MonaVie - For the Serious Builder

by Orrin Woodward on Fri 09 May 2008 09:09 AM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

I am ramping up to speed quickly on the learning curve for my new enterprise MonaVie. Every day I am more thankful of the choice I made to join MonaVie. I believe that a person that will treat their business as a business will achieve results previously thought unimaginable. Dallin Larsen and the rest of the MonaVie Leadership Team have thought through the issues that hinder the growth for the new person and for the top leaders. MonaVie has created a plan that rewards the new person quickly through the Star, First Order Bonus, Bulk Order Discount Bonus and Star Maker programs. This is an essential step to help the new person see results quickly and since the bonuses are paid out weekly – the new distributor gets feedback quickly on their performance. Let me share some of the key criterion that identifies the people that are treating their business as a hobby vs. people who are treating their business as a profession.

1. Professionals are on auto-ship to ensure they are qualifying for all the bonuses available and do not accidentally miss an order that knocks out their accumulated volume from week to week. A two case minimum order will ensure you qualify for the maximum bonuses as you build your team. Many people are on three cases auto-ship to have extra product on hand for their tasting parties. The third case of auto-ship qualifies you for a volume discount and the third case volume flows to the lesser leg. This allows you to save money and qualify for higher bonuses on your team commission. The three cases auto-ship also qualifies people for Bulk Order Bonuses. A professional will utilize the auto-ship program and teach this to their team. The best groups are over 85% auto-ship and enjoy significant increases in bonuses because they treat their business professionally.

2. Professionals lead from the front by their example. Tasting parties require less than one hour to sample the MonaVie product, watch the Power of You DVD, share the Success at Home magazine, and have them pick the pin level that would provide then income necessary to help the family accomplish their goals and dreams. A new family that would pick the Gold level in MonaVie will average $52,760 from the MonaVie plan. After they understand the health benefits of the MonaVie product, then it is only a $39 decision to get started by helping them place their first order that will turn into an auto-ship after 28 days. How many product tastings are you personally doing? Lead by example and then share the results you are getting with your team. Nothing breeds success like someone who is succeeding! Gold is just 50 cases of MonaVie a week on their lesser leg. The whole team is working together utilizing team approach for the taproot leg and 50 cases per week can be done quickly if they share the MonaVie product. What would $52k as a new Gold do for the average family struggling to make ends meet? What would the MonaVie products do for the health of the entire family that is not getting the recommended amounts of fruits and anti-oxidants? I don't look at MonaVie as a miracle cure for cancer, diabetes, etc., but it is a smart way to maintain health at the cellular level. Preventative maintenance is the best cure through a healthy diet and exercise! Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise is what we are offering to people in our community.

3. Professionals will get their prospect around their active upline and get the new distributor a bigger picture at an open of big house meeting. If a new distributor wanted to go Gold, then get them around your upline Gold so they can see it can be done. Introduce them to books and CD’s that will help them set goals and believe they can accomplish more in life. I love the Magic of Thinking Big and there are many fantastic CD’s available with more coming! Don’t just sign someone up - get them active by helping them share the product with their friends. Help them go Star and bring new people to the Opens. There is a major difference in results between someone just signing up and someone who is joining your community. Professionals help people become part of the community where they will be encouraged and feel part of a team.

4. Professionals help their teams set goals because they have a goal. A person in business without a goal is like a boat that is racing through the water without a rudder. A goal directs the energy towards a specific destination. A goal is planned conflict against the status quo. It is easy to tell the leaders who have set goals throughout their team. They are the teams where volume jumps significantly the last day of the MonaVie week – Friday. Volumes can literally double the last day of the week if a leader has set a goal themselves and then helped their entire team set goals to achieve it. Do you have a goal that you are running for? Have you helped break down that goal into bite size pieces for the other leaders on your team? A professional would never have their boat or their leaders boats leave the harbor without the rudder aiming towards the proper destination.

5. Professionals build multiple Personal Enrollment Trees. No matter how many PET’s you have, you need more. Help every PET go Star and then Star 500. Dallin teaches 20 personals down each binary tree leg! You will notice quickly in this plan that your Personal Enrollment Activity Report will be essential to review. A professional should have a long-term goal to achieve Black Diamond. The average Black Diamond income is $1.474 million! In order to achieve this elite pin – a leader must have 7 Star 500 or above PET’s. Go get the personals and build them into both legs of your binary. A professional realizes quickly that the binary team commissions are great beginning money, but the leader is also focused on building personal legs for his long-term goal of qualifying for the executive premier ranks.

