As soon as an affiliate has signs up, welcome them to 'THE TEAM'. Introduce yourself not only as their team leader, but also as their personal guide to success with SFI.
This will make them feel comfortable to ask you for assistance and guidance when ever they need it.
Build a relationship with them both within and outside SFI. For example; send them a friend request on facebook, LinkedIn, or some other social network, so you can get to know them as 'people' not just 'affiliates', and they can get to know you.
Email them or call them up if you can. This will assure them that you are a 'real, live person' who is genuinely interested in establishing a connection with them and not just a digital response or phony name at some business response service.
Share with them some current personal experiences like the latest DVD you watched or your thoughts on some current world event etc; not just SFI business related matters.
Do what you would usually do to build relationships with people you have tangible contact with in your everyday life. (Although you have never met, seen or touched them, your affiliates are 'real people' too.)
Do this and you will make strong connections and friends for life from all over the world: That has to be one of my most favorite things about SFI.
