Looking Forward to Labor Day

Hi everybody, this is Brian from GettingPaidToEat.com, and as I sit here trying to finish up the work day and get into our labor day weekend coming up, I can not think of a better time to talk about Ménage Innovations.

I know that most of you reading this blog are most likely distributors yourselves, but to those of you who are considering this home business opportunity ask yourself these important questions.
  • Wouldn't it be great to work from home?
  • Wouldn't it be great to not have a boss?
  • Wouldn't it be great to spend more time with your family?
  • Wouldn't it be great if all of your hard work in efforts solely went to increasing your bottom line?

Labor day is an extended holiday given to us as appreciation for all of our hard work, but how appreciated are we at work? I know most of you can relate to the fact that regardless of how hard we work or how much we produce for our boss or company, we see very little appreciation in the form of a raise, or more time off, or more freedom in the workplace. So, I ask you wouldn't it be great if all of your hard work and efforts were spent making a better future for you and your family?

With Menage Innovations and GettingPaidToEat.com that's exactly what your hard work and effort will do. Getting past the first step and making the commitment to join the Ménage Innovations family of distributors is the hardest step. I know that personally I dwelled over the decision for weeks after hearing the initial presentation. I could not believe that everything I've heard about multi level marketing or Network Marketing were not true. However, once I dropped my skepticism and truly looked at the home business opportunity by its merits and not the negativity and misinformation surrounding the industry I began to see a new future for me and my family.

So, as you celebrate this Labor Day weekend take the time to celebrate yourself and get off the sidelines and get into the game and join gettingpaidtoeat.com and Menage Innovations and begin securing your future. Remember, we're all in this together and your success is our success.

Brian Barrett

Be Sure to "Prep" your food before grilling

Hello Team, Maria Atkins contacted me with a tid bit of information that I believe that you will find helpful in preparing and serving your Menage Food Products, especially the Beef Products.

Menage food products have been vacuum sealed for freshness. This means that the air has been completely removed from the packaging. It is important to remove meat products from the packaging, rinse under cold water, and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before grilling/cooking. This will allow oxygen back into the meat and will ensure that the texture will be great and the flavor outstanding.

Thanks

Joe Lasher

New Product Pricing Comparisons

Everyone using our slides to help train and present for their teams needs to take note of this latest change:

Omaha Steaks has increased their sale price to $69.99 (regularly $91.00)
for 6 - 6oz. bacon wrapped filets. Shipping is $15.99.

We remain at $49.99 everyday for 8 - 6oz. filets. Shipping is $11.99.

Menage remains very competitively priced in the Dry-Ice Ship-to-Home market which is our target market.

Omaha Steaks = $14.33 per filet incl. shipping

Menage = $7.75 per filet incl. shipping

By the way, our grocery store, Kroger, is selling bacon wrapped filets for $2 per pound more than Menage. I heard we beat the better restaurants by a mile. I wouldn't know. I have stopped eating steak out.

Show the plan daily and you will succeed if you plug into meetings twice weekly. The reward is there for those who will work.

Call me anytime to help you,

Good morning MWYE Team!

I hope that you all are having a GREAT week! We had a very productive meeting last night in Weaverville. I want to welcome our newest team member and Menage Distributor, Vinny Aleman. Vinny, WELCOME! The success of our entire network depends on the success of the individual Distributor. This means that you have an entire team that is 100% dedicated to YOUR success....take advantage of this support by attending meetings and webinars as well as asking questions of your sponsor and upline. Congratulations on your decision to join the fastest growing, most motivated Menage team to date.

***Promotion Update****
YOU can still win $100 cash! All you have to do is refer the most prospects to our MWYE team webinars during the month of August. Prospects MUST register and attend to be counted. Current Menage distributors can only be counted once during the month regardless of how many webinars they attend.

