From Danny Mac

KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a
new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register
4.
Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and
decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile
caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman
(maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love.

Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch
clock to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly
at him, took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card,
BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he
waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked
harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he
could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible.

He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't
afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter.
Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That
Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was
unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply
said, "Well, let's take the kids with us."

She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but
again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought
him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as
cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair.
He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome.

Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not
ordinary - - - he had a different mind set.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner
and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of
him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his
wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of
the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend
the rest of her life with.

A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her
children. Since then they have added two more kids.

So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out
girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is
currently employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona
Cardinals and has his Cardinals ae in the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super
Bowl.

Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an
ordinary person.

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl
XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the
Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! From Danny Mac

Monday Night Recruiting Call
Tips For Success + $400 Prize Up For Grabs!
Hey Team!

Business is ABSOLUTELY EXPLODING!

The next e-mail that you receive will be the invitation itself for you to be able to forward to prospects.

I want to use this e-mail to give you the necessary tips that you will need to be able to put guests on the webinar/conference call.
Don't forget... our goal is 700 people on the presentation Monday night. Last time we had around 450 on the call. These numbers are and will be reflected in your commission checks! Our prayer is that your checks grow to a level that surpasses your current goals.

We have a challenge for you, accompanied with a REWARD! Whoever has the most guests that attend this webinar, we will give away a $100 Visa Card and a John Maxwell DVD Leadership Curriculum Kit ($300 value). In all, the winner will come out of this one with $400 worth of winnings. At the end of the webinar, there will be one survey question which will state, "For guests only! Please provide the first and last name of the distributor who invited you to attend?"
Your guests will need to answer this question in order to be counted - no exceptions! There is no way that we can come back and tally these results any other way; therefore, we will rely solely on the survey answer at the end. What you can do on the promotional end of things is make sure that your guests know to be sure and fill in your name at the end of the webinar because it has relevance to an incentive that is being awarded. In order to win, one must have a minimum of 4 guests (one per household), attend the webinar. This contest is open to ALL Advocare distributors who choose to load up the call!


Here are some details:
1) 1st choice is to promote it as a webinar, for audio and video purposes
2) 2nd choice is to promote it as a conference call if someone can not log on to a computer
3) If you promote it as a conference call, you will have to give or e-mail your guest the phone number and the passcode for the listen only line.
4) You will want to make outbound phone calls in order to promote the call/webinar to your prospects in whom you absolutely want to be on this presentation
5) This call will be conducted two times on Monday night. Pick which specific call matches up to the time zone and lifestyle of your guest
6) This presentation will be conducted at 8:38 Central, and 8:38 Pacific
7) Once again...do not rely solely on the e-mail invitation to do the work for you. It will be worded for you, geared for the guest/prospect to read; however, you will WANT to make any necessary phone calls to insure that you get commitments to view and/or listen to the presentation


Here's what you can say:

After you contact your guest and establish your rapport...

"the reason that I called is...I wanted to ask you a serious question...if I could show you a way to earn an extra $40,000 to $50,000 of income in 2009 on a part-time basis, would you be willing to take a look?"

or... "the reason I called is...I want to ask you a serious question that could have a tremendous impact on your life...is that OK? If I had the ability to help you put an extra $50,000 in your pocket this year, would you be willing to listen to me?"

If you are brand new... "I'm excited about a call with an opportunity that is going to show me how to earn an extra $40K - $50K part time in 2009!...does that kind of additional income interest you as much as it does me?" (Answer) "Then, here's what I've got for you!...." this could lead them in to committing to watching/listening to the presentation.

You don't want to discuss anything else, nor engage in answering any of their questions until they have answered YOUR question. Until you get a "Yes" or a "No", stick to your first question...even if you have to repeat it for them. For example, "That's not what I asked you...I asked you if I could show you..." Then, you wait for an answer. All you need is a "Yes", or a "No".

If you get a "No" answer...that's OK! Move on. No means "Not Right Now." They may be your best distributor someday, especially if you don't try to convince them of something that they have no intention of listening to you at this point. If someone says "No", and you don't give them one ounce of information about Advocare, you will be amazed at how many will come back to you out of curiosity. Imaging if someone asked you that same question and you said no, and then that person who asked you moved on to another subject would not discuss the nature of that question with you since you said "No". Do you think that you would go to sleep that night?!!! Odds are, you would probably wind up calling your friend back and asking them what in the world they were referring to!

