Creating Wealth with Taste n Tells

Creating Wealth Through Taste and Tells



December is the perfect month to host a Taste and Tell home party for your Menage business. Prospects are in the mode of attending Christmas parties and are looking for social events that will be fun and not be expensive.

Menage Innovations offers a unique and exciting way to build a profitable business through the Taste and Tell program. With food as a focal point in our lives for most business functions and social gatherings, especially at Christmas time, Menage’s Delicious Gourmet Food is the perfect product for any occasion and home party. Simply invite prospective team members and customers to attend your Taste and Tell home party. Prepare your favorite Ménage Gourmet Food items with your special touch and favorite recipes. Let the group “Taste” the wonderful gourmet food and “Tell” them about the products and business opportunity.

In addition, you can plan your Taste and Tells as stand alone home parties or in conjunction with your favorite sporting events. If the Taste and Tell is planned around a sporting event, begin one hour before the sporting event is set to start. The SEC, ACC, and Big 12 Championship games will provide a great opportunity to bring prospects and reps together. The bowl games will also provide great opportunities to host fun and exciting Taste and Tells. Everyone will have a chance to sample the great gourmet food and hear about the products and business opportunity before the sporting event begins. The pulled pork BBQ and Memphis Style Ribs will go a long way with several guests at the Taste and Tells. The Spiral Ham and appetizers will also feed a large group of people.

The top Menage money earners are personally hosting or helping their teams host Taste and Tells. The most effective way to close a prospect and bring them onto the team is to show the plan “two on one” with you and your sponsor prior to inviting the prospect to the Taste and Tell. Because they have already seen the business presentation and are familiar with what we do, the Taste and Tell experience drives home the fun, food, great social time, and income that can be earned. The Taste and Tells create an atmosphere and experience unlike any other company that they may have ever experienced.

Work with your upline and plan your personal Taste and Tell today and watch your income grow.

Lets Go Silver

Team,

Mark unveiled an exciting increase in promotions and payments available to all SILVER distributors. I want to list those out for you from current benefit, current promotion, and new promotion. Those of you that are Silver can look forward to all of this NOW. Those of you that are working toward Silver, this should motivate you to move hard and fast toward that goal.

Current Silver Benefit:
1: $50 Coded $ to UNLIMITED depths (50/10/5/2.5) **if that confuses you, please get with your SPONSOR today and ask for some basic training****

2: 4 Distributors in your Silver line (whether you put them in or not) qualifies you for one share of the companywide .50 cent product pool. **again, basic training is required immediately if that confuses you**

Current Silver Promotion:
SIX (6) new distributors in your Silver line in 1 month and the company retro's back and turns those $50's into $65's.

NEW SILVER PROMOTION:
TEN (10) new distributors in your Silver line in 1 month and the company retro's back and turns the $50's/$65's into $100's. That's $1000 in the month and YOU PERSONALLY do not have to sponsor one person. Anyone in your Silver line that throws you $50 when they recruit a new team member can make that money for you.

I asked Mark Younger on the phone last night if this was a "Desperate Move" by the company to jump start Reps. He said, "Joe, this is a sign of company strength. We've grown almost 30% since we made the changes to start up costs. We're taking profits that we're making and throwing back to the field and we'll continue to do so until we all make it big.". I believe him.

I hope this email will be inspirational to those of us that have already achieved the Silver level. Let's get on the phone and contact our Bronze Distributors and ask "HOW CAN I HELP YOU"... For those of you that are Bronze and want to move to Silver Quickly....it starts with your three front line....USE YOUR UPLINE, INCLUDING ME, to get that team started. Then HELP those three find one each....BAM, you'll be Silver and will start to enjoy the coded money and the other promotions.

What's the key to all of this? Show the plan daily and remain confident that you are offering someone a true gift, the gift of opportunity. I believe in you all!

Thanks for all you do!

Pick Up Orders

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, we often have products that go unclaimed and are left sitting in our pick up area through the week. Gourmet Food products must be picked up no later than 3pm on Friday of each week or they 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.

