They will have a longer row to hoe, but they can also be very successful!! Do not try to deter anyone who wants to join, but has not extra funds available, they could turn into your best TL!!

You need to encourage them to do the beginning steps, reading, etc. Also begin teaching them how to parlay TCredits into MRPs (via auctions/games) into more TCredits into more MRPs, etc. This will help gain Sales and Action VPs.

Also, ensure they understand the value of doing ALL the free activities in To-do list as they come up, to clear their red tabs daily, rate AskSC answers, put their own answers in when they are qualified.

After a week or so, begin teaching them how to advertise, using all the available marketing methods that are free... flyers under windshield wipers, in lunchrooms, bus seats when you leave, bulletin boards everywhere you see one!! Do not forget their warm market, either! They might get some of their family or friends to become PRMs, gain sales from them, which would help them earn their New Member Packs! Leave no stone unturned locally that could help them sponsor PSAs and PRMs!

Encourage them to use the training materials found in the black bar tabs on SFI pages, and to explore all the sites within them.

When they are more confident, point them to free ads sites for recruiting...

These are only SOME of the methods to grow a team without investing very much money:))...

I would start off with conversation along the lines of how are they doing with their business?

How much cost: to join? ...for the training? ...membership fees for the "office" or "back office"? ...for required monthly autoship? ...for a web site?

As they answer each question, you can give them the same one word answer: FREE. That ought to get their attention!!

And hopefully, questions! Openings for you to explain about SFI and TripleClicks, ending with giving them a card, or email, with your links to join, or explore. And let them know they can opt out for no penalty of any kind if it's not their cup of tea. If they know about opt out, they might be more inclined to explore, knowing they won't be trapped into something they might not want.

Some ideas, anyway. Hope it helps...

Use the same flyers, with or without pulltabs, that you would use any where else. Try putting them in cafeteria areas, library, vestibules of dorms, eating places around the college. Laundry rooms. Every place the students eat, study, play, etc., just like you would for any other group.

The difference is how to play the advertising to this generally younger group. Appeal to the idea of residual income to help with college expenses as well as play money. Expound rather more fully on the idea of LIFEtime residual income.

Also appeal to "play time" - auctions, Time Machine, the challenge of Pick the Price. Even smart young boys and girls need to have the mental relief of play. Point out that THIS playtime could also have monetary-type benefits.

There is lots of ways to appeal, and college kids are a great audience, could end up with several really active PSAs!!:))

Wish you very well...

The easiest way would be with the mailers, under the Power Tools tab on Home page. I would recommend using the appropriate mailer for each group rather than the more generic team mailer.

Also would advise individually direct emailing your best Movers, encouraging them in their efforts with congratulation-type messages.

Initially, I would say group mailings no more than twice per week.

Movers, email them on an as-needed basis. If they are doing well, maybe only once a week. Be sure to email those who have attained the next rank, regardless of when you last wrote them.

Movers who aren't moving so well, two, maybe three times per week, encouraging them to keep going, mention some other way to make VPs, make it a point to let them know they can email you directly if there's some problem they are having.

Sometimes, just play it by ear as to when to email someone, and which way.

In one word...ADVERTISE!!!

Try some new campaigns with a holiday focus, and freshen up any current campaigns you have running. Focus on items you might like to have yourself. Ads for things you really like may come across to others very well.

Advertise "person-specific" types of products - gifts for Dad, Mom, whomever - from both TripleClicks and ECAs.

And a garage sale in your own T-Connect store of gently used items might fit more budgets than you would think:)

Hope these thoughts help:))...

I would suggest you let your downlines know you are available to help them whenever they need you!

Hopefully, your initial guidance when they join SFI, or become your CSA, will help them to learn all they can from the available training, and help sources, like Forum, a2a friends, askSC, and yourself.

When they have been here for a while, the active ones will be mostly self-sufficient, with occasional questions for you.

The sleepers may awaken some time in the future, and even though they have been here possibly a long time, they will need your help as though they were brand new. You never can tell when they will awaken, or what will do the trick.

That is why it is important to continue sending communications to your PSAs and CSAs as long as you are in SFI. The active ones will appreciate your attention, and the inactives may actually wake up one day, and be GREAT!!!

Here's to success:))...

I would suggest an SO of at least 100 TCs (1200 SVPs), and another $21US to equal 300 SVPs or more. Or 50 TCs, with some PSAs to Go, or S-Builder Unit. One should try to have at least 1500 SVP Standing Order to guarantee themselves EA2 monthly. Some TCredits are needed to gain the AVP from playing games, bidding auctions daily. These AVPs are also needed if one wants to be a team leader.

During your available hour, clear red tabs, play a game or two (Time Machine, Pick the Price...), and place at least 1 bid for 1AVP/day.

With such short time available, one would need a means of gaining PSAs without spending the time or money to advertise. That is why I think S-Builder Unit(s), or PSAs to Go would be a good choice for team building. You will need to find time within the hour to communicate with these new PSAs, though.

One hour and strictly only $50 is a pretty tough way to go, but it CAN be done. It will just take a little longer:))...

I would recommend contacting them the same way as any of your original CSAs and PSAs.

Begin with the welcome email or e-card, introducing yourself as their new co-sponsor. Advise them of your contact information, let them know you are available to help them any time they need it.

Then continue with regular contacts, as you have been doing all along. Regular, informative contacts will let them know you are from their country, and hopefully good rapport will be established.

If their sponsor is not from their country, you may be more of a sponsor than co-sponsor to them, but that will still also benefit both you and your new CSAs. This is the purpose for the Exchange, to get everybody as active as they wish, with leaders they can communicate with successfully.

Best wishes with your new CSAs:))...

Using your own garage sale, you could set up a display in a prominent place with some of the many X-Cards, flyers, make posters with some of the Eager Zebra logos on them with explanations of the games, pictures of Pricebenders auction items (the items themselves you may have won) available to win.

You could use the same methods for neighborhood or church group yard sales, where you would potentially have a much larger moving by.

Using another person's yard sale would be fine as well, so long as you have gotten the approval of the person.

This could be a very casually presented, effective way to reach easily a very large group. I think it is an excellent idea!! Also very cost effective!!:))

Best wishes for successful yard-saling!!:))...

The easiest way would be to start over from scratch.

Obviously, you have been learning more about SFI since you first wrote your letter. Now, by starting over, you can write an even more comprehensive letter than you could have when you were also still new to SFI.

Go from your heart, paint the best word picture you can to show off the best advantages of SFI membership. Try not to overload your new PSA, but don't leave them in the dark, either. Make sure to let them know you are available via whatever method works best for you, and will always help them find their answers.

Be encouraging, brief, use a little humor, some examples. Mostly, let them know you care about their success, and are willing to help them reach their goals.

Best wishes for your awesome new Welcome Letter!!:))...
