ZriiWeekly

Executive MessageZrii is Yours to GiveDecember is a time for giving and sharing. What bet-ter month than to spread the news of Zrii? People all over the world are getting ready to set New Year’s res-olutions, in health and wellness, as well as personal finance. Take the opportunity to share with them what they’ve been looking for to improve their life. That is what brought me to Zrii—I wanted the chance to help make a difference. So set your sights high and finish the year strong so that you’ll already be elevated to launch even higher into 2010.

Recently I rediscovered a quote by Deepak Chopra that states: “I love the unknown. It’s in the unknown that we live all the time, pretending it’s the known. I start my day saying, ‘I hope this day is even more uncertain than yesterday.’ If life can be a series of perpetual surprises, that’s the most joyful experience you can have. If you’re willing to step into the unknown, then everything is a surprise.” Do you let your life be guided by some ele-ments of surprise? Are you willing to let yourself step outside your comfort zone and look for adventure? I believe that the Zrii opportunity is the surprise that some people are looking for, which will bring them the most joyful experiences they can have. More and more people are embracing Ayurveda and a healthier life-style, looking for more serenity in our fast-paced world. Let the news of Zrii be a joyful surprise for others.

The future is bright for Zrii, and the excitement in the Corporate office is growing stronger every day. Bill Far-ley was here last week and let us all know how pleased he is with the direction we are headed. People are again taking notice of us for the great things we are doing. And I have just returned from a trip to Israel, where momentum is growing as well! , We have some amaz-ing opportunities in Zrii, and I have the great privilege to oversee our international growth.

Zrii has a niche that no other company can offer—we are endorsed by the Chopra Center and focus on nat-ural wellness through Ayurveda. No other company has that endorsement! And people all over the world already knowledgeable of Deepak Chopra will want to join us, for we all know that Zrii products can change

lives. They are specifically formulated by our Scientific Advisory Board, men who work with Ayurveda on a daily basis. What other opportunity can present that?

Next year will bring some fantastic enhancements to our company. In 2010, we plan to open Colombia and Israel and look forward to the momentum that those two countries will create for us. If you’re in Mexico, Canada, and Puerto Rico, our goal is still the same—to continue to build growth and support our markets for even better durability. Zrii is on a path to success.

Remember that Zrii can only be a great as you are willing to make it! So spread the news of Zrii, help us strengthen our markets, and turn this company into a billion-dollar brand!

IE SpotlightBonnie Heverly Bonnie Heverly was first introduced to network marketing in 1985 while she worked in the service deli at a local grocery store. One day a young man approached her at the deli and invited her to a meeting that night to learn about a new business that he said she “would do well in”. Bonnie was 22 at the time and disliked her job, so she went to that

meeting. Unfortunately, no one signed her in, asked her who had invited her, or even said hi. Fast forward to 1993. Bonnie was again approached at the deli and went to a meeting for a company called PFS. This time she was met by the person who invited her to the meet-ing, was signed in, and was introduced to other people at that meeting. Bonnie went on to become a regional vice president and earn a 6 figure income with that company. She feels there is a big lesson in that story for everyone—follow up, follow up, follow up.

“I actually thought I would retire at my last company, but when I saw Zrii I knew,” Bonnie said. “I knew Zrii was different, cutting edge, and unique beyond anything I had ever seen, and I could not pass up this kind of op-portunity. I’ve never been the kind of person who goes company to company. I guess I like stability. I worked in the deli for 13 years, at PFS for 15 years, and I plan on retiring with Zrii”.

Bonnie continually encourages us all to display excite-ment and enthusiasm, which are the keys to success in this business. “Many new IE’s recruit most of their per-sonal directs in the very beginning of their career. It’s not their knowledge of this business or the products that allows them to do that. It is their excitement and their enthusiasm that allows them to build. With that being said, I am a big believer in becoming proficient

in your craft. The secret is keeping up your excitement and your enthusiasm while you are gaining your knowl-edge. I am inspired by my team, the Legacy Leader-ship Team, on a daily basis. Having an opportunity to work with such dynamic people is a blessing beyond my wildest dreams.”

