Where do you want to GO and GROW?

Wed, 09 May 2012 04:55:23 +0100

If you decided to become a VIP Shopper or even an Independent Business Owner that helps to promote eCosway, you may want to give a little thought or planning on to where you want to go and grow?

eCosway offers you an international opportunity with nearly unlimited potential for growth and reach.

So how does it work?

You start here! In Aliso Viejo, CA or wherever you are.   Then you either promote online shopping or shopping at your local store in your area or the referral area.

If you don't have a store nearby yet try to get a Free Store for yourself or you can also try to find someone that wants to operate a store in your area and help them get qualified, or just shop online and patiently wait for someone in your area to blossom into the opportunity that eCosway offers.

So you can start wherever you are and branch out to nearly wherever you want.   Helping to connect families and people from around the globe to a common cause of better products for better prices and the opportunity to profit from sharing it with others (cutting out the advertising middle man).

It is really as simple as sharing.   Flapping your mouth a bit.   Talking to friends and people you meet, sharing what you like about eCosway and its products.   Then just remember your number, share that with your friend and ask them to go check it out. Or if your friend is local, bring them into the store nearest you. Show them what great products and prices we offer.

Usually everyone can find something they are interested in.   Not everything is for everyone and that is fine and by design.   We sell a wide variety of products to ensure that we can satisfy a broad market place of health concious consumers that want to save money and maybe even make a little on the side or as a new line of primary business.   Their choice.

So think about where you might want to grow your business, because if it grows, you can go to support it AND probably write it, or much of it, off of your taxes... (obviously check with your tax advisor, but as an independent contractor traveling to support his network, I believe much if not all of it can be deducted... So it gives you a bit more incentive to GO...

So decide Today where do you want to GO and GROW your eCosway network of shoppers and business owners.

Then decide Tomorrow, Where ELSE you want to GO and GROW!

My personal goal is 32 Direct branches with global consumption! I want to travel to Russia, China, UK, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, etc.

You Know You Made It "On The Map" When...

Tue, 01 May 2012 19:24:40 +0100

The term made it "on the map" or made it "on the radar" has always implied or meant that your business, effort or entity was big enough or had enough momentum to "be noticed".

These days with the Internet it is a lot easier to get "on the map".

So when I came to work the other day and saw this strange car, then looked closer... I thought "WOW - I HAVE FINALLY MADE IT ON THE MAP!"

Then I looked a little closer and the cameras were all covered up. :-(

So I took my own picture! :-)

Take that Google... Now you are on MY MAP!

Scenarios and how they can help...

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:15:47 +0100

When you are explaining the eCosway Shopping or Business model to someone it is often wise to first listen to what they have to say about what they do, so you can try to relate our business to theirs if at all possible.

This will often help them understand. Similarly when teaching new recruits... often times, the confused look on their face will tell you that they didn't get it, THAT ROUND... TRY AGAIN.

Use a different analogy and say it a different way. Try drawing a diagram showing the relationships and the flow of money between the two based upon sales or purchases.

So for example, I had a person I was helping the other day at the store. They wanted to know why they wouldn't get the commission selling a water system after having not qualified for BPI and EI yet in their first 30-120 days. I explained that because the was part of qualification their sponsor deserved it even though it might of been purchased by a VIP below another VIP below the IBO (person I was helping) that is still "unqualified as it relates to the BPI and EI bonuses.

I pointed out that this was a good reason to get qualified if you can. But if you have a "go-getter" that is a VIP and you KNOW they will sell a lot of water systems to their friends... what can you do? A couple things.

1. You can convince them to become an IBO and qualify their center to 1000 eV in the first day (presumably with water systems), then they will capture ALL of their VIP or IBO Sales of anyone they sponsor or anything they sell.

2. A less expensive trick would be have them sign up as two different IBOs... one for their company, then one for them, then their spouse or friend as the shopper under the lower business. Then it will capture any profits trying to roll up in the ":upper" IBO position.. This is the end goad., even if they want to transact the business as a VIP. Just do one center, but then.

