I would use the same methods you have been using for other things, just change up your advertising wordage to reflect the Games.

There are sportspeople to be found on Facebook, Twitter, in mechanical parts-houses, shopping centers... Shoppers for all manner of products can include a wealth of sports enthusiasts!! Housewives, business executives, truckdrivers, schoolteachers... sports fans come in all sizes and shapes, and jobs...

Just advertise Uber-Picks games instead of

I think a very good thing to do is bid auctions; when you have bid 10 times, you have earned 1 free spin to Build a PSA. Mostly, it will take 8-10 spins to complete a PSA, but if you are bidding anyway... Might as well go for the extra bonus of gaining more PSAs while you try to win the auction.

You will also gain at least 5 MRPs/bid, and there are many things you can buy in TripleClicks for MRPs, including TCredits!

I wish you well:))...

How important is it that your family embrace your SFI business...and what if they don't?

It would help your focus and concentration if they had a positive attitude about your business, but it is not essential for your success.

Your family's support and acceptance of your business would be a wonderful boost to your morale when you are feeling frustrated or confused, or when you have a "hooray!!" event to share with them, but it is not required. You are the one doing the business, you are the one who has to believe in your ability to succeed.

I suggest learning as much about SFI/TripleClicks as you can, as soon as you can. The more you know about a subject, the easier it is to talk to other people about it, whether face to face or online.

Initially, try doing your local advertising with flyers on bulletin boards, under windshield wipers, any internet cafes in your area, college break rooms, work break rooms, etc. Be sure to invest that $1.95US postage to join W3. When you get set up, you will have some cards for that, too,

Include the information about the NMP in your welcome contacts, and on your leadership page. This way, they will surely hear about it right away.

They have 10 days in which to do the 5 qualifying actions, and the $20 to buy the NMP also gains them more benefits than they would ordinarily have.

I would suggest a stream post twice weekly to include a reminder of the NMP requirements. by doing so two times, you should have all your team seeing NMP information at least three times

I'm an ECA wanting to sell my products internationally. How do I determine how much to charge for shipping to other countries that is fair to both me and my customers?

Oof!! This one is kind of difficult...

These are my thoughts: I would suggest contacting your Post Office, ask them if they have any kind of a chart - or better, a website - where you could seek rates world wide. Also find where you can find a list of no-ship countries, or those with odd restrictions on shippable products.

Try to pick the most common weight range of products - say, up to 10 pounds - then compare freight rates to all kinds of places - bottom half of South America,

Be comfortable with how well you know SFI, trying to anticipate the questions a person might ask after you have presented your information. Have some friends or family ask you whatever questions they can think of, then compose answers. Do research if you need to, so you will have a good, clear answer to give.

Talk to your potential recruit as though you know them well (whether you do or not), be comfortable within yourself, as this will be picked up by them, and will help them relax

Since you mention "open house get-together", I am picturing your warm market.

I would think your friends, family, neighbors would be interested in a barbecue/picnic type of casual affair. I would suggest some light snacks, sodas, before hand, then your presentation, then all can relax, eat, and all can join in discussing what you have presented to them. Be prepared to answer all manner of questions - these are people with whom you are comfortable, and vice-versa, so they will

It might be easier for you to get started recruiting if you stay with your countrymen, but by all means, do not be afraid to recruit from other countries as well!:))

Language and cultural differences can be a little problematical, but trying is the way we learn. I would recommend you start with your country, then others that are nearby, then a little further away, and then... There's the whole world!!:)))

As you successfully recruit, you will become more comfortable with using

I would recommend you begin to teach your spouse about SFI/TripleClicks as soon as you have gotten your business well established.

If your spouse/partner has no interest, look at your children, siblings, cousins.

You might also go to Support's FAQ section, look up the information on willing/transferring your business to another person. You should be able to find out from there what is the best way to handle a transfer.

You are a wise person to be thinking ahead so
