Looking for an AFFORDABLE way to Get New Business?
On my home page of www.onewithearth.com you will find several downloadable brochures from SafeCosmetics.org. I encourage you to use these as tools to grow your business. You can print them out and post them locally with YOUR contact information from the bottom that says, “for safe toxic-free products” and hang your business cards or tear offs with your name and phone number.
The HARD ROAD vs. EASY STREET
What would you rather do, chase leads or be chased BY them?
You can take the hard road and chase cold leads, or the warm market with people who don’t understand the importance of organic living already – but let me forewarn you, taking this road is NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! You must be ready to face rejection, disbelief and closed ears and minds.
Or you can take the easy road and begin to make yourself known to those that are looking for you, looking for organics, not knowing you are there to help them. You can follow my suggestion above for flyers, you can do Alf’s newspaper strategy, or you can find your own method.
The secret is not HOW you do it – but IF you do it.
Let’s succeed together!

Corporate Office Closed Monday
Just a reminder that the ONE Group office will be closed tomorrow, June 11th, in observance of the Queen’s Birthday.
Customer Login: Password Not Necessary
Preferred Customers no longer have to remember their passwords. They may use their surname. This is a great opportunity to email your customers to stay in touch! Announce that there have been several site improvements to make THEIR shopping experience more user friendly. Let them know that you are available if they cannot login or have questions. It may also be a good idea to let them know what a surname is… LOL! :-)
GROUPIE CALL: There’s NO such thing as a Stupid Question!
We will be having our bi-monthly Groupie call this week on Wednesday evening. All ONE Group Representatives WELCOME! Bring any questions or ideas to the call or simply call in to listen! Purpose of the call is to socialize with other ONE Group representatives and brainstorm ideas to grow your businesses.
Wednesday: 9:00 EST, 6:00 PST

Google 101 – Some Cool Features!
Google is an amazing search engine with lots of bells and whistles. But did you know that it is also a calculator? Yup, simply type into the search box something to add (+), subtract (-), multiply (*), divide (/), etc. Ex: 10+10. Also it does measurements, liquid, solid, inches; simply type is your query, such as: pints in a quart or inches in a yard, etc.
You probably already knew that Google acts as a dictionary, but if you didn’t, just type DEFINE before any word.
Also you can type in "LINK:www.website.com" and you will find how many sites are linking to that site. Looking for sites with related content? Simply type "RELATED:www.website.com" and you will find all the sites with similar content.
The best thing I found is a site that archives old websites. Simply visit www.archive.org and you can browse what sites looked like years ago and compare with what they look like today. I was able to see my old jewelry sites – a bit of sad nostalgia. :-(
Make this week an AMAZING one!

NO LIST CONTEST: TWO REPRESENTATIVES ARE ON FIRE!
Just a reminder that you can STILL get in on the exciting action and contest to win $100 cash AND recognition for our NO Contest! Here is this week’s contestant’s progress.
Stephana: Pleasantly reports that she keeps getting YESES! She sets aside an hour each day to make calls. Thus far, she has no NO’s to report, but sees that as a wonderful thing! And it is!
Kimberly: While working her warm market, received 5 NO’s this past week, but has two prospects who would like samples and one who may host a Home Party!
POLL – WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID?
3 of Kimberly’s NO’s were people who said they loved the skin care regime that they currently used – and one of them had beautiful, flawless skin in her 60’s.
What do you or would you say when faced with this objection?
(replies to be published in next update!)

New Price Increase is GREAT NEWS – contrary to what you may think!
Before you go emailing me, your upline, their upline, all the execs, support, the founders, and the United Nations, please stop and soak in the concept of a price increase and what ONE Group specifically said regarding this.
“To ensure we remain competitive, we have limited our price increase on certain individual products to be in line with genuine competitors” As you know, ONE Group products are quite competitive with other brands. Additionally, other companies that are our competitors are making huge profits because their ingredients are synthesized in a laboratory – the cost to create certified food grade products is significantly higher and ONE Group’s margin for profit is in some cases 300% lower.
”The Bonus Value (BV) and Personal Volume (PV) will also increase for each product.” What this means is that you will not have to pay MORE to get your monthly points! This also means that you will be making more money on BV and the PV from your customers!
“Additionally, to minimize any negative impact on Representatives, we have not raised the performance criteria to achieve ranks.” Great news! We still have the same amount of Group Volume to achieve, but with less sales to do so. With the BV increasing along with the prices, not only will we make more money on each product sold, but our points will be higher in the PV and they didn’t raise the bar on our points to achieve the next level in the comp plan!
Understanding the Difference between Genuine Obstacles and Perceived Obstacles
Many of you may perceive an increase in price as an obstacle to selling the products, and I would like to give you some food for thought… Personally, I don’t perceive the products as too expensive. In fact, for the quality of the products with the guarantee of purity – they are an exceptional value. I rarely am given an objection of price because I don’t perceive it as a valid objection.
Also, I used this example once today and I am going to use it again. Let’s say you go to the bakery for a loaf of bread. On the rack are two types of bread. One is a day old and is selling for $1.00 and the other is fresh bread, hot out of the oven for $2.50. Which one would you choose?
My guess is that you chose the one that was $1.00 because it was basically the same bread and you could save $1.50 – perhaps enabling you to buy TWO loaves.
Now consider this… what if the baker was standing there by the rack educating consumers on the two types of bread. You then learned that the day old bread has lost significant nutrients and you would be basically eating empty calories. Also, she explained that in order for them to sell that day old bread, they had to add an artificial preservative, that consequently is being reviewed by science as a potential carcinogen. Are you still going to buy the day old bread to save money?
Our role within ONE Group is to Educate and Demonstrate the products. If we Educate the consumer as to why the products cost more, and demonstrate the benefits for using them – your price objections will cease.
Let me leave you with one final thought… If ONE Group gave you the option of selling lower priced products that were NOT certified organic or NOT organic at all – would this be something you would like to see them do?