If neither of those works, I am sure we could come up with aother apprach.

Good luck and if you want... stop by the store, introduce yourself and say hi and buy something while your their...

The Secret is Out! We don't check your ID!!

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 04:52:36 +0100

OK If you are here reading this presumably you are either an IBO (Independent Business Owner) or you are a VIP Shopper that is trying to get some friends to join and spend money so you can earn FREE PRODUCTS, but you have a hard time telling them about it or explaining the membership or its benefits.

There is an EASY Answer!   Let us help and do it for you.

You don't have to be salesy either to make money or earn free stuff, but you do need to flap your mouth and perhaps plot and strategize a bit with my guidance to in effect "Lend Out" your membership ID to our store as an incentive to your friends to stop in and check it out.   Tell them the next time they are at the Edwards Cinemas for a movie, they could pop in and get much healthier organic snacks at a much lower price with your ID.   While they are in they will hopefully see some of the other wonderful products that we carry and decide they might need some digestive supplement as an example for that after movie popcorn ache...   (basically sharing your pleasure in the snacks as a "tip" for your friend).

Or you could rave (if you love them like we do) about our toothbrush, our eco-friendly laundry soap, our unique value oriented nutritional supplements and foods, our anti-aging skin care lines (that are often 1/10 - 1/3) the cost of what you would pay in a typical retail department store, without the brand or the "needless markup" of profit they take, much of which goes to fund their ad campaigns, their movie stars, etc.    Tell them there is a membership, but that they can borrow your ID. This will lower their fear of entry. People as a rule don't like to join things unless it is free or vogue. Well we can let you join for Free if you just buy forty ($40) of regular priced items in your first shopping trip... then you can get a free membership. Otherwise it is only $20 and you can save an additional $60. So the best deal depends on how much you want to buy.

Most people go for the "free membership", but if you want to buy a lot of stuff, then the best deal might be to pay the $20 and get the $60 in savings.... on non-sale items.      Regardless, its easy, pain free and either FREE or just $20 and you can immediately make back $40 in savings... How can it get any better than that?

To top it off, you will be added to our exclusive mail list of our sales and introductory items and get your own large product catalog that will allow you to read up and do your own outside research on various products before you make a purchase. I like to call our catalogs educational tools.   They are also sales tools obviously but to sell you we must often educate you as to the possible benefits of a product in order for you to determine if it is worth the trade off of your hard earned cash. Trust me, it often will be!

So become a prosumer and acknowledge this for what it is... You are paying to be sold in these cases.   We all do it to some extent. That is in essence the definition of marketing, planning, creation of educational materials, etc. that help to increase sales. So even in eCosway, there is some of this cost. We still print up catalogs telling you about a product and its great science or herbal ingredients.

As store operators we "Lend Out" our VIP Shopper's ID numbers all the time, but this just allows us to make more money. If you lend out your ID, then you get to capture that profit for your use either in the store as Discount Points for the VIP Shopper or as Direct Profit for the IBO. (Yes if you want free stuff, just join as a shopper, then sign up a close friend or relative as a shopper and lend out the second persons ID number, then if your friend shops with the ID then you will profit. Now if you bring them in and/or tell them to signup, then use your main ID, but lending out your "Profit Shopper" as I like to call it, can be profitable to YOU!

Sound too hard or confusing... Trust me it isn't stop by and ask me to explain it and I would be happy to walk you through some scenarios with your friends, shoppers, or any wild idea you might have.

Obviously my goals are largely selfish. I want to be one of the most successful eCosway and Country Farm Organics stores in the country.   I cannot do it without YOU! I need more people to shop in my store... Local people that live or work in Aliso Viejo. So let the secret out of the bag.   Join and Join in on the profits or the free stuff.

More importantly, perhaps you might be able to pickup on one or more of our great products that can help your overall health and well being.

THAT IS MY MAIN GOAL!   Obviously I need to make a living to survive, but I really truly want to help people live a healthier, happier life.   So join me and we can be successful together.

