So how do you determine if your leader is the leader you want to work with?

Some sponsors do what leaders need to do.  They motivate you when you need it.  They try to understand what makes you tick. They want and need to understand your goals and what gets your blood racing.  Ultimately, they become both a friend and mentor.

Sometimes, the sponsor doesn’t fulfill the role of a leader. After they get you signed up, they disappear. This happens way too often. Then the marketer struggles to make any money and, most likely, drop out of the business after six to nine months.

So, how do you know which type of sponsor is recruiting you?

Unfortunately, there is not a clear cut answer to this question.  Probably the best course of action is to have a set of questions that you need answered.  Then you need to interview your prospective sponsor to see how they answer your questions. You also need to understand that some sponsors will not take kindly to being interviewed.  They will state that they are the leader and you need to follow what they say. This may or may not be good for you.

If you are new to the MLM world, there are many things that your sponsor may not tell you. They may not tell you what to do after you tap out your warm market. They may give you vague instructions, like make a list of 100 people that you know and go talk to them. Handing out flyers, holding in home meetings, explain your business to any one that will listen, etc. etc. are other things that they may have you do.

This may work for some people. However, this marketing strategy has done more damage to the network / MLM market that anything else. If a person is not a salesman, they will fail miserably if they try to market their product this way. They need a different marketing strategy.

A good sponsor will have a plan to get the new person going. They will try to understand the comfort level for a given marketing plan and explain how to implement this plan. Most good sponsors have a range of marketing strategies that can be adapted to fit most any situation or person. They understand that there is not a single solution for getting everyone successful, so they change their plan to fit the person.

There are also a percentage of marketers that don’t want their sponsors help. They have been there, done that. Sometimes they know more than their sponsor but, because of their situation, join an opportunity under a less experienced sponsor. As a sponsor, you should then try to learn everything you can from this team member.

In conclusion, when you are considering joining a new opportunity, make sure you know what your sponsor will do for you and what you will be doing for them. Just remember that the goal is for everyone to be successful.

According to Wikipedia, a functional beverage definition is defined as drink products that satisfy thirst, are non-alcoholic and ready to drink.  They include in their formulation non-traditional ingredients, such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids or additional fruit or vegetable raw ingredients, depending on the purpose it is designed for, so as to provide specific health benefits that beyond general nutrition. Sports and performance drinks, energy drinks, ready to drink teas, enhanced fruit drinks, soy beverages and enhanced water.

May different components have been combined into drinks that fall into the functional beverage arena.  Unfortunately, many of these drinks, in reality, are not functional beverage fortified drinks. They have added sugars, preservatives, colors, etc. Yes, they may have the base ingredients but they are just drinks. PERIOD.

By comparison, the coffee fruit functional beverage has what most to the other drinks do not have.  The drink has food-form calcium carbohydrate which contains the vital, trace element boron and a standardized blend of eight different vegetables for a powerhouse of vegetable based antioxidants and nutrients.  This produces a high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value that supports many of the body’s vital functions.

Also contained in this drink is a pomegranate powder from one of the world’s most prized fruits. The pomegranate is known to assist the body with healthy inflammation response, antioxidant support and healthy circulation to the brain. There is even a patented botanical adaptogen formula that has been shown to increase the body’s resistance to stress and tension during human trials.

This beverage starts with the coffee fruit, which is also known as the coffee cherry is the fruit of the coffee plant. The best way to describe the coffeefruit is that it is similar to the sweet cherry. You have an excellent fruit with a seed. Only, with the coffee fruit, the seed is the coffee bean that is where we get our coffee. The real plus in this beverage is the proprietary blend of fruit powders and extracts that promotes healthy aging, healthy cardiovascular function, healthy vision, and many more positive results.

Then, to make this drink truly unique, we blend into our drink a mix of other power packed fruits, such as cupuacu, camu camu, and acai. They are blended into this drink which results in a coffee fruit functional beverage that may well rule the industry.

With only 63 calories per three ounce serving, this drink provides the antioxidant equivalent of more than sixteen servings of fruits and vegetable.

Imagine how you would feel if you had to eat 16 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday?

I am guessing that eating that much on a daily basis would be quite a fete, not counting the time, effort and discomfort that would occur with that much food.  In comparison, with this functional beverage, you would only have to drink 3 ounces every day and you get the same benefits.

So, if you are ready to step up your health, you need to do what my team and I did by going to: http://CBD.MLMIntegrityMarketing.com This will get you started on your journey with the coffee fruit functional beverage.

Unfortunately, this situation may have nothing to do with you.  Your sponsor doesn’t understand this or even how to explain this issue to you.  Fortunately, this issue is easily explained … if you understand basic mathematics.

Mathematics?

Yes, this is a quite simple math problem.  You see, in any sales business, you get paid based on the quantity of products that you sell.  The more of your product that you sell, the more money that you make.  Quite simple. Unfortunately, there is a huge second factor that enters into this equation that will impact your total income, especially if you are running your own business.

