Day 1 Assignment 1

Back Office & Commission

Go to the First Steps tab.

Set up how to receive your commissions and add TEAM Hear 2 Heart to your name. The first video on the web site will show you exactly how to do this.

I HIGHLY recommend everyone use Credit Wallet. What this does is allow you to set aside a portion of your earnings. It's not automatic and you must log in to do this each time you want to set money aside. I set aside the first $65.92 out of my first check each month so I always have the money for my monthly bottle. This makes it so I don't have to be on autoship and I don't have to buy prepaid cards to make a 1-time purchase. ALSO, money set aside in your credit wallet is NOT reported on your 1099 so it is beneficial for tax purposes. I can assign the money in my credit wallet to use for my own purchases or I can assign it to one of my down line if they come up short one month. Or I can use it to send a free bottle to a customer!

Go here to learn about credit wallet and set it up if you choose to take advantage of it

Your Credit Wallet page is where you can transfer your commissions to purchase product for yourself or for others in your team.

Simply select how much of your future commissions you would like to allocate toward your credit account and it will automatically be added each Thursday as commissions are paid.

Remember: This Transfer Commission to Credit Wallet function is for future commissions only. Commissions that have already been paid cannot be transferred.

The link to your Credit Wallet page can be found on the "My Earnings" page.

Assignment 5

Secrets to Skinny Body Care Success

Ok. Here it is. You can use this and grow. Or not and stay stagnant. It's your choice.

We can't do this business for you. If you treat this like a hobby, you will get pocket change. If you treat this like the business opportunity it is, you will succeed.

For those who are ready to really do this...not just talk about it but DO IT, here it is:

1. ADVERTISE!!!
Facebook lets us be in 300 groups at one time. FIND 300 groups! If you are only posting invitationsinvitations to your support group in 5 or 6 groups, you aren't going to gain members. MAX OUT IN GROUPS. This should be your FIRST priority. Would you rather reach 5 groups with 1,000 people (5,000 potential group members) OR 300 groups with 1000 people (300,000 potential group members)? DO THE MATH!!! More groups means more possible members joining which means MORE potential sales for YOU.

2. TIMELINE:
You can post whatever you want on your timeline. NO ONE can mark you as SPAM. Post a Skinny testimony every day...3 times a day is better...breakfast, lunch, dinner...POST.

3. ADD friends. The more friends you have, the more people will see what you are offering. Invite people to add you as a friend when you post invites in sales groups. You can use Facebook as a personal social network OR you can use it as a business tool. Those of us who are ranking up have chosen to use is as a business tool. Keep your personal stuff to yourself and POST POSITIVE. People are not going to ask a Negative Nelly to help them. You want to DRAW people to you, not chase them away with rants. Keep political, religious, and other controversial things off your Timeline if you want to appeal to a broader range of potential customers.

4. GROUP ORDERS
Stop spoiling your group with group orders! If you keep trying to push the price of a group order, you will never build up your residual pay. Group orders have a purpose but if ALL you focus on is that quick Fast Start bonusbonus, you are going to ONLY get that bonus and never build up your business. Save the group orders for the end of the month when you need a quick sale to make rank. SET A TIME FRAME. If you leave it open, people will procrastinate. GIVE THEM A DEADLINE and stick to it! You need to treat this like the business it is. If you miss a sale at the department store, they aren't going to pity you and give you the lower price. So STOP doing this for your customers. People will exploit you and you will lose $$$ in the long run.

5. SUPPORT GROUP
STOP blasting Skinny Fiber ads all over your group!!! It is a SUPPORT group! Offer SUPPORT! People don't need a group Infomercial. They need YOU to talk to them. You need to become a nutrition expert, a fitness expert, a therapist, a friend, a confidant; you need to make your group SO comfortable that your members feel SAFE enough to divulge ANYTHING, even if it isn't weight lossweight loss related.

