The Roadshow was a tremendous success across Canada and the United States.  Special guests and corporate guests appeared in Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Red Deer, Vancouver, West Palm and Boston.

People left absolutely inspired.

Just read what Gold Consultant, Richard McCurdy had to say in an email he sent to JP Trottier, it really sums up the energy:

Hi JP,

It’s me Richard, in the middle of this picture!

Do you know why I am smiling?

It should be quite obvious…!!!

I smiling because I am standing between two of the fastest and beautiful female Olympic sprinters Phylicia George and Nikkita Holder from the Canadian Olympic Team.  Also pictured is Justin Warner and Olympic track coach Desai Williams.  All athletes and the coach state that they “could not have come this far without the products of Immunotec specifically Immunocal, Vitamin pack, Probiotic and the Cherry.  Wow…!!! They stated this emphatically…”I have the tape…”

This event was a tremendous success with approx.. 200 people in attendance.  I can’t stop talking about it with my down line.  I am excited for those attending the upcoming shows.

The momentum generated and created by the new tools unveiled, such as the new products catalogue is and will be tremendous.  I am even more excited than Foster Owusu.

And just when you thought the event couldn’t get any better, the “tag-team” of John Molson and, the incredible Dr. Jimmy Gutman, blow us all out of the water by detailing the new ground-breaking and visionary research that Immunotec and its partners are embarking on.

I encourage all Immunotec product users and Consultants to MAKE TIME to be in attendance at your upcoming events across Canada.  Our down line in Vancouver have already signed up.

All the best on the road JP.  Richard McCurdy, firefighter/Immunotec Consultant, Ontario.

THE NEW BUSINESS GUIDE IS NOW IN YOUR BUSINESS CENTER

We are pleased to inform you that the updated version of the Immunotec Business Guide is now in your Business Center. This updated Business Guide has replaced the current guide.

The guide has been updated in order to clearly document the rules of business that act to both protect and support all our Consultants in their business dealings.

Some highlights that you will want to review are:

• Section 5.01 Use of Online Media. This section includes the guidelines for social networking.
• Section 6 Being an Ethical Sponsor
• Section 6.09 Responsibilities to your Downline Organization

We invite you to take the time to read through the Business Guide (click here) and should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Service.

The product catalogue is a beautiful display of our full range of products. Small and compact, it is easy to carry in your pocket or purse insuring that you are always prepared to meet new customers!

Each product page includes in-depth product descriptions, product benefits, a daily usage chart, the product code number, the content of the product container or package, the retail pricing and the 20% saving price (for ImmunoDirect Customers). There is also a Health Directory chart and important Immunotec Milestones section included in the catalogue. (5 catalogues per package) Find it in your Business Center under Tools.

The new Product Catalogue is a huge hit with all our Consultants. We are hearing that the Catalogue is working hard for you!

Just ask Consultant, Marie Jacqueline Clément who recently wrote to JP Trottier “I went to see a Consultant, a customer was with her, I showed her our new Product Catalogue and
she ordered the Probiotic on the spot!………I had to send a letter to a business where I had previously worked, so I inserted our new Product Catalogue along with the letter. The Product Catalogue can speak for me even when I am not present…..I am really excited….it is a great tool!”

Thank you for the endorsement, Marie Jacqueline!

Most of us know it’s a good idea to eat well, exercise and get a good night’s sleep. We might also know that it’s a good idea to take some vitamins and minerals.

But if you are seeking a way to give your body an extra edge in a world where we are constantly bombarded with environmental stressors, then supporting your immune system is key. And typical vitamin and mineral supplements aren’t enough to do the job. Taking Immunocal on a regular basis will give you more control over your health, vitality and well-being.

Take a look on this Immuno Byte and learn “What does Immunocal do“.

We are pleased to announce the official launch of Knutric in the US market on July 1^st, 2012.  Knutric has been sold successfully in Mexico for several years and has just now been approved by the FDA to be sold in the US.*

Knutric is a unique food supplement prepared by special process from acombination of six minerals and fifteen traditional herbs.  It serves as a generalhealth tonic.

GOOD NEWS!
Knutric helps the body recover; it favors the neutralization of toxins as well as energy maintenance and replenishment for a better physical and mental performance.

THE KEY TO GOOD HEALTH:
Mineral and herbal formula that combines ancient knowledge and the latest scientific
research about nutrients found in minerals and plant extracts in order to provide vital energy to every member of your family.

BENEFITS:
Minerals are essential for the proper functioning of our body, which is unable to produce any on its own.For this reason, the human body needs to obtain minerals from the foods we consume every day.