BTW - If you have a charity or a good cause that you are wanting to help out we can talk and I can show you how a group or team of people can in effect work together and funnel their personal purchasing to help their cause profit from it.

What if you want to earn with just one profit center.

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:29:39 +0100

First, If you are a VIP Shopper - This post doesn't really apply to you, because you instantly only have and get one center with no further qualification required after joining... just renewal in one year for either paying $20 fee OR Purchasing at least $40 in regular priced products just like when you first joined (Not the sale price, rewards, organics or special sets - all member benefit related and you must be a member first.)

You can do this every year by the way (purchase for a free membership)

As a VIP Shopper you earn money as Store Credits - Discount Points when the shoppers you referred shop. But you don't earn cash that you can spend anywhere, you earn credits for ecosway that spend just like cash at any eCosway.

There is one other alternative method to join so that when you refer people you get REAL CASH and when you shop you CAN EARN PROFIT FROM EVEN YOUR OWN PURCHASES. (With a little secret Trick).

This membership is called an IBO (Independent Business Owner). In otherwords. IBOs are NOT employees of eCosway, simply independent business owners that have paid to tap into the companies multi-million dollar systems.

The company then offers various qualification levels for different earnings especially into the future, but unlike some companies that care where you fit in there structure, this one is based soley on personal volume in the first Thirty (30) to One Hundred and Twenty (120) days that can be SOLD or PURCHASED to meet the qualification levels.

Some of The EXTRA EARNING POTENTIAL of Qualification comes from the concept of "legal cloning" of yourself within the system (or re-entry in some plans) - if you qualify you can get Three (3) or Seven (7) profit centers (for no extra cost - like you see in a re-entry type business plan). This will increase your check fractionally by paying you for each center - in effect GETTING MORE MONEY from the same efforts and volume. It does come with a cost though.    It is a tad more complicated to understand and administer on a monthly basis, but it also has a higher monthly qualification. So some people just want to keep it simple with One (1) business or profit center - just like the VIP Shopper but for cash rather than store credits.

If you are THAT PERSON, and you want to earn the most from One (1) profit center
the easiest way to do this and earn all your own DP from one profit center is to qualify it straight up as such in the first 60 days (do less than 500eV in the first month and finish the 500eV in the second month. Once you have hit that qualification of an unlimited BPI and EI single center then you can earn all your own DP from your VIP Shoppers Special Set purchases for the life of your business as long as you renew ($30 annually).

WHAT IS ALL THAT YOU MAY BE SAYING?

EV = Earning Volume (ranges from about 15-33% of the retail price of product)
DP = Discount Points for VIP Shoppers and Direct Profit for Business Members.
BPI = Branch Performance Incentive - a branch by branch bonus paid (all except one qualification leg each month - the biggest one). This bonus is only paid if earned through the purchase or sale of special sets.
EI = Extra Incentive = a branch by branch bonus paid (all except one qualification leg each month - the biggest one).
VIP = Very Important Person = YOU = A member in eCosway that want to take advantage of the great products and savings, but really isn't interested in a business. The advantage no monthly upkeep, just annual renewal, tell your friends and start earning free stuff. Disadvantage is you can only get free stuff from eCosway.
IBO = Independent Business Owner = A business membership in eCosway with the goal of earning CASH.

So to summarize the background definition info: You can either join eCosway as a VIP or an IBO. VIPs get free stuff. IBOs earn cash. IBOs can qualify their businesses in the first 30-120 days to get more cash from the same effort... So hopefully that is perfectly clear now (the options).

So two more ways to have a simple one profit center business are:

The other way is to immediately do the 1000 eV in the first day or first month and achieve full qualification and earn Seven (7) centers, then you will be FULLY QUALIFIED. NO WHERE ELSE TO GO.

But you only want one center right. Then use ANY ONE of your profit centers in your Seven (7) pack of businesses.

Usually one of your bottom profit centers is best.   So you can pick between C, D, E or F or if you are doing this with just a Three (3) business center package then you will likely use A or B as your Building and primary center. Using this methodology you can keep and hold your big foundation or house for the monthly price of a small studio apartment...

