Super Saturday Success!

by Janine Avila on November 8, 2011

It’s no secret that I am super excited about Super Saturdays!

Follow the Success Formula and you will see your team growing right before your eyes. Just ask Mike Herlihy, Annette Machado, Kyle Porter, John & Colleen Riddle or Billy Murphy what can happen in the aftermath of a Super Saturday! The formula really works in creating powerful results from Super Saturdays.

Success Formula for a Successful Super Saturday:

Step 1

Get yourself and your team on the Saturday Call, every Saturday! If for a very good reason you miss the live call, be sure you make a point to listen to the replay immediately, that same weekend. That call is your weekly dose of National Inspiration & Corporate news. You’re going to need this for step two.

Step 2

The Weekly Get-Together. You must either be hosting your own if you are attempting to build a team and residual income or you must attend one if you are new. Every week, same time, same place. Here is the link to the Step By Step Formula for Weekly Get Togethers. See page 50 of your Training Workbook. Visit here

Step 3

The Super Saturday

A Super Saturday is held once a month. It should be at the same location and same date each month (for example, the second Saturday of the month). Do this so people begin to see the consistency and support that is available to them. It sends a message that they belong to a company that is serious about training and support. This breeds confidence in your team and in yourself.

Location

Generally, the Super Saturday should be held at a hotel with easy access from a major freeway. Put thought into the best central location for your area. Scout out the meeting room and pay close attention to the feel of the hotel. Is it warm and friendly? Is there a restaurant and great meeting space? Can you negotiate a great deal with them for repeat meetings?

Set-up

If you have a large group of 50 people or more, you’ll need a riser or small stage, plus a microphone. Play lively music, songs that inspire people. Have prizes for drawings, name tags and a captivating product display.

Greet guests with a registration table. The sign in sheet should request the following info:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Phone Number
  • Email
  • Distributor ID or Guest Of

Name tags with plenty of Sharpies should be on the table, next to tickets for your drawing. I use a 6 foot table to provide plenty of space for this, and I use a basket for drawing tickets.

The signage is important.

Post professionally printed 21TEN and Life Shotz advertisements. You can go into the back office and select signs and banners that can be blown up at Fed Ex/Kinkos or Staples for a professional image. You want to create a positive presence of 21TEN in the hotel. Make sure your easel advertisements direct people to the meeting room.

Decorating is also important. Make it fun.

Balloons are a great way to create a fun professional look, inexpensively. Don’t forget to hand out a pre-printed information sheet for all guests, outlining the basic agenda, lunch and the approximate end time.

There’s a few ways you can set up the room. Let the hotel know what style you need:

Preferably, the room should be set up ‘classroom style.’ This means you use tables and chairs to give your guests a comfortable learning environment. Place pitchers of water without ice on the tables or at the back of the room.

If you’re cramped for space, ‘theatre style’ is best. This is especially helpful if you get a larger turnout than expected. This style is simply chairs set side by side, sans tables.

I like to have a data projector and an internet connection for my laptop so I can train directly from the back office and teach people how to navigate our website and introduce them to their resources.

It’s also a good idea to have a flip chart or white board available. For crowds of 75+ you will want to use an “Elmo” or document camera rather than a whiteboard.

I use my iPad with two small Bose speakers to have lively music playing before, after, and during breaks.

Lively and inspirational music sets the energy for the day… don’t underestimate this critical piece.

Agenda / Flow

9:30am- Registration/social time, meet and greet.
All leaders, speakers, and greeters should be in the room and ready to present.

10:00am- Start promptly with an on-time drawing. (I use the business building tools as prizes.) Thank everyone and explain the benefits of being on time.

10:05am- Welcome and introductions.

10:00 to 11:00am- This is Belief Building and giving guests information about who we are, what the business is and can be for them, and the benefits of Life Shotz. I show the Vision Video first, follow up with my story, and then have 4 or 5 pre-selected 3-5 minute testimonials. Invite your guests to enroll with the BBK and show them what they get with it using the enrollment tab online.

11:00am- 20 minute break to allow people to enroll or leave.

11:20am- Present your local leaders. If there is no one qualified yet, use video testimonials online.

12:30pm- Take a 1 to 1.5 hour lunch break. Encourage your group to stay together for lunch.

1:30 2:30pm- Presentation of Prospecting and Inviting. Guide them to the ‘Tools’ section in the back office and visit the Bliss Business website.

2:30 to 3:00pm- Teach Enrolling Basics, Enrollment Options and how to present them.