Are you a spectator or participator? I'm watching the downline and will acknowledge the MWYE "Top 5" at the end of the month. The top five recruiters and the top five with the highest gross PBV. There's no cash prize, just bragging rights.

Remember, the same wind blows on us all.....it's the set of the sale that determines where you end up. Sometimes the wind comes out of your sail, but if you keep it set, the wind WILL return. Stay the course.....

Talk with you soon!

Are You In the Game?

Hello Team,

Over the last 10 days, the MWYE Team has sponsored 5 Different Taste & Tell Events. In multiple States. That is AWESOME activity. Let's keep it up!

Remember, there are two types of people in this business, spectators and participators.....which are you? All it takes to be a participator is a little ambition with an inkling of desire. Some of you are still "I.O.F." status (ignorance on fire).....don't ever lose that feeling that you have right now....it's what will carry you through the ups and downs of MLM. Some of you have been to multiple meetings, attended webinars, and have tried all the products.....congratulations, you've graduated from "I.O.F." status.....you've lost the "I", but are you still "on fire"...?

Let's all get in the game and make our best effort to have folks attend our upcoming "Opportunity Meetings" and MWYE Team Webinars. These meetings are priceless and are sometimes just the "shot in the arm" that a distributor might need to keep him/her off the sidelines and on the playing field.

REMINDER: OPPORTUNITY MEETING TUESDAY, (tomorrow), 8/19/2008, 55 N. Main St, Weaverville, M7 Realty Office 645.5600 for directions.
***NOTE***please respond to this email if you plan to attend and the approx. number of guests you will have with you....space is limited.

Take that ambition and desire to the street. I challenge you to tell ONE person that you DO NOT know about Menage this week. What's the worst that can happen???

As always, you have my best,

Menage Octoberfest in Asheville, NC

Menage Octoberfest In Asheville, NC

Crest Mountain will once again be our beautiful backdrop as we invite current distributors and guests to join all 3 Menage owners(including Menage CEO Carroll Lewis) for an action packed weekend.

Details will follow in the next week but the weekend will offer a Friday evening Taste and Tell, Saturday morning training session(open to distributors and guests) and a Saturday evening Taste and Tell as the finale. Look for the details next week!!!


Menage Innovations

10 Taste & Tells

SSR Holdings Menage Team(Sam Kelly)
8.15.08


I have said many times in meetings "What if you had multiple Taste and Tell's being held across this country(in your downline) on a Monday night, two to three years from now, and you had an opportunity to make money in every one of those homes". Would you like that? That is the definition of True Leverage. It starts with one Taste and Tell @ a time but last night, LEADERSHIP all across this country stepped up(Brandon, MS, Jackson, MS, Brookhaven, MS, Lake Toxaway, NC, Asheville, NC, Jackson, TN, Olive Branch, MS, etc) to make it happen.

Recognition needs to go to Mary Lynn McPherson/Alan Silverblott(Mississippi), Joe Lasher(North Carolina), J & R Mgmt Group (Carolinas), Bean/Herron's(Jackson, TN), Jones/Endeya/Holmes Team (Western N. Carolina), Hitchcocks/Malenky's (DeSoto County), Dowell's(Mississippi Delta Region), Ashley/Lofton's(Brookhaven, MS), Hinckle/Meadow's (Asheville, NC) and many, many more.


Two main things to reflect on as you come into the back stretch of the month of August.

Number One- Whomever produces the most Silvers, wins the GAME....period, end of story....

Number Two-You want to teach and train your people to host Taste and Tell's all down in your organization througout the week and weekend. Remember, true leverage is making money while you are not there. This business is about getting paid on what you start and not what you finish. Remember, the "first wave" can work Menage 3-5 years and after that it will take someone, with the same ability, 6-9 years to make the same amount of money. The opportunity is there. Now, it is yours for the taking.

My family and I are so grateful to have such quality people in this business with us.

Sam Kelly

Succeed vs. Accomplish

Silver Distributor, Teresa Hester, sent me this quote. I had to share it.


