Personal Franchise Business Plan

During your initial phase it is critical that you take action as outlined in this guide.
Success always comes to those who are coachable and willing to take action on what they have learned. You can question things later. Right now youre brand new and we want you to have the most success. What you read here are proven and time-tested best practices that work. So we ask you to complete the steps in this plan exactly as described, and then you will have the best opportunity for success.

Natureline business doesnt mean that you cant earn an income greater than that of many of the top entrepreneurs in the world.

If you run your business like a hobby - youll get a hobby income.
But if you run it like a serious business and you can earn a serious income. Dont talk to anyone about your new business until your finish this training. Let your upline or the tools do the talking. Its better if you dont try to explain Natureline until after you know what to say, where the pitfalls are and what tools to use in the process. For now, just write the name and contact information of anyone you think of as you explore this system. There are several things necessary for success. But probably of greater interest are some of the things many people think they needbut actually dont. Next are five categories you may believe are necessary for your successbut actually prevent you from reaching it.

The Rules
This truly is a simple business and yes, you too can be successful. One of the keys to your success is to be coachable and to follow this simple duplicatable process and help others do the same thing. Though we know how excited you must be starting up in business for yourself do NOT try to reinvent the wheel. Our products are exciting and the business opportunity is fantastic but you do not need to know a great deal about either. If you learn nothing else learn this:

Keep it simple follow the process!

The process in this plan is the same process used by every leader who has experienced any level of success in this industry. This is not a Business Plan as determined by Natureline; it is a summary of lessons learned by leaders in network marketing. It is simple and it works! Every time! Do it, follow the process and do it on a big scale and help others to do the same and you can achieve anything.

Rule 1: Follow the Process Rule 2: Follow Rule 1


Please take your business seriously. Just because you havent invested tens of thousands of dollars into your

The Five Things You DONT Need to be Successful


1. Education or Credentials
Thousands of people have been successful in Natureline without the benefit of college degrees. 5

Personal Franchise Business Plan Some of our top leaders didnt even finish high school! Since Personal Franchising is so unlike other businesses, the rules are different here. Its quite possible, actually quite common, to build a large successful organization without having any credentials or degrees. If you have a degree, or even a few, great! Just know that this is not a requirement for success with Natureline. you just cant be a prophet in your own hometown; which is why you will learn how to use third party tools later. Other times you will find close friends or families with three generations in the business and it provides a wonderful opportunity to work together toward success. You dont need the approval of anyone, except yourself. Sometimes even your spouse or significant other may not approve of your network marketing business. This is actually a frequent initial response, but weve seen thousands of people who have built huge businesses without the help of their spouse. However, dont be surprised once you qualify for a free trip, cruise, or earn your first big check, if they dont come on board enthusiastically and things really take off!

2. Experience
You do not have to have any experience to reach success with Natureline. In fact you could argue that those who come in with no pre-conceived ideas or bad habits, and just follow the system to learn quicker. Your sponsorship line has already hacked through the jungle and created a path for you to follow. They have learned the best practices for business building, and discovered the mistakes to avoid. By using the experience of those who come before you, you are able to reach success much faster. We have put a step-by step system in place, developed the infrastructure to support the system, and created a training program on how to get the best results from both of these. We already have people who have reached the prestigious ranks, even though they came into Natureline with no experience. If you are teachable, not afraid of work and willing to follow the system, you can reach success with Natureline.

You dont need the approval of anyone, except yourself.

3. Approval of Others
One of the sad truths of life is that not everyone is ready for success. Of course most everyone will tell you that they want to be successful. But unfortunately some people are content to be professional victims and make excuses why success wont work for them. Dont be surprised to find that some of your friends and family members will not join the business, and may even disparage you for doing so. Its unfortunate, but some people feel the need to attack those who are striving for more out of life. After all, if you reach success, it takes away their excuses for why it wont work for them. They will regale you with horror stories of people who tried other businesses and failed, and give you all kinds of reasons why Natureline wont work for you. Its best to give these well-meaning souls a wry smile, thank them for their input, be strong in your own self resolve, and stay focused on what is right for you. Sometimes, the hardest presentation you ever give might be to a family member or best friend. Sometimes

One may possess amazing skills and talents but without perseverance he or she cannot make use of any one of those. 4. Cheap Advice
Oftentimes a new team member will get involved with Natureline and receive well-meaning advice from friends who have never built a network in their lives. If you want to know how to fly airplanes, you must get advice from an expert pilot.

If you want to climb Mt. Everest, talk to someone who has already done it.
6

Personal Franchise Business Plan We dont recommend you quit your job or business to start Natureline. Rather we suggest you keep doing what youre doing, but carve out ten to 15 hours a week and begin working part-time. It means making a shortterm sacrifice (like skipping some TV, movies or other things for a while), so you can reap the benefits for many more years later. This is the easiest way that your people will be able to succeed as well and duplicate within their team. Now notice we used the term work. For you to have success with Natureline, you must be willing to work. And weve found that working at least ten hours a week is necessary to get enough traction to launch your business. Of course this time investment does not apply to those who are simply interested in using the Natureline products and marketing them to their friends, neighbors and relatives. If your primary focus is the small business or retailing model, you can do that in only a few hours a month. Just a small amount of time can produce the results you want.

