IN a way it is easier to recruit people from your own surroundings and in your own language but I would recommend being open to the whole world. To me it is not the least important where my team comes from as communication goes mostly via Internet. However I am using my country connections in another way.
-I have gone to the local job center and recruited prospects there. Most of those coming there are immigrants or other people looking for a job. Many are also interested in any other way of making money. The trouble there is often that they do not speak English, and while the Translate button on the SFI website helps I feel it is a hinder. Anyway that is one way in which you can approach your local market.
-I have also put up SFI flyers at the local supermarket's bulletin board, as a matter of fact on any bulletin board where it is allowed.
- I hand out Gift Cards to my warm market (colleagues, friends, family) and give them a link that is appropriate (ECA, Join my Team, TC, Pricebenders or Eager Zebra). I also tell them enthusiastically about SFI and how it could help them further.
- If there is any job fair or other meeting that is appropriate I go there and hand out flyers and try to find prospects.
- I noticed there are very few ECAs from my own country. Yet there are many small businesses in my country. Via the small business ads I contact them personally in our own language and invite them to become ECAs. It takes a lot of time, but I hope it will be rewarding. If they contact me I send them a Gift Card. This earns me 10 VP and has the added advantage that if they become an approved ECA I will earn 100 VP + direct commissions.
- I have thought of going to the two local casinos I know and handing out PriceBenders and Eager Zebra cards but I have not come around to doing that yet.
I guess that you must do what you feel most comfortable with, as then you have the greatest chance of success. I hope this gives you some useful ideas.
