Be patient.  Slowly ask your friends and family about their cell plans and introduce PM.  When a special promotion arrives, then you can be more aggressive at selling PM (especially when there are the $25 referral bonus for both parties promo).  However, make sure that you mention some of the drawbacks of PM (ie. no immediate customer service, etc.).

I have seen some people advertize on kijiji or craiglist.  You can participate in these type of forums and sometimes you will get a unsolicited private message from new customers.  In general, it is not allowed to actively publically advertize your referral code in these forums.  You also can put your phone number to the reddit referral generator list.

Pay attention to people who are complaining about their current provider:

- Is their 2 year contract finished and they are still paying the same $80 monthly fee?
- Anyone you know just get dinged $50 for using just a lil too much data?
- Did their son get charged $1000 for long distance calls to that foreign exchange student in his class?

Also your best bet are people who
- want to save money.
- don't need financing for the latest phone.
- are willing to logon once a month to check and top-up their account.
- are comfortable with online support.

Your friend or family member is still on the fence?
If you have a spare SIM (perhaps on the $10 or $15 plan), they could borrow to try it out.

Find out which ones own their phone or are no longer on a contract. They will be the ones paying too much for their service without any obligations to their provider they will be easier to convince to switch.

Sell sell sell 🙂

Give them your referral code that you can find in the upper right of your self-serve overview page. They need to enter that code when they activate a service.

Some people even give away SIM's.
