What happens at the Our Company Sponsored meetings?
10.28.04 (5:50 am)   [edit]

I'm passing on these notes taken by Gail Bryant at a company Sponsored meeting in Rockford, IL.
By the way their meetings like this one happening all over the US on a regular basis. Go to http://www.shaklee.net/public/meetings" title="http://www.shaklee.net/public/meetings" target="_blank"http://www.shaklee.net/public...  to see logistics.

This meeting was hosted by Al Hegerman a long time Shaklee Distributor that has worked his way up to the top of Shaklee.... (Lifetime Master Coordinator)


Al has been in Shakle* 41 years.


 


Roger Barnett story:


            Madeline Trottier sent Roger an e-mail in French; he responded in fluent French.


Roger bought the company for $310 million. If they are deserving, he wants to pass it onto his children, Spencer and Violet. We can be part of what he is building, so we’ll say:


I am glad I did, rather than I wish I had.


 


Once, you have built a down line organization, you never have to retire.


 


Roger Barnett story:


            Roger and Sloane’s wedding anniversary is the same date as Al & Carol Hegerman’s, the day after the company Revolution tour in San Diego, June ??, 2004. At the San Diego tour, Al waited in line to say hi to Roger and during the small talk, Al told Roger that they had the same wedding anniversary. Roger asked how they celebrated their wedding anniversary and Al said they had lunch at the same restaurant every year in Coronado. The next day, after their anniversary lunch, the waiter came up and said their meal had already been paid for by Roger.


 


Al showed the charts, they had used at the MN state fair in August:



  1. “Our Company Under New Management”

  2. “A Multi Billionaire Bought Crown Jewel of Network Marketing Industry.”

5 years and $20 million invested to find company where they wanted to put their money … to find MLM, then another 3 to find our company. (Check to see if this is correct.)


 


            Our company has The Best Products


                                  The Best Sales Plan


                        And is The Best Company.


 



  1. “Entrepreneurs wanted”
    Al showed his earnings over the last 41 years.

Everyone gets paid when they work; it is how much you make while you are not working, while you are sleeping, etc.


 


We are in the money making business.


 


Chuck Healy use to say that you need to see 1099’s, not monthly bonus checks, because any one month during a year can be manipulated. Al showed in 2003 1099 which was $1,343,709.27


 


Japan put $750 million into our company and they told Bill Williams that they wanted to start seeing a 10% return each year. Bill had 3 years to achieve that, so he had to let people go, raise S+H costs to field, close facilities (like Bedford), etc.


 


Al told his story and showed newspaper article about he and Joan; 10-26-63, “$4 inventory grew into $100,000 sales a month”


 


Recruit


Train


Motivate


 


November 1962           2 bottles of Basic H (Joan bought and they moved to MN)


March 1963                 1 case of Basic H


April 1963                    3 cases of Basic H


 


How they made Director


            Al and Joan sponsored in May 1963 and had 3 customers


                                    11 additional customers in June


                                    14 customers they had personally


                                   11 others whom the 14 had introduced to Basic H


                                     25 sponsored by the end of June


 


$3688 of All Purpost H was purchased in June 1963 and they became the 1st Supervisors east of the Rocky Mountains


 “But Friends, we SOLD the product.”


Let’s get some customers; there is nothing wrong with being a sales person.


 


Who were their initial members?


            May:    Coffee shop acquaintance


                  Joan’s brother, Tom Fowler who is a master coordinator today


                        Joan’s nurse


            June:     Landlord


                        Neighborhood friend


                        3 friends from church, one was Bruce and Elaine Manis

                        Police partner


                        Exercycle salesman


                        Tupperware sales lady


                Shop keeper on Al’s beat where he bought Dr. Pepper each day


 


Al was told:


No door to door


No party plan


No retail store sales


No advertising.


 


Al had sold Electrolux vacuum cleaners for 7 years and never wanted to go door to door again.

