JOIN THE NEW PROFESSIONALS

An extract from the book THE NEW PROFESSIONALS by Charles W. King& James W. Robinson.

“A New Approach to Work, Family, and Lifestyle

A corporate CEO sells his company at the height of his success and power. A senior government official suddenly walks away from the perks and prerogatives of high office. Women executive who spends years successfully breaking through the glass ceiling in her Industry walks into the office one day and says, “I quit.” A nationally recognised hear surgeon gives up his practice.

     Lawyers, doctors, dentists, university professors, stockbrokers, company managers, professional athletes, real estate developers, and small business owners – all of whom poured years of hard work into preparing for and building lucrative careers – walk away from the success and money and don’t look back.

     What are these people doing? What do they have in common? Where are they going and why? They’ve all joined the ranks of the New Professionals. And many of them have decided to embrace an industry they had once laughed at, sneered at, and swore they’d never touch – network marketing.

     Network Marketing is the low-cost, now high-tech, industry that invites you to build your own business and earn a potentially high income while working from home on your own schedule. You earn immediate income and serious long-term residual income by selling products and services directly to consumers and convincing others to do the same.

     Network Marketing – known previously as multilevel marketing and historically disparaged as pyramid schemes for schemers and suckers – is today emerging as the most powerful distribution method and the most appealing enterprise model in the new economy. It’s an approach to sales and entrepreneurship so powerful that traditional companies, struggling to find new ways to reach a fragmented market while containing the prohibitively high costs of full-time sales forces and national advertising campaigns, are now borrowing from its best features to apply to their operations.

     Network marketing–once known as the last refuge for the hapless and hopeless, those who had failed at everything else–has entered the new millennium with a fresh image as a place for winners. Today it’s a high – touch, high-tech field, international in scope, that is growing in sophistication, complexity, and diversity; an industry where knowledgeable workers are welcome, professionalism is prized, and search engines and stock options are replacing pep rallies and prayer circles.

     No wonder the serious professionals from many fields are taking their first look, fresh look, at network marketing. Each year, thousands of people are leaving well-established, lucrative careers to pursue new opportunities with the broad range of interesting companies that comprise this industry. In the process, these New Professionals are not only changing the face of network marketing, but are also having a broad impact on the business world as a whole.”

ORIFLAME THE WAY TO WEALTH

HOW TO CREATE A SUCCCESSFUL ORIFLAME BUSINESS.

Follow these tips and you are on your way to the top in your business.
1. Daily Habits. Successful Oriflame Consultants are actively working on their business every day. How they do this, is different for everyone. Some may simply set a goal of two new prospects a day, perhaps by adding to new people to an opt-in mail list, face to face contact with two people who are interested in their story, adding new friends to social networking friend's list (e.g. on Facebook) or giving away free information such as a report, newsletter. These actions are not only easy to do, they are effective ways to build your Oriflame business over the long term.
2. Weekly Habits. The highest earning Oriflame Consultants also act consistently to build their business on a weekly basis with scheduled weekly activities. These activities will differ from person to person. For example, some may choose to mail out one package a week to someone who they think would gain from hearing about their product or opportunity. This can include a CD, free sample, pamphlets, or a book. This is a very effective way to let someone know you are in business without heavy selling. Regular, simple weekly actions can also generate a big payoff in the long run.
3. Monthly Habits. No matter what business you are in, to be successful you have to keep up to date and keep learning. Oriflame is no different. Leaders who succeed attend the monthly events sponsored by Oriflame. These events are usually enjoyable and include dinners, lunches, seminars etc. They are designed to improve knowledge and prospecting skills as well as to encourage and motivate.
4. Self Improvement. The people who succeed in Oriflame are those who are working to improve themselves. They take advantage of personal development resources such as books, Audios, DVDS, and participating in online groups etc. They tend to spend at least fifteen to thirty minutes every day on personal development.
5. Don't Quit. People who succeed in Oriflame know that success doesn't happen overnight. In fact, you may not see much happening for one, two or even three months. Successful Oriflame Cinsultants know that MLM systems are designed to create exponential growth and the start up is always slow. They are fully aware that they have to be prepared to invest at least one year in building a new Oriflame business and they are committed to the process. They don't get distracted by every new opportunity that comes along.
6. Create an "Edge." The most successful people in Oriflame are focused on maintaining a slight edge. They are well aware that it is easy to avoid taking the necessary actions for success. But they are also aware that those actions are equally easy to do if they are disciplined to do them. They choose to take personal responsibility for their success or failures in life and in business. Even if they can't see any immediate benefits from their daily actions, they are committed to doing them anyway because they know there will be long term benefits. The biggest Oriflame producers know that while 80% of their time may need to be invested in building their business, in the long run this will reduce to 20% of their effort and they will reap the benefits.
7. Have a Long Term View. Finally, the success stories of Oriflame are able to live outside their "comfort zone" for a period of time because they are aware that they will reap huge benefits in usually three to five years.
It is clear that people who succeed in Oriflame have a different approach to individual's who remain simply "wannabe's." If you genuinely want to succeed in Oriflame, you can choose to follow the example of those who have succeeded and put yourself on the pathway to success. MAKE THAT CHANGE & BE PART OF THE SUCCESS.

