Hi, Boza! Thanks for asking! I must admit that this is a question I’ve been asking myself ever since I joined SFI.
We’re all concerned about recruiting PSAs, that’s of crucial importance in this business. If you don’t succeed in building your team, the chances for overall success are very small. So, first of all, while you’re still deciding which option is better, please don’t waste your time on thinking and advertise, the way you can and wherever you can. Every single ad is a potential PSA!
I’ve heard people saying that PSAs you recruit yourself work better than those bought at an auction, for example. I’ve come to conclusion that they’re wrong. It seems to me that you don’t know what you’ll get either way. Both might turn up to be hard workers, or they might not. There’s no guarantee. I chose to use all available means of attracting new affiliates, including:
1. Facebook ads
2. free classifieds
3. paid advertising
4. buying them at auctions
5. warm marketing
6. spreading the word about the program whenever and wherever I get the chance
Unfortunately, I haven’t distributed any fliers yet, because the ones provided by SFI are in English and I live in a non-English speaking country. But if you live in an English-speaking country, you should do that as well. There are also many other marketing tools and aids in SFI marketing section, use them all.
The point is, only a very small percentage of PSAs stay and are willing to work hard. Maybe you’ll need to recruit hundreds before you find 2-3 quality PSAs, and that’s when your business will start blooming. That won’t happen overnight, maybe even a couple of months will go by, but they will come, sooner or later.
Until that time, I say practice both advertising and bidding for them, plus all the other means. There’s no such thing as too many PSAs. The more there are, the bigger are the chances to find those 2-3 hard workers.
And, regardless of how you get them, remember that you play a very important role in keeping them. Develop your strategies, prepare your instructions for getting started and have them ready at hand for potential PSAs, follow their progress daily, communicate with them as much as THEY feel comfortable with it, share your tips and ideas, show your willingness to help them and never, ever advise them to do something you yourself wouldn’t do. People can sense it when you’re being honest and respectful, and they will respond likewise.
I hope this has been helpful. I’m sure some fine PSAs will come by, as I’m sure that this company is doing a great job, improving and expanding every day.
See you at the top!
