"No" - Doesn't Mean No Forever
I have been in sales/marketing and recruiting for many years. What I have found, is that "no" does not mean "no forever....just no, not right now". Everybody has different pushes and pulls in their lives. personal, family and professional events, pressures and activities that cause them to look at opportunities differently at different times. A "no" decision today could change tomorrow. Someone with a job today, could get notice of being laid off tomorrow. His/her situation has changed, and they may be more open to a great career opportunity - like the NuSkin program. So, don't get discouraged and give up on someone you talk to about our program.

The "Something Better"............
The Something Better of the Present or the Near-Term Future:
When we examine where we are today, it’s tempting to forever dream of improving our circumstances by living somewhere else, by associating with other people, or by pursuing a different professional direction. Such dreams can be the critical path to personal fulfillment and growth, or the road to disappointments based on our willingness (or unwillingness) to act on them. Put simply, dreaming of something better without taking action to make those dreams a reality is the road to extreme frustration. We envision the something better as optimal, but our current situation becomes increasingly unbearable by comparison if we don’t take tangible steps toward something better. But by using something better as a way to motivate ourselves to action, we suddenly become dynamic players in creating our own futures. And something better becomes the animating influence for a greater sense of personal growth and fulfillment.

We Get Paid on Moving Products
During a recent conversation with a prospective Distributor, the question was asked "how does a NuSkin Distributors got paid?". The husband and wife team were turned off my plans that pay Distributors for recruiting others. They were very pleased to know that NuySkin does "not" pay Distributors to recruit people. As Distributors, we all get paid on volume of products moved through the NuSkin "supply channel", which is direct from NuSkin warehouses to the customer. The reason we recruit other Distributors, is that NuSkins' compensation plan pays on gross volume of products sold and distributed through the organizations we build. The compensation plan pays Distributors for building an organization that increases volume. Distributors get paid on their organization's volume because we add new Distributors. Our commission rate of 5% of volume increases to 10% with each Distributor that becomes an Executive. This plan that pays for both "levels" of Distributors and "generations" of Executives is the Cadillac in the network marketing industry. The more product we move through our organizations, the more we get paid. It is simple and very lucrative.

Don't Sell - Tell The Story and Show Pictures
"But I don't know how to sell", says the person considering becoming a NuSkin Distributor. We "Tell the Story, and Show pictures". Present the facts and let people make an informed decision about joining NuSkin. Each of us has a story to tell. Larry has been in network marketing for years and has made lots of money working for NuSkin. Tom uses his executive search firm to help people out of work, get back to work being an entrepreneur and business owner. Andrew can offer NuSkin products to his real estate customers. Heather is involved with health and fitness and provides a more youthful solution to her contacts. Once you believe in the strength of the company and the quality of the products, it becomes easy to form your own story and show the pictures. NuSkin has some very good marketing materials, great videos and nothing works like showing the Galvanic Spa and ageLoc/Tru Face Essence Ultra during a face-to-face meeting.
Baby Boomers Make "Millionaires"
Since WWII in the mid-1940's, corporations and people have made millions of dollars off the baby boomers. And that target market - the Baby Boomers, are again making millionaires. NuSkin is selling $10 million a day with the new ageLOC/Galvanic Spa/Tru Face Essence Ultra product line. And Distributors like you and me can be millionaires, if we follow the proven NuSkin methods of building a business. Products like Gerber's Baby Food, the Hoola Hoop, Davey Crocket Racoon Caps, Thunderbird, minivans, home Mortgages, etc - and yes, products of NuSkin that offer a solution to a more youthful appearance. Products that not only take off 7-12 years of age, but can keep the 'elastin" in the skin. Even the younger Gen X and Gen Y population groups want to eliminate wrinkles, lines, cellulite and other unwanted visual signs of aging. Business strategist say that our products targeted at these age groups are perfect in today's society.
Why is NuSkin "Recession" proof?
Why is NuSkin growing at 25% per year and will grow from $1.250,000,000 to over $5 billion in the next three to five years? This is unheard of during this economic crisis, which is the worst since the great depression that occurred after the crash of our stock market in 1929. Because this great, 25 year old, financially solid, NYSE traded, D&B 5A-1 rated corporation has great products. Great products that are emotional, and consumable. People will purchase products that work over and over, if they work - even during a recession. And NuSkin products not only work, but they are high on the "must have" list for every user. People want to look good, stay younger looking and keep their skin tight, wrinkle/line free and smooth looking. The answer is simple, the right product at the right time. When companies are laying off people, not hiring new employees, and closing their doors - NuSkin is growing at exponential rates. NuSkin is really a recession free coproation.

Window of Opportunity; Sense of Urgency
Marketing and Product Managers that handle brands for major corporations like NuSkin, utilize statistical patterns to track and mark product life cycles. The statistical pattern used to track consumable/reusable products like ageLOC/Galvanic Spa/Tru Face Essence Ultra is the traditional "bell curve". Describing the bell curve - it is moving upward slowly, then turns rapidly upward in an explosive pattern and levels off, or plateaus. These three NuSkin products were released in mid-January 2009 of this year. Today, we are in the slow growth period, but are rapidly approaching that explosive growth period, where the pattern turns substantially upward. The "window of opportunity" is probably two to three years. What's the point? From a product managers point of view, now is the best time to invest and get involved with the NuSkin products, because we are at or in the pre-growth part of the bell curve.
In building an organization, there is a "sense of urgency" for two reasons. First, is the window of opportunity in the product life cycle pattern described above. Distributors want to bring others into their organizations during the pre-growth stage, when competition is less and opportunity to leverage products is at their greatest. Second, these are emotional and consumable products. Like all products developed, marketed and sold to the baby boomers, this targeted market is right for staying healthier and looking younger. Companies and people have made millions developing, promoting and selling products to the 90 million baby boomers in the US alone.