Find recipes. Find exercise programs. Find motivational pictures. ASK them about their lives, about their jobs, about their families, about their health. Become an EXPERT on their conditions. LEARN and talk. And talk. And TALK.

6. ADDING MEMBERS
STOP adding middle eastern men who think they are fitness experts. STOP letting them post links to their blogs (WHERE THEY SELL FROM). STOP adding people whose Facebook profile is OBVIOUSLY bogus. John Smith with the 6 pack abs stock photo is NOT looking for support. He is looking for sales and you are GIVING them away when you let him in. SCREEN those who want to join your group. If in doubt, REJECT. Better to have QUALITY members than a large group of spammers and scammers. PROTECT the integrity of your group. Your members are counting on you to keep them safe.

7. TRAININGTRAINING
If you have NOT gone through  trainingtraining web site (this site) that explains the basic nuts and bolts, GO THERE. Don't shut off your brain and tell yourself it is too hard to understand. It's called LEARNING. There is a curve and you will hit bumps. HELP US to help you by learning as MUCH as you can with the tools we have worked hard to put together for you. Go here and read over and over until it begins to make sense: http://teamrockstardiamonds.ning.com

8. QUESTIONS
Do you know who your enroller is? GO to them with your questions! That is what they are there for. They can't help you if you don't ask. Your success is their success.

9. GROW YOUR TEAM
No. Recruiting is not required. But it is much easier to make rank with a team than by yourself. But know this...if you sign a DT, you better be prepared to be USED and ABUSED by them because if you don't train and support them, they will quit. Don't rush out to get as many DT's as you can. Learn everything you need to know and THEN wait for them to come to you. They WILL come if YOU know what you are talking about AND have the proof to back up your claims! Build YOUR business first so you can show them what YOU did. YOUR testimony is more powerful than mine or anyone else's not directly connected to them.

ALSO:

NEVER post the words SKINNY FIBER in your invites in sale groups. People will Google it and go to Amazon and buy instead.

NEVER openly bash a competitor product. Instead, find articles and reviews that are unbiased and use those to let your people decide for themselves. It is OK to say something didn't work for you. BUT it is better to say "Product A appears to be stimulant based. If you have high blood pressurehigh blood pressure or heart problems, you might want to avoid it." BE PROFESSIONAL.

STOP feeling bad for getting paid for doing this. Doctors provide a service to help people and they are paid well for it. You are doing the same. YES, you make money. BUT, you are also investing a LOT of time and energy in these people. Today's happy customer is tomorrow's happy Distributor!

Assignment 6

DAY 6

You can give people FREE temporary positions on your team! Log in to your back office. Click on "TrainingTraining". Click on the 1st tab "Four Steps to Building a Massive Organization". Read through the four steps. Use the "Tell A Friend" page to give your friends a temporary spot on your team (if they choose to upgrade). Comment below with the number of friends you "told" using this tool from the back office. =)

I would post something on your Timeline that says "I'm giving away FREE temporary positions on my Team. If you want one, Inbox me your email address by [date]" You can also enter in email addresses from your contacts in your email accounts. You don't want to use email addresses that already show up in your SBC Contact Manager.

The purpose of the Tell-A-Friend page is to give people a chance to check out the business without making a purchasepurchase. Get their email address entered. Then tell them to go to the http://skinnybodycare.com/ web site and log in as a Pre-enrollee. SBC will send emails on your behalf automatically once the person logs in. EASY way to get a new DT or more without having to "talk" them in to it. Very low pressure and all you do it just enter their email address and that is it!

Once you have posted that and you get some response, this is what you do next:

This is how they do #7 (Join with no out of pocket expenses)
I have them host a group order. They find 6 people to give them $45 each....Grand Opening Sale is what I call it. They collect the money. It gives them $270. They take that money and go to YOUR sbc90 website and join as a DISTRIBUTOR. They pay about $191 to order the Buy 3, Get 3 free AND pay the $10 distributor fee. They have it shipped to them. They package it up and mail (or deliver) to their 6 customers. They end up with $80 left over. I tell them to save $65.92 to buy their next month's bottle. That gives them about 2 months to work on getting sales so they can use their commissions to pay for their future bottles! As long as they make sure to set aside the first $65.92 out of their commissions, they will never have to pay out of pocket for Skinny Fiber or Ageless!