3:00 to 3:30pm- Talk about The Weekly Get-Together training, and the importance of Saturday calls.

3:30 to 4:00pm- Show how to develop a business plan so you can make money. Teach Comp Plan training. Promote all upcoming events and get people registered for Miami.

Adjourn at 4:00pm sharp. I usually do a Q & A from 4 to 5pm for any unanswered questions or concerns. Most people have stayed for this.

You will be successful if you follow the formula. Remember to engage people and create a spirited energy. Show your passion for what you do!

Annette Machado Advances!

by Melissa Gulbranson on November 3, 2011

Break out your swimwear, Annette Machado, you’ve just earned yourself an advancement to Master and won your way onto the 21TEN Caribbean Cruise in May!

Are you wondering who sponsors the amazing and dedicated Annette? That would be the one and only Janine Avila, from Team Avilanche!

And there’s no sibling rivalry here. It’s no coincidence that these sisters- Janine and Annette- put their high energy together to create such amazing results.

So what does Janine have to say about her sister advancing?

“I am super happy to be sponsoring her and have her be a member of Team Avilanche. You know, it wasn’t until we started working together with 21TEN that I really began to know her! The funny thing is, one year ago on November 1st, I was recovering from surgery and I needed someone to take care of me. Annette went out of her way to fly up to Coeur D’Alene to help me recover. Did I mention her birthday was November 1st? What a way to celebrate … helping someone else!”

We don’t think it’s a coincidence that one year later Annette’s celebrating her birthday as a Master Director. She’s been on-fire since the day she joined us at 21TEN!

Janine tells us, “She’s a dynamo and has worked tirelessly to build a strong team of winners. Annette’s team is so powerful, they are changing the face of this business for anyone that comes within a three foot radius! They are Life Shotz evangelists! It’s my honor to say, congratulations Annette! You are now a Master Director Soul Sister!!!”

And from all of us here at 21TEN, we want to say a heartfelt congratulations to Annette. This is quite an achievement. We know this is just one of many more amazing accomplishments she’ll celebrate.

Who else is ready to advance? Let’s get pumped!

21TEN Vision: Who We Are

by Richard Brooke on September 28, 2011

OUR VISION

You’re our vision. You’re our mission. You’re our focus. I am going to share what that means for you and the thousands of people who discover 21TEN every day.

This Vision is written as every Vision should be written: in the first-person, present tense as though it is happening right now. This Vision is a manifestation of my 35 years as a full-time Network Marketing professional and a financial and life coach. I used to cut chickens for a living, used to be an introverted, angry, broke person with no hope for an amazing future. I was on the 40/40 plan: work 40 years to retire on 40 percent of what was never enough for the first 40 years.

Network Marketing and intense personal development changed my life. It was not easy … in fact it was hard and it took years. But cutting chickens and cutting through the politics of a major corporation was even harder. And those “tough years” in Network Marketing would have gone by anyway.

There is no path to financial freedom that compares with Network Marketing. No other way where you earn on the efforts of hundreds, thousands, maybe tens of thousands, without hiring them. No other way that you can work 10 hours but get paid on thousands of hours. Yet Network Marketing is a young and burgeoning industry. It has too much fraud and greed and too many marginal products. Most companies are not designed from the beginning to last more than a few years. Most products are irrelevant or will be in a few short years. Most just plain don’t work. Yet those products and companies that do “get it” are yellow brick roads to riches for those who will dedicate themselves to mastering the arts.

Whether you want and need a few hundred in extra lifetime income or a whole lot more, whether you want to grow just a little bit every year to be a better, more attractive, more peaceful person, or whether you want a total transformation of who you are for others, you can do it here.

VISION

Our Vision is wrapped around our core values … those things in business and life we hold dearest as an organization.

LONGEVITY … Our DNA is to be here forever

21TEN: that’s the year 100 years from our launch date, and it represents a lifetime of residual income. We are committed to our members having peace, stability, congruency, predictability, and the massive impact time has on geometric progressions. Double a penny every day for a week or double a penny everyday for a month. Which one do you want? We are guided by this core value in every decision we make.

INTEGRITY … Our commitment is to walk our talk

We trust our members and our members trust us. They trust that our intention and commitment is to do the right thing and to do what we say we are going to do: serve our members and tell the responsible truths. We love being in business with people who have these qualities, and people love us for having these qualities, too.

