Announcements ~ News from ONE Group.
Now that the company news is published every two weeks, I will keep this section brief. Please carefully review your ONE Group Newsletters to stay up-to-date on products, new tools and all company information. THANKS!
* New Travel Sizes are now listed under each category and 'Travel Sizes' on your
website shopping area.
* The New Preferred Customer newsletter launch has been delayed due to requests by
reps to allow to include or exclude their customer base. ONE Group will
update us on instructions and a new launch date.
* Executive Call updates:
Next year's ONE Group Conferences have been set, with the Australasian one to be held June 13-14 on the Gold Coast and the North American one on October 10-11 in Chicago, Illinois!! A one-stop online registration service is being set up to purchase conference registrations, accomodations and more. There will be sponsorship opportunities well worth your effort, from covering registration fees to your hotel ... and even your domestic flight to attend conference. Our March monthly call will focus on the North American Conference and sponsorships!! With an early start, you can aim to come to conference in October with some or all fees paid... great news for all reps on the team who want to attend!!
Holiday Gift Card promotion went very well -- the company now offers 'generic' Gift Cards. Moving forward, the company is looking at electronic gift cards, custom landing pages to guide someone in redeeming their card and other helpful tools.
New incentives are being put in place for new Representatives to begin with a Fast Start, plus more promotion of what's included in membership fees. Looking at a February 2009 launch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit Card Authorization Forms.
To continue to receive your preferred rep discount for being on BP or Autoship, you must have your CCAF in to headquarters. This is Australian law. The form may be faxed or sent regular mail or scanned in and sent via e-mail. I recommend choosing BP, getting the form in to ONE Group and then placing your order manually by the evening of the 23rd of the month, so you don't need to think about your default order! It's an easy task -- ask your sponsor or me for details!

How to Achieve Your Dreams ~
This issue: Part 2 of Kathy's Presentation at 2nd North American Conference!
(compiled by Ronit Rosen)
|
Dear ONEderful team,
Last time, I gave an overview of the North American Conference held in late October, 2008. I also highlighted some suggestions from Kathy Lee, who spoke about focus, miSpa parties and specific ideas for growing your business. The 2nd part is summarized below. If you missed the first part, please visit the prior news at:
http://www.optionsforhealth.net/training/News/teamNewsDecJan2009.shtml
MiSpa Ideas from Kathy Lee, Executive Representative
Kathy gave some great suggestions that could be applied to other strategies too. Here are more ideas from her seminar (think creatively how you can use her advice, if you are pursuing another strategy):
Everyday
Everyday, think of someone to call to host a miSpa Party. If you have any fears of calling, work through them, perhaps with your sponsor or a mentor. Practice. Write down points of what you might say and how you would answer possible questions. Be in a good place mentally and excited about what you have to offer, keeping in mind you also need to listen to what others say. Ask for referrals.
She calls 2 people every day and is booking parties! Her advice is "perseverence and failure cannot co-exist." Take ACTION and you will have SUCCESS.
Boost sales = More Success
How to boost outside sales = More free products for the hostess so they need to know this. Suggest hostess take orders for anyone who cannot make the party and from relatives or friends who live in other places. Hostess coaching - why? You establish an emotional connection, be excited (not a chore), talk with host - what would you like to get for free? "wish list" of what the hostess wants. Check in on a regular basis at least 2-3 times, to avoid any procrastinations or cancellations. Remind her about how great it will be to get her wish list!
Be Efficient
Follow-up with host and find out how they enjoyed the party, get feedback, suggest complimentary products, find out if they would like to host again in 3, 6, 9 or 12 months...
Recession-Proof = ONE Group
O = observing what's going on in the world. Hot topics? opinions? Maximize opportunities for what others want. Connecting with people - enjoy the parties - emphasize that it's a time to de-stress - forget about what's going on with the economy... Could also be a way for others to expand their income by joining as a rep.
N = never underestimate the power of what you have to offer.
We have unparalled products and nutritionals.
We have immediate income with little cash outlay.
E = Examine beliefs -- people want what I have to offer or they wouldn't come to the Mispa party. They want to look and feel better, even if things are more challenging economically. Maybe they want to just have some fun, get away, experience something new or different.
Become an expert - become sought after -- use what you are knowledgeable about. Brand yourself with what you know or who you are: website, business card (i.e. maybe a photo of a party or your picture).
Join networking groups to get your name out there but also as a way to see how others market themselves. She suggested the National Women's Business Alliance.
Kathy suggested bringing some recipes using Berry Radical to taste at MiSpa parties (or whatever gatherings you have with your business). She gave a few ideas like vegan chocolate pudding and vegan cookies... they sounded yummy! If you join Organic Alliance, you can read some of her recipes in the Forum on Berry Radical! You can also share your own. See the sidebar to the left on how to join.

OK, that's all for this month. Did this help? Have questions? Comments? Send them along now, so I can answer or address them next time. Thanks!
Have you been receiving free e-mails from someone who really motivates or inspires you? Listened to a dynamic coach lately? Picked up a book about synthetic chemicals, skin care, pro-biotics or the immune system... or other related topics? Why not share these with us in next month's issue? Send an e-mail to me today (or whenever you have a good nugget to add). THANKS!!
