ATTENTION All FGXpress Affiliates (Everyone please read)
We have hundreds and soon thousands of new Affiliates joining each month, and we want to provide each of them with the greatest opportunity to success in their new business. To do so it important we conduct our business in a manner that produces the best results both short, and long term as well as start all of our new affiliates right from the beginning.
One way to insure this happens is to make sure that Every new Affiliate that goes into the computer is set-up on auto-ship immediately. There should be NO EXCEPTIONS to this. If an Affiliate chooses to change, or cancel their auto-ship they have a full 4 weeks to do so. It is our responsibility to set them up right to start with, and if they decide to go off auto-ship at a later date, and get paid less, or give up all their bonuses, and volume they can. As sponsor we have an obligation to help our people be successful, and be truthful to them from the beginning.
HOW TO SET UP AUTO SHIP: If you are a new Affiliate, and are not currently set up for auto-ship, you need to log into your FG Xpress, Back Office NOW and do so.You can do this by clicking on Autoship then click NEW AUTOSHIP, and select the product you want to receive each month. It is important that EVERYONE be on at least $120 (100 pts) auto-ship to maximize the full pay out of the comp plan.
Understanding the Importance of Auto Ship
Most people get into network marketing because they want Long Term Re-occurring Income (residual income – sell it once, get paid forever). We must all understand the ONLY way to obtain this type of income is to have Affiliates, and customers on autoship. The more people on autoship, the bigger, and more secure the income. This is what is referred to as “Come Back Volume”. The key to long term success is to have as much “Come Back Volume” as possible, as well as grow the Come Back Volume EVERY week, and EVERY month. Anything that is not Come Back Volume is JOB volume. It’s like working a job, no residual; you have to keep working hard to replace it every month. This obviously gets old, and tiresome and causes Affiliates to quit. Think about it; if you’re going to get paid like a job, and not make residual income, you may as well just go get one, right? So to build a long term, secure, profitable business it is important that every Affiliate understands the importance of auto-ship, and takes ownership of it in THEIR OWN BUSINESS. Every network marketing company has a Personal Volume requirement. You cannot have a business benefit (commissions from those below you) without personally conducting business each month. Personal Volume is YOUR auto-ship.
So what happens if you don't fulfill the monthly Personal Volume requirement?
You will lose ALL present, and future commissions, and ALL stored Business Volume.
IMPORTANT!!!! Also, be aware that to remain qualified in the compensation plan at 1 Star, or higher, and to keep your downline volume from flushing, you must have a personally sponsored Active Affiliate (on auto-ship) in each leg (your right, and left team). If the people you sponsor are not on auto-ship, then it is very unlikely that they will stay active, therefore they will keep you from being qualified, causing you to lose all your commission, and causing ALL your Come Back Volume as well as new volume to flush.
If all of this sounds complicated, and hard to grasp, DON'T WORRY ~ it's easy to understand.
Just remember that ALL PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS are satisfied if you put yourself, and EVERY Affiliate you enroll on $120 (2 pack of PowerStrips) personal monthly auto-ship.
Frequently Asked Questions, and Objections
What do I do if my prospect wants to enroll in the business but doesn't want to do auto-ship?Simply explain to them that it's no big deal ~ it's not going to be shipped for 4 weeks, and that they have total control over it. They can reduce it, increase it, cancel it, or change it at any time. Tell them that this is what you, and everyone does. It's like insurance to protect your business & income, and to make sure they are qualified to receive all their commissions, and their volume doesn't flush. You wouldn't by an expensive home, and not insure it, why would you build a successful business, and a large income, and not insure it? You may want to question their commitment, and if you really want to enroll them if they are unwilling to go on autoship ~ it's that important. NOTE: If you're nervous about asking them to be on auto-ship, then they'll be nervous about doing it. If you believe that everybody should be on auto-ship, your new Affiliates will feel they should too.
What is my Prospect says they don’t like, or believe in being billed monthly? Ask them if the have electricity, gas, water, internet, or cable at home, or a cell phone on them. They will obviously say yes. Then jokingly say to them “your reconnection fees must be horrendous, since you only order, and pay for each of those services one month at a time”. EVERYONE is on multiple auto-ships a month that cost us money but with FG Xpress unlike your electric, gas, water, internet cable, and cell phone bill it doesn’t end up costing you money, in FG Xpress you get paid to be on auto-ship when referring others.
What if they want to experience results on the products before they start the business? To get the maximum results on any nutritional products, (which is basically what the PowerStrips are) people need to use them consistently for 90 days. If they are going to give them a real test, they can't afford to run out, and be inconsistent. The only smart & serious way to test the PowerStrips for their full potential, and value is to be on auto-ship for at least 90 days.