Listen if you have some cash, I highly recommend this Seven (7) business center option on the basis that you will want to try a lot of our products and even if you don't have cash and you plan to sell all the product to qualify and buy nothing, you at least should aim for the top and then build smart. What I mean is get the big foundation that could support a six figure a year income that is long lasting and sustainable and not getting the bigger foundation could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost possible earnings.   There are catchup options but they are painful!   So if you can, just do it, try and use the products share the ones you love with your friends and start earning cash from their purchases. Sign up another business owner and soon you can have a large branch that will provide depth and stability to your business.

If you have the means (and please only if you truly have the means) buy up the whole 1000eV from your choice of over 60 sprecial sets you can choose from some with discounts guaranteed to pay you back your $60 membership cost - so at least buy one of those (that one is ONLY available in the first 30 days - LIMIT One (1).

The final way to achieve this is to do 500 eV only in the first 30 days and earn the Three (3) business center package (fully qualified). Then again just build and use one center (ANY ONE CENTER) - the smartest being one of the bottom centers.

Once you start earning a good income from eCosway then you can expand your business out as you desire.

All the best and may your business be profitable and long lasting.

What is the right size of eCosway business for you?

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:35:21 +0100

eCosway offers a unique business opportunity that scales to fit the needs of the individual.   You can have a small, medium or large foundation for your business.

If you are the person that just wants a small business for a secondary source of income, then you can start for only $60 and get one profit center position within the company's profit plan.

With one profit center (a small simple business) you can still grow your earnings to a very large monthly number.   Just get your one profit center, then tell friends, family or your existing customers about us, send them into the nearest eCosway store with your business number and you will earn from their purchases after they enroll as a VIP Shopper or an Independent Business Owner. If they just want to try a product out, let them buy in your number till they decide they love us. Either way you earn up to 15% profit of the retail price of normal items.

VIP Shoppers can also earn this profit as discount points for Free stuff by telling their friends about eCosway. So they help you grow your business too while they are also helping themselves.

Obviously your referral business depends on you or your people making referrals to eCosway. The best way to do this is to use the products. Then tell your friends how and what you love about a particular product, then send them to the store in their area with your number. This kind of recommendation is what really sells items. Personal experiences shared from the heart.   So it is easy, because if we love a product we do this naturally. Most of us instinctively want to help our friends and family.

This and the combination of great deals and sales make it easy to recruit VIP Shoppers into your business.   Just tell people and send them in.   If these same people would rather make actual money as opposed to earning eCosway discount points for free stuff, then they can also join as a small business owner or a medium or even a large business owner (you still get paid regardless).  In eCosway you can be a small business owner and still fish for big business owners and not worry about losing them to break aways or other ridiculous volume matching requirements associated with most direct selling programs.

Once enrolled, a person is attached to your business for the life of their membership as long as they renew it ($20/yr for VIP and $30/yr for IBOs). This means you can be earning money from each and every one of their purchases (to an infinite depth and width), whether they shop at eCosway here in Aliso Viejo or anywhere around the world. If you get other IBOs on your team, their purchases and all of their IBO's purchases and all of their VIP's purchases count toward your volume and your profit.

If you know instinctively and immediately know this is an excellent opportunity for you and you want a mid-sized or super-sized business, then you should either buy or try really hard to sell to your VIPs 500 or 1000 eV in special sets in the first 30 days of opening your business.

If you can hit either the 500 or 1,000 eV sales levels in the first 30 days, it will essentially clone your one profit center, you, into either two (2) or six (6) additional positions for a total of 3 or 7 profit centers (all you.)

These larger business foundations with three (3) profit centers at the 500 eV sales level and the largest business foundation with seven (7) profit centers at the 1,000 eV sales level must be achieved in the first 30 days of your business. Otherwise they are much harder to earn but can be met in the future.  They both amplify your income for the same effort. With three centers, you can earn an extra check from the same volume. With seven centers you can earn three extra checks with the same volume.

