If you are actively building your SFI business, you will be attempting to keep in contact with your teammates. However, there is a situation that is not to pleasant and that is most of your teammates will not respond to your sent messages.
I know a lot of new affiliates wonder if they are doing something wrong because no one is responding to their stream post or weekly team mails. This is very understandable especially to those who have never worked a marketing plan like SFI where team work is essential (extremely important).
There are a few things you do need to consider when sending messages to your team.
One of them would be to make sure that you are not “demanding” that your affiliates do something. You are not a military leader nor their boss always keep in mind that your teammates are business partners – business partners work together – they don’t rule each other.
Another thing to consider would be if you are sending the same information over and over again. This makes your messages predictable and boring. You need fresh good content in each and every message you send whether you are using stream or weekly mails.
The things I do to get the most responses from my team are:
1. Keep my messages short – but very informative.
2. I always try be very positive and motivating with the content I am using.
3. I do not use copied information from SFI – they already are receiving that – I cover the same information but put it in my everyday words and experiences.
4. I do my best to keep my content centered on their accomplishments instead of mine. Lift them up – “If you blow your personal horn in public you just make a big noise – If you blow their horn in public you make devoted partners.” (my quote)
5. I try to end my messages (team mails) asking for suggestions and or comments to help build good team work between all the members.
6. Finally, I always encourage my teammates to contact me for ANY reason or for ANY kind of help and assistance that they may need.
By slowly learning to incorporate the above six methods in sending messages to my teammates the response rate has increased dramatically over the last couple of years.
