FAQ's

1. How do you approach a small mom and pops store to get them to help you promote and sell your products.
I don't. I offer to HELP THEM increase their business and create more happy customers.

2. What is the most popular product you retail?
LimuPlus

3 how do you market Limu plus to a small independent holistic store? Try it - on consignment. Usually results in a few - but regular ongoing sales. May pick up a rep down the line... but NEVER push recruiting on ANYBODY... or you will get a bad rap. 4. What is the max stores can a person owns to be consider small and not commercial?

Do they use bar codes or not. CHAINS use bar codes. Any store IS commercial by definition.

5 Do you recruit store owners or do you give them a percentage of the commissions made? Never.

6 How do you convert a customer already doing a large volume into a affiliate? I don't... if it's not broken, don't fix it. You will DRIVE a good customer AWAY starting the recruiting pitch.

7. Do you give customers info to prospect them or do you wait for them to ask you about joining Your company?
Apples & Oranges. LEAVE 'EM ALONE. Get OVER RECRUITING FEVER... and just serve your customers.

8. What would be the best what to explain what we do if ask by a vendor?
Supply high quality products at minimal cost - due to our streamlined overhead model.

PREVIEW OF UPCOMING CALL. BOOK SEGMENT
Snakes in Suits
When Psychopaths Go To Work
Paul Babiak, Ph.d. & Robert D. Hare, Ph. D.

This is an important book to know - as we have all been mislead by charming - but greedy, charismatic thieving con people. This type of person only wrecks havoc and hell wherever they go. Learn to identify them - in advance - for the safety and health of your personal life plus your business, team and company. .... Pat Crosby
http://Pat.SuccessIn10Steps.com

Let's say you're about to hire somebody for a position in your company. (Or recruit them onto your team. Or find them in your organization somewhere.) Your corporation wants someone who's fearless, charismatic, and full of new ideas. Candidate X is charming, smart, and has all the right answers to your questions. Problem solved, right? Maybe not. We'd like to think that if we met someone who was completely without conscience -- someone who was capable of doing anything at all if it served his or her purposes -- we would recognize it.

In popular culture, the image of the psychopath is of someone like Hannibal Lecter or the BTK Killer. But in reality, many psychopaths just want money, or power, or fame, or simply a nice car.

Where do these psychopaths go? Often, it's to the corporate world. Researchers Paul Babiak and Robert Hare have long studied psychopaths. Hare, the author of Without Conscience, is a world-renowned expert on psychopathy, and Babiak is an industrial-organizational psychologist. Recently the two came together to study how psychopaths operate in corporations, and the results were surprising. They found that it's exactly the modern, open, more flexible corporate world, in which high risks can equal high profits, that attracts psychopaths. They may enter as rising stars and corporate saviors, but all too soon they're abusing the trust of colleagues, manipulating supervisors, and leaving the workplace in shambles.

Snakes in Suits is a compelling, frightening, and scientifically sound look at exactly how psychopaths work in the corporate environment: what kind of companies attract them, how they negotiate the hiring process, and how they function day by day. You'll learn how they apply their "instinctive" manipulation techniques -- assessing potential targets, controlling influential victims, and abandoning those no longer useful -- to business processes such as hiring, political command and control, and executive succession, all while hiding within the corporate culture. It's a must read for anyone in the business world, because whatever level you're at, you'll learn the subtle warning signs of psychopathic behavior and be able to protect yourself and your company -- before it's too late.

LISTEN: Laura Lucas on 5 Love Languages

LISTEN to LAURA LUCAS on 5 LOVE LANGUAGES HERE

MP3 File

6.07.08 Laura Lucas Review the 5 LANGUAGES of LOVE

Learning the 5 Love Languages

Laura Lucas' review of the book
"The Five Love Languages"
by Gary Chapman.

It is ESSENTIAL, in my opinion, to understand the different Personality Colors (types) to help us understand others and how to communicate most effectively. Just as there are 4 primary personality colors (types), there are 5 primary Love Languages. Understanding this Love Languages builds on that foundation of personality types by taking it a step further and identifying the "Language" in which the people in our lives communicate and express love.

At this time, I want to clarify 2 terms:

"Language" -any set or system of words or symbols as used in a more or less uniform fashion by a number of people, who are thus enabled to communicate intelligibly with one another.

