If one can identify the root of the problem, one has already won part of the battle and the rest of the battle is fixing the problem.
Effective communication is part and parcel of successful leadership as it is not enough to have great ideas, which cannot be shared. So your first step should be to identify what is holding you back from effectively passing on your ideas. For example is it language or lack of communication resources? With respect to the sponsor-affiliate relationship, SFI has made available a platform from which the sponsor can talk to their affiliates. These include PSA and CSA mailer as well as Genealogy. With these resources, you can send messages to your affiliate’s homepage. In addition, I think you can also improve your communication by learning from the draft letters such as those given for welcoming your new affiliates. Over a period of time you are going to improve upon them.
If on the other hand the issue is language, then you can use the translation tools to help you. Most of the time however, we may find that the problem is the absence of communication at all between the sponsor and the affiliate. Although one’s success is not completely determined by one’s sponsor, the absence of dialogue in the first few days of joining can be unsettling and may force those without self-motivation to throw in the towel.
In face-to-face communication, how we present our message, including our body language is as just as important as the message itself. In the absence of face-to-face interaction, how the sponsor writes to the affiliate is just as important as the ideas one wants to communicate.
Finally, I would say spend sometime looking at the answers that will be presented to your question and see if you can identify where you are lacking and apply yourself accordingly.
