It seems to me that you’re lacking confidence to communicate with your team members. You need to get out of that mindset and do a self reassessment to establish a clear picture of yourself and identify what’s causing you to think that way. In expanding the growth of your network your communication skills play a very important role. If you think you need to work on your communication skills, you can do a Google search of “communication skills test” to assess the level of your communication skill.
Understanding the communication process will help you improve your communication skills:
- During communication with one of your team members, there are stages of communication process that take place:
You as the Source > Encoding of Message > Message Channel > Message Decoding > your team member as the Receiver
- You, who is the source of the communication put your ideas into a message (encodes), and transmits your message through a channel. The receiver decodes the message, and, in one way or another, feeds back understanding or a lack of understanding to you as the source.
- By understanding the steps in the process, you can become more aware of your role, you’ll then recognize what you need to do to communicate effectively, anticipate problems before they happen, and improve your overall ability to communicate effectively.
You can improve your communication skills that enable you to effectively connect with others in your team, build trust and respect, and feel heard and understood.
For the meantime, while working on your communication skills you can do the following in supporting your team members:
- Follow the step by step advice of “Be an awesome Sponsor”.
- Connect with your upline for support
- Use the My Country/Region sub-forum to communicate with your affiliates. You might find threads that can help in supporting your team members. As you participate in the forum, you’ll be able to view your messages before your team members. This is a good way for you to assess your communication skills.
But don’t stop here, you’ll be limiting your SFI business growth by not encouraging yourself to strive in improving your communication skills.
You need to be effective on all aspects of the communication process from sender to receiver and be comfortable with the different channels of communication whether it is written, face to face, on the phone and so on, not allowing poor communication to become a barrier in growing your SFI business.
