Once you gain some a2a friends, start conversations with them. Send an e-card, or email to make contact.

Start a conversation about yourself, or why you joined SFI, where you live - anything to start the talking.

When you have a difficulty, go to any - or many - of your a2a friends with your questions or difficulties, ask if they have suggestions to resolve the issue. Sometimes you will get information/resolution faster than submitting support tickets due to their overwhelming

Is cold calling, using a local telephone directory, a good method for attracting new PSAs?

NO, I would not recommend cold calling!!

Here in the USA, you may be violating "do not call" lists from people who do not want unsolicited sales calls on any of their phones.

I believe it would also be mostly a waste of your time, as most people would probably hang up before you got very much information mentioned.

For cold marketing, you might be much more successful to place SFI and/or TripleClicks cards or flyers under windshield wiper blades in store

The key word here, Emmanuel, is "allegedly"!:)

I have tried at least half a dozen online businesses in the last few years, to no avail. Why? Money.

First, you pay anywhere from $99US to $299US just to join! The next step is get the better training for another $xxx.

Now it's time to advertise. The best plan will cost $xxxx.US for a year, or $xxx.US for 6 months.

SFI, on the other hand, has the most exhaustive, up-front training a person could

How much time a day, approximately, do I need to invest in SFI to build a profitable business?

Very honestly, I would say 2-3 hours every day. In order to read all the Forum posts, reply to some, just "like" others, takes time. To rate 30 askSC answers takes a little time. Answering new questions now and then can take a fair amount of time.

Clearing red tabs is not too much time, maybe 15-20 minutes if you do not dawdle, but do read everything (tips, stream, etc.).

Then there is supporting your downlines, which will take varying amounts of time routinely.

Part of the training at SFI encourages us all to post our goals. This is a very good way to keep track of your progress every month. As you reach some of your goals, reset them, aiming just a little higher. This will help keep you focused on the tasks that will help you attain your goals.

After you have been with SFI a couple months and gotten more familiar, go reset your goals in your profile. Now that you are aware of the potentials, what is involved in accomplishing them, do some

What is the best Eager Zebra game to generate TCredits, VP, and MRP?

I think overall, Knockout Trivia probably has a pretty good score in all 3. Well, a little low on VP, since only 1/entry. If you spend TCs in the game, can increase your VPs. Otherwise, the more questions you get right, the more TCs and MRP you will win, even if not the game. Big wins of TCs/MRPs for winners.

Best overall choice is auctions for TC packs. Each bid costs 1 TC, pays 5 (or10) MRPs/bid, and 1AVP/bid. This can account for up to 500 AVP/month toward your rank, and unlimited

As often as you need to. They are there to guide you to your best with SFI, and to help

you find where to find the answers you need. Do not be offended if they help you

by directing you to good sources for your answer -- they might not know the answer

themselves, specifically, but could know where to go -- and the best way to learn is

by looking it up yourself, it will stick in your mind better. But if you are still

I believe it would be wisest to discuss the pros and cons with PSAs who may be trying to put the cart first. Mayhaps they don't realize that moving too soon could be a handicap.

When you talk to them, I would suggest explaining the advantages of becoming at least BTL when they are ready. It does have some good advantages.

I would also make very sure they fully understand what is involved with maintaining BTL versus EA2. It IS more difficult to do without a strong team, but

SFI costs nothing to join but your time.

To succeed here, it will take much reading to become well acquainted with the system. Then is time for action. You have a Sponsor and Co-Sponsor to help you learn and progress.

SFI has, literally, an entire LIBRARY of training, with every single word available for NO CHARGE!!

The Forum, a2a, and askSC are excellent sources of information, with the first 2 being live people if you don't care to read.

Don't be too long-winded with your answers. Stay on the point of the question. Keep your words, ideas, presentation interesting. A little humor sometimes helps!:)

Do your best to give a full, sensible answer. Someone is reaching out, asking for help. Answer them with the same quality with which you would like to be answered. Have respect for their intelligence, be honest.

After that, it is purely up to how well the other affiliates receive your answers!! (Which is really