The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

-Unknown

I heard about a survey where people were asked which they wanted most - success or accomplishment.

The vast majority of people wanted success. Isn't interesting that success can not come before accomplishment.

Remember, few are the laborers, but the harvest is plentiful.

Gold Masters Training

Gold Master Training and Empire Foods Tour

Hello Team Menage!

Mark, Carroll, and I will be holding the Gold Master Training class from 1pm to 3pm on August 1st in conjunction with the convention, MIL 08.
You do not have to be Gold to attend. Anyone that would like to receive the master training may pay their Gold Master Training fee ($250) and attend the class. Upon reaching the level of Gold, your Gold Master Trainer position will become active allowing you to receive the $40 training bonuses for any Bronze Trainer in your Gold code that you train. For example, a Gold Master Trainer that has achieved the title of Gold and has attended a Gold Master Training class will be paid $40 when they train any new Bronze Trainer entering their Gold Team.

Each year upon the annual anniversary of a person's Gold Master Training, the Gold Master Trainer may renew their training position by paying $199 for their recertification and yearly training class.

The Training is an excellent and essential way to take your business and trainings to the next level. We will focus on the aspects of wealth generation through the compensation plan generated by relationship and team building and product sales.

Sam Kelly, 2008 top money earner, had this to say about the training, "If you are a serious leader dedicated to producing wealth for your family and your team you won't want to miss this training. Attending my first Gold Master Training opened my eyes to how powerful the compensation plan is and how we have the opportunity to be first in a company that is setting new records in the industry. I will be attending again this year with all my leaders."

We will also be offering a tour of the Empire Foods Plant. The visit to the plant will be a great opportunity to see how the food is packaged and experience the quality and cleanliness of the process. Until you see it for yourself it is hard to imagine how much of a first class operation Empire has and how big they are. We are truly fortunate to have such a great partner for our company. The tour will begin at 10am on Friday August 1st.

Mark, Carroll, and I hope to see you there.

Big Week

Hello Team,

Here we are, moving into the last week of July, 2008. I don't know about you, but this month has flown by for me. It's been an odd month for our business. Summer Vacations have definitely put a dent in to our recruiting and team building opportunities. I know that we have several folks that are interested in becoming involved with our business, but might be on the fence. I'd like to help you in any way possible by making calls, emails, etc. After all, it's that type of support that will make us all successful.

Here are some reminders:

The Piano Story

The following is taken from "Your First Year in Network Marketing" by Mark and Rene Yarnell. If you don't have the book...it could be the best $16 you spend this weekend.

The Piano Story:

Imagine an audience of 500 people seated before a stage with a grand piano. suddenly, out walks a person who has never had even one lesson and knows nothing about music. After the applause dissipates, he very aggressively begins to bang out horrible combinations of sounds that literally hurt one's ears. At first, the audience glances around the room in utter shock and disbelief. Following a full ten minutes of pathetic piano beating, the audience begins to boo and hiss. Within a couple of minutes, their boos drown out the performer, who calmly stands, bows and walks off.

As the hacker exits, a pianist with thirty years experience enters from the other side of the stage. He methodically and flawlessly plays a beautiful Mozart concerto. When he's finished, the crowd leaps to its feet and gives him a thunderous ovation as the bows two or three times, then exits the stage.

In the dressing room the expert pianist notices that the first performer is gently humming to himself and adjusting his tie before leaving. Although the expert pianist is somewhat embarrassed to bring up the subject, his curiosity finally gets the best of him. He smiles in the mirror at the first performer, and asks the question:

"Forgive me for intruding, but I notice you aren't particularly offended by what just happened out there. I have to ask you, what's it like to be booed off the stage? I mean, isn't it horribly degrading?"

The gentleman turns around so that he is facing the pianist and with all seriousness responds, "Oh no. I didn't take it personally. I was the Piano."

