We Found The Best Jerky

JERKY DIRECT JANUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER
As we embark upon a new year and a new decade as members and friends in Jerky Direct, it seems like a good opportunity to take a glance back at where we have come from. It is my experience that doing so can often help give a good indication of where a person might be headed. One hundred years is a nice round number and many of us have grandparents, aunts and uncles that were very much a part of what was happening in the 1910’s.
•    The average U.S. workingman earned less than $15 per week, working from 54 to 60 hours, and there was wide irregularity of employment.
•    The Western Pacific Railroad reached Oakland, California. It was the last of the country’s transcontinental lines.
•    The Cunard Liner R.M.S. Mauretania sailed from Cobb to New York in 4 days, 20 hours, 41 minutes to set a new transatlantic speed record that stood until 1929.
•    Glenn M. Curtiss flew from Albany to New York in 150 minutes to break the long-distance speed record and win a $10,000 prize put up by Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World.
•    ”Barney” Oldfield drove a mile in 27! seconds at Daytona Beach, Florida, setting a speed record of 131.724 miles per hour that stood for years.
•    The United States had 1,000 miles of concrete road, up from 144 miles in 1900. Steel began to replace wood in U.S. automobile bodies.
•    Black & Decker Co. was founded in Baltimore by local tool-and-die cutter Duncan Black, who sold his car for $600, borrowed $1,200 from a bank, and went into partnership with fellow tool-and-die cutter Alonzo Decker, renting a warehouse in Calvert Street and making tools—a bottle-cap machine for a local dairy, a vest-pocket adding machine and a device for the government that splits and coils stamps.
•    The Miami Herald began publication December 1 to serve a city whose population was under 6,000.
•    Hallmark Inc. has its beginnings in a wholesale card jobbing company started in Kansas City by Nebraska-born entrepreneur Joyce Clyde Hall, 18, and his brother, who soon started dealing in greeting cards. They bought their own printing plant in 1916 and become the world’s largest maker of greeting cards.
•    Evinrude Motors was founded in Milwaukee by Norwegian-born inventor Ole Evinrude, then 33, who helped develop the Harley Davidson motorcycle carburetor in 1903.
•    The Camp Fire Girls of America was founded by Luther Halsey Gulick, 45, who helped James Naismith invent the game of basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
•    The Boy Scouts of America was founded by a committee that included painter- illustrator Daniel Carter “Uncle Dan” Beard, then 60, who illustrated books by the late Mark Twain and wrote books of his own about camping and nature.
•    Sunbeam Corp. had its beginnings in a company started by the Chicago Flexible Shaft Co. to make kitchen appliances. The company had been making tools for grooming farm animals.
As you can see, we have enjoyed spectacular change and progress while in a few ways, life has not changed a great deal. It would be another 50 years before Jay Van Andel and Richard DeVos would give birth to Amway and pioneer the concept of direct marketing. A decade later, Roger Ball would rock the snack food industry with his innovations and advancements in the meat snacks but as a result of such pioneers, we now have the opportunity to combine these great concepts – Jerky and Direct Sales!
A couple of the things that our predecessors needed just as much as we do are nourishment and money. Jerky Direct is an opportunity born in the 2000’s that provides exactly that. Where else can a person enjoy a tasty source of protein that is low fat and not loaded up with carbs and also have the chance to have that snack source paid for or even make some extra spending cash? And when Roger Ball determined to bring this concept to life, he looked back to those same predecessors and was determined to create a jerky like they would have made – a jerky containing no artificial ingredients, preservatives or added hormones. This ensures that each and every bag is a delight to the taste buds and completely safe for you, your family and all your friends. Thank goodness for history and the lessons it can teach us!

Jerky News
As I stood on the sidelines of my daughter’s soccer game, the guy next to me asked if I had heard of Jerky Direct. Of course! He was quite surprised at my knowledge of Jerky Direct, our conversation continued . . . I asked him what he liked so much about the company. “The products are outstanding, I love opening my mailbox twice a month . . . once for my product and once for my check!” He appreciated the value and quality of the Jerky Direct products, but above all, “the marketing program is so easy to understand and explain to my friends and family.”
We talked about the unlimited, unilateral downline and the freedom to create and build our business just as we want. The enthusiasm we shared for Jerky Direct reminded me that this is a dynamic, rapidly growing company with retention rates unimagined by other companies. It feels great to be on a successful team and to cheer each other along.
On the same day, I received an email from my uncle. He described listening (on cassette) to another company’s marketing program. After the first ten minutes of information, he was lost and not sure about what level and requirements he had to meet to receive a commission. The narrator of the program admitted that it took him a few months to finally understand the complex marketing program. The narrator assured my uncle that everything would work out and he would eventually understand the program—just enroll and find out. Because of complex and complicated marketing programs, most companies struggle to maintain 25% enrollment.
No other company in the world retains customers like Jerky Direct. Because of our superior products, great value and simple, effective marketing program, we enroll and retain happy customers. It is no wonder that a soccer-Dad would feel so comfortable asking me about Jerky Direct. He was confident that I would love the product and he was comfortable explaining the simple and rewarding marketing plan. He was thrilled to be a part of this rapidly growing company and knew it could enhance my life, just as it has enhanced his. As the final whistle blew, I too felt the satisfaction of participating on a winning team. High-fives for the soccer team—high-fives for Jerky Direct!

