Thanks for this question.
Everything depends on the type of relationship that exists between the Leader and the down line.
Right from day one, when we come to know of a new PSA  in our Team, as a Team Leader we should start communicating with all sincerity.
Our very first communication should not just remain a formality; But it should reflect our heart and our sincerity towards the new entrant in to our Team.  
If we are able to bring out and show our genuine concern for the growth of the new affiliate, in our first and following communication, the down line will be able to understand it.
Naturally, the down line will begin to trust the Leader.  When we keep communicating with them consistently (& not just for gathering the weekly AVPs) offering our utmost support and demonstrate it in concrete action there arises a wonderful bonding and that needs to cemented further step by step in the days to follow.
Everything depends on the Leader's attitude towards the down line. To what extent he is able to live up to the expectation of the down line members, will determine their re-action or response.
Mere words will not help. Communication depicting just compliance with SFI formalities will not help. Are you prepared to walk that extra mile towards your down line members so that they  can grow if not quickly at least slowly but steadily?
Down line members expect that sort of commitment from the up line.  When, they grow naturally the up line  too grows.
Conclusion:
SFI has provided enough tools like Movers, Affiliate Snap Shot, Genealogy, VP Ledger, Stream, Chat Line, Team Mail, etc, etc to:
1) Monitor the activities; &
2) Communicate with the Team Members;
We can use any and all of these tools to communicate with the down line.  But if the trust is missing some where, nothing will happen. 
Communication should affirm our commitment to their growth, followed by clear, concrete, correct and timely action. 
Through all these, one can become an awesome Sponsor. The down line will naturally be motivated to work to a plan, achieve results, grow and succeed. Simple communication based on mutual trust and bonding will be key  to get positive results!!
