In my opinion ALL marketing methods for attracting new PSAs are good.
Also there are many companies who attracting customers by telephone calls and not sure how it can be effective, because this is old method, often annoying people and it can be counter productive and without effect...
However, after telephone call, surely you must send email to this person and promo material to be effective method.
So, my conclusion is: only telephone call isn´t good method, only in combination with

The biggest problem I have with cold calling on the phone is that most people know that all of the telemarketers are promoting scams. If you use that method to promote SFI, then more and more people will think that SFI is a scam. So, please don't pollute the pool of available leads, ruining it for the rest of us. Thanks

Hi.. Adjoua,

Even thOugh i'm not good in sales and talk but i will stay say yes... cold calling is a good way to promote your sales and if you know how to put in words its an advantage too. Its more convenience i would say. You can explain and brief them clearly and more open too. Whatever ways that can promote sales and bring more members in... its definitely best to give it a try. No harm in trying right to get the outcome results. You wont know if you dont put it on trial. All the

Hi.

In my opinion it is advisable. Actually it's an Promotional activity of the business. It may physical or on-line. In traditional business we see telemarketing. Like wise we can also implement it here also. But it is vague idea of using telephone directory. It's some what difficult to convince the person over a phone.

Instead of that it's better to use social media for attracting new PSAs. In future we can see occupying the total market online business only in the place

Hi Adjoua,

It's not so popular, because You'll spend a lot of time and money on speaking every time from the start to people You don't know and don't know You. As well, any time You're asking someone to start spending money somewhere it's not so popular. High chances are that they will neglect it.

This kind of advertising is really good only with people who trust You, such as Your real friends, family and cooperqtors from other companies.

Using a local telephone directory is not a good method if that specific market is overload already with advertising in same way. If that same people receive everyday or every second day phone calls from other sellers an marketers, they had enough of same offers and they don't want to hear anyone more. If situation is different, you can try.

The idea is great if you are interested in selling or presentation of the product, and if you want to help these people become members of the team by calling them wasting their precious time and making a huge phone bills, a lot of stupid people harass, separate the day after just 10 minutes each and you need much more, I think
it is still much simpler to use social networks because in a single click can read your publication tens of thousands of people

Hi,

might be a good idea to call people on the phone, but you have to be careful not to be mistaken for touts lowest division, the fact personesono course be very suspicious when they receive a phone call from a stranger, the only way not to be mistaken for these people are trying to invite potential PSAs to connect to the Internet and let them see the pages of the gateway SFI, if you succeed in this maneuver you can have good results.

Hello and good day.

Hello! Good question, you can ask whether the phone to call and enroll members, as far as I know it can not be on the phone call to enroll someone, but you have other methods with which to attract members ... eg X-Card, ECA Postcards to attract members to open their ECA or if you have your own ECA to buy something, a phone or other applications such as Viber, wathsapp skype you can use after you enroll members and thus help .nadam that I helped you at least a little

My answer to the question is yes and no 50:50'. So where as some people will be motivated via such calls, others will look at such calls as disturbing, most especially if the person is not well known to you and vice-versa. Again if someone is not disposed or in a mood to receive calls he might resent such calls and take it as nuisance. So, let me give it 50:50. Some might take it, others will not.

You can succeed using such cold calling to applicants in search of jobs who are likely to
