This question can be answered in one single word Honesty. That has to be from the first moment that you send a personal warm greeting to your new affiliates letting them know upfront what their potentials for success will be but also warn them up front that they will not get rich quickly. The truth may disappoint them at first but they will come to know your honesty that they will trust you. If you are like the boy who cries wolf at first they will believe you but then after knowing that you lie to them then you will never be trusted again.

You must also be reliable because affiliates want to know that you are available 90 percent of the time when they send you emails or if they want to chat with you here on SFI for support, the new ones need the most help because the affiliate center gives them lots of materials but they are just in the process of getting to know their way around and with soooooo many material it will take them thousands of hours to sift through unless they can count on you to fish out the appropriate materials for them and then give them the links to copy and paste so that you make the job easier for them. The point is affiliates trust a sponsor who is always available to answer their questions and to help them find the materials they need when it comes to learning any part of the business they wish to know.

You must also be attentive to the specific needs of your affiliates because each affiliate is going to be located in different countries in the world so you should take the time to interview your affiliates in order to get a background on their situations or challenges they might face when trying to succeed on SFI, so you should encourage them to set their goals when setting their personal profile so that you can see how you can help them to achieve these goals.


In summary in order to develop trust you must always be honest, reliable, and attentive( Be a good listener!)

Good Luck.
