I find that sometimes it is an advantage. I work at night and do SFI in the day. My USA affiliates are working SFI after they get home from work and it is easy to connect.
To keep track of every one I have an excel file with their Name, Country, SFI ID, and Email. Then I use this link to set up skype appointments. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
I encourage every member to go to the Leadership page for their country and connect with Top SFI Affiliates in their country via A2A.

Once they get a reply to the A2A friend request I have my affiliates send this message:
Dear NAME
Thank you for befriending me in SFI's A2A members area. I too am an SFI affiliate from COUNTRY. I see you have done well in SFI and I was wondering, are there any problems I may have since I am from COUNTRY? Is there any advice or direction that you might give me? Do you have your own ECA, or have you recruited any ECAs from COUNTRY, that I might visit and support?
Thank you for your Time. Your A2A friend,
Affiliate's Name
These things work well for me.