1.         THE SHAKLEE DRILL (taught by Forrest, Jr.)


            List your friends


            Visit them


            Sell them Basic H (or whatever)


            Then become their sponsor


 


2.         The SPOM meeting


            Company


            Products


            Sales Plan


            Success Stories


 


Al spoke at 4 meetings a week, 50 weeks a year, for 8 consecutive years, traveling coast to coast, border to border. That commitment built what they enjoy today. Yes, it was work. Yes, he missed a lot of his children’s events. But to build something BIG, it took effort. If you don’t want to give up anything, you can still have a Shaklee business, but it won’t be a BIG Shaklee business.


 


The Hegerman 15 first level Directors:


            Friends / Neighbors                 


            Relatives                                    1 (Tom Reynolds)


            Church Friends             2

            By others who didn’t quality as Directors          4


            Rolled up                                                            2


First Director was their Landlord …. Al told his story


            Sold product, called back, followed up.


 


How we became the 1st Lifetime Master Coordinators:


            We never stopped recruiting.


  We had a 32% member loss in 1982. Al listed the members lost each year.


 


Ed Thayer, State Farm Agent, told Al that he had


            2500 cars insured


            275 policies lapsed every year, 11%


         Ed had to write 275 new applications every year, just to stay even.


 


Hegerman Distributors, Inc.


            441 distributors


            140 became inactive, 31%


They had to sponsor 140 new distributors every year just to stay even (12 per month)


 


            HAVE TO BRING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE BUSINESS!!


 


Some Shaklee Philosophy:


From Dr. Shaklee:


Ø      You’re dumb. Stay that way and you will never get hurt. (When Al said he didn’t know much about nutrition.)


Ø      You have to sell yourself on food supplements.


Ø      The products will sell themselves, but they won’t walk across the street and introduce themselves to your friends and neighbors.


From Forrest, Jr.:


Ø      The sales plan is all the incentive anyone needs.


Ø      Don’t quit your job too soon. Make sure your inventory is paid for; your office equipment is paid for; you have 6 months income in the bank; and you are earning the same or more than your present job.


Ø      If you can’t motivate yourself, get out of selling.


From Lee:


Ø      There is only 1 story to tell, but a million ways to tell it.


Ø      In many sales plans, a person can do too good of a job. (not sure what he meant)


Ø      The Director is the top person on the totem pole. The whole program is packed at that level.


 


 


How to Recruit:


            Never qualify anybody


 


Recruiting is like throwing mud against the wall. Most of it falls off, but whatever sticks, you work with.


 


            There are 3 types of people:


1.      People you Know


2.      People they Know


3.      Cold contacts


 








 


The Shaklee Drill


            List Your Friends


            Visit Them


            Sell them Basic H (or whatever)


            Then become their sponsor


 


The Weekly SPOM Meeting


            Company


            Products


            Sales Plan


            Success Stories



Some Recruiting Philosophy


            Look the part


            Never cash your bonus check for at least a month (Al had $99,000 check in his pocket)


            Never make a sales call without taking a new person with you


            7 to 11 pm are the Golden Hours


            Only talk about Shaklee with people who are interested


            Recruiting distributors is like mining gold; you will go through a lot of gravel to get a gold nugget … and never go through the same pile twice.


            Maybe they aren’t ready for the business yet; everybody can be sold, but you can’t sell everybody. Don’t get discouraged; remember you are throwing mud against the wall and only some of it will stick.


            The Barbara Jacques story:


                        1st director in England; Al and Joan went to England to recruit and train when Shaklee opened in the UK. Barbara had a 4th grade education; her husband, Brian, had only read one book in his entire life. When Shaklee closed their doors in the UK, another company purchased some of the rights to the products, so Barbara and Brian switched to that multi level company. They are now ga-zillion-aires (didn’t write down the number). Barbara’s statement as to their success: You Must Pay the Price. She drove an hour to deliver one product in the rain and the person did very little, but one person was sponsored who did very little; that person sponsored one who has built the largest organization under the Jacques.


 


How to Train:


            Roger Barnett’s 3 minute opportunity call


            Shaklee web site and presentation


            Our own web sites


            Shaklee’s videos and DVDs


           


            If you have the right person, no matter how poor the training program, he will not fail; and conversely, if you have the wrong guy, no training program will make him successful.