THE POWER OF DUPLICATION

All network marketing companies have one thing in common; they are all based on the duplication model. The key to huge success in Oriflame is the ability to have the people in your team produce the same results that you do. You are producing results to get you to the point of coaching new people as they come in.

Where potential millionaires in Oriflame fail, is that they either:

1.   Don't have a system in place to train new people or

2.   They fail to communicate the system.

I don't feel that anybody should do the work for the people in their Team. That doesn't create a powerful organization. It still takes commitment from everyone in the organization to make it work. What I am talking about is knowing what works and having a system in place to communicate that knowledge to new people as they come in to the business. It's not just about throwing out a bunch of ideas, it's about having a systematic approach that anyone can follow. Step by step instructions for success. Then, it is the responsibility of the person passing on the information to coach and/or train the person and the responsibility of the person receiving the information to listen, follow instructions and actually do it.

The system that I use everyday is the same system that the top consultants in the world use and we have been trained to use this system by Oriflame. If you are not getting the results you want, it means you are not using the system effectively and you are not duplicating the system within your team. Here is the system again:

LOOK GOOD – be your own best customer. Use the product and train on the product. You should be an expert so when a customer asks you a question you can answer confidently. Oriflame has free training, so make sure you attend.

MAKE MONEY – understand how the money is made:

1.   Retail Profit of 30% every time you sell a product.

2.   Bonus. Performance Discount starting at 3% all the way to 21%

3.   Cash Awards. Starting at USD 1,000 all the way up to 1 million dollars

4.   Director Bonuses.

To make money you must talk to people on a daily basis and show them the catalogue. Some will not be interested in the business opportunity but will want products. Sell products and get customers and sign up business partners and show them what to do. The most common mistake is foor people to sign up consultants and expect them to know what to you. You are their sponsor and you have a duty to get them started and ensure they know what to do. After that let them fly on their own, but show them the power of duplication.

HAVE FUN – enjoy what you are doing and it will become so much easier to do your business. Treat yourself when you do well and learn to be patient with your business. It takes time to develop the business, but if you are consistent and determined to succeed you will.

WHY WOMEN ARE SO GREAT AT THE ORIFLAME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

Did you know that women make up about 82% of the network marketing industry? Although that statistic may seem surprising, it actually makes a great deal of sense for two reasons:

·         Most women possess a series of qualities and skills that make them uniquely suited to network marketing, and

·         the flexible nature of network marketing makes it particularly appealing to women.

So what is it about women that make them just so good at network marketing and the Oriflame business opportunity? Well, network marketing is a people and communication business. It's about relationship building. Generally women tend to have advanced social and people skills. They are able to empathize with others and are good at listening and understanding another's situation. These abilities help them identify their customers' needs, and determine whether a prospect is committed to joining their Oriflame business.

You've probably heard of women's intuition. It's that ability to somehow sense the right course of action even when you don't necessarily have all the facts or information. It can be invaluable in network marketing where you need to determine what a customer is thinking or whether you feel good about a prospective business associate.

Women are also known for their ability to multi-task. Running a busy, successful Oriflame business is that little bit easier for skilled multi-taskers who know how to focus on more than one task at a time. When a couple is lost, it's often the woman in the car who is willing to ask for directions. That's because women are usually comfortable asking questions and not concerned that this will make them appear inadequate or ignorant. This willingness to learn and explore new ideas allows women in network marketing to continually build their knowledge and expertise so that they become better and better at what they do.

Personal recommendations sell products. Women share recommendations with each other all the time - the great movie they saw last week, their new stylist who is so good at colour, the new gym they just joined. Oriflame is built around personal recommendations - you must be an evangelist for the natural Swedish cosmetics you are selling. If you truly love your products, the women's network of product recommendations will work its magic for you.

Many women find that the Oriflame opportunity offers them the solution to the common modern dilemma of how to combine raising a family with earning an income and pursuing satisfying work. Oriflame is a home based business and  it can be pursued part-time with flexible working hours. You are your own boss so you can decide when and for how long you are going to work, and you don't waste time commuting. A busy Mum can spend time with her children while still earning income in her business. As the children become older and more independent, there is the opportunity to put more time into the Oriflame business and to really build wealth and work towards financial freedom.