Day 7Web sites & their uses Read this document to learn about the different web sites and their use

Web sites & their uses

Read this document to learn about the different web sites and their uses. Browse the sites in your native language (or foreign if you want to test your High School Foreign Language retention, LOL) and comment below with which one you personally like for selling Skinny Fiber, selling Ageless and for signing upsigning up Distributors.

Here is a breakdown of the different websites we are given as distributors and reasons for using them. Remember, these are my sites yours will need your username. My username is "SkinnyAngie" so in all of these web sites, where you see "skinnyangie" you would replace that with YOUR username so it goes to YOUR web site.
So, you should have 3 answers. There is no right or wrong answer. Basically, I want you to visit ALL of your personal web site (or use the links to mine in this document if you wish) and explore each one. Note what is different. What is visually appealing? Which is easier to navigate? Which one is the easiest to understand? The more you know your web sites, the easier it will be for you to direct your people to the right one for them!

EXCUSES

Read the 1st Chapter of Darren Hardy's "The Compound Effect". An online copy to read from your browser is here: http://www.thecompoundeffect.com/downloads/The_Compound_Effect_CH1.pdf

I do NOT recommend downloading this copy of the book. There are browser extensions attached that can make your computer whacky. Just read it from your browser. Comment below with which you would choose between $3 million in cash or the penny. Extra Credit: Read the WHOLE BOOK! Many have chosen to purchase the book after reading chapter 1!


Assignment 9

Using Facebook Lists to Control your Audience

Many worry about privacy in SBC. Friending DT's, strangers, etc. This is probably the most important thing you can learn to control your privacy on Facebook, without starting a second business profile altogether. Jackie Stewart recommends using your primary Facebook account and I agreeagree. This short 8-minute tutorial video will empower you to take control of your privacy, use your Facebook for business purposes and also maintain connection with your family and friends! Watch the video and if you wish, start grouping your "friends".

I would suggest starting with the H&S distributors. Or use the Birthday List that Lori talks about for those who have a bajillion friends!

http://loriballen.com/how-to-use-facebook-lists-control-who-sees-your-posts/

Assignment 10

Create a "Teaser" post to put on your Timelines and post in sale's groups. This will be a post that you put out there with a picture. Make it something interesting and somewhat related to weight lossweight loss/health/fitness. Post just enough to capture attention, then add something at the ends along the lines of "To see the rest, join my support group" and add your support group link.

Mine is this Sugar Addiction post. It might be a bit long for a sale group, but certainly acceptable for your Timeline.

Some other ideas: post a photo and name of a recipe...but they have to join your group to get the actual recipe. Or, a bath recipe, or a scrub, or something cool and interesting. Be sure to post the EXACT same photo in your support group so your new members can find the rest of the post.

What is something health related that is heavy on your heart? Find a photo to go with it and post.

Here is what I did: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=326029507524398&set=a.173213256139358.34358.100003520548195&type=1&theater

See how I left them hanging? And added my group link? Do this and see what happens

Assignment 11

Let's talk about REBATES! This is a great way to generate traffic and orders through your web site.

Rebates are a very effective way of getting sales through your website. The rebates are paid out by you and not the company. Basically with rebates, you are kicking back part of the Fast Start BonusBonus you are making per sale. Suggest rebates would be:
•$5 or $10 for 1 bottle
•$10 or $15 for the buy 2 get 1 free
•$15 or $20 for the buy 3 get 3 free

Rebates would be paid to the customer within 4-6 weeks of the date of purchase. The reason for this wait is because of the 30 day money back guarantee. If the customers returns the product within the 30 days, the company will deduct the Fast Start Bonus from your check. You would not want to pay out the rebate only to have the customer return the product and be out both your Rebate and Fast Start Bonus. Sometimes when I need quick salesquick sales, I will take the risk and do an Instant Cash Rebate and pay the customer right away.

