Hello there. My apologies, but I think before you develop the trust, it should be earned first. Anyway, here is my opinion:

Be the man/woman. I mean, they will not trust you if they do not see you worth their trust. Be a good example to them. Let them see you as someone who started as AFF, that thru dedication and patience, not to mention a strong belief in the SFI policy and system, had slowly started to make your climb to the top, and that you can, and will, bring them with you.

Trust is earned.

Even if you do not have a team, ACT like you do. It is good practice.

Post to your blog, post in the Stream page, send out team mails.

If you have no CSAs to send out to, you need to get out some ads to build your traffic, or... get an S-Builder Co-op share and get enough VP to become EA. You earn points when you send email to your team.

Learn from the training pages, then after reviewing them, pay attention to the questions in Ask SC,

Great question!

You should understand that SFI and other multi-level marketing is based on relationship.

Therefore, to build trust, you should treat all your sponsored affiliates and referred members as a friend and colleague, not as an object of achieving only your own desire.

Therefore it is your duty to love and care for them with respect to their business, imagine the relationship between a mother and her babby, thats a perfect way to build trust and leadership,

Honesty is the best Policy.Be honest & tell them the truth.
Tell them it is not a get quick rich scheme or form filling or email reading or survey scheme.
Tell them they will not be paid per hour.
Tell them that starting is free but you will not go very far if you do not spend at all.
Tell them to be patient & go through the STAR,SFIBASICS & LAUNCHPAD lessons.
If they are still interested,tell them that you are always available for any guidance needed

Be honest, provide your affiliates with the steps to get started, be there to answer questions and offer assistance. Let them know what works for you and be encouraging through praise, inspiration, ideas and tips. Let them know they must work at the business to become successful, but you are always willing to help in any way you can.

Suggest but don't push. Be a coach, not a boss.

You need to be confident in what you tell your team and always be honest. If a PSA/CSA in my downline ask me a question that I don't know the answer to I first try to research it to find the answer. If I can't then I give them the information I found and tell them that I would submit a support ticket with the question or post it on the forum for a better answer. Additionally, having contest for your team and promoting your top movers go along way to building a strong team that trust you.

This question affects all of us, in the sense that TRUST is the foundation of any relationship. With regards to the Leader- Affiliate relationship, develop your trust one step at a time, bearing in mind that you are the leader (and not the master!!) and should lead by example. Avoid putting too much pressure on the affiliate and be honest in all your dealings with them. Encourage and inspire them when things are not going well. Success is a journey and there maybe stations along the way when waiting

i think we should do this :


1. Honest, because with honesty we will be able to trust.

2. Competent, teams will usually believe in leaders have the competence, skills and experience that is very adequate.

3. Confidence, because the confidence same with courage to face the challenge. More than that, we also must have the courage to make the challenge we face and we finish. the challenge that we have always made it a tool to enhance our skills and experience.

To make a huge income we build a team, then that team build their own team and so on. This team is known as a “downline” and having more than one team is called a “multi-level downline” or a “network” – hence the term “Network Marketing”.

Scammers work on getting money from you as quick as possible. The idea is to make as much money as they can before people realise they’ve been cheated. SFI is free to join and gives you everything you need to get started for free.
