They will have a longer row to hoe, but they can also be very successful!! Do not try to deter anyone who wants to join, but has not extra funds available, they could turn into your best TL!!

You need to encourage them to do the beginning steps, reading, etc. Also begin teaching them how to parlay TCredits into MRPs (via auctions/games) into more TCredits into more MRPs, etc. This will help gain Sales and Action VPs.

Also, ensure they understand the value of doing ALL the

I would start off with conversation along the lines of how are they doing with their business?

How much cost: to join? ...for the training? ...membership fees for the "office" or "back office"? ...for required monthly autoship? ...for a web site?

As they answer each question, you can give them the same one word answer: FREE. That ought to get their attention!!

And hopefully, questions! Openings for you to explain about SFI and TripleClicks, ending

Use the same flyers, with or without pulltabs, that you would use any where else. Try putting them in cafeteria areas, library, vestibules of dorms, eating places around the college. Laundry rooms. Every place the students eat, study, play, etc., just like you would for any other group.

The difference is how to play the advertising to this generally younger group. Appeal to the idea of residual income to help with college expenses as well as play money. Expound rather more fully on the

The easiest way would be with the mailers, under the Power Tools tab on Home page. I would recommend using the appropriate mailer for each group rather than the more generic team mailer.

Also would advise individually direct emailing your best Movers, encouraging them in their efforts with congratulation-type messages.

Initially, I would say group mailings no more than twice per week.

Movers, email them on an as-needed basis. If they are doing well, maybe only once

In one word...ADVERTISE!!!

Try some new campaigns with a holiday focus, and freshen up any current campaigns you have running. Focus on items you might like to have yourself. Ads for things you really like may come across to others very well.

Advertise "person-specific" types of products - gifts for Dad, Mom, whomever - from both TripleClicks and ECAs.

And a garage sale in your own T-Connect store of gently used items might fit more budgets than you

I would suggest you let your downlines know you are available to help them whenever they need you!

Hopefully, your initial guidance when they join SFI, or become your CSA, will help them to learn all they can from the available training, and help sources, like Forum, a2a friends, askSC, and yourself.

When they have been here for a while, the active ones will be mostly self-sufficient, with occasional questions for you.

The sleepers may awaken some time in the future,

I have one hour daily and a monthly budget of $50. What activities should I do to grow my SFI business?

I would suggest an SO of at least 100 TCs (1200 SVPs), and another $21US to equal 300 SVPs or more. Or 50 TCs, with some PSAs to Go, or S-Builder Unit. One should try to have at least 1500 SVP Standing Order to guarantee themselves EA2 monthly. Some TCredits are needed to gain the AVP from playing games, bidding auctions daily. These AVPs are also needed if one wants to be a team leader.

During your available hour, clear red tabs, play a game or two (Time Machine, Pick the Price...),

I would recommend contacting them the same way as any of your original CSAs and PSAs.

Begin with the welcome email or e-card, introducing yourself as their new co-sponsor. Advise them of your contact information, let them know you are available to help them any time they need it.

Then continue with regular contacts, as you have been doing all along. Regular, informative contacts will let them know you are from their country, and hopefully good rapport will be established.

Using your own garage sale, you could set up a display in a prominent place with some of the many X-Cards, flyers, make posters with some of the Eager Zebra logos on them with explanations of the games, pictures of Pricebenders auction items (the items themselves you may have won) available to win.

You could use the same methods for neighborhood or church group yard sales, where you would potentially have a much larger moving by.

Using another person's yard sale would be fine

The easiest way would be to start over from scratch.

Obviously, you have been learning more about SFI since you first wrote your letter. Now, by starting over, you can write an even more comprehensive letter than you could have when you were also still new to SFI.

Go from your heart, paint the best word picture you can to show off the best advantages of SFI membership. Try not to overload your new PSA, but don't leave them in the dark, either. Make sure to let them know you