“Before joining Zrii, I had never heard of Ayurveda or amalaki. I knew very little about the Chopra Center or the ways of Eastern medicine. I did know, however, that what I was hearing made absolute sense. Some folks in network marketing focus totally on product. Some folks in network marketing focus totally on the busi-ness. I have always been focused on both equally. I also know how fortunate we are to have a company being run by the most talented, energetic and committed people in the industry. The corporate team from top to bottom is our greatest asset. And of course, our magic bullet, the feather in our cap—our remarkable, char-ismatic, and noble leader Bill Farley. Lives are being changed. People are dreaming again. I am so proud to be part of Zrii!”

Ways to Increase Your Referrals and Make More Money

(Zrii editor’s note: Because of the length of each tip, we will feature one tip per week to give you adequate time to apply each to your business!)

By Colleen Francis, Direct Selling Professional

4. Send thank-you notes and gifts

Send a thank-you note for every referral, and a gift for every referral that turns into business.

Thank-you notes should be handwritten, on a note card or postcard that isn’t branded with your company advertising. Keep a supply of traditional, fun, theme and plain note cards handy for all occasions through-out the year. For a real treat, spoil yourself with a great fountain pen to make writing the notes something you really look forward to.

For gifts, don’t send the same old thing to everyone. Instead, take a minute to think about what your cus-tomer would really like. If they’re dedicated oenophiles, send wine. If they’re into sports, try tickets to a game. For gourmets or candy-o-holics (like myself), food baskets work wonders, and are available in almost any size, style and budget at the click of a mouse – some of my personal favorites are www.harryanddavid.com, www.elenis.com, www.candybouquet.com and www.baskits.com

Got some favorite sites of your own? I’m always on the lookout for new ideas (not to mention new sources of gourmet delectables!). So if you send us a list of your favorite Web sites for client gifts, we’ll return the favor by sending you a gift, too – a free copy of our Prospect-ing for Profit eBook. There – see how easy that was?

One last thing – I implore you NEVER to send electronic greeting cards, no matter the occasion. E-cards look like you were too lazy or didn’t care enough to do the real leg work needed to honor your customer – and let’s face it, that’s not too far off the mark, is it?

Go the extra mile, and write a personalized note. That little extra effort is what will get you noticed – and get you more referrals.

ComplianceWho, What, When, Where, Why, and How?As a friendly reminder, here are email addresses that you can use to corre-spond with the compliance department. Using the correct email address will as-sure that you receive proper assistance. Thank you!

The first thing you can do to improve communication with

your boyfriend is to look at the language you are using to

describe him and your relationship. If your internal con-

versation is that he tends to express himself in a passive

aggressive manner and rarely wants to engage, chances

are high that you will reinforce your interpretation of him

and perpetuate your resentful feelings.

The next time you are feeling upset, ask yourself, “What

is happening that is at odds with what I would like to

experience?” Rather than thinking or saying, “My boy-

friend is passive aggressive,” notice the information

you are receiving. It might be that he is watching a TV

show, whereas you would like his attention. See if you

can identify a specific behavior that you would like to

see him express. Rather than insisting that he commu-

nicate more, ask him to take a walk with you after din-

ner. Rather than threatening to leave him if he won’t go

into therapy, ask him to read something that you think

will help deepen your relationship – such as Marshall

Rosenberg’s excellent book Nonviolent Communication.

You have to be willing to try something different if you

want a different outcome.

With love,

David

Dear Dr. Simon, My boyfriend tends to express himself in a

passive aggressive way. I find myself afraid to dig deeper and at the

same time resentful that I have to be the one to initiate open and

direct communication. How can I handle this?

Ask Dr. Simon

David Simon, M.D. is the medical director

and co-founder of the Chopra Center for Well-

being in Carlsbad, California, and is a member

of the Zrii Scientific Advisory Board. To ask

Dr. Simon your questions about physical health,

emotional wellbeing, and self-empowerment,

please send an email to [email protected].
