When I have a new PSA who shows real interest in succeeding I do two things:
I offer to buy them a New Member Pack if they earn 1500 VP in less than 30 days. The 10 days allotted plus the 20 day extension. This provides motivation.
I share with them that everyone I know who has been successful in SFI has bought a Standing Order. This is much more strategic than buying a New Member Pack. This will help them qualify as an EA2 and maintain that status.