When doing a Rebate offeroffer, it is best to have a time limit it on it to create urgency. If potential customers know that the rebate offeroffer is only for 3 days, then they may just jump on it.

Please Note: If you are offering rebates, please make sure to pay your new customers in a timely manner! If a customer is expecting a rebate in the mail and does not receive it, it reflects on the company! The upset customer may call corporate (not knowing the rebate is pay by you, the distributor) wondering where her rebate check is and corporate has nothing to do with it. So please, when posting Rebate offers, let your members know the rebates are coming out of your own pocket as a thank you for their order.

What do you think about offering rebates? Have you done one? No real assignment today. Let's just discuss the pros/cons of rebates!

Assignment 12

Watch Judy's training video about Why Rank Advance? Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjTO9y61LM&feature=c4-overview&list=UURgk68dL2_m8DB7tMYnjG1g (About 5 minutes) Comment with your current rank, current Enroller Tree BV, what you need to get your next rank and how much time you are giving yourself to reach that goal.

Assignment 13

SOURCE CODES

This is a very simple tool that you can use to determine where your web site hits and customers are coming from. A source code is simply a string of symbols and letters/numbers you put with your web site address. VERY easy to do.

Just set a SOURCE CODE and track your results!

When posting or emailing out the link to your Skinny Body Care website all you need to do is add the following set of characters to the end of your link and you will know where each of your leads is coming from:

/?SOURCE=yoursourcecode

Just replace the code "yoursourcecode" with whatever you want your source code to be. You can use as many different source codes as you desire, and all of those statistics will be tracked in your back office.

I use source codes all the time. I will post them here as my complete web address so you can see what yours should look like:

To track how many people visit my web site from something I post on my timeline, I do this: http://skinnyangie.sbc90.com/?SOURCE=Timeline

To track how many people visit my web site from something I post in my sale group, I do this: http://skinnyangie.eatlessfeelfull.com/?SOURCE=Group

To track how many people visit my web sites from my fan page posts:
http://skinnyangie.sbcpower.com/?SOURCE=Page

IF I am running a special, say, a rebate or Mother's Day special, I would put this:

http://skinnyangie.skinnyfiberplus.com/?SOURCE=Rebate
http://skinnyangie.tryagelesstoday.com/?SOURCE=Mom

Now, when you go in to your back office to source statistics, you will see which of your sources is getting the most traffic, which is getting the most orders, etc.

ALSO, when you have someone order, you can look them up in your Contact Manager. Click on their name and look where SOURCE is. For this customer, she is in my group and all of my links in my group have the /?SOURCE=group code attached to it.

Test this out. Use the source code: /?SOURCE=Bootcamp and post a link to one of your web sites using this added source code in the comments below. We all can click the links so you can see in your back office how many "hits" you got from us!

Tax Informatio

Business stuff

Tracking income and expenses is important for tax purposes. I did not do this for 2012 because I honestly didn't think I would make enough for it to matter. UGH. BIG mistake. Not only did I make money, BUT I made enough that for the first time in 20 years, I did NOT qualify for Earned Income Credit. IF I had tracked $400 worth of expenses, I would have qualified AND my tax refundtax refund would have been $1,400 MORE than it was.

Take the time to print the two spreadsheets and read through the PDF booklet below. I would get a 3 ring binder with some dividers and start tracking your business stuff now! Keep all receipts! Keep a mileage book. Every deduction will count come tax time next year!

The last picture is a special promotion.

Create an ad for your support group AND your timeline. Post a testimony photo (use Shelley's if you wish) and the Free GiftFree Gift photo (or make your own with Pizap). The link that you will use is your skinnyfiberplus web site. When your customers order from that link AND join auto ship, the company will send them a free bottle of Ageless with their order.