>>Example: Saying "I love you," in American English to someone who only speaks French would NOT commuicate your intended message. It would NOT be understood, But saying "Je t'aime." (in French) would CLEARLY express the same message.

"Dialect" - a variety of a language that is distinguished from other varieties of the same language; a special variety of a language

>>Example: The primary language of the United States is American English. However people in Texas sound different than people in Boston: people in Minnesota sound different from people in Georgia. And yes, people in Kentucky speak "Bluegrass" American (**GRIN**)

So just as we want to communicate with others in a verbal Language that they can understand, we want to be aware of what Love Language they understand and communicate in that language. In that way we maximize our communication and receive the fullest response to our efforts.

Are they UNDERSTANDING what you're trying to express???

Why is this so important?? Love is a primary human emotional need. Increasing our understanding and "fluency" of Love will contribute to our own personal development and impact our relationship with others.

SO???? How does this apply to Business builders you may ask.

Often times, Your ability to focus and build a business from home is impacted by the significant people in your life. Their love and support can lift you up, and just as easily their nagging and criticisms can tear you down.

What if their lack of support or negative words were just a "SIGNAL" that they were feeling unloved? How you spend your time, what you talk about, and where you invest your money may be sending them the WRONG message if you are not aware of what love-language they speak. If you could ease the tension or gain their support, would that help you???

I say "Yes."
Learning more about the 5 Love Languages
is a prudent investment in yourself and your business.

Gary Chapman identifies 5 Primary Languages of Love, and acknowledges some variations of "dialect" within each language. He states that each person has 1 or 2 primary "love languages" they can understand or receive--if the love being offered is not in "their language," they will not be able to understand what's being offered. Similar to the example I mentioned earlier about speaking English to someone that only speaks French. How about if someone came up to you and said something in Japanese or Russian?? would you understand them?? most likely not. So when you can identify what language someone receives love in, you can effectively offer your love in a way that will be understood.

As I discuss each Love Language, you will likely start to reflect on yourself and others close to you in an attempt to identify the "Love Language." Please keep in mind that GIVING and RECEIVING go hand-in-hand; however, a person may "GIVE" or offer love in a language other than they "RECEIVE" in. This difference can be for a variety of reasons, but simply put is often a "learned" or "programed" way to express love.

5 Love Languages:

1.) Words of Affirmation

2.) Quality Time

3.) Receiving Gifts

4.) Acts of Service

5.) Physical Touch

1.) Words of Affirmation:

"The tongue has the power of life and death." (Gary Chapman)

For persons with this primary love-language, they need to HEAR verbal compliments and words of appreciation. They need to hear that they look good, prepared a great meal, are appreciated for what they did do such as mowing the grass or working hard to provide a comfortable home, etc. They thrive on your encouragement and affirmation of their abilities. These must be genuine expressions, not just flattery in order to get what you want. Body language and tone of voice are key factors in expressing this love-language.

The book reminds us, "Love makes requests, not demands."

>>Note: In addition to clearly detailing each love-language the end of each chapter has wonderful, practical suggestions to help you become more "fluent" in each language.

2.) Quality Time:

"Togetherness."

For persons with this primary love-language, they require giving your undivided attention, not just your physical proximity--looking into their eyes, doing something with them that they value or enjoy doing. This love-language is notable for 2 significant dialects:

Dialect of Quality Conversation: Don't confuse this one with words-of-affirmation which focuses SAYING. Rather quality-conversation focuses on HEARING, listening sympathetically, asking questions with a genuine desire to understand thoughts/feelings/desires. Make eye contact. Don't "do" other things at the sametime. Listen for feelings. Observe body language. Refuse to interupt. Please note, quality-conversation involves not only sympathetic listening, but also SELF-REVELATION.

At this point Gary Chapman refers to 2 personality characteristics, DEAD SEA and BABBLING BROOK. We know this thru the Colors training as Self-Contained (Dead Sea) and Open (Babbling Brook). He also points out how these opposites often attract and are a 'good match' while dating--since one like to do all the talking and the other one is relieved not tohave to talk much at all. However, this 'fit' is short lived, especially in a marriage. The Open-person eventually crave more openness and sharing from the other; while the self-contained one suffers from information overload and may withdraw from truly listening.

Once again, the chapter offers some great concrete steps to help. Especially for self-contained personalities that are trying to communicate in this love-language.