Likewise, if you want to build a Natureline business, look at your sponsorship line and find someone who has already accomplished this. Those are the people to seek out for advice. Never take financial advice from broke people! The best coaches are successful people.

5. Perfection
Dont make the mistake many beginners make, which is to think that they cant do anything until they have tried every single product, read every scrap of literature, and memorized every aspect of the compensation plan. Our system is set up so that you can study, act, and teach simultaneously. You earn as you learn, and you learn as you teach. Its a powerful way to build a strong team rapidly. The most important thing is to get into action, because how fast you start is going to determine the speed of your team.

The Five Things You DO Need to be Successful


Now that weve talked about what you dont need to be successful with Natureline, lets explore what is required to reach the higher levels of accomplishment and rewards in the business:

If you are reading this business plan, were assuming youre interested in the big business model of building a large network and creating leverage.
For you to have success with Natureline, you must be willing to work and persevere. And weve found that working at least ten hours a week is necessary to get enough traction to launch your business.

2. A Burning Desire
The truth is, were all busy. Everyone is using all 24 hours of each day already. To reach success with Natureline, you must substitute business building for something you are currently doing in those ten or 15 hours a week. And to do that long-term, you must have a reason for doing so. You need a burning desire that you are passionate about, that will excite you, and keep you focused on reaching it. This desire will keep you working, even when things dont go as perfect as you would like. That desire could be a bigger home, a new

1. Ten to 15 Hours a Week


To effectively build your business, you will need at least ten hours a week to work the business. With Natureline just launching internationally, you may want to consider stretching closer to 15.

This is the one chance you will ever have in this early stage, so you want to make the most of it.

Personal Franchise Business Plan Lamborghini, firing your boss, or giving a million dollars to a worthwhile charity. Or all of the above! o Resist the urge to create new tools and try other methods. Use the system and tools provided.

3. A Positive Attitude
Getting your head right is the most important thing you will do early on in your career with Natureline. Daily self-development time will keep you on the right track. Enthusiasm and a positive attitude are more powerful than any knowledge you learn or any skills you develop. There is a lot of skepticism and negativity in the world today. Youll find no shortage of people who will tell you why this business wont work. Dont let the expectations of someone who has given up on their dreams cloud your chance to achieve your own. These people are the dream stealers and they live lives of quiet desperation. Often brand new team members with no training or experience build a group of 20 or 30 people their first month. They dont do this with skill, knowledge, or techniquethey just muscle it through with sheer, unadulterated enthusiasm. They show excitement for Natureline and that excitement duplicates with their prospects and team members. Approach this adventure with the positive attitude it deserves. Dont try it. Make your mind up, jump in, and do it!

5. To Take Action
The biggest downfall new people make is wasting time getting ready to get ready. There are only two things you get paid for in Natureline: retailing product and creating new distributors. Your 10 to 15 hours per week must be filled with only these two activities. If not, you will quickly find yourself sitting around imagining possible reasons why your Natureline business wont work. And if you convince yourself of that, thats exactly what will happen. The most successful people in Natureline got into immediate action, and began to create immediate results. This begins a powerful cycle of duplication, and continues through many levels in your organization. It has often been said that knowledge is power. Unfortunately, knowledge is only the potential for power. Knowledge plus action is where the real power comes from. If youre waiting for the perfect plan the perfect plan is to take action. Your sponsorship line, the tools and the system will prevent you from making any serious mistakes. Follow their lead and get into action. Now lets get started!

4. A Willingness to Be Coached
Natureline provides a new and unique approach to business. You will discover that the rules are different here. Things that work in the sales or corporate arenas dont necessarily work in Natureline. Keep an open mind and listen to your sponsorship line. They have discovered what works and the best practices to follow. What you will learn is a step-by-step system on how to create the largest business in the fastest amount of time. The most important criteria in all this is duplication. It is important that you resist the urge to create new tools and try other methods. Otherwise success becomes about your skills and it is harder for your people to duplicate. Here we all follow the same system, which makes it work better for everyone. o o Keep an open mind and listen to your sponsorship line. The most important criteria in all this is duplication.

Remember, you only get paid for retailing product and creating new distributors!
You shouldnt and dont have to memorize all the product applications, be able to present, or understand all the intricacies of the compensation plan to get started. We have business building tools to help you with all that. You just have to follow the simple steps in this business plan and learn as you go along.

Personal Franchise Business Plan

Create a Game Plan


As you start your Natureline business, here are some questions to help you create a game plan that works for you:

What kind of monthly income are you looking for? ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ How many hours per week are you willing to commit to the development of that income? ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ How many months would you be willing to work those hours in the development of that income? ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Why is that level of income important to you?
o o o o o o o o o o o Pay down debt? Manage your current monthly obligations? Pay for your childrens education? Drive a better car? Live in a better house? Travel and see the world? To prove something to yourself or others? Give more to the people or causes that are important to you? Quit your current job and work for yourself? Create a better retirement plan? Have more fun?

What would you do if you had that kind of monthly income from your Natureline business? ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________

Now that youve given some thought to what youd like to accomplish with your Natureline Personal Franchise business, lets begin your training to make it happen!