           


            Teach Others to Teach Others to Teach Others. Al works with his first levels and expects them to train their first levels, etc.


 


            Al and Joan’s first 13 years (June ’63 to Sept. ’76 - England):  sponsored 248 people


32                1st levels


100            2nd levels


175            3rd levels


307            Total on recap


 


SPOM meetings


            Same night, same time, same place


          Training is simply using the products and talking about the products


            Give same sales plan presentation each week


                        New people haven’t seen it


                        Others are being trained each week


            Don’t let anyone talk at your meeting unless they have done something in our business


            Meetings should provide 90% inspiration and 10% information


 


Work with the Strong, they are the ones who


            Buy Products


            Attend Meetings


            Sponsor Others


 


Know the numbers


          Only 10% of the people are interested in developing a MLM business


            Statistics tell us that


                        1/3rd of the people are coming


                        1/3rd of the people are staying


                        1/3rd of the people are going


            Only 1-2% of the people sponsored will become directors


            Only 10% of our distributors ever attend a meeting


            Only 1% of Al’s income comes from his personal group; 99% comes from leadership


                        Bonuses


            You only need a few gold nuggets to make you rich.


             August 2004 – Hegerman’s made $57,000 on Shaw’s downline sale


                        leaders and $800 on Shaw’s PV of 12,000


 


How to Motivate:


       The VERY BEST is to do a good presentation of the Shaklee sales plan


            The sales plan is your road map.


There are 2 ways to make money:


1.      Have money working for you.


2.      You working for money.


Since starting in Shaklee, Al has had the following goals:


            Sponsor TWO per week.


            Average 10,000 PV per month.


 


Why go to meetings?


            Al did the following


            3 meetings per week


            150 meetings per year


            4500 meetings in 30 year period


 


      He was paid $2098 per meeting = he earned $9,441,000 over 30 years.


 


Magic of written goals; he quoted the Harvard study of 3% with written goals achieving more than the other 97% combined.


 


What you think about most of the time, you will become. Greatest discovery of the 20th century.


 


Rules of Success:


1.      Sell Something


Selling is among the highest paid professions in the world; get good at it.


2.      Always work on straight commission; you will get paid for what you


do, not what someone thinks you are worth.


3.      Get involved in sales organization work. What you can earn as an


individual is limited; what you can earn with an organization is


unlimited.


4.      Don’t do anything that you can pay someone else to do for you.


Salesmen don’t shine their own shoes.


5.      Never put on a meeting without showing the Sales Plan.


6.      If you want to motivate people, talk the BIG money.


 


The THREE best ways to build a Shaklee business: 1. recruit 2. recruit 3. recruit


 


In Orange County, CA, there is a competitive company that has a weekly meeting with 500-1000 in attendance. They do two things: Show the Sales Plan and Talk about Lots of Money.


 

 
PREVENTING BREAST CANCER
10.27.04 (7:42 am)   [edit]

Hey... today I wanted to pass on some wonderful
information presented  on Oprah Winfrey show. Her guest was Dr. Bob Arnot, you may be familiar he is a regular on CBS Evening News.

October is National Breast Cancer Week, he has written a book on how our diet can prevent and cure breast cancer.

I'm sure there will be a transcript available on the Oprah website but I would like to pass on some of what he recommended.

He said young women of child bearing age increase their risk by 238% by eating too much high glucose foods such white bagels, white bread, white pasta, white potatoes. We need to be eating more soy based foods and flax seed foods. He said soy has drug like properties called genestine that block cancer receptors.

Many documented studies have proven this and are being used
with women who have breast cancer and are actually decreasing the cancer cells with this diet.

Recommendations included:
Soy Protein drink, any soy products, 35G per day.
Soy nuts, flax seed 25G (decreases cancer by 50%)
fish oils from eating fish several times per week or fish oil capsules.
Recommend fibers include...
sweet potato
whole wheat pasta
beans
high fiber cereal.
Fiber at least 35 G per day.

The incidence of breast cancer in the Asian countries are 90% less than the US. Of course many fruits and vegetables included. 

Shaklee has the finest Soy Protein available today. I
for one will be increasing the EPA capsules, I love fish but am sure I'm not getting enough. Another good reason to supplement, really hard to get all those things everyday!!! 

