Herbalife’s new Marketing Plan Enhancements

Herbalife launched some exciting Marketing Plan enhancements!!!

The three major elements of these enhancements are:

1) Qualified Producer

This is a new, optional level between Distributor and Supervisor that allows commission to be earned earlier in the Marketing Plan. Reach this level by accumulating 2,500 Personally Purchased Volume Points in 1 to 3 consecutive months, and earn a 42% discount year-round, as long as the annual requalification requirement is met.

2) 5K Supervisor Qualification

With this additional method to qualify as Supervisor, Distributors can now set their own pace toward qualification by accumulating 5,000 Personally Purchased Volume Points within 12 months, with a minimum of 3 months required.

3) Simplified Distributor Discount Scale

The simplified Distributor Discount Scale offers either a 35% or 42% discount for Senior Consultants who accumulate a minimum of 500 Volume Points in one volume month.

These enhancements are going to give more people the opportunity to get on track to even greater earnings. They offer opportunities to accelerate the 3 R’s – better Retailing, easier Recruiting and improved Retention.

========================

According to some seniors, for most companies…..whenever there’s change in policies, very seldom it is for the better…. But for Herbalife, the change in the marketing plan gets better each time…

Hope this allows more people to see this company at a bigger picture. Everyone can get to enjoy good discount level they deserve as a consumer yet reinforces the business ethics as distributors. And I certainly hope this will minimize the problems of consumers using other’s ID to purchase products or getting cheaper products from alternative sources, distributors anyhow give discounts to fight for business. It’s a STEALING behavior!

To all consumers and distributors: We are human beings…. we should do the right thing – respect and protect this company and those who are adding value to this world.

Herbalife – A treasure in my life

 “听到Herbalife是运气, 吃到是福气”

I recalled hearing this from an elderly I met during one of the trainings I attended. I completely agree. I’ve seen many people living a great life with it……..

For me, I think I would be struggling with my weight issue, always feeling tired and falling sick often for the rest of my life should I not met Herbalife. I love how I look and feel now.  For months, there are compliments from people I already know and newly met.

Please do not get me wrong. I’m not trying to boast but just expressing how amazingly Herbalife has helped me to look and feel better each day! It feels even great to share with people so they too can benefit from it.

Of course, not everyone says Yes to me. But it’s okay, it’s a blessing one can give to people around you. Herbalife does add value in life.

Of course, result does not happened suddenly and don’t expect miracle to happen overnight.  What I’m taking and using are NOT ELIXIR. It takes patience, understandings and cooperation to achieve great result. 

6 months on Herbalife products…… both inner and outer nutrition. Everything is simple and magical.

Thank you, Herbalife!

P.S: Herbalife has helped more than 65 millions of people…. I am just one of them. You can be one out of the millions too~

An awesome weekend – From Zero to Hero Season 3

This is my 2nd time attending “从零到无限”. It was a great weekend with awesome sharings, awesome party with 700 awesome people! It was like a mini Extravaganza! I am so glad to have made it for this event else I would have missed out so much! Here’s the video of the event.

Interesting experience - while queuing to get into the seminar, I was chatting with distributors whom I don’t know. They got so excited about my weight loss result and took turns to take pictures with me and “interviewed’ me. Mine is peanut if you ask me. LOL~ Applause to our products~

It was great to see Guang Han & Meiqing (my 20K 2-diamonds President Team Member from Taiwan) again.  It was a very brief encounter with them at Extravaganza in Korea in June and a short session with Mei Qing when she came here for “与总裁有约”last month. When I walked over to say hi to them, Mei Qing told Guang Han “这就是Chantel”. They have so many thousands of distributors under them. Being new and nobody, I really didn’t expect to be remembered. It is very heart-warming for me. Feels like family~

A catch up session with Guang Han & Mei Qing in their room before going for the party. Such opportunity is rare and really precious.

 

With Guang Han & Mei Qing

Guang Han’s training session covering “Legend of Mark Hughes” deeply touched my heart. There are/were controversies about Herbalife on the company, the products and even about Mark Hughes. Well, this is not uncommon for any other direct marking companies anyway! But, we have results that do not lie.

Guang Han’s sharing was very meaningful and it gave me a clearer understanding about Mark Hughes and Herbalife. I believe in Mark Hughes. I believe in Herbalife. I believe in Mark’s attitude and love towards life and his distributors, friends and family. Last by not least, I believe in what I see - the consumers and distributors, the leaders, the successful people and the product results.

