When should I start buying PSAs?

My best advice is: - Do it IMMEDIATELY - as soon as you can?

This is the biggest mistake I made when I first joined SFI, over two years ago. I concentrated on developing myself - my knowledge and understanding of SFI.

I was pretty nervous about SFI at first too. Was it for real or just a scam? And I wasn’t prepared to speak about SFI to other people until I had convinced myself that SFI was a genuine business and a GREAT opportunity.

Yes, I bought one unit in S-Builder in my first month in SFI, but it took 7 weeks before I received my first PSA. (I didn’t know that when I ordered S-Builder.)

It’s really important that we learn about SFI and what to do and how we can purchase items from TripleClicks and earn VP etc.

BUT it is EQUALLY important that we develop the marketing side of our business too. AND THE EARLIER THE BETTER!

Search TripleClicks. You will find there many ECAs that offer PSAs.

But don’t limit yourself to “buying PSAs”. Try recruiting PSAs from your warm market, and try to win some in a Pricebenders Auction.

So my advice to you is: - Do it now. And do it every month.

Then work with them. That is very important.

And encourage them to purchase for themselves and sell to others the products and services from TripleClicks as soon as possible – for without sales there will be no profits from which commissions are paid.

When you are convinced that SFI is where you want to invest to build your business then that is the time that you should start building your business. You would not want to disappoint any new affiliates that you their leader quit on them.

I do agree that it would be good to complete your initial training of SFI Basics and the LaunchPad. However, some times you start a project or whatever that peaks your interest and you just know will be good for you. If this is how you feel:

a. Tell friends and family
b. Print flyers and post at libraries, and any public place that allows you to do so.
c. Send ecards to your contacts.

I chose these initial methods that you can perform with basic knowledge of the SFI program.
If any of your new PSAs ask a question that you are not sure how to answer. You are never alone at SFI. You have the assistance of your upline, your Sponsor, your Co-Sponsor, the SFI Forum where experienced affiliates will be happy to help you with any question you may not know how to answer.

Many of us have been here for a longer time, and we still have questions, so you are in good company. Once you are honest with your PSAs to inform them that you will find out the answer yourself and get back to them that is good. Sometimes you can learn faster when you are questioned about anything because you try to learn it so if that question comes up again you will have the answer
.
Do not give up but continue on to success.

Good day Biljana,

I would advise that you start buying PSAs after one month.

Why?

Buying PSAs after a month would give you enough time to study the SFI business. In a month through your upline, you can ask questions as they are always willing to assit you.

Questions that may arise within their 1st month would be
1. How can I make my Standing Orders?
2. What are the ways of earning money without making purchases?
3. What are PSAs and how can I have them.

With SFI, there is a large library were there is a wealth of knowledge that can address certain questions you may have.

Active PSAs you will receive 45% Cv from their purchases, get 100 versa points or more if they are EA and above as well as matching versa points once one is a team leader.

Remember that as an affiliate, we need to know our SFI basis, try and recruit 5 or more active affiliate and convincing them to have a standing order as well as them duplicating your actions to be successful.

As a well tutored sponsor, you will train, teach them on the different ways of recruuting their PSAs and support them so that they become successful.

All the best

I think the following question may help to answer your question - does purchasing PSA members align to what my current goal is?

If the answer is "yes" then begin your purchasing of PSA's immediately.

SFI is a business that is built on team work and so the purchasing or recruitment of PSA's & CSA's is important but it will depend on where your focus is at the moment.

For some purchasing PSA may not occur until some finances are coming in to cover the cost of 1 or more units - this will be dependant on the budget.

For other affiliates, purchasing PSA's may be part of their business objective with SFI so will start to make purchases within their first month working their SFI business.

Ideally, the sooner the better - but each affiliate has circumstances that impact their business development and growth so the answer to this will depend on whether you have finances to start a regular monthly purchase, are ready to lead others to advise them of how SFI can work for them and if your business is ready for making the purchases to buy PSA's.

Another consideration to answer this question is your comfort level at the present time to guide and lead others in your down line.

If your response is positive, then start purchasing your PSA's now.

I would suggest you start buying PSAs as soon as you are comfortable enough with your knowledge of SFI to be able to well support those incoming people! The sooner, the better, but only if you are prepared to do so.

You can bid auctions for PSAs, buy them from several sources (SFI, ECAs...), or buy some S-Builder Coop units as part of your standing order. One unit is $22USD, it will take 4-6 weeks, on average, for them to begin to show up, but thereafter, they will be a steady stream. This will also include a PRM or two during each month. The advantage to using S-Builder is that they come in one or two at a time, a much easier flow to deal with. On average, you will gain 6-8 people/month, steadily, month after month, without expending time and effort to acquire them. S-Builder is a good time-saver for you.

If you want PSAs right now, order some from PSAs to Go. You can order a smaller, more manageable, group to get your feet wet in supporting them while waiting for the S-Builder to start.

I wish you much success with your PSAs:))...

When should I start buying PSAs? I would say the following:

Once you have joined SFI and made the decision to take this business for what it is (A real business opportunity), you must start recruiting immediately, within your first week in SFI.
(Irrespective if you are recruiting friends, or if you buy Affiliates).

I do however recommend that you check out the SFI basics first, complete your “Immediate actions” on your “ TO DO” tab, and also complete the first couple (let us say at least 5) of the Launchpad lessons.

The basics should be clear to you by then.

There is no shame in telling your new Affiliates that you are also new to the business. You will learn and grow with them. If they ask you some questions, do your research, check FORUM, and do whatever it takes….. but always get back to them.

