Hi there
When you say your communication skills are not good - do you mean speaking to people or do you mean any and all forms of communication? If it is speaking to people it is not such a big issue - you will be communicating mostly in writing.
In my opinion a very important skill you need to be a good supporting sponsor is great "listening" skills - "listen" to your affiliates, "listen" to what they need. They may not be asking their questions from you - but keep your eyes open - they often ask questions at the Forum.
If you see a lot of the same question at ASK SC or The Forum - answer that question in your weekly newsletter. Chances are very good if others are battling with it your affiliates are also battling with it.
One advantage of communicating via the written word is that you can choose your words very carefully, make sure you do not suck nonsense out of your thumb. You can make sure of your facts, refer them to links, write and re-write your letters. TIP - keep a copy of every letter you write so you can use it again later on - as you get new affiliates you have to guide them from the beginning again so you can use the appropriate letters to send to them to train them. Before you re-send them you can edit them if need be.
On a personal level - do you know why I rate my sponsor and co-sponsor as awesome? Because they got to know me on a more personal level through e-mails, when I wanted to quit they encouraged me telling me to hang in there and just do my best. When I asked questions they answered them in their own words and gave me a link where I could get more information. They set an example for me - I looked at their badges and worked to get my own badges.
Just be sincere with a genuine desire to help your affiliates and you will be fine and do you know what is going to happen? The more confidence you gain in your knowledge of SFI, TripleClicks and Marketing, the easier it will become to speak to people face to face and tell them about your business. It is funny - no matter how shy you are, when you know what you are talking about and when you are passionate about something you can not stop talking about it.