Regardless of the business foundation you end up with, the way to grow your business of any size is to refer in new customers and new business owners into your network or group of people that make up your volume.   The profit plan pays much better for width than depth. Unlimited width allows you to grow and control your own income all by yourself. Sponsor enough people or get enough people shopping every month and you can essentially have a one level deep business that pays you quite well, but if you really tap into the system and help those below you be successful then you can build depth which delivers stablity and staying power or longevity. If you get a branch up to a mass of say 100,000 ev every month, it is very likely to stay a very large number for a very long time and realistically should grow with no further assistance from you... Stability and Longevity. You need at least two branches to make the bigger bonuses, but as I like to say would you rather get an extra check for half your business or 9/10s of your business. Go Wide!

If for some reason your income starts to drop off, just recruit some new front line people and supercharge your income in the next check.

The person with an organically grown business of shoppers, shopping naturally for things they use regularly like laundry soap, shampoo, soaps, toothpastes and toothbrushes, lotions, moisturizers, cleaning supplies, nutritional supplements, weight loss, etc. Most of these items are consumed on a regular basis and if you can show your friends, family and customers about the quality and value we offer, they will naturally expand their purchasing over time and your check will grow over time!

The larger business foundations of 3 or 7 profit center amplify the earning potential of your business both long term and short term, but a larger foundation does bring with it a larger monthly requirement to capture all the earnings.   There is no auto-ship. I repeat there is no auto-shipment or auto-debit feature in the eCosway systems, if you want paid you must for each profit center you have (1, 3, or 7) do 15 eV per month per profit center to receive the maximum check for each. Up to $50 checks you only need five (5) eV, up to $100 checks you only need ten (10) eV.

Some people with means and capital buy up their own sales volume in their first 30 days in order to ensure they have the large foundation for the future. This is an option not a requirement. If you are truly strapped and this isn't an option, then just make sure you hit your sales goal. If you miss it the world is not over, focus on building up your income and appreciate the fact that you can focus in on growth of your income with a small monthly requirement of only 15 eV. With one business center you can always supercahrge it for BPI and EI by doing 1000 eV in any given month in special sets by you or your VIP Shoppers. You can even eventually earn back the right to have 3 or 7 profit centers.   But relatively it's a hard long road. You must have 4 branches with 20,000 eV each in any month and you will earn your A & B clones (3 profit centers). If you have 8 branches with at least 20,000 in any given month then you will earn your C, D, E and F clones or (7 profit centers) ,so focus on your income you can always expand your business in other ways in the future.

For a small business you can start with as little as $100.00. $60.00 IBO Membership - $40 of regular product for free VIP Shopper Membership (so you can earn from your own purchases and/or let your leads use your shopper to try one or two items, while you are still earning from their purchases).

If you want to buy up 3 profit center positions without selling in your first 30 days it will cost you between $850-$1,000.

If you want to buy up your own 7 profit center positions without selling in your first 30 days it will cost you between $1,700-$2,000.   You get products for this at or below retail cost and you earn the amplified qualification eV from the special sets to qualify for less money than if you could just buy regular products for qualification (which you cannot).

If you want a big business but don't have the money, then you have to start selling quickly and sell for example five (5) hexagon water systems or twenty (20) Caviar Skin Care Sets for $90 each or Fuel Enhancer Sets (5 bottle set for $90). Then you only have to spend $100 and you can still qualify to get the advantage of the biggest business foundation the company offers.

With or without the larger foundation, you can dilligently build your eCosway business to any size you like. There is no limit to your income regardless of the size of your business foundation. The only limit is the number of people not already signed up, your ability to sign them up and the amount of products they are buying each month.

eCosway offer's the fairest compensation plan I have ever seen.   True unlimited width potential, and true unlimited depth potential without the dangerous risks and caveats associated with other direct selling opportunities.

So get started today, pick your business foundation thats right for you and get started today.

If your already in the business, the takeaway here is to sell people what they want. Don't try to fit square pegs into round holes... you will go crazy and you won't end up with a long lasting profitable business.

I wish you all the best with your long lasting profits and success. Stop by the Aliso Viejo store to see us.