FUN … Fun is our spirit singing and soaring

I am 10 times more productive when I am having fun. How about you? Isn’t having fun more fun? Doesn’t fun make it all worthwhile? We are all about fun … playing full out with the world’s paradises as our sandbox. I am the Chief Visionary Officer of Fun. We invest an enormous amount of our revenues in YOU having extraordinary experiences that you will hold dear to your heart forever!

SERVANT LEADERSHIP … Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care

21TEN sales leaders are heart-felt servant leaders. Servant leaders serve by leading by example, producing at an inspirational level themselves, telling the truths that need to be told and the truths that contribute, doing the right thing, listening at a therapeutic level, and being passionately committed to their own personal development paths.

GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE … Be the change you want to see in your world

We want to be around safe, evolved, empowering, and performing people. So we are safe, we evolve, we empower, and we perform. We have the courage to do what must be done. We have a sense of urgency to compress time knowing we can live more in 10 years than most people do in 10 lifetimes … just by compressing extraordinary growth experiences. We reward courage and results because that is what inspires those early on the path.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM … Wealth is just an amplifier of who you are; financial freedom turns possibilities to probabilities to inevitabilities

Tens of thousands of 21TEN freedom fighters have created their own version of financial freedom and the possibilities it brings their lives. Peace is in abundance, fun is in abundance, and adventure, health, education, contribution, and service to others is in abundance when we are free to focus on more than making money.

HEALTH … The wellspring of life

Everything we do, everything we have, and most importantly everything we are is expressed in our health. Wealth is an amplifier and Health is the wellspring. At 21TEN we create formulas for protection, vitality, longevity, and the power to live life full out.

THE MOST POTENT FORMULAS POSSIBLE … Science at its best

We encourage lifestyle choices that add intensity and power to our years.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP … A commitment to creating a clean, natural, and safe environment

At 21TEN we are committed to being part of solutions. We think creatively and conscientiously about the impact we make, and we make more and more contributions every year. We are the leading edge of education and habit-change to bring vast improvements to our environment.

NETWORK MARKETING … Hands down the fastest, most efficient way to build wealth for the common entrepreneur

21TEN is leading the shift in how the public and the media see our dynamic method of sales and entrepreneurship. We lead the way in ethical, honest, and straightforward communications. We lead the way in doing the right thing. We lead the way in high-value products and retail consumer base. We lead the way in championing every great company in our profession. We lead the way in a culture of mutual trust, respect, and long-term partnerships with our sales leaders. The world is shifting and beginning to understand and embrace our business model. The masses are adopting 21TEN and other great Network Marketing companies’ strategies as the primary way they build wealth.

TRANSFORMATION … Mastering the arts of success

21TEN is all about teaching, leading, and coaching members in the arts of success. We lead the way in the art of therapeutic listening, servant leadership, authenticity, authentic public speaking, responsible communication, vision, and self-motivation. We are a glowing example of a new path to education … one that leads participants to experience and master the arts that lead them to an abundant life.

21TEN is a living breathing organism made up of the visions and dreams of all of you. We are the village of Anything is Possible, Probable and Inevitable. Welcome home.

Team Life Shotz Gives Team Rockstar a Beatdown! Literally.

by Tom Lunneborg on September 15, 2011

Life Shotz is a fantastic drink, and 21TEN is a fun company, and we see the results of our energy and positive attitude in our Distributors, our employees, and everything we do. It’s just who we are, and it’s what makes the 21TEN family so remarkable!

Last week I had the pleasure of watching our Life Shotz softball team give a beating to Team Rockstar. Rockstar is Coca-Cola’s top energy drink.

It was a perfect night in Spokane, WA. The sun was shining and temperatures were hovering around 90 degrees. Team Life Shotz was looking at a double header against Team Rockstar.

Honestly, it really wasn’t much of a contest. Take a look at the team photo! These guys brought the pain at the plate. There were lots of long balls and several innings where they batted all the way through the lineup. Justin Kaiser and Jon Spear, the biggest sluggers for Team Life Shotz, even tried to help Rockstar stay competitive … by combining for a pitiful 3 for 14 at the plate! (These guys are so good you’ve got to give them a hard time when they’re just average.)

In the field Team Life Shotz was quick, agile, and well … goofy and fun. Tim Miller had a highlight reel catch in center field when he robbed a hit from Rockstar. The hitter just stared at Tim, not really believing he caught it. It was what they call a circus catch, that’s how unbelievable it was. Catcher Justin Kaiser happily handed the bat back to the stunned hitter and directed him back to the dugout. It was like a scene straight from a movie.

