LC Jan 31, 2011

Paulette talked about why the products ARE the business – because they have enough VALUE to hold the consumer’s brand loyalty – we’re able to compete for marketshare.

Eddie & Paulette took us through 2 products: Replenex & Phytomega – talking about the quality of ingredients and benefits of taking them along with how affordable they are – Example: Osteo Biflex @ $39 vs Extra Strength Replenex @ $20

They discussed a recent article by Global Industry Analysts that stated that ‘Supplement Sales Expected to Reach $100 Billion by 2015” and in this article so much strong data to support all roads leading to Melaleuca.

Paulette also walked us through how she talks with Corporate Business minds about who we are – very powerful.

Identify and Coach Leadership

Party Planners revisited! Operate in the mission statement - it's not about YOU!

Jan/Feb is PRIME TIME to approach any party planner connections you have.

In Homes are the most effective way to build your Melaleuca business – this is a business of relationships & communication

Direct Sales Party Plan Leaders become [in Paulette’s opinion] some of the best leaders in Melaleuca because they are extremely well-trained & already understand

    * How to gather people together – emotionally anchored to the host or hostess – to share a product or concept
    * How to invite
    * How to present/communicate with passion their company/concept/product

Paulette and Eddie talked with Kim Anderson and Lisa Meehl – both came to Melaleuca with a combined 30 years experience with Mary Kay Cosmetics.

One of the main reasons they decided to build a business here was the 95% monthly reorder rate which generates residual income along with the fact that there are no big expenses that they experienced with Mary Kay.  In many cases, they would ‘re-invest’ 50% of what they earned.

Kim and Lisa help us understand how to approach and talk with leaders from that industry – valuable and eye-opening information.

Pacesetter Reset, Personal Inventory, last chance for your Team of 4

Pacesetter Reset: Important notes - you MUST sign and return the commitment form (download from the business center or call your Regional).  Then you must have at least 4 new quality enrollments or develop one new personal director (who enrolls at least 4 this month).  If you didn't purchase a Career or Value pack yet, that must also happen.  Lastly, you must also be at least an active Director by the end of January to take advantage of this reset.

Remember the Mentoring bonus is also dramatically affected by this reset!  Pay attention to those in your group that could use the Pacesetter Reset and help them start advancing on Pacesetter again, doubling your Mentoring bonuses along the way!


Teams of 4 - if you haven't emailed leadershipconnection@hotmail.com with your team of at least 4, you still have a few more days to get that done. Tue Feb 1st @ 9pm EST - special call with Ed and Paulette for those that have put their teams together.

Jeff Stutz = $470k in the last 24 months :)
Ed's December check...$310,173.69

  9. Do I consistently hold 48 hour followups?
  10. Am I comfortable with the Preferred Customer program?

...Am I just interested? Or committed?

Personal Inventory:
How many presentations have I done in the last 90 days?

3 Things to Avoid & the Power Team of 4

How are you promoting the January Launch? Imagine having 20 people on your team bringing 2 each (or a more applicable number based on the size of your business right now). We get a new start in 2011, let's start it off strong!

Recommit to the WHY, WHAT and HOW:
  • Is your why still the same? And was it strong enough to begin with? Have this conversation with your team - revisit that, get their wheels turning and help them focus on what will get them out of bed and up and at em this whole new year.
  • No matter what attitude. Recommit to your business hours. Focus on productivity. Make a big deal out of your business hours (extra accountability).
  • How will you build your business in 2011? The Game Plan. ...Duplication! Rededicate to the Pacesetter Packs. Learn it, get good at it, improve your posture. Work smarter, not harder this year!
Focus on INCOME PRODUCING ACTIVITIES, and coach your team on the same.

You will have pain - pain of doing it, or pain of the consequences of not doing it.  Let's choose our pain this year!

No amount of travel on the wrong road will bring you to your destination. Are you doing the right things, heading the right direction?

Biggest things to avoid:
  1. Working with people who are not coachable
  2. Dragging and trying to convince
  3. Stop looking at the MORE report every 3 hours
The answer to everything in the new year: Develop more Directors! :)

in 2011...
1. Add one contact per day, and contact one person per day.
Half of the people you reach out to, will look.
30% of those will enroll (company average)
= 9 enrollments per month on the low end!

2. Enroll 2 the right way each month

Two questions to ask yourself every day:  Who's coming in, and who do I personally have goin to Director?

POWER TEAM OF 4:
Find committed people - ask:
Are you willing to commit to one contact per day?
Are you willing to do it until...you enroll 2 the right way?

If you have a team of 4 committed to this, then at a minimum you'll have 4 new Directors per month. Pick your team - find out what their WHY is, have everyone write it out along with their commitment to the 2 activities.

Gratitude, Holiday business hours and the January Launch!

www.whyilovemelaleuca.com - take a few minutes to post some gratitude!

Weekly Leadership Call continues every week in 2011! We'll see a new 10 minute spot every week where Paulette will highlight a product or two.

THIS is the time of the year to pull out all of the stops and BUILD. At least half of the Corporate Directors @ Melaleuca started their business in December. This is the time of year when serious people get serious.

The January Launch.........make your invite list and start pinging it seriously. Work right up to that event.

The difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary is the little extra :)

Holiday business hours. Some thoughts...many millions don't celebrate Christmas. Many other millions work right up till the eves (Christmas/New Year). Go stimulate relationships and conversations, think of the news we have for all those that are hurting out there. Does the recession go on extended leave over the holidays? Should we??

Watch your language this week!
Wrong language vs Right language
Business Opportunity vs Unique business concept
Place an order each month vs Switch stores, try our brand
If you're interested vs If you see what I see
Upline/downline vs Support team and customer base or team
Show the plan vs present the concept
Break a Director vs develop a Director

Take a little time through the holidays to get back in touch with your WHY. Are you interested? Or Committed? Failure cannot cope with persistence. Recommit to yourself. Success is when preparedness meets opportunity.

Thanks to Paulette and Ed for continuing to lead the charge during this time. I know there are many of us that intently follow their lead, and that if anyone's earned a big long break, it's them! So thanks again for leading from the front. We're getting the message....it's not about US!

Have a great week everyone!!
