Editor's Notes
We are talking because you probably said yes to a question like this:
1. Have you ever thought of doing anything for income in addition to your present work? , or
2. Are you open to looking at other ways to make income, for either now or in the future? , or
3. I would like to get together with you sometime and show you what I am excited about. Would you be willing to listen? You can be the judge for yourself.
Is this right?
Out of every adversity is the seed of equal or greater benefit.
With all these economic uncertainties, now may be the best time to diversify your income and increase your tax deductions.
We help people make more money, and keep it.
Now is the time to “catch the wave!”
There is no financial risk with this business.
You can enjoy the security of additional income and more friends.
Possibly the most subtle financial benefit of this business is that the income can keep coming in — long after you retire, and even after you pass on. The business and it’s income is inheritable.
Do you picture a better future for yourself and your family?
Are your dreams bigger than their income?
What would you do with additional income?
Have you ever noticed you are at the far end of the supply chain?
The best way to save money is don’t go to the store.
Between you and the manufacturer are all kinds of middlemen.
We can help you capture some of that money from the middle.
We help you move into the middle where you can make a little or a lot of money.
You deal primarily with exclusive products that help people live well longer.
You can offer others a chance to be involved with you as a business associate (or as a customer).
You can save over $1,000 a year by simply using our exclusive products.
By finding some good business associates you can earn an additional $60,000 a year or more.
Also, if you can find one person a year for the next five years who can earn $60,000/year or more for themselves, then you earn an additional $60,000 a year for finding them.
The Bonus Schedule is important.
Point Value (PV) generated from products ordered by people you sponsor counts toward your total.
Can you figure out what bonus bracket you would like to be in?
We recommend people start by using the products themselves. You can be your own best customer.
Many people are in the 3% bracket just based on a conversion of their home to the consumable exclusive products.
International Connection has IBOs who do from zero to over 1000 personal PV each month.
The 100 PV in this first example is from personal use by your family and possibly some customers or friends. It does not include PV from other IBOs.
To get started, think of the sharpest people you know, and show them this business plan. We will help you.
Can you think of some people right now? Who?
Let’s assume you find 6 who will join with you in the business as IBOs and will be able to do 100 personal PV/month.
Others that you show this plan to may prefer to be customers. You can sponsor some of these later as IBOs. Meanwhile their purchases help you do 100 personal PV/month or more each month. Set a goal to have 10 to 30 customers.
Your total group PV would now be at 9%. Momentum can build from here as your 6 IBOs start building their own businesses.
If you can sponsor 6 who can do 100 PV, then maybe they could at least sponsor 4 who could do the same.
You would then have 6 “legs” of business doing 500 PV each. Your total group PV would be at 18%.
You now are earning an additional $1,000 a month or more. This is better than $300,000 invested today in US Corporate Bonds, and you have tax deductions.
If each of the 6 have 4, then maybe each of the 4 can find 2.
You now have 6 legs, each with 13 IBOs and 1300 PV.
You are at 25%, the top bracket of the Bonus Schedule, and you now have a monthly bonus of $3,200.
That’s better than a million dollars invested in US Corporate Bonds today.
When you stay at this 25% level for 12 months, your monthly bonuses for the year total $38,484.
You will also enjoy a $15,000 year-end bonus, plus a 5 day award trip. That’s about $60,000/year.
Trip locations change each year — Las Vegas, Orlando, San Diego… Which would you prefer?
International Connection is planning fun business seminar trips to Maui and Bavaria. Would you like to go expenses paid?
Your $109,128 income increase is achieved from two sources:
(1). 4% BV bonus for each leg = $948/month X 3 legs X 12 months = $34,128
and (2). a year-end $75,000 bonus.
This is the best part. What if you had a 5 year plan to find one person a year for the next 5 years who could do better than you?
Think of people who know a whole group of people that you don’t know. They can be anywhere in North America.
When they are at 25%, you are paid a 4% bonus on their group volume. 5 groups like this would be $60,000 a year, plus year-end bonuses.
All of these benefits are primarily possible because we have a privately-owned Corporation that manufactures and guarantees over 450 quality products, backed by over 700 patents, and offers them globally and exclusively to Independent Business Owners rather than through stores or other outlets. They help us offer Free Enterprise to millions of people globally. Ref: Time magazine’s back cover April 6, 2009.
These benefits are further enhanced by International Connection.