A valuable footage

I can’t wait to attend 4th Season of From Zero to Hero in November. This time, it is opened to all distributors. So exciting! We are expecting 1-3k of people which means it will be a bigger party! Herbalife rocks!

From Zero to Hero @ Genting, 15-16 August

I’m thrilled! I can go Genting to attend “从零到无限”!

Obviously, I’m still quite a blur queen. I didn’t know I qualified for the training until I received a call from my sponsor telling me and asked if I would like to go so that she can help to make arrangement for me. Of course, I want to go! I heard about the speakers who are attending and my 20k President team Guang Han and Mei Qing will be there too!

I’m so looking forward to all the learnings that I can bring back to share with my clients and team.

My date with Taiwan President Team Member

I had two fruitful sessions on Tuesday & Thursday with my Taiwan President Team Members – Mei Qing & Jin Jia.

Tuesday was an exclusive session and it was my priviledge to spend the evening with Mei Qing & my sponsor’s team for about 3 hours. In Taiwan, the duration for a similar session is 1 hour and there will be pre-requisites for those who want to attend it. In this session, she attended to our problems and questions one by one. I like this upline’s sponsor of mine. She is genuine, amicable and definitely very capable.

The session on Thursday was opened to a bigger group. The number of people who attended was more than expected.

We were expecting 60 people but about 100 people came

With Jin Jia - This is my 2nd time hearing her talk. Love it as she is very fun and humourous

 

With Mei Qing - My 20k President Team. Someone whom I respect and admire

 

With Jia Jun - Millionaire Team Member, I find him a person with great personalities.

 

I look forward to the day of going holidays together

By the way, the black dress I was wearing has been kept in my cupboard for 5 years. Why? Because I couldn’t fit into it! But now, I can wear it again! Thank you, Herbalife!

从心出发 @ JB – 22 & 23 August 2009

Initially, I was planning to attend 从零到无限conference in Genting but realised there’s a requirement which I’m not qualified. I was disappointed but the news of a 2 days conference (从心出发) to be held in JB after 从零到无限 got me excited again!

1) Why Herbalife, why NOW?
2) How to work hard for a short period of time to enjoy better lifestyle for the rest of your life?
3) Why are they so successful? What are the techniques?
4) Testimonials – I’m very sure lots of them!

After attending a few events, regardless big or small, I must say nothing beats looking at Herbalife with your own eyes. All these events simply are the best places to seek for answers~

This would be one of the biggest events taking place so near us. I can’t wait to know who the speakers are!

5 eating strategies for a sleeker belly

Hmm~ can try!

===============

Researchers have found that women put on more fat around their midsection as they get older — and if you’re stressed, overweight or menopausal, your waistline is more likely to balloon. But that’s not to say a poochy tummy is inevitable with age: Couple cardio and core exercises with a sensible eating plan and you can stay trim and look fab, say health experts. With these belly-friendly diet tips, you’ll be empowered to beat the flab.

1. Up your fiber intake

A recent Danish study found that women who ate more fiber gained less weight with age, particularly around their middle, than women on low-fiber diets. So how much fiber should you aim to take? 25 to 30 grams a day, recommend experts. Good sources include fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.

2. Eat frequently

Stress causes weight gain because when you’re often anxious or feeling overwhelmed, your body produces stress hormones like cortisol, which encourages the storage of fat in the abdomen. Studies have shown that hunger can trigger the same effect and send cortisol in overdrive, leading to an expanding waistline. To keep your hunger under control, eat five or six smaller meals instead of three main meals.

3. Cut back on salt

Sodium causes your body to retain fluids. That’s why a diet high in sodium can result in a bloated stomach as well as raise your blood pressure. Stay away from high-sodium culprits such as processed and canned foods, and whenever possible add flavor to your foods with herbs and spices instead of salt.

4. Eat less fast food

Here’s yet another proof that fast food isn’t exactly the most diet-friendly food around: A study by the University of Minnesota found that people who ate fast food more than twice a week gained an extra 10 pounds over 15 years, compared with people who ate fast food less than once a week. Fast foods are notoriously high in saturated fat and sodium, which not only lead to weight gain, but also elevate your risks of health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.

5. Cut back on refined carbs

According to recent findings published by the American Journal of Epidemiology, it’s not the amount, but the kind of carbohydrates you consume, that triggers weight gain. Contrary to popular belief, overweight people don’t eat more carbs than normal-weight individuals, but nutrition researchers found that they are more inclined to eat an excess of refined carbs.