If you get a "Yes" answer...that's great. Don't over promote the call by giving you too much information. You might say something similar to this... "Great - that's what I thought would say! This is what I would like for you to do...Tuesday night, I would like for you to jump on a short, 15 minute web presentation to find out how people are taking a powerful home based business and earning $40K and $50K their first year on a part time basis. You are going to see and hear these people's stories first hand. Can you do that?"

Remember, they said "Yes"...that they would listen to you. This becomes your first step. They committed to hearing what you had to say, so don't butcher it up by trying to give them too much information on your own if you arent' confident about it. If you need something immediate, you can refer them to www.previewadvocare.com. Otherwise, be confident about POSTURING YOURSELF in such a way that THEY ARE GOING to get on the web presentation that you are sending to them!

With some, might have to remind them not to pre-judge what they are going to see or hear. Remind them that fortunes have been lost by people who have pre-judged opportunities before they stopped long enought to get the facts, and any other necessary information. Remind them also that fortunes are being made by people in the direct selling industry...and remind them that someone joins a business like yours every 6 seconds!

After the call:

THE FORTUNE IS IN THE FOLLOW-UP!

Make sure that you follow up with your guests and ask them what they thought. They will take you down one of two roads...
1) Let me try the products first. So, get them on products!
2) How would I get involved? What does it take to get involved? How do you get paid? This will require you to move in to action and deliver results that any normal, working sponsor or mentor will be able to deliver.

Here is the format of the call, so that you know what to expect:
1) Short welcome and intro--state the purpose of the call
2) Tell the McDaniel story in 1 minute or less to build rapport as moderator
3) Introduce 3 stories from 2008 who earned a $50,000 average income in 2008 during their first year. For example, one couple earned $39K in 2008 and have only been in the business since the 1st of April. That would give them a $51K average for their first year in the business!
4) These 3 stories will tell a 2 minute, packaged, compelling story! They will not be reading a slide. They will be telling their story as if they were talking to someone on a phone with no webinar.
5) I will show 4 powerful weight loss stories-- 3 of which you have not seen!
6) I will hit 4 -6 quick slides at the end to give a 10 second glimpse per slide of other people who are earning great incomes in Advocare that have been in for 2 years or longer. This will give the viewer/listener a picture of what could be in store for them down the road, in Advocare.
7) I will close the call with some vision to take action
8) The last slide will show them "What To Do Next", if they like what they saw/heard.

Diane and I wish you well. The Time is Now! It's already 2000 & Now!

Danny McDaniel

From Bob Ferngren

Training Tip: It takes an average of 5 sales call to EARN someone's business. 5 personal meetings. 50% percent quit after the 1st attempt. Only 10 percent will persist to get the sale. I guess that explains the next statistic: 90% of the income in sales is earned by 10% of the people...simple formula...persist without exception.

From Mike Ferro

WANTED TO SHARE THE AWESOME EXPERIENCE THIS MORNING. I have 2 of my sons friends here right now picking him up from school. BOTH are drinking a Spark and say what a difference it makes in their day. 1 of them actually told me that he will not be grounded for the 1st time in 2 years for his report card, he feels it's because I have given him 2 boxes of Spark!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then he gave me his fortune from his fortune cookie, it reads, "I LEARN BY GOING WHERE I HAVE TO GO." About 2 months ago I had a heart to heart talk with this boy with a single mom (who cares more about herself than her son) he hates school and wants to quit in the 7th grade. We spoke about LIFE and finally got to the real reason he has to go to school, pretty simple, BECAUSE HE JUST HAS TO. He has 2 choices, school or Juvenile Detention. We spoke about doing things in life that sometimes you just don't want to do, but the consequences outweigh the minimal effort it took to JUST DO IT. How cool was this morning!!!

Well done Kim


Hey everyone we'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our family, Amira Azra Buttar. She was born at 1:02 am on 1/14/09, weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 inches long.

Kim rocked the house (again) with a 15 minute delivery and was 9 cm dialated when we got to the hospital. She's officially the "queen of pain"!

Amira is at least 1 pound heavier than her older brother and sister when they were born. Kim gained the least amount of weight during this pregnancy, had the most energy out of all 3 pregnancies and the best attitude out of all 3 pregnancies. She was also SUPER consistent with her Advocare product regimen. Coincidence?

Thank you for all the nice emails, texts, voicemails and facebook things; we both appreciate it.

Tuesday Night Recruiting Call
Tips For Success
Hey Team!

We are back from Bora Bora, and we are extremely excited about the new year. Don't forget... Tuesday night will be a pivotal night for all of you who are working Advocare as a business. The next e-mail that you receive will be the invitation itself for you to be able to forward to prospects. I want to use this e-mail to give you the necessary tips that you will need to be able to put guests on the webinar/conference call.