Dialect of Quality Activities: Communicating in this dialect requires experiencing something together. You willing "do" or actively participate in an activity that the other person enjoys, and do it with a postive attitude. To communicate in this love-language, the activity must be something the other person values or enjoys. And remember, your attitude while participating in the activity is key.

Where will you FIND the time?? Gary Chapman honestly concludes there is NO time to be found--You must MAKE the time!!! Making time to express your love is as ESSENTIAL as "lunch and dinner."

3.) Receiving Gifts:

The gift itself is a symbol of a thought, a visual symbol of love. The gift can be purchased, found, or made. What matters is the thought, time, and/or effort that went into the gift. Cost is generally of little importance unless it is greatly out of line with what can be afforded.

For persons with a "savers" mentality, this may require an attitude change toward money to be an effective gift-giver. "Savers" will experience some emotional resistance to spending money, but investing in a significant other and fulfilling their love needs is well worth it.

Dialect of Gift of Self or Presence: With this dialect, your physical presence, your body, becomes the symbol of love.

4.) Acts of Service:

This love-language is expressed thru DOING; doing something you know will please the other person. The act will require thought, planning, time, effort, and energy such as cooking a meal, keeping a clean house, washing the car, mowing the grass, painting a room. When an activity they value is done with a postive attitude it express your love.

Gary Chapman points out that this may require a reexamination of stereotypes of roles. Out past experiences and programming can greatly impact our prospective, but if we truly want to express our love we may need to consider acts of service previously outside of our learned role.

**Note: "What we do for each other BEFORE marriage is no indication of of what we will do AFTER marriage."

5.) Physical Touch:

Physical touch is a powerful vehicle for communicating love. Holding hands, hugging, running your fingers thru their hair, kissing, embracing, and sexual intercourse are all examples of physical touch. Love touches can be simple and brief such as putting your hand on their shoulder or sitting close on the couch; other love touches may demand more time and attention such as massaging or intercourse. A slap in the face or, on the contrary, a hug can communicate your feelings to most people; but, if their primary love-language is touch it "shouts" your message. If touch is their primary love-language, nothing is more important than holding them as they cry. Your touch communicates you care.

Dialect of Sexual Intercourse: Note that having a strong desire for sexual intercourse does not necessarily make it the primary love-language.

Discover YOUR Primary Love-Language with these 3 Questions:

1.) What does your loved-one do or fail to do that hurts you most deeply? The opposite of what hurts you most is probably your love language.

2.) What have you most often requested of your loved-one? The thing you have most often requested is likely the thing that would make you feel most loved.

3.) In what way do you regularly express love to your loved-one? Your method of expressing love may be an indication that that would also make you feel loved.

Different dialects are the result of each individual being influenced by personality type (color), parents, perception, emotions, needs, and desires.

One of the clearest clues to a primary love-language is listening to the person's criticisms about behavior--"You don't appreciate me," "You never spend any time with me." "You never listen to me," "You never bring me flowers anymore," "Where were you when I needed you?" Often times these hurtful phrases are cries for love and attention-now you have a tool to translate them and thereby understand them.

Love is a CHOICE. It can not be coerced. Each of us must decide daily to Love.

This review is a mere highlight of the wonderful nuggets of valuable information contained in the book. The author has several versions more target to specific audiences, such a Married Couples, Men's Edition, of Children, of Teenagers, for Singles as well as other titles too numerous to mention.

JUST A FEW TEAM BRAGS THIS WEEK

1. Report from Cheryl Henderson. GO CHERYL!

Hi Pat,

I’ve already told Lynn most of what I’m excited about and she suggested that I share it with you. Now, let me see,

1. I’m proud of myself because I spoke to 4 people about Mentoring For Free and suggested that they download the e-book before they decide to work with any particular company. It was a natural conversation, without any stress (on me!) and made me feel good.

2. I have been using the skills that I’ve learned from Mentoring for Free and from you to make my personal life better while I grow my business. I’ve been working on listening better and trying to understand why someone else’s behavior really gets under my skin. The benefits that I’ve reaped so far was demonstrated this week during the midst of the chaos of my donations to the Salvation Army, cleaning the house in preparation for the new furniture and my husband. Because I have been working on listening more than speaking, my husband became quite Blue with me and told me a lot about himself and his personal demons. I know that this wouldn’t have happened in such a positive way without the skills that I’ve been studying over the past six months.