Get involved in the most exciting team contest this year! Great prizes, company recognition, better exposure and healthy, competitive fun!
“NO LIST” CONTEST HEATS UP!
Make $100 just for being rejected
Okay, I am pleased to say that interest is beginning to peak out there for the contest. So here are the guidelines with tips on how to get going. Just a reminder: Your mission is NOT to actually get a NO – you will earn a lot more than $100 for Yeses. I know that is a “duh” reminder – but just to be sure, I thought I would put it out there.
Make a list of 100 “No’s” on a sheet of paper
Whoever fills the sheet first – or whoever has the most NO’s by July 5th WINS $100!
Oh, you will also be featured on my Team Website
And submitted to ONE Group’s newsletter for the month
And another “secret” prize to be announced at the completion of the contest!
NO’s must be legitimate. You must either present them with products or opportunity and be rejected. You can’t ask them if they will give you a million dollars.
List the date you tried, the date they said NO, their name and phone number
Submit your NO’s Daily to me – Each day I will announce the leader in an email so you know where you stand!
Warm Market NO’s:
Ask your warm market first. Friends, family, neighbors, and associates. If they say NO, mark it down and say, “Do you know of anyone that MAY be interested?” This begins to build your NO LIST as well as your contact list.
“Hi Mr. Bob, my sister mentioned that you might be someone interested in making more money. If I could show you a proven way to earn extra income by working just a few hours a week from home, would you be interested in learning more?”
“Hi Julie, my neighbor, Joe Schmo, said that you were someone who knows the importance of living an organic life. If you could find products that were guaranteed for purity and freshness, had a no risk guarantee with purchase, were certified to food grade, and would significantly reduce the amount of toxic chemicals that you are exposed to each day, would you be interested in learning more?”
Oh No! They said “YES” Now what??
Poor you! I am sorry to tell you that you are now on your way to losing the $100 bonus and gaining a successful business.
“…. Great! Well first of all, I can’t make any promises that we’ll be able to work together or that this is the right opportunity for your situation. To save us both some time, I would like to ask you a few questions, and then I can answer all of your questions. Do you have a few minutes right now?”
Oh No, they said Yes, again!
Ask some questions! It is at this point that you are trying to feel out the prospect to see if this is someone that you would like to work with. Ask about their current employment situation, why they would like to make more money, how much time they can invest to a business….” Don’t be held to a script. Be friendly and genuinely interested. Listen carefully to their words. What are they really saying? What are their hot buttons? Are they motivated by money, time, helping others, etc.
For more on this… call me. We can go through this together in “role playing” to get you comfortable.

Dear ONE Group Representatives in CABN,
I just wanted to bring something to light about posting on CABN. There are many of us that have been with CABN for years, some months, some only days… but we are all able to share in the ideas and learn from the group, as well as network appropriately.
The concern I have is watching everyone jump in to promote the products. I truly feel that we are going to start looking bad as a company. As ONE Group continues to experience such massive growth, more and more ONE Group representatives are going to come to the forefront of CABN – and it is going to be monotonous to say the least.
In the best interest of ONE Group, I feel that we should ALL discontinue promoting ONE Group products on CABN – even for those of us who are paid listing members with Co-Op America and have been screened and processed. This is not to say that you cannot actively interact with discussions in the group (and use a catchy signature), but promoting products should cease.
There are tons of other sources online for us to use. Besides, getting involved in CABN debates and discussions relating to other green topics will help forge personal and professional friendships with other members – where THEN you can open up to promote ONE Group when the opportunity allows.

What do you fear?
We all fear something. Some people fear rejection, others fear not knowing the answer to a question. Some people fear failure, and believe it or not - more people than you would think, actually fear success.
Confront your fear.
It is important to your business (and life) that you recognize your fears and then swiftly address them. That old saying holds much weight, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.” Fear can immobilize you and keep you from taking the next step – or the first step. Until you identify and confront your fears, you will continue standing in the same place in life indefinitely.
Power from Fear.
I have a Russian friend who says, “Feeling pain is the surest way to know that we are still alive.” Remember the first time you braved a rollercoaster? You walked away feeling so accomplished. Even if you threw up and vowed that you would never do it again – you did it!
Taking the Plunge.
About two and a half years ago, when my online business was failing and I needed to pull myself out of a rut and put myself back into a place of feeling personal power, I went skydiving. Wow – talk about a rush! Falling from 15,000 feet at about 120 mph towards the earth, really put things back in perspective for me. I knew that if I could do that, I could do anything!
A few months later I joined ONE Group and decided to try an online business with the power of a company behind me, instead of giving up entirely on my dream of being self-employed. (Skydiving isn’t my recommendation for everyone. Heck, make a few cold calls – the fear is pretty comparable - and with no chance of death by being compacted into the soil! :-)
Quotes on Fear.
- The only time you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable
- If you are willing to do what is easy in life – life will be hard, if you are willing to do what is hard in life – life will be easy.
- It is not necessary to get rid of fear in order to succeed.
- Every master was once a disaster.
