from them.

Benefits on PSAs includes
As their personal sponsor, each time they place an order at TripleClicks.com, you'll earn 45% of the CV (Commission Volume). And that's just the beginning. Teach your new PSAs how to sponsor and duplicate, and your PSAs can eventually become a group of thousands of affiliates in your downline.
For each that becomes an EA2, you can earn lucrative Matching VersaPoints--down a full 12 generations and many more

Benefit of CSAs includes
As their co-sponsor, you'll be eligible to earn 15% commissions on ALL their purchases (PLUS, if you are a Team Leader, matching VP on all of their actions each month!

Note you need to become at least an EA to retain your CSA but is not same with PSA.

Therefore since both are require and PSA has more benefit, then PSA is better but remember to treat them as same.

Thanks once more and cheers

PSAs are more important as they are your lifeline in progressing with your business. Your ‘life’ in SFI depends so much on them. But, SFI has given us tools and ways on how to get these PSAs.

• S-Builder Co-op – for inexperience newbies in internet marketing or with limited time to spend in their marketing efforts. No guarantee of active PSA, about 4 month to complete delivery and no specific numbers of PSA you will receive. Purchasing this co-op will enable you to share a smaller advertising cost via S-Builder Co-op.
• TripleClicks is PSA-To-Go – delivered the exact number as per your order but still no guarantee of active PSAs.
• Other ECAs – exact number delivered as per your order with no guarantee of active PSAs too.

Looking at the above, you will see the difficulty in getting active PSAs. You have no other choice but to advertise in many ways. Blogs, website, traffic exchange, safelist, free ad, e-mailing etc, will help you to be more robust in your marketing efforts, in order to get quality and active PSAs. Per Ultra Simple Plan, you only need 5 active PSAs in your team to see the big difference in your commission payment. If you take time to look at profile of our current top Team Leaders, let say if they have 40 active PSAs at 1st level, imagine how much they will earn if they qualified up to 12 levels deep within their team! They’d gone through their hard work to receive all these benefits!

As for the CSA, your income is from the Commission Volume (CV). Each time your CSAs place an order at TripleClicks.com, you earn 15% of the CV. Ways to acquire your CSAs;

- 2 CSAs are allotted to you each month you attain the rank of EA (minimum 1500 VP)
- You can win CSAs in the Daily Grand contest and Pricebenders Auctions
- CSAs can also be won each day in the Entrepreneur365 Finalist drawing.
- Every month, thousands of Co-Sponsored Affiliates are forfeited and need a new co-sponsor. Once you become a Team Leader, you will share of all of these forfeited Co-Sponsored Affiliates which is automatically added to your team, with YOU as their new co-sponsor!

• Receive 1 share if you're a Bronze Team Leader
• Receive 2 shares if you're a Silver Team Leader
• Receive 3 shares if you're a Gold Team Leader
• Receive 4 shares if you're Platinum Team Leader

Communication is the key. Reach out to both, PSAs and CSAs as you wouldn’t know who and when they will become active. Combination of both will give you the ‘extra’, so please do not ignore your CSAs.

You need to take a careful look at the compensation pay plan located here: https://www.sfimg.com/Reference/CompPlan

What you will find is that when someone you sponsored purchases product you will receive a commission of 45% of that purchase. As long as this affiliate stays in your group and you meet your personal qualifications you will receive those commissions for life!

When you receive CSAs (Co-Sponsored Affiliates) and they purchase products you will earn commissions of 15% of their purchases. Again these commissions are paid for life as long as personal qualifications are kept up.

Simple math will tell you that it is better to pursue PSAs (Personally Sponsored Affiliates) because of the higher commissions.

But keep in mind that as your team grows and you acquire more CSAs that 15% commissions can grow to a sizable financial jackpot. As things sit at this moment I am receiving more commissions from the CSAs that I have acquired then the commissions I am receiving from my small group of PSAs.

