The Gifting Process

Although we often provide examples in this section of specific wording and phrasing to use, it is important to be yourself during the gifting process so feel free to use your own words.

Your natural enthusiasm over Univera, is the most important aspect to communicate, whether you are most excited about the health benefits or the wealth benefits.

Setting the "Gifting" Appointment:

The key to setting a gifting appointment is to say as little as possible. Although we have many good products that people can learn for the purpose of the simple duplication that must be present for exponential growth we should always lead with Xtra alone, except in rare cases.

If you discover someone has major joint discomfort or GI tract distress of course it is appropriate to initially bring up another product to help them such as ReginiCARE/FREE or Aloe. Know this gift can improve the life of the person you are calling so be proud and confident when you make call. Expect people to gladly agree to meet with you and discover Xtra, perhaps the most important gift they ever receive...

Various Gifting Approaches:

Beverage Industry Approach

Last year there were more than 100 new energy drinks launched into the market, and coffee drinks did over 7 Billion in sales. Lack of energy is the number one health complaint in America, so Xtra's healthy energy story alone is enough to get people's attention in a simple and duplicable fashion.

The following "Beverage Industry Approach" accomplishes this in a simple and easy way. When you can, listen to the "The Beverage Industry; Keep it Simple and Fun", located in the audio archive on this website. Download this and other archived calls onto a CD for drive-time listening. Turn you car into a "classroom on wheels". Simplicity and fun are two or the most important things to convey as we help people discover Univera.

I just wanted to give you a quick call and bring you up to speed with what I'm doing with my life now. I'm in the beverage industry. I'm with a company that markets a healthy alternative beverage that's imported from Korea and its awesome.

I would like to swing by and drop you off a few samples. Would that be okay?

Blind Approach (warmest market)

"I've got something for you I want to drop off. When can I swing by?"

Pay it Forward Approach

"A friend gave me an incredible gift of health which I'm truly grateful for and I want to pay it forward. May I give you a gift?"

Introductory Samples Approach

"I tried a new healthy energy drink that is so incredible in the way it works that I decided to go into business and I'm handing out introductory samples to people I think would enjoy it. May I give you some samples?"

Use the Gift Checklist

To assure every gift is given properly thus increasing both health business results, include a Gift Checklist* in every gift, right on top of the Welcome Letter. (Checklist also located in the "Library"). After they read the welcome letter and express interest in the idea of renewal, explain that you will have a little checklist to follow "...so you get the best health benefits and so I don't forget anything - it will keep me on track so this entire process will take about 8-10 minutes."

When you cannot personally do a full gifting for some reason - like maybe the giftee is at work and they do not have ten minutes - in this case, the Gift Checklist, serves as an instruction sheet. Get agreement that the giftee will honor the gift by following the instruction sheet, which will give them the maximum benefit..

The Gifting Appointment - Outline

  1. Welcome:
    Have them open the gift box and ask them to go ahead and read the welcome note from Stephen. (Sets the tone for your visit)

    Ask them if it sounds interesting (if their response is positive continue on and explain that in the gift box are four mini bottles of our flagship product, which a two day supply, along with some support material).
     

  2. Stories:
    Share how Xtra is changing peoples lives in lots of different ways, from helping people to feel energized without caffeine to helping others feel more comfortable in their muscles and joints. (Sharing a specific product story can help)
     

  3. Drink With Stephen:
    Invite them to have a drink with you: "Well, let's have a drink together..."

    (Ask them to grab a Mini out of the box and you drink the one you brought separate from the gift box. If practical, pour minis into nice glasses, e.g., wine glasses, over ice).

    Explain that because this is such an extraordinary drink the chief science officer has a two-minute introductory message you need to play for them.

    (IMPORTANT: Let them hear the Xtra message on 512-703-6110)

    Pull out the Xtra brochure for them to refer to as Stephen covers the four key benefits.

    Be sure to play this message at every gifting opportunity possible to ensure compliance and assure the best possible outcome for each gifting experience!
     

  4. Suggestions:
    Confirm that they can do the three things Stephen suggested in the message:
     

    1. Let them know to drink the first Xtra Mini with breakfast and the second later that afternoon.

    2. Ask them if they have a CD player in their car and if they can take 17 minutes over the next couple of days to listen to the CD.