6. Professionals realize that they cannot change a person’s life until they have built the trust and credibility through helping them achieve results. When a person knows how much you care they will open up to learn what you know. The Team training system will teach a person much more than how to build a community. The Team training will teach how to build a life of character and integrity. My dream has and always will be to make a difference in people’s lives. We can do this best by helping people achieve success in their MonaVie business. I am convinced that when we help someone go Star and up that they will stay in our business and learn the principle to live a good life! Stephen Covey calls it putting first things first. The first thing we must do is prove we care and will help our new people accomplish the goals and dreams they have. In the process of doing this, it will be natural to share CD’s and books that will teach them many principles they may have never learned before. Have Fun, Make Money and Make a Difference! Professionals can and will accomplish all three in the MonaVie Team business.

7. Professionals adapt quickly to change. Professionals are always tracking where the cheese is and will lead the way in teaching people where the cheese has moved. Professionals always choose better over bitter and are the most thankful people around. Laurie and I are personally thankful for the incredible group of leaders that God has blessed us with and we would not trade lives with anyone in the world. We are doing what we were called to do with the group of people we were called to do it with. We are on our way to 1 million people and the professionals in business will lead the way! Are you a professional or a hobbyist? It's your choice because it is your life.

God Bless, Orrin Woodward

Orrin,

Thanks again for rising early so that many people around the world can get the worm of information on this blog. Healthy, Wealthy and Wise that is what the local leaders and learners here have been teaching here in St. Louis and I am blessed to a part of such a professional group of people who have been willing to grow and change through the months and the years.

Thanks for the entire article but especially the section on GOALS. I am currently reading a book I picked up at the major called the Heart of a Leader which has a quote that says "All good performance starts with clear GOALS". I understand this statement and am implementing it both long term and short term, but what advice would you give to me and others like me who continued to have a TEAM system Goal during the last seven months which steadly increased but now find it to be going backwards since the product? How do we get people to see that since we are growing at a clip that was faster than before we seriously need to be plugged in ourselves and help others do the same to grow change and lead others to a B type business?

Again, thanks for all you do, say and sacrifice for the good of us all. To God be the Glory!!

TA, When we announced we were developing a line of lower cost MV specific tools, it was like announcing a model change in the automobile industry. Let me give you an analogy from the auto industry since I am very familiar with model changes and the time it takes to do this.

Henry Ford sold millions of Model T's and when he decided to change over to the Model A, he shut down his plant for months. He literally sold no cars while changing over the assembly line. But his goals was to do the change to improve the customer satisfaction which he did. He did not worry about short term sales because he kept his eye on his long term goal.

In the same way, we had to change over the training to get specific for what many of our customers were asking for. Many customers are building big MV businesses and the Team will provide lower cost, specific training to help our MV customers. I am not concerned with the CD counts in the short term because I know when we provide low cost, specific training for the customers the CD counts will explode way past what they ever were. We are going through a model change and almost finished. On June 1 the explosion begins. Until then I am building my MV business so I have as many people in my community when the proper tools at the right price are rolled out. The CD counts will increase dramatically and they will support our main business which is MonaVie. Build your MV business and hit goals there and when the right tools and the right price are released then you can set goals there. Until then you would be almost "double minded" to attempt goals in both. We are weeks away and I cannot wait for the new releases. Build your numbers and when this hits it will be like an engine that is revved up that is shifted into gear. The wheels will get traction and we are on our way to 1 million. I am very impressed by how quickly the Team has transitioned to support its customer base. Hope this helps and let's talk again at the end of June and we will be sharing the rest of the story. thanks, Orrin

Orrin - The information in this post was most helpful to me. You have a great way of teaching in a fashion that even I can understand!!! What I mean by that is the information is easy to understand and this is definitely a great PDCA mental checkoff to help keep our family business on track as we move forward in the months ahead. There is a lot of new things to learn and it's easy to get focused on things that are not necessarily moving you forward!

Orrin, Thanking you for sharing Mona-vie with us. Mr. Morgan set a goal for us to reach star 1000, and to help our personally sponsored people become stars. It's FRIDAY the day you said most goals are reached. Our team broke out two star 500's and we are Bronze. We would have NEVER reached this level if we hadn't set a goal. We can't forget it's a great product and we have excellent leaders. Set a goal and GOOOOOOO. G

Orrin -

I can't thank you and the other leaders enough for all that you've taught us over the past few months. The CDs and books that have been selected showed me how to leave my second job so that I could truly spend time in my primary responsibility of raising my son to be a man of character. People notice how much I've grown with all I've learned, and my son is thriving again.

I've been through a number of course changes with you and my upline leaders knowing that our leaders always keep our best interests in mind. Recently, I find myself coming back to one question that I can't get answered from my uplines: Will the Team continue to be there for me if Mona Vie isn't for me?

