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
- 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!