I have learned that my own knowledge became so much more, when my own affiliates was asking me questions….and I did not know the answers….and had to do the research.

You will not go wrong with this technique. If you make a mistake, you will learn from it. If you are successful, you will feel “empowered", and further on will recruit with confidence.

You can start buying PSAs as soon as you are able to give them your support. You do not have to know everything about the business to start teaching others, but you do have to be willing to find the answers to their questions. You can ask your own sponsor, you can search the forum, but make sure to never leave the questions from your PSAs unanswered.

Remember how you felt when you started. Most of us needed some extra guidance at the very beginning. Invest in new PSAs only if you are able to provide that extra guidance for them. Otherwise, this won't turn out to be a very good investment. You have to actively work with your PSAs and teach them Duplication. By being a good leader and providing high quality support- you will greatly benefit from having a team.

Buying PSAs is a good investment if those PSAs are going to be committed whereas it may be bad when the PSAs will just login for a few days and quit forever. As I have been in SFI for a while I discovered that some PSAs will just login for one day when they are registering and after that they will be nowhere to be found. Instead of just opting out they just choose to be silent. It is really frustrating and it needs a longing heart.

When you buy PSAs you are going to benefit a lot if they are active but if they are not active then it will be a loss to you, it is risk-taking but one thing I like about this is that risk-taking is one of the most important characteristic of a successful entrepreneur. If we are not risk-takers we would not have been one of the SFI affiliates. Besides just benefiting in adding the number of your PSAs you are also going to earn VPs which will boost you in qualifying as an EA for that month so whether the PSAs are going to be active or not, you are still going to benefit something.

In conlusion, you can buy PSAs at any time even after registering, all you need is the money to be able to buy them but I recommend you work on having a lot of badges first so that those PSAs which you will get will be confident about you as you will be leading by example. Also make sure you have good communication skills to be able to lead the PSAs you would have bought. A good leader leads by example and communicates with his/her groupmates....co-operate.

Biljana,

I love this question because to me it is representing entrepreneurial spirit and motivation ... both important qualities to success. My personal opinion is to start buying PSAs as soon as you possibly can .... after you have achieved your FAST-TRACK status.

Please allow me to explain the rationale behind my answer:

I have for many years been a preceptor and mentor in my profession by trade. What I have always found is that I am a better nurse and a better leader when I am teaching someone else. It causes me to research best practice, review current policies and be solid in my rationale behind whatever it is that I am doing.

The same holds true for SFI. When I received my first PSA I really stepped it up a notch to learn what I needed to share with my new team. I would research and provide links (and still do, in fact) so that my new PSA would have helpful information to get them started. So because of having new PSAs early on I have learned more quickly then if I was simply taking my time to learn on my own.

If you are truly motivated and have the drive to be successful as an entrepreneur I highly suggest purchasing PSAs as soon as you are financially capable of doing so .... but after you have obtained your FAST-TRACK or EA2 status.

I hope you have found this response helpful.

Be Strong and Keep the Faith! :-)

There is a common sense answer to WHEN you should start buying PSAs--it's when you understand the SFI/TripleClicks Program enough to give correct Guidance to each PSA.

More appropriate would be the question--HOW MANY should I get? And how often. I believe you will feel more comfortable working closely with ONE PSA at a time. If you do this, you can tell them you are new, and give them one or two significant pointers.

What are some of these these significant pointers? Alert them to bad mistakes that most new PSA and CSAs make. Most affiliates choose to use ALL or MOST ALL of their High VP OneTimeOnly choices to reach their 1500 VP EA goal.for FREE!!

They will do all 30 of the LaunchPad Lessons for 450 AVP at one sitting! WRONG! LP Lessons do NOT EXPIRE. Use them ONE Lesson/day for 15 AVP in a month when you NEED AVPs. In month ONE, SVPs count as AVPs. Why use them up before it is absolutely necessary? This applies to all the other OTOs--all of which you will need to use, including LP Lessons, if you MUST reach 1500 EA Rank for FREE!

The odds are extremely high for FAILURE, if you cannot afford an automatic qualifying Standing Order each month for 125 TC. @ $36.25. Consider it like your monthly Rent for your Store or needed equipment which SFI does NOT furnish. Most everything else, YES. You are not spending this TC Money--just exchanging it for dollars and used wisely later. In fact, it may be wise to let the TCs accumulate, for a few months, until you have a 375 TC bankroll. (Very likely that you will choose to use some each month)
Why the PSA ought to do this--Because:

It immediately qualifies each affiliate for the EA1500 rank each monthl This SO also gives them a GOLD FAST TRACK Badge with monthly perks worth several dollars/mo. and increasing their monthly commissions if they do it in their first 10 days (while the Green or Red Airplane appears by their account)

The above action, investment, Bonuses, and Daily ToDos (300AVP--600AVP) will leave very few AVPs needed (if any) to get 3000 VP needed for Bronze Team Leader in Month One. You will have 450 AVP from Launchpad, should have 300 AVP minimum from your Daily ToDo streak, at least 300 AVP from your E365 Bonus for being above the Green Line in the 5th week.
And your multiple monthly-weekly AVPs may leave you enough OTOs for your third month.

This is all you need to know to recruit your new PSAs. Add one PSA purchase per week, getting them to BTL in the same way and you will be receiving 100 VP for each one so duplicated.

Do you see any reason why you should wait to begin using this format and teaching it to your newly purchased or self-found PSAs.?

I hope this helps you see both the how and the when!