ORIFLAME THE RIGHT DECISION

NETWORK MARKETING COMING OF AGE

HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION

At this point it is likely that you are asking yourself whether Network Marketing is really for you. The concept could perhaps be completely new to you: you are excited but dubious, attracted but apprehensive. When making this decision there are four main pieces of advice that I can give you.

Remember that it is your decision and so you should make it based upon your own plans, research and feelings. You must also choose a company which suits YOU best. Therefore any enthusiastic friends must be overlooked for the meanwhile.

Don’t rush your decision on whether and with whom to go into Network Marketing. If the opportunity has been presented as being most attractive right now but may become less so with the passage of time, chances are that the scheme has a limited future. However, avoid excessive delay as your enthusiasm will fade as the details of the opportunity fade from the forefront of your mind.

Remember you have nothing to lose and everything to gain so why not go for it? Very many people have achieved more than they would ever have imagined they could in Network Marketing.

Lastly be wary that even though people often mean well in the advice they give; 80% of people have never heard of Network Marketing and a further 10% have heard of it but do not quite know what it is about. The opinions of these people should not be treated with more importance than they deserve as they are often negative in their ignorance.

SKIN TYPES & ORIFLAME PRODUCT GUIDELINES

Every one of you loves to keep your skin healthy and glowing always; don’t you? Well, while there is plenty of online resources giving you numerous tips and advice on skin care, it is necessary to understand the skin type and characteristics before acting on any specific advice. Although the skin structure (the proper medical term is skin anatomy!) is identical in every one, there are different types of skin that have diverse responding power to any specific skin care treatment. A certain skin care product may not have the same effect on your skin as it has on your friend’s skin. In some cases, you may also find that certain skin products have allergic reaction with your skin while they might have proven great for some other people. So, if you are serious about your skin care, you must find out what your actual skin type is. Dermatologists have identified the 5 basic skin types according to their characteristics. The parameters for classification are amount of oil your skin excretes and the sensitivity of your skin. Once you know your type of skin, you can adopt the suitable skin care regimen. Oriflame has a very wide selection of Skin care products for every skin type. Check out out catalogue at http://africa.oriflame.com/Kenya
Oily skin

By looking at its name, you might have guessed it that this type of skin is characterized by more oil secretion. Yes, you are right. If you take a closer look, you will find that this type has enlarged skin pores and you will feel a slight tightness after washing or cleansing this skin. The Pure Nature products on page 10 & 11 are the secret weapon against oily blemished skin.

Dry skin

Again you can see that this skin type is very dry in appearance and feel due to very low oil secretion through its small skin pores. If you cleanse this type of skin with hard cleanser, you will experience a distinct tightness and feel of diminishing skin elasticity. Fine wrinkles, red patches and dead skin build up are its usual characteristics. The Pure Nature range of Aloe Vera products on page 20 is a great way to make that change in your skin care regime.

Combination skin

Also known as normal skin, this type facilitates easy skin care. It has a smooth and even texture with medium sized skin pores. It exhibits the characteristics of oily and dry skin. In "T" zone, it appears oily while it is usually dry on cheeks. The Optimals range on page 24 is an amazing range for combination/oily skin.

Aging skin

Also known as sun damaged skin because sun exposure has been the principal cause behind the premature aging of skin; it shows typical leathery structure with broken capillaries. Besides sun exposure, factors like smoking, gravitational pull also accelerate skin-aging process. Mature skin needs special care, and it is important to start your skincare regime on the right products. There are amazing products on page 3 & 5, page 9. page 15, page 18, page 28 & page30

Sensitive skin

This skin profile is highly responsive/ sensitive to particular external environmental changes. Characterized by thin and delicate appearance with fine skin pores, the climate changes can trigger to experience skin rashes. Products on page 17 and page 18 are best for sensitive skin.

If you are not sure of your skin type, there are various test that your beuaty salon can carry out for you and tell you or visit an Oriflame Beaty Store in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kampala or Dar es salaam and they will carry out the test for you. Treat your skin with the care it deserves and take care of it with ORIFLAME NATURAL SWEDISH COSMETICS. Contact Susan Rodrigues on susanrodrigues@yahoo.co.uk for more information.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS & NAILS WITH ORIFLAME

Are you tired of spending thousands of dollars each year at the nail salon? If you’re like most of the country budgets are tighter than ever. To compensate for high fuel prices and the rising cost of food, salons are seeing a decline in customers due to the economy. In addition, many women are forgoing their weekly trip to their professional nail technician and are doing their nails at home. Use Oriflame products & Tools.There are thousands of nail products on the market today and knowing which tools you need to properly take care of your nails can be tricky. However, if you check out the Oriflame catalogue at http://africa.oriflame.com/Kenya  You may also want to grab a few bottles of colored polish or OPI polish in French white if you’d like to give yourself a French manicure - all in the catalogue (pages 38& 39).

