POSTHARVEST HANDLING OF HERBS

v Upon arrival from the field, temperatures are taken (should b be 20-25^◦C); the products are stored in the cold room overnight to remove field heat which increases water loss through evapotranspiration  hence wilting

v Chives, coriander, dill, parsley, mint, oregano, thyme and rosemary is stored at 3-6˚C while basil is stored at 10-13^◦C because it experiences chilling injury under too cold temperature  

v Grading:- yellowing on leaves, tip burns, material affected by pests and diseases, and undergrads are removed;

v The materials are then bunched in varying weights of 50g, 60g,75g, 80g, or 100g depending on customer specification

v They are then put in a perforated blue polythene paper with a soft paper at the bottom to absorb moisture hence preventing rotting. The perforation allows for gaseous exchange and prevent ethylene build-up which causes deterioration hence short shelf life

v Another soft paper in then placed at the top of the perforated polythene to absorb moisture hence preventing moist conditions which causes blackening and rotting at the stem base

v  They are then packaged in perforated 1kg carton then transferred to the cold room for pre-cooling

v Pre-cooled at 4-6˚C except for basil which is pre-cooled at 10-14˚C due to its sensitivity to cold temperatures which causes chilling injury

v The products are transported in insulated trucks at 4-6˚C to avoid loss of water through evapotranspiration and also prevent ethylene build-up which causes deterioration in quality

What are some ways I can engage with my team through my Stream messages?

Stream Posts is a powerful tool for communicating with your team members. Here are some ways to engage with your team through Stream Posts effectively: 

- You can keep your message simple, but deep in meaning. 

Communicate to them your strategy briefly. By doing this, you’re going to establish your strategy’s relevance with your team in a way that makes them care more about their development and growth in SFI. It should be at the core of all of your communications, a simple and inspiring message that is easy to relate to and understand. Strategy-specific messages linked to common purpose become tools to help your team members connect their day-to-day efforts. 

- Not all messages are created equal. They need to be prioritized and sequenced based on their purpose. Think of the upcoming changes in 2016 the new Team Leader qualification added; you can re-emphasize this to your team with your post briefly and provide a short description of measures you’re going to take. This may spark their interest and would likely ask you for more. You can then expand on this topic on your weekly support message. Consider using a Share/Reinforce/Inspire framework when delivering your messages weekly, monthly and annually. 

- Share important information to your team. 

You can post important links resources that relate to marketing SFI such as live networking events, chambers of commerce sites, etc. You can even post threads links from the Forum that could help them in their training and support. 

- Inspire your team. 

Send inspiring messages to your team with their accomplishments. Whether you’re looking to build optimism, change focus, instill curiosity, or prepare them for future decisions, you’ll have more impact if you stir some emotion and create a lasting memory. 

- Reinforce. 

Most often you’ll have to repeat the message in order to increase understanding instill belief and lead to true change overtime. You might have developed an excellent strategy in marketing your SFI business but if it’s not communicated effectively, it is good for nothing. Write a few catchy words about it on the Stream Posts and direct them to your Leadership page for more. 
These reinforcing messages need to come in a variety of tactics to be more effective. Ultimately, they serve to immerse your team in important content and give them the knowledge to confidently connect to your strategy. 

- Recognize individuals in your team who consistently contribute growth to your organization such as sponsoring new affiliates every month, maintaining EA status, moving up to the next rank, etc. 

promoting business during the big holidays and Christmas seasons

Have a look at your 'gift list,' family members, friends, work colleagues, sports and classmates, contacts - all the people that you know. 

Ask yourself - Taking into account their family situations, sporting activities, etc, - what would they like to receive or give away as gifts? 

Having identified what they are likely to be interested in as gifts, go to the site  and search for those items. 

Send messages to them suggesting that they have a look at your site  highlighting the products they are likely to be interested in. To help them and to encourage them to go to your site, I would also give them a Gift Card each. 

Do not spam. This is targeted advertising and we are only talking about contacting those people we know well. 

As for all the other people in the whole wide world, now that you have done your research regarding likely items that people might want as gifts during this season, promote those items as widely and as often as possible. 

The other point to remember is that at this time of the year, a lot of businesses are arranging ‘end of year’ functions for their staff. Most businesses give their staff some small gifts as tokens of appreciation for their work during the year. I would suggest that you identify likely suitable gifts and approach those arranging the functions. You never know, you may get a large order of small items with small commissions but they all add up. If you do really well, they might do the same thing next year or throughout the year.

how to communicate with your down line in affiliate business

The best way to communicate with your downline is whatever works for you. There are numerous ways that SFI has built into the system. You could do the following. 

1. Send an email to your affiliate when you want to communicate directly with just that affiliate. However, you can do that using the Communications Manager built into SFI. 

2. Send eCards to your affiliates when you want to communicate with one and congratulate him/her on reaching a goal or perhaps to wish the affiliate a happy birthday or send some other message. 

3. Use the messaging feature available on every page and also available in the Affiliate Snapshot and Movers and Genealogy. That is also good for individual affiliates. 

4. Use the Genealogy Team Mail to send out messages to all your team or to whichever combinations of groups you would like. 

5. Send messages in the Stream to all your affiliates. 

6. Communicate through the Forum. 

You could telephone affiliates in your area that you sponsor. I wouldn't do that in the case of affiliates in very long distances where cost is very high. 

My own preference is to contact affiliates through the PSA Mailer, the CSA Mailer and the Communications Manager at the SFI Affiliate Center or the Stream. That way, if something goes wrong with the affiliate's email address, you can still contact him/her. That is why these tools are provided. This should be very helpful to you. 

how to recruit affiliate face to face ie offline

www.facebook.com/freemorio

Face to face recruitment of affiliates is one of the most effective and powerful method of recruitment. 

For doing such type of recruitment you can focus on the following: 

1. Awareness Camps: Most of the community centers; commerce department of government; colleges or event managers’ organizers hold such type of camps to make people aware of various ways to set up livelihood for youngsters, unemployed and for those who look forward to set up their own business. You can own a cubicle to dissipate information about affiliate business and lead to have direct recruitment of affiliates. 

2. Job Exhibitions or Job Fairs: Here companies make aware about the availability and benefit pertaining to the job in the job market. This is again a place to target for as you get the right prospects to talk to and impress them to convert into affiliates. 

3. Open House get-together: You can target your warm market here which would include family, friends, relatives and neighbors. 

4. Seminars: You can choose a location and advertise about the seminar that you would conduct to address to maximum people at one go. This in turn can lead you to face to face closure of recruitment of affiliates. 

5. Community centers: You can organize a campaign to spread the advantages of second source of income that can also be willed to the people to create an effect that leads to people contacting you. Subsequently this would lead to face to face affiliate recruitment. 

Apart from all these listed options you can find your ways on the basis of the following: 

1. You should get the right segment of people and your address should direct to their needs and ease of doing your business . 
2. Your preparedness to address to the concerns of your prospects impromptu. 
3. Ease of addressing in context to using a common language that people in the place would understand. 

With all this you are there to have a start that can take you to a different level all together. 
Remember to use  stationery, apparels, and lapel pins etc to showcase that you are proud to patronize  and look professional. You can also distribute X Cards, Gift cards through some contests and flyers with your contact details as some may contact you later. 

If you do it right, result would be right.