3. I forgot to mention this to Lynn, but I purchased a new domain name (I know I’m addicted – LOL!), but this time it’s for keeps. Both you and Lynn have been patiently explaining the need to brand myself. So, my new domain name is CherylCHenderson.com. I’m using it on Facebook (in case you’re there) and will be using it on my new advertisements. I have long avoided using my name because I was hiding my profession from others. Now, I’m more secure in the knowledge of how the business works and I’m not afraid to come out of the shadows.

4. I am reading the book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind – Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T. Harv Eker. It is really helping me delve deeper into my “financial blueprint” and understand some of the choices that I’ve made. This is helping me to revise my financial blueprint.

So, I guess I’m really excited about finally turning into the person that I always knew I could be if I gave myself the chance.

Thanks and lots of love,

CALL NOTES

LAURA LUCAS ON SUPERSOY

Product Highlight: Super Soy

What is soy?? The soybean is considered a superfood, low in saturead fat. A super or complete food because it contains fat, protien, and carbohydrates, as well as offers all nine of the essential amino acids, calcium, iron, phosphorous, magnesium, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin.

Why Soy?? Probably most popularized as a protein alternative for Vegetarians. Soy is the answer to several concerns: low cost, high protien, low-saturated fat, low-cholesterol, high-fiber, low-sodium, lactose-free source of calcium, and fewer potential toxins.

"Health" magazine (April 2007 issue) suggested, "Add one meatless meal a week. Less meat means less saturated fat--and fewer toxins like dioxin, DDT, and PCBS."

Benefits: Research is on-going that soy can benefit the human in body in various ways:

*assist with cardiovascular function

*support gallbladder function

*promote optimal blood sugar and cholesterol levels

*source of calcium to promote bone health

*anti-cancer effects

*promote cognitive function and brain healing

(sources included http://mayoclinic.com/health/soy/NS_patient-soy,

http://wikipedia.org/wiki/soybean,

More can be found by Googling "Soy" and other key words.)

Super Soy from Vitamark

Vitamark provides a high quality soy product that is processed using technologies that use "water" extraction and proper temperatures to insure the highest quality. Offer 4 non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) products: Super Soy Onion Broth, Super Soy Beef Strips, Super Soy Chicken Strips, Super Soy Ground Beef.

The beef and chicken Super Soy products are so named, not because they contain beef or chicken, but rather that thay have been texturized or shaped to resemble the name-sake. This is especially helpful for cooks not familiar with cooking with tofu or other soy products. This also assists in maintaining the "look" or visual impact of traditional dishes.

The Super Soy product comes in a dehydrated form, that requires reconstitution with liquid. You may simply use water, however flavoring the water prior to reconstituting is recommended; such as SuperSoy Onion broth, bullion, soy sauce, mustard powder, or teriyaki sauce to mention a few.

Like with most great recipes, a little experimentation

will find the right combination to please your palate.

Recipe for Beginners

Super-Soy Chili

1 cup dry super soy ground beef

1 cup hot water

1/2 tsp Super Soy Onion broth powder (or may use 1 beef bullion cube)

1 can Mexican chili beans

2 cans diced tomatoes (green chili optional)

2-3 8oz cans tomatoes sauce

1 small - medium onion diced

1 pkg Chili seasoning

1 small green pepper diced

salt/pepper/sugar to taste

Saute onion and green peppers in pot (use spray oil or olive oil to coat pot).

Heat water to boiling, dissolve onion broth powder (or bullion cube), stir in super soy, let sit a few minutes.

Once onion and pepper are cooked (beginning to soften), fluff super soy with fork then add to pot

Add chili beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and package of chili seasoning and stir thoroughly. Heat to mild boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 - 30 minutes. Add salt, sugar, or pepper to taste. (Note = sugar will cut the "tanginess" of the tomatoes).

I find this recipe pleases meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. In my experience, most meat-eaters don't even notice the difference.-Laura

***note this recipe is also good for camping or other situations where limited cold storage is a concern.

CALL NOTES FROM LYNN ROTHFUSS

10 COMMANDMENTS OF LEADERSHIP

In a Leadership Role one of the many benefits is becoming thick skinned, not hardened and bitter.

Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason, things just happen.

People act out of emotion, where they are stuck in their personal injury, a wound that they refuse to let go, and have yet to experience new personal growth in place of wounded ego.

NEVER TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY!

Keep on Keeping on! Sometimes leaders even take the blame giving the other person a chance to cool down and rethink situation.