Shaklee has many fiber choices to choose from to add to our diet too.
 


 
Do you know what billionaires are buying?
10.26.04 (8:47 am)   [edit]

Answer: Network Marketing Companies
What do they know about an industry
you thought you knew all about?


Warren Buffet just purchased an MLM company. So did Roger Barnett, managing partner of multi-billion dollar Activated Holdings, LLC. When asked why he chose network marketing Mr. Barnett replied..."because it is a business that allows you to make money and change people's lives at the same time." And anyone can do it! He believes network marketing is the greatest business model ever invented and it will grow more in the next 10 years, than in its entire history combined.


Shaklee's new owner/CEO multi-billionaire Roger Barnett calls Shaklee
"the crown jewel of the network marketing industry".


Having built three billion-dollar companies already, Mr. Barnett is totally confident Shaklee will become his next multi-billion dollar company for several reason


1) We already have the best nutritional products in the world.
2) We have a 48-year head start.
3) We will enter 50-100 countries. (We are now in only five.)

Shaklee is going global and entering a Perpetual
Momentum phase that will last for years to come!


Right now is the best time to be in the game because momentum creates leverage and leverage makes all of us Super Human.  learn more!

How to build a business doing in-home events
10.21.04 (3:43 pm)   [edit]
From Cindy:This post below comes from Rod Larkin (long time Shaklee Leader) on how to build a business doing in-home events. I have not chosen to build my business this way, but I'm posting it here so you know there are several ways to build a Shaklee business.
 

OK here it is..

Once you have sponsored a new business builder into your group, setting up some Shaklee presentation events in their home is the fastest and most effective way to get things going with your new person.  Their job is to personally invite people to come, and your job is to come and present.  The results that do take place are terrific!


 

There are two ways to help a new business builder sponsor new people and build a group.  One way is by doing individual 1-on-1 presentations presenting Shaklee to one person at a time, which of course is one of the things you should be doing. The other way is by doing in-home events in your new business builder's home and presenting Shaklee to several people at one time- leveraging your time, effort, and results.  The difference in results is staggering!

 

Even if you are the best presenter/recruiter in the business, the best you can expect to sponsor is 1 out of 2, but typically it is 1 out of 3 appointments.  If you do 2 1-on-1 appointments a week for business builders in your group for one year (50 weeks, 100 presentations), you would present to 100 new prospects and you would help your business builders sponsor about 30-35 new members.

 

Since creating the Healthy Home Plan presentation back in 1994, using in-home event tracking sheets, I have collected the data on over 300 of this specific in-home presentation event.  Here are the stats-

* Average number of prospects per event- 5

* Average number of new members sponsored per event- 1.6 (100% sponsoring success per presentation)

* Average PV per event- just under 200 PV

 

Based on the above data, this is what you can expect if you do 2 in-home events a week (50 weeks, 100 presentations) for builders in your group-

* You will present to 500 prospects!

* You will sponsor 160 new members!

* You will generate 20,000 PV in new orders!  If only 1/3 remains as regular monthly repeat business, you will increase your monthly PV volume by 7000 PV a month!

* You will develop at least 1 to 2 new first level Directors, possibly more.

 

I know that for every 10 HHP's (by the way, the P can stand for Program, Party, or Presentation, you pick) you do, you will have 1-2 fabulous ones with big number and lots of results.  You will also have 1-2 duds/no-shows with very low to no (immediate) results.  The other 6-8 will fall in between these 2 extremes and produce more, solid results.  I know that when you add up the total results of all 10, you are going to see the great accumulative results of 10 in-home group presentations- a lot of results.  It always happens!

Gary Burke has always stressed this important point- "no matter what type of in-home group event you
are doing, the purpose of doing the event is to prospect, not to build volume."  One result from doing in-home presentation events (like a HHP) is that you will move products and add to your volume.  That's a benefit from doing the event.  However, the purpose of the event is to prospect and meet new  people that you can sponsor under your new business builder.