I faithfully go to Mona Vie Opens and I am thankful that the product works to help others. My transition from customized homeopathy has been a bit rough, and my enthusiasm in the product is not as strong currently. It shows as I talk to people, especially when they see it in contrast to my enthusiasm about the leadership education. I often feel I no longer know how to help them.

I truly do realize that we are in a period of transition, that more information is coming, and things will continue to change. I continue to keep my eyes on the goal in stone, even as I loose my footing temporarily in the sand. Thank you for your time and belief in all of us.

Sarah, Team is a community to love and serve everyone that comes into contact with the leaders. We will be there for everyone because that is what we are called to do. If you can take the LLR series and use to become a better mother, leader, and friend then I am proud of you! Keep growing. thanks, Orrin

Sarah and Orrin,
I can't speak from a technical or professional point of view, but I can relate my personal experiences and draw some conclusions that may help others. My wife and I have been using MonaVie for two months now. She has noticed a lessening or absence of several pains and has significantly lowered her blood sugar and cholesterol levels. This may be a result of changes in diet and exercise, but I believe that MonaVie is the major contributing factor here, since her medications have not changed in this period. However, what I most want to relate is not my wife's experience with MonaVie, but my own. I had recently (within the last year or so) developed pain in my hands and one foot. I attributed this pain to the onset of arthritis since I am 55 years old and my dad developed it at about that age. Since using MonaVie this pain has virtually disappeared almost from the first day of using it. My theory is that since this pain was relatively new it did not take long for the MonaVie nutrients to take effect and overcome the cause for the pain. I have other pain which has not gone away so quickly. I have shoulder pain from a football injury in junior high and knee pain from soccer injuries in college. These pains have lessened in frequency and intensity, but they are still there. My theory is that because these pains were caused by more long standing injuries it is taking MonaVie longer to repair the damage. In addition to this everyone is different. So what I am saying to you, Sarah, is don't give up on MonaVie if you don't see the results others are seeing as fast. Everyone is different. It may take longer for you. Of course, since I am not a healthcare professional, don't do anything on my advice. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making serious changes in your lifestyle.

Thank you for such awesome information, and food for thought. Having been with TEAM for awhile now has helped my wife and I grow as leaders. We wrote out our goals and signed the paper(the 1st one together since our marriage license). This has helped us focus like never before. I look forward to reading more about leadership, and look forward to Ohio in June. God Bless, Frank & Kathy Lewis

Orrin,
I have heard that one of the qualifications for power player is a four case auto ship of MonaVie. I see that MonaVie does not have a four case option. There are options for one or two or three or six or twelve cases. For three or six or twelve cases you get the bulk order bonus, so therefore it would be better to place a three case order and a one case order to get four cases for a total price of $470 and a points total of 350 to get the bulk order bonus. Two two case orders for four cases would cost $460 and give a points total of 400, but would apparently not give a bulk order bonus. What are the facts here and what is your advice on this matter?

Orrin,Thanks for your awesome leadership you and the team have provided.We are so grateful for all the years of training and influence.However as our Monavie business is growing so quickly for us and many of our leaders,some really still struggle and are resistant about the tools as they have spent so much money over the years and do realize the value of tools,they are excited about monavie without having to become tool salesmen. Where it appears to some people that powerplayer is another way to move tools.I know tools are absolutely neccesary but we have had such a bad rap over so many years over tools,could we come up with some new names or ideas for this.the words powerplayer and opens just bring back the past memories which we need to flush to move on.I don't know if you will post this as it is negative but maybe you could add something in one of your articles to help us to address this with people that are struggling with tools.Are the monthly seminars going to continue with the same format? Once again sorry to dump just need some help with this.Thanks

I am looking for a little direction on the content to be included in a tasting . . . You mention that "[T]asting parties require less than one hour to sample the MonaVie product, watch the Power of You DVD, share the Success at Home magazine, and have them pick the pin level that would provide then income necessary to help the family accomplish their goals and dreams" and I am wondering if this is representative of what should be "duplicated."

On the advice of our upline, we have been doing the following:
1) Tasting
2) Have the speaker talk about "content"
3) Watch the DVD
4) Have the speaker talk about "commerce" (handing out the IDS)
5) Have the speaker end with "community"
6) Offer an opportunity to enroll and/or book a follow-through

Should we omit the formal part involving a speaker (i.e., 2, 4, and 5) and leave this to the speaker at the Opens? Do you have any advice on how we might change this to be more simplistic and duplicatable?

Thank you for the vision and direction.

Anon, There will be CD's available for special orders for all MonaVie distributors at the end of this week. Instead of answering every question, the CD's will answer them. We are all running PDCA's so there is no right or wrong only what consistently works and what doesn't. We are developing through our learning curve and will have specifics as the principles work themselves out in practice. Get ready to explode! thanks, Orrin
