SAY LESS TO MORE PEOPLE!

I heard this phrase - "say less to more people" - years ago & it actually took me a few years to really understand the importance of this phrase. We all tend to talk too much & oversell. We also "overload" people with literature, cd's, website info, etc. We want everyone to get involved with us - right? But if what we are doing seems complicated or if someone we're pitching thinks they have to "sell"...they run for the hills. That's where "say less to more people" comes in. Follow up is done in layers or exposures. Little hints of what your doing creates intrigue. Saying "taste this - grab your spot - we'll evaluate later to see what money you are leaving on the table!" is just the ticket for building as long as you follow-up & see it through. Talking to LOTS of peeps & sampling tons of people will guarantee your success - again - as long as you see it through & follow up. Always have TEN IN MOTION & focus on what IS happening, not on what IS NOT happening. Talking to more people everyday - consistently - will bring the numbers game to play & you will win! People think if they are talking to one person that they are doing the biz. And if that one person doesn't catch the vision or do anything they get discouraged. But if you are talking to lots of people (at least ten...TEN IN MOTION) & one "pops" ... you are excited. Mental shifts happen as soon as you have someone interested & excited in the business. That's where talking to more people is key. Use the Memory Jogger here at www.teamburgess.com. Download it & fill it in. You have left people out. Drink a Verve & hit the pavement. Plaster the area every week. Shake the bushes & someone will step up & make you millions. Just "say less to more people" & create personal momentum. The more you sample -the more people you will have to draw from. Be the leader in your area. Put your area on the map. Get off your office chair (or kitchen chair) & get out there & gather business cards & find new people. Some will - some won't - so what ... NEXT! Stay laser focussed on your goals. Work on your attitude. Drink your Verve & "say less to more people!"

Your Why?

When your "why" is strong enough, the "how to's" just don't matter. What does that famous success phrase really mean? It means that when you have a clear, defined, written-down reason for getting involved with the Vemma business ... a big-time BURNING DESIRE ... you'll make things happen without having to know everything about the product, the nuts & bolts of the compensation plan, detailed instructions with holding Tasting, etc. Instinctively, your laser focus & passion will create momentum. You just have to KNOW down deep in your gut what it is that will drive you to the top ... get you up earlier in the morning ... get you picking up that telephone ... get you talking to anyone & everyone within the sound of your voice about your product & opportunity - attending & holding meetings - participating on the weekly calls, etc. Your passion will give you consistency. It will keep you pumped & focused. It will drive you to "keep on swimming" as Dori in "Finding Nemo" stated over & over. It's doing the basics over & over everyday that suddenly pops! Calls start coming in. Enrolling becomes easier. And the money starts to flow. Maybe it's your desire to live on your terms - travel the world - be your own boss - drive luxury cars - send your kids to the best colleges. Whatever it is ... drive it deep into your heart & say out loud everyday ... "I'm Vervin!" Your "why" is the important step to success. Write it down now. Be specific. Read it every time you want to quit. Let it drive you to the top!

ShAkE THE BUSHES!

People from coast to coast are looking for a way to make extra money now days. College kids call it "side hussle." Whether it's working an extra part time job, eBaying items around the house or hosting a garage sale on weekends, everyone is looking for a way to generate income. Look around you. Listen to conversations. Take an interest in what's going on in your community. Get involved with networking groups, school programs with your kids, & volunteering opportunities. Take a night class, or a couple of aerobic classes. Your goal is to shake the bushes & find new people to talk to, get to know & share your fabulous product & opportunity with. Shaking the bushes is easy if you make it a point to spend one full day a week pounding the pavement, starting conversations & gathering business cards & stepping out of your comfort zone a little. But...don't leave home without 3-4 cans of cold Verve, your business cards & your Prospecting Binder. (Prospect Sheet can be downloaded here at www.teamburgess.com). Add to the mix a stack of brightly colored Plaster Plan flyers, tape or stick pins & a strategy of where you are going to go to plaster. I like bulletin boards in apartment buildings, offices complexes, laundromat's, WalMarts, community centers, etc. Get creative & plaster. As you look at that bulletin board you've discovered, plaster it with 7 to 11 flyers. Someone will pull one down because they'll notice it more than once. It will catch their eye & they will call you. I've added a new flyer for you to run. This one offers a FREE can of Verve. Since everyone wants FREE, they'll call you. Have the number they call (written boldly on your flyer) be a voice mail. When calling them back, make sure you have a plan of action in place for them. This can be an area "tasting", an Open House, an area meeting, or a day scheduled for Face-to-Face Appointments. All of these strategies are discussed with Listen & Learn at www.teamburgess.com. The goal is for you to just get out there & plaster the area so you can literally ShAkE THE BUSHES to find new people to add to your team. Happy shaking! (& Plastering!)

Plug In to Win!

Area meetings are packed & the momentum is incredible ever since the release of Verve in November 2007. Many people are realizing that Verve gives them a once in a lifetime chance to make some serious money - catching the wave of the energy drink boom & the magic of the Vemma formula encompassed within. There's "magic" here. Something I've not seen since the Cambridge Diet in the 80's. Becky Pritchard of NC attended the Irvine, CA meeting last week while here in California on vacation & could not believe how packed it was & felt the energy. It gave her new focus & determination to blast the business. Betty Gatlin attended the Little Rock meeting & left with more drive to anchor in her team. Meetings are going on everywhere. Our upline is holding meetings, trainings, gatherings from coast to coast. We need only plug in - take people - & let them catch the excitement & vision of what is going on with Vemma & Verve. It's thrilling! We are all given the chance to create an empire business under us that will pay forever - even if we walk away in a couple of years & are sitting on the beaches of the world with those we love. Building now fast & furious gives us freedom that you can only imagine. And, you must plug in & stay plugged in. If you "unplug"...you'll lose your focus, your drive, your enthusiasm & will miss the biggest wave to ever hit the MLM world! Never has there been a product so incredible, so clincially documented, so financially backed, so cutting edge as Verve. Plug in. Be on those Monday Team Calls. Participate in those Tuesday & Thursday Opportunity Calls. Look in your back office under EVENTS to see where meetings are being held & do whatever it takes to get there with your team. Organize a meeting in your area & plug in with a speakerphone in the room. Ken or I will call in to help you create the dream in the minds of your people. Just plug in guys. It will make things happen for you!
