This document provides steps and guidance for building a Mannatech business opportunity through sharing the company's products and duplicating the business model. It begins with determining one's motivations or "why" for doing the business. The next steps include sharing information packs with contacts, following up with presentations, registering interested parties, training new associates, and helping them duplicate the process. Emphasis is placed on ongoing communication, personal development, leadership, and staying focused on one's goals and reasons for participating.

12. Step One – Get Prepared
1. Form your team – find a buddy to work with who can
tell Mannatech Product Stories and has experience
registering people.
2. Get 3 Way Calling on your Phone
3. Get some Information Packs to Share with others

13. Make a List
DO NOT prejudge!
The bigger your list – the greater your success
DO NOT decide who gets to hear about this.
DO write down everyone you know.

14. As soon as you Register, fill out the addresses of your two best friends on info
packs.
1. After 48 hours, call and ask if they received the information pack. Then say:
“I love you too much to mess this up, so I am going to get someone on the
line with me who can answer your questions about this.”
2. Then get your buddy on the line with you.
Step Two – Mail 2 Info Packs and
Get your Friends on the Phone
A 3-way call is one of trust. Your friend trusts you and you trust your buddy, so it makes sense
that your friend will trust your buddy.

16. Arrange for the Follow-up
Make an appointment for you
and your buddy to show the
products and opportunity to
your friend.
Write it down!

17. 1. Always do your presentations with a sense of urgency. You are saving lives with
this technology and opportunity.
2. Do testimonials first.
3. Go through the products.
4. Bring the forms with you to walk them through the choices.
Step Three – Do the Presentation
You and your Buddy!

18. The Power of 5
The Fortune is in the Follow-up
If you a talking to a someone who has not built up a high level of trust in you, it may take as
many as 5 conversations before they are ready.
BUT…
If your friend doesn’t look at the information and isn’t interested, then move on to your next
friend. You can’t afford to spend time waiting for one particular friend to be interested.

19. • Do Not Overwhelm Them with Information ‘DRIP’ on Them.
• Have Them Do Something-Look for People who are Pro-Active.
• Keep the Choices Simple!!!
• Don’t Be An Expert. Be Duplicatable.
• Professionals Sort, Amateurs Sell.

get their products paid for.
