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 TC products, simply put:)

Wish you the best:))...

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:))...

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.

If your family supports you, I say you are fortunate! Thank them from time to time for their belief that you can succeed, even though it will not be overnight.

If they do not support/approve...well, it just adds a little stress and frustration, maybe hurt feelings. You just have to let the negatives go, concentrate on staying positive and focused on growing your business. Mayhaps one of your friends will believe in you and SFI, and you can share the hoorays as well as the disappointments with them without worrying about someone's negative response.

Believe in yourself and SFI, stay positive, continue to push onward and upward!:))...

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, which you can hand out to those who inquire as to what it is.

Once you have gotten a few PSAs, you will have become more comfortable with talking to people, maybe face to face will become easier for you, maybe not. Don't fret over it, just do your best with alternate methods, they can also be very successful!!:))...

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 within their first 10 days (welcome, leadership page, stream), so they will have reminders without trying to twist their arms.

Hope these suggestions help:))...

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, pick an average cost; top half, same; Mexico, Central America, India, Phillipines, Europe, Great Britain....

Try to calculate an estimated price for each region from all your choices, then calculate the AVERAGE rate for all.

Now you need to decide if you ship free (you pay), or customer does.

On all your products, list "no shipping fees", or list your flat rate shipping charge to all points.

If the average price is high, I would recommend you split the shipping charges, both parties paying half. In this way, all customers pay half, and overall, hopefully, you will end up breaking close to even on the freight. Monitor the charges for a while, see how it goes, then you may need to raise the freight a little if you are paying more than half overall.

I'm not sure how much of a task this would be, but best I can think of for now.

Hope the thoughts are helpful:))...

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 as well, so they will hear better what you have to say.

Be calm, a little funny now and then can be very productive for atmosphere, look into their eyes frequently, present a relaxed aura.

Be prompt with your answers to their questions, and answer with the same degree of intensity/seriousness as their tone presents. NEVER be rude or condescending in your words or attitude, just stay calm and focused on them and their questions. If they do come up with a question you cannot answer, tell them truthfully that you do not know, but you will find out. BE SURE to follow up by contacting them with the answer sooner, rather than later!

Treat them as you would like to be treated if your roles were reversed!

Best wishes to you in your team-building:))...

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 not be afraid to ask whatever pops into their minds, as a stranger might be.

Your computer should be available for showing SFI/TripleClicks to them, the auctions, games, ECA products as well as TripleClick's products. Present them the option of affiliate as well as PRM, fully explaining both.

Have some marketing flyers available, as well as any items you might have won in auctions, or purchased outright for yourself -- things they can see and touch will reach more chords than just pictures.

Presenting to your warm market first will help prepare you for a cold market presentation some other time and location.

I hope this helps provide some ideas:))...

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 the translator button on SFI pages, and could end up with many countries represented in your team. While the translator may not always be exactly what the person intended to say, you can always ask them if they meant to say "this" instead of "that". Both will learn this way.

Go, recruit from anywhere, and learn from these new friends about other parts of our world!

I wish you much success:))...

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 your family will be taken care of with a smooth transition.
