Hi Bob,

Yes, I believe you should. Pricebender's is a great penny auction and I use it to help myself in several ways - and believe you and your team could use the same:

- Definitely make at least one bid per day, because now, with the new red tab SFI has given for PB, you can earn TWO AVP for just one T-Credit spent on your first bid for the day. Done each day, this is another 30VP bonus...

- Also, if you make 3 or 4 bids and try to time them around the flash

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

I don't think any form of advertising is out of play - with cold calling, you can do well. Possibly better even than internet advertising as far as percentage of signups goes. But the thing with internet advertising is that you can reach more people - the cold calling is obviously more time-consuming for you to reach people.

So I wouldn't limit yourself to cold calling, but it is certainly one of the avenues you can pursue. Again, I think any form of advertising is good - especially

Hi Sunit!

Great question! I think the most important tool is the genealogy tool. This will tell you many things about your PSA's and CSA's - when they signed up, last logged in, profile details, etc. You can learn alot about them from here and also use this tool to generate emails to the PSA's and CSA's you want to - use one of the convenient filters to define the group you want your mail to go to - such as PSA's in the last 10 days, or last month, or CSA's this month, etc. The

Hi Izabella,

You can let them know that it's similar to Amazon, with new AND used products for sale, PLUS the added features of the games, penny auctions, and music downloads.

It's a combination of several sites into one! The games are educational and provide opportunities to win prizes in T-Credits and more...

I hope this helps - the main thing is that it offers something for everyone - whatever they are interested in, they'll be able to find it at TripleClicks...

Should I advise new PSAs to slow down and not qualify as Team Leaders so quickly?

Hi Sandra!

I think definitely not - do not advise them to slow down. You want to advise your PSA's to do what you do.

Think of it this way:
Why do you want to be a Team Leader? Why is it beneficial for you?
- The biggest reason of course is the matching VP on all PSA's and CSA's that are EA2.
- On top of that, you get additional CSA's - because team leaders get shares of second-home CSA's each month. As a team leader, you'll get matching VP on those CSA's

Which is better and why...to contact my PSAs through SFI (e.g. PSA Mailer) or directly via their email address?

Hi Rania,

This is a good question - and not the easiest to answer... there are pros and cons to each, but I have found that people tend to respond better to emails to their personal email address and not from the SFI team mailer.

I think this is because they get so many emails from SFI that it's easy for them to overlook messages from you through the team mail. It's better I've found to send something to them directly as they will take the time to look at it and read

Hi Alvin,

This just depends on how fast you want to succeed. The fastest way to succeed in SFI is to:

Create a standing order for 125 T-Credits
Do your daily/weekly/monthly actions (including at least 1 game and 1 PB auction bid each day)
Find 5 other people willing and wanting to do the same as you do

That's it - as soon as you have 5 people, you become profitable each month (really, probably with 4, because with 4 EA2's you can easily be BTL, and

Hi Manohar! Great question! There is so much here on SFI it's hard to know where to begin sometimes - or where to advise your PSA's to begin!

I think the best are:
1) SFI Basics
2) Compensation plan - so they can see how they are compensated
3) Fast Track - so they get the 10% bonus on ALL VP (personal VP AND matching VP when they become team leader)

The Fast Track is the biggest - I always try to advise them to become Fast Track members in the first 10

Hi Carl! This is the million dollar question! I am not an expert by any means, but have been playing around with a method that seems to be taking off a bit.

The main thing is to explain to them how they can easily, with little cost, exponentially grow their income by becoming GOLD fast track, team leader, and finding 2-3 per month to do the same thing they did.

I explain the advantages of becoming a GOLD fast track member, mainly being immediately qualified as EA2 in

Hi Ana!

Good question! I like to provide more detailed information. I have found that many people are drawn into SFI by the word "FREE" to join. And while this is true, we know the best, and quickest, way to grow an income with SFI is to set up a standing order - to make purchases to maintain EA2 (or Team Leader) status. Once people see this, they tend to run. So I try to be upfront, explaining the details - why a purchase is better - but also explaining how becoming