Personal Franchise Business Plan

BUILD THE FOUNDATION


Enrollment Activation Autoship Business Ready Be Prepared Self-Improvement

Personal Franchise Business Plan

Build the Foundation


The three things below should have already been done when you enrolled with your sponsor. Please double check to make sure they are done already and check off the box to the left of each completed item. If an item is not completed STOP and complete it before moving on. Contact Natureline Support or your sponsor for help or to answer any questions.

We recommend strongly that you have a monthly Autoship of at least 100 PV.
It is critical that you use the products yourself and can testify to how amazing they really are. We often refer to this as your Natureline story. This is your personal testimonial of what the Natureline products have done for you personally. Many people think of it as their rent for their new business. This is not the case. It is an investment in your business and it makes sure that you have something to share with prospects, family and friends, as well as to sell to retail customers. Dont think of this as an additional expense, because that is really not the case. Many of the products you use are actually transfer buying for items you would have paid retail for from stores. Our products can actually save you money on your grocery bill. Always buy from your own store, and never have a Brand X product in your home that Natureline provides.

Step 1: Enrollment Completed


This could have been done online, or you might have entered your information on a paper application and given it to your sponsor. As long as you have a User ID and password, then this is done. This means you have a spot locked in the structure, and your positioning is assured. Check it off; youre on your way!

Step 2: Activation Order Placed


This is your first order of the Natureline products. As a big business builder, this should always be the Natureline Gold Activation Pack or Star Pack. This gives you a good cross section of the Natureline products and qualifies you to earn in all aspects of the compensation plan.

The products you use will actually save you money and benefit your health; not to mention the benefits to the environment. Step 4: Business Ready
New customers are interested in purchasing their product now so they can begin enjoying the benefits, not later when your items arrive. A persons excitement about what you have to offer (product or business) wears off quickly if youre not prepared. Do not be caught empty handed. Do you have sufficient product and sales aids on hand to allow you to conduct your business effectively? This is why it is important to start with the Gold Pack as it includes enough products for personal use as well as to share with customers, family and friends. It also includes DVDs as well as websites which create your online presence instantly. On a monthly basis you should be on Autoship to maintain your inventory and ability to do business instantly as well as qualify for commissions. Business cards, DVDs and brochures can be ordered in your Natureline Back Office. Contact your upline or support@naturelinesolutions.com if you have any questions.

Starting with the Gold Pack as a minimum means you have enough products for your own use, samples to provide prospects, and extra inventory you can loan to your new team members while they are waiting for their own Gold Packs.
It is essential that as a business builder you start or upgrade to this level. If you are not at the Gold level contact your sponsor and discuss upgrading immediately.

Step 3: Autoship Set Up


One of the most important aspects of your business is the Autoship program. This is a program that ensures you never run out of product, and are always qualified for any commissions and advancements you earn. It is the engine that keeps your business operating smoothly. It also allows the company to forecast demand to better ensure that products are in stock and available.

Step 5: Be Prepared
The key to developing an effective, incomeproducing Natureline Organization is being professional. That includes being prepared at all times to answer questions and provide information to any interested parties. Below is a checklist of items you should have with you at all times in a simple three ring binder or similar organizational tool.

Reading or listening to books for a minimum of 15 minutes per day should be one of your top priorities as you develop yourself and your business. Youll be surprised at how quickly and drastically the ideas in these books will influence, not just your business, but your daily life for the better. You can find most of these books in your Natureline Back Office or at most large online book retailers (Amazon.com etc.).

Step 6: Self-Improvement
There is no habit you can develop that will provide you with more benefits, better performance, and a broader understanding, than maintaining an ongoing selfimprovement program through books and audio CDs. The following is a list of recommended books for anyone who is serious about the business and their future. Many of these are also available on audio CD. o o o o o o o o o o How to Build a Multi-Level Money Machine, Randy Gage Beach Money, Jordan Adler Being the Best You Can Be in MLM, John Kalench The Slight Edge, Jeff Olson Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie The Greatest Miracle in the World, Og Mandino Success University, Og Mandino See You at the Top, Zig Ziglar Success through a Positive Mental Attitude, W. Clement Stone & Napoleon Hill

Dress for business! T-shirts, shorts or baseball caps are definitely not recommended. Dressing professionally creates a powerful first impression that this is a serious opportunity. If you need guidelines for appropriate business dress, read John Molloys Dress for Success.

Personal Franchise Business Plan

Step 4: Team Up With Your Upline


This is an extremely critical step because it gives you the opportunity to experience the enrollment process first-hand by watching and learning from your sponsor. Establish a time when both of you can meet to review this process and begin working your contact list. Schedule a minimum of 2 hours for your first session. Ideally, this should be within the first 48 hours of becoming an Independent Distributor. This will be the first in a series of sessions where you will be helped to set your goals, prioritize your business activities, and master the competencies necessary to create a business that has a solid foundation for earning income. Leverage your sponsors experience in order to assist you in the initial phase of building your business. If your sponsor is new in the business, work with your upline (your sponsors sponsor) as is necessary.

