Ok so this blog might take a little bit to write... I had to overcome a lot of things personally and mentally to even just get to where I am at now with Herbalife... So... I will start at the beginning.
Why Herbalife.... Well it all started with a door flyer that was placed on my front door knob. I had seen it a few times before that year but just kind of tossed it as soon as I took it off, so it took a few times to actually catch my eye. (Repetition is key) I made an appointment to go into The Daily Shake/(Kearney Nutrition), were the flyer generated from, which is just a few blocks down the street from my house. So I went into this place (The Daily Shake) which had a very home like feel to it.. The people were nice, they gave me some free samples and a health evaluation, which told me of my BMI and where I needed to be weight wise based off my general health information; age, height and so on... They told me of their weight loss and health success stories, I still had my doubts... but there was just something different about these people... and then the products I mean... the shake and the tea actually tasted really good! The price was a little bit of an issue with me... but honestly you get what you pay for in this world and I was ready to change! I needed the extra weight off of my body like yesterday! So I bought my first program with them.. took it home and started the following Monday... Part of the deal was that if I weighed in every week I would get $1 towards my next product purchase... which is a pretty good motivating deal. My first week I lost 2lbs 2inches, next week 2lbs 2inches the week after that 3lbs 2inches and so on and so forth. But it was about the third week where I decided to ask the question, "Can I sale this stuff too?" I mean by week three I had lost close to 10lbs and 10inches! Stacey, who was to that point my, “Weight Loss / Wellness Coach,” excitingly said, “yes you can!” She right away pulled out a piece of paper that simply explained the business plan and opportunity… The initial investment was only $65 and a %25 product discount and 25% retail profit plan... (plus the purchase my own products for personal use, (which I was already doing) which I will discuss in a future blog...)
~Food for thought: Would you ever catch the CEO of Nike wearing Adidas?~
Anyway back to the $65… I couldn’t really afford it.. but I wanted it! So I put a little bit of my time to work. I found a way to make the time to hand out door flyers by myself and within two weeks I made enough to purchase my $65 IMB (international business pack) and profit yet about $75 which went right into my pocket! (or my water bill) haha Oh…life!
Back to my door/flyer hanging, which I have grown to love to do by the way! At first I hated it… I really didn’t want to do it.. but I needed it! My family and I needed me to do something… since filling out applications and doing interview after interview for the corporate/hourly paid world had failed me. So I said to myself, “I will hire myself and be the best employee ever!” I remember my first day of doing flyers… It was HOT, like 107 degrees HOT and humid!!! I was a mess… two hours I committed myself to hanging these flyers about 100+ of them. The second day wasn’t as bad… The third day got a little easier however that’s when I almost quit… I was cursing myself for becoming that person walking around someone’s neighborhood (even though I wasn’t bothering anyone by knocking on their door) I still felt like I shouldn’t of had to do it. Then I remembered who and why I was doing it… not for me, not for The Daily Shake or Herbalife... I was doing it for my family, plus I wanted to help others! So quickly I rid myself of that negative attitude and remembered a bible teaching of how you, “reap what you sew..” and from that point on I just repeated that to myself and to this day keep myself positive with that. Now I can push out almost 200 flyers an hour and just love it!!!
The walks I take for door hangers now are an experience. These “door flyer walks” are something I consider, “my time.” I take that time to breath in some fresh air, take in Gods nature, maybe talk to someone new and say, “hello!.. how are you?” Also doing the door hangers gives me much needed exercise which only adds to my weight loss and overall health!
So… What has come of the door flyers, well so far… very satisfied customers, weight loss, improved health for each and every one of them(my customers)… and yes about $400-$600 profit per month for me.. (which doesn’t include the money made out of the Nutrition Club.. when I put myself to work there, I make shakes for people..) My goal is to have my own Nutrition Club, (as well as help others build this amazing business opportunity for themselves) Which I will explain more of in the coming blogs,… however I’m just getting started, and I see such a bright future!
Well that’s all for now more of my story to come.. so stay tuned!!! Next I will talk about my personal invite experience (where I personally hand out a flyer to someone) and how easy it is to promote your business! I can’t wait to continue sharing!!! Thank-you for reading and God Bless~
Door Flyers are on of the many effective ways to get people to come to you! So keep in mind that its just all about being brave, getting out there.. and promoting yourself and talking to people!