Some of these minerals are necessary in large quantities, such as is the case with
macrominerals. These types of minerals can be found in large quantities in the body and thus we must also ingest them in large quantities (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium).

For their part, microminerals are found in small quantities because the body needs less of them (iron, iodine).

Changing the way we do business… grow your customer base!

Comments on New Customer Program from Jim Spencer, Platinum Consultant:

This new program, along with the new ImmunoDirect Program for customers is just what we need to jumpstart our sales at every level of our organizations! When you think about it, we now have the ability to offer 1997 prices once again to our customers. When the Customers receive a box a month for three months, they now get a free box of Immunocal! This will average out the cost to about $59.00*, less than $2* per day!

Our main demographic for customers are the Baby-Boomers. With the new 20% commission going into effect on July 1^st, just 4 new customers ordering a box of Immunocal and a box of Platinum will deliver a $150* check to the Consultant sponsoring them. This means that Consultants can cover their cost for their own product by just getting 4 new customers in July and August. Just four!

It gets better… If a Gold Consultant has each member of their team sponsor, on average, one new customer in July and one in August they will triple their income in two months.

The same applies for Diamonds and Executive Diamonds. Who wants to triple their income!!

So get the word out and get everyone looking for customers in July and August. We want this program to continue indefinitely! Thank you Immunotec for reintroducing this program again!

At the 2012 Las Vegas Convention in March, we introduced a series of new and improved tools that every new Consultant will receive in their Starter Pack (called Brochure Pack) and every established Consultant has access to purchasing.

There are four new and improved tools:

1.  New:  A recruiting flyer which is a 3-fold full-color promotional flyer that is used as a “leave-with” flyer.  It summarizes our product line with a special focus on Immunocal, speaks to our credibility with information on the science behind our products and promotes the business attached to it, emphasizing the rewards that can be achieved.  This flyer is packaged in packs of 100 and is available in the Business Center for only $15/pack.
2.  New:  A high-quality magazine called “Lifestyle” which is a 16‑page full-color magazine that can be “loaned” to prospects who are considering the Immunotec opportunity but want more information.  This magazine is packaged in packs of 20 and is available in the Business Center for only $15/pack.
3.  Improved:  The Immunocal 4-page brochure has been updated to ensure that it is easy to read and easy to explain the benefits of Immunocal.  It is a very important tool that assists all Consultants in explaining how Immunocal optimizes the immune system, what makes it special, the 4 key benefits and the results of daily use.  This brochure is packaged in packs of 50 and is available in the Business Center for only $15/pack.
4. Improved:  The Immunotec Compensation Plan brochure is the fourth piece that is critical in completing your prospecting and recruiting tool kit.   It has also been updated to reflect the exceptional opportunity a Consultant can have to help people improve their health and quality of life.  It is a comprehensive brochure that gives a visual explanation on the 6 ways to win with Immunotec.  This brochure is packaged in packs of 50 and is available in the Business Center for only $15/pack.

Your prospecting and recruiting tool kit is full with new and improved tools.  But, wait, how do you maximize the use of these tools?  How do you make them work hard for you?  Let’s take a look at the first tool today, the recruiting flyer, and discuss how you can use it most effectively.

First of all, remember every time you order a pack, you will receive 100 flyers. 100 flyers equal 100 conversations!  Do not let your recruiting flyers sit on your desk at home!  Keep the flyers with you at all times because you want to be speaking to everyone you encounter in your day and evening about the amazing Immunotec opportunity. But first, make sure you have put your contact information on the back of each flyer.   Designate a number of flyers per day that you must put into a warm hand.  In other words, you might set a goal that you want to talk to five new people a day.  Count out five flyers and make sure the day does not end without you having five conversations and giving out five flyers.

But, it does not stop there.  Each day that you give out five flyers, you have now met five people with five names and five telephone numbers.  Follow-up within 2 days. At that point, you will establish whose interest you have tweaked and now it is time to loan the Lifestyle magazine or better, it could be time to sit-down with the Immunocal and Compensation plan brochures. (But that is subject for our next blogs).

For now, let us just focus on the value of the recruiting flyer.  We want to hear from you.  Sharing “best practices” is the best way to spread success.

So, remember, make the flyers work hard for you.  Never leave a bunch of flyers with the hope that someone “might” pick it up.  Put it in a warm hand with the promise that you will follow-up.

So, what experiences have you had with the new recruiting flyer? We want to hear from you. Tell us about your best practices.  And, if you have pictures of places where you are using your flyer, send them too! The best suggestion will be awarded with a pack of flyers because if your flyers are working hard for you, you will be running out of them and you will need more!!
