GET STARTED CORRECTLY

This checklist is designed to help you get started correctly building a successful business with FGXPRESS. 1. Become an FGXPRESS Member and place an appropriate Start-Up Order consistent with your goals.

Before you can start building a business with FGXPRESS, you must first become an FGXPRESS Member. (A Customer is a product user only. A Member is one interested in using products and building a business. In this training, we use the terms Customer and Member.) The membership kit is $12 U.S. and includes your online business center and a replicated website that you can use to enroll others. Your sponsor can assist you with the enrollment process.

Place your start-up order. (The FGXPRESS 10 Pack or higher is the suggested

enrollment package for those wanting to get off to a fast start.) Double (2) Pack: U.S. $139.95 + membership + tax & shipping

10 Pack: U.S. $499 + membership + tax & shipping (save $100) 20 Pack: U.S. $998 + membership + tax & shipping (save $200) 30 Pack: U.S. $1,497 + membership + tax & shipping (save $300) 40 Pack: U.S. $1,996 + membership + tax & shipping (save $400)

Before you determine which level you should enter to launch your business, it is important to understand why you need to purchase products.

Here are four reasons to consider:

• To experience the products. Using the products will not only increase your

knowledge about the products, but it will also build your belief and confidence as well.

• To keep a small, working inventory to sample and to have on hand for your new or existing customers. Although it is not required to inventory products and we don’t recommend you have too much on hand, there is no doubt you will sell more products and provide better customer service if you have a small inventory on hand. (There’s an old saying, “It’s hard to sell from an empty cart.”)

STEP 1

7

• To help your new Members get started quickly. When you enroll a new Member in your local area, send them home with product to use until their first order arrives. This will allow them to get off to a fast start.

• To qualify to start earning commissions and bonuses. Be sure to review the FGXPRESS Compensation Plan to learn what you need to do to start earning commissions as soon as possible and what it takes to become a leader with FGXPRESS. Each level qualifies you for different commissions and bonuses in the plan. Download a copy of the FGXPRESS Compensation Plan at www.FGXPRESS.com

2. Use the Products. Set up an appropriate Autoship: 50 QV minimum, 100 QV to fully maximize the compensation plan.

q The FGXPRESS Autoship is a convenient way for you to receive the FGXPRESS

products you want each month. These are products for you and your family to use and to share with others. Understand the difference between the “minimum” and the “appropriate” Autoship. (It needs to be appropriate for your family’s product needs and your business goals.)

There are several reasons to enroll in the FGXPRESS Autoship program and

several things that will determine what is appropriate for you.

• To make sure you have the products each month that can improve your health, the health of your family, and to share/sample with others.

• To earn money with the FGXPRESS Compensation Plan. If your

personal volume is at least 50 QV, you will be considered active for some of the plan, 100 QV qualifies you for the maximum amount of each part of the plan.

• To set the example for those who join your organization. When you get

others started in the business, they will likely ask, “What products do you get with your monthly Autoship, or what do you recommend?” If you do not enroll in the program, you cannot expect others to enroll.

• As you look at the power of geometric growth and consider everyone

having at least 100 QV or more, you will see the clear advantages of making sure that you lead by example. What size order do you want duplicated in your organization?

• Your Autoship can be changed or modified as often as you like. You

decide the date that your order will be shipped.

3. Become familiar with and acquire your business building tools; audios, videos and documents (online and offline). Review available presentation and training tools and upcoming FGXPRESS events.

o CDs and DVDs (for prospecting, Grand Openings & training) o Business cards, personal stickers for tools & product samples. o Websites: _________________________________________________ o Weekly evening trainings: _____________________________________ o Live Conference Calls: ________________________________________ o Phone numbers for 24/7 overview calls: ___________________________ o Local FGXPRESS Events: _____________________________________ o Online presentations/trainings:_________________________________ o Product training web conferences: ______________________________ o FGXPRESS Regional events: ___________________________________ o FGXPRESS Annual Convention:_________________________________

Additional tools: Visit www.FGXPRESS.com and go to the “Events” tab for company-wide events.

After you enroll as an FGXPRESS Member, you can log in to the backoffice of

your personal replicated website with your username and password to access your business center. Your replicated website is a powerful tool packed with information and training resources that make it easy and convenient for you to leverage the best of what the Internet can offer you as a business builder with FGXPRESS.

You can set up your website to help you in establishing and growing your business. Your potential customers and potential business partners can go to your site to learn more about the FGXPRESS business and products. They can also enroll in your business as a Member or as a Customer directly from your web site.

