I can think of Four possible reasons why you said that your communication skills is not good. I want to suggest how you can still be a good supporting sponsor under each circumstances

1. You may be lacking in knowledge - In other words, you do not know what to say. The best solution for that is to read and study more the contents of SFI and TripleClicks websites.

2. Language barrier - You may have knowledge but you can not express it in English - The solution for this is you use online translator like google. If you receive question in english, translate in your language, then answer it in your own language and translate it to english before sending it to your affiliates.

3. Thought organization - you may have 1 and 2 but you can not just organize your thought, you do not know how to say it in a cohesive and organize manner. I suggest that you make a bulleted outline of what you want to say. Think of keywords or phrase first and arrange them in bulleted form, then write 2 or 3 sentences describing your keywords. Like what I am doing now as I answer you question.

4. Grammar, right use of words, and sentence construction - Use short and simple sentences. Use dictionary to know the meaning of the words that you want to use. A translation dictionary is very helpful.

Lastly before you attempt to answer, be sure that you understand what is being asked by your affiliates.

There are a lot of us that feel our communication skills are lacking. Myself included.

What I would suggest is read thru some of the example letters that SFI provides for us to read and emulate.

On the other hand, if your are dedicated to providing your team members with answers to their questions in a timely manner. Offering guidance to them, congratulating them and simply being there for them will provide the good support that they need. In doing the above, you will see the results in your communication skills in your reviews that your PSA/CSA's leave for you.

I speak from experience with this. Because of doing the above, I have received very good ratings from my team members.

As time goes on, you will hone what you feel is lacking in your communication.

I hope this helps. I wish you the best of success.

"Communication skills" is not any extraordinary quality required to qualify as a good supporting sponsor. As for as you can communicate and I believe you can as your question shows, should be taken as more than enough to continue your task. However communication is a very vast subject,it would have bee more appropriate if you could have slightly pinpointed your grey areas.

Having said that, let me tell you there is no declamation contest going on neither is any essay competition on.You are not going to communicate to aliens or robots or non-human creature where some special skills are required. Therefore one should not be complacent of being not good in communication skills. If you can communicate to your near and dear ones then why not to your down line. You have to answer their queries,you have to just guide them with all available material with you. Soon you,ll realize how good you are in your communication when your down line will start rating you well. You have to write few sentences in simple English (or whatever your language is),you have to convey your feeling and points with the all available tools/material already provided by SFI,response will encourage you and your skills will be more polished.

I don,t know what is the background of this question,it is prob,ly shyness or underestimating your own qualities.I,m sure no one from outside has indicated any such weakness in you.So be confident and natural, go ahead with the all the qualities and skills with you and never underestimate yourself. To be more confident read the article :
"How can I be an awesome sponsor and create big income duplication?"

Follow the DO's and DONT's in the article,it will boost your spirit and confidence.

Wishing you a great success.

Are you good at having conversations with your friends, family, etc.? If you can do this, then you can easily become good at talking to your downlines!!:))

They are regular people, just like you are, and it would be pretty hard for them to bite when you are online!:)

Be sure you understand SFI yourself, and be willing to go find the answer to their question if you do not know. Then tell them where to find the information. (You can explain a little, then include the link for them. It would be a much better response than just shooting them a link and saying "here it is, go read it".)

When you give them the gist of the answer, tell them that such-and-so link explains it very well, and they can email you back if they have further questions.

Also, point them to AskSC for answers to just about anything SFI/TripleClicks. Tell them to put their query into the search bar on AskSC, then read as many of the answers as they need to.

Remember, your affiliates are just people who are looking to earn a living for themselves, and they look to you for your knowledge. Be confident in what you know, and the communicating will flow just as though you were speaking to one of your friends!!:))...

If you do not believe in yourself and think your communication skills are not as good as you think they should be, do not back down. Show people you are dedicated to your work and are willing to always help them. Your affiliates will appreciate it.

“Practice makes perfect” – use your current skills and talk to your downliners. Nowadays there are many sites where you can communicate with your team members. If you are not sure how to explain something, ask them what do they think is the solution and together you can discuss the subject and find the best answer.

We do not always know everything. You can guide them and explain where they can find the information they need. Send them videos which best represent the answer to their question. In that way, you teach them to be resourceful.

Make a blog where, instead of texting you affiliates directly, you can write down your answers. Send them your blog address explaining that, in the future, there will be all the information they need. Update your blog with every new question they have and you can become a good supporting sponsor.

Hi Laura,

Do not underestimate your ability to communicate. Even the shyest of people have some degree of communication skills.

For example, I am sure you have no problem giving your closest friends good advice when they need it, and you probably can't wait to tell them about a great movie you saw or recommend a useful new app or interesting article you found online. Am I right?

If you can do that, then you already have communication skills, and all you need to do is adopt that same attitude of caring, confidence and passion you have when you communicate with your friends, and employ it to support your team.

In order to provide good support, learn as much as you can about the information you plan to share, communicate it as simply and plainly as possible and imagine that your team members are your dearest friends.

As your communication skills improve, so will your relationship with your team members. This will give you the confidence you need to continue to polish and refine these skills so that you can provide even better support to your existing affiliates and those you sponsor in the future.
