Helpful Video

Good Morning Team!

I was searching the internet for helpful training and motivational tools that I could share with you and I found three 10 minute video clips by Tim Sales, a giant in MLM. He's a phenomenal trainer, especially since he started out just like the rest of us....doing something else. Please take time to watch at least this first "YouTube" video entitled: "MLM: Do Most People Fail?". In this clip, Tim wants YOU to know that you have chosen a phenomenal industry with potential to change your, and your family's, lifestyle. Naysayers and other negative people will tell you that you shouldn't (or they wouldn't) join an MLM because "most people fail at it". Well...I have two things in response to that.....

1....you can't fail unless you try. Like I've said before, there are two kinds of people in this world - Spectators and Participators. Spectators never fail because they never try, they just sit on the porch (comfort zone) and watch all of us strive for our goals, ridiculing all the way. By joining our team, you are a participator!

2...be a leader, not a follower. Make up your own mind, don't let others decide what you will or won't do based on THEIR experience. What if Lance Armstrong decided to not ride to victory in the Tour De France because a guy like me who couldn't ride a bike up my own steep drive told him "You can't win that...most people fail"? Because he rode, he won multiple times setting and breaking records. I think you get the picture.....if someone says you can't, fuel your fire with it....go harder, achieve your goals. YOU CAN!

Here is the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FclI8hGQgb4

Let's get those prospects into the system over the weekend and move hard into mid-October!

Thanks for all you are doing...

Pickup Orders at Menage Innovations

Menage Innovations is proud to provide the pickup service to local reps to be able to pick up products at the home office. However, the last several weeks we have had many products left unclaimed. Beginning next week, October 13, any products unclaimed by 3pm each week by Friday will be discarded and not replaced or refunded. Distributors need to make arrangements to have their products picked up or shipped if they know that they will not be able to pick them up.
The USDA will not permit the return of a food product to the food plant once it leaves the premises. Further, we have no freezer space at the Menage home office to store product.

Thank you for your understanding and hard work.

Gourmet Food for Every Taste and Budget

Gourmet Food for Every Taste and Budget

Hello Team Menage.

Mark, Carroll, and I had a great visit to North Carolina last weekend. The meetings were fantastic and the hospitality and food was outstanding. On Friday night over 180 people attended the Taste and Tell hosted by Joe Lasher and his team at Crest Mountain.
The quality of the training the next morning was perhaps one of the best we have had with 108 people in attendance. Ray Croyle and Ron Goss hosted a Taste and Tell Saturday night to end the weekend. In just a few short months team NC has grown to several hundred people strong and still growing. What is more amazing, most of the people in Menage in North Carolina are from just one small area of the state. The sky is the limit.

Many great questions have come up lately about our wonderful gourmet food. Menage has made great strides over the past two years adding a large variety of food products in various popular categories. When we opened, we had only three products: bacon wrapped beef filet, bacon wrapped chicken breast, and a bacon wrapped pork loin. Now we have dozens of combinations of food products and are adding more.

Our goal has been and is to provide great gourmet food items in numerous categories to fit any family budget. We also have a variety of choices to fit every pallet. For example, let’s examine our beef products. We have the Bacon Wrapped Beef Filet, our #1 selling value pack, which is cut to 6oz and individually packed in sets of 8 filets. This product is a great value for large families on a budget or a great item for any individual that prefers just one steak at a time or more. This filet is USDA upper select, center cut, and is marinated in a beef broth solution.
For the more refined pallet, we recommend the USDA choice filets (4 6oz 0r 4 8oz). These steaks are the highest quality on our menu and compare to Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Once you try this filet you will be hard pressed to find another filet that will match the flavor and tenderness.

Keep in mind that every pallet is different and that people from different regions of the country prefer different flavors and products. Talk to your customers and new distributors about what type of products they prefer. If you have a family that often eats at O’Charleys or Applebee’s, they might prefer the Bacon Wrapped Filet. If you have a family that prefers a Ruth’s Chris Steak House, they might prefer our top of the line choice beef products. We have something for every taste bud and budget.

Keep up the momentum into October. Host a Taste and Tell around your favorite sporting event: college game day, Monday Night Football, NASCAR etc.

Menage Innovations FYI

Good evening Team Menage.

After much deliberation and consideration, we must raise the shipping charges per category to offset the rising fuel surcharges that FedEx has increasingly assessed Menage over the past two years.
We are proud that we have been able to hold the rate constant while our competitors have repeatedly raised their shipping prices over the past two years. For example, Omaha Steaks has risen from $12.99 to $16.99 for a cooler up to $80. More specifically, our products that have shipped for $11.99 (cooler up to $100) will now be $13.99. Even with the rate increase we are still less than most of our competitors in the dry ice shipping business.

Fuel surcharges from all major carriers have risen drastically due to rising fuel costs over the past 8 months. In turn the expense has been continuously forwarded to carrier clients including Menage.
Please examine the "Menage Shipping Schedule" for a detailed explanation of shipping charges and special delivery charges.
Once again thank you for your understanding of the rate increase and for being part of our growing national team.