4. Schedule a New Member Orientation with your Sponsor in the first 48 hours. Approximately an hour will be needed to review the “Getting Started Correctly” checklist. Schedule your Grand Opening to occur in your first 7-10 days.

Set a time within the next 48 hours to meet (either in person or on the telephone) with your Sponsor to map out a plan to accomplish your goals.

Putting together your 30-day business plan with your Sponsor is essential because it will clearly outline what you will do each day as you start building your business. Having the will to win is not enough; you must have a plan to win. If you can, sit down face-to-face with your Sponsor and put together a 30-day plan that you are committed to follow as you begin building your business. After your first 30 days, you will want to refine your plan for the next 30 days, and so on. The key to making your plan work is to be doing something every day that will take you closer to the accomplishment of your goals.

The following points should be discussed with your Sponsor when putting together your 30-day plan:

• Schedule your Grand Opening. • What is your plan to introduce the products and business to your

potential customers and potential business partners? Will you lead with the products, the business, or both? (Review this entire training system for some options.)

• Are you willing to commit to starting with a Major Blast (contacting the top 50 to 100+ people that you’d like to share FGXPRESS with during your first 7 to10 days) and then making at least 2 or more contacts a day for the first 30 days? If so, set your goals and track your results.

Set up a schedule to talk often with your Sponsor or upline mentor for the first couple

of weeks. As you get started, it is very important that your questions are being answered, that your plan is working, and that you are having positive results. Through these regular conversations, your Sponsor can help you stay on track. Discuss what you would like your Sponsor to do if you should get off track. Leaders on your team are willing to help you, but you need to initiate the calls.

Find out when your team holds their weekly events (online or in person).

5. Go through your database of contacts and begin identifying those with whom you will share the FGXPRESS products and business. Launch your business with a Major Blast ASAP.

As you prepare to get started, think of everyone you know. Whose life do you want

to impact in a positive way with our products and our business? Those new to our profession often ask, “Do I have to talk to all my family and

friends?” Response: “Well, if you truly believe you have life changing products and a business that could impact their life in a positive way, why in the world would you not want to share this with those you care about most?”

Do not think about who would be interested and who would not; give everyone the opportunity to learn about FGXPRESS. Take some quiet time and be creative. Imagine you are being paid $1,000 for every person you list.

As you think of new names and meet new people, continue to add them to your database. Begin collecting the E-mail address and phone number of people you meet on a regular basis. Your database should be living and growing constantly.

You can start your business fast or slow. A slow start can be frustrating and

discouraging. A fast start is the best start.

Visualize the launch of a rocket ship. More energy (fuel) is spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel than will be used orbiting millions of miles in space.

If you want a fast start in your FGXPRESS business, participate in what we call a

Major Blast. This is where you share the FGXPRESS story with 50 to 100+ people as quickly as possible. (We’ll explain the best ways to do this in Step 2). 6. Understand the importance of using 3-way calling on your phone and the use of online conferencing (Skype, Google Hangouts, and others). Complete the Upline information sheet.

Three-way calling is a critical tool for new Members. Introduce those who have reviewed FGXPRESS to another Team Leader. This allows you to get help from someone with experience in overcoming objections, answering questions and getting people started in the business.

Skype, Google Hangouts and other internet products are free or inexpensive tools

for conferencing long distance or internationally. A basic headset with microphone may be needed if you don’t have a built in microphone and speakers on your computer.

11

This is a very simple business. Not easy, but simple. (Most things in life that are worthwhile are not easy.) However, if you master the correct actions, you can be very successful. Best of all, you have many business partners you can request assistance from as you build your business. Your Sponsor, his/her Sponsor and others have a vested interest in your success, as does the company.

UPLINE INFORMATION SHEET

Your upline leadership team can play a key role in your early success if you know who they are, how they can help you, and you make it known to them that you are serious about your success. Whether you are working the business part-time or full-time, make it clear what you want to accomplish with FGXPRESS. List a few of your FGXPRESS business partners and their contact information here for future reference:

1. Name: ___________________ Phone: ____________________

Email: _____________________

7. Get plugged in! Communication and current information are critical in this business. “Like” Facebook.com/ForeverGreenLeadershipGroup (team page) and Facebook.com/FGXPRESS (corporate page) for the most current updates.

Subscribe to regular email updates from your team and corporate. Also “Like” the FGXPRESS Official Fan Page on Facebook (https://www.Facebook.com/FGXPRESS) and our team page (https://www.Facebook.com/ForeverGreenLeadershipGroup) for new videos, events, training, announcements and more.

Find out when your team holds their weekly events (online or in person).

8. Put your goals in writing. (Goal setting worksheet included.) Deliver a copy of these goals to your sponsor and team leaders. Get to 1 Star ASAP!

