It's Happening...
02.21.05 (5:47 pm)   [edit]

By: Dan Henderson


One of the major challenges we have in the recruiting process is the
credibility issue of our great business. After quite a lot of study
Roger Barnett decided this is the best business model he had seen and paid
$310 million for our company.

Unfortunately, most people haven't taken the time to do the research
Roger did.  They tend to listen to their friends at work.  They get a very distorted view of our business.  There are lots of reasons for this including the fact that many people in the industry oversell the opportunity.  They over-promise a lot and under-deliver.

As you are no doubt well aware, the industry is exploding around the world
and network marketing has become a mainstream business model for people
from all walks of life.  In addition to Roger Barnett, some other big players with great reputations are getting involved in or touting our industry.People like Paul Zane Pilzer, Warren Buffett (the second richest man in the world) and Lee Iacocca who raised Chrysler from the dead a few years back.

I had the good fortune to receive an advanced copy of the new magazine,
Success From Home that will be on news stands February 10th. I highly
recommend you get at least one copy an read it from cover to cover.  You
might want to make a list of all the positive facts that you will read in this magazine.

Not only will it give you comfort, it will arm you with real facts you
need to have at your disposal when you talk face-to-face with your new prospects!

Tax Help for You from the DSA
02.19.05 (8:09 am)   [edit]
Tax time is almost here and there is no better way for you to prepare for it than to visit the DSA/IRS Tax Center at www.dsa.org/press/taxcenter.htm.
DSA has partnered with the Internal Revenue Service Small Business and Self-Employed Division to provide you with a one-stop resource for many of your tax questions.

DSA recently added the "Direct Selling and Your Taxes: A Resource for Filers and Preparers" to the page as a streaming video presentation. They have also prepared this resource for the purpose of educating those who prepare your tax returns by shedding some light on the IRS's rules for matters relating to income and business expenses by direct sellers.

The Web address is www.dsa.org/press/webcast.htm. Be sure to visit this site soon and please share the availability of the DSA/IRS Tax Center with everyone who may benefit from it.

Building Your Business Online
02.17.05 (8:14 am)   [edit]
I think that mentally when it comes to prospecting, we tend to think local.  With the exciting new online technology of presentations and training you now have to build your business with, it's time to jog your memory and start making a new list of people you know that live in other states-- friends, relatives, co-workers (that have moved), casual acquaintances, former classmates, business owners, etc. 
 

You can network through others and get referrals of people they know who live in another state who might be interested in taking a look at a great money-making home-based business opportunity. 

 

How would you like to have new businesses building in your downline in several different states in just the next few months?

 

You  can invite prospects living anywhere to take a look at a great money-making home-based business opportunity by logging on to see a live  web conference business overview that take place 6 nights a week. Contact me at:mcasey@shakleeoffice.com for the link to the site

 

Have you ever sat in on a live web conference?  They are pretty cool and you can do it from the comfort of your home.  Would you like to check one out?  Great!  What night this week will work best for you?  Thursday?  Grea t, I will email you the login details (be sure you give complete step-by-step instructions how to enter the web conference room).  I'll plan to get back with you on Friday to see what you think.  Always follow-up with your prospect to see if they watched the presentation.

 

You can prospect with the products by inviting people to a live Virtual In-Home (Healthy Home presentation) that take place 3 nights a week. 

 

What's that?  You can't make it at that time?  Not a problem!  On the home page, just click on The Healthy Home Plan link.  You can see this presentation any time, 24/7 (same with the business overview).  When do you think you can take time to see this presentation?  Saturday morning?  Great!  I'll touch base with you over the weekend to see what you think.  Always follow-up with your prospect to see if they watched the presentation.

 

This should get your creative prospecting juices flowing.  Remember, your prospects will be attending an online presentation--- either live, or recorded.  Neither your prospect or you will be taking up 2 or 3 hours total by driving to the appointment, having the appointment, and driving back home.  What this means for you is, you have more available time for contacting people on the phone and via email to invite people to see a presentation.

 

In light of that, what if you made a commitment to invest 1 hour a day, 5 days a week, to make prospecting calls?  Can you imagine what this 5 hours a week would do for your business in a very short period of time!  In can tell you for a fact that the people who are doing this and using the online presentations are growing like crazy!!!