Kaiser was hilarious behind the plate catching for Pete. He had lots of banter for anyone who would listen. Opposing hitters, the umpires, and even the fans were laughing! Then there was Austin Hagmann who ran down a fly ball into shallow center field, caught it, and then decided to stare down the base runners and crow hop all the way back to the infield. (If you’ve never seen a crow hop, try to imagine a grown man skipping like kid and you’ll get pretty close!) Good form, Austin!

All of the guys were blistering the ball—except for Kaiser and Jon (ha!)—and keeping Rockstar on defense all night. At one point the game was a single run from being forfeited by Rockstar because they were taking such a beating. Team Life Shotz may have even sandbagged a little so they could prolong the enjoyment they felt.

Right now Team Life Shotz is 7-1 and atop the league. There is still much to play, and we’ll keep posting their photos on our Facebook page. All of the team loves your support and the comments you give, so make sure to post comments, good, bad, or trash! The team is made up of a great bunch of guys who all love Life Shotz, and they’re as much fun as the entire 21TEN family. We are proud of Team Life Shotz and the attitude and fun they bring to every game!

To Your Health,
Tom

Announcing New Advisory Board Members

by Richard Brooke on September 6, 2011

As we approach our one-year anniversary since the official launch of 21TEN, and with only 99 years to go before we hit our namesake year (2110), I have the honor of introducing our newest slate of Advisory Board members.

Returning will be Lisa Jimenez, Bob Henry, Dr. Todd Schlapfer, and Janine Avila. We are grateful for their continued support and leadership. As you know, Lisa, Dr. Todd, and Janine are deeply involved in everything we do at 21TEN, and all three are developing their own 21TEN sales groups. Their inspiration and partnership has been monumental in bringing 21TEN to its growth readiness stage. Bob Henry, although the CEO of another network marketing company, has remained a trusted confidant and champion of our vision.

Thanks to this amazing group of people, and I am honored and inspired to announce two new members to this board.

Rich Razgaitis has been a friend and confidant for the past three years. Although he is currently out of the network marketing industry, his experience, wisdom, and passion for our profession will be a powerful asset moving forward. Rich loves the entire concept of 21TEN and has been a Life Shotz evangelist since we introduced the product.

His insight into the future of marketing, social media, and communications will help keep us on the leading edge. Look for Rich at upcoming events and the occasional conference call. You are going to love his style!

“I’m thrilled to participate in the 21TEN organization and be a part of this group: great products, an exceptional team, enduring vision and commitment. It’s the makings of something special, lasting, and complete. Unique companies like this are few and far between, so to participate and have the chance to make a contribution is something for which I’m both extremely grateful and excited. Big things are ahead with an organization committed to greatness!”

- Rich Razgaitis

Chris Widener, as you can tell from his bio, is a New York Times best selling everything and the heir-apparent to Jim Rohn. He and Mr. Rohn collaborated on many projects and partnered on Mr. Rohn’s last book and leadership development program. Chris is the most sought after keynote speaker for the network marketing industry.

This is the first time in his storied career that Chris has chosen to build his wealth and security with a network marketing company … so imagine how many times he has been powerfully prospected!

Chris is a powerful marketer, writer and speaker. He has an enormous following and will build a wonderful group. Although Chris will continue to speak and write for other companies, he will be putting the majority of his focus on building his group here. He has been loving Life Shotz for over a year. Chris will be with us in Las Vegas in October and will no doubt blow the doors off that event.

“I am excited to be a part of the 21TEN family. It is an exciting opportunity for people to build a home-based business that can earn them incredible residual income selling a product that everyone needs and can benefit from. The team at the company headquarters is first-class and top-notch. The future is bright for 21TEN!”

- Chris Widener

I want to thank departing Advisory Board member Joe Rubino for his service during this first year of 21TEN, and we wish him well as he continues to build his Oxyfresh and personal development businesses.

Our first year of 21TEN has been stellar—absolutely groundbreaking, and from my point of view, it is unprecedented in our industry. I do not know of another company that has ever attracted so many highly credible endorsements and as many life-changing product experiences as we have with Life Shotz.

The momentum is building. I expect the next 12 months to turn this into a giant, runaway freight train, and before you and I know it this thing will be huge. We have a lot of leadership and enrollment work to do … and we are taking the next steps right now.

Thank you for your faith and engagement this last year. History is being written, and you will always be able to say “I was there …”