Before you start filing away at your nails, there are a few things you should do first. Be sure to remove all old polish with a gentle Oriflame finger nail polish remover on page 38. After getting rid of the polish, soak your hands in warm soapy water for ten minutes. This will soften your nails and skin to allow you to not only file your nails better but also remove the unwanted cuticle areas. You can make your own homemade hand spa by filling a large bowl with warm water and adding a small amount of Oriflame's Hand Bath & Massage Oil (Page 44) to the water. After soaking your hands, be sure to dry them completely.

To begin, grab your nail buffer and file your nails as you normally would (rounded, square or oval). With the roughest side of the buffer, start to buff your nails. Use a gently side-to-side motion when doing this. The main purpose of this phase is to smooth out any major ridges your nails may have. Next, use the next roughest side of your buffer and repeat the process. This will further work any ridges out of your nail area. To finish the buffing phase, utilize the smoothest part of the buffer to polish your nails until they shine.

Tips for Professional Salon Results

After you’ve successfully buffed your nails, consider taking your homemade manicure to the next level. Grab your Oriflame  Hand Treatment Mask (page 44) and a pair of clean cotton gloves (socks will work if you don’t have gloves). Lather your hands in the mask, put them into the gloves and wait for ten minutes. When you pull your hands out, wash and dry them well then apply Oriflame Hand cream (page 45). You will find they are incredibly natural and soft! Be sure to wipe your nails well, apply a top coat of polish ) and begin painting them in your desired color - Oriflame has a wide selection (page 38 & 39). Allow the first coat of polish to set and apply another thin coat. Finish with a top coat and allow it to dry. As you can see, getting beautiful nails doesn’t necessarily require an expensive trip to the salon. So, instead of spending money on artificial acrylic nails this season, consider taking the natural route and doing your nails and toe nails yourself at home with Oriflame Natural swedish Cosmetics!

NETWORK MARKETING COMING OF AGE (week" 2)

INNER WORKINGS OF NETWORK MARKETING

Network Marketing was founded upon the concept of sharing great products with others. It encourages people to get control of their lives, follow their dreams, live their values, AND support others to do the same. It is about relationships and committing to the success of other people – to the same extent that they are willing to commit to their own success.

After you are introduced to a Network Marketing company by an existing distributor you will have to pay an initial fee and sign a contract. This fee will usually cover a complete set of company literature. As a distributor you are now able to purchase goods from the company at a discount off the retail price.

The first way to make money once you have set up is through retailing the company’s product, the profit on the retail price is yours to keep. Most of this retailing is done through direct selling on a person-to-person basis, initiated by referral, recommendation or straightforward approach. It is common for many companies to deliver the ordered products straight to your home or to your customer.

No significant stock needs to be held as delivery times are usually less than a week. You will mostly collect payment with order so that your cash flow is always positive.

The second way to make money in Network Marketing is developing a network. You will be rewarded by discounts, bonuses, royalties and other incentives in direct proportions to your success; the sales generated by your group of downlines. You must replicate your business to reach out to more customers.

NETWORK MARKETING COMING OF AGE

WEEK 1: INTRODUCTION

“Most people realize at some stage in their life that wealth is rarely obtained by working for somebody else,” Multi-Level Marketing author Peter Clothier said. “Working for yourself is not a guarantee of future wealth but for most people it is the only realistic way of making a substantial income.”

Multi-Level Marketing; also known as Network Marketing is an approach to sales and entrepreneurship so powerful that traditional companies are borrowing its features to apply to their operations; it allows you to build your own business and earn a substantial income while working from home on your own schedule.

A Major Network Marketing company to enter the East Africa region in the last 2 years is Oriflame – Natural Swedish Cosmetics. And as part of a Network Marketing company you earn immediate income in terms of profits and serious long-term residual income by selling products and services directly to consumers and convincing others to do the same.

Network Marketing – once known as a last resort for the hepless and the hopeless, those who had failed at everything else – now has a fresh image as a place for winners. It’s a high-touch, high-tech field, international in scope that is expanding in sophistication, complexity, and diversity; an industry where knowledgeable workers are welcome, professionalism is prized, and search engines and stock options are replacing pep rallies and prayer circles. Network Marketing teaches us that persistence, coupled with absolute belief, can never be defeated.

Next weeks article will explain the inner workings and strategies of Network Marketing.