 

One more important point is that there are many different types of in-home event presentations you can give.  Pick what you like to do and present, and then get good at it. There is only one way to do that- by doing them.  I have received many Minerelle's Party email testimonials and the numbers I am seeing are virtually the same as the numbers I have from the HHP. 

 

When you are doing 2 in-home events a week for builders in your personal group, you are networking through your builders to meet more new prospects. 
 
Surfing? Listen while you surf...
10.20.04 (4:57 pm)   [edit]

If you haven't been to the ShakWord website lately, go.... 
 
It's been newly designed, and one of the nicest features is a complete PDF of all the tapes and CDs you can buy from Paul Weinrich.  (Be patient if it takes awhile to load.) 

There's volume pricing that makes a bunch of CDs quite affordable.  By the way, I learned recently that Paul has sunk a lot of his money into the site and archiving things there for us.  Part of how we can say "thanks" is to buy tapes and CDs from him.


There are 2 new calls archived at www.shakword.com you may want to check out ..


 


 Jill Lamoureux interviewed Carolyn Spargur and an interview with Steve and Suzanne Chaney ... and they explained why 2 serious science people were attracted to Shaklee and compared the incomes in scientific professions including university professors with Shaklee incomes ..

It's pretty good and only 25 minutes long I think... anyway if you get a chance listen in at http://www.shakword.com" title="http://www.shakword.com" target="_blank"http://www.shakword.com


 

 
Something to think about...
10.20.04 (4:45 pm)   [edit]

Do use acronyms...well if you have ever worked with the government it's almost like a different language.

In Shaklee their is this guy...Maury Ransom, (he the guy that came up with the laminate and has used it for years to grow his shaklee business)... anyway here is a list of acronyms he came up with...

I thought you might enjoy learning.

LAMINATE = Leading All Mankind Into Nutrition As Tylenol Exits
SHAKLEE = Showering Huge Amounts of Kindness and Love on Everyone Everywhere
LOVE = Life's Only Valued Entity
DIET = Did I Eat That?
and
EARN (one must EARN his/her health) = Exercise, Attitude, Rest & Nutrition (in balance)
and, and
CELLS = Controlling Everything in our Living, Loving System
and, and, and
BARNETT = Bringing Automatic Revitalization for Natural Evolvement to The Top

Lessons Learned - Part VIII
10.14.04 (11:54 pm)   [edit]

This is more of a principle than a lesson.  Change will always be taking place as that is just how things are.  We all might as well accept the fact that changes always happen, and that change is meant to be an improvement.  But......the principle.

The principle: When things aren't working many people have a tendency to makes changes.Make sure the changes you make are not a substitute for improved effort.
This is a tremendous opportunity we have in Shaklee.  OPPORTUNITY!  What the word means is a we have a good chance to improve our personal situation, or we can advance. Think about it for a minute.  Read the above again.
What this means to me is we will most likely have to step up to the line and make some quality decisions about our work ethic.  This opportunity we have takes some work.  It takes effort.  So many times the success we all want for ourselves and others in our groups is just around the corner, its very close, we just have to keep our effort focused on doing the right things. 
What are the right things?  The fundamentals are what must be focused on.  Getting better at contacting people, invite more people to listen to your Shaklee story, approach 10 to 15 people a week, give more opportunity and product presentations, do more in-home meetings with new prospects, follow-up with everyone.

This business isn't always easy but it does get easier as you get better.  So the issue seems to be about getting better at the fundamentals.  Make a quality decision to work hard at getting better at the above fundamentals.  Don't make changes without making sure the change will help you get better at what you're doing


We have the greatest opportunity in America.  I believe that. Lets go to WORK and make things happen like never before.
 
Free Webcast so popular...Causes System Crash
10.13.04 (11:34 pm)   [edit]

Over 12,000 people tried to access the webcast last night and Nitro's entire system crashed as a result - I do believe there were some clicking in that hadn't registered as well.

This is unheard of in the industry (those numbers on a webcast) and the technology couldn't take the load. Every one of the Nitro websites went down and when they finally recovered the sound was terrible.

The good news is that you can download and/or listen online to a clean copy by visiting this page: http://HypnoticSellingSec rets.com/webcast.o/bk72852" title="http://HypnoticSellingSec rets.com/webcast.o/bk72852" target="_blank"http://HypnoticSellingSec rets...


