Hi Mrs. Henney. Yes, using a local telephone directory is also a good method for attracting new PSAs. If I do this, I will select business People around my town. I will first write down and study what I have to say. I will give them short informations and ask them if I can send them more informations using their E-Mails.
Every type of advertising is good if done in a friendly, profesional and respectful manner. Some People will say no and some will be interested to know more so, go ahead, try it out because without trying, you will never know wether it works or not and, don´t forget that whatever is working for some may not work for you and whatever is working for you may not work for others.

i belive that cold calling i an old fasion method.
Here you have flyers, X-cards and broshures, you can give them to people you know or don`t know they won`t be angry about bothering them, if you just give them your business card.
Write down your SFI ID and your phone number and they will have opportunity to call or not.
Everybody likes if they can make decision on their on, you just make sure you don`t forget them and if you see them again give them again your card and so on.

I don't believe "Cold Calling" is a good method for attracting new PSAs these days reason being that there is a great concern and high awareness about the prevalence scammers who retrieve telephone numbers to solicit money from victims by telephone calls informing them of lottery winnings and other so people are afraid and suspicious of any unknown caller. It would be best use your "Warm Market" by calling on friends family and acquaintances, they will be less suspicious and more readily accepting.

Cold calling using the telephone in my opinion is a bad place to start. I would personally discourage my downline to not do this unless they are couching someone they know over the phone.
Not always do you find someone receptive on the other end and this may discourage you into giving up.
I would stick to advertising online, you will get better results on there as people all over the world search daily for opportunities online and you will not have to convince them like you would via telephone.

The best way to find quality people, is to focus your attention on offline prospecting! Purchase a really good network marketing lead list, and call them up. Ask them if they are still looking for a business opportunity. If they are, find out what they are looking for.
This will help you determine who is serious, and guide them to your SFI Gateway. Stay on the phone with them as they sign up. Direct them to the SFI basics tab and tell them to earn at least 500 VP before logging off. With this method, you start everyone off the RIGHT way. Many of them will be serious enough to set up their standing order in the first few days. The point is, you interact and begin forming a relationship with them from day one.

Call stranger to personal number and offer jobs, no, definitely not a good idea. You never know who is on the other side and how they will react when you call. This is harassment, personally I would not feel comfortable to get such a call, and if it happened, however, that someone offered a job over the phone, this procedure would leave me in a very bad impression from the start of the work itself. There are many ways to create a team, it is not necessary to undermine someone's privacy. Our members have themselves of their own volition to access, evaluate and decide yourself.

When thinking "cold calling", few number of determinants should guide.
Unknown Prospects (Most cases)
Cost
Affordability
Ratio of billing to others
Traffic per call is one person at a time, compared to massive internet generated traffics
If just very few PSAs emerge from huge advertisements reaching hundreds, thousands and millions, then, cold calling attracting new PSAs might take some decades to yield.
This is not a good method when better alternatives exist to choose from.

I personally advise you to take a shot from any angel for your business, we all don't know what will work for who and when it will work.
What I know is that we need to invest in our business and if cold calling is a method of investment then who can tell us not to do it?
One thing that you need to consider carefully is the level of safety. Please make sure that you are alert at all times and do not allow the next person to lead you astray. We have a lot of twisted people out there.

"Is cold calling, using a local telephone directory, a good method for attracting new PSAs?"
Personally, I don't think that this is a good idea.
People love their privacy, and don't like to be called by a totally stranger... especially if they're advertising something.
There is a lot of other sponsoring, advertising and marketing methods and tools which are more appropriate.
Online is the way to go nowadays! Im of the older generation and I appreciate the phone more than most. But, that being said, phone calls at any time at home are an interruption, right? You are always doing something at home, even if it's just relaxing.
When you advertise online, the potential customer has an option to click, not forced to interact, like with an old-fashioned phone call.
So, short answer, 'No'.