I just took the below quote of 247wallstreet.com:

The unemployment rate was 6.1% in September. In the deep recession of 1973/1974, the unemployment rate reached almost 9%. There are currently about 148 million people in the US civilian workforce. If unemployment rises to nearly 10%, another six million or more people would be out of work.


I am sure not the "sharpest knife in the drawer" but I need someone to tell me a better answer, in these hard economic times, than Menage Innovations. What are they going to do. Go get a job in retail. NOT HIRING. For $199/398, they can "shoot" at this all day long. Why are our numbers the best they have ever been starting a new month...why you ask..because people are coming, most don't have a choice. Some people will NEVER do this industry. They think they are "too good" for it or to be blunt, don't believe in themselves enough to fight thru and build it. You don't need that many people! We have just sponsored 37 front level and now have exactly 1,139 reps below us.

Pier One Imports
Talbots
Chico's

What do all these stores have in common? They are all weighed down with much debt and with retail sales going down, they are all on the brink of disaster.

Show that plan today to someone because there is a very good chance, THEY NEED IT.

Asheville Menage Meeting

Team,
Beginning tomorrow Tuesday 12/2 we will begin conducting our Tuesday night weekly opportunity meetings at the home of Joe and Lesli Meadows The meetings will begin at 6:30. Please be sure to touch base with your team members to encourage them to attend.

Our weekly meeting provides a great opportunity for you to bring your prospective distributors to hear the business opportunity presented as well as for you to learn through repetition and to stay connected.

Below are directions to Joe and Lesli's house.

From 1-26: coming from Hendersonville

Take the Airport Road Exit:
Turn right and go all the way to Hwy 25.
Cross Hwy 25 – straight- onto Hwy 25A
Go approx ¼ mile and turn right onto Weston Go up to crest of hill and over and immediately turn left onto Oak Terrace Go 1 block and turn right onto Weston again Go about ¾ mile- or- after crest of second hill - and turn right into Turnberry Subdivision.
Take the first Left onto Canterbury and keep straight to the end of the culdesac.
We are #16 on the right corner- behind the trees.

Please park at the road so we can get our numerous vehicles in and out.

From Hwy 25 South
Take Mills Gap Rd ( at the KFC) from Hwy 25 – go across Sweeten creek at the light Turn right on Weston at the stop light Turn left into Turnberry subdivision Turn left on Canterbury- 1st road Go to the end and park on the circle.
#16 Canterbury is on the right corner of culdesac.

Things Aren't What They Seem

If the following scenario doesn't apply to you, then consider yourself Lucky during these times.

John and Suzy Public have been "rolling thru" life the past 5 years or so doing just about whatever they want financially in life. A $325,000 Beautiful French Country home and two cars in the driveway (his a new Infiniti sportscar and hers a GMC Suburban to carry their kids off to the private school they attend).

Then his partly commission based job started to be effected by the downturn in the economy and that $2,500-$5,000 Christmas bonus he used every year to pay off his Christmas credit card debt is no longer available. His salary is suffering due to down sales and now they, as a family, wonder how they are going to keep up their lifestyle.

In a perfect world, they would sell their home fast (homes are selling, just not as fast in most areas of the country) and get a little smaller home. Very hard to do right now. Dump off those two cars for used ones (because they are carrying around 1,100/month in two car notes). Hard to do right now in the car arena. So his only option is to make more money.

I know, he can go get a job working retail or something similar. Wait a minute, most companies (including retail) are not hiring as much right now as this time last year. THERE IS A SELECT FEW PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE KIND OF INCOME THAT WILL NOT DO MENAGE, QUITE FRANKLY, THEY DON'T NEED TO. HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY IN MY CITY AND YOURS NEED THE EXTRA INCOME RIGHT NOW. It is your job to show it to them. If they want to pass on it, you are still going to be their friend but at least you threw out the life raft and gave them a chance to grab on.

Working Through the Holidays

Hello Team Menage.