Tagging is what occurs when you create a hyperlink on Facebook to send people who click on it to a specific page, profile or group. To create one, you simply type this symbol @ and start typing the name of the person, place or group you want to create a hyperlink to. For instance, if I wanted to create a link to my profile on a post, I would type @ followed by my name "Angie Soper" (no space between the @ and my name). A box pops up and gives me the option to select myself. I click it and the link then becomes active.

On all of my public posts, I use hyperlinks to tag my personal profile, my fan page and my group. I do this so people know where to go to get more information. I will post in the comments below exactly what I add and what it looks like so you can see how they look on a post.

When your posts are shared, if you use hyperlinks, they are shared as well. This is a good thing because it gives people a direct link to YOU.

However, even good things have a negative side.

I see a lot of people tagging others on the posts on their timeline. For example, I get NUMEROUS tags that say "Mr. Smith says you work together at Skinny Body Care" and I am asked if I want to accept the tag or not. I do NOT. The reason is because if I do, then Mr. Smith's profile is hyperlinked to my account. I do not want my friends and followers going to Mr. Smith's account and purchasing products from him instead of me.

I also see MANY people who have a hyperlink to various Skinny Body Care pages in their work section. It says something along the lines of "Independent Distributor for Skinny Body Care" and the words Skinny Body Care are in blue (meaning hyperlinked) to a SBC fan page. The problem here is that this is a distributors PERSONAL PAGE that they sell from. When you link yourself to this page, you are showing ALL of your friends and followers to look at this page, LIKE this page and subsequently buy from this page because they think it is you. One such page has HUNDREDS of Distributors who are linked to it and ALL of their friends and followers get prompts from Facebook to LIKE the page too because you did. Good for the page owners, BAD for you.

Be careful which tags (hyperlinks) you allow on your timeline. Be careful which pages you LIKE on Facebook. I have my privacy settingssettings on that so that NO tags appear on my profile unless I approve them first. By being linked to all of these other distributors as coworkers, and being linked to Fan pages that are not yours, you may be giving away potential sales to another distributor and not even know it!

Assignment 24

This is a simple but IMPORTANT thing. Make this small change and be sure the people who join the 90 Day Challenge get plugged in to YOUR support group. If you do not do this, and they go to click to join the "motivational group", it will default to YOUR upline enroller.

Watch this video and change it!

Assignment 26

Because of the way Facebook works, if you don't get your friends and followers to interact with you by liking, commenting & sharing your posts, eventually they will not see your posts in their newsfeeds.

Sometimes it is good to just post something random, just to get people responding. No links attached, no invitationsinvitations, just pure, plain socializing!

This is what I posted and let me tell you, my PM's BLEW UP! And I had people answering who I haven't had a PM interaction with in OVER one year!! (Which just goes to show that they ARE watching, even if they are NOT commenting/liking/sharing)

Post a photo of a giraffe. Any photo of a giraffe. Then, post this. The answer will be in the comments on this post!:
************************************************

Timeline Posting:

You will see other DT's on your team posting recipes, DIY crafts, home remedies, etc. on their timelines. Special Groups are set up where you can obtain content that you can use. Do not take photos from blogs or other copyrighted web sites and post them UNLESS you get express consent to use their content. Many distributors have created their own versions of recipes and craft project and have shared them here and are considered "Safe". If you infringe on a copyrighted work, and you post it on Facebook, you could lose your Facebook account. Be safe and don't use anything that doesn't come from a safe group:

If you don't WANT to make your own recipes, here are the "safe zone" pages that SBC distributors have contributed to that you are welcome to share from These are all SECRET groups so that they are NOT searchable by any means. Someone already in must add you-- If you have a down line, please then add your down line to each group-- content is different on all groups so there are a lot of good ones in each one