I've downloaded mine so that I can listen to the tips whenever I choose. (Cindy)

Again, the audio is at:
http://HypnoticSellingSec rets.com/webcast.o/bk72852" title="http://HypnoticSellingSec rets.com/webcast.o/bk72852" target="_blank"http://HypnoticSellingSec rets...
Enjoy the call.

Make sure you have a pad and pen, two hours
to spare, and an open mind. I gave out a wealth
of info, tips, guidance and more --- and even put
a lot of people into a trance when I talked about
Britney Spears.

One person heard the call and wrote...

"Pheeewww!!! WOW! As an info junkie, even I
was overwhelmed!!!  Solid content for how to get
into the minds of my prospects!  Truthfulness that
in the beginning of the the "secrets" that getting
the info to the right customer counts more than copy
... Street smart secret after secret after secret after
secret."

And yet another wrote...

"It was really quite amazing how all three of you guys
were "hypeless" so to speak. All this magical material
was presented in a real easy and soft-spoken manner
that convinced me of the truth of an adage in my native
language, swahili, that goes, "Kizuri cha jiuza kibaya
cha jitembeza" and the translation is - "A good thing
sells itself; a bad thing advertises". One of the things
that have in the past discouraged me from making
money is the very thought that I would have to be a
"hypenotist", so I want to say that it's quite encouraging
and refreshing to see successful folks who are not
"hypenotists" and that makes me want to be a hypnotic
seller. God Bless and thanks so much!"

A Time to Live- Personal note from Paula English
10.11.04 (7:40 pm)   [edit]

Many of you know I brought my Mother home with me to care for her when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year.
As I had given birth to both of my children at home, my heart was clear that my mother should die at home with me as well.
It has been a hard and wonderful year. I have learned so much about love and compassion. And Trust.
It’s been amazing to experience so many roles in one relationship.
We have been richly blessed with many hours of laughter, singing, story telling and family gatherings.
We have shared the grace of our faith.
She has been the person I admire most since I was old enough to realize her gift of wisdom. She has always shown unwavering faith in her Lord and Savior. She taught us the immeasurable value of laughter and friendship. She was never at a loss for eloquence or a good joke. Even in her last hours, she smiled.
She was truly blessed as her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren gathered around her in this past week.
As she passed peacefully through the gates of Glory and I know she was greeted there with a grand committee.

Beloved Mother and friend.
As providence would have it ~ in the moment of her passing I was taking my son Vaughn to his very first Homecoming dinner/dance. He was dashing in his new Brooks Brothers clothes his uncle had helped him picked out just days before. As we stood for our picture I heard the symbols clash ~ Joy and Sorrow met ~ and I knew it was a bittersweet moment I would always remember. As I have spent days and weeks and months sitting by my Mother’s side, it was in that span of 20 minutes that she would take her last breath, my oldest brother at her side. As the youngest of 5 children, I have seen how each of us had our time and place in this wonderful process.
I will be taking time off now from my regular schedule for rest and reflection.
If you have an appointment scheduled in the next week or two, I will reschedule with you individually.
There are many unanswered emails in my inbox ~ please know it is not because of neglect.
Thursday night calls will be suspended temporarily. Please let your teams know.
I will let everyone know when we start up again.
I thank you for your understanding. I will return with renewed energy and vision!
You are each very precious to me and I am grateful every day for the privilege of working with you.
I am touched by your friendship, thoughts and prayers.
And remember, while I’m taking a little quiet time ~ FOCUS on what you do want. Be CONSISTENT in Reaching Out. AND Stick with your Plan of Action.
I’ll be right here. And I’ll want to know EVERYTHING when we talk again.
Blessings.