What if someone has no interest in the business, but just wants to be a customer so they can buy the products at wholesale? Everyone wants to buy at the best price they can, but along with privilege comes responsibility. If you join a Sam's Wholesale Club, or Costco, you must first pay a fee, and then agree to follow the company's terms, and conditions. At FG Xpress, we welcome those who only want to use the product, and be a customer. As a matter of fact we are ALL, customers FIRST, and affiliates second. Therefore FG Xpress allows everyone to pay a one time, $12 Affiliate fee, and buy products as a wholesale customer from that point forward. The reason FG Xpress is willing to give all customers the wholesale price is because the auto-ship program that allows PowerStrips orders to be scheduled, and pre-packed in advance, and delivered on time every month like clock work. This saves the company money logistically, and saves our customers time by not having to call in, or place single orders each money. It's a win, win, for everyone.
Will Affiliates/Customers stay on the products longer if they're on auto-ship? YES ~ Absolutely. Statistics show us this time, and time again. If you care about your people's long term health, get them on auto-ship. NOTE: We have leaders that were in companies in the past that still receive nice residual income checks from products sold to people, who were placed on autoship over ten years ago. Every one of those ten year product buyers is on auto-ship ~ not a single one of their non-auto-ship product buyers lasted more than a year or so.
My prospect says they can't afford to be on auto-ship. I'm sorry, but I cannot accept this excuse. If they can't afford to buy the product next month, then why are they buying it this month? What they really mean when they say this is that they don't know if they'll WANT to buy the product next month. Remember, they need to be on the product for 90 days to get the full effects, and they have total control of their auto-ship ~ they can cancel it at any time. The fact is, when they have the results they'll find room in their monthly budget. Secondly; ALL their auto-ship order counts as Personal Volume. This is pretty simple to figure out. Put 2 packs of PowerStrips auto-ship, and you/they have 4 weeks to get a customer or two to buy them. In other words, GET COMMITED. Commit to buying 2 packs of PowerStrips EVERY month to use, sell, show, or sample. REMEMBER: You have to have a $120 (2 packs of PowerStrips) personal auto-ship to max out the comp plan, and get ALL commissions in FULL.
If you can’t afford it, sell it. JUST DO IT!!!! But no matter how you do it, be smart enough to have 2 Packs of PowerStrips on autoship.
Why do you recommend putting two packs of PowerStrips on auto-ship, instead of one? First, and for most is the additional commissions you earn, and secondly so you don't run out, and have to remember to re-order every month. Two packs of PowerStrips provides for your personal use, and gives you extra to sell or to sample to grow your business. Selling these extra pack can pay for part of your auto-ship. PowerStrips are an 'Impact Product" for most people. They are easy to sell, and people love the results. It is much easier to get customers if you have a pack that you can physically put in their hands. Sign them up as an Affiliate, and then, of course, put them on auto-ship. One of the worst things that can ever happen to you is to have an immediate need for extra products but not have them on hand. This could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost commissions due to being unable to get the big fish into your business because you were unprepared, and unwilling to keep a little extra product on hand.
I'm not on auto-ship and/or I've already enrolled some Affiliates, and didn't put them on auto-ship ~ is it really that important? YES. Your are the LEADER of your team, if you're not on auto-ship, your Affiliates/downline won't get on, or stay on it. Duplicating poor choices gets ZERO commissions. We are a team, the stronger the team, the more profitable all members of the team are. Your sponsor will be counting on you to stay active, and you will be counting on your people to stay active so that you can stay qualified (and not flush volume, and commissions). But more importantly, we are on a mission to take PowerStrips to the world, and improve the quality of life of millions of people. We also want to empower a great number of people to financial success and better lifestyles. Auto-ship is the glue that builds strong organizations. By living the example of being on auto-ship, and putting everyone you enroll on auto-ship, you can build a significant residual income. With no auto-ship, there is no real residual income. GET ON AUTO-SHIP TODAY,and call everyone in your group that's not on auto-ship, get them on a 2 pack of PowerStrips ~ once they understand it; they'll thank you for it.
How can I tell who in my group was signed up with auto-ship? There is a great report in your back office that gives this information. From your Back Office, click on Enrollment Tree, and Placement Tree. Once you click these, you will see your name above your detail on the left side, it will say under Qualifications if you are on Autoship or not. Then you duct click on the names of other Affiliates in your downline and check their status. This is very useful in making sure you have a qualified Affiliate on your left, and right to keep your volume (money) from flushing, and also to make sure your downlines volume doesn’t flush.
Hopefully you've found this helpful. Please check your teams and make sure everyone uses Auto Ship. You'll be glad you did.