Perhaps one of the most interesting elements of human nature is our tendency - and to a greater or lesser degree we all possess it - to place blame elsewhere. The truth is, while many people criticize our industry after they fail, it's not the fault of the industry. As in the preceding story, a poor musician can't legitimately blame the piano for his lack of talent.

*****

Let's share this story with each other. Let's become experts in our industry. The only way that can happen is by attending meetings; spending time with other distributors; reading books; watching videos; listening to cd's; attending webinars; finding Mentors; etc. Take advantage of all educational opportunities and the sky will be the limit for you through your new venture with Menage Innovations, Inc.

All my best,

Joe Lasher

Gold Training

Hello Team Menage!
Mark, Carroll, and I will be holding the Gold Master Training class from 1pm to 3pm on August 1st in conjunction with the convention, MIL 08.
You do not have to be a Gold to attend. Anyone that would like to receive the master training may pay their Gold Master Training fee ($250) and attend the class. Upon reaching the level of Gold, your Gold Master Trainer position will become active allowing you to receive the $40 training bonuses for any Bronze Trainer in your Gold code that you train. For example, a Gold Master Trainer that has achieved the title of Gold and has attended a Gold Master Training class will be paid $40 when they train any new Bronze Trainer entering their Gold Team.
Each year upon the annual anniversary of a person's Gold Master Training, the Gold Master Trainer may renew their training position by paying $199 for their recertification and yearly training class.
The training is an excellent and essential way to take your business and trainings to the next level. We will focus on the aspects of wealth generation through the compensation plan generated by relationship and team building and product sales.
Sam Kelly, 2008 top money earner, had this to say about the training, "If you are a serious leader dedicated to producing wealth for your family and your team you won't want to miss this training. Attending my first Gold Master Training opened my eyes to how truly powerful the compensation plan is and how we have the opportunity to be first in a company that is setting new records in the industry. I will be attending again this year with all my leaders."
We will also be offering a tour of the Empire Foods Plant. The visit to the plant will be a great opportunity to see how the food is packaged and experience the quality and cleanliness of the process. Until you see it for your self it is hard to imagine how much of a first class operation Empire has and how big they are. We are truly fortunate to have such a great partner for our company. The tour will begin at 10am on Friday August 1st. Please call the office to make your reservations for the tour.
Mark, Carroll, and I hope to see you there.

How To Build Your Business

I wanted to share with you all some of the key elements it takes to grow your business.

1. First, take the time to send every new representive a hand written, personal card. Guys, this is a very important part of building a huge team. The reason I do it, and the reason I suggest you do it, is because every team member appreciates someone that goes over and above to make them feel welcome.

2. Once a new rep comes in the system(anywhere in your downline), the first five minute touch is vital. "Welcome them on board" and ask them if there is anything you can do to help them get out of the gate. First of all, tell them what to say(please tell them not to present this over the phone!) to set up an appointment with a prospect in one minute or less. Secondly, encourage them to host their own "taste and tell" with a minimum of two people.


3. Keep those five minute daily touches to as many reps as possible. As your organization grows, you want to focus on two areas. First, the newest reps that have come into your business and secondly, your leaders all down in your organization.

4. Lastly, it is very important to continue to personal sponsor along the way.
This continuous new growth allows your paychecks to continue to rise.


I personally think that implementing these few small ideas is the main reason people succeed in this business.

We are on our way to having a record breaking July!! Call me if I can help you in any way.

Your Gold Upline,

A Little Slow Getting Started

I know, I know, it has taken me much longer to get the site up and running, but there is a lot to talk about when we start talking about Menage Innovations and what I consider to be one of the best home businesses out there. So, getting all the content and videos generated has taken me much longer than I had anticipated, but its getting closer and why launch a half completed website. I will be slowly adding content to this blog and to www.gettingpaidtoeat.com so stayed tuned. Looking forward to having this forum operational so we can all keep up with one another.
