FLEXIBILITY – A business opportunity that is tailored to you

The business opportunity behind Miessence and ONE Group is as unique and remarkable as our certified organic range itself. Becoming a representative offers you choice. The choice to build a business that is a reflection and extension of your interest, passion, time and goals. All the while we will support you with full training and resources, including a duplicatable web site, training manuals and promotional material.

ETHICAL AND SUPPORTIVE CULTURE

At the core of our company and products lies our commitment to the environment and health. Our certified organic products are not only a guarantee of purity, it is a commitment to sustainable agricultural practice and building a future for our children. This culture of passion and ethics is reflected by the way we do business. Our business model incorporates the best of network marketing (or MLM) but goes further.

At it's worst network marketing was about "starting with 100 friends then ending up with 99 ex-friends and one representative". With our training and support we work with you to avoid this by NOT TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE, but finding ways to get these products and the opportunity out to people WHO ARE LOOKING.

In that sense our job is to help representatives become educators and supporters of the organic movement. Rather than "sales people" our reps are simply getting information out to people and helping the growing numbers of those who are interested to get healthy and eco friendly products of the highest quality.

Your business is just that... a business. So the potential for your business to grow and build you passive, residual income is really dependent on how much you want to put into it.

YOUR BUSINESS PLAN

Upon joining you will have the support of me and my team in designing and implementing a business plan that suits you. Some of the things we will consider in establishing this are:

• your time budget: commit from 5 hours/ week to a full time working week
   
• your financial budget: spend as little as $80/ month
   
• your situation: your networks, skills and existing commitments
   
• your goals: what do you want to get from this opportunity? This might be as modest as wanting your personal products for free right up to earning US$100,000/ year. Either option is achievable depending on your commitment and the time you give it.
  YOUR STRATEGIES

From your business plan we will work with you to establish strategies to help build your business. This might include a MAXIMUM OF THREE of the following options. We help you to choose options that sit naturally with who you are and what you are most likely to be able to sustain overtime.

1. TALK TO YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS –
Be professional. This requires being organized, so writing a list of people who might be interested in the products and/or the business opportunity. When someone is not interested, DO NOT try to convince them, ask if they know someone who might be. For people that you know who are interested we can help you present the products and opportunity with three way phone calls.

2. 100 NEWSPAPER STRATEGY –
You can purchase our Organic & Natural Living newspapers at cost price, they explain the benefits of our products but beyond that discuss issues such as: "how to become an ingredient detective", "the impact of synthetic chemicals on our environment", "breast cancer and toxins" etc.. They are both educational and empowering.
Normal direct marketing generates a response of less than 0.2% if it is not specific. The response rate goes up substantially if targeted correctly, anything up to a 12% return has been achieved. This is how it works. You strategically place 100 newspapers monthly in locations where people who relate to wellbeing frequent. Locations that promote health are a good start, gyms, health professional waiting rooms, places where mothers with young children visit etc.. You should ask permission of the Manager/Owner before leaving the publication anywhere. Always ask how many clients visit the location over a month. That will give you a guide as to how many papers to leave. Any calls you receive will be from people wanting more information, so your conversion rate will be very high. Using this method, you are not selling they are buying!

3. GROUP MEETINGS –
We can help you organize public talks in your city. Have them advertised on this web site and use downloadable posters from our members section. Historically, 20% of people who attend these talks have become Representatives and it is not unusual that a further 30% of attendees become Preferred Customers. For this strategy to be successful you need to have people attend the meeting and you need to follow up those who participated. We can provide you with a Power Point presentation and work with you on how to present it most effectively.
It is usual to have an attendance of 2-3% of the number of invitations you put out. That is, if you distribute 1,000 invitations, you can expect between 20 – 30 people to attend. Knowing this allows you to determine how big or small you want your presentation to be. NB: Invitations need to be targeted and not just placed in letterboxes.

4. ADVERTISING –
Large or expensive ads are not necessarily better – the best results are generally achieved from ads of $15 - $150. Using key words and phrases such as “organic” “worlds first” “new to . . .” “Unique network marketing model" have the best results. You can also download a range of posters and leaflets from our members section to photocopy and distribute in your area.

5. STALLS & EXPOS –
A great opportunity to talk to a range of people. Don't aim to get too many contacts, but focus on finding out who is really interested by asking the right questions. Do organic products appeal to you? Do you buy organics? Are you interested in a home-based business? The forgotten art of listening is crucial to this process.

6. THE WEB –
Build your business on line, I have many unique, effective tools to share with you. You will be given a FREE website as soon as you join as a Representative so make the most of it. We also offer Representatives the opportunity to purchase their own "product" site for marketing purposes.

7. HOME PRESENTATIONS –
This can generate a significant cash flow on the night and will potentially provide you with both regular customers and new Representatives. We have created a unique product – Ambrosia Essence an exclusive host gift. Guests can receive up to 20% discount on their orders which will be delivered free if the order exceeds $100.

8. FUNDRAISING –
A unique opportunity exists where schools, sporting and social clubs, church groups and the like can have their very own fundraising website. As with retail outlets, markets & expos, you will need to request allocation of any organization you wish to approach. In the Member’s Area click on “Fundraising” – then click on “Allocation Request”. Organizations will receive up to 30% of the retail price of products ordered through their website.

9. RETAIL –
(available in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand). Work with traditional retailers to fill growing off the shelf demand for our products. Receive training to approach retailers in a professional and supportive manner.

10. HEALTH & BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS –
Health and beauty professionals receive generous discounts from our range. Many simply order as customers, then on sell the products in their business. Others do this but also become representatives, building a business that can develop a passive income in the future.