be committing to the business. Ask them the following questions: 1. What would you like the business to provide for you? 2. How much would you like to earn per year? 3. How soon would you like to be earning that amount? (6 months or 6 years?) 4. How many hours per week are you prepared to put into your business to get these results? 5. Are you serious about your goals? Make sure that your new Distributor commits to writing down all of their short-range and long-range goals on their own time right away after your meeting. It is very important after theyve written down their goals, that they share their goals with you so that you can support their efforts and hold them accountable. This will create a very powerful bond and commitment for both of you. Team up with your new Distributor and schedule some time to start working together with 3-way calls or 2-on1 meetings with their prospects. Initially, you should schedule blocks of time over the next 30 days to help get off to a good start. This will give them the guidance they need and the confidence that you are there to support their efforts. For most people, their first 90 days in the business will have a dramatic impact on their future success. Your objective should be focused on helping your new Distributors achieve a minimum income of $500 a month within that period. This amount represents the psychological threshold they need to break through, for them to see the value of their efforts and their true potential over the next 24 to 36 months.

Your New Members


As soon as your prospect has decided to join the business, make a firm appointment for your next meeting within 48 hours. Allow a minimum of 2 hours for this orientation session. This should be done face-toface whenever possible, however in cases of long distance sponsoring, it can also be done effectively over the phone. If you are new yourself contact your upline and have them participate in the process. This is the most significant contribution you can make to your new Distributors future with Natureline. Schedule this immediately! If your new Distributor is reluctant to schedule the time necessary for this coaching session, question their intentions. Let them know that this is essential for them to get started on the right foot. Make sure that they have reviewed as much of the company information as possible, on their own time, have a copy of this Business Plan and they have written down all of their questions. Have them bring their initial prospect list with at least 20 names to the meeting, as well as their agenda (calendar/daily planner). Start the meeting by helping your new Distributor establish realistic goals based on the time that they will

Going Professional means doing all ten actions, not just the ones you like. It also takes a substantial investment in yourself. But you will discover that the people who invest in Going Professional reach dramatically higher levels of success than those who dont. As a leader committed to empowering othersyou have a responsibility to Go Professional yourself, and create that culture in your organization.

Most prospects, family and friends will want to hear what the products did for you and what the reason you are excited about this business is. Now, if you just registered you may not have received your products yet or you are still testing them out. While you work on your product story use the story of your enroller or his or her enroller. Once you have your story ready be sure to develop it with your enroller so you can share it quickly with everyone you meet. The story should be no longer than 30 seconds.

The Ten Professional Commitments of a Natureline Leader


I ________________ am making a commitment to my sponsor, Natureline, and most importantly myself, to Go Professional and pursue the Natureline opportunity with the fullest intention of success. I am approaching my business with a professional business mindset. I recognize that my first six months are a learning experience and that the Natureline opportunity is a two- to five-year plan. So I will work at least ten hours a week on my business for one year and then evaluate it and my own performance and growth accordingly. I hereby commit that I will:

Give them your daily/weekly goals and talk at least once a week.

5. Expose the Natureline business to at least ____ people a day, ____ days a week.
You cant control enrollments, but you can control how many people you offer the chance to evaluate Natureline.

If there is not one in your area, start one.

7. Work diligently on the My Natureline Business Plan with all my Personal Enrollees. 8. Attend and Participate in all the appropriate Corporate and Team Events.

Your Why?
Before getting started in your new business it is important to stop and think about why you are embarking upon this new venture. It has been stated that if you do not know the reason WHY, it doesnt matter HOW. When you determine why, any setbacks or disappointments will be shrugged off as mere speed bumps or minor inconveniences along the road to success. If you dont know why you are involved in this business, those setbacks will loom as insurmountable obstacles.

hundred dollars to cover your car payment? Or do you want to develop complete financial freedom? To reach your goals, you must first determine what they are then set a timetable to reach them. Now that you have your Why? create a more specific wish list, a list of your needs and desires, no matter how unattainable or unrealistic they may seem right now. Next, turn wishing into doing by converting these wishes into goals. When setting your goals, they must be:

Specific. This will provide you with a clear idea of what


actions need to be taken.

Ask yourself, If money were no object, what would I be doing with my life?
Some examples of Why?: o o o o o o o To spend more time with family and friends To travel more To donate to charity To buy a mansion To be a jet setter To pay for my home faster To supplement my income

Measurable. Your goals must be measurable so you


will know when they are achieved.

Challenging. They must make you stretch in order to


achieve them; inspire you enough to get out of your comfort zone and grow. And, they must be realistic to avoid discouragement.

Time-Sensitive. The goals must have an achievable


completion time or date.

Meaningful. They are your goals, so the achievement


of them should be personally rewarding to you.

Remember, this can be anything and everything! Success is the progressive realization of predetermined worthwhile goals. Few people have achieved happiness and success without goals. Free time for personal or family interests, independence in business, and financial freedom may be some of them. Everything that you now have in your life you first created in the form of thought. Now is the time to think about and decide on your personal goals with Natureline, so you can begin to progressively realize them.

In Writing. The difference between goals and mere


wishes or hopes is writing your goals down on paper. Break your goals down into Long-Range Goals (2 to 5 years); Short-Range Goals (6 months to 1 year); and Immediate Goals (30-90 days).

Sharing your goals with your sponsor as well as your family or a supportive friend often makes achieving them even more rewarding.