Refined carbohydrates are, for example, those found in sugar, white bread, white rice, white bread, pasta and cereals. Meals and snacks that are laden with refined carbs have a high glycemic index, meaning they quickly break down into sugar, causing insulin levels to skyrocket and blood sugar to spike. If this blood sugar is not used by the body, it is stored as fat.

Replace refined carbs with unrefined carbs (wholemeal bread, whole wheat pasta, oats, veggies) and protein (lean meat) in your diet — these nutrients break down more slowly, so you’ll stay fuller for longer.

Event: Singapore STS, 25 July 2009

Here’s another great event~

Event: JB STS on 12 July

Happy! My parents are going with me! And glad that they are willing to go to learn more  about health and nutition and why the products they are taking now (Yes!!! They are taking the products! ) can help them to have better health and energy. Listen directly from the experienced people will give them a clearer picture than me explaining to them.

Next 90 days

Beginning of another 90 days, I have 2 goals….. Change pin and attend World Team School in Taiwan. As told by Guillermo at APEX 2009 in Korea, “First 10″ are the most difficult. But, I will not disqualify myself without even trying. I will hold on to my faith and maintain a good attitude towards learning.

Extravaganza @ Korea – Simply Wonderful!

I was in Korea from 18 – 22 June. 3 out of 5 days were entirely for Extravangaza and I am glad I went!

First night was brought to a close by an amazing Herbalife Idol Contest and Concert in support of the Herbalife Family Foundation. A memorable night of fun and fund-raising.

2nd day started on serious training for me. The feeling in the room was absolutely incredible as more than 14,000 Asia Pacific Distributors caming together to celebrate Herbalife amidst a backdrop of the beautiful seasons of change. Incredible host of speakers and MCs reinforcing the event theme “Proven. Powerful. Now is the time.”

Last day was the close of yet another wonderful Herbalife event. The celebrations, recognition and were inspirational as the 2009 Extravaganza concluded for another year.

This is my 1st time attending such big event. It was quite an experience. Boo~ But holiday was too short though! And I got no time to do shopping! BUT, I bought a lot of Herbalife stuff!

First time my luggage was not filled with clothes, shoes, bags!

My favorite of all!! And it looks fabulous on me! hehehehe~

More Pictures~

我想走出去找路，不想继续享受贫穷了。所谓的贫穷不但只是钱财方面。。。

Tae Ho & Hyun Mo Kim – Two of the first distributors in Korea

Here is another couple in Herbalife who caught my attention during the Asia Pacific Extravaganza in Korea. They are the Chairman’s Club Members – Tae Ho Kim & Hyun Mo Koo

They were knee-deep in debt from their defunct dairy business when they were introduced to Herbalife. A former dairy farmer, Tae Ho Kim was struggling to supplement his family’s income by selling medication for animals, while his wife, Hyun Mo Koo, suffered from declining health. After Hyun Mo required major surgery, she was unable to continue her job as a social worker. Fortunately, it was around this time that a friend from the USA introduced the Korean couple to Herbalife.

At first, Hyun Mo was interested in Herbalife as a consumer. She gained much-needed weight and her health began to return. Tae Ho tried some of the weight-loss products and he had great results, too. That’s when the couple became interested in the business and began working as a team. They left Korea for the United States–without speaking a word of English and with hardly any money. When Herbalife opened in Korea in 1996, they moved back to their homeland, where they currently live.

Completely committed to the products and the Company, Tae Ho and Hyun Mo qualified for the President’s Team within a year, and soon their lifestyle changed dramatically. But the change wasn’t only economic. “We feel and look much younger now than we did six years ago,” Tae Ho declares. “Herbalife not only gave us our health back, but also freedom in our lives. I strongly believe that the future is bright for all the Herbalife family.”

During a training by them, they did something that deeply touched my heart. They wore the magician hats and brought out a box telling us that the secret of their success is in the magic box and they said they will show us what is it. We stared at them and the box with anticipation. Finally, they opened the box and pulled out a super long string of event passes. Those were all the events and trainings they have attended for the past many years. Gosh! It was really a lot events they went! Many people including myself broke down into tears when we saw this scene. Indeed, there is no short cut to anywhere worth going. If you want success, you need to work for it and never stopped learning. All the events and trainings are where we improve and empower ourselves. But very often we give ourselves many excuses why we can’t go for this or that event. Maybe sometimes things are really not within our control. Whatever it is, it’s our future… we have to decide what we need to do to get there.

