It depends upon what kind of reason for your contact.

When using the PSA Mailer, all of your PSAs will receive an e-mail in their personal e-mail box, along with receiving one in their SFI mailbox.

If you are contacting only a couple of your PSAs for a specific reason, such as, one on one assistance, than use their personal e-mail address, for this will make it a little more helpful and personable, for your PSAs.

If you are contacting a couple of your PSAs for some sort of recognition, or to share a tip, then use the E-Cards, for this is more personable, and you are also acknowledging and encouraging for your PSAs.

All of our PSAs are working at a different level in their business, some are new, some are struggling and some are getting experienced, and don't need too much guidance anymore.

So, it depends upon what kind of reason for your contact to your PSA's, as to what type of method to use.

Hope this helps.

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

Yes! I think that using all different types of Marketing can certainly help you in attracting new PSAs and/or PRMs.

A Telephone Directory can be a big resource for many different uses.

You could contact Businesses and find out if they might be interested in advertising their products or services in TripleClicks for you to earn some new PRMs.

You could set a meeting to meet them in person, or you can ask if you can send them some information about advertising their business in TripleClicks.

Make sure that before you begin this project, that you already have your Letters/Post-Cards available with all information, (except name and address of your new prospect) included, such as; your name, business name if you have one, address, phone number, and url w/ID# and also stamps for mailing.

TripleClicks Letterhead

TripleClicks Envelopes
https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=27908

TripleClicks X-Cards, (Post-Cards)
https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=375448

This way, when you have an interested prospect, you can send the information out to them immediately .

After about a weeks time, do a follow-up phone call and see if they had received your information through the mail and ask if they have any questions that they might have for you. Then go from there.

Keep a log of you contact with the results. ex. Company A, not interested. Company B, sent letter on 2/18/15, follow-up phone call on 2/25/15, etc....

Also, use Key Codes to help you keep track of your Phone Directory advertising efforts.

Now, for calling for new PSAs prospects.

Create a very short but informative phone script. Let them know that you are building a business with Strong Future International, (SFI), and that if they are looking for a way to earn a second income from home, that you can help them by becoming a member of SFI, and that you would be their Sponsor and you will help support them and guide them on getting their new business started all for Free. No cost to them. Mention all of the Free Training that is available, ask them if you could send them more information through the mail, etc...

Make your script, be your words with a smile.

How many affiliates do I need to sponsor each month to build a successful business?

This is a tricky question.

Only because, what one would call a Successful Business, may not be what someone else would call a Successful Business.

What would you say is a successful business?

Earning $500 a month? Earning $1,000 a month? Earning $10,000 a month?

Besides what SFI suggests to build a successful business, which you can find in the SFI Basics https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics3Steps

1. Become an Executive Affiliate (EA)

2. Recruit five affiliates

3. Teach your five affiliates to do the same

Depending upon "How" successful you want to become, will depend upon "How" big you want to build up a successful business.

The more you sponsor, then the more successful you will become, so if you keep on sponsoring, then the "Sky is the Limit", just don't stop sponsoring.

Set your goals (a financial limit), to what you would call a "Successful Business", keep going until you can reach that goal.

Then, and only then, will you have what you call a, Successful Business.

Aim High & Dream Big!

Hello All,

If I were to have an extra $100 to spend on my SFI Business I think that I would do the following:

Get a Standing Order for the 125 TCredits, for $36.25. By doing so, I would earn my EA2 status each month.

I would be able to reward my downline when they achieve something good, like EA status.

I would also be able to bid in the auctions and earn 1 VP for every bid and maybe win a great prize, such as PSAs or CSAs that could help build up your team and also earn some MRPs to be able to purchase products from TripleClicks, including more TCredits.

I would set aside $10.00 to put into my TripleClicks account so that when I gain an new PSA or CSA, I can give them a $2.00 Gift Certificate to purchase the Wave3 kit, to help them to start earning some TCredits and MRPs and it will encourage them to continue to work on their business.

With the remaining balance of $53.75, I would open up an ECA store.

I would get in touch with at least one Drop-Ship company that I could use to be able to build up my ECA store.

When using a drop-ship company, you must pay for the product first and than ship the product to your buyer before you will get paid for the product from TripleClicks. (Having the $53.75 will allow you to get started.)

By selling products from your ECA store, you could earn more VPs if your buyers are not SFI affiliates.

You will be earning an additional income.

With the additional income from selling products, you will than be able to start investing into different methods of advertising for both your SFI business and your ECA business.

Hello Everyone,

Communication! Let your affiliates know that you are there to help support them and guide them. Share your tips and ideas of what has worked for you.

Motivation! Suggest to them ways to help them grow, such as; read one topic a day to help improve your knowledge, or play T-Time for your chances to win 2 TCredits to help build up your TCredits for when you are ready to use them in games or the auctions.

Inspiration! Encourage them, Believe in them, get them to Believe in themselves. They Can Do, whatever they Want To Do. If they put the effort into what needs to be done, no matter what obstacles they might have to cross, they can do this.

Reassure them that if they just stick with all of the learning and training and start applying what they learn, the sky is the limit on what they can achieve.

Let them know that Only they can become successful working with SFI and TripleClicks, by them taking and treating their SFI business seriously.

Hello Everyone,

I think that there is nothing wrong with using the PSA Greeting format to welcome your new PSAs.

PSA Greeting
https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/NewAffiliateGreeting

When you see them working on-line, (by checking your Movers tab), you can always send them a Chat or an E-mail and do a more personalized Welcome.

The reason I say this is because, let's say you just started a new ad campaign, and it is giving you a great response and you have just received 25 new PSAs on your first day of advertising. The second day, you more than doubled the amount of new sign ups.

Now, if you take the time to address each one individually, you will be consuming more time sending welcome letters than you will be able to handle and will be losing more time doing advertising or other important things that you need to do to build up your business.

Keep in mind also, that not all new PSAs that sign up, will begin to start working their new business. They might just browse through the SFI site to see what it is all about and than leave.

There is nothing wrong with doing and using Time Management Tools. Take advantage of the tools available. So you can just keep on moving forward.

Very good question.

I would suggest that one of the most important things for them to do is, to follow the platform that is already set up in place when one first joins SFI and that would be, to understand the Basics of SFI and TripleClicks, by doing the following:

1. Click on the grey Start button and watch the SFI Getting Started video
https://www.sfimg.com/start

2. Click on the blue Basics button and read the whole page and click on all of the links within the page
https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics

3. Click on the green LaunchPad button and begin to read each lesson daily
https://www.sfimg.com/LaunchPad/

4. Provide information about becoming a Fast Track Member
https://www.sfimg.com/FT

I also think that it is important for your new PSA to know that you, their Sponsor, is there for them and to not worry about asking any types of questions that they might have while learning.

I don't think that you would want to overwhelm them with a lot of information at first. Once they begin and start learning, the rest will all fall into place.

Hello Terence,

I think a better question is "How Successful Do You Want to Become"?

Working SFI is "Your Business", the same as if you were to have a Gas Station Business around the corner from where you live.

How much time would you put into running your Gas Station in order to be Successful?

The same applies with SFI. This is Your Business.

Gery's "Rules of Success", Rule # 1 "Treat your Business...like a Business!"
https://www.sfimg.com/ROS/ROSBizLikeBiz

How Successful you want to become with SFI, is totally up to you and how much you are willing to Work your SFI Business.

There are no, "How Many Hours do I Need to Work SFI to Become Successful?", there is, "I will Work as Many Hours as it Takes to Become Successful!"

Good Luck!
