Maybe that I do not understand this question right....
1. I promote the idea of my Affiliates asking questions. They think differently than I do. They see things differently and I gain their vision.
2. They sometimes ask me questions that I do not know the answers, and I need to refer to my own "upline".
3. Not once I was ignored / not answered by my Sponsor or Co Sponsor. They have always come back to me with an idea to solve the question asked.

There is a simple strategy to get over the fear of talking to people, that is based on 2 pillars.

1. Speak with knowledge. Know what you are talking about and make sure you are a master of the product or service, and if in some odd way you get asked something that you do not know, just admit it, and get back to that person later when you have found the correct answer. This build respect rather than disbelieve.

2. Speak with authority. You can only do this once you have tried

No one is born a leader, but passion about what needs to be done will develop your leadership skills along with your confidence.

Confidence comes with knowledge: You need to understand what you are selling and supporting.

Knowledge go hand-in-hand with POWER: Power to motivate, and duplicate and that make you a LEADER.

Leadership begins with a simple mind-set of "I want to be......"
Leadership is simply related to an attitude.

You cannot ensure duplication. You can however increase your percentage of effectiveness of duplication. Good leaders produce good leaders. Your honesty and guidance will mold the next generation of leadership.

Your own actions will control your destiny and the destiny of your followers. It may sound political, but it's been proven by history.

As a new Team Leader, what is the single most important thing I should be doing?

You limit this to "one thing" and that make this not an easy question to answer. I will however be able to answer this in one sentence:

Lead from the front, and by example, whilst having a strong work ethic with honest and transparent business values.

This is not the only answer, nut this one while take you a long way....

People are convinced by a strong approach. You as an ambassador for SFI should have the knowledge to counter any "uneasy" questions that may come your way.

Make sure you have your facts right and are "on the top of your game" when you enter the conversation, so that you can speak with authority.

This work in all sales environments, and SFI is not different.

Confidence comes with knowledge. Make sure you know what you are talking about.