    3. Ask them what their schedule is like in two days and schedule a call to see what they thought. (48-Hour Call) If you are new let them know that you will try to have a "product coach" on the call with you to answer any questions, and then arrange a three-way call for the 48-Hour Call. Write the scheduled call day and time on the  Gift Checklist*
       

  5. Expectations:
    Explain that while the product works on everyone at a cellular level, only about half of the people will notice things changing in the first two days, that the other half won't be sure, but that the company offers a 90-Day Challenge so everyone can try it for an extended period and realize the changes of brought on by cellular renewal.

    Let them know that they don't have to wait for two days if they already know they would like to experience cellular renewal (give them a chance to say, "Yes", if they are eager.

Mention a few things they might look for over the next two days...

  1. Ask them how their energy is throughout the day, at what point is it the lowest and ask them to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being asleep. Write that number on the Gift Checklist*. Have fun with this part...

    "How low can you go? Do you ever get droopy eyelids? That would be a two..."
     

  2. Ask them to notice if their day seems to flow a little easier, with a little less stress.
     

  3. Ask them to notice more comfortable movement maybe when first get out of bed or getting in and out of the car.

  1. Possibilities:
    Explain the possible outcomes:
     

    1. You may decide to pass on this altogether, and if that's the case for you we're still friends. I'm just excited to share these health benefits with you.

    2. You may want to become a customer. 

    3. You may decide to check out the business. I have no expectations here and our relationship won't be affected either way. I just want to make sure you know about this great way to age!

    Letting people know the three possible outcomes is extremely important as it takes any perceived pressure out of the process so people can simply enjoy the gift.
     

  2. Thanks:
    Thank them for their time and how you look forward to speaking with them in two days.
    Leave them the Gift Checklist to remind them of their 48-Hour Call appointment and things to look for.

    Be sure to record the follow up call appointment somewhere for yourself..

Listen now to a recording of an actual gifting (7 min):

Hear how to "short-cut" the gift to allow the eager to enroll after one mini:

BUSINESS NOTE: If prospect is interested in the Univera business invite them to meet the team as soon as possible, even if it is just with a quick three-way call. Paint a picture of certain success for everyone playing on the team during this time period, and that timing is of the essence right now...

Gift Instruction Sheet

When mailing gifts or when dropping them off without doing a proper gifting, include the "Gift Instruction Sheet" located in the Documents section of the Library on this site.

Follow Up Email - to send out after every gifting:

Dear Linda,

Thank you for meeting with me and I hope you enjoy the AgelessXtra samples. AgelessXtra will dramatically improve the way we experience aging!

To see a great real life example of what is happening to one of my Univera business partners look at www.richardsaging.com

I'll be in touch,

Dave

48 HOUR CALL

This call is simply to see what people want to do next. They could select to pass for now, become a customer, or explore the business. The call should be short as the goal is simply to direct people to the next step in the process. Any detailed explanation should come from the team so they see how simple our business is. When you are new, it is recommended to make this call as a 3-way with an upteam member so you can see how easy it is to either enroll people, or move them to the next step in the process.

"Hey Jim,
Is this still a good time to chat for a couple of minutes?
Great, I wanted to follow up and see what your thoughts are on Xtra.
What did you think of the Gift if Renewal CD?

(If they did not listen to it ask them if they would so they can understand how their aging process can be altered from now on.)

It is really irrelevant whether they noticed anything in two days so just go to the three outcomes...

"A couple days ago I mentioned how some people pass on this, some take the "90-Day Challenge" as a Customer and change their aging, and some choose to check out the business.

Jim, what do you think would you like to do from here?"

If a discussion ensues, asking questions can help people decide what they want:

Does this idea of cell renewal appeal to you?

If you could experience more youthful aging is that something you'd be interested in?

If yes, reply with "Well then, would you like to take the 90-Day Challenge with AgelessXtra?

90 DAY CHALLENGE

While many people will feel the product working within a couple of days, not everyone will,  and the goal is to help everyone realize the benefits of Univera by taking the "90-Day Challenge" on “Convenience Plan - whether or not they choose to also investigate the business.

The 90-Day Challenge is a generic term meaning one commits to try the products for 90 days (on Convenience Plan) and if they are not happy for any reason they get their purchase price refunded by simply returning the empty containers.

Ask them if they would like to take "90 DAY CHALLENGE" and change their rate of aging.

  • Explain that they take the products for 90 days with a money back guarantee, for any reason.

  • Use a three-way call if you are not confident on how to start someone on the 90-Day Challenge or if they have questions you cannot answer.

  • If someone drank AgelessXtra for two days and reviewed the information on AgelessXtra, there is nothing more to be said and we can simply act like order takers at this point.