“Can I do it” vs “Will I do it”
Which one do you think bring you to success?

New Chairman’s Club Members (Korea): Dong Keun Chung & Young Hyang Park

I’m back from 2009 Asia Pacific Extravaganza!!!! I had great fun and brought home with me a lot of thoughts and learning.

One of the speakers who left a deep impression in me was Dong Keun Chung. I saw him fighting his tears while he was speaking. He is strong….. but I can’t hold my tears.

He was born in a poor family. He told himself that when he grew up and has his own family, he will not let his family live in poverty like him. Since then he had a dream to live a wealthier life. In seeking his dream, he failed 16 times in his businesses. He joined various direct marketing companies but failed even he had worked very hard. He never gave up because he believes as long as he continues to work hard, he will find a good one. At one point of time, he wanted to end his life because he felt life was meaningless. He worked so hard yet all he got in return were failures. He gave up the thought of dying because of his family.

He came to know Herbalife through Chairman’s Club members Hyun Mo Koo and Tae Ho Kim. He accepted their invitation to learn more about Herbalife after rejecting them 4 times and he is grateful that they never gave up on him.

He made it to Chairman Club due to following reasons:

• Always think HBL business is easy
• Have a desperate desire to have better life
• Never stopped to believe in HBL and his sponsor
• Do not make excuses, always say yes
• See failure as the foundation to success
• Understand the value of HBL. The returns are huge, its not just the money
• He told his sponsor that he will give up all his hobbies to set his goal to become chairman club member within 2 years

He made it! He now earns 100 million won every month.

Do you also have a dream?

===================================================

Dong Keun Chung & Young Hyang Park – the new Chairman Club Members in Korea – May 2009

Ever since he can remember, Dong Keun Chung was on a mission to succeed.

Familiar with direct-selling opportunities, he tried several such businesses; however, despite his positive approach, all of his attempts failed and he ultimately fell into despair. That’s when Herbalife suddenly entered Chung’s life. Upon meeting Chairman’s Club members Hyun Mo Koo and Tae Ho Kim, he felt at once that Herbalife was quite different from what he had experienced in the past, and decided to give it a chance.

Chung started working his Herbalife business full time on April 1, 1998, when he qualified for Supervisor. But he still had debts to pay, which forced him to exert his energy to the fullest. “I think being faithful to the basics was the best strategy,” he says. “Moreover, I never missed any meetings or trainings. And that led to good results.” A mere one year after he made Supervisor and dedicated himself full time to the Herbalife business opportunity, Chung made President’s Team and was able to clear his debts.

But that was just the beginning! In 2004, with business continuing to skyrocket, his wife Young Hyang Park joined him in the effort. Then, after visiting a Nutrition Club in Mexico in February 2007, Chung was convinced that adopting such a Business Method in Korea could lead to even more success in his native land. He hesitated at first, noting things work differently in Korea; but after contemplating for six months, he opened a Nutrition Club in Busan and expanded from there. Finally, on August 1, 2007, Chung made a strong commitment to himself to cease all leisure activities, including golf, and focus 110% on the Herbalife business opportunity until he reached Chairman’s Club.

Now he and his wife have truly accomplished their dreams. “I’d like for people to know that Herbalife is the best direct-selling company in the world, with quality products and a superior compensation structure,” says Chung. “Herbalife changes lives and helps people achieve all they’ve ever wanted. I’d like to thank Mark Hughes and my Sponsor for granting me this amazing opportunity.”

My Before and After

After losing 7kg, I have put myself on a maintenance programme to shape up. I will be continuing my weight loss programme once I’m back from holiday! Keeping in shape is simple and easy with Herbalife!

My first Herbalife cheque

I’ve got my 1st cheque from Herbalife for my International earnings last month. It wasn’t a significant amount of money but it does serve as a reward and the motivation in working towards my dreams.

I chanced upon the above picture of the Bonus Cheque awarded to International Chairman’s club member – Doran Andry during 2008 Mark Hughes Bonus Awards Night. This amount he received was only his 1% bonus. And guess what? He donated the money to Charity.

Is having One Million dollars beyond your imagination?
It is not about the money, but what you can do with it.

Herbalife gives possibilities, hopes & growth. It’s like an ocean, it’s our choice of using a spoon or bucket to scoop what we want.
