Answer
Put a leash on her and give her a firm tug when she tries to jump on people. If she doesn't know sit. teach it to her, and have her sit before greeting anyone. Tell everyone you know NOT to pet her or talk to her unless she is sitting. It'll take some work, with a friend to be the jumpEE while you hold her lead and teach her to sit when someone comes in, but shouldn't take long am staff's are smart dogs if a bit stubborn :)
