What's a Co-Sponsor? Co-Sponsor is a new position that is assigned by SFI Corporate. Similar to the Sponsor, the Co-Sponsor shares in the financial benefits and support responsibilities of the affiliate of whom he/she is the assigned Co-Sponsor.
As an affiliate's Co-Sponsor, you can immediately begin earning up to 24% CV commissions on all their purchases (plus an additional 4% to 8% on all their sales)! This benefit can also continue monthly! For exact commission details and qualifications, see the SFI Compensation Plan.
Co-Sponsorships are assigned in two primary ways, which you can read about HERE.
What I want to talk about specifically today, however, is the co-sponsorships that brand new affiliates can receive, and the requirements. The requirements are very simple and straightforward:
Accumulate 1500 VersaPoints within your first 15 days
Do that and you've qualified to receive (currently, approximately 20) co-sponsorships that could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars to you in the years to come.
But, wow, isn't 1500 a LOT of points to have to produce in just 15 days? Actually, no. Let's do the math:
Let's say you just joined SFI. Assuming you've confirmed your registration and whitelisted SFI's mailing address (these are the first two steps required before you can even enter the SFI Affiliate Center), you've already got 400 points to start.
For easy, "getting started" points, you can now do the following 13 actions:
For completing your Affiliate Profile (200 points)
For reviewing the "R" (Refer) Index (50 points)
For reviewing the "S" (Sponsor) Index (50 points)
For sending your SFI Commitment Message to your sponsor (50 points)
For entering a personal welcome message to greet the affiliates you sponsor (50 points)
For registering as an a2a member (50 points)
For reading the Getting Started FAQs (20 points)
For reading the "About SFI" page (20 points)
For reviewing the SFI Compensation Plan (10 points)
For reviewing the SFI Benefits Chart (10 points)
For reviewing the Global Growth Report (30 points)
For registering to follow SFI on Twitter (30 points)
For uploading your photo to the Affiliate Center (30 points)
All of the above can be completed, easily, in just 1-2 hours, and it's generated another 600 points for you. So in just your first hour or two, you can easily reach 1000 points.
Of course, a new affiliate is also now receiving our LaunchPad™ "getting started" training e-mails. Each day's quiz earns you another 20 points. So, by day 15, you've grabbed another easy 300 points (15 days x 20 points = 300).
That's a grand total of 1300 points now, without even breaking a sweat. To get the remaining 200, you can earn four points a day just for logging into the SFI Affiliate Center and visiting your SFI Homepage. You can earn 240 points for purchasing an EyeEarn Starter Kit. And there are numerous other actions listed on your SFI To-Do List you can take to easily reach 1500 points within 15 days.
And you can, of course, also earn UNLIMITED points with sales or purchases at TripleClicks (many of our most popular products come with 1000 points or more!)
By the way, if you hadn't noticed, the new co-sponsorship program is designed to not only provide a great incentive to get seriously active in SFI right away, but also to ensure that the affiliates who receive co-sponsorships REMAIN active, too.
How? To retain any co-sponsorships received, an affiliate must achieve 1500 points or more every month. They forfeit the co-sponsorships if they fail to maintain the 1500 point level, and no one wants to lose such a valuable asset of course!
So, with that in mind, it's VERY important that when you're recruiting new affiliates that you work with them to reach the 1500 points in 15 days.
Here's a tip for doing that: Go to your genealogy and use the Join Date filter to pull up just your affiliates who are within their first 15 days. Now, sort by "VP(T)–-this is the abbreviation for Total VersaPoints To Date--in descending (dsc) order.
You can now see exactly who in your organization still has an opportunity to secure a quantity of co-sponsorships, and you can contact them to see if you can assist them.
Here's a really good way to do it: Click on their VersaPoints total–that is, the points listed under the "VP(T)" column. You'll now see a listing (in a new window) of all the actions they've earned points for so far and all the actions that they can do to earn even more points. For many of your affiliates, you'll probably see a number of "easy" actions that they can grab quick points for. Point these actions out to them and offer helpful advice where you can. For example, maybe they don't understand how to get set up to follow SFI on Twitter (a 30-pointer), but YOU do.
Help them get as many points as they can. You'll be helping them and you'll be positioning yourself for great, long-term growth!
NOTE: Once you get them to 1500 points, they've also become an EA (Executive Affiliate), which earns YOU 100 VersaPoints for the month--and which you'll continue to earn every month they remain at the EA level!
