There are two types of people who may not have trust in online business; those already in and those not already in. So it will be necessary to look around yourself and further from yourself when you want to attract ECAs.
They say charity begins at home so look within your downline if you have one because with the benefit of hindsight, I have discovered that some are not aware that they can list their unwanted stuff for cash and also if they have a physical store, they can register as an ECA. I often include these opportunities in my weekly newsletters and I was amazed that a large proportion of them are not aware. As a consequence, I have some as ECA's and more are willing to join.
You may also need to employ some of TripleClicks ECA referral items like envelopes and letter headed sheets to make your promotion more professional, convincing and attractive. Peruse the Yellow Pages or the equivalent for small businesses around your area then contact them either by phone or by post but be knowledgeable about the programme because some will definitely request for more information. Do not ignore the main street in your locality and businesses where you are a customer because they are kind of your warm market too; familiarity if you know what I mean.
At a point you may need to physically visit these targets where it is practicable to do so and remember you have to be professional both in appearance and attitude. Let them know they have nothing to lose if they register their businesses but be frank in your conversation especially in the aspect of the 15% of sales price SFI retains and explain why.
It is not easy though as some prospects may be sceptical or may not have the time to process shipping. This is where you come in; let them know there are other available options for collection eg Will Call option etc. For the sceptics be ready to physically demonstrate the successes of some ECA's e.g testimonials in forum post and others.
Please try as much as possible to approach them when they are less busy and in the mood to grant you attention.