Many people underestimate the power of building a business during the Holidays and assume that very few people would be interested. However, contrary to belief November and December are two key months in the industry. Despite the economy, people are already in a spending mode. Before I experienced this dynamic as a distributor I had trouble understanding. During my first year in networking in 2001 the country had just experienced the tragedy of 9-11 leaving the fall of the stock market and job losses in its wake. Similar to what we are now experiencing with the down economy and contrary to what one might have expected, my business doubled in November over October and doubled again in December. In fact, the largest meeting that I had ever had to date was the Thursday between Christmas and New Years. I did not plan a meeting for that week but the team said they had family in from out of town and wanted me to hold a meeting. That night we had to ask the distributors to go outside so all the guests could have a place to sit. One of the guests that came joined and went on to put in 7000 reps becoming a top money earner in that company.

Second, people are looking for a way to earn additional cash to pay for Christmas. Many people must come to grips with their income and household expenses each Christmas. At no other time of year is cash flow on the forefront of people’s lives than the Holidays. Before networking rescued me, I would find myself going deeper and deeper into debt each Christmas with credit cards. I would charge Christmas and hope to have it paid off by the next Christmas. Many people are out there just like me looking for a financial solution. Therefore, show the business to as many people as you can and give them a way to earn additional cash to go towards Christmas and debt.

Third, people are looking ahead to year end tax debt. More and more people are becoming savvy to tax write offs and tax credits. Share with them the benefits of owning their own home based business. The expense of the business ($398 or $199) is a tax credit and any expense used to run their business can be deducted. For example, any business related expenses such as meals, mileage or gas, hotel, cell phone, internet, and a portion of home expenses may be included.

More over, Holiday’s are a wonderful time to share Menage Innovations with new prospects. You will see friends and relatives during Thanksgiving and Christmas that you haven’t seen in a long time. If you are hosting a dinner or party, serve your Menage Gourmet foods for your guests to enjoy. Let them know that the great food is part of your line of products from your new business. Many of your guests will want to know how they can make income from home just like you are. Others may wish to become customers.

Another great business builder is using Menage products as gifts for your friends and family. How many people have you known that became aware of Omaha Steaks from a gift? Many became customers and later sent someone else a gift from Omaha Steaks. Take the same approach and give or send your Christmas list recipients a gift from Menage along with product brochures and your online store website. Teach your team to do the same thing and watch your business grow.

When you mail out your Christmas cards this year be sure to include information about your new online business. A simple note or PS at the end of your message with your website address will peak their interest. Offer them the promo code if you wish giving them $10 off the retail price to further increase their curiosity. Include a flyer or brochure promoting your business and products. A simple way is to copy the front page of your online store showing the Holiday ham. Be creative and share your ideas with your team. If you have an idea you would like to share with everyone please email distributor services.

Keep in mind that prospecting and building is like sowing seeds. You can’t just plant one corn kernel and expect it to grow an entire field of corn. Sow as many seeds as you can. Also, the corn doesn’t come up over night and produce a rich harvest. The corn seed must be cared for throughout the long process. The young plant must be fertilized, watered, protected from weeds, birds, bugs, etc. Likewise, many of the seeds you are sowing through the Holidays will be harvested in January and February.

Take advantage of the Fast Starts, the Silver Bonus after 6 equaling $65 each, the Silver in 6 promotions, and the Pool money.

By the way, the Southern Pecan Pie will create a “WOW factor” at every Holiday meal!

Have a great and prosperous week.

Motivation vs. Inspiration

I was talking with one of our Orlando distributors today. Rick Humphreys reminded me that people either motivate themselves or not. We can only inspire one another. Fear is our major motivator. It will either motivate us to take action or not. Fear of failure keeps people from realizing their potential or it makes us successful. It is no different with Menage.

I am afraid of failure. Going to meetings, doing webinars, calling new suspects, showing the plan and showing my team I care are easy when I consider failure as the alternative. When I have trouble picking up the phone to call a new suspect I remember my fear of failure. I know I will fail 100% if I do not make the call. I know I will fail only 80% if I make the call since two out of ten suspects will become good prospects and ultimately a distributor. This failure rate would make us a millionaire in pro sports.

This failure rate will make us a million a year with Menage.

People need Menage now more than ever. It is amazing to be in a business that is growing while our economy is shrinking. All indications are we are at the right place, at the right time with the right products. The commitment and character of our owners, being debt free, first to MLM in an emerging market with the largest privately owned food broker in America just adds to our ultimate success potential.