 

When a prospect says yes, you have them join at your  Personal Web Site and then you plug them into the next online New Distributor Training session.  These take place live on Wednesday and Friday nights.  Which night is good for you?  Great!  I'll be in the training session with you. Contact me at; mcasey@shakleeoffice.com for link to the online conference room.

 

Can't make the live training this week?  Not a problem.  Become a (free)  member of the Resource Center and once your login ID and password are activated (within 24 hours), you can click on the New Distributor Training link, download and print your 12-page workbook, and then click on the recorded New Distributor Training Session. 

 

What I hope you will understand is this--- you now have this new online method and approach for building your business bigger and faster to add to your existing arsenal of business building methods and tools.  It's not designed to replace activities you do to build your business such as 1-on-1 appointments, in-homes, local meetings, etc.

 

Rather, it is designed to enhance your business building activities and allow you to effectively have more new presentations taking place with more new prospects, and getting more new business builders up and running and building their own business--- faster, on a weekly basis!

 

Contact me at mcasey@shakleeoffice.com for the link to the conference room.
 
Are you in the Right Company?
02.16.05 (6:49 am)   [edit]

This was posted on an email forum that I belong to... I thought you might benefit from the questions at the bottom. I have replaced our company name with "Secret Company" to adhere with our company's P & R Guideline's. Just click on "Secret Company" for the name.
Posted By: Susan (thanks for sharing)
You know, years ago a major player had one of the largest organizations in
"Secret Company" and left for greener pastures. For what? He and his family have been
involved in at least 3 or more business ventures that I am personally aware
of. And the people who took over their organization in Shaklee are
multi-millionaires.

You can't build a business that will take you into retirement based on one
ingredient. What if that ingredient goes out of style. These fads come and
go all the time. I remember aloe vera and what about spirulina? Where are
they? Just no-name products on some dusty health food store shelf.

What happens if the company folds? I have a friend who was in a perfume
business and worked her tail off to create a $5,000/month income that lasted
just over a year until Chanel sued them and they lost their entire U.S.
operation. She was out of business overnight with NOTHING. "Secret Company" will be there for you through the years.

Bouncing from one opportunity to another will profit a person less than
sticking with one really good one for the long-haul.

Don't be decieved by those who jump ship for what they think is something
better. With our new leadership and direction through Roger, we have the
world at our finger-tips.

Stay focused, stay positive and stay with the sure thing!
And realize, you can't save everyone, but don't burn your bridges, they may
be back.

Good questions to ask:
* Have you researched the financial solvency of this company?
* Has this company ever missed a paycheck?
* Have you considered what you would do when the fervor over this
ingredient dies down?
* Have you investigated the reputation of this company?
* How large is your product line? How broad is the target market?
* What is this company doing to help their people market & grow?
* Are they re-investing their profits into say, training or R&D?
* What are the product purchase requirements, if any? Are they sustainable?
* Are the products complete? Have you read the labels? (I know someone in a company whose calcium product sells for $75 and a serving is 5 tablets thatcontains ONLY 22% DV of this vital nutrient. I figured you had to take 23tablets a day to get 100% DV calcium. To get 100% DV calcium it would costme $11.50 per day!-not sustainable)

There is power in asking GOOD questions.

 
Are your motivation techniques working?
02.11.05 (6:56 am)   [edit]

Have you ever heard of Jack Zufelt?
Well I haden't either... but I was on this teleconference the other
night and some of the things he was saying really got my attention.

The call was hosted by Kevin Wilke of Nitro Marketing. For those of
you who don't know him, he is in his late 20's and a master internet
marketer and knows stuff. Go here to see his website http://www.nitro.mcaseyenterprises.com" title="http://www.nitro.mcaseyenterprises.com" target="_blank"http://www.nitro.mcaseyenterp....


To listen to the call that inspired me go to http://nitromarketing.com/whisper/recording.html/g.o/bk72852" title="http://nitromarketing.com/whisper/recording.html/g.o/bk72852" target="_blank"http://nitromarketing.com/whi...


Now back to Jack Zufelt. I really think he has is the thinking part
down to a science for network marketers.


He say's,"put the responsibility for success
where it belongs - in the hearts and between the ears of
the distributor not in techniques."


If you have been doing the usual techniques like goal setting,
affirmations etc... and it hasn't worked for you?
You can change it if you want to with the truths could learn from him.


Here is his short and sweet process...


FIRST: To stop this from happening to you make sure you don't fall
into the trap of believing that the techniques
suggested by a big money earner is the way they did it.
Don't believe that they are the reason you will succeed.