The Difference and Advantage of Shaklee Procucts
10.11.04 (7:11 pm)   [edit]
Notes from talk by: Cindy Latham, VP of new product development at Shaklee Corportation

Every single raw ingredient in every single Shaklee product is tested for 400 pesticides

v Even aerial contamination of plants in an organic farm is possible.

v This is a huge point of difference in Shaklee products

v As a result of Shaklee science, Shaklee products perform differently. Their aim is to create BALANCE, to let the body naturally heal itself. By contrast, stimulation does not create balance.

v Example: Hormones. They are often asked why they don’t produce hormones like other companies. Shaklee considers taking hormones to be taking something the body naturally creates on its own. Supplying such a substance for the body can create a dependency, an addiction, as it were, in which the body stops doing its own job of producing the hormone for itself.

v Shaklee’s purpose is to give your body the right tools to create its own proper balance.

v There is clinical documentation behind every single statement made by Shaklee. We have to, because we keep it on file to document for the FDA.

v Bioavailability of Shaklee products is achieved by targeting the exact delivery point of a nutrient within the body. Research then validates its success.

v Glucose Regulation Complex allows the cells to use the insulin already in the blood stream Other products on the market for insulin resistance, cause more insulin to be produced by the body. This is exactly the WRONG thing to do.

v May 2004 Consumer Reports has an article on the “Dirty Dozen” bad ingredients in nutritional supplements. Shaklee is the ONLY company that has NEVER sold ANY of these ingredients.

v Enfuselle now has 8 patents. It is conventional wisdom that we should not be able to improve sun damaged skin. Enfuselle has proven it can. See the UV photos in their catalogue. As a result many major pharmaceutical companies want to license Enfuselle. Shaklee will not, and will hold the patent for a very long time.

v There is a huge, growing market for vitamins that will help us look better and that will slow aging, and that at the same time are safe and natural.

v Our Vitamin C sustained release is in a natural gum base resin, not a synthetic plastic release system.

v Our soy protein has 4 clinical studies. Proven low glycemic response. Perfectly balanced amino acids are in identical ratio to those found in the human body.

v 1/2 of all men and 1/3 of all women will develop cancer in their lifetime.

v Of 167 chemicals currently found in the average blood stream, 76 cause cancer in humans and animals.

v In a given moment when a person stands on a street corner and breathes in the fumes from a passing bus, the amount of free radicals entering their body in that SINGLE MOMENT is more that a person 150 years ago was exposed to in their ENTIRE LIFETIME.

v FlavoMax and CarotoMax are our armour and shield to add to our basic foundation program for daily protection

v For example, the blueberries are picked in Nova Scotia in August, the RIGHT TIME to maximize their anthocyanidin content. Likewise with each ingredieint. Tomatoes picked in Israel—non-GMO and highest form of licopene content. Picked at the RIGHT TIME

v Antioxidant value tested against 7 competitors for the potent value of its flavinoids (includes Juice Plus). Shaklee far exceeded them all.

v Shaklee’s nail polish has no phalates, formaldehyde or Toluene. Other nail polishes are supposed to be recycled at your local gas stations. Shaklee’s can be thrown away in your garbage.

v Yet measures of its long-lasting and chipware qualities are equivalent to the top of the line nail polishes.


v SHAKLEE PRODUCTS ARE PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT.

 
Do you want a Successful Business? -Principle For Success
10.08.04 (12:01 pm)   [edit]
Written By: Gary Burke (Master Coordinator)

When I reflect back and think about what has helped guide me while building our Shaklee business, I have to say that various lessons I've learned as well as success principles I have found have been a huge factor.

The next factor has been applying what I've learned on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.  This is an ongoing challenge for me as I have learned that if a person will learn what the right things to do are, then do those things as best they can on a regular basis, the business seems to take care of itself.

This doesn't mean building a Shaklee business is easy. It also doesn't mean that it just happens because something was read.  It takes learning the fundamentals and then working hard at developing the various attitudes and skills necessary to build.

Here is one of my favorite success principles.  This is a major key to your business growth: In order to put yourself in position where growth can happen, you must put yourself in enough situations so you can practice.  Reading e-mails won't make it happen, going to meetings alone won't either.

The ONLY way I know of to assure myself of getting better is to learn and then put it into practice. When you practice a principle or lesson learned 3 things happen.

                    1. You will get better

                    2. You will gain experience

                    3. You will gain knowledge and confidence

 

Did you practice last week?  How about this week?  Practice what?  Approaching people, doing a in-home meeting, asking questions, I think you get the picture.