I thank God for Menage everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Meeting Update

Hello Team,

We had a fantastic Taste n Tell and presentation last night at The Crest Center in Asheville, NC. If you were there, thank you for staying connected and for bringing guests. If you couldn't make it, you were missed!

REMINDER: NO MWYE Team Meeting next week (Thanksgiving Week). Enjoy the time with your friends and family.

While you're with them, DO NOT HESITATE to mention YOUR Menage business. Mark my words, the majority of conversation in all American households will be the doom and gloom of our economy. What you hold is a bright shining light of opportunity that can break through that muck.....SHARE it people. If they accept it, GREAT. If they don't, it's OK.

Gang, Menage Innovations will grow with or without our participation. It will not grow in conference rooms and webinars, it will grow around dining room tables, around fireplaces, back porches, restaurant booths, etc. Be proud and be confident that you have the power to change lives with this plan.

Hope to see you all very soon and I wish you all the best!

The Gift

Happy FRIDAY!

Just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful team meeting in Asheville NC last night. Our guest speaker, Rob Hamilton of the The Speaking Connection, was impressive and thought provoking. He helped our team members truly understand the human connection needed in order to be successful at presenting the Menage Plan. There's no way that I can put into this email the experience that those who attended had. I will give you this......

Today, when you show the plan, present it as if you were giving someone a GIFT that they genuinely need or desire. SHARE the gift with them as if it were the solution to any need that they may have. Find that feeling that you have when you have the perfect birthday, or holiday gift, wrapped and ready to give to a person that you love and put it into your presentation. If you truly believe that you are GIVING someone the chance at a new lifestyle for their family, all the feelings that YOU have of wanting or getting for yourself will go away.

Please re-read what you just read. Muster that feeling of "giving" and you will be on your way to more successful presentations and recruiting. Connect with folks on a human level of wants, needs and desires and you will build your business exponentially.

Thank you to those who were able to attend the meeting in Asheville. Rob was such a success, we will have him back in December for another presentation. Don't forget, you can visit his website at www.thespeakingconnection.com and please, sign up to attend one of his upcoming workshops. You won't regret it.

Message From Corporate

Hello Team Menage!

As Mark and I looked over the final leader board totals for October it is clear that many of you truely are working for your teams and your family. The company had a great push at the end with numbers soaring to close the month. Team building and product sales rose subtantially during the last 10 days of October. Let's keep up the pace in November to produce much welcomed income for you and our Menage family members.

Many of you have heard me talk in the past about the key to sustaining a productive team and business in Menage. The successful person in Menage must build a strong infrastructure for their business. They must build a strong relationship with their team members and be CONSISTENT.

The system is simple:

**Make a list

**Make calls

**Set appointments

**Show the plan(don't just talk about the opportunity)

**Followup

More specifically, every step builds on the next step of the business. Without a solid foundation a business will be unstable. Many people ask "How do I get a good consistent meeting going each week and keep growing my team?" First, we must examine what people are looking for and what drives them. In the beginning stages of a business before anyone has made a pay check three things get people excited and keep them engaged: thier need (why, destination, financial goal,etc.), their mission(purpose and reason for earning income), and fun(socialization). Pay checks become the driving force in the end, but the first three things keeps a team together before the pay checks role in.

Taking each phase step by step, a new team member must get help from their upline (when possible) to present the plan to their prospects. Most people don't sign up on the spot and that is normal. To help them fully experience the power of the business, the fun and income, a Taste abnd Tell must be in place to immediately bring the prospect to within their first week after having seen the plan. At the Taste and Tell the new prospect will be surrounded by other Menage team members that are foccussed on their goals and team members that are having fun. The new prospect will want to be part of the EXCITEMENT, making additional income and having fun. The concept just makes too much sense.

