Great question and a very instrumental one for your success, if carried out with careful precision.
??First. I will assume you are referring to the 125 TCredits standing order.
??This is without a doubt the most effective standing order available.
??It opens doors to many other possibilities that would be closed otherwise. This is capital worth investing monthly.
By setting up this SO monthly, at the beginning of the month, you immediately get 1500 sales VP. That, at day one of every month, gives you EA2. However, what is key and vital about this standing order is it is just the first step in many to reach team leader utilizing nothing more than your SO purchase if all prevails but at the very most you might incur a cost of few dollars if that.
Here is why. You earn 1500 sales VP with your SO. Your goal is set for Bronze Team Leader. That requires 3000 VP of which 2000 can be sales VP and the other 1000 has to be action VP or VP from items on your to do list. Before I get into how to best use the 125 TCredit, one has to first understand what options they have to earn action VP.
To be successful at implementing mission "SO 125 Bronze Team Leader"', you have to max out the following action VP. You accomplish this by doing the following:
??Login daily and perform the 11 daily todos. 11x30=330
??Perform you weekly to do actions. 38x4=152
??Perform monthly to do actions. 15 + 100 standing order = 115 VP
??Add these items up. 330+152+115=597.
??You now have 1500 sales VP and 597 action VP for 2007 VP.
??You only need 993 VP of which 500 can be sales and you have not touched the 125 Tcredits yet.
Here comes the fun part. First, we can all use good luck and extra credit action VP. To earn that, at no cost, be sure to do 30 askSC questions each day prior to entering daily grand so you get 5 entries daily to win. Your chances of winning 200VP or more likely 50 VP award is high at least one day that month. Always enter t-time to win Tcredits as tcredits earns you VP too as you will see shortly.
So, now, how you can use the 125 TCredits to earn the 993 action VP.
First, you need to research how to successfully win at the price bender auctions. I will not explain here how as that can be researched separately but be sure to know the technique when to enter to win with best odds of success. You want to only enter double MRP auctions. Do not bid on anything but this as you earn 10 MRP per bid which is key to this plan.
Find and enter 300 TCredit auctions with DP only and start bidding. These auctions are easy to win if you enter at the right times and follow the guidelines to winning auctions. When you win, this is the only cost you incur if you win this auction but the cost will be minimal if done correctly. Meaning less than $5 and as low as $.10. Daily, the 300 TCredit auctions with DP are won at low cost.
Forget the cost at this time. Enter and bid till you either spend all Tcredits or win.
If you spend all and don't win you have 403 -125 action VP left to earn or 278 action VP left and 500 sales VP or 778 VP left to earn. Now with the 125 TCredit bids you have earned double MRP of 1250.
1250 MRP can be exchanged for VP by purchasing more Tcredits using the MRP earned as payment. Conversion is 1250/126=9.92. You want 1260 MRP. That means you need one TCredit more. If you don't have one or given one you can win it easily through the month in many of ways I won't get into. Bid the extra TCredit so you have have 1260/126 so you can purchase 10 Tcredits.
Now you have 777 VP left to earn. Go buy 5 quantity of the 1 TCredit using your 1260 VP to pay. You will receive 102 sales VP for every TCredit for 510 VP. This is the the extra 500 sales VP allowed to apply to bronze team leader for the 2000 Max. Subtract that from 777 and you need only 277 action VP. This should have not cost you anything further. In order to earn this 277 if you do not win any auction or any daily grand, asksc questions, etc you can do so buy doing the following:
??Purchase one set of 30 gift cards.
This allows you to give them out by month end and you earn 10 action VP per card. Give out 27 and you now have hit 3000 VP plus. The other option is to use the 125 Tcredits and soley focus on winning a double MRP gift card auction. Then you only pay for the auction price instead of regular and get the action VP and the MRP still . Your cost is less than $10.
This is what should occur if you do all the research on winning the 300 TCredit action though. By winning a 300 TCredit auction which is easy if done correctly. You have 300 additional credits to bid and all 300 are are added to your action total. Assuming you bid all 425 you have :
??1500 sales
??425 + 597 action or 1022 action for 2522 total.
All that is left is 478 sales VP. This is a cinch by converting your 4250 MRP to VP or 4250/126 giving you 33 Tcredits. You only need to purchase 5 to give you 510 sales VP. The rest save for next month.
As you can see, the only cost would be the auction win which can be very little if bid at the proper time using proper tips to win.
Most likely, throughout the course of month, you will or can earn action VP through asksc questions or incentives or daily grand or even w3. This plan assumes you don't get anything from that and use only the so TCredit. You can only drive you cost down by doing all added tasks to get the highest chance of winning action VP.
Option a or b still only adds little cost if any to attain team leader.
Hopefully, this was useful on how one can effectively make use of 125 TCredit standing order.
Good luck.
