If you don’t have one EA2 in your Gen 1, even if you earn the required 3,000 VP, you cannot be a BTL. This new added qualification will take effect on January 2016. So I suggest that you focus on sponsoring affiliates. Promote and advertise your SFI gateways to flow PSAs into your downline. Then teach them how to earn 1,500 VP to become EA and stay EA each month.