There are only four things you must do to make money in
network marketing.
Do these with the right self-paradigm
and do them consistently and you will make all the money
you want.
So when you hear anything other than this, please
understand that what you are being taught by these well
meaning upline and gurus is their way to try to motivate
you to do these four things consistently.


1)     Believe in and use the product(s)
    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   (This is the easy part)
2)     Prospect - i.e. look for interested customers
    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   and business builders
3)     Recruit those who are interested - make the
    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   rest customers where possible
4)     Teach the new recruit what you know

Then.....
Repeat, Repeat, Repeat..... forever.
Training over. 


The mechanics of doing network marketing are really
very simple aren't they? 


SECOND:  Take a close, in-depth and truthful look at
your real motivations. If they aren't there don't give
yourself any negative labels. You are NOT stupid. You
DO have talent. You could learn to do and be what it
takes if you REALLY wanted to.


You just didn't want to badly enough. Period.


Just acknowledge that you just don't want the results
badly enough to consistently do what it takes, for as
long as it takes, no matter what, including making some
important and crucial changes in yourself.  


That's all.


If your are truly motivated from within by one or more
Core Desires to do the business and become what you must become then
see steps 1 through 4 above and you will begin to experience the joy
of success.


Jack has an amazing site with a FREE Special
Report called -- 'If Goal Setting, Positive Thinking,
Affirmations, Self Talk, Dream Building, Visualization,
Chanting, Fire Walking and Every Other Technique That
Self Help Guru's Preach Actually Work... Then why are
they failing miserably for you?'


It really opened my eyes to why all of the things we
are told to do never produce the results we want and
reveals a simple technique that does work. I really
enjoyed the report and I wanted you to know about it too.


There is also an excellent FREE Newsletter and several
FREE Real Audio trainings you can listen to as well.


You can find it at this website:http://www.thednaofmlmsuccess.com/at.cgi/307074" title="http://www.thednaofmlmsuccess.com/at.cgi/307074" target="_blank"http://www.thednaofmlmsuccess...


When you finally get that call, meet that person, walk that walk, and
live that dream, do you think you'll even care that there were a few
dark and scary moments in a journey that made them all possible?


Trust me, you won't even remember.
Won't you be glad you never settled for less? barefootmentor

 
Barefoot Secret Company shows up in Marketing Ezine
02.08.05 (9:05 pm)   [edit]

I was scaning though one of the many marketing ezines I suscribe to and look what is in there!!
Is our company on fire or what!!!


Here it is...

Q: Kevin,

I am planning to start marketing Shaklee MLM. All these years I
have been just a consumer and I truly believe in their products,
I am beginning to promote it. I am also a writer, but so far
never published any of my writings. I wrote a book of 96 pages
called "Insiders Secrets to Getting Healthy and staying that way"
and I have just given it to the print shop to print a copy to see
how it looks (sprial bind). I am planning to distribute that book
to local libraries and to small book stores here to get the word
out. I am also planning to write a sales copy for marketing
Shaklee. I am planning to buy MLM leads and direct them to the
shaklee sales copy and I want your suggestion as to how I should
write to get a high conversion rate of prospects becoming
distributors. I want your opinion as to how I should start
promoting my book and how you can help me with your services?

Thanks,

Sai


A: Sai,

Your plan sounds very good. I'm sure you're going to be a
success. Put up a web site with your sales copy on it.  Then take
some of your book and divide it up into 7 lessons you can put on
an autoresponder.  Get the free autoresponder at
http://SendFree.com" title="http://SendFree.com" target="_blank"http://SendFree.com. You can market your Shaklee business in an
ad at the top and bottom of each lesson.   Then advertise your
free lessons in ezines.  Our ezine ad package at
http://drnunley.com/drnad.asp" title="http://drnunley.com/drnad.asp" target="_blank"http://drnunley.com/drnad.asp... could work well for that.

Best,

Kevin Nunley

Do you have a online office?
02.05.05 (8:54 am)   [edit]

There has been lot's people asking me about my online office lately. I use a product made by Earnware called "Shaklee Office." It came with pre-loaded campaigns that is nice for someone just starting out in the business. It also comes with it's own toll free number and answering system.

I don't know how I would do my business without it now, but as a fair warning there is a learning curve when you start using it. They do have excellent online learning videos and conference calls that are available to teach you how to use it.


It's really nice to have your whole office available to you where ever you are!
