Agel's Jeff Higginson Offers A Five Step Plan for Success in Agel Enterprises

James Holmes and Jeff Higginson at Agel Headquarters

Mr. Jeff Higginson, Sr. Vice President for North American Sales visited the Denver market and spoke at the weekly ABB on Tuesday and share a very compelling message at a special luncheon for Agel team members on Wednesday.

Jeff shared some great news about Agel's growth and positioning within the industry of network marketing. In addition he issued a challenge for each of us to become accountable for the growth in Colorado and to follow a simple formula to enjoy success in Agel.

Here is a summary:

1. Invest the next few days creating a specific written plan to achieve your goals in Agel.

2. Become qualified for the Cancun Mexico trip by making a decision about the level you will qualify for and the specific actions you will take to achieve the goal.

3. Make a decision to rank advance to Director or one higher rank if you are a Director.

4. Identify your next potential Director among your personally enrolled members and help them rank advance. Once you have accomplished this identify your next Director and help them duplicate this process.

5. Continue to expose the Agel message and constantly enroll new members.

Here are a few thoughts that I would like to share from my perspective. Success in Agel really does come down to making a decision, the bigger your decision the bigger the results. Jeff prescribed a simple plan that will allow each of us to focus at a micro-level in our business; don't worry right now about how to grow your team to a 100 or 1,000, focus on identifying 1 who want to build to Director, pour your energy into helping them accomplish that and then find the second one and continue down that path.

Agel has recently put two benchmarks ahead of us that you can use to build our teams and accomplish our goals. First, utilize the new "Agel Presidents Club" as a motivator and enroll 10 new team members at the Personal Pack or Executive level and earn membership into this exclusive club. Second, review the four qualifying levels for the Cancun Trip and set a goal to be on that trip along with someone you care about. By following Jeff's five steps to momentum you will begin to see your business grow and your belief elevate, which will then empower your prospecting activities.

Must Reading "Beach Money - Creating Your Dream Life Through Network Marketing" by Jordan Adler

I wanted to provide you with a short reveiw of the book I shared on our team training call this morning. Here is the recording in case you missed the call: Agel Team Call Episode 8

A member of our Agel Universal Team gave me a true gift last month, it's a fast read titled "Beach Money - Creating Your Dream Life Through Network Marketing" by top industry earner Jordan Adler; this is a powerful 112 page book and a must read for anyone interested in building a long term residual income in the network marketing business.
You Can Purchase "Beach Money" by Jordan Adler at Amazon

http://astore.amazon.com/yoursuccesslibrary-20

The forward to the book is written by Loral Langemeier, which immediately gave this book credibility because she is among the foremost professionals on wealth creation. The content is extremely valuable especially for newer distributors as Jordan offers a unique perspective on the subjects of leverage and multiplication unique to the network marketing industry. Chapters 9 "A Few Ways To Make Money" and Chapter 13 "The Day Momentum Hit" are priceless.
This book is a very honest assessment of what is required to build a business in 2-5 years that has the potential to pay you over a lifetime. I recommend that you buy this book today and read it in 1-3 sittings and watch your level of belief rise as you begin to imagine your "Beach Money" lifestyle.

The Power of The Internet Is Adding It As Part of The Agel System

Randy Gage wrote a book titled "How to Build a Multi-Level Money Machine" on the science of network marketing, In chapter 15 he discusses in brief why the Internet is a powerful tool to use to build a dynamic global down line. Let me be absolutely clear; Agel has developed a solid plan to help you build your down line and I would never suggest taking a single idea or strategy away from the concepts detailed in the Agel Business Plan. However; my suggestion is that you add the use of the internet to increase your visibility, automate exposures and target prospects who are actually looking for an opportunity.

Here is what Randy Gage says about the power of the Internet in prospecting:

"Enough people who are getting online know that the Internet is a great place to meet people and make new friends. And, we know from earlier chapters that the best way to prospect, is to meet people and make new friends. The same rules from the physical realm apply in the cyberspace realm"

Randy Gage goes on to say:
"So all told the Internet will change the way you do business forever. Prospecting, communication, business management and training will all become easier through the power of the Net. It's simply a question of how fast you will adopt the various technologies. One more time, I'll advise you to check with your sponsorship line - so you can balance the issue of remaining duplicatable, yet growing your business at an optimal rate."

So why am I telling you this? Over the past few weeks I have been evolving a system that incorporates 100% of the Agel Business Plan leverage by the power of the Internet and I am determined to duplicate this system by teaching it to anyone who is interested in building a business the twenty-first century way.

Another concept that my system challenges is the concept of warm market and cold market by shifting the paradigm. Consider this, every prospect you attract into your funnel (or candidate list) is either "known" to you or "un-known" to you and the fact that you met them at your local Starbucks, a cocktail mixer, your favorite restaurant or over the internet really makes little difference.

I have created a number of training modules to help you understand and add online marketing to your plan when building your Agel business. I do not expect every member of our team to adopt these strategies or have any interest at all in marketing online and that is fine, it is after all your business. For those of you that are struggling to grow your business and the idea of building a new list the old way leaves you uninspired, I want you to call me at 303-523-9503 or send me an email and let me know what your biggest challenges are and allow me to explain the enhanced Agel business plan.

Not sure? Plug into the Saturday conference calls http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/15694, the weekly webcast coming in December.

Create Your Own Economy and Teach Others How to Do the Same


A week ago I launched another major blast in my AGEL Business as described in detail in the AGEL Business Plan. Almost everyday since I have had amazing conversations with people who are concerned about the status of our economy and how a variety of factors have influenced them and members of their families. As a result, I have a number of new prospects looking closely at AGEL, some who had previously said no to the opportunity. Why are people more open than ever to our message? They see an opportunity to create their own economy by adding to their household income utilizing AGEL as a vehicle. Who do you know that might feel the same?

I want to encourage you to strive to get as many prospects into your funnel as quickly as possible by whatever methods best fit your personality, talents and resources. The key is exposing people to the message and then using the tools to assist each individual in moving up the ladder of escalation.

If you are stuck and need some guidance on how to grow your list contact me and let's begin a fresh new blast for your business this week.

New Training Opportunity for Our Team

AGEL encourages every team member to invest a minimum of 30 minutes each day in personal development. It is critical that you develop your skills in order to grow as a network marketing professional. A group of 25 of your fellow team members have began participating in a master-mind program designed to create more success when you are speaking with your prospects. There are 5 specific questions that you must identify and address in order to help people see the opportunity. We are going to teach you what they are and how to address each one in a very casual manner with specific scripts to help you enroll.

If you want to participate send an email to james@ageluniversal.net and ask for the complete details.

Here is a testimony I received from one of our team members concerning the master-mind:

"I have read the book again and I think I am getting a back bone again for AGEL, I would love to go to the next level with this business......I was ready to give up on AGEL but I will hang in and make it work."