It's your business and it's your future.  It is also your responsibility to develop the attitudes and skills you'll need to guarantee your future in Shaklee is what you vision it to be. Make it a point from this day forward to practice something every day that helps you get better.

Shaklee has done it again... going over and above to see that distributors have the tools they need to do business. Last month Shaklee had released a wonderful state of art opportunity presentation for personal website owners. There was one small problem though unless you had broadband the presentation just took too long to load. Well now they have an option on the bottom right hand corner for dial up users.

Records Shattered...
10.07.04 (3:35 pm)   [edit]
Roger Barnett sent a voicemail on Wednesday expressing his sincere gratitude and thanks for what he said was- " the greatest birthday gift I have ever received."  Roger said that he and his family were blown away by the tremendous thought and effort put forth by the Shaklee field.  Roger was totally surprised and had absolutely no idea this effort was taking place.  Here are the statistics that Roger shared...

* In just 8 days, 5000 new members joined Shaklee in our 5 markets

* This number shatters all sponsoring records in Shaklee's 49-year history for an 8-day period

* Shaklee U.S. sponsoring was up 365%

* Shaklee Canada sponsoring was up 201%

* Shaklee Malaysia sponsoring was up 161%

* Shaklee Mexico sponsoring was up 166%

* Shaklee Japan sponsoring was up 142%

The Shaklee Master Executive Committee (MEC) is to be congratulated for putting together and promoting the greatest sponsoring effort in Shaklee history.  The Shaklee field-everyone who contributed to the 8-day sponsoring effort by sponsoring 1 or more new members is to be congratulated.

What the field has done is to prove to Roger Barnett and his family that he/they have made the best investment in buying Shaklee- and indeed they have purchased the "Crown Jewel" of the network marketing industry.

It is a two-way street and both lanes are wide open and working together.  What Roger has done for Shaklee already since buying the Company in late May has proven his commitment to the field.  What the field has just accomplished in the "8 Great Days of Shaklee" has proven our commitment to Roger. 

It's only been a little over 4 short months since this new partnership was formed between our new owner and the field.  Can you begin to see the incredible future we all have in the years to come if all this has happened in just 4 months?  It's time to start pinching yourself!  It's for real!
 
New Website to Check out!
10.06.04 (12:56 am)   [edit]

I've been posting blogs written by Gary Burke (Master Coordinator) about some of the lessons he has learned in his many years of building his Shaklee Business. Gary and his wife Faye have just launched their own website.
They have done a superb job of putting the information on their web site that people need to learn, know, and understand about what it takes to build an organization in Shaklee.


 

I urge you to invest some time at their new web site!


 
 
Lessons Learned- Part X
10.01.04 (6:58 pm)   [edit]
Written By: Gary Burke (Master Coordinator)

This lesson took me a while to really understand but once I got it our business started to change and grow.

The lesson: In order to grow a successful Shaklee business it is vital to be working with  people whose interest in Shaklee becomes a commitment to Shaklee.

Let me explain.  There were periods of time when I was working with people and months would go by with little or no activity that could lead to growth.  Many, many  months.  I kept thinking things would change, because that was easier than prospecting for more people who truly wanted a new future. 

These people were certainly interested and I knew it because they told me so.  But I had to learn the difference between interest and commitment.

When some people are interested in doing something they only do it when it is convenient. When they have time.....they don't seem to make time to go after a dream.  When interest grows into a  commitment, these peoeple accept no excuses, only results.

I learned to continue to pay attention to interested people, give good service, invite them to everything I could, and make sure they received current information. Because interest can turn to commitment. Some certainly did. Those who went from interest to commitment ALWAYS did the following.

Committed people are coachable, they talk to people, give presentations, do in-home meetings with the products and opportunity, sponsor on a regular basis, ask lots of questions, do 3 way calls, listen in on conference calls, set goals, and are not willing to quit because of adversity or major obstacles.  They keep moving forward as best they can and these people do become successful in Shaklee.  They are also fun to work with.

Who are you spending time with?  Is it time to start prospecting?