This factor is the amount of money you earn per transaction.  You are probably saying that this won’t make THAT much difference, will it?  Yes, the difference in the amount that you earn per transaction will make a tremendous difference in your income. The example below will show the graphic difference. This will be a simple example but has real world implications.

First, some base information.  Typically, one percent (1%) of your prospects will purchase your product or service. In addition to this, only about one percent (1%) of the people that read you ad will respond to it.  Then you get to the real kicker, only one percent (1%) of the people that see your ad will even bother to read it.

So, here are the numbers.  You need one hundred (100) prospects to get a customer. To get the one hundred prospects, you will need to have ten thousand (100 X 100) people to read the ad.  Now for the scary number.  You need one million (1,000,000) views to get your single customer.

So, by now, you are probably asking what this has to do with anything.  PLENTY.

For instance, say you earn ten dollars ($10.00) per sale.  For your one million views you just made ten dollars.  Do this ten times per month and you just made one hundred ($100) dollars.  CONGRATULATIONS.  In five months you are broke and your business is probably on life support or worse.

OK, say you bought into a better system and you are making one hundred ($100.00) per sale. You are doing better because you have now made one thousand ($1,000.00).  This means that you will struggle for a YEAR and then probably still bail out because your effort is not being rewarded the way that you think it SHOULD be.

Now, what if you were to join a large dollar program?  Say you could earn one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per sale.  This would put ten thousand ($10,000.00) in your pocket for ten sales.  NOW YOU ARE TALKING.  Now you have a business with enough income to allow you to grow your business to a level that is sustainable.

Unfortunately, too many people join the small dollar programs and then complain that they can’t make any money…AND…they are correct.  The odds are greatly stacked against them.  Now if you are looking for pocket money, yes, a small dollar program will fulfill your needs.  If, however, you are looking to put some decent money in you pocket, a small dollar program will drive you out of the business.

So, what do you do?

So, what is a functional health beverage?

According to Wikipedia, the functional beverage definition: functional beverages can be defined as drink products that satisfy thirst, are non-alcoholic and ready to drink.  They include in their formulation non-traditional ingredients, such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids or additional fruit/vegetable raw ingredients, depending on the purpose it is designed for, so as to provide specific health benefits that beyond general nutrition. Sports and performance drinks, energy drinks, ready to drink (RTD) teas, enhanced fruit drinks, soy beverages and enhanced water.

May different components have been combined into drinks that fall into the functional beverage arena.  Unfortunately, many of these drinks, in reality, are not functional beverages. They have added sugars, preservatives, colors, etc. Yes, they may have the base ingredients but they are just drinks. PERIOD.

The newest push in this new market is the functional beverage energy drinks. This actually seems to be a contradiction in terms. Most people think of an energy drink as a beverage that gives you an instant boost.  This is partially true for the functional beverage fortified drinks but to a different degree than the true energy drink.  The energy drink often has been loaded up with sugar and caffeine to give the body its boost.

By contrast, the functional beverage should provide the boost from its natural ingredients, not added materials. When fruits and vegetables are combined into a drink, many different flavors and textures can be produced. Naturally, this brings about an extreme range of products that have the capability of meeting the needs of almost any circumstance. If you think you need a beverage that has a taste of blueberry and strawberry, chances are that someone has assembled that drink combination.

The challenge of the functional beverage market is to continually strive to assemble a drink that can do more for the body than any other drink that is available. Everyone keeps trying different combinations with varying degrees of success.

One of the giants to this market is a company called MonaVie.  MonaVie has worked hard to refine the various drink combinations to always push the limits of the functional health beverage and has been very successful. Their products have risen to the top of the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale and, in some instance, set new upper limits. They continue to work on new beverages that will continue to improve the drinks and the quality of life for the person consuming these functional drinks.

The latest addition to this market is the fruit of the coffee plant, marketed under the name of coffee fruit, coffee cherry and coffee berry.  Each of these term identify the same fruit, they are just being marketed differently.  The reason this fruit is new to the market has to do with the delicate nature of the product.  Since the fruit becomes rancid very quickly, less than twenty four hours, the fruit was discarded for many, many years.

In 2001, a group developed a process to stabilize this fruit and an entirely new product line was initiated.  The unique feature of the coffee fruit is its ORAC score which was literally off the charts. Its score was more than 625 times higher than the blueberry, which was the industry standard for many years. A new standard had been established

One company has set a new standard for the functional beverage industry with the use of the coffee fruit.  This company has developed a unique beverage that has taken over seven years to construct and has set new standards for the ORAC scores. Recent tests have established an ORAC score of over 10,000 units per a three ounce serving.  In a simple explanation, this is the equivalent of sixteen servings of fruits and vegetable in a single serving or three times the US RDA standard.  This was also accomplished with zero added sugars and preservatives.  A truly unique drink.