    "At this point you've tried the product and learned about the benefits. Would you like to take the 90-Day Challenge and age better from now on...?"

  • If someone declines they probably did not review the information and we could suggest they do so and reconsider, because their future health is on the line...

ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS ON THE BEVERAGE INDUSTRY APPROACH

"The Million Dollar Question"

When someone asks, "What do you do?" "What have you been up to?" What will you say?

Now at this point, you have a couple of options. You can launch into a dissertation on Genomics and Biotechnology and watch their eyes glaze over, or you can entice them to want to know more about your business.

The million dollar answer:

"I'm in the beverage industry." (period)

(If you ask people what they do, they will usually reciprocate and ask you what you do. If not, just continue...)

Continue with...
"I have a business that markets a healthy alternative beverage; You know… an alternative to the crap (crud) in the can and the crap (crud) in the cup." <smile> or use "an alternative to turbo aging in a can or a cup." "It's imported out of Korea and we can barely make it fast enough."

"Since I'm in the beverage industry, I'm always interested in finding out what people are drinking."

When they say ________

"How long you been drinking that, ____________ (their name)?"

BUSINESS QUESTIONS:

"And how much did you make last month on __________?" (Starbucks, whatever)
"Well let me ask you something, ___________.
"If you could change beverages and drink a healthy alternative, and if I could show you how make an extra grand or two a month would that be something you'd be interested in learning about?"
"Give me your card and we'll find about 15 minutes to get together and I'll gift you some samples of our health drink and show you how drinking with your friends can also be extremely profitable."

"You're busy, I'm busy. Let me get back to you."

PRODUCT QUESTIONS:

"And how much did you spend last month on __________?" (Starbucks, whatever)
"Well let me ask you something, ___________.
"If you could change beverages and drink a healthy alternative, and if I could show you how to drink it for free would that be something you'd possibly be interested in?
"Give me your card and we'll find about 15 minutes to get together and i'll gift you some samples of our health drink and show you a simple way to enjoy it for free.

"You're busy, I'm busy. Let me get back to you."

Listen to the audio training on using the Beverage Industry Approach and keeping things simple and fun.

BUSINESS INVITATION

Ask if they have any interest in getting their products for free, or developing a residual income stream through Univera. Whenever there is possible business interest, the goal is to use the tools and the team, rather than educating them by yourself.

  • Email the Univera overview to interested prospects:
    http://www.basictrainingplus.com/opportunitypresentation.asp

  • Utilize Netimpact to send prospects additional information and to invite them to online presentations.

  • When someone is interested in looking into the business invite them to meet their potential business partners; either through live events, or with 3-way calls (Live events are best and use conference calls as a back up).

NETIMPACT

This is an outstanding high technology tool that offer an online way to share Univera!

It is best utilized when combining it with "high touch" by alternating Netimpact exposures with phone calls and sometimes live meetings.

Although Netimpact has an email invitation for prospects to receive a gift, it is more personal to call people by phone as it shows you care enough about them to take the time to call. Because this is a relationship business and we are attempting to share something with people so potentially life-altering as Univera, to maximize one's relationships, a phone call is recommended over an sending an email.

With that said, if you have the personality style that really is not comfortable with picking up the phone to set a gifting appointment but calling people to follow up on an email seems easier to you then by all means take that approach. The most important thing is to get into activity as soon as possible.

Keep It Simple

Rather than starting Customers on hundreds of dollars in product, which most people will drop off of with the first 90 days, focus on AgelessXtra first. After they are sold on it, either then a product experience or through the knowledge of what it is doing for them, then introduce them to other products.

At the gifting appointment: Just get them to drink with you.
The more information we distract them with, the more analytical they become, leading to "analysis paralysis".

If you become the information, then the person will say, "I'll try the product." (and they'll never do the business)

People don't want to sell or tell; don't do anything that they won't want to do.

You want them to think, "Is this all I need to do, drink with my friends and bring them to team?"

For the 1 out of 10 that goes analytical, give them places to go for more information.

Get people to the information is better than getting people the information. (team)

Take people to the information. Don't take the information to the people.

Involve team so they can see someone else doing the "Telling".

Ask questions and listen. They will tell you exactly where they want to go.
The more they talk, the more you win.
We don't ever want to be an "expert."
If they ask, "What's in it?"
Reply, "Lots of good stuff, you should try it."

Avoid MLM lingo like "upline"; use Corporate America terminology - "My business partner in the beverage industry."