Before embarking on your new business venture, we encourage you to take the time

to put your goals in writing. It has been proven through countless studies that if you have written down clearly defined goals you are more likely to reach them than if they are just in your head. This step is also important so that your Sponsor and other leaders will clearly understand your goals. If they understand your goals, they will be more successful in guiding you on the right path. Begin with the end in mind. Take time now to complete the Goal Setting Worksheet in this training.

9. Participate in Daily Personal Development. Make an unconditional commitment to succeed. Do the right thing at all times.

Determine now that you will take time daily to devote towards Personal

Development. That could be reading or listening to audio programs/books. This could be the single most important activity you do each day that will bring you closer to your goals in all areas of your life: physical, spiritual, mental and social/emotional.

The Leadership team will recommend one book each month to read that will help you in becoming a better FGXPRESS leader and a better person in other areas of your life. Be sure to read the Book of the Month each month along with others you choose.

13

As you begin building your FGXPRESS business, you need to determine what level

of commitment you are going to make to your business. Like most things in life, the level of commitment you make to whatever you do will determine your success and enjoyment. As you look back on some of your greatest accomplishments, you will likely see that in each activity or project you were committed to what you were doing. Realize that the first six months are a learning experience and that this is a two to four year plan.

There are no roads to success free from challenges and obstacles. Your road to

success in starting your new FGXPRESS business will be no different. Those who succeed are simply those people who are the most committed to succeeding and who do not quit when they encounter unexpected obstacles. Make the commitment today that you will do whatever it takes to succeed.

It is also important to set aside the appropriate amount of time each day, which is

consistent with your goals, in order to commit to building your business. (Refer to the Goal Setting Worksheet in this booklet). Evaluate your daily activities and set aside blocks of time that you will devote to building your business. This could be 15 minutes or several hours each day. Please understand that working your business 12 hours in one day is not the same as working 2 hours, 6 days a week. That would be similar to feasting one day a week and fasting the rest. Or exercising at the gym for 4 to 6 hours on a Saturday, and not returning until next Saturday.

You cannot treat this business as a hobby; if you do, it will cost you money as most

hobbies do. Treat it like a business whether you are working your business part-time or full-time.

Write the following phrase down and display it in a prominent place:

“For a few years, I will set aside the time that most people won’t, so that I can

live the rest of my life like most people can’t.”

Prepare for the “Dream Stealers”. These are the people who try to tell you the reasons why you will not succeed at this business, instead of the reasons you can succeed with FGXPRESS, as many others have. Unfortunately, these people are sometimes the ones that we love and respect the most, maybe even a spouse or family member. Do not let someone who does not have all the facts about FGXPRESS discourage you from achieving your goals.

Dream Stealers tend to come in two categories: they have either never actually

participated in the Network Marketing profession themselves (thus have adopted someone else's opinion as their own, or simply guessed at their conclusions), or they have participated and failed.

14

Prepare now what you will say when you encounter these negative individuals. Here is an example of what you could say when someone is negative, “Thanks for your concern about me. All I ask is that you look at the facts as I did, so you too can make an educated decision. I have used these products and they work. The products are not on trial. I may be new to this company/profession (select one that applies to you personally), but I am working with many others who are successful and have thriving businesses. Network marketing is not on trial, it works when done correctly. As I thought of people that I would enjoy working with and having on our leadership team - I thought of you. If the time is not right for you, I can respect that. I just didn’t want you coming back to me a year or two from now saying, ‘Why in the world didn’t you tell me about FGXPRESS when you first started!’”

This needs to be said with posture and excitement. When your potential business

partners sense you are committed to this business, they will be more inclined to join your team. If your organization senses you are committed, it will strengthen their commitment and increase their respect for you.

One of the greatest keys to success as an entrepreneur is having the

discipline to do the things you know you should do, every day, even when you don’t feel like doing it!

10. Check with your upline leaders to see if there are any other items they recommend you add to your checklist.

The first step of the Business Building System is referred to as Step 1 – “Getting Started Correctly”. The remaining steps in the System of Duplication are available in this manual. After you have completed the first step of the 7 STEPS TO SUCCESS, be sure to familiarize yourself with the entire system in detail.

The acronym for S.Y.S.T.E.M.: Save YourSelf Time, Energy & Money. Follow this

system and you will do just that!

As in every successful business, FGXPRESS has a tried and proven system. Make a commitment to learn from those who have had previous success with our company or profession.

One of the most important keys to building a large and successful network marketing

business is to keep what you do SIMPLE. This system is comprised of “revenue generating activities.” Be sure that you are spending the majority of your time with these activities.

15