The Taste and Tell HOME PARTY is the key to massive growth in your business. First, anyone can host friends in their home to try the food and see the plan. It is not feasible to expect a new team member to create a hotel or conference center meeting in the beginning. The new team member's prospects will feel comfortable and relaxed coming over to their house to try some great food and have a GOOD TIME. Keep in mind that "duplication" is the key and anyone can duplicate a Taste and Tell in their home. Second, at a Taste and Tell HOME PARTY the host has the ability to prepare our great gourmet food the way they like with their own specail recipes, sauces, and marinades and spices. Likewise, the Taste and Tell HOME PARTY allows for a great visual presentation of the food. Imagine the prospect entering the relaxed setting of a home smelling the delicious aroma of gourmet food surrounded by happy excited people having fun. Now imagine them seeing the food and then tasting the food. All of the senses will be involved creating the perfect setting to close the deal.

Once a new prospect joins, it is important for their upline to help them host a Taste and Tell in their home. The upline must keep their Taste and Tell in place each week(consistency) but must immediately work to expand to the new team member's home with another Taste and Tell. For example, Mary Lynn McPhereson's team has done a great job with Taste and Tells. Each week now for several months Mary Lynn has consistently hosted a Taste and Tell in her home every Monday night rain or shine. This is her team's home base. She has in turn helped her new team members expand out into their homes hosting numerous Taste and Tells each week. By having her meetings in so many different homes, Mary Lynn's team has continued to rapidly grow because of consistency, duplication, FUN, thus equalling great PAY CHECKS for her and her team members.

Don't misunderstand, large weekly group meetings are also essential and at some point a large conference center is needed to hold all of the team members and guests in one location. Sam Kelly and Chuck Dalton's Germantown meeting is a great example of the next step in the system and is essential. However, they did not get to that point over night and it took many individual presentations and Taste and Tells to reach that point.

The system is a cirle and not necessarily a stair step. You begin one on one or two on one, move to the Taste and Tell, expand to a conference center, and start the week all over with one on one's and two on one's, Taste and Tells, and then once again the conference center meeting. See the cycle.

In the end anyone can work the business as they wish and that is the beauty of being an Independent Distributor. Whatever your style or system, work as often as you can, be consistent, and create something anyone can duplicate. Fun is contagious and great food, socialization, and income are a winning formula.


Have a great week.

New Presentation

Hello Team Menage!

It is evident from the increase in team building and product orders that you guys like the Holiday Promotion. Team Mississippi under the lead of Mary Lynn McPhersen exploded the last few days of the month. Congrats to her leadership team, the new team memebers, and new Silvers.

If you haven't noticied, there is a great new power point presentation on the back office.

The power point may be used to present on webinars, large group meetings, one on one's with your lap top, or you might want to print off the sheets to have when a computer is not available.

Now is the time to let all of your friends know about our great gourmet food for the holidays. Provide your website to your friends, church memebers, email lists, etc. Let them know about the great gift items available and that we ship to all 50 states. Most everyone will have a ham for both Thanksgiving and Christmas so why not buy them from you.

Try the new potato caseroles and pecan pie at your next Taste and Tell or just share them with your family at your next meal. You are going to love them.

Have a great start to November. Keep in mind that a great November means a great check for Christmas.

Our SSR Holdings Team would like to congratulate Greg, Connie, Dixie, Debbie and Jeff for achieving Silver status in Menage Innovations yesterday!!. What a whirlwind day yesterday, that culminated last night with Eddie Lee Herndon on our national call talking about the excitement that the new Menage Economic Stimulus package has created. Yesterday, we recorded our best day ever since we joined Menage(14 months ago) as 14 new reps entered the system. Taste and Tells all around this country were taking place last night in areas such as Spring Hill,TN(Carl Wilt), Nashville, TN(Mike Knight/Clayton Caudill), Jackson, MS(Mary Lynn McPherson/Linda Meeler), Asheville, NC(Joe Lasher/MWYE Team) and many more. Push hard the remainder of the day and we look forward to watching you all have a huge November!!

Explosive Growth

We have had two weeks of the strongest attendance ever at our Germantown meetings. I know the Delta of Mississippi and Jackson are getting record attendance. Asheville is strong with expansion in a big way in Atlanta with their planned meeting the first of November.

Belief keeps me motivated. Menage exceeds the Harvard Business School's criteria for a "once in-a-lifetime opportunity".

I just wanted to remind every rep that a rising tide raises all ships. A high rep attendance at meetings creates excitment.

It is great to see reps at a meeting even when they don't have guests. This is what bonds us. We meet to complete the puzzle, putting pieces together one meeting at a time.

