I think that Affiliates struggle with two things. The first being communication. Communication is just so difficult as each country have their own “idioms” As an example, making a joke in one country can be classed as insulting in another country.
What I think should be done here is to send your emails in both English and also the Affiliates basic language. It’s a bit of trouble to go to but overall, if you want your business to work, then it is most definitely worth it.
Now to make it easy, go through your Genealogy and filter people by Country. Then send this group an email with their native language first and English second.
Put a sentence at the foot asking that they contact you and advise you whether they would like all their future emails sent this way.
I think that if your team members see the trouble you are going to, they may become more responsive.
The second thing which I believe that Affiliates struggle with is suspicion. Just think……someone who you don’t know helping you. Unheard of? You need to make your team mails and emails helpful and informative. Set out who you have helped and how you have helped other members.
I guess taking both problems into consideration, it really does all come down to communication and how we word our mailings. Even though you are not “in person” your attitude can be sensed if your mails are not worded correctly.