Setting Your Goals


You must decide what you want to do with your Natureline business. Are you just interested in getting your products for free? Are you looking to make a few 20

Long Range Goals


Think about where you intend to be financially, 3 to 5 years from now. Determine your Personal Net Worth, what it will consist of (cash, real estate, stocks, gold, etc.), and establish the specific month and year you will achieve it. Now using the goal writing guidelines on the previous page (Specific, Measurable, Challenging, Time-Sensitive, Meaningful, and In Writing) create a few (3-5) Long Range Goals. _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________

Complete Your Prospect List of at Least 100 Names


This is one of the most important steps. Do not skip it and dont do it halfway this will make your business in the first few days if done right.
Just start writing down the names of everyone you know. Dont try to prejudge: Well, he makes a lot of money; he wont be interested, Shes not a sales type; she wouldnt look at this, etc. A mistake like that can cost you tens of thousands of dollars down the road. So do not prejudge, just write down the names. On your list of 100 there will likely be one or two 8 Stars, three or four 4 Stars and numerous Stars and above. There are also likely to be 20 or 30 people who are not looking for a business opportunity at the moment, but will want to use the products as a retail customer. We dont know whos whoand its almost never who you think it is. Begin with the memory joggers list. Then look through the business cards youve collected. Go through your address book and your holiday card list. Finally, skim through the business telephone directory and scan the occupations as a reminder. Start with accountants, barbers and contractors, and go to x-ray technicians and zoologists. Dont make the classic mistake of thinking of five or six people who you think will be interested and stopping there. You will certainly be disappointed. Make sure you get down at least 100 names so we can let people sort themselves into the right categories. To reach the heights reached by some of the best in this industry you will have to sort through hundreds of people to find a handful of true leaders and entrepreneurs.

Prospect Memory Jogger


Use the Memory Jogger on the next few pages to create your prospect list off 100 names. You will need their phone number and/or e-mail address to start.

People you pay regularly:


Make a list of the people you pay on a regular basis, such as every week or every month. For starters, list your grocer, service station owner, dry cleaner, hair stylist, personal trainer, etc.

People you pay occasionally:


This list might include your pharmacist, plumber, decorator, clothing store clerk, furniture dealer, carpet cleaner, etc. Include anyone you buy from now and then.

Professional people:
Think of the professional people you deal with frequently, such as doctors, attorneys, dentists, clergy, teachers, etc.

Organizations you belong to:


What about the church, temple, or synagogue you go to, the clubs you belong to, and the association meetings you attend?

Friends, neighbors & relatives:


This is a huge list, probably numbering at least 100 or 200 by itself.

School classmates:
What about the people you went to school with? Dont forget any continuing education, trade schools, or professional schools that you may have attended. With the Internet, all these contacts are now just a click away.

Previous Jobs:
In your last job you have a circle of friends and acquaintances with whom you used to work. Also, you must know people whom you used to think of as competitors, or who were in a competing business at the time.

Personal Franchise Business Plan

Massive Action
The most important thing you should do now is get Massive Action going! You will want to expose as many people as you can to the Natureline opportunity using the prospecting tools we have available. Understand that you do not need to be selling the products or opportunity. Let the tools do the talking. If your lips are moving, they should be directing someone to a tool. With each tool exposure, you should have a scheduled follow-up within 12 24 hours. The way to get started fast is to conduct what we call Massive Action. This is when you get into serious action and offer the opportunity to look at Natureline to a large group of people quickly. The goal of is to get at least 80-100 candidates for the business into your prospecting funnel. Please understand that this doesnt mean you have to sponsor 80 or 100 people, or even make that many presentations. Just that you have to give them an opportunity to look at Natureline to see if they are interested. Its important that you get a large number of people looking at the business, to ensure you get enough business builders to get into traction right away. It sounds ironic, but it is actually easier to build the business fast, than it is to build slowly. When you start fast, you create excitement and momentum that spreads down your group. And by getting into a positive cash flow quickly, you set the tone for your team and create an exciting demonstration of success for prospects. Natureline is perfect for everybody but everybody is not perfect for Natureline. Some people are not looking for a business opportunity right now. Others want an opportunity, but arent willing to do the work. Yet others will become product customers, but not do the business. Its all good. We just need to sort them out. The best approach is a multi pronged one, creating lots of traction. Heres how to have successful Massive Action

Step 1: Home Private Business Reception


The foundation of recruiting is Private Business Receptions (PBRs). These are informal get-togethers at your home, where you can invite the key people you would like on your team to preview the opportunity. They are very simple to do, because basically you just welcome people and make the presentation. It is a very friendly, non-threatening way for candidates to be introduced to Natureline. For step one of your Massive Action, you should schedule your Grand Opening PBRs. Get the first one scheduled within the next three to four days, and then two or three more several days apart. Having a series of a few like this will allow all of your prospects the flexibility to find a date that works for them. It also ensures that you enroll enough team members to uncover a few serious people who will run with the business in a big way. Check with your sponsor to see if he or she wants to attend in person, or call in to your first event or two. Your goal is to complete at least three PBRs in your first seven to 10 days. This is the fastest way to create momentum. Here are some guidelines to conducting the most effective PBRs and getting started fast:

Prior to PBR
Look over your prospect list to determine your best prospects and invite them to your home. Let them know you are having the Grand Opening of your new business and want them to see what it is all about. Dont get drawn into a lot of questions. If they ask, let them know the name of the company is Natureline, and that you have a presentation that you want them to see. Explain that you are brand new yourself, but the presentation will provide the answers they are seeking. Remove all distractions before presentation (phone, pets, children, etc.) Do not set up the furniture in the home for a meeting. Keep everything normal, and only move chairs in or around as necessary when people arrive. Confirm with your sponsor if he or she will be attending or calling in. Provide only beverages (no alcohol) or light snacks. Have packets/samples prepared for each guest, but keep them out of sight. Do not set up a product display. 27

Personal Franchise Business Plan

The Private Business Reception


Welcome people as they arrive and seat them comfortably. Introduce guests to each other and start some friendly social conversation. a. Start within five or six minutes of the scheduled time. Do not talk about people who are late or did not show. Concentrate on those who are there. b. To begin, welcome everyone officially and thank them for attending. Do your 30-second Natureline testimonial and let them know they will be watching a show that was on television about an international company seeking leaders. If your sponsor is in attendance, or will be calling in later, introduce him or her and let guests know they will be available to answer their questions later. c. Play Natureline Introduction DVD or show business presentation. d. Dont be running around the house during the presentation. Stay seated and watch the presentation with your guests. e. If others arrive late, dont start over. Let them know that you will catch them up later privately. f. When the video finishes, hand out one packet for each guest. g. Now is the time to answer questions. If your sponsor is there or calling in, direct the questions to them. If s/he are not there, use the tools for answers. Example: If there are questions about the compensation plan, hand prospects the compensation plan summary and go over some key points. If they are product questions, use the Product Guide or the website. h. When you see someone is quite interested, ask them about what are interest them most and why. If they respond positively, ask them if they are ready to get started. i. Sign up those who are ready to get started online or by using a printed form. Provide them with product and enter your address as the Ship To for the product they select at registration. Send them home with their own copy of this business plan and Natureline information. j. For those who do not sign up, invite them to check out your website. Remind them that we are building fast and we want them to do their Homework fast. Schedule a follow up call, or if there is another meeting coming up within a few days, invite them to that.

Step 2: Pass the DVD


You will want to get at least 50 of the Natureline Introduction DVDs into the hands of prospects in your first 10 days (average five per day). Emphasize that they should watch the complete DVD and then visit your website and check out some of the fantastic information there. Not everyone will watch it immediately of course, but you want to get at least 2530 quality exposures from this; meaning people who have actually take the time to view the DVD. This step is best for people you dont think will come to your home for a PBR, but still need to see the business. It is also very effective for casual acquaintances that you dont know that well. It also works well for people who impress you as you go about your day-to-day life, whether it is a helpful retail clerk, courteous taxi driver, or extra friendly waitress. Here are some possibilities for people you know: Peter, the information contained on this DVD is extremely important. When do you think youll have a chance to watch it? Peter, I know that you are considered among the best at what you do. I believe that you could be very successful in a new venture Im involved in. I would like to hear your comments after you review this DVD. When do you think youll have a chance to watch it? Peter Im launching a new business, looking for leaders, and I immediately thought of you. Please review this DVD and let me know what you think. Im putting together a group of the brightest people I know to launch a new business initiative. Your skill set is perfect for it. Would you take 15 minutes and review this DVD for me? Peter, I have recently decided that I wanted to diversify my income and I have launched a new business to accomplish that. My guess is that you will be more than intrigued with the info on this DVD. When do you think youll have a chance to watch it?

Follow Up
You will have much more compliance with people reviewing the materials and a better response if you distribute them with a sense of urgency. Let your prospects know that you are moving very rapidly and 28

Personal Franchise Business Plan ask for their commitment to review the materials quickly. Use an energetic and busy approach, but dont go overboard trying to pressure the prospect. If they really dont seem interested to look at the information, thank them for their time and move on. Your best results will come when you qualify your candidate and organize a time to get back with them. Heres what that will look like: After your prospect agrees to watch the DVD say, Great! When do you think you can see it for sure? Wait for their response. What time they give you is unimportant. Then say, So, if I call you (right after they said theyd see it for sure), youll have seen it for sure right? After they confirm this, ask for the best number to call them. This way, the prospect has had several opportunities to say theyll watch it and by using this commitment approach (and if you have the proper posture), you will have an 80% view rate or better duplicated throughout your organization. Without it, you will have a 10% view rate or worse duplicated throughout your organization. When you follow up when you agreed you would, you simply ask, Did you have a chance to view the DVD? If they tell you they have not reviewed the presentation yet, say something like, Its really important. When do you think you could see it for sure for sure? Wait for their answer and say, Great, so if I call you on _________ youll have seen it for sure? Just keep repeating this process until the actually review the presentation or tell you they are not interested. If they did watch it, ask them, Did you get it? Did it make sense to you? If they say yes, ask them, Would you be interested in working with this company, becoming a part of my team and getting started today? If they say they arent interested, thank them for their time and move on. If they are intrigued, but arent ready to go, escalate the process. This can be done by inviting them to a meeting (PBR), getting them on a three-way call, or listening in to a weekly Leadership Training call or getting more information from one of your Natureline websites. Here are some examples of how to approach people you just met that impressed you: You know you are too good doing what you do to be doing what you do. I bet you would be amazing in my business. Can I leave you with some information for you to review? If it looks good to you, my number is on the back. You know I am very impressed at the job you do here. I believe you would be very successful in the business I am in. Can I leave you with some information for you to review? If it looks good to you, my number is on the back. You know I am very impressed at the job you do here. Are you familiar with network marketing? Im in an emerging new company that is looking for leaders. Can I leave you with some information for you to review? If it looks good to you, my number is on the back. Some of your best leaders may come from people that you dont know right now. So be on the lookout as you go through your day for sharp people. People who are successful in others areas usually are successful with Natureline too. So always have some information in your car, purse, or briefcase for when you meet them.