Remember the preacher who visited the man who stopped attending services. They sat next to the man's fire drinking tea staring at the flames. No words were spoken. The preacher took a bright and hot coal off the fire with a pair of tongs. The preacher sat the coal outside the fire by itself. The man and his preacher watched the coal get dark and cold. Then, the preacher looked at his watch and hurried to his feet to leave. Before the preacher left, he took the tongs, reached for the cold lump of coal, placed it back in the fire and the two men watched the coal become bright and hot once more. Before closing the door, the man thanked the preacher for the firey sermon.

I believe we are on the cusp of explosive growth. Keep up the momentum. Together, it's easier to stay bright and hot.

Exciting Times for Menage Innovations

Hello Team!

What an exciting time for our business! We are seeing tremendous momentum company wide due to the recent "stimulus" plan implemented by Menage Ownership. I know that the majority of our team members are moving in a positive direction by contacting interested folks that had previously seen the plan but just couldn't afford to become involved. Are you revisiting your folks?

I'd like to remind you of the Corporate Training Webinar this coming SATURDAY morning. It's very important, especially for those of you that are unable to attend our regular Tuesday meetings, to attend as many webinars as possible. It's how you can stay connected.

Remember, be diligent. If you have a prospect that's ready to sign on, GO TO THEM while they are "in the moment". You ARE doing them a favor by getting them in the system...plus YOU WILL GET PAID.

Holiday Promotion

Purpose of Holiday Promotion

As we move into the week completing our first weekend with the reduced prices to buy a distributorship in Menage Innovations, recruiting has tripled and even quadrupled for many individuals. We have a witnessed a renewed commitment among many distributors that had lost momentum. The lowered signup fees, a $200 savings, have sparked new excitement among long standing team members and new team members alike.

Our goal at Menage is to give more individuals an opportunity to start a home based business by providing an affordable price with our new “Holiday Promotion”. Many of our leaders have continued to ask how we could help more people to get involved during these hard economic times. In response to the request, we lowered the price by $200.

The intent of the program is to increase team building numbers which in turn increases product sales. Increased distributor sign ups will increase product sales enhancing the rate of growth of the Fort Knox Residual pay which is solely based on product commission.

Unlike many other companies in the industry, we pride ourselves in having “no breakage”. Breakage usually occurs when a company sets goals and quotas that are too high for an average person to obtain and benefits only a select group of reps. In other words, the majority of the reps can’t qualify their position thus losing their pay while the chosen few make higher bonuses based on others’ losses. At Menage, we are committed to “no breakage” and only paying out what we take in. In addition to paying out an astounding 43% on product sales, we pay out the sign up fees to the reps and make company dollars on product sales.

At this early stage in the game we have witnessed distributors increasing their recruiting efforts by 50% on an average (based on working reps during the same time frame last month). In real dollar terms, the reps mentioned above have increased their product commissions by 50% while making the same or more coding dollars. For example, a rep that recruited 10 new team members during the same time frame last month now has recruited 15 new team members during the same amount of days this month. This rep has made more coding dollars and a considerable amount more product commission pay. The rep has earned 50% more Ft. Knox pay!

The short term goal for Menage is to increase recruiting by 50% thus increasing product sales by 50% and higher. We will take a snap shot at the end of this 90 day promotion to see if the lower sign up fees have stimulated the growth of your downline team. As part of this promotion, we want to see your product Ft. Knox commissions dramatically increase.
The long term goal of Menage is to stimulate growth at such a rapid rate to hold the sign up fees at the lowered price, while increasing the pay plan.
As we near the end of this 90 day Holiday promotion we will evaluate the promotion to see if we should extend the $199 and $398. Each new rep you sign up is vote for “yes”.

Keep up the great work and make sure you get in the game.

Hundreds of you were on the national call last night to hear about, what I think personally, is going to send this company into momentum. For the last 4-6 months, I been in multiple states with the top leadership of this company and the effects of the economy are affecting every walk of life. Is this company growing? Absolutely. Can the field grow it faster with this new incentive, no question about it. The new reps hitting the computer today already reflect why this is going to be a great change. I would go back to every single person you have talked to or shown it to that didn't have the money and let them know about the new promotion. Let's push hard till the end of the month and enter November on a high note. See ya in the field!!