I myself take the Spiritual Approach. The Universe is teaching the lesson to be learned.

This evening I'm empowering you! Giving you permission to take what ever I say or write and modify to fit your needs for you personally or your down-line.

The highest compliment I can receive is that that you take what I wrote and said and made it work for you.

And now ................The 10 Commandments of Leadership

1. People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered.......................Love them anyway!

2. If you do good.....people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives..........Do good anyway!

3. If you are successful....You win false friends and true enemies.........succeed anyway!

4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow........do good anyway!

5. Honesty and Frankness make you vulnerable........be honest and frank anyway!

6. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can get shot down by the littlest people with the littlest ideas.............think Big anyway!

7. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs.........fight for the underdog anyway!

8. What you spend years building, may be destroyed overnight..........build anyway!

9. People really need help, but may attack you if you "do" help them.........help them anyway!

10. Give the world the best you've got and you'll get kicked in the teeth..........give the best you've got anyway!

Enjoy the Poem
Who ever wrote it knew a thing or two about life!

I found this years ago, enlarged it poster size for my classroom.

As the examples of the poem appeared into my every day class room life, I would take the time to explain each commandment in detail.

It worked, the Universe allowed me to be present to see so many grow up into successful adults.

Marketing to Women
Lynn Rothfuss January 27,2008

Pat Crosby Leadership Hour

The 6th and 7th Stages of Marketing and promoting to Women

6th Stage- Don't close a women come to the agreement and commitment.

The women feels good about this commitment and now purchases the product at this point.

Remember the women wants a sense of belonging, feeling of being understood.

The first 5 stages your building a relationship. You never build a relationship and sell at the same time!

Leave asking for the commitment, to the 6th stage we are now in.

Here is a good sample to bring her to the agreement:

"I am certain that this is the best product for you. I just want to make sure you are happy with every thing we've covered."

"Is there anything further you need to go over or shall I move forward?"

"How do you want to order by phone or over the Internet. I have both now we can do this first order together."

As you walk the women through the process remind her that a good option is auto refill, saves time and the advantage of having product arrive before product runs out, that there is no interruption with continued results.

If the women prefers to do it another time, ask permission to follow up to make sure her experience was a good one and to help with any glitches that may arise.

7th Stage- Follow up and Follow Through

Research shows when you meet the expectations of women,you exceed the expectations of men.

Women are twice as likely as men to make referrals. Women spend 30% more time shopping.

Women also take longer, need more input, expect more attentive service, require more follow up!

Plan to be there beyond sale!!

• Send Thank You Note ( see below a sample of note)
• If you know birthdays, anniversary..... send thinking of you cards
• Send holiday cards just to keep in touch.( This one activity alone, gained 2,000 faithful customers for one salesman)
• See her again, follow up with another product. Up Sell her!
• Remember all this activity is tax deduct able, save receipts.
  

Example:

"Let me share with you the benefits of this product and see if there is a right fit for you. "

"I'd also like your feed back on how it's working for you - we have had so many great testimonies on this product."

A good sample is a few packets of Crave, Vita one, cookies and free product we get with every 100 BP on autoship.

Develop your marketing efforts in a manageable framework. Keep files and records to measure your impact and results.

Selling to a women: What it means to you:

• Reward of her business
• Her Loyalty
• Large number of referrals (Ask her for referrals, every person has a sphere of influence of 250 people)

Example of Follow Up letter:

Dear Ms. Crosby,

Thank you for the opportunity to provide my services with Vitamark Products. I am confident that our products and exceptional service will exceed your expectations. I'm devoted to the satisfaction of my customers, so please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.

I appreciate your referrals should you know of a loved one, neighbor, friend, or colleague who would benefit from my service.

Again thank you, Ms. Crosby. I will be in touch on a periodic basis, just to check in.

Sincerely,

Lynn Rothfuss

What Women To Target Market

• Minority Markets
• Ethnic Markets
• Baby Boomers
• Seniors
  

My suggestion is you may type this letter, but when addressing the envelope use blue ink to hand write name and address. This tiny detail, suggests a warmer approach.

The purpose of promoting and marketing to women is to increase your sales volume, which in turn pays you your commission bonus check every week. Our affiliates are also part of our customer base with 3-5% being builders, everyone else, the other 95% will also purchase your products. We get paid on total volume no matter how deep.
