First of all you must understand that there are three requirements to maintain Team Leadership and should not only concentrate on VP but the two other requirement. But since the question is on VP, I will just mention in passing the two other requirements and and answer the question with MINIMUM expenses but maximum impact to your SFI business in mind.
The Three requirements to become a full-pledge (can harvest Matching VP) BTL are:
1. You should be maintaining your Leadership Page - the small colored green icon right after your rank at the upper right corner of your homepage. It should always be gree, if it is red then you are not maintaining it.
2. You must have at least five (5) ratings from your PSA with an average marks of 3 stars. - This implies that you must have at least 5 PSA otherwise who shall give you the ratings? Your PSA must be two months old before they can give ratings.
3. Is the 3000 Qualified VP - NOTE that not all VP you earn will be counted towards your BT Leadership. Your Earned VP should be.
a) 1500VP min - 2000VP max from purchase from Triple Clicks.
b) 1,000 to 1500 from other activities you do.
This is very Important: You have two things to balance to jump-start your success here at SFI. VP and PSA. Whenever you spend money as your investment you should not separate these two. So, with this as your guide here is my suggestion which I am also doing.
1) Buy 1-100TC pack and 1-50TC pack. Total cost is $48.50. This will give you 1200+694 =1894VP and 150TC.
2) Buy 10 PSA (now they have plus 10 promo) total 20 PSA - (this is 100% sure) for 134 TC from one of the ECA's from Triple Clicks. - you don't earn VP because you use TC but its ok. you have enough VP from purchases, anyway. But you ear 25 VP when you submit a review.
3) Bid using your 16TC on 2xMRP items, you have additional 16 VP and 160 MRP.
4) With your 160 MRP, you buy 1-TC worth 122MRP - this will give you 102VP.
5) With your 1 TC bid again on 2xMRP - you have additional 1VP and 10 MRP.
Let me summarize so far what you have:
1.) 20 PSA - this is realy great!!!
2.) VP from purchases you will have 1894+102 = 1996VP - note that you need 1500min/2000max. So are with in the requirements.
3.) VP from other Activities - your target here is 1004VP to complete the 3000.
So far you have:
a.) 17 VP from Bidding, 100 VP from reviews of the four items you bought (100TC, 50TC,1TC and 10+10 PSA.)and 40VP for 20 PSA you enrolled (2VP each). Total 157 VP. You are 854 short of 3000 qualifying VP.
Now you do this.
1. Daily weekly and monthly task = will give 492 VP
2. You help at least four of your PSA to become EA2 then you have 400VP - I want to mark this part to be very necessary. Do not not neglect this because this will make you an authentic Team Leader and also will set you to the road of success here in SFI. Do not be fooled by the idea that you can maintain Team leadership without this. Many will advice you to just purchase anything, that will lead you to spending rather than earning.
In summary this is what you should have after 2 or three months of spending $48.5/month.
1. 30 to 60 PSA. with at least 4 as EA2 at least.
2. 1996VP from your purchases
3. 492VP - from daily,weekly and monthly task.
4. 500VP - from your EA2 and up. - I want to lump the remaining VP here because other sources I mentioned is only earned once. But VP earned from your affiliates turning EA2,BTL,etc. is the MOST STABLE source of additional VP for team leadership. Becuase that is the essence of TEAM LEADER.
