THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POOR AND BROKE...


Being broke is a temporary condition.

Being poor is a mental attitude.

There is no shame in being broke...but to accept being poor is to resign from life."

BACK IN THE SADDLE...

Well, the move went as well as any move can be expected go. Lots of confusion, disorganization, hard work, and aching muscles.

I am back in the saddle again... back online, and cranking. While I was in the throes of the move I managed to sponsor two more Seasilver distributors into our SuccessWithSeasilver Team. :-) Nice to be building again!

According to last weeks Corporate Conference Call all the past bonus checks have been paid, new literature is shipping, a new video is on the horizon warehouses are stocked, and new product is flying out the door.

We are close to full reconciliation of all issues and the future looks GREAT!

Over the next few weeks you will see a lot of new content appearing on the www.MaxxMLM.com site so make sure you check in every few days and read the new materials and tap into the new resources. We're "ramping up" quickly now as we are headed into the best time of the year for MLM activity and sponsoring. The kids are back in school, cooler weather is hitting the U.S. mainland, folks are spending more time indoors and on the internet. The end of the year holidays are just around the corner...and folks are needing more money. Corporate downsizing is still on a rampage... and people realize that "if it is to be...it is up to ME".

All in all... we have a lot to be thankful for. I for one am re-energized, re-newed, & re-invigorated, and totally enthusiastic about Seasilver!!! This is going to be a fantastic ride over the next few months.

How to get prospects to join 10 minutes before your
meeting starts... or on the telephone...by "Big Al" Schriter

One of the most requested forms from my SuperSponsoring Workshops was the form I used to get prospects pre-sold, leaning forward, and wanting desperately for the meeting to offer a way for extra income.


Many prospects who filled out the form wanted to join even before the opportunity meeting started.


I think you could even use this form on telephone calls. Simply ask the prospect the three simple questions on the
form, and wait for the prospect to say:


"I sure hope your opportunity can solve my problem."


Would you like a copy of this form to use for your business?

HURRICANE... ALL CLEAR..:-)

WE DODGED THE BULLET... after a tense night of watching the pathway of Hurricane Jimena alter itself several times, we ended up with nothing more than some heavy rains and winds. The brunt of the storm slid further south than expected. Thanks for all your messages of concern.

HURRICANE ON THE BIG ISLAND?....

I have received a number of concerned calls about the prospects of a hurricane hitting the Big Island.

First, let me thank each of you who has shown concern for my safety and well being... it is very heart warming.

As it stands now hurricane Jimena is headed straight for the Big Island with sustaining winds of 100+ miles per hour. This could change directions or speeds very quickly so it is really too early to tell what, if any, problems this might generate for those of us who live here. If it does hit, and we go offline, it could be days before we are back online.

For those of you who would like to track the storm online you may do so at: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/pr/hnl/cphc/pages/cphc.shtml

NEW FAX RULES COULD CREATE PROBLEMS FOR MARKETERS...

Network Marketers shoud be aware of new fax regulations scheduled to take effect August 25th, 2003. Under the new regulations, a business will be required to have a signed permission form on hand prior to faxing a recipient. Penalties for violating these new regulations range from $500 to $11,000 per fax.


If you market by fax, please take these new regulations into account, and revise their marketing plans accordingly.


The American Society of Association Executives is leading a grassroots campaign to stop these new regulations from taking effect. For further information, please visit the link below:

SEASILVER ALCOHOL CONTENT...

According to an answer that I got regarding the alcohol content of Seasilver (attributed to Bela Berkes), the alcohol content of Seasilver is .76 percent. That is... slightly over 3/4th of one percent.

Consumers suffering from the disease of alcoholism are cautious about any product which contains over 1 percent alcohol. This puts Seasilver about 25% UNDER the one percent concern level.

Remember, that we cannot make medical claims for Seasilver... so we can not, and should not, state that Seasilver is safe for alcoholics.

What we can say is that Seasilver contains ".76 percent alcohol". The consumer will have to make his/her own decision regarding the use of the product.

EXCITING NEW SALES AIDS FOR SEASILVER...AVAILABLE NOW...

Here are some excerpts from the F.A.Q. regarding NEW marketing materials:


"We are in the process of completing new marketing materials - Product Brochure; Success System brochure; and 44 page 4-color photo essay booklet entitled "Decade of Dedication". These materials will be available the week of August 4 - samples will be sent out to all Business Builders and we will be able to immediately fill all orders. For now, these materials are the only marketing materials approved by the Company. If you ordered sales materials from the Company on or after April 1, we will automatically replace these materials with new ones at no charge. No action is required by you- we will do it automatically."

" The New Video Tour of the Company's facilities- "Feel the Spirit"- will be available for purchase next week. The Company is also developing radio and television commercials that will be available to distributors in the next 30 days. "

NEW SEASILVER CORPORATE F.A.Q...

As promised in last Tuesday's corporate conference call, Seasilver has posted a F.A.Q. for Business Associates on the corporate website. Here is the direct url: http://www.seasilver.com/corp/faq_ba.html

I strongly recommend that every distributor read the F.A.Q. in it's entirety. There is some very positive information in it.

SPONSORING JUST ONE PERSON PER MONTH...

Here is some dramatic food for thought on the sponsoring process.... Can you sponsor one person on your first level every month for a year? Can you train your team how to duplicate that effort?

If so... you will end the year with over 4,000 in your downline.

Now... carry this out a bit further... if all 4,000 of your downline are case qualified, how much do you think you will be making at the end of the year?

How simple can it get folks?

FEEL + FELT + FOUND ...

TRAINING: One of the smoothest and most disarming methods of handling a prospects concerns (objections) is the simple use of the FEEL... FELT... FOUND... dialogue. It can be applied to almost any situation. Indeed, it is a universal technique used by some of the top salespeople and negotiators throughout the world. Here's how it goes:


The customer has just voiced a concern about business opportunity scams or pyramid schemes... or any one of a hundred other possible concerns...

"John, I know how you FEEL.

I FELT that way once myself.

But, I FOUND something very different here... I'm not saying it is for you... but it is something I have lost sleep over just thinking about the possibilities...and I would like your opinion of it...."

(Note: The FEEL and FELT phrasing is always the same as above... the FOUND dialogue is customized to the situation.)

I once overheard an old mentor of mine using this exact technique with his teenage daughter and it worked like a dream. You see... this simple technique can be used in almost all human interactions. It is especially useful when making presentations... because it is such a logical and un-emotional method of directing a conversation to go where you want it to go.

Try it... you'll be amazed at how effective it is.

NEW SEASILVER LITERATURE...

New literature is being produced for Seasilver and is expected to be available on or about Monday August 4th, 2003. The new booklet is a multi-page, four-color, piece. Each distributor will be mailed a copy of the new material.

According to the information stated on this evenings corporate call, anyone who has ordered company sales literature in the past few months will have that literature replaced with the new materials. It will be shipped automatically on the basis of sales records from the company.

The company instructs that all old sales literature must be either returned to the company... or destroyed. Do NOT use any of your old brochures, or other literature.

F.A.Q. TO BE POSTED AT CORPORATE WEB SITE...

A new F.A.Q [Frequently Asked Questions] page will be loaded to the corporate website [ www.seasilver.com ] in the next day or so. It will cover many of your questions regarding the new operational standards, processes, and policies that govern the Seasilver re-start.
