Hello Biljana,
1.There are two distinct & contradictory time frames as and when to buy PSAs.
a) After settling down for a period of 2-3 months.
b) As soon as possible.
Let us independently discuss each of these aspects.
A) After settling down for a period of 2-3 months.
2. The Initial Stage.
After we join SFI ,we need sometime to get acquainted with its basics, its operations, launch Pad lessons, Rules of Success, Three Golden rules of Duplication,Compensation,Daily to Do tasks etc. This is the initial warming up time, which is actually the period of orientation & coming to know the inside out of SFI to some extent!( that is to know”what is what” &”‘where is what”.) The next step is to carry out the daily to do tasks.
3. If we are sincere & hardworking, we will be collecting the Fast Track badge and attaining the rank of EA-2 in the next couple of months.
4. Second stage:-
This is the consolidation phase where in after the introductory period is over, that we will feel an urge to have our own team to work and support us.In the Second stage when we are entering the consolidation phase, we wish to develop our own team after we have learnt some useful techniques, problems and their solutions.
5. this juncture we will be ready to coach, teach & guide someone else. This is appropriate stage where we can build up put team. We can resort to off line and on line methods to build the team. As a part of off line method which is termed ‘warm marketing’, we can approach our family & inner circle of friends to enroll them.
Whereas in the on line method, we can advertise using the free SFI and TC banners to recruit affiliates. We can also participate in Pricebenders auctions where we can get a few PSAs through ‘Spin & Win” .We can also buy PSAs from ECAs through Triple Clicks.
In long Term, this works out well. I would however prefer to start a S-Builder Co-op
or enroll myself in the existing Co-p of SFI by paying a nominal amount of
$0.22 per day. This ensures a steady inflow of PSAs over a period of time.
We attain 2 CSAs every month once we retain EA-2 rank; this is time when we can go in for PSAs.
6.If we are in a hurry to have a team even while we are in the Affiliate rank, neither do we have knowledge to guide nor sufficient experience to share with them in order to teach, coach and guide them.
B) As soon as possible.
7. Having joined SFI and made the decision to take SFI as a real business opportunity, we must start recruiting immediately, within our first week in SFI. This can be either through ‘warm’ marketing or by purchasing PSAs.However,its recommended that we check out the SFI basics first, completing our “Immediate actions” on “ TO DO” tab and also complete the initial five days of Launch Pad lessons.
8. Bythat time the basics in SFI should be clear to us. We should not be ashamed to inform our new Affiliates that we are also new to the business. We will learn and grow with them. If they ask us some questions, we should carry out our research, check FORUM, and do whatever it takes but always make it a point to get back to them.
9.By this, we become more knowledgeable as a result of our affiliates asking & clearing their doubts. We have no other option to do research and find out the reliable answers to their questions. In one way this process enables us to be always updated on SFI policies & rules!
We will not go wrong with this technique. If we make a mistake, we will learn from it. Once we are successful, we will feel “empowered" and will venture out to recruit with more confidence.
10. Having illustrated the possible alternatives mentioned above to choose the stage & time to purchase PSAS, I would adopt this policy as illustrated below:-
i) Once my current goal requires to purchase PSAs,I would go for it! Since SFI is a business purely built on team work, therefore the purchasing or recruitment of PSA's is important but it will also depend on where my focus is at the moment.
ii) Once I start earning through SFI and I have sufficient budget, I would purchase these PSAs.
iii) I would also confirm the readiness of my business before venturing out to buy affiliates, which can impact the growth of my business.
iv) On the contrary, if I have sufficient active PSAs who have been recruited personally thru warm marketing, may not even think of buying these PSAs as my business is running smoothly with sufficient monthly income
11. Finally to summarize, the right time for purchase of PSAs is left to an individual, his state of business and his goals; his comfort level at the present time to guide and lead others in his down line.
Wish you great success !