Changes to Plan

Good Evening Team,

Effective today, the company owners have implemented changes to the Menage Plan that they hope will stimulate our recruiting and team building success. It's late and I will not attempt to cover in detail, but will give you this.

ALL Residual Commissions (Fort Knox Plan), product pool bonuses, renewal bonuses, Compression and no-breakage remain unchanged.

An individual can become involved with our business in three ways:
$49.00 Distributor
$150.00 "Bronze Upgrade System" opens up to all commissions, free training webinars, training kit with DVD's, CD's, product samples.
Total of $199:
***At $199, distributors will have a $20 Website Set up fee and $19.95 per month charge***
$199 Optional Bronze Trainer Upgrade, Includes all team building/recruiting bonuses plus free website for one year with accounting and technical support, $25 training bonus per personally sponsored distributor.
TOTAL TO COME INTO COMPANY AS BRONZE TRAINER: $398 (Previously $598)

THOSE OF US THAT BOUGHT IN AT THE PREVIOUS $598 WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY THE $199 RENEWAL FEE AFTER OUR FIRST YEAR.

There have been minor changes to the Fast Start Bonus program and some of the coded money as it is all tied to start up costs. I will be reviewing these at our MWYE Team Meeting on TUESDAY AT THE CREST CENTER, 6:30 pm....be there with prospects.
I will also schedule a training "webinar" for Monday Evening....look for the link.

Folks....this is VERY EXCITING. For those of you that have just started with us, I know a change could make you feel uneasy about your decision to become involved with the company. Trust me, I spoke with Eddie Lee Herndon, one of our owners, for over an hour this afternoon....a change didn't sit well with me at first, but now that I understand the move, I believe it couldn't have come at a better time. We all came into this for the long term residual income potential generated from a 100% guaranteed, unique and consumable product - gourmet food. The product is unchanged; the commission structure with compression and no-breakage are unchanged; as far as I'm concerned, the phenomenal opportunity to grow great supplemental income and possibly grow real wealth are unchanged.

I'll answer questions as you send them. If you have a presentation scheduled for today and beyond and need help explaining, please call me. We'll schedule a webinar or meet in person.

As always, I'm 100% committed to the success of this team and the individual.

Best regards,

Economic Stimulus for Menage Innovations

Economic Stimulus Promotion

Hello Team Menage. The format of tonight’s conference call and Webinar is being changed to permit us to unveil a very special promotion to increase your paychecks through the Holidays. Many of you, the leaders of Menage, have been asking for ways to spark increased growth in your business during these hard economic times. We have been listening and are more excited about this announcement than anything we have ever announced to the field.
As we watch the debates, watch the news, or just go to the grocery store to buy milk, bread , dog food, etc., we realize the our country is in the middle of hard times and that the average person is looking for every opportunity to make additional income and save money.
In one of my previous emails I highlighted the economy and the prime position Menage is in for continued growth and success. While other products will take a down turn in the fourth quarter, food sales will peak for the year. The shopping day following Thanksgiving Day known as “Black Friday” is expected to experience an all time low turn out and poor sales. On the other hand, the Monday following Thanksgiving Day known as “Cyber Monday” is predicted to have record numbers of online shoppers and record number of sales.
Why is the phenomenon taking place? First, more people have internet access in their homes than ever before. Consequently, people are shopping online in record numbers. With gas prices where they are, many more people are avoiding the crowds and staying home to surf the web in the comfort of their own home to find bargains.
I have said many times “that it is not if people will get involved with network marketing, but rather which company will they join”. The promotion that we will announce tonight will set your business into full momentum before the Holiday season providing great team growth and more importantly increased pay from product commissions.
Whether you are a top money earner, top leader, steady recruiter, or even someone that has stopped working the business but like the concept of Menage, I think tonight’s call will ignite even the weakest flame and revive your business. If you are one of the top producers, hang on as the rocket lifts off.
Don’t miss tonight’s call. Thirty minutes of your time may make the difference for your family’s financial future.
See you on the Webinar tonight.