Also keep in mind that your CSAs are all sponsored by someone else therefor you cannot reassign them and you cannot give them re-assignments.

One other small note and that is if anything happens and you cannot meet the required EA status by the end of the month you will lose all of the CSAs that you have. But the PSAs that you have will always be yours no matter what happens.

Dear friend,

Both concepts have different perceptions so we should evaluate the importance of each thing differently.

In terms of CSAs, you are just a co-sponsor of the concerned and the benefits out of the lot are limited in terms of commission. But in the case of PSAs, it is completely a different scenario where you are going to be the maximum beneficiary out of their successes. For example, you can earn a direct commission of 45% out of the commission volume of your PSAs purchases but you can earn only 15 % in case of CSAs.

If you ask me about my personal perception about it, I will certainly prefer having successful PSAs than CSAs. After all, I do believe, if we put more effort and hard work, we will be more benefited if we pursue both PSAs and CSAs in a systematic and successful manner.

Wish you more and more success my friend.

There is no doubt in my mind that you are far better pursuing PSA's than CSA's.

From PSA's you get 45% commissions up to 12 levels deep and with CSA's it is only 15% commissions 1 level deep.

However you can occasionally strike a re-assigned CSA who is so grateful that you are now their co-sponsor, because their sponsor and previous co-sponsor have not done what sponsors and co-sponsors are supposed to do, that they will actually work with you and are keen to do so. They have just been looking for some guidance. And 15% from a CSA is a lot better than zero from a PSA.

As a BTL, I was fortunate on one occasion to pick up a re-assigned CSA, at a period of the month when that CSA had already, before the re-assignment, re-qualified as an EA2 and has managed to re-qualify ever since, so Active CSA's are good for business too.

Which is better to pursue...CSAs or PSAs?

You will benefit more from your PSAs in the long-run. You earn 45% CV on your PSAs, and only 15% CV on your CSAs.

However, this is not the biggest reason it is better to spend most of your energy finding PSAs. As a team leader, you can earn matching VP on all members of your team.

If you have a Platinum Team Leader as a CSA, you will only earn matching VP on him, not on his entire team.

However, if you have a Platinum Team Leader as a PSA, you earn matching VP on his/her entire active (EA+) team. This could add up to hundreds (or thousands) of dollars every month. The key to successful passive & residual income with SFI is in building a team of strong Team Leader PSAs who teach their team to duplicate what they are doing.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with adding CSAs to your team as well!

To measure your success must build a good team by setting some short term and long term goals.

Like in most of the cases - BOTH!


PSAs (Personal Referred Affiliates) are those who you personally introduced to SFI,and they registered using your getaway link.They are your PSA and you're their Sponsor.CSAs (Co-Sponsored Affiliates) are not the ones who you personally introduced to this company,but you're still connected with them and get a share of profit they make.


From both of the groups (PSAs and CSAs) you'll have benefits.Little bit more from your PSAs,since their rank (EA2 or higher) can bring your certain amount of VP (from CSAs and their ranks you have nothing directly).Still,from both you will earn some money when they order something from Tripleclicks web store.If it's your PSA you will earn 45% of CV (Commission volume) and if it's your CSA then it will 15% of CV for you.Matching points can be earned from PSAs as well as CSAs (they all have to be EA2 rank or higher,and you have to be at least bronze team leader).

All in all,you'll have benefit through:
- direct commissions (45% for PSA and 15% for CSA)
- matching points (if they're EA2 or higher)
- versa points (only from the rank of your PSAs)


Note that PSAs are yours FOR LIFE (for as long as you are and they are part of SFI) and CSAs are yours for as long as you keep achieving minimum EA status (1500 VP/month or more).In other words,you can be part of SFI and loose your CSAs,but you can't loose your PSAs (except if they opt-out on their own).

Also,when it comes to sponsoring,to your PSAs you're at place number 1,and to your CSAs you're at place number 2.