Remember to always use these third party resources and dont try to make a presentation yourself.
Be sure to schedule specific follow-up times within 24 hours from the time you give someone a tool. If there is any interest (even if they have questions), then immediately escalate them to another level.

Step 3: The Phone Call


This step works best for people you have influence with, who dont live close enough to get a DVD to quickly or cant attend your PBR. Call them personally with a sense of urgency. You can say something like: Hey (name), grab a pen. (Wait.) Please write down this website: www.(yourusername).enviromovement.com. Its about a new business Im launching and Id love your take on it. Please take a look and Ill call you back at _________ to talk about it. Hi (name). Im opening an exciting new business and youre one of the first people I thought of. I believe you could do well with this. Have you got a pen? Please go to www.(yourusername).enviromovement.com and check this out. Theres a way to earn a strong residual 29

Personal Franchise Business Plan income. Check it out and Ill call you back at ________ to talk to you about it. Be sure to schedule a follow-up call for a specific time later that day or the next.

Get a large group of people, to take a few simple actions, over a consistent period of time.
Launching your business with Massive Action as above meets this formula perfectly. Anyone with any experience or education level can follow these simple steps. And you will notice that all of these involve using third party resources. This makes sure that the business is not about you, and that anyone can duplicate your results.

Step 4: Email Blast


This step is perfect for the people you have emails for, but not a physical address or phone number. Cut and paste the Two-Step email campaign from the Appendix of this business plan. Do not send bulk, one size fits, all e-mails to your whole contact list. The goal is not to send SPAM to people but to send thought out personalized e-mails to individuals who have a previous relationship with you. Send out part one. If you customize each message with a few personal comments, your response rate will be higher. Then, for the people who reply with interest, send them part two. Follow up 24 hours later for best results. If your prospect is interested, but not ready to join, escalate the process. This can be done by sending them doing a three-way call with your sponsor, sending them to a meeting in their area, getting them on a weekly Leadership Training Call, or sending them to your website.

Three-Way Calling

Step 5: Drop Off


Drop five to ten brochures off at 20 different locations in your local market. Examples include the car wash, mechanic shops, tire shops, hairstyling salons, doctors waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, coffee shops, nail salons etc. This is lower yield than the above methods, but can bring you people you dont know yet, and works for you around the clock. Also, the product is your best sales tool. Dont hesitate to speak with people and give them a sample of the products. Be sure to follow up!
TRUST + RESPECT = SUCCESS

The most successful people in Natureline have learned how to put their sponsorship line to work for them. Three-Way Calls are one of the simplest, yet most duplicable ways to do this. They allow you to rapidly and efficiently convert prospects into team members and expand your business. Anyone can do Three-Way Calls. You dont need any special skills other than the ability to make a phone call. Most people are able to do Three-Way Calls with their existing phone set up. If not you will need to order the service from your phone provider, which is simple and inexpensive. Try it out with your sponsor or a friend before trying it with a prospect.

Responding to Objection

Personal Franchise Business Plan

Objections & Responses


It is important to understand that in the majority of cases where a qualified prospective Distributor raises an objection to becoming involved in the Natureline business, it is usually a result of one of three underlying concerns: 1. The Natureline program was not explained clearly enough for them to arrive at a decision. They have more questions that you must answer in a professional manner. 2. They have preconceived ideas or misinformation about the network distribution industry that needs clarification. 3. Their self-esteem may not be high enough to permit them to comfortably engage in a new venture that involves an element of uncertainty. Introducing them to several Distributors who have become successful with little or no previous experience, education, professional background, etc., will help establish the reality that anybody who is willing to work can usually succeed with Natureline.

what I hear you saying ________, is that ________. Is that right?. This will do two things for you. It will make sure that youve clearly heard their real objection, and it will give you a few seconds to think about your response. o USE: Feel, Felt, Found. Example: I understand why you feel that way, ______ OR: I can truly appreciate what youre saying, ______ OR: If I understand you correctly, the reason that you feel that way, ______ , is... CONTINUE with: I felt the same way myself, however what I found was that... o Responding to your prospects objection in this manner will put your prospect at ease, allowing him to be less defensive of his/her objection and more open to you and your response. o Your response should always be brief and to the point. o Once you have responded, confirm that your prospect understands and agrees with it before you proceed any further. ASK: Does that answer your question? OR Does that make sense to you? OR Would you agree? o After answering your prospects question or objection always return to a closing question and ask for a decision. Example: Based on what youve seen and heard, how do you see yourself getting started with Natureline - as a customer, or building your own home-based business? Understand that after you have been in Natureline for some time you will begin to recognize common objections. Here are several objections and appropriate responses that you can be prepared for:

1) I dont have enough time. Responding to Objections


When responding to a prospects objections: o o o Listen carefully - NEVER interrupt or anticipate what they will say. Understand that underlying your prospects objection is always a question. NEVER ARGUE with your prospect! Either agree with their objection, appreciate their reasons for thinking that, or repeat their objection so that you clearly understand what they are saying. Repeat their objection by saying, So (a) How much time do you think it takes? OR (b) I can understand why you feel that way. Frankly, I felt the same way. But I found it was really a question of priorities. When I considered all the things I was doing and realized that some of them were not taking me where I wanted to be 5 or 10 years from now, I decided it would be wise to spend 5 to 10 hours per week doing something to accomplish my goals and dreams. Does that make sense to you? By joining Natureline, promoting the products and building your organization, ______ , you are effectively multiplying the results of your available time - so lets get you started as a Distributor right now, and begin building your business. 33

Personal Franchise Business Plan

2) Im not a sales person.


Good, because you dont have to be! This business is more about teaching and training than selling. Im sure you can see that Natureline provides you with the necessary tools to be successful without having to have been a sales person. In fact, many of our top people have never had any involvement in retail sales and marketing. Im sure if they can do it - you can too right? Lets get you started right away!

3) I dont know many people.


Thats the beauty of Natureline - its not important that you know a lot of people personally. In fact, financial success can be achieved in our compensation plan by introducing as few as three Distributors! Can you see what an exciting opportunity this is? Our training and support will show you how to promote the products and business opportunity and build a successful Organization. So lets get started.

4) I dont think this type of business is really for us.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A SPONSOR


Responsibility 80/20 Rule

35

Personal Franchise Business Plan

Responsibility
Great rewards demand commitment to the business of building a successful organization and assisting your Distributors to build their retail base and businesses. Encourage and help your new Distributors overcome their fears, cope with frustrations, sponsor that first new Distributor, and go further with their Natureline career than they ever imagined. Remember that just a few successful distributors in your organization can make you a fortune. When you make an investment in the success of others, it will come back to you ten-fold.

The 80/20 Rule


Generally speaking, eighty percent of your business productivity is produced by twenty percent of the things that you and your team do. With this in mind, its critical to continuously strive to improve the quality of your leadership as it will have a significant impact on the overall success of your organization.

However, do not ever try to push, pull or drag people through this business.
Also, do not ever build someones business for them. Your role is to support and help in their business activity. If a person is not taking action, making progress or not treating the business as their own you must move on and focus on people who are. Those are the people that will help you grow a successful organization. Attend all the training meetings you can, listen to conference calls, and be in regular contact with your Distributors, even if you live far away from each other. An important way of fulfilling your training responsibilities is by personal example. In fact, setting a positive example in all that you do is vital to becoming a successful Natureline leader. And you can learn to lead. Your Distributors can be motivated to greater effort through individual attention. Take the time to explain what works well in a given situation and what does not. Share the techniques that you have found the most successful. Set the standard of excellence in your organization by committing to personally retail more products and sponsor more new Distributors each month. Always remember - the speed of the leader determines the speed of the team. As a Leader of Leaders, You Must: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Be goal-directed and self-motivated Lead by example Exercise and inspire initiative Possess a genuine self-confidence Use creativity and imagination Know how to move others to action Support, encourage and recognize the success of others

understand this, doing this business becomes a lot more fun! So, why not look for a way to make the word NO fun? Each time someone tells you NO, cross out one of the NOs below. Set a goal of getting all 100 NOs. Youll find that a YES will creep in there every once in a while. Dont let the occasional YES distract you from your primary goal of 100 NOs. Dont take this exercise lightly it works! Get these NOs now, while it is still easy for you to do so. Dont wait until it becomes difficult for people to tell you NO. That time will come soon enough! GOOD LUCK!

One Hundred No's


Why are some people more successful than others? Its a one-word answer: the word is NO! Some people have a tough time accepting the fact that they are going to hear the word NO fairly often. They get discouraged and feel rejected because they look at the word NO as a negative. Nothing could be further from the truth! The word NO simply means that nothing changes. Think about it You approach your neighbor and ask him if he would like to learn about Natureline. He says No. What changed? Is he still your neighbor? Yes. Did your income go up or down? No. Nothing changed. It cant be a negative. To be a negative, things would have had to get worse. They didnt. Everything remained exactly the same. On the other hand, suppose he had said Yes. Now there are some positive changes. He will improve the performance of his vehicles and save money on fuel costs (a positive). You will earn retail profit and a bonus cheque (two positives). He may even be interested in starting his own business offering Natureline products to his friends (a positive for both of you). You can see by this example that there are no negatives in our business! There are only positives...and times when nothing changes. When someone tells you No, they are not rejecting you or your products. They are simply telling you that they are unable or unwilling to make any changes at the moment. Once you