What does all natural and organic really
mean?
April 2009
The organic certification is a strong and consistent program that maintains a high standard of excellence.
For a product to qualify for the “all- natural” claim, all of these qualifica- tions must be met. Our products must have no added hormones or antibiot- ics. It also means they’re minimally processed with no artificial ingredi- ents or preservatives.
“Organic” is a United States Depart- ment of Agriculture certification that includes all the qualifications for the “all-natural” claim, plus the animals and all the plant products they consume must be raised on land that has been free from any chemical pesticides, herbicides, and non-natural fertilizers for at least three years.
Mother animals that were not born or- ganic can never be organic. Only if the mother has been on certified organic land and feed for at least a year will the offspring be qualified as organic for meat snacks
The organic certification is a strong and consistent program that maintains a high standard of excellence. There are a very few production facilities in the United States that are certified or- ganic. Organic
certification is truly the ultimate in quality.
How to tell your Jerky Direct story in the most compelling way
There are three essential parts to a compel- ling Jerky Direct presentation. You deliver your story in whatever order works best for your contact. You can start with a testimo- nial of making money or enjoying deli- cious, tender jerky. Then you tell them more about the product. You follow up with our simple, sensational opportunity. That’s it. It shouldn’t take much longer than a ride to the top floor of an elevator.
People are different in what grabs their at- tention. If I’m a money guy and you ap- proach me with the jerky, you’ve lost me. Eventually I’ll want to know about the product, because you have to have both a great product and a great opportunity, but if I am a money guy, you have to lead with the money. Others need to know first about the product.
You also have to get a feel for how much money is going to grab their attention along with how hard they have to work to get it.
Some people would tune you out if you led with how they were going to make $5K a month. Some need a vision for how they can do an extra $500 or $100 a month with a certain level of commitment. Feel them out and see how they respond. You’ll lose some of the best business builders if you don’t focus on what grabs their attention and imagination. Be willing and able to talk about both products and money equally well.
Don’t prejudge people. Practice your story on eve- ryone. Be consistent. Beat everybody else out there to the punch, and you’ll be a winner. You’ll be do- ing the thing that makes the biggest difference in your success.
The only way to get yeses is through the nos. You have to be willing to take everybody who comes along with whatever mood they happen to be in. How you tell your story is only a small part of the result you will get. Their mood, their mind-set all decide how they will respond. You’re not responsi- ble for the nos, just the number of approaches you make. So make a ton of them and welcome the nos.
Be respectful and courteous, but tell them your 3- part story—product, money, and testimonials in whatever order you choose. If you judge everyone you meet as not being interested or worthy of your time, you’ll end up not practicing your storytelling very much. For your ongoing success, more than anything else, you need practice telling your story.
In fact, if you really want to challenge yourself to become an expert storyteller, instead of counting the yeses, count the nos. Try to get to 99 nos. Try going back and re-pitching the people who already told you no. Give them a new testimonial. The more pitching you do, the better you’ll get, and the more yeses you’ll get. By the time you get to 99, you’ll have a thriving business.
Simply play the numbers game. How many people do you have to approach? What is a true “success month,” “success week,” or “success day?”
It’s a day, week, or month in which you meet your goal. If you need an extra $500 a month in order to make your life what you want it to be, figure out how many stories you have to tell a day, a week or a month to get there. What are your ratios? Give a complete story—money, product, success stories to
…let’s say…20 people. Maybe it’s only 10. Maybe it’s 40. Find out your ratio, then commit to it to get your $500 a month. What if your goal is $1,000 or $5,000 a month? You’ll adjust your contacting until you find your personal ratio. Then you’ll improve upon it.
The first time you set your ratios will be your hardest, because it will always become easier the more you do it. You’ll start duplicating, and oth- ers will start doing what you do and filling your downline. It’s all about duplication and exponen- tial growth.
Telling your story to everyone you meet, espe- cially those you know best (your warm market) is the best way to build this business. Then you’ll get each of your new Distributors to do the same thing. It’s simple to just carry jerky with you eve- rywhere and share it with others. Then strike up casual conversations about what you do. Eighty percent of your success will be with your warm market.
